Henryjones and the Fabulous Five

Well, I suppose introductions are long overdue and today's unscheduled maintenance provides a good opportunity to write a blogpost.

I started Inveniam with a checklist of things to do, and a handful of tasks were identified as being cornerstones of this venture.  In order to build a cadre of one of each race/class combo in reasonable time I need a support system.  This involves:

- Guild Perks up to and including Hasty Hearth (guild level 8)

- Heirlooms

- Storage Space

- a Banker

- access to professions

And so, at Inveniam's core is a group I refer to as Henryjones and the Fabulous Five.  They are the workhorses of the guild.  Their efforts have largely been responsible for the current level of the guild (13), they have obtained Heirlooms and are still working on getting the last of them and will upgrade the level 1-80 Heirlooms, their earnings have allowed me to purchase 6 guild bank tabs, and they cover all the professions.

The leader of the Fabulous Five is Evotika.

She is my designated 'main' on this account.  A Human Retribution Paladin currently level 78, she will be the defacto achievement hound, grinding all the reps, doing all the dungeons etc.  Her professions are Mining and Blacksmithing, as well as Fishing, Cooking and First Aid.

Next up is Gnefario:

Gnome Demonology Warlock, level 50, he is a face melter by inclination and a Tailor and Enchanter by profession.  He also enjoys moonlight walks on the beach and making Mages cry.

Representing the Kaldorei is Mallieh, Kitty Feral Druid, level 51:

A fledgling Botanist and inveterate Scholar, when not amusing herself by jumping repeatedly to try to do flips, she can be found picking flowers and crafting scrolls and glyphs (Herbalism and Inscription).

As we all know, no group could remotely be considered Fabulous without the presence of a Dwarven Hunter.  Contributing 99% of the looks and charm to this group is Bruhain, level 46 Beast Mastery Hunter:

Channeling raw machismo, Bruhain enjoys playing with his Dwarven Hand Cannon (Engineering) while swathing himself and his friends in the finest chaps a chap could ask for (Leatherworking).

Rounding out the Five is Evotika's little sister Madiera (level 46), who has also followed the path of Uther the Lightbringer, and true to form, rains Retribution down upon the heads of the wicked:

Being a trifle more delicate and even-handed than her big sister, Madiera has devoted her spare time to the study of Jewelcrafting and Alchemy.  

Which brings us to the renegade of this group, the man of the hour, the one, the only, Henryjones:

A Beastmastery Hunter (level 55) by training, Henry has eschewed the normal life of collecting boar livers and delivering packages (he doesn't quest) for the open road and a life of adventure.  A budding Archaeologist, he follows in the footsteps of his mentor and hero, Brann Bronzebeard, and pokes into the forgotten corners of Azeroth for lost treasures.  To cover the cost of his expeditions, he also indulges in the odd fit of Mining and Skinning.

Of course no proper group bearing the title 'Fabulous' would entertain the idea of operating without  staff.  Dealing with all the fanmail and autograph requests is faithful Wooster (level 1 Human Warrior) and Silverworth (who was a level 1 Human Warrior until a brief yet fateful run-in with Arthas and the boys which resulted in rebirth as a Deathknight.  He learned an awful lot under their tutelage though, and is currently level 59).

In addition to his butlering duties, Wooster has been generating a bit of income by engaging in Vendor Searches.  He scans the AH for items posted for sale for less than what a vendor would pay for it, buys them out and sells them to a vendor at a profit.  You might not believe it but he has earned over 2000g this way.

Silverworth also has a knack for business and sells Inveniam's unwanted items and plunder on the AH.  You wouldn't believe what some people will pay for Black Velvet Robes!  His activities are largely responsible for current size of Inveniam's guild vault (6 tabs).

Fame and fabulousity inevitably beget hangers on, and the Five are not without their entourage.  Rounding out Inveniam are:

- Bedlamite: Draenai Ret Paladin level 72

- Brackley: Draenai BM Hunter level 13

- Iceni: Dwarven Enh Shaman level 40

- Piquant: Gnome Frost Mage level 26

- Ignominious: Gnome Monk level 9 (will take Windwalker spec)

- Laeryn: Human BM Hunter level 65

- Iseralicht: Human Frost Mage level 65

- Remel: Human Arms Warrior level 12

and of course, 

-Hiroad: Dwarven Windwalker Monk level 13, and

-Loroad: Human Monk level 9 (he will be a Windwalker also).

Next time I will cover Heirlooms and how exactly a fresh account can obtain them quickly and without the use of a max level toon.

Cheers,

E
