The only thing better than one...

My wonderful husband bought me an in game gift. Seems he had been perusing the auction house and found Ced's Carver for a mere 65 gold. Considering I have never seen it for less than 150, this was a steal. And so:



Pretty, non? Complete with a life stealing enchant. Where did we get that fancy enchant, you ask? Well we are a pretty small guild, with 16 accounts. There are only 6 characters (4 players) over 60. So guild run instances in the Outlands right now is not an option. We do want to help bring our guild up so we thought we would do a few Scholo runs to see what the deal was (yep, most of us had never run it), and to see what we would need when our guildies got high enough to start getting their Tier 1 armor. The first three times we ran it as a group, (Kaewhy at 70, two 65 priests and Velvyt at 55, 56, 57, & 59), the Life Stealing enchant dropped FOUR times. Once it dropped TWICE in the same run. Gah. Needless to say our guild enchanters are very happy.

I had a supply of Nogginfoggers elixir on me during these runs, and had great fun -



I was shrunken down and Peanut kept looking at me with love in his eyes.

So what about this blog title then? Glad you asked. A few days later Scott found another Ced's in for 80g. And so:



Complete with Life Stealing - to balance things out, of course.

Just keep grinding

So Schokti and Vassylleen have seen more play time recently and I have managed to get Schokti to 45 fairly quickly. She is now spending her time in the Hinterlands killing trolls and owl beasts. Woot, good times.

Vassylleen is busy grinding most of the Crossroads quests. Yesterday, thanks to Ravenkiller she got her poisons. Yay! And then, like a total noob (and a sure sign I have been playing Kaewhy far too much), I promptly went and spent two gold on crystal vials when I should have spent 3 silver on empty vials. Some days I am convinced I just bought this account on eBay.

I did manage to find a rare I have never seen. Ravenkiller tells me he is a popular haunt for hunters, and now I know where the blue raptor comes from. And so Takk the Leaper met my blades:



And he dropped something I could actually use. Woot!



And in true form I created a new character yesterday. I know - I just can't stop myself! I will try to resist logging in with her, I really just wanted the name.



My (soon to be) frost mage on Valen. Cuz I want to see what Scott is on about with Himhotepp's "mob control". Plus she just looks cool. But I have to catch Vassylleen up with the rest of the guild first.

W00T! The Shanker Dropped!

I know as incredible as it sounds, I got the Barman Shanker already! 2 bars into level 50, and there it is! w00t!! I also go the Mixologist Tunic and about 5g in random BOP drops. All in all, a sweet run.

We took about 7 successful attempts to get to the bar (and about 25 deaths to send me back to the beginning) but there it was. On the majority of runs it was just Christine and I - all but the last few where another old friend "Heyblinkin" aka Dave Bolton, joined us for some Roguish fun! lol

Kaewhy (64 Undead) Heyblinkin (61 Undead) and Velvyt (50 Troll).

Pics to follow as soon as I get them ready. w00t again!

btw: we each died at least once (and I died 3 times) on the last run... heh heh but it was all worth it now!


~Cheers, Scott

Lie? Me? Never! The Truth is far too much fun!
