Prelude: busy season at work for me so hardly playing EQ atm.
Friday: logged FV trader in. Hadn't really played at all this week (ducked into Vulak a few times, but I play earlier than most). Got together with some old friends and played poker. They insist on playing for money (whatever) and I came out ahead.
Saturday: Work most of the day. Visited my sister and her family, they introduced me to a board game called Catan (or something like that... analog civilization if you will) which was pretty cool.
Sunday: Finished up work in the afternoon. After dinner checked on the FV trader. Didn't make much money, but it turned out to be enough. I logged my FV necro in and went up to Plane of Sky via the tranquility npc (not guilded on FV, really just helping my brother out with his bard there). Short version of the story is I got my 2nd and 3rd island drops for his bard epic and my necro epic.
This left my necro needing 1 item to finish her 1.0 (something I never thought I would do) so on a whim I look up the black silk cape in baz... turns out it is not nodrop on FV (which is funny since several epic 1.0 drops that are tradable on regular servers are not tradable on FV). I was pretty excited because getting this item off the deathtoucher on island 4 was looking to be a huge stumbling block for my playstyle.
After vendor selling most of my mules stock and my necros potions I had the 10k (I know... that's not a large amount, I'm not playing enough to have a bankroll Lol) needed to buy the cape.
So a little over an hour of running around in game later (back and forth between npc) my necro has her 1.0 duckstick :)
All in all, last week was one of my least-played but most productive runs in EQ ever.
