As we head into weekend 2 I thought I’d take a minute to say that I’ve been enjoying the events that the immortal community has worked hard to prepare for us.
In the quest for the torch (a little quest for fire?) our team did fairly well until the last clue … the solution to that clue was “Tayalardian Rangelands” an area that our group was pretty unfamiliar with. That clue held us up for the better part of an hour I’m guessing and certainly dropped us in position. Grats to everyone questing on a thief who stood at DH[] peeking the inventory of other questors as they ran by!! 🙂 I’ll admit, I checked ‘locate object’ 🙂 You should always use whatever your class has to offer, and keep quest items in containers or use config +cloak! 🙂 An unimpressive 6th place for us, but we did our best and discovered a blind spot in our realms-ucation 🙂
The second event was mob kill … well.. it was… the mobs killed 🙂 I insisted on questing on Tharius, which means dealing with his inherent bad stats and for some reason got all buggered up while tanking and ended up splattered before I should have. No good reason … full stomach and didn’t see it because I was distracted trying to fix a missed wear/wield. Awell. The team did well, taking 3rd overall.
Third we had the flee event. To be fair this is a mostly random event since you have no control over your flee direction. Still it was a ton of fun, you gotta stay on the ball and not waste any time, we took 3rd in this event by 1 second… yep, 1 second *fshake*! We had 2 heats, in the first one I couldn’t get the right flee to save my life and in the 2nd one I was through in no time at all. Maybe averaging the two runs might have been fairer, but all in all a good event.
Today is the item find, I have no idea if I’ll have time to do this or not, I’m hoping that it’s more than a tele-scan but maybe not a full fledged scavenger hunt; people seem to feel obliged to make scavenger hunt clues as obscure as possible. I’m sure it’ll be well thought out regardless. If I have time I’ll be there, it’s been a rough day, had to put down my kitty Cooper this morning, poor guy had a brain tumour that started to really impact his quality of life, so I don’t feel up to much.
Will try though, and if not, I’ll try to be around to die in the Olympic Pkill!
