The Weekend Update - March 20th, 2006Follow

Morning everyone, had a great weekend!

Thu: LDoNs, dinged 49! Later the same night, I went to Warsliks Woods to get the Fabled Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring, and I got it, yay!!!! A very, very, VERY big "thank you" to Crawurm of Black Rose Knights on Xegony, who helped me although he was looking for the earring himself, and who constantly assisted on clearing the camp for more than an hour to get Fabled Grachnist to spawn.

Fri: St. Patrick's Day! My girlfriend and me had a cider, and another, and another, and a Kilkenny, and a Jameson...

Sat: Headache. Day in the countryside.

Sun: Another day in the countryside, sun, snow, springflowers, woods, fresh air. Wonderful. Came home later in the day, grouped with friends. Dinged 50 in Dulak. I win EverQuest!!! (At least the original one) Got the first item for the Coldain version of the Anniversary Scavenger Hunt. I would really have liked to do the Kael version, but can't mess up my faction with the Dwarves until I got my prayer shawls...

Edit: Mispselling.

I had an awesome EQ weekend.

I haven't played in several months, but I got to play this weekend.

Started off Friday debating on if I should run to Sebilis and ding level 60 since it was double xp weekend, or if I should invest the time running to lower guk and getting inline for the Fabled Flowing Black Silk Sash.

Things weren't working out getting to Seb, so I said "***** it!" Im going to lower guk. Well first of all I hadn't been to lower guk since about 1999 and that was a disaster. Second of all I didn't have any idea where the FFBSS camp was.

I managed to find my way into lower guk from upper. Spent about an hour running around not finding how to get over to the east side of the zone. Finally figured out there was another entrance and went there. I kept asking in /ooc how long the line was for the camp and noone would ever answer me (there was maybe 10 people in the zone). Somehow I managed to find the right camp and there was noone there, and The Fabled Frenzy Lord was up!

He was red to my lvl 59 Ranger so I knew I was screwed. About that time a group of lvl 70s showed up. I told them my situation, and they killed him for me and let me loot the sash! We stuck around trying to get the item for another person in their group, killing any Fableds that spawned in the zone. By the end of the night I had acquired a Fabled Short Sword of the Yakesha as well.

Saturday found me with a migraine headache which I attempted to drown out with lots of pain meds. I wasn't real successful and managed to pass out early in the evening. But I woke up at 3am and logged into EQ determined to camp The Fabled Quillmane. Earlier in the evening I had attempted to camp this beast, but there were a couple people in the zone that were using a cheat program to warp instantly around the zone, so I knew I didn't stand a chance.

After a couple of hours trying every trick in the book me and a small group managed to get the winged beast to spawn. He dropped fast and the group defaulted the Fabled Pegasus Cloak to me because I had been there the longest.

Sunday rolled around and I was deteremined to get lvl 60, which is what I managed to achieve with a group of my friends in Casic-Thule. I never realised how much of a hell level, level 59 was until I hit 60. It took me maybe 20 minutes to get halfway through lvl 60.

So in summary, I got several Fabled items I had my eye on, and I achieved level 60.

I couldnt have asked for more.

Seems like the EQ has her hooks in me again.

Friday I acted as tour guide for a bus of high school students from NJ. Got a hair cut and was able to log in Jonwin and run him to Sro. Killing LB Sg's with dble exp wasnt too bad. Some time in solo, sometime in group. Made a couple hundred in plat.
Elne's youngest daughter was in town and she took us, along with her sister and sisters SO to dinner.
Saturday I spent on Winjon and Jonwin. Again working Sgs until winjon dinged 52. Later on put Winnie into rogue shroud and killed in EF. Shrouds a nice way to farm items and get exp. )
Sunday was the day for Aude Sapere and my povar Shaman.
Took off work so I could play. Made level 46 and 47 between Sg and some hunting with Elne Clares druid in Gunthak.
Monday Eve was more time on Winjon in shroud form. This time killing in Black burrow.

Well was out of town for the weekend, again!!!!

However I did get to play last night with my juniors and let me tell you... Double XP and a hot zone is almost too much.

2 Boxing my shaman and cleric, killing yellows in Ice Clad, and cranked out 2 or 3 levels apiece while not working too hard or really focused.

Soon my cleric will be able to help my SK. and then I start the next young ones on their way up.
