The Weekend Update - March 13th, 2006Follow

Morning everyone! It was a weekend of trying and failing:

Tried to get the Bamboo Bo Stick in Crypt of Dalnir, but it didn't drop.

Tried to get the Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring from Grachnist, but couldn't find him.

Tried to finish the second Coldain Prayer Shawl quest, but had to find out that the Preserved Kromrif Heads had poofed in my bank.

Finally also achieved some things, too... Dinged 48 in a Takish LDoN, got the 10 Kromrif heads for the Coldain quest a second time, received my second Prayer Shawl, and got the Tundrabear Sandwich, the Frost Bunny Stew and the Ulthork Meat Pie for the third one. Just missing two more Snow Griffin Eggs...

Edit: Next week the Update thread will probably be much more interesting, with the 72 hours of double exp, the fabled mobs and hopefully a new anniversary scavenger hunt on their way...

Heh, just wait to get the Fabled Grachnist when it comes around later in the week.

Well lets see, did a Time raid (well up to Tier 4) Saturday. Took a while mainly because it was sort of a joint/open raid. Got a few guildies keyed.

Spent most of Sunday doing various PoR quests. Stealing from the Tellen guards was fun. Actually finished that quest which yielded a 200hp earring. Not bad at all. Still have a few mobs to kill on "The Needy" quest which yields a 20AC 200hp ring.

Took the baby wiz to Rathe Mountains with some guildies. Got a level or two from the skeletons and evil gnomes there. That lil frog of mine just LOVES blowing stuff up!

Spent some time on my Shadow Knight. Went from level 22 to level 26 in Nedaria's Landing. Walked away with lots of pelts, but only 2 anaconda meats. They must be very rare or the RNG hated me this week-end.

Sunday afternoon, I logged in the cleric, rounded up some guildies and headed off to do some LDoNs. We struggled through a Lower Guk one and then flew through a BB one. We had a blast! I've always liked doing LDoNs.

I'm looking forward to the anniversary events. Should be fun!

Friday and Saturday - No EQ.
Sunday - Took my 57 War to group with some guildies who let me tag along in WOS. After a about 4 kills the group ended up disbanding. Luckily as I was leaving, I was able to get a group at the RW and spent a few hours with them adding what little dps I could and dinged 58. Later took the GF to lunch and a bit of sight seeing. Logged on my 29 necro and 33 cleric in Rathe Mounts. Got a group fairly quickly and fear kited the giants for a while. Ding 31 and 35 respectively.

Managed to accumulate approximately 250 Deepwater Ink to raise alchemy skill and trophy on the 14th (which is when it will be fixed on patch day). Will probably only take me up 7 skill points per hundred or something evil like that.

Got it back.

Thursday eve I logged on a druid to get her some exp. Hadnt played in a while and she was lagging behind the shaman.
Friday I played the rogue, Elne logged on her ranger and with a guild mate we did a few tasks in WC and S ro. The rogue died in South ro when I ran past a desert madman and an orc warrior. They both took exception to my presence. Logged on the cleric to drag my corpse and rez. ( No exp regain but that was ok.)
Later on in the day I logged the Shaman on. Looked at some Alchemy recipes and played a bit in gunthak.
Saturday I put the shaman in the dreadlands to pick up some alchemy drops from the yeti. Nice exp as they are db. Went to SF society meeting on Sat eve. Came home and played Jonwin a bit. At 55 the Sg's are lb and he is having fun doing the faction quests on them as well.
Sunday I worked, and went shopping. By the time I got home and had dinner it was time for west wing and then the sopranos. No eq except to move some items around on toons and set up traders.

i went spirit shouding with my guildies and another friend of mine. i have already got werewolf form, that was from soloing in BBurro. Then we did a GM event <me and guildie Blazes> Blazes won a silver chitin handwrap - BAH- it was a race from neriak to inottule.
So anyway, Blazes is a scaled wolf and i am nearly a zombie. exellent.

I wish I had known they would do that. I gave about 2k worth of twink gear that was supposed to go to the pally to the enchanter's pet. I always thought the GMs would just say, your loss, next time be more careful.

Thursday before work, faught murkgliders in NC with a guildie dinging 58 on my druid while I was there. afterwards, I picked up my spells, invluding my new healing spell.

Friday, after running around paying bills, logged on to go to PoSky for a guildmate's epic drop, but he was unable to make it, so I went to WoS with a few other guildmates, while watching KU defeat Oklahoma State in the Big XII tournament. Picked up half a level, and learned that the RNG hates me even more that I thought. I only won one drop, and was something I couldn't even use (Though my enchanter could).

Saturday, my computer's PSU went out, so I spent the day at my parent's waiting for my dad to get home to fix it. Watched KU defeat Nebraska with my mom, and as soon as my dad got home, we got my computer fixed. Sat logged on 'Chanter and went to PC with a friend. Went from 20 to 23 in a few hours.

Sunday I woke up to tornado sirens going off, so I went storm chasing for awhile. Watched KU defeat Texas to with the Big XII Championship, and after going mudding with some friends, and a 3 mile hike after we got stuck, I sat around waiting for a Hedge raid that never happened, and then logged on 'chanter and dinged 24. We went to Echo to hunt, but got chased out a few too many times by bad pulls.

Monday I got home from work with a note from friend that said he had a corpse in Frontier Mountains, and could I please log on druid to go find it. Something about running into a cave he thought led to a zoneling. Never did find the cave.
