Honning Kage (NA Goblin/Crystal) progress:

Leveled crafter jobs to 20+, CUL to 33, so i can start desynthing 

fish i caught. Desynth is a spell you learn at lvl 30 as a crafter.

It's basically the same thing as disassemble or disenchanting.

Her Island Sanctuary has reached Rank 10 earlier today, giving players

on the island the ability to fly on the island.

The max rank of Island Sanctuary is Rank 20, so i'm half way done.

I finished unlocking the three stages of the croplands and of the pasture.

Also i finished setting up my optimal loadout of animals in the pasture. 

Housing decoration is proceeding well.

Subs are being leveled.

Lotteries are being lost.

So I ran a few more Dungeons on WoW (with my Goblin Monk, dressed like a cowboy) and got enough Timewarped Badges to get the ‘Black-furred Bakar’ a recolour of the Bakar Mount, which looks pretty cool! I have also collected badges for the ‘Nightfall Skyreaver’s Reins’ when the Warlords of Draenor Timewalking event comes back around. 

I also did the “free T-shirt event” and added some shirts to my transmog collection. 

On Diablo 4 I have been trying to get the ‘Grandfather’ a 2-Handed Sword for my Barbarian! But RNG has not been very kind so far! I have tried to craft it and ran lots of Bosses to get it to drop.. but no luck so far! Having said this, I have had some brilliant luck with RNG when it comes to tempering and affixes on my gear.. which I may have caused me to “geek out” a little! 

My Barbarian’s gear is starting to look good, I am still adjusting some of his gear and Affixes and he is doing pretty good! It can be very expensive to do certain things, so that can become a bit of an issue.. 

My goal this season was to hit Torment 10, but I have managed to hit Torment 11! I know people have got a lot further, but I’m still learning and taking my time. Season 13 and 14 have been a great learning curve and I have learned a lot on the way! It’s been tons of fun and things are really starting to click into place! I am currently Paragon 237. 

I think I am going to take advantage of the “Rebirth” function in Season 15 (where your character gets setback to level 1 with no gear etc). I think I am going to rebirth my original Rogue to start with, then maybe Paladin and Necromancer.. 

Hope you’re all enjoying your games? 

All the best and have fun!
