Geeklectic: July 2012

2 months. To the day. That's how long we have before Mists of Pandaria launches and we have an entirely new set of goals and tasks to focus on. 2 months is a fair amount of time to tie up and loose ends and finish a few goals in Cataclym. Here is my list.

1. Herald of the Titans. Herald is the big goal before MoP. For those of you who don't know what it is...

If you haven't been keeping up with the news, titles and achievements are expected to be account bound in MoP so if you get the Herald of the Titans title it will transfer over to your main character as well.

Obviously, the biggest challenge to overcome is finding 9 other people who are interested enough to do it that they would be willing to level a character to level 80 and gear it up. Fortunately, thanks to Twitter I've been able to find a group of people who seem as into it as I am. In fact, (CHEAP PLUG) we are still looking for more and will run it a couple of times if you're interested.

2. Farming up Mats for Profession Leveling. There is a very realistic possibility that I'll be switching from my druid to a monk for MoP. As a result, I want to have all of the mats necessary to level up his professions as I level. So, I'm farming/buying cloth for Tailoring and likely going to be mining a bit to get the mats for Jewelcrafting.

3. Farming up Mats for selling other people who didn't have the foresight to do No. 2. Not that kind of No. 2 you sick bastards! My No. 2 on the list. One of the easiest ways to make a ton of gold at the beginning of an expansion is to have low level mats for leveling professions on the AH. I've been stock piling things since I first came back to WoW a couple of months ago.

4. Trying to get those last few elusive mounts & pets. I'm a collector. I want every pet and every mount I can get my hands on. There are a few that have eluded me. Currently I kill Attumen on each of my 12 toons every week, I try to organize at least 1 or 2 Sarth 3D 25 mans and Ony runs and we have a standing engagement in Tempest Keep trying to get Kael to drop his sexy Phoenix. Persistence wins, right? Please tell me it wins.

I'm sure I'll come up with a few other tasks between now and launch, but these are my primary goals?

What are you looking to do before MoP is released on 9/25?
