7 days countdown to Cataclysm

Getting ahead of the game is currently Électra's number one priority. This last week before expansion, I've been meticulously questing in Northrend, trying to open up as many dailies as I can. Never thinking I would need to grind rep with the Sons of Hodir/Argent Crusade/Argent Tournament, I never got around to completing, or in most cases, even starting those quest lines. Bad mistake. But it has been kinda fun just doing mindless quests I haven't done in a long time. Sort of like a final goodbye to Northrend....

Anyways... sentiments aside, I'm collecting a maximum of completed 25 daily quests to turn in once the servers go live. It should put me halfway to 81 once I've turned them all in, giving me a small boost. This boost will allow me to skip the starting lvl 80 zone in Hyjal (yes, i will be starting in Hyjal...screw swimming quests in Vashjir) and hop on down to the next "hub" next door.

And why, you ask, would I rob myself of the new experience and hype? The sheer frustration of 200 other players doing the same quest as you at the same time is not an experience I would prefer to have. I'll save the experiencing with my other 80's, thank you very much. But the desire to reach lvl 85 quickly and before others do is undeniable. I probably won't have the server first Shaman, because I've never played the beta. But It will give me more time in the end to level professions and gear up.
