Hey Anon lurkers of Alla... Weekend update April 9, 2012Follow

I got into a LDoN adventure (on Vulak) on Friday I think. Maybe it was Thursday. Anyway, close enough. That was fun. finished up my Blood of Nadox spell. One of the drops was a pain, the others were much easier. Spent some time in PoI killing at the entrance for some AAs. Working towards the first rank of canni. I have, I think, 8 AAs more to go before I get there (3 more for MC 3 and then 5 for canni 1).

That's about it. Easter weekend, so I was visting family and stuff.

Was in Guk with my necro/beast combo ( super fun and very deadly ) when the I came around a corner and the Fabled Froglok Shin Lord...

We could barely do any damage, so I hopped on my 74 Troll warrior ( for the first time since F2P ) and killed him cause I have a Paladin that could use the sword. Turned out the warrior was fun, so went Fabled hunting. In Lower Guk had the assassin pop and the Cavalier. SO decided to head to Old Sebilis and see what was up. Turns out the only Fabled that I have never gotten was the Chef, who was up and grinning at me....but he was Yellow. Figured what the heck, and dang if I didn't get him... Cool summon dagger wrist bracer drop.
Headed down to see if Trak was up...no luck, but the The Fabled Tolapumj was up and he was yellow also...got him as well, so got a rob for my Necro...

Not alot of playing time, but a good time was had...

Logged on and off Friday and Saturday while trying to figure out what happened to my account in 10 months of not playing.
Started making some new hot keys for the ranger, who I now enjoy playing the most of my Povar toons.
Sunday I was trying to buy some station cash and continuing on new hot keys when I took advantage of a comment on a free PL group. Thanks to Morluk(sp?) of Triton guild and burning LOD I leveled to 77 and added 18 aa to my ranger in less than an hour. Didnt buy the station cash in game as my cc wasn't being processed. Wanted to take advantage of double cash to pick up some of those very large capacity bags for sale.

So yes I'm back in game, both accounts are active gold, (one for only a month Sony did that on its own, but I wont complain) and I'll see what happens. Just wont be playing all the toons as the idea of doing 8 sets of hotkeys and socails and spell sets is a bit much at this time.

Got my shadowknight to 71. Trying to farm AAs with him and it's rough because of how camped everything is (especially the hole). Beyond the scarcity of things to kill, it really is much more pleasant getting AAs with him than my mage. Everything dies without losing any hp/mana.

My trio is moving up. Finally forced myself to the lvl 60 hotzone and found a quiet reasonably safe pulling spot. MY 65 warrior got a few AA points and got a level and a half on my warlock/rogue putting them at 59. Started a silver account for warlock/rogue when F2P hit and the 65 warrior is a VERY old alt on my main account that hadn't seen action in along time. Seems like a pretty good trio though. Trying to grind some AA on my warrior as he only has 40 right now (when I played in before it was still a grind to earn AA). Figure let the other 2 toons catch up to him and hopefully get him some defensive/hp/threat aas in. Luckily he has the double exp veteran reward so I can get him a good chunk of AA during that time.

Absolutely no EQ this weekend as I was either traveling or spending time with family. I did leave my wife and kids where we traveled to so tonight I have free reign to do whatever and I am 99% sure that is going to involve some quality time with me toons.

I guess it wasn't this weekend, but rather starting about Wednesday last week and ending Friday night.

I was doing the MG Anniversary tasks. Got both augs and the mount. The augs are really nice, and were on my to-get list for upgrading my aug set, so it's nice to get 2 really nice ones in quick succession.

I wish I had done these tasks last year. but from what I hear, last year was a lot more competition for mob drops. This year to me seemed really easy. There were no obvious griefs being brought up in /ooc. People were /ooc'ing for drops. And trains seemed to be at a minimum. Granted, I had to be have my toon in DSH for almost 48 hours straight, but it wasn't bad.

When I was able to be at the keys for a few minutes between doing things around the house, I would refresh all my buffs and go give him a 4 minute burn; popping off my raid burn and making sure I would mgb Auspice to a couple nearby groups at the same time. I figured if I could help knock him down 1% it was worth it, lol.

I'm happier with the mount than I thought I would be, too. It seems to be more maneuverable than the blimp mount they had on sale in the station store a few months back. And it makes less noise than the blimp does.

Wonderful thread. Nice to see new people posting (or older ones that don't post in EQ much lately).

Didn't get to play much this last week. I got one day in and worked on getting the Enc some AAs, and practicing Headshotting techniques. I miss the old AE spells working with Headshot, but oh well.

Been a busy week in RL. Thu was surgery. I slept through it without anything but a local, but I was tired since we got a new 3yr old dog Wed night, and he's a barker. Got this new to me laptop Tue I think it was. It's better than my old computer. Haven't tried it out much in EQ, 'cept for a few minutes to make sure it worked. Had the wireless working for a while, then it was all ********, so ended up plugging it in. Was hoping the wireless would work, so I could surf / play EQ while doing treatments (3.5-4hrs almost every day).

If I get the wireless working again, that's what I'll do or watch videos.

Fri was a dentist appointment, that took about 10mins to just do x-rays, examination, then say come back next week when someone is here to do the work. That was strange. Did something Sat but I can't remember what. Did redo my bandages Sat night, and was surprised there was only one incision. It looked really good. It felt like there was two, but it's probably where they moved stuff around. Pain is very tolerable without medication now.

First stuff they gave me made me itch worse than the pain. Still itchy at the site, but the pain meds made me itch to the core all over. The itch and pain made me want to smoke worse, so I haven't done too good this last week. I was down to 3 or 4 a day. Hopefully, I'll get back to that soon, so I can quit all together.

I've been wanting to get back to the AA wiki stuff, and manually verify everyone, since I re-uploaded them all a week or so ago, and make sure the updates didn't erase anything, and also verify that the spreadsheets were in sync with the wiki pages.

And, as such, it only gets worse the older you get. Some people love it. Me on the other hand, I hate being like that, but it's my nature to be spontaneous and do whatever, whenever. I used to enjoy it (the added pressure, need to rush, etc.), but the more responsibilities you get, the more annoying it becomes, at least to me. I always wanted to be one of those here's plan, everything will get done ahead of time, will time to spare in case of an emergency, etc. I think it was too boring when I was young enough to make to the change. Now, I'm just set in my ways. Although, one of my best memories, and most fun times, was writing a 25+ page paper on playing guitar in one 24+ hr sitting. And it was pretty excellent other than a few typos. However, I spent alot of time thinking about it, making mental notes about transitions and the like.

Oops, I'm babbling again. Missjackie just got me thinking about college too much I think. Fun times!

Have fun everyone!

Yther Ore.

I'm back after a LOOOOOONG time away from the game. Good to see this resource is still around and active!
