level 80 Mage -- 16 days, 2 hours, 40 min total played time

To be fair, I should point out that this mage is maxed out in two professions and First Aid. I've also attained to over 400 in cooking and over 200 in fishing. So I've spent a good deal of time fooling around in addition to leveling.

This is my third level 80 toon. Thanks, Dugi. Your guide rocks!

So anyhow, I went and got myself an epic flying mount just a few days ago. I've never felt much need of the faster flyer except in Ice Crown and the Storm Peaks. However, when I finally hit level 80 in the Storm Peaks I broke down and spent the 5,000 gold for a fast flyer to celebrate.

Anyhow, today I was questing among the Sons of Hodir as part of the 80's leveling guide to prepare for the dailies. As I was turning in one of the quests, I noticed that (whoops!) I had obtained Revered status with the Sons of Hodir simply by following Dugi's guide!

Not only so, but I had earned enough gold in one day of questing to be able to pay for the Ice Mammoth that Revered status with the Sons of Hodir allows. Now I don't have to ride around in Dalaran on a little chicken...
