The Weekend UpdateFollow

Morning everyone!

Quite an interesting EQ weekend, although most things happened on Thursday:

Finally (with some help from my Beastlord), my Pally got the Piece of Marr's Emerald from Arthikus. Returned to his home town (now the tent city in Rathe Mountains), only to find out that the turn-in NPC doesn't exist anymore (killed during the Troll's take-over of Gukta/Grobb). I have waited forever to finish this quest.

The Pally dinged 23.

The Beastlord dinged 40 (in the hollow trunk in Innothule).

Got the BL's Expert's Cultural Task and killed my first hill giant in Rathe Mountains. Great feeling, although the hg's are still heavily camped.

Bought a new chest-piece, saving up some money now for a bone-studded loop...

Attempted my first few Orc MM's in Nektulous. Dinged level 37 with my zerker.

I need to read up on them a bit because I screwed up a few times and caused my group to have to restart it. I felt terrible but noone seemed to mind too much.

Only downfalls I see are skills not getting raised and noone is learning there new toon's abilities. Not that a zerker is that difficult at that level but...

Got about 1-1/2 yellows per 10 minute experience and then went to Great Divide to beat up on some wolves and giants.

Took down Terris Thule with Ring of Steel Saturday afternoon.

Took down Cazic Thule with Lucky Insane Saturday evening.

Finished up my BoT Tower key last night, which is sweet :) Also we took a group to Sol C and had a great time.

Dinged a couple AA's, bought MGB. If you are on Povar, look for Frakkor brand MGB Virtue coming to Main Bank near you!

Dot got his mask yesterday.

I didn't get much in this weekend. My cousin came in from out of town, which was cool. We had a good time watching football and he brought his xbox 360 with him. Call of Duty looked awesome.

Logged on Sunday finally. Did a bit in BoT and then switched to the shammy for Sol C. That's a cool zone.

Got my guild moving forward.....

Took our regular group and started the DoD Progression...completed 68.1, we plan on doing one a night.

Also had a Great time in MPG..We had the Blind Hunter camp.
Group make-up was:

70 Druid (me)
70 Druid (wife)
70 Mage
70 Shaman

We used the Mage pet as the MT!

Was pretty funny watching alot (and I mean alot) of people stop and watch us pulling at a pretty good rate with no real tank!

Was a fun weekend~

Fri: Raided but had pc/internet/power problems all weekend

Sat: Finally finished one of the DoD missions after changing the group 3 times. That and it was a tough zone to play in.

Sun: Didn't do much. Logged on late and did a couple DoN missions.

Week of grinding defensive AA. Did all of lighting reflex combat stabilty and inate defense lines.

I am glad I wont be going back to them for another couple hundred AA because I just cant seem to work up any excitment about grinding them out.

Fri - (I think it was Fri, maybe it was Thurs) Determined to learn to charm fight with my baby chanter, I went to Forgotten Halls and paid the rats a visit. I had a blast! I would charm a rat and sic it on another. As charm broke, I'd mez and recharm or find a healthy one to charm and kept on a-truckin. I never even noticed when I dinged 31. I'm definately going to give this char more play time. She's a hoot to play.

Later, logged in druid to join the mid-50s group headed to Nadox. We then switched to the big kids to stomp Inny and the Broodmother. Won the roll on Broodmother's ring for my mage.

Sat - Wasn't feeling well so no EQ all day.

Sun - as mentioned, GotS and BoT. Need one more drop for tower key for my mage and then will work on getting cleric keyed. Did some MMs and pinged a few AAs. Mage finally got the shoulders from HHK MM. They seem to be pretty rare lately. Missed the SolC fun as was getting late.

Highlight of my weekend was cutting an aug with my chanter then handing it over to my rogue to make this for my guild leader:

Radiant Waterflow of Aggression

Not sure why it shows on Alla as +8 dex, should be +12. Maybe send a correction later when I'm not feeling so lazy.

My first injected one. Bout had a heart attack pressing the combine button the second time to add the inlay.

Well now for my weekend I finished my epic 1.0 for my cleric(level 56) but my weekend really started last wednesday when my partner and I gathered a group of guildies to start my epic by camping Lord Bergurgle.Went to Lake Rathe did a /who and saw another cleric was there camping Lord Bergurgle so group disbanded and I messaged the cleric to send a tell when he was through camping LB. I had to log and returned several hours later to fine another cleric was in zone sent her a tell and she said she was there to camp for Natashsa so my partner had went to look for LB. Yay he was up killed him and went to find zordak to do turn in. Turned in killed fire elemental warrior did turn in to Natasha,got first shell and camped for night.Returned the following day and did turn in to Omat. Some friends(level 70 mage and level 70 beastlord0 contacted me and asked me where is was on epic.They said lets go so on to temple of sol ro to kill plasmatic priest.Next to solusek's eye for Lord Grimblox(friend's friend was camping LG and allowed us to take next spawn,in less than 15 mins he spawned) got ring.Returned to Omat did turn in to him and then to Natasha.Then headed to Skyfire for the fragments only got 2 that day returned next day got one more.

saturday - mission day, did three MM's then 4 DoN's and a 70.3 spell mission.

sunday - dreadspire day got 2 peices of my DSK key

monday - got the third peice.

Start up your own group, or sit in the zone you want to group in and shout LFG there. When a group loses a member, they usually don't go all the way back to PoK to recruit.
