The Fabled Weekend Update - July 24th, 2006Follow

Good morning everyone, had a wonderful week(end)!

Tue: yes, a bit early for weekend, but: I got the Copper Medal of War for my Bestlord's Epic 1.0! Just wanted to find Scout Husman's spawn point, when suddenly a party invited me to go for the medal. First part completed!

Thu: (nearly weekend) Weekly meeting with friends, we went to Skyfire Mountains this time. Lots of wurms and pretty nice exp. Although we didn't go for them, all four Pearlescent Fragments for our Cleric's Epic 1.0 dropped within an hour!!! When my friends had to leave, I went to TofS and finally got the Large Undead Gnoll to spawn who dropped the key for level 2. Was too tired to continue, so I went to bed.

Fri: Some brewing and smithing, minor skill-ups.

Sat & Sun: No EQ, but culture and meeting friends.

I really enjoy playing at the moment, but I think I should step back a bit... addiction is waiting next door!

Nice job with the pearlescents!!! That is amazing.

I played no EQ this weekend. We took the little rugrat to the zoo for the first time...not that he knew what was going on ;)

Sunday we had a board meeting for the greyhound adoptiong group...all day.../snore

Grinding on sleeper, hopelessly behind as expected but a different challenge.

Fri: Grind xp to get chanter to 17 so she can get Illusion Ogre; Illusion Dark Elf not good enough faction for Stien of Mogguk quest. Made chanter more challenging by picking a deity and the chickens are home to roost. Grinding in Highpass on gnolls, picked up many peices of chain armor...hhmm...what do do with that later...

Sat: Got Ogre illusion, unfortunatley you can no longer use Alliance on GM or Merchant NPCs so I have to do tons more faction work in Oggok to have Clurg give me his quest. Kill armadillos and later, do Lizard Tail quest in Warriors guild. Finally able to do Lizard Meat quest. Started Barb Shaman to use all the Chain gear I had collected. Barb Shammy starting with mostly chain, a few rawhide peices (back, shoulders, gloves) bear-hide boots and some chanter made jewelry. Amazing what just AC gets you fighting gnolls in BB.

Sun: Finally got faction high enough for Clurg to talk to me (need high indifferent, very high indifferent), got stien. Worked Shammy to level 5.
Also Regular Server xp trip with guild in Burned Woods (off Iceclad this week).

Frak you were on thursday, that counts a bit.

My weekend.
Thursday - Was one of about 13 people laid off from Historical Society. It was a bit of a shock but not a total suprise, the money situation had been bad for years. It looks like they will try to staff the CW museum with part timers.
Logged on the rogue in the evening and killed at the crazed goblin camp in BB.Ding 32. I Also ran around killing the bandits to help my rogue faction in kaladim. Tried the suggested idea of putting in a nosound.txt command, it seemed to work for the day, but not over the rest of the week.

Friday - More time with rogue. Then Logged on Jonwinnie the shamaness, ran to druga
to kill goblins for blood needed in alchemy. Score was Shaman 5 goblins 1. After rezzing I simply sat in guild hall casting divination and abjuration spells to raise my casting skill. ( I had them about 125 and 136, but was getting a lot of fizzles on the ac buffs a shaman has. Now its up to 135 and 160 respectively. )

Saturday. Took the shaman to Nurga with two guildies, zerker and bard. It was almost non stop killing, (even without kei!) It was fun but no blood drops. We did kill one of the named however and I picked up a nice piercing weapon!
Spent some money on the rogue, finally buying him an haste item, (SCHW) when I saw them for sale at 1100p, and an chest armor.
Spent a few minuites on alchemy as well.

Sunday - Logged on shaman decided to start epic work. Went to oot killed a few seafury cyclops, and the pirat captain. Now on to freeport, to find the barb shaman. Guild group formed and I talked them into going to Burning woods (as dot said its off Iceclad this week) killed lots of giant ancients, a few skeletons, and not one spell drop!. On the way thru skyfire we did kill the wyvern, and dots rogue took the ring drop.
Visited Grobb for the first time in a while, trained 20 points in special abjurartion, evoke, divination and languages.
Raised alchemy by 4 points! doing ursine potions for the rogue.

Edit
Just came back from interview with another historical attraction in town. Will be going to work for them, it will be 40 hours but no benefits. At least its a start.

Thurs-Fri Went to the beach with my friend. Had an awesome time, but no EQ

Sat: Played a newbie Halfling Paladin on progression, but was longing to get back to my main since I hadn't played him since mid May.

Sun: Played my main, a 21 Shadowknight. Dinged 22 in Netherbian Lair.

Mon: Grouped in Echo Caverns and started the grind to 23

Still no EQ, still no job or money.

However, I did spend Saturday night at a friend's shooting pool (raining too much for the scheduled bonfire cookout) then went to a Mets game Sunday.

The desire for Everquest is killing me!!
