Just dinged 40 last night. I had three and a half bubbles to level around 10:00 PM and decided to leave Desolace to turn in my Green Hills of Stranglethorn pages. Like I thought, doing this gave me more than enough xp to go train and, most importantly, buy my mount.
I was only able to buy the wolf, but soon I'll be able to buy the undead mount, and probably not long after that, the tauren kodo. STV will probably be the big rep zone with Darkspear, as will some of Arathi.
As of my "ding", I am:
- 695 points from Exalted with Orgrimmar
- 1809 points from Exalted with Undercity
- 3193 points from Exalted with Thunder Bluff
- 9127 points from Exalted with Darkspear Trolls
- 13,093 points from Exalted with Silvermoon
In Phase 4, I have done a few quests out of Tarren Mill into Alterac Mountains; a few quests out of Hammerfall into Arathi Highlands; and most of Desolace. The only part of STV I have touched is the initial "find the Nesingway camp" quests (there are three of them Hordeside) and the Green Hills of Stranglethorn, mostly to clear bank and bag space. I also completed Scarlet Monastery in one run, but still need to do RFD.
Unlike the other phases, where I completed one zone, moved to the next, etc., I am skipping around in my target zones, mostly because most of these zones have level 40ish quests and I wanted to do some of the lower 30ish level quests first. Right now I plan to finish out Desolace, and then probably finish out Tarren Mill and then Arathi Highlands (or perhaps reverse those two, haven't decided). STV is definitely going to be last, since out of the four zones, that one goes the highest, with quests into the mid-40s.
One interesting side note has to do with mining. My orc is an engineer and miner, and even though she's only in zones where you find up to mithril (truesilver occurs but so far have only run into a single node), due to the changes in skilling available from smelting, her mining is 235. I have found that with the smelting changes, where you can get more skill off smelting for longer, her mining has stayed well ahead of the curve. I entered main iron-mining zones and by this time, iron was already grey to me.
