Eq ambitionsFollow

When I started playing Everquest, I think that like many, I thought I would play a few weeks and then quit. But, nearly 3 years later I still find myself playing.

During my time playing this silly game with some very nice people I have gained a few goals, or ambitions if you will.

One of those ambitions was to one day complete my Ranger epics (This is from when I realised I might play this game for more than 2 weeks).
Well this week I finally did so. I finally have an Earthcaller I hate plane of hate with a vengeance However I am very happy indeed and in many ways could retire from EQ now, knowing I have completed everything I ever wanted to in the game My only problem is that now I have all these planes to explore! oh well, trundle on I go

What were your EQ goals, did you complete them? Are you still working towards them?

You have actually hit one of my current problems dead on. I had several set goals in EQ. First was get your epic. Then came get to 65. Also, as some point there gaining the ability to MGB BoT9 became a goal. Also in there somewhere was the complete the 8th shawl goal. Always I had at least 2 goals so that when I finished one I could immediately move on to another. The problem is I stopped making new ones and I have now completed all the goals with my druid.

I don't have the time to raid very much so I can't really set any extreme peices of gear as a goal. I seem to be at a complete loss on what to do and so have not played my druid in over a month now. I am playing alts here and there but having a hard time gathering the same energy for them that I had for Taldaas.

/shrug. I guess I will either find new goals or quit eventually.

You entered at low level! Do not think fear is beyond hope.

I have cleared fear with 15 people, most level 65 in admission. Levels alone make the zone so much easier. Go back another time, you may be surprised Oh, watch the new imps though.

EQ Goals:

1) Complete the Warrior Epics.
2) Do as many quests as I could, whether or not they were made for my character.
3) Assist others in doing quests.

Goal completion rate:

1) Half way there, though I've been told be several hundread people..."Eeeewwwww the warrior Epics are just not worth it, there are many other weapons much better in game than those, why spend the time and effort!" That's why I'm half way there, can hardly ever get anyone to assist me in getting the Hand, The Queens Sword in Chardok, or the Sword from Sky. Was goignto try and do the Red to Green conversion for the dragon scale, but still need a high level group to get the items from Sol C.

2) Have done approximately 45%. :) Have quite a few that I've started and gotten to the point that I've needed some assistance. Just finished the Coldain Ring Quest to number 8 the other night. Had blast and looking forward to doing number 9. A kill joy in the group (level 65 Beastlord a friend of a friend that came along to help), after I presented the ring to show folks what I gained, came back showing his rings that he had gotten out of Time areas. "That ring sucks!, These are much better!" Being polite, I just said "Those are sweet rings, did they cost much on EBay?" Most of my friends that I play with, just riddled the raid say with ROFL, LOL and such. He got pissed and left the raid. Guess if I ask to join his guild I'll get a big no, huh! (Yes, I know the items were No Drop, it was the principle of the thing. I don't like folks that rain on others parades.)

3) No telling the percentage of completion there. Just know that I've said grats on a lot of quests items over the years.

Am I satisfied with what I've accomplished? For the most part yes. Haven't purchase GoD and will not purchase the new one coming out. There are just to many dungeons, quests, etc, etc...that I have not accomplished yet in the current form of the game.

Well, something was seriously weird then because GMs (and guides) aren't KoS to anything in the game unless they attack it first. Obviously they couldn't do their job if they had to fend off dragons, giants and orc pawns in the course of their duties.

Agreed not to give up because of Plane of Fear. A good 60+ group can break in (not clear though if you count the golems; maybe extremely well geared 65's). I've killed Ireblind with two groups so even he's not the insane horror he could be (though he probably still is for lvl 50's). You just need to connect up with some decent people. Easier said than done, I know but no reason to give up on your epic if it's a goal.

My personal goals were pretty basic: Hit 60 (the cap at the time), get my epic and then, after PoP, hit 65 and get my class AA title. Done all that, plus the usual "Killed a dragon, killed a god" bit, but I'm still having fun so it's all good. Oddly, the whole lvl 70+ and Epic 2.0 thing doesn't hold a lot of mystique for me so, aside from getting equipment and AA, I'm content to be at the proverbial top of where I wanted to be and casually raid, group, solo, etc as the mood suits me.

I hardly have any ambitions at all, in EQ or in RL.

Getting my cleric's epic and 60 were big milestones; I worked so hard for those. Now my guild is getting into Vex Thal, though I doublt I'll ever make it there (mostly since I hate playing cleric!)

Now that I'm focused mostly on my necro, it's all about getting to the next spell level for new pets! I did my HS(charasis) key at 45, next I have to get my Sebilis key (will need to dust off the ranger before his account expires).

That's it to a T - my thoughts exactly!

1 - Slay Rallos Zek the Warlord

2 - Slay Mithaniel Marr
2 1/2 - Slay Rydda'Dar

Walk into the elemental planes with my own character, that is the day I will be a very happy rogue.


Oh, and meeting Solusek Ro would be nice. Just because I think he is the best looking mob in the game by far.

Now you have a new goals Epic 2.0... Got to say I'm not looking forward to grinding the exp to get the level 70 when the new expansion comes out. It was hell just getting to 65.

1. Finish Epic
2. Quest
3. Level
4. help newbies
5. make friends

Hmm, complete those other 3 goals and you can ding a level in an hour or two on planes xp

/spank

Don't tease me! Dammit :)

Wow! Every server? Is that safe? How often do you sleep at night?
