Joel’s Scattered Thoughts

Hybrid Kos discusses what to do at 70 with a nice breakdown of activities by the amount of time you’re able to dedicate to them. Most nights I play from when I get home to 7PM (1-2 hours). In that time I do dailies, check the auction house, and maybe do a little rep grinding. Then I take a 1-2 hour break to help kids with homework, clean up the house, and get things ready for the next day. If our static group is on, we’ll generally play from 9 to midnight. If not either I’ll work on leveling an alt or Jaimie and I play together. Weekends are when I get a lot of discretionary play time.

If we divide up the possible activities by the amount of time they take it makes it easier to see what you can undertake if you have a set amount of time. Of course, if you have 3 hours it means you can do anything in the 3 hour list as well as anything in the smaller time blocks.

Arthemis’ pet Arge has dinged 70! I’ve had the same pet since level 10, apart from briefly taming other beasts to learn their skills. I am very much looking forward to the pet leveling fixes in 2.3.2 because the next pet I want is a bear and the highest tameable bear is level 60.
