Weekend UpdateFollow

Monday morning, here we go...

Fri: Was ill, stayed at home, played some EQ. Went to Butcherblock to farm some Goblin blood and heads. Made about 50pp, then I got bored and logged off. Came back in the afternoon and cleared some bank slots by making food (Smoked Wood Elf, Hot'n'Spicy Toelings, Winter Chocolate...).

Sat: No EQ for me.

Sun: LDoNs with friends in LFay, Shadowknight (main tank), Necro, my Beastlord. My group got wiped in the first adventure, and we ran out of time. 5 minutes before the end, we still had to make 4 kills. The Shadowknight pulled and got 2 ads. We managed to kill all 3 mobs, but the SK went down. 2 minutes and 1 kill to go, and only my Beastlord and the Necro left, both low on mana and health. I tried to pull the nearest mob, fell over an edge, got 3 ads and died.
We lost the first adventure. Made another afterwards, and that one went really well. Dinged 29 and 30 (for the first time ever)!

Fri: Did a run thru on the POJ Trials for a lower guildie who hadent been thru yet, then on to POS for some work on the BOT key. Finaly got all my needed pieces.
Sat: Dinged 67 and got Conviction!!!! / Dance ....Did turn in and got my free AA from last night. Restarted my DE necro as a Iskar Necro dinged 10.
Sun: Played in MPG for a bit before logging to make dinner. Spent a hour doing faction work in GD with my Druid. Took the Necro to Kurns for a hours or so dinged 14.

Pulled out my dusty Paladin and set out to re-equip him. (that reminds me I hafta update my Magelo) Got an Incredible deal! Picked up an Edge of Envelopment for 5k!!!

Did about 6 or 7 ldons this weekend and had a blast!
Was also like when I noticed they killed the Paladins heal over time, used to give ya a 400 point heal...now its like 40 ~ 100 points a tick....sigh another useless spell now.

After killing a kajillion ghosts in City of Mist, half a kajillion goblins in Frontier Mts and a single Fallen Raider in Kaesora, my Shadowknight headed off to Droga to do the combine on her Stupendous Tome. Had a fun, harrowing run through the red con zone and realized that one should drink their Ant potions before invising and running all the way to the gate you need to sneak under. Anyway, got my book made, went to Cabilis, slammed an Iksar potion, found Evil Grand Overlord Xog (or whatever his name is) and gave him my book and Hero's Khukri.

I have no need for this, Inlee. You can have it back.

Since Iksar illusion only brought me to Amiable, I think it might be a faction thing yet. Farmed six stacks of explorer knives, handed them in and con warmly to Crusaders now while under illusion. Now I just need to farm more Iksar meat out of Dulak for more potions since I ran out and can't try it again.

The good news is that I got my vial of Ty-whatever-ium while I was there so we can beat up the Glowing Cliff Golem. Joy!

Created a Gnome Mage got to 8. That was the highlight of the weekend this time.

I wandered around a few zones doing the human tradeskill quests for DON books, and when the ranger was done that played some in OT doing a task I picked up in POK.
Briefly played winjon on sunday morning before going to work, played courtin for tradeskill items and to finish up the one don book, think it was for journeyman.

For the sole purpose of giving you a reason to post Stupid @ss questions like this. No, really...we are here for your entertainment.

Heres a thought...if you dont like the post.....dont read it....

LOL, I smell a troll.

If it's such rubbish then don't read posts entitled "Weekend Update". Some of us others enjoy seeing what other folks do because it can often give us ideas of stuff to try or do ourselves.

Go back to FFXI and post your crap there.

If you gonna post about EQ related stuff u doing try n make it interesting. Like cleared Anguish then wiped twice on OMM. Or cleared Tacvi in 3hours 40mins. Tell people the loot that dropped or upgrades you got, interesting stuff like that. Don't say "spent an hour lfg then logged". If this happens often open a new account and powerlevel a cleric. And why are so many posters on these forums low level?

So the ONLY thing interesting in EQ these days is High End raiding content? Heh. Ever occur to you that some folks don't like raiding or simply don't have the time to join a raiding guild? There is plenty of interesting content out there that does not involve raiding.

You know, there are people like me who play once/twice a week, 3 hours at a time. Try to reach 60. Or 50. Or even 40. Without power-leveling, without uber twinking (oh, how I hate the word uber), just good old hack'n'slay in a group. Actually, this is still quite fun - believe it or not.

Interesting how the rating is screaming upward. HMMM. Puppet?!?!?

Um, because, this is a thread devoted to posting lame crap we do in EQ on a site devoted to the aforementioned lame crap we do in EQ.



With 44 posts, and scholar rating, I would have thought you'd have figured that out by now.



Seriously, Weekend Update is a standard weekly thread devoted to just as you called it, the lame crap we do in EQ. Some of the most wise, and prolific people on this board post here. The thread is *clearly* labeled the same thing every week, and the content in this paticular thread is pretty indicative of what you'll find here.

If you've decided that the information contained within is not to your liking, start your own thread.
Name it something like:

The crap I do in EQ is way cooler than the crap you do.

Okay, now for my update, late as it is:

Friday: Went to a party, logged on really late to put my trader back up. (My trader usually logs out while I'm at work, at some point.) I'm discovering that playing the market can be alot of fun, when I have limited time to actually play the game.

Saturday: Kited Hill Giants with my level 33 shaman - I kept ******** up and geting my pet eaten, and once I actually died. Oh well, you have to learn sometime. Nonetheless, made some decent plat, and got most of the way to level 34. (one yellow away)

Sunday: Got all the pieces for my Earthen Gloves of Wisdom, which I subsequently got on Monday. Made some crazy money on my trader. (Well, for me, anything over 5k is crazy, lol.) Took my Dad to see Fantastic Four, which was fun.
