The Weekend Update - Jul 28th, 2008Follow

A bit of a slow weekend.

I played on Friday, got my paladin up to lvl 47 in the Tower of Frozen Shadows, got to the fourth floor but it gets tough on that floor, even if all the mobs are green or light blue. Way too many of them at the same time. I'll try to progress there a bit later. After that, I decided to roam Norrath a bit and went for the lightforge bones, scattered over seven zones. Unrest, Erudin, Kaladim all went easy enough. Then I decided to try the Mistmoore bone, in the garden, after being attacked by all the greys in the zone (yes, I know, I should have started to use calm on them, for some reason I just didn't think of it, or use an invis potion now that I think of it) I just said "to heck with it" and tried to run there. Ofcourse, I got lost in the mansion, so I died. Back to lvl 46.

On Saturday, went to my parents, came home to find my kitten sick (I won't describe what he did, quite distasteful, I even skipped lunch) so no EQ then.

On Sunday, I went after my black medallion in Gunthak harbour to get my healing spell. I was very lucky to find a solo spot available (mainly because there were no other players or only a few there) and it dropped rapidly. The spirit was also up so I have the heal. Also made it to lvl 48 fighting in the harbour. (slow xp though, not a hotzone I believe) I upgraded a few armour parts (and was very lucky a guild member gave me the good stuff, really helped me out) and am now preparing to lvl up to 50 to start the Soulfire questline. With the revamping of Freeport, it won't be as easy to kill Lucan d'Lere I believe, but that's for another day.

I did not have much time to play this weekend. I spent a little time on the SW in the harbor and and fun. Real life took up most of my time.

Saturday: I helped an enchanter friend gear up. We hit up the werewolves in Undershore. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=44928 dropped the 1st time on the named, fun little spot. I went to harbinger's spire for the 1st time. That is a fun zone. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=33947 dropped to upgrade her legs. Saturday night we did grounding the drakes for radiant crystals.

Sunday: I hunted for EPs for friends 62 shammy /mage box. I got a muramite rune in NC. Early early monday morning I went shopping. I've killed like 2000 57-62 mobs and never seen any intricate defiant silk drop. I bought enchanter friend intricate defiant cap, gloves, and feet. I bite the bullet and went back to felmight neck and range hehe. My ac is up to 2016 now. My healer is a shammy box. I'd better gear up as best I can if I ever want to see tanking in MPG, the hive, RoI, etc.

Spent a good part of the weekend not playing due to my Legacy free time being up and real life stuff. I got my 55 mage the pet aura out of Takish-Hiz (using my SK for the real work). Those golems sure are undercons. Didn't die or anything but they were tougher fights than they should have been.

Really, my SK basically just carried my mage's water all weekend Killed thought leeches in the Deep until the Silverwing mask dropped. Farmed around Akheva Ruins for the caster charm. Finally got it and sent my mage on the field trip through DoDH for Slipgear's. Found out the hard way that a Ring of Flight clicked by a lvl 5 goblin rogue gets you a mighty 2min of levitation time. Luckily, my Quillmane cloak is good for 12min. Never did finish the Hive portion but I got the other 4 done and can't complain about the stats.

Lol, this really made me laugh! :-)) Remember back in time when we were fighting at the entrance, lots of players in zone, regular trains... Think I should visit BB (although I might not be able to do anything there at lvl 65).

Fri - Guild raid. Wiped twice on a 2.0 mob. Summertime takes away body count. Then finished off a 1.5 Final mob. Was a lot of fun. Also, first time I had more than 10K hp and 5k mana.

Sat - Went to a concert no real play time.

Sun - Mucked around a bit. Usual spot in Riwwi for boxing was camped so explored and found a unique camp spot on a wall in a corner. Was interesting till I managed to overpull and got myself wiped. OOOPPPSSS!

I haven't been playing much at all lately. The weather is just too nice to stay indoors.

I did log in a for bit last night. Took my trio (72 zerker, 75 cleric, 68 chanter) to Splitpaw and my sister joined me with her baby necro(58). Turned reg exp back on for the zerker and ended up about a blue away from 73. Can't let Marres catch up to me!

I put Baby Joseph into Mr. Sayer's trade window and then close it just to be a jerk.

Thought a recongized a name or two in paw last night. I was camping ZL for a bit, burning LoD.

Thurdsay I was off work, so I spent a few hours in Stonebrunt hunting pandas to complete wakis..(sp/0 of the frozen skies quest. Made 5 of them. Also killed heretics, but no hast sash. Spemt time on eq traders cleaning out druids bank of ts items and non items.

Friday after work I was back to skyfire grind with paladin/cleric. no drops but few aa's. Logged on primrose for a LoD burn, picked up an aa. Bought some armor upgrades in bazaar for plate wearers. (winjon at 61 was still wearing bp of the slavetrader.)

Saturday. Played primrosex and winjon, then the cleric. Picked up my 3rd shard and an AA a piece on all 3. Took Jonwinnie to BB. Gnoll pup was Dark Blue and my invised dropped so I tried to take him. Max hit was 550 against me, avg was 300. I zoned out at 20 percent health, pet was at 2 percent.
Logged onto chanter/beast duo in moors, took them to undead tower and the chante dies when I run her off the ramp and a skell aggroes, just as one of the sargents is engaged by my beast lord. Beginnign to rethink this duo, just too much need to swicth screens in combat. It is a nice combo if I can charm a mob for a pet.
The undead are just too resistant to mezz and cant be charmed. Maybe different mobs/zone will work. Ding 38 on the chanter anyway. Saturday evening had the grandkids over. Watched part of TmnT 2 with them.

Sunday Logged onto mage Erran. Spent a few hours learning languages from Courtin. Mage Was 16 but after killing undead in cr and doing quests he is 18. Still more questing to do. Mostly leveling mage without a lot of help, but I did bring ranger to cr to help scout and give ranger ds to mage and pet. Had to log off a few hours due to thunderstorms.
More bank clean up on mage and chanter.

Interesting, thanks for the info! I've lost my interest in the zone for the moment, but I will try to progress further at a later day.

Aye, I am milking it for what I can until I get totally bored of it, then I'll level up. :)
