Derelict Strand

Today I log in and find myself dead in Derelict Strand. I guess I must have taken a call and then died while not paying attention. Bummer.

Derelict Strand is in Northrend. You’re not going to be able to get to Northrend unless you are at least I think a level 55 and have The Wrath of the Lich King and honestly I wouldn’t recommend even going there unless you were a level 68 because all the bad guys seem to be 68 or above.

The quests so far aren’t too hard and I was pleased to find out that some of them were undead quests which I think help me with my quest for that darn horse. I already have my epic mount for my class but the Troll raptor is not graceful at all. When I ride I feel like I’m bouncing everywhere–worse than a horse with a really bad trot. So I’m aiming for that skeletal mount. I hope that it is nice after all this work.

Northrend doesn’t seem that difficult if you’re at the right level. The quests so far have been really easy and the rewards are great. I’ve been easily able to get a lot of silver and gold from kills and quests. I have yet to collect any good amount of leather or runecloth though which is a drag because I need to give the runecloth to Ralston Farnsley to get exalted with Undercity so I can get that blasted horse.

Honestly, I wish I had started WoW a long time ago. When my son talked about it I always thought it was just another Warcraft game like Warcraft and Battle.Net. I had no idea it was an MMO so hear I sit only a level 68. Sigh.

Anyway, I hope to get more money in Northrend today and if not I’m not collecting anymore runecloth then I will go back to the Outlands where money and runecloth is abundant.
