The Deadmines

Just a few hours ago, I did my first run through The Deamines. Even better was the fact that everyone in our party was both a member of the FP and an RL friend of mine. Since my first day on WoW, this marked the first time that all four of us were on at once. The party consisted of myself(level 24 hunter), Honki(level 21 warlock) and Potionyguy(level 17 mage and Dragonlgnd's alt). Tried as we might, we couldn't get two more people to join the ranks. So, we looked to another FP member...Vanin! Yeah, our party was pretty much the equivalent of if all four stooges were running Deadmines together...laughs and violence.

 

We went in ahead of Vanin and waited for him to finish what he was doing(I think it was BWL...can't remember). As soon as he arrived...well, the rest of us barely did much of squat! Letting Vanin run around that place like a berserk wolverine on too much crack was like taking all of the baddies and throwing them in a queisinart. I have never actually seen a 60 play, so I was pretty much awe-struck at the sheer destructive force of one level 60 warrior. It was like watching the Hulk fight Spider-Man villians. Before this, I wanted 60. Now...I NEED 60! It has now become a requirement to reach the pinnacle; the highest callibur a character can achieve.

 

Somewhere between annihilating First Mate...whatever and attempting to reach Van Cleef, I took a wrong turn and ran into 2 baddies solo. I died. It took me about 10 to 15 minutes to finally get back to the others, and by then...Van Cleef was dead! I missed out! Worst of all...NO LOOT! Potionyguy got a blue...Honki got 2 blues...all I was doing was singing the blues. Now, here's where stuff gets really funny. As the other two decide that we'll try and take Chef, Honki sneaks up to the edge of the ship, waiting to jump down. I try to follow...only to fall RIGHT on top of Chef and about 5 of his minions! I mean, I landed square on the dude's noggin! As we were all getting utterly obliterated(by this point, Vanin had left us to fend for ourselves...and missed all the humor), I'm practically rolling on the floor in laughter. We died and spirit ressed back at Westfall. For all the trouble, I completed 1 of the 4 Deadmines quests, got no flashy blue items(but quite a few new greens), and had by far one of the greatest times I can remember. Nothing beats going in an instance with four friends and leaving with 3 of us dead and one Vanin completely unscathed. Best part of all is...we'll probably give this another go around soon! I can't wait. Especially now that I know where to make that turn.

LoL, You should do it with a group of all lvl 18-22's. Its a riot. =D

Yeah, but it's just so fun watching Vanin go Berzerker Barrage on everything in sight. lol. That guy's a nut job!
