I finally let my alt-itis get the better of me and succumbed to buying a bunch of heirlooms in an attempt to level up a priest. I say “attempt” because this will be my oh… 4th or 5th time I try to level up a priest. Every time I’ve gotten somewhere between level 20 and 30 before I just couldn’t take it anymore and gave up but this time I have some help! So I bought the following for now at level 1:

• The Blessed Hammer of Grace
• Exquisite Sunderseer Mantle
• Discerning Eye of the Beast
• Swift Hand of Justice

Pretty amusing to have spell damage and haste at level 1. Regardless, my level 1 twinked priest still ran OOM after smiting a few boars, luckily my Blessed Hammer of Grace packs quite a melee punch. Melee priest huzzah!

It didn’t take me long at all to get to level 10 where I decided to leave Teldrassil to go to Bloodmyst Isle since the quest rewards are better than any of the other alliance starting zones. It still bugs me how the Blood Elves get two blue quality items from their quests and the Draenei get none but oh well I don’t care I got heirlooms. In just a day I got to level 20 and am currently sitting at level 21 with 38 spell power, 4 spell hit, and 7.52% spell crit. Not bad! Getting to level 20 as with all priests was a big hump and was always what discouraged me but post 20 mobs drop quite quickly and I’m able to kill more than one at once with little to no down time thanks to Spirit Tap.

This is my latest little side project in my WoW life. Let’s see how long it takes me to get her to get to level 80. Mind you I’m not trying to power level and will only be leveling my priest between heroics, raids, and PvP on my 2 main characters Yiedra and Xiedra (yeah I’m that lame naming my characters haha). The professions I chose where skinning (to get the crit bonus and make some money as well) and tailoring to make my own gear. I would have gotten enchanting but it’s a pain to level and my friend Somnium is already an enchanter so I feel it’s a waste of time. For now I’ve been going down the shadow tree as it still seems to reign supreme as the best solo leveling talent specc.

I’ll keep an update on how my little heirloom girl is doing from time to time on her journey to level 80.
