Hey you, what’s new?

As real life sort of settles back down with the end of term and an (almost) end to marking papers I’ve had the chance to get out and do some things that require more concentration than chit chat.

I’ve been leveling a barb, more because I didn’t level my first 2 so I wanted to go through the paces.  So far pretty cool, finding a low level spring item stinks (hint hint) unless I’ve totally missed it.  Can’t use any brandishables so the stuff in Town Hall won’t work and dowse is useless against aggressive mobiles, such as those in the upper part of the barbarian training area.  Nonetheless using create spring potions (magic! uggh! grunt! Me drink make water on ground but not pee!) I managed to work my way to the top of the mountain and complete the quest.  There does seem to be a tiny ‘hint malfunction’ in that I didn’t get the parts of the quest that says go to the top and kill so and so until I had already killed him and looted his goodies.  Of course the motivation for that was from the poisoned barbarian on the second level.  Anyway, the progs still work, even if they seem a little out of order and the quest reward was a nice L15 5dr 2 Handed Sword that I used a fair amount, swapping Neptune’s Tridents in where needed for stats.

Dragonslayer has been fairly active, running a lot of different things.  I haven’t been out with them much because so much of their stuff is spontaneous and seems to start a bit on the late side for me, but I’m sure if I tried to get something going earlier we could get out more 🙂

Guild of Origin has been moving nicely, Erandor was elected to 2nd and has been easing his way into a role of leading regular runs.  We did a week of Gyges that was well attended, a surprise visit to Raelin for a few kills and last night we went to Danbala which didn’t work out so well, but the team felt like they learned a bit about run organization and so it was still fun.  Being in the trans maze with Zistrosk was just like old times … circa 2001 with Guild of Druids.

Happy Easter, Happy Passover to those that will be celebrating this weekend and to those who are watching Hockey, keep your stick on the ice.
