A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To Buy My Mount

   When hitting 60, it seems the only thing I could think of is getting my faster mount, At about level 50, I figured it was going to be around 600 Gold so I started saving. I would be at about 700G, buy some gear, food and things off the AH, but always kept my gold around 550+. So the day comes, I ding 60, YES time for my mount, Zone home, Fly to SW and make the run to the trainer. All the while broadcasting in guild chat that I had finally hit 60, I’m getting my mount.

   The trainer and I happen to be friends, she works for someone I’ve done some quest for and my rep helped also, so my total for training and the horse come to 595G, yes! I have 598G, I buy my mount and I’m happily on my way, riding around, faster than light (well faster than my other mount I named Light). Once I get tired of riding around, I figure what’s next, I’m 60!! oh yeah, skill training, I visit the rogue trainer and I guess he’s not really my friend, because for some reason he will not train me… What? Skill Training cost gold? I had totally forgotten, you get so use to just going up, clicking on all the training and not thinking that it’s taking your gold as you train.

   Fine, I’ll sell stuff on AH, go to the bank, pull out a ton of junk that’s been sitting in there.. I’m sure you see where this is going.. What? Gold to sell stuff on AH.. HELP!!! After many many laughs at the noob on Guild chat, a fellow guildie loaned me 100G to help me along.. I felt sooo stupid! (specially after writing about how can 70′s not have gold)It hasn’t taken long to remake that 100g but I may wait another week to repay him, I want to get a nice nest egg set before giving it back (which he said I didn’t have to but I will, even if it just goes in the guild bank). I guess this could be counted as Noobie Example #2 (see Noobie Example #1)
