Zul'Farrak
We decided to have a go at Zul'Farrak, since we had seven quests in there and we'd got a couple of levels since the last time we tried. All in all it was a great success - of those seven quests we were able to deal with five, and we could probably have handled one more if we'd really wanted to.
We figured out a strategy that seems to work well when you get bad guys in small groups: both of us targeted one of the group (usually the one with the lowest level) and went in swinging until the baddie went down. The reasoning was that the bad guys do the same damage regardless of their health, so it's better to have two baddies with 100% health than three with 30% health since two can only do two-thirds the damage that three do. And this plan seemed to work very well, and even seemed to get better as we worked our way through - I guess we were just getting practiced.
Using this strategy we made our way round the place, knocking down trolls and collecting vials of Troll Temper (we needed twenty each) and bashing scarabs for shells.
We found a troll we needed to whack for a special stone - the first of two - and got that, which completed a third quest, then made our way to another part of the map to collect the matching stone and get the Tiara of the Deep, both from the same character. This last part we managed but not without gathering a following of trolls who of course kicked our collective butt.
No matter; that was five quests complete and we were happy to leave the sixth for another day. (The seventh, it turns out, involves sounding a gong but we can't so that until we've got hold of a special hammer that comes from the Hinterlands.)
We had to do something of a world tour to cash in the quests for the XP - one of the questgivers was in Gadgetzan, another in Steamwheedle Port nearby, another on Teldrassil and I think there was even one in Booty Bay. The XP was enough to push us to level 49 - great news since it seems to have taken us an age to get there. Hopefully we'll get level 50 quite soon now.
