The Weekend Update - Oct. 23rd, 2006Follow

Happy Monday to everyone

Thu: Grouping in Veksar again, exp was good. Got my 7th AA now and don't know yet what to save it for... Improved melee or spellcasting? Logged after 3 hours and went to bed.

Fri: Can't remember what I did, strange... think I had a pint of Cider in an Irish pub?

Sat: Got 3 hours of EQ in the morning, explored a bit more of TSS, continued to do the Wanderlust quest in Goru'kar Mesa and finally got the Treat Frost for completing Akins #6 (which wasn't hard at all at lvl 55). Bought some nice boots and another Master Augment in Bazaar. Watched Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" (BBC edition in English) in the afternoon. British English is harder to understand than American English, imho.

Sun: Job searching again, I hope it won't take too long to find a new job... I have to get out of here! Had a walk in the park in the afternoon.

I finally got my EQ account reactivated, but then couldn't get the game patched and running. Spent a day and a half figgerin' out the problem then got into game for about 20 minutes, where I spent the 14AA I had (peristent casting or something was refunded) then went to Vxed to finish out another point.

I had a good weekend.

Friday -
Went to Direwind /lfg and picked up a +6 Accuracy Aug on my Rogue. Then got a group in Icefall, and dinged 71 and got a Mammoth Hide Spaulders When two groups got together to take down Taruskor . I did not equip either yet.

Saturday-
I when into Valdeholm /lfg, did an /ooc, and got a tell asking if I would need a faintly glowing powersource. Which I did since I had a Blade Chain Leggings in the bank. When I went to loot the power source, there was a Pitted Mask of Sorrows on Ironbelly's corpse as well. The guy said I could take it too. I went back to Crescent Reach upgraded the leggings to bone-Blade Chain Leggings, equiped the mask, shoulders and added the aug to other piece of gear getting rid of a 20hp/mana/end aug.

Sunday -
Got 5 AAs in valdy and icefall and purchased the first +5 stat cap AA that came with the expansion.

Friday - Signet farming. Got 2 that day.

Saturday - MPG Raids. Tried 2, won 2. One of which I needed.

Sunday - Signet farming. Got 2 more, the hardest 2, Sewers and Catacombs. In fact, had a Sewers instance that was just unreal. Got to the camp easy, the named was up, next 2 pops were also the named. Like 3 signets in a row! Camped for several hours trying to get the 4th with no luck, lol. Dinged 72. We moved to RCOD and couldn't get that to pop so we moved to Catacombs and the named was again up when it spawned. Semi-wiped several times getting TO the named, lost the group leader permenently to LD, but once we were in place it was a piece of cake. Kill, loot, leave expedition.

I only need 2 more MPG raids, which are scheduled for next weekend, and 1 more Signet, one of the easier ones, and Anguish here we come.

:D

Im not really sure what I did in EQ this weekend.
I did a LDON with shaman, no ro points only 400 more for Remove Greater Curse.Oh yes did about a half hour in BOT with guild. Dinged 60 last night in DSP. Failed twice in trying to do hard LDONs with 2 necros, warrior, rogue cleric and myself levels 60 to 66.

Friday and Saturday worked on ship in afternoon and as bus tour guide in the morning.
Sunday took 49 police trainees on walking tour of historic places in downtown Baltimore.I logged on Jonwin for a bit, he is now 56 so was working on archery skills while using root and shoot in DSP.
