So mostly holiday with family stuff for me.

I did login long enough to head to Dranik's Scar and kill about 60ish mobs. I'm still indifferent with the Dranik Loyalists (starting picking away at this a few years ago). I've got to be close to amiable... though that doesn't even help since they didn't put any quests for amiable faction in (as far as my searching has shown).

Why am I still checking on this faction? The necro robe clicky appears to still be valid (and I am only level 71).

Woot on level 71 snailish! Smiley: smile

I was delighted when I logged in yesterday and "purchased" (the item for each day was free) the last of the "12 Days of Winterfell" items and received the congratulations message that I had completed each day and was being awarded a special item. I wasn't sure if I would qualify because I couldn't figure out the "system" until a kind ZAM poster clued me in the second day so I bought the first day's item on the second day.

The reward was a scroll to take to some NPC in PoK for a special merc. It was a bit confusing as the scroll itself said it had 5 charges iirc so I thought it was a merc that could only be used 5 times. Headed to the NPC, hailed her and the scroll disappeared from inventory and a message appeared that my paperwork was completed (or words to that effect). I then clicked on the NPC which opened a window to purchase either an aviak or clockwork merc - but at the same levels and prices as other mercs. Hmmmmm...a "reward" that I need to purchase. I was still puzzling over the "5 charges" in the scroll and wondered if I had somehow messed up the "reward" so I logged in my Pally who did not obtain the daily items, had her hail the NPC (nothing happened), then clicked on the NPC (nothing happened). Ok, so the reward *was* a special merc one had to buy. Logged my druid back in, attempted to purchase an aviak merc, but got a message I didn't have a second merc slot. Soooooo, now I had to purchase that from The Marketplace. (Very clever, SoE!) Finally obtained my aviak merc - it is an absolute hoot! When it isn't fighting it "clucks" - sort of.

My EQ time over the weekend was primarily spent with my druid & aviak merc at Infected Paw working on AAs. Nice loot there as well. My Pally purchased an updated 1H slashing weapon. Spent some time on "the other game" running myself ragged with one quest after another. Looking forward to the upcoming double xp weekend.

I dinged 65 on the mage. I then grinded out AAs to hit elemental agility 3. I sent my cleric merc packing. I've been soloing without the merc or his buffs.

Good Hunting!

Other than being happy that I have 3 weeks off from school, I mainly slept.. played some L.A. Noire & Skyrim on the PS3. I did some decorating in my guild's new guild hall.. Other than that, it wasn't really a productive weekend. I've been really lazy ever since the last day of classes. *giggle*

No Eq, though I think I will start playing this week. If not maybe when I am recovering from hand surgery. (If I can maniuplate the cursor that is.)
Friday was work, Saturday was work and Dinner with Elne's daughters, lovers, and grandkids.
Sunday was a Chinese movie instead of Chinese food, and dinner with my side of the family.

In between was reading, sleeping, playing Empires deluxe and making Elne very very content.

Hello all, very long time no see ;-)
My crew did fight through level 85 (finally).
I can't even remember how long it's been available in the game lol.
What a hoot though, I haven't seen anyone in the guild for so long...
Have fun and see you soon.
