S-U-C-C-E-S-S, that’s the way you spell success

Well, I don’t particularly believe in luck, but I do believe in irony. And irony tends to rule my life.

After compiling a collection of emblems of valor over the past few weeks in order to purchase the token for the Valorous Redemption Shoulderguards, I entered Naxxramas last night with 51 emblems in my currency tab and thus 9 away from my goal. We cleared the spider wing first, and I accumulated 3 more emblems. I was closing in on my prize.

Soon my shoulders would be adorned with golden, glorious wings. And my gundam suit would be one more step closer to completion.

Plague wing next. Noth down with no fuss, another emblem. Heigan smote, and another badge collected.

And wouldn’t you know it, we down Loatheb and he drops not one, but two Mantles of the Lost Conqueror. Oh my. And the only two people who still needed those tokens were myself and a warlock.

So, I got my shoulders. And I walked out of Naxx with 61 emblems of valor, which means 14 more until I can buy the Valorous Redemption Legguards. Considering I also picked up the Greaves of Turbulence and the Cloak of the Shadowed Sun, I would say all and all I had a great night.

Actually, funny enough, it seemed like only tank gear was dropping. Two Heritages on two different bosses, the warrior MT got his Sabatons of Endurance (remember: expertise typically means not a pally item, pass to a warrior or DK) and another piece whose name eludes me. The DK got nothing, which is good, because he’s a taunt-happy jerk (something I need to use for post-fodder in the future).

Tonight military wing (wtb Broken Promise), saph, and KT are on notice. I expect we’ll be able to burn through all that with little difficulty, now that we seem to have conquered the slump from the last two weeks.
