The Farmer in the Dell (or ThinkPad)

Alliance toons who wanted to look like farmers rejoiced after the release of WotLK. Previously, if you wanted a pitchfork you had to hope that a Horde who was slaughtering Hillsbrad Farmers put one up in a neutral AH, or farm Zul'Gurub for his Pitchfork of Madness. But now, DK's on their starter quests can farm the Rusted Pitchfork in the Scarlet Enclave.




Sterk's brother Ystervark is a DK, but he was not paying attention to his drops and lost the opportunity to snare one of these pitchforks. Sterk picked his up in the AH for about 5g, but it is by far the best farming implement for this costume. You can also go with a shovel, of which there are six from which to choose, or a Farmer's broom.





Here is your chance to use those Blue Overalls for something other than a fishing costume. You can also farm Solliden's trousers, which look like the bottom half of the overalls, from Farmer Solliden in Tirisfal Glades. I went up there and when he finally spawned for me his rarer shovel dropped instead of his pants, but this can be used by Level 2 so my Bank Alt now struts around with it.





Sterk is wearing the yellow lumberjack shirt, which looks far browner than its name suggests, paired with a willow belt and Thread-bare hat. There are all sorts of options for boots, and since he does not have limitless closet space, Sterk wears Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots.





Farmer pets could include the various chickens, the Elwyn lamb, or if you are really lucky you might be able to equip one of the promotional pigs. Mr. Wiggles from children's week is an easier pig to acquire. Sterk poses here with his Anaconda chicken and assorted Dalaran mounts.
