Rose By Any Other Name

Memory viewing Mommar here.

As I was playing Warcraft I met a young lady who also played.  We hit it off and started talking.   One of the things I wanted to impress her was my ability to find things in World of Warcraft.

This was during the Burning Crusade expansion where Dalaran was a blink in the developers eyes.   The girl had a thing for flowers.  So I did my research and saw that roses were very difficult to find in
the game.  At the time the only way to get these was to pickpocket them from mobs.  Most of these mobs were in places like Strathholme and Razorfen Downs.  But there was a nice spot up in the Hinterlands that you could pickpocket to your heart's content and get a large amount of them.

So I decided that I wanted to impress this girl with a dozen roses.   Having done a little research I went up to the hinterlands with my rogue and got busy to pick pocketing my dozen roses.  It took me a little bit under two hours to finish my project.   Then I got my picnic basket that I had won during one of the holidays.  Made an in game chocolate cake and went out to impress this girl.

Well to make a long story short.  I'm still single but she seemed to be mildly impressed.   So why tell you this story?    Because you never know what combination of items that you can get from different places can tell their own story.   From your banking toon being set up with the latest clothing options to just an interesting gift of hats you can have for a friend.   Everything can tell a story if you let it,  and a story is just as valuable as gold in your pocket.

So when you look to vendor an item in the next couple of weeks.   Think what stories you could be telling with that item.   Set it in your bank and someone might get a laugh out of it.  You might even score a kiss in the middle of Stormwind like I did.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
