Did you spend this wonderful weekend in front of your monitor? Smiley: glasses

Thu: Grouping in Grieg's, burned through the Lesson of the Devoted and two anniversary exp potions. Got one AA and missing only 5% to lvl 57! Went to LoIO when the group disbanded and had a look for the Bloodgill Marauder, but forgot to refresh Enduring Breath and drowned (noob I am). Smiley: banghead

Fri-Sun: Very relaxing weekend at home, I enjoyed the weather and had a couple of walks. No EQ.

Yeah, ok, so I came back...again... Funny thing is that one of the things I really missed about EQ was the Allah's forum. Weird, huh?

FRI: Well, after re-activating my account on Friday (Stromm), I was very pleased to find several hundred k plat I had forgotten about from selling all my old gear (did you know that you can delete all your toons, yet the plat in your shared bank will remain?). I rolled up a Human SK, bought him a Fungi tunic and some low-delay-low-damage weapons, and went to work. Levels 1-10 solo in Gloomingdeep (a place I still really enjoy). Rolled up a bazaar mule named Goblinmarket and figured out how to put on a Goblin shroud. Went to bed.

SAT: Ran over to good ole' Kurns to grind out 10-15 solo. Stocked up on bone chips, and got a nifty little aug to drop from a mob that's apparently been added to hotzones (or so they tell me). Troubling thing is that I only saw 2 people at Kurns the entire time I was there. Went to Paludal to grind 15-20 on Phlargs. Got into a quick recondite group with some nice folks from Black Dragon Legion. Later, had a nice little random encounter with a 75 chanter who was just dropping in to help people out. Other than Legion, no one at Paludal at all. Very troubling.

SUN: Needlites solo from 20-24. Fabled Queen spawned, and after asking for some help (lol) I became the proud owner of my very first Fabled piece. Ever. I know, hard to believe, right? Needlite camp uncontested the entire time I was there. Very troubling indeed. Managed to get all weapon skills maxed by the time I hit 24, but spell skills were woefully low. Went over to the PoK and managed to get several batches of lowbie mind buffs from a nice chanter, and maxed everything but Evo before getting tired and going to bed.

Camped for a good long time in Ssra, but got myself a Fabled Ring of the Shissar. Smiley: smile

I'm now switched over to reg xp, so I can get to 70 and use it.

BDL'ers are great people. Their leader, Violettafire (the mage in purple), is a specially nice person...and best friend to all the pets of Stromm.

Look for Peoples of Doom folks about on Stromm too, or feel free to call on me if you need buffies or anything (Peerii the druid).

Maine and Mass are celebrating Patriots Day today...No Work!Smiley: grin

Forget what if anything I did in game thursday. ) Its been very busy on the ship of late. I know last week I played more with the ranger and the paladin. Did a hole group with ranger, had ranger die to fabled ancient rockhopper, and had him explore parts of Luclin I hadnt been to before. Paladin was mostly hopper hunting in dsp. Not for the fabled just the exp and hides.

Friday Raid with nightwatch alliance. Courtin the cleric went. Small turnout, only 3 clerics showed. It was decided to raid fear, see what was up. No golems, but CT himself was up. Spent about an hour clearing zone then took him on. First time for any of my toons to see him. A few CH on the tank, a hammer cast, relatively painless. For us that is. Picked up the halo for the armor increase and the see invis. Now I can upgrade my range item when I hit 65.

Saturday Work very busy. Lots of folks touring the ship. No eq to speak of. Went to Balt. SF Society meeting, con on Memorial day weekend GOH are Niven and Pournelle. May have some other authors of note. Came home and just moved items around on trader.

Sunday. Rain, and more rain. Great for a slow day after 2 very very busy days on the ship. Came home and was working ranger in dsp. Killing undead, hoppers, took into Griegs for group. Dinged 48 and 49. Only died once. )
Picked up spells. Nice group of folks. Very good for a pick up group.

Had track meets both Friday and Saturday, but got a full day in on Sunday.

51 Shammie got his 5 and 6th AA's ( yeah, got the title )Smiley: grin


52 Warrior went from 14 AA's to 20 in the Hole, fighting the destroyed constructs and gargoyles. Tough fights, but alot of fun. Also, got his 2 handed blunt maxed ( started at zero, that took awhile Smiley: banghead )

Also, that same Ogre warrior got into a pvp battle with a 52 beserker in Paineel just before the entrance to the Hole. He was very good, and that DAMN stun of theirs really caused problems. I had my Tantors TuskSmiley: sly , and was able to kill him but he got me down to 6%. One of the funnest fights in along time. Here's to that Beserker Smiley: boozing ( forgot his name, damn old age Smiley: motz)

Lastly, my 66 cleric got killed while powering my ranger, and I forgot she was bound in the OT ( A high level pvp playground on Zek) So, while under rez effects, I got killed a second time by a wiz, then agian by a beserker ( should have just stayed in shadowrest)Smiley: banghead Anyway, on the 4th try a group got me to 4% before i made it to the book...stupid, but exciting.

Great time, just wish Rl would allow me to play more. Love this silly game.

First time doing a "weekend update" but it seems interesting.

Friday: As a Paladin it's tough for me to solo down thru Chardok and kill Overking Bethezid, but a group had just killed him so I asked for a CoTH from a Mage in the group. I looted a "singed scroll" for my girlfriends Cleric. She was excited to see that we could finally finish her Epic, got a few friends together from her guild (always fun to do these things non-solo even though Zordy is very solo-able) and killed Zordak Ragefire and his dragon version. We lev'd up and made the long run across the Timorous Deep to do the final turn-in. I still like watching the Avatar of Water take his good old time geting to you.

Sat: First raid with guild I am app'd too, very nice time. Started in Dreadspire Keep, was my first time in the zone since getting keyed a while back, I needed a CoTH across the Nest as it's pretty dangerous run (but i've learned how to get there w/ lev & invis now). I liked Dreadspire and we finished up by killing Master Vule the Silent Tear. Two people got their eyes from him for progression. After DSK was an unsuccessful attempt on Send. the Hivequeen, which was very very tough, and I used to think Ritesmaster Verok was the toughest spider out there hehe. This was a nice learning process :)

Sun: Back to Dreadspire for Master Vule again, but most of the night was spent on 2 unsuccesful attempts at Vishimtar the Fallen, the boss of the DoN expansion. Although the guild has done him many times previously, were semi-low on numbers this night and there was a problem with the amount of Mournful Spirits that were up at any given time.

Sunday I also spent helping out some low levels with epic 1.0 pieces, even though the epics themselves aren't very sexy statistically anymore, it's still one of the most gratifying feelings ever to finally finish an epic. I know this first hand as my Paladin Epic 1.0 took me 3 years due to the difficulty.
