Weekend UpdateFollow

Spent really silly amounts of time killing Owlbear Cubs in search of the elusive Small Owlbear Claw. Does it really exist I wonder? Are Kaam Rahir and his friends back in Shar Vahl having a good laugh at the idiot Khati Sha Apprentice spending his time out in the cold and damp of the Moor? At least I managed to deprive Prince Skrietat of his brain while I was out there.

Levelled my Cleric/Berserker duo from 12 to 14 and moved out of the Warrens to one of my favourite Silk locations. I am suspecting a major nerf since from the first 8 Spiders only 2 Silks dropped as opposed to an average of 2 per spider in previous times.

As things draw to a close on FV I did some tradeskilling. One of the biggest donwsides to FV is that the 1 character limit means you can't have any mules to hold tradeskill materials or Bazaar trading goods. Trying to skill up when the only space you have in your bags is enough for 20 combines is a bit annoying to say the least.

gratz, that means your sig needs updating

friday: study

saturday: study and some football (or soccer for you american peeps)

sunday: mostly study, got 1.5 hours of EQ and got a PoV group (had to cut that short due to cost of phone line, /em hates dailup )

monday: have the week off school to study, so more study

Thursday was a very nice day for Forgotten Nemesis. Much more backflagging completed with Tallon Zek, Vallon Zek and Terris Thule defeated. We are now looking set to kill Solusk Ro and gain access to the plane of Fire. Just one more Rallos Zek the Warlord kill (and subsquent backflagging completed from his demise) should see us able to raid in the elemental planes
On the raid I was also stunned to receive a Stonewood Compound bow from one of our guild tradeskillers. We have been slowly farming the parts required in the planes but to see our guild efforts rewarded and to receive a bow myself! I was knocked over, I could not love my guild more for the team spirit it has

Sunday I missed our guild raid.

I have also reached a quandry with my Ranger. Planes xp and Sol Ro xp have seen my little Ranger soar from just over 100AA to 265 in a month or two (yes planes xp is *that* good). I have trained all the defensive AAs, all offensive AAs and even some God AA's like weapon affinity 5. I think I am bored with AAs To try and spice things up and because my guild has a healthy RNG and WIZ friendly rivalvy I am now training spell casting fury.
My ambition is with bard song, ID IV and my best nuke to one day outnuke a wizzie (when they do not land a nuke well) and post a screenshot of this. A silly EQ goal maybe, but we all have to start somewhere

I was also told that the guild I once loved on FV will be disbanded on the 22nd of May May it rest in peace.

Rained all weekend so it was EQ all weekend.

Friday night made my toon on MR. Joined the serverside channel but no one on. I think I did some leveling in Naddox. LOL to many days ago to remember.

Saturday after all the house stuff.......Naddox! Somewhere between Thursday and Saturday I got level 58. I guess I am to old to keep up with such details.

Sunday.....went from level 58 to 59 in Temple of Droga (something like that, to lazy to look it up). XP was killer!!!! Raid Sunday night, went to ****.......regrouped after the raid leader got upset and left. Raided Acrylia Caverns and got my Lucid Shard!!!! Sunday was a good day!

Beastlords at high level are awesome....I say you should grind him out and stick with him.

Friday got my Necro and Cleric duo on FV to 24. Not bad for less than a 5 days's worth of play.

Saturday - BIG Magic the Gathering tournament. Made it all the way to the championship round. (I won the first 5 rounds pretty easily.) The semi-final round was a squeeker, but I managed to force my opponent to mana burn himself when he had one life point left. Lost in the finals to a very, very good player. I have to admit, the girl who beat me sure knows how to put a killer deck together. She cleaned my clock and then some.

Sunday - Hate raid on Povar. It was a fun time. Only got 1 AA, but I had a good time nevertheless.

Descarte Meditations - Arch Lich - Povar

Friday - just some tradeskilling and called it a night fairly early.

Saturday - Got one whole level on my beastlord on BB. She's now 29 and I'm looking forward to level 30 for the new spells. Can't wait to get SoW and shrink! Spent some time on my cleric on MR but never saw anyone else in channel. Picked up a few nice items for her in the bazaar even though the pickings are pretty slim still.

