Weekend Update March 5th, 2012 ---where is spring?Follow

I fired up the Mac client for the first time ever on Friday, spent most of my weekend grinding out some levels and such on a new beastlord. Something about this server just feels right, and I'm loving it so far. Currently sitting at level 32 and having little trouble finding a group.

Spent most of the weekend camping the Jade Chokadai Prod. In about 8 hours, the dude never spawned (though I got the other named 3 times). That was annoying, but I spent my time slaughtering sarnak, so it wasn't wasted. The sarnak are opposite Legion of Cabilis, which was great. I need that faction to be able to do the crugel quests on my barb shaman. By Sunday, I was out of KOS range, to dubious. Then I gathered up my bone chips, about 2628 (roughly) and proceeded to spend the next bit of time turning them in to the trooper at the Cabilis gates. He gladly took them all, and some 657 faction hits later, he was indifferent. However, I was still scowls to the crusaders. /sigh. That was disappointing. I knew that likely wouldn't get me out of KOS range, but I was hoping to be threatening.

Trying to find a nice necro in my guild who's willing to flesh to bone for me about 10000000000 times, so I have enough bone chips to be able to do that quest.

Found out Sunday that the Lavastorm quests for the nice ring (the firey ore quest, and there's 3 others similar) were active on Vulak, so I did all those. 3 of the pieces were upgrades for my shaman. Woot.

Sunday afternoon, I gathered for the raid, but unfortunately, it was cancelled for lack of clerics. So I created a new cleric to PL and found out that the tutorial was active on Vulak as well. So I ran him thru the tutorial (after twinking him up a bit) and finished that last night. Gonna head over to Paludal next, and get some more quick levels.

Not much EQ this last week / weekend. I did play a bit Saturday and got a few AAs. Speaking of the Cabilis factions, I read somewhere and it seemed like it may be true from my exp, that being maxed on one of the ones raised by the bone chips (mine was the same one the goblins raise), that it no longer gives faction increases to the others. It may have just been I was so negative on them, but after around 6-8000 bone chips, I hadn't moved from indifferent (I think with guards, and still scowling with the crusaders), and still only showing max on the one faction. I had planned on doing another 8Kish to be sure, as that should max me on the other factions as well, just never have taken the time to do it.

Also, I was thinking it was 8hr respawn on the named for the Prod, and I usually try to get some clickies. In particular, I remember an Insta-click See Invis off one of the sarnaks in the fort for a good trash buff. If you have a Dru also, the part(s) for the vs plant spell quest drop in the fort.

Octavia played quite a bit, and got some SoD upgrades for both of us. Finally got Yther a much better dps weapon than Epic 2.0. I had a slightly better dps one, but similar stats. The new one looks like a HoT weapon with 900+ HPs and descent AC.

I hoping to play some more, just have to get over whatever is making me so tired. Been sleeping whenever possible last week and half. First few days I just figured it was 'cause the week before was so busy with out-of-town appointments nearly every day, some of them all day long ones. But if that was the case, I should of been over it after a few days. Oh well.

Have fun everyone!

Yther Ore.

No EQ time this week since I just came back, but I hope to create a new alt tomorrow to entertain myself for a while...hopefully, I'll enjoy the game as much as I did 5 years ago

On a side note...my posts are totally short :P
