James Oliver Rigney Jr, or by pen name Robert Jordan authored the 11 volume fantasy series "Wheel of Time" passed away Sunday.
I began reading Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series in 1995 and have since struggled in getting back into the series where I had left off.
The memories of Rigney well live on through his works. My prayers go out to his family and friends in their time of mourning. Rigney has build a true legacy he well always be remembered within the community of fantasy novelists and readers.

First Post in awhile
Well, it's been awhile. Lot's has changed, Rynakor is now 51 on his way to 52 visited Un'Goro Crater. Far to much has changed, since my last post that I'm not even going to bother trying to update everything.
Last evening, I had a good run with a new guildie members Voiirn. Ended up in the Crater grinding Tar Lords for Sticky Tar samples; drop rate is so bad, took three of us the better part of 1.5 hours to gather a stack of 12 each. Nice thing was, found a nice partner to grind some quests with. He's within Ryn's lvl range; as past partners have not been able to play as much with IRL issues (i.e. school). Welcome to the guild Voiirn.
One thing I well update you on, the birth of my son, Jack Russell (photo's to follow). Jack was born Aug. 24th, 2007. He weighed 9lb's 14oz and was 21.5inches long; since checkup yesterday he's now 10lb's 14.5oz. and about 23inches long.

Chapter 45
Alchemy & First Aid
Spent some time grinding up Ryn's alchemy (259), Herbalism (264) & First Aid lvls. Upon last upgrade to First Aid Ryn now is able to produce Anti-Venom; the Venom spiders in Darkshire provide plenty of small venom sac to give Ryn a good supply; Large venom sacs dropped from the Black Widow's as well these well come in handy at a later time.
It was nice to be in Darkshire at the time; being stalking ground for 30+ lvl Horde PVP'ing sub 30 lvl Alliance toons. I caught a 30 lvl undead mage attacking a 28 Pally, stealthed and stalked him to his death. He rezzed and I stumbled upon him again; and well he rain for the shore's of Westfall with his tail between his legs.
Now, it's been upto debate recently whether Ryn should drop Herbalism to take up Enchanting or Jewelcrafting, both of which would be beneficial to himself and good money makers. On one hand, Ryn requires the Herb's for Alchemy and the higher lvl herbs costing more make a nice argument to keep Herbalism. Enchanting & Jewelcrafting though expensive to lvl; I remain conservative whether Ryn can make enough from crafting for others to offset the costs.
Azhara (45 -55)
Ryn has not visited Azhara to date, thus entailing a bit of a run for him from Thermare Island up the coast to Ratchet and then North through the Barrens into Whisper Forest.
While the trip was rather uneventful I did stumbled over a 48 mage who was heading South through the Barrens. We turned toward the other, steered our mounts nose to nose demounted and attacked. Though he caught the better of me in the duel, it was almost to close to call.
With no quests on hand for Azhara, Ryn may wonder back to Tanarsis to continue questing and grinding.
Tanarsis
Ryn, caught a flight back into Tanarsis and obtain the Hidden Pirate quests. Relatively easy once you manage to dodge the Horde that partake in the same quests. It wasn't to bad only was ganked one time by two Horde and a third Horde that I kept running into had no interest in dueling. Ryn, was able to pick pockets easily and picked up about 9 locked boxes which maxed out his Lockpicking to 225, good thing I've been getting requests to open 225 Lvl boxes.
Black Pearl Panter
I found this lovely trinket late last week. Ryn, got all prepared by obtaining the neccessary mats put out a, /2 LF JC to craft [Black Pearl Panter]. Well I got bombarded with tell's, "It's BOP not possible". What Tha! I know it said Bind on Pickup but I didn't realize the JC is the inital pickup. That just totally sucked, ruined my whole evening (not really). so, until Blizzard fixes the trade window to allowing JC's to craft at the window DO NOT ask someone to craft a BOP trinket for you.

Chapter 44
Tanaris
Wastewater Justice, the first two quest's in the chain contributed to more than 80% of this lvl. There are several groups of Wastewater rogues and mages walking around East of Gadgetzan.
Scarlet Monasary - Cathedral
Two seperate runs through Cathedral.
First of which, was quite boring no one seemed to speak and it was bang bang your dead. Bring the Light quest wasn't completed as I needed to run the Armoury and Library in order to kill Houndkeep and Herod.
Second run, not quite so boring. There was plenty of chant and banter throughout the runs and being prepared this time I hit up the party to run the Armoury and Library completing the quest in due time. And Ryn, obtaining the Black Menance dagger; one of three I've been wanting to get.

Alchemy
Ryn's Alchemy lvls have suffered over recent weeks. Ryn, travelled to Darnassus to retrieve Superior Mana Potion; rumored to be a rare find in Ulthir vendor shop. And now as I sit down the document Ryn's movement's I find that Sylvanna Forestmoon also in Darnassus.
In the same night, Ryn travelled first to Gadgetzan & Feathermoon Stronghold. In Gadgetzan Ryn was able to purchase 4 recipes from Alchemist Pestlezugg; Nature Protection Potion (190), Philosopher's Stone (225) Transmute Arcanite (275) Transmute Iron to Gold (225) and Transmute Mithril to Truesilver (225). In Feathermoon Stronghold, Ryn picked up another load of trainer recipes far to long to list here.
Zul'Farrak
Nightranger, led our group with Ryn and Sarahjean as well through Zul'Farrak instance. We also had Elawind as your healer and Paladin, we didn't lack in our healing. It was a nice run through with only a few deaths, and having Druid and Paladin with rez was cool as there were no rez runs.
At our final boss, the onslaught was wild. I'm not sure how many NPC's there we to fight to get out buy wow! After freeing the prisoners, Nightranger commanded us to remain off the stairs until instructed and I can see why. When the dust settled, we had to talk with Bly and the battle continued "Rescue them then kill 'em" said Ryn. What an interesting concept. Well, he swung at me first I just wanted to talk about the Divino-matic Rod.
