| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the starting to the starting zone, a podcast about World of Warcraft and the people who play it. |
| 0:23.9 | And now, here are your hosts. |
| 0:32.8 | Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone, the podcast about World of Warcraft, |
| 0:36.7 | the people who play it. Today is April 10th, and my name is Spencer Downey. Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the podcast. I am joined today as always by my co-host Jason Lucas. Jason, how are you |
| 0:43.4 | doing on this fine Friday evening? Spencer, hello. I want to say it's another TSA after dark, |
| 0:49.5 | but it's daylight saving time and it's not dark yet. I know we're like we're just peeking through with some |
| 0:54.3 | light yep i'm doing well uh i'm going to start the top of show by um i guess you could say |
| 1:01.1 | making a confession it's not so much a confession as i just want to be forthright with you and with |
| 1:07.2 | the audience i have been playing my monk a little bit oh boy so boy. So there we go. The alt's coming out of the bag. I'm almost level 83. If that gives you some idea of like how much I've been playing it, which is not a lot. I've had some, I just had some moments late in the week. Stuff is done in the main. I'm like, I still want to play a little bit of midnight. Well, doing |
| 1:27.6 | some delve seems like it would be a good idea, and I do miss playing brew. So I just been dinking around with that a tiny little bit with no real objective or deadline or anything. It's just like, I just feel like playing, which is cool. And I've been having fun with that. But, you know, geez, the main is obviously very busy, but some stuff is starting |
| 1:46.6 | to fall off a little bit. |
| 1:47.6 | I'm not feeling a big pull to do like all of my Bountiful keys for the week, right? |
| 1:54.0 | Like I want to do, I want to do four of them because I want to get all my crests and |
| 1:57.6 | I can do delves on my own timeline. |
| 2:00.0 | And it's a good source of crests. I want to get my, I want to get my Valera leveled up. I want to get my Delver's journey going. You know, there's just, there's reasons to do it, but I don't need to do all six of them because it just turns into, you know, it's kind of pointless farm. So stuff like that has fallen off a little bit at this point in the season. |
| 2:17.9 | I hear you, but maybe I can inspire you to get back into the Dell stuff. |
| 2:22.3 | So I have a max level, my druid, my priest, and my monk now. |
| 2:28.9 | And I have an 84 death night. And the death night has leveled so far through professions and gathering, |
| 2:35.5 | not through anything else other than professions and gathering. But the one thing I will point out |
| 2:40.6 | is I've been doing the bountifuls on all those characters because I've had really bad luck |
| 2:46.1 | with trinkets. And I went, okay, there are some decent delvetrickets when you can get them on heroic. |
| 2:53.3 | So in order to get them on heroic, you need to unlock. |
