2 days into the Midsummer Festival…

And I am having SO much fun! Why? Because I have been collecting a demonic-looking set for my little druid that happens to be red, and thought it looked very festive!

So I pulled out a few doodads from my overstuffed bank. This is the result:

The Scorchling is from last year’s Midsummer Festival boss. I fed him a pet biscuit to buff his size up a wee bit :D

The Hordie staff didn’t quite fit the mood, so tried these hand-held items instead. Scorchling didn’t seem to approve.

Throw in an [Orb of the Sin'dorei] and my toon looked so HOT!

I posed beside the Midsummer Dungeonmasters and many players stopped in their tracks, thinking I was an NPC and targeting me. One sent this very kind message!

This is the ‘Use’ effect of [Circle of Flame]. This. THIS is why I wanted it so badly.

Too smexay :o How’s that for a druid, eh?

Later, I moved to Dalaran and got some more reactions. Err, right.

Looking all regal with mah little elemental.

More posing!

The story behind this purely cosmetic ‘rp’ set starts from last year’s (2009) Midsummer Festival, when I attained the [Crown of the Fire Festival] and thought it could look a lot better for something to represent fire. It wasn’t until I spotted someone on my escapist roleplaying realm wearing the [Circle of Flame] that I began trying to attain it.

As most of us well know, Blackrock Depths is one heck of a huge dungeon. It was daunting to 2 of my guildies when I dragged them in there in an attempt at exploring the place (and to find out where that boss with the [Circle of Flame] was located. None of us had the Shadowforge Key, nor any experience in the instance. It took us 3 to 4 whole exhausting hours getting the keys and MC attunement done. Still, I was put off by the whole need to travel down to Blackrock Mountain and actually find my way in just to farm a rare drop from that boss.

Then Brewfest happened. [Direbrew's Remote] dropped and I finally got a way to not only directly get to BRD, but also to a location only 2 minutes from the boss I wanted to farm!

And I farmed him till this year on and off till last week when that rare headpiece dropped. That drop made me realize my druid had nothing appropriate to wear with it! And so, I began to farm some BC gears to suit it, and the above screenshots are the incomplete results. Why incomplete? I’m still lacking gloves and bracers for the set!

I have a feeling this vicious cycle is about to start again. Why? Because [Frostscythe of Lord Ahune] dropped yesterday, and I need a white/ blue to match it!!!! Oh noes!!!!

How has your Midsummer Festival been, and how have you been celebrating it in-game?

PS: Chawa, sorry :< It appears I didn’t screenshot the [Frostscythe of Lord Ahune] yesterday. Will do so when the server is up! :D
