So after all this leveling has been undertaken comes the inevitable “omg they’re naked!” series of runs.  For some people the run goes as far as “traffic Need a full set of gearzOr for my new ….” but for me it means checking storages and then making a tour of a variety of mobs.

One of the common stopping points is Justice.  Devout scales aren’t the most exotic of items but when you want a couple and don’t want to buy them it’s one of your pit stops.  I generally prefer to run with people, rather than on my own, so I brought along some friends from the Guild of Origin and off we went.  After about a dozen kills we had a pair of scales and that was enough of that 🙂

No sooner had I recalled than someone else suggested we go hit MoLS for some Shades of Light …. well … ok!  2 pair each later and it was time for supper.

These small party adventures are the bread and butter of running on Realms to me.  1-3 people and off we go.  There is a down side to this type of running and it was apparent to me last Thursday when we went as a large group to Corsterix.    Stolichnaya was doing his best as run leader and learned a ton about how things go (things go wrong, that’s part of running).  We managed a few kills on Corsty and more than a few deaths because we weren’t all clear on what we were doing and weren’t communicating ideas to one another.  I’m not blaming anyone because that doesn’t accomplish anything, I’m hoping instead that we all walked away and learned something about running together, I know I did.

So reminder of the day for me, when adventuring with a large group: keep yourself organized, help keep others organized and remember to have fun – the loot is secondary 🙂

Cheers!
