Good morning everyone! I had a really fabulous weekend:

Thu: Grouping in Velks for easy exp, we had a blast - made nearly 1,5 AAs. Loot was quite good, group got the hot zone aug once and I collected lots of Crystalline Silk Threads for Coldain Shawl #5. Once I fell down and had to fight my way back up, which resulted in the drop of a LoN Booster Pack!!! :-) Sold it in Bazaar for 60k, 20k for each in group!

Fri: Tried to get some Glowing Worm Biles for the Shawl... nearly 2 hours of shardwurm killing south of the caves until the first drop! Went to Velks and soloed another AA. Found out that I still had to claim a Booster Pack from SoF expansion and got another 60k in Bazaar! :-)) No more Booster Pack drops this weekend, althoug it was LoN promotion?

Sat: Took the chance to settle some matters that were long overdue:
  • Got two more worm biles.
  • Used all the crystalline silks from Velks to get my tailoring up to 118.
  • Made some stacks of Halas 10lb Meat Pie and got my baking up to 192.
  • Found out that I no longer could turn in Corrupted Sunshards and destroyed them.
  • Cleaned the bank and got some space back.
  • Did some Bazaar shopping and got myself a Fiercely Hooked Claw and a Darkened Visage (for 250pp!!!); then someone had SoF items on special sale, and I bought Epaulettes of Eternity and Fearpoint for 15k each! (They go for 60k+ in Bazaar on Xegony!) I'm still 5 levels too low, but really looking forward to using those items!
Sun: Some hot wine on Vienna Christmas Markets and a long walk through the city.

All in all a very nice weekend!

I focused on my new Necro main and went from 34-41 mostly in Blightfire and Mesa as I was doing quest stuff while getting xp.

Also spent a fair bit of time in Trakanon's Teeth since mob con is much better there than Warsliks or most of Dawnshroud (3 strangely ordered hotzones imo). Zone was empty most of Sunday when I was there, the old school all-cross-paths-we-are-all-social (trakasaurs help frogloks...right) mob pathing makes for a challenge versus some of the more static newer content.

Spent more time bazaar scouring (for spells and such) than I have in months put together and made a major dent in my needs --and bank space.

FRI: Worked AA's on the Druid in PoS and Reg XP on the Nec in Veks. Watched Alien with the wife.

Sat: Did a little questing on the Cleric and then back to the Druid and NEc like Fri.

Sun: See Dru and NEk above. Nek Dinged =D. Took the Clr and RNG along with the wife Bard to OS to get a Nec spell. The RNG and BRD left with full bags of spells but not the needed one. Watched Aliens with the wife.

Raiding has stunk recently. Not enough people showing to do much. Not sure if it's the new expansion or the holidays. Hopefully things will pick up soon.

Did the Dragon Eggs DoN mission in the accursed nest. First time doing that one and was pleased to find the mobs conned white to me. Nice xp...and 68 crystals!! (and it was alot o' fun). Did a Katta Mission where you ahve to play hide and seek...that was alot of fun too.

Capped off the weekend last night with a 1.5 raid for a guildie. It was a tough one for a well deserving mage. Glad we got it done.

Played paintball in the freezing cold on Sunday, but hads lots of people show up and got a couple really intense games in. I can now pack away my marker and mask, contentedly, for the season.

I also got the holiday decorations up, and christmas cards done. Busy weekend, but low key.

Today I'm snowed in. Smiley: grin

Dinged 66 on the chanter and couldn't find a single spell rune for sell in bazaar. Loaded up the mage, cleric and chanter and went named hopping in Stoneroot Falls and Nobles Causeway off and on during the weekend. Didn't get a single rune.

Saturday afternoon I went on a Shyra raid with only 20 people. Not good. Wiped twice then called it quits.

Sunday night made some Misty Thicket Picnics to try and max my trophy. Made it to 37% into level 6. Should be able to finish it up tonight.

Fri: Worked on my tradeskills for the Beastlord 2.0, but accidentally deleted my Elder's Totem Mold when I was destroyed extra helm molds that I had skilled smithing up with. Kicked myself for about an hour (and petitioned to get my mold back) and joined some friends in Icefall to kill some mammoths.

Sat: No word on the destroyed mold, so I worked on my baby monk in Goru'Kar and camped the Dusty Soriz Worker Pouch for him in Ssra.

Sun: Katta missions! Still at amiable faction, but working slowly toward ally. No word from a GM about my mold, but I did have fun in Katta. Finished off the night with an officer from my old guild in Dragonscale Hills looking for tradeskill drops.

I have been switching back and forth on my cleric/ranger and druid/paladin duos.
They have been in velks. So thats most of my game play. I log them on burn off lod and switch. Picked up the cloak for Winjon but not sure it will be an improvement. Have had fun wandering the zone, made it up close to the frenzy camp . Last night Win slipped off the ledge and Prim followed him. She bounced too far and ended up being beat on by the icepaw kobalds.
On Friday I worked an overnight on the ship. Got my quarterly haircut, bought goodies for elne's birthday.
Saturday was Sleeping, reading, playing empire deluxe and the toons in velks.
Sunday I dusted of Jonwin, dinged 57 in Nadox, took him to the deep after training and spells. Killed a mob but got adds on it running and had to zone out. Definately not a zone for easy soloing for a paladin. Sunday was also elne's birthday so I gave her 50 spanks, berger cookies, and fixed dinner.
Had the duos on later. I have hit two levels on cleric in Velks, thanks to taking a time for a dain. He has his spells now and its time to start thinking about his epic. I also have to get back into playing the shaman and cleric.
