Enchanting Gripes

Rant Post INC
<rant>So. Saguaro, my shadow priest on Argent Dawn, just made 35. Since she had Ghoulia (my lvl 60 mage alt) feeding her stuff to DE, cook, materials to tailor, etc, she maxed 225 on all of her skills by about thirty. So I pushed to 35 and managed to see the Master Tailor, get the cooking to 300 quest, get the Hammerfall first aid quest, etc etc.

That leaves enchanting, which I've maxed at 225. I go see any enchanting trainer, and they tell me that the Master Enchanter is *drum roll*... in Uldaman. Um... WHAT? How come everyone else's master profession trainer is in a decent area, but to max enchanting you have to do one of the worst instances in the game? For those of you who think I am speaking Greek, I'll translate. You go talk to trainers to up your skill. However, Blizzard decided to place the enchanting trainer in a very very nasty area that is not reachable by any lvl35 character soloing. So I pull in Nightmarcher for the big guns. He escorts the priest all the way in, only to get ganked by 1000000000000 scorpions. We spirit rezzed and went to bed.

I'm thinking I'm going to get my mage (Ghoulia) tonight and just run out to Uldaman and wreak havoc just for revenge. Arrrrrgh!! I'd love to know WHY Blizzard puts the one trainer in such a high level area. That's great to make something hard for players, but to make it unreachable for that level? Why not just require that to get enchanting past 225 you have to be lvl45 or lvl50 instead of lvl35? I'm thinking Saguaro at 60 won't be able to melt faces fast enough to get back there! </rant>

    No one thinks you're talking Greek.
    We all *know* you're talking Geek. ;-)

    But yeah, lvl 35 agro area is way too large to even think about going in there with just one other. Gonna take two escorts I think. So I know what's coming....Garrax and I will have to go clear the instance to the trainer and then summon poor Saguaro. heh

    At least I got my "mage water" yesterday. Now to find a group that actually *wants* to escort me to Uldaman for enchanting. :/

    I got you beat :)
    My level 25 warrior is maxed in enchanting until I get 40 and go into Uldaman and actually train artisan. Problem is that with two raiding 60s I dont have time to push another alt heh. When I get on I am usually pulled into something quickly, so I guess Belghast is on mothballs as is having an enchanter.
