How many runs of the Theramore scenario are required when your mage alt decides she really really needs the white wizard hat, Sunday afternoon a day before the hat is unobtainable?
25 embersilk bags worth of runs, assuming said mage is a tailor.
So yeah… Bocat’s post with the pretty wizard hat picture had been bugging me and I said what the heck, let’s do it. Queued up and noticed on the first run I got 8 stacks of embersilk cloth. Huh… this could be worthwhile!
I got all sorts of groups. Sometimes Rev brought his hunter with me, that made for good groups. With him there we could round up lots of groups, have a pet taunt things, and aoe them down fast.
Or I’d go alone. One run I got me, a priest, and a warlock. Warlock refused to get out a tanky pet, priest refused to heal, both refused to use cc. Group fell apart on the second boat. Another run we had two mages and a rogue. That group used cc and as long as none of us got the aggro from an entire pack we did fine.
I did three consecutive runs with a tank/healer pair who knew each other. The dk was in dps gear but knew how to tank and did amazing damage: the resto druid mostly just healed us. I managed to do 25k dps on those runs thanks to massive pulls and lots of aoe but the dk left me in the dust. Neither of them were tailors, so I got lots and lots of extra cloth drops.
In between runs I turned the cloth into embersilk bags for our alts. Now they’re all set up for Panda leveling!
In eight runs I got 3 staffs, 25 fireworks, and finally a wizard hat.
Totally worth it. Now I need transmog gear to go with it.
Grats on the Hat! Yes, PuGs are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re going to get ;)
If I didn’t have to use all the Embersilk to level Mel’s Enchanting/Tailoring I would have made a ton of bags too! I had enough left to make a few bags, kept a couple for myself and sold the rest – they were selling fast!
