Casual levelling diary - week 5

Day 30
Reached level 20 which will speed things up because I get a mount. The focus at the moment remains levelling rather than gold. So my gold has dropped to 280 while I stockpiled herbs to make the inks I will need for levelling from 151 to 225. I am probably only selling a few glyphs on the days I post. Because my paladin is retribution I also get speed bonuses for my movement from the talent Pursuit of Justice (+15% ) very important when time limited.
I spent most of my time just levelling inscription which reached 198 out of a maximum of 225, my approach to levelling is quite simple. Every 5 points gained two glyphs are unlocked which are worth 3 points so I check which glyph sells for the most on the auction house and make this. Sometimes I can get the 3 points for both glyphs and as a result I put on 48 points in one session.

Day 31-32
The world event Love is in the Air starts today which opens up 2 additional daily quests, one of which can be done in Stormwind. Because the second daily quest at this level requires a trip to Darkshore I will leave that one until I reach level 23 when it switches to Darkshire, a zone I will be questing in already.
Inscription levelling has slowed down now with a gain of around 3-4 points each day. Because the glyphs I make to level often have a high supply on the auction house I sell these at loss if necessary. The ones I am making a profit on I make a note of. Glyph trading is pretty tough Monday-Thursday on Terokkar-EU but I make a few hundred gold most weekends. This works out quite well as it means I can concentrate on levelling on the other days and just buy herbs at low cost when available.
I reach level 21 from daily quests.

Day 33
Inscription reaches the level cap of 225, at this point I can make a few glyphs using Celestial Ink but I am relying on the auction house for most of my herbs (Herbalism has barely reached 100). I am avoiding having to spend a session purely levelling herbalism for now.

Day 34
Up to level 22 and one level away from unlocking the extra daily in Darkshire. Mobs seem to be no match for me even in low level quest rewards. At some point I may have to think about buying some better gear on the auction house but that time seems a good number of levels off. I may try to get an instance run at some point, probably after the current world event ends. I will need to get a shield and 1 handed weapon so I can queue as a tank though, it may even be worth changing my spec to Protection at that point while doing instances.
