Finaly Forty

It seemed like it took forever, but I dinged level 40 last night. Thanks to fellow guildmember Asmodiuss, who is a sixty-something warrior, that ran me through the Scarlet Monestary Cathedral. I was about to log out with about 10k XP to go before my ding when he gave me a pst, asking if I wanted join his group that power leveling the Cathedral. Even though it was already 12:30 am, and I work early in the morning, I went. Twenty minutes later I was there.


After choosing the dire wolf for my mount, I went to buy my new skills. When I opened up my talent window, that mortal strike was looking sweet, but was another 10 points away because I had put enough in Fury to get piercing howl. It only took a moments consideration (and realizing I've used piercing howl only a handfull of times) to decide to pay the 1 gold and re-do my talents. Now I am 31 arms with mortal strike, and I also maxed out axe AND two-handed weapon specializations. Can't wait to try it all out tonight.

Bags (space or money or both?)

I'm level 31, with one 10-slot bag and three 8-slot bags, and far too often getting that "inventory full" message when questing and grinding. It's especially frustrating when mining and skinning and you have to trash an item in order to get that next ore/skin.

So, I decided to send my AH toon bag shopping (she was very excited). She had about 70 gold, and ended up purchasing one 14-slot and one 12-slot bag, spending about 10 g. It was hard to spend that gold when I know I'm gonna need it soon for my mount, but the extra 10 slots will probably help me make money even faster.

My question is: Is it better to max out your bag space and not worry about the cost of the bags? or to get just a few more slots and not spend so much? I think its probably best to max out (you'll make up the money in the long-run), but it's not an easy decision when you see that gold go bye-bye.