Sunday - Started working on getting my necro her 4th AA. She has regen3 and needs run3 before I turn her back to regular exp. She's been 51 forever now, it seems. Didn't get much done when was asked to switch to my main, 58 mage, to help GL's cleric fight down to turn-in mob in Solb for her epic. After that, logged on my druid to help my mage locate the ^%#@*#%^ Quillmane in SK. I swear, I'll never get that blasted cloak. /sigh

Sunday evening - logged on my 46 beastlord on FV and after a bit got into an LDoN group. One of the best groups I've had in a long time. We did EF and had bst (me), druid, mage, monk, cleric, warrior. We did a hard slaughter and had a blast! Everyone worked very well together. I would have stayed for another, but it was getting late and I had to get up VERY early Monday.

Was a good EQ week-end.

Friday I finished off 54 killing trolls and then worked on smithing for a while.

Saturday we decided to hit old seb for some exp. Doing fine until we had runner get away, wipe... Ran back, looted corpse, got tired of waiting for druid to get back so I decided to run from entrance to exit. Run, run, run... Woops, wrong turn. Fell into the water and swam to a ledge just in time to see 1,2,3,8,12 frogs.. Ugggh!! Cast FD... Fall to the ground... LOADING PLEASE WAIT. Ran back summoned corpse and had a nice wiz TL me out of there.

Later went on a few LDoN's with guildies and got 54 back. Hit Dulak for some carefree kiting and gems.

Sunday PoN til 55.

Stick with the Beastlord! Git a bit bored with mine til 20s and a useful pet, but just hit 45 and he rocks!

A fantastic toon to duo/2-box/bot with if you have a good caster or Hybrid.

Yeah my wife to be has a beastlord, and I regularly watch her solo reds and basically just defy all logic. Then I go back to my Paly and look for something about 10 levels lower than me to solo.
(BTW, yes I am now eating my words when I posted a while back that paladins are a great solo class... silly Mulamen.)

Went here, went there, went somewhere else....

Did some Guk adventures, some Takish-Hiz adventures....

Went to BoT (that palce is the cesspit of Norrtath )

Went to Natimbi.

Went to Veksar.

Ended up with a new neck piece for Celeni and a wonderous new belt for Babastina - with +4% to taunt!?

Another good weekend... the further I progress in this game, the more it seems to open up in front of me. Trying to get my ranger to 17 so he can dual wield...

Limited time to play on Friday and Saturday and so only made it to 16 but no worries, duoing and grouping is much more fun than the solo grind! Met up with Mulamen and Standsinshadow (and of course Rhaiynebow) ingame. Had a blast tooling around EC and playing with folks I know and like! Ended up working in pairs due to XP limitations while grouped but it was fun anyway.

I know there are still tons of places I haven't been and much I haven't done but I just can't wait to hit lvl 17. And then there's LDoN in the not to distant future... I almost feel guilty wanting to rush ahead (even if it is just a step or two), but I can't help but think that being able to DW is gonna make a large difference. Oh, maybe not at first... at first I expect he'll just wiffle a lot!!! - you swing with your off hand but miss... you swing with your off hand but miss... you swing with your off hand but miss... you really do suck at this!

Oh, yeah... I almost forgot... My Gnome tinker is costing me a fortune! A long string of failed combines in a futile attempt to skill up left me thinking of my last trip to the craps tables in Las Vegas! Going 0 for 8 is not my idea of a good time! Who said trade skilling was FUN??? It's TRAUMA, man!!!

I finally decided to form my own ldon group instead of waiting hours on end for someone to want me (55druid) and want me to heal with my pathetic 583 heal ( I cannot keep up at this level). So I did, and formed the most wonderful group ever! We stuck it out for two ldons and did awesome. Had me(druid), cleric, warrior, bard, rogue, and necro. We all added each other to friends and have been in contact since. Great Group!

Solo'd a bit in Dulak for some loot. Trying to save up to do Protection of Cabbage quest and get Solstice earring :) Tried soloing in Acrylia caverns....It wasn't pretty. I'm really trying to find a new place for my druid to solo. I suck at quad kiting terribly so that isn't an option, but I am good at root rot:)

Got my SK to level 20 and did one ldon. That is really tough to put together a 20ish level ldon....Took forever. But we got it done. Kinda nice to be able to melee for a change.

Great weekend though :)
