Good morning, happy campers.
Well I feel like a total tool. Today someone linked 'Infernal Circle', Master I to one of the channels I lurk in an attempt to sell it. Now, Infernal Circle is the Shadowknight L58 defensive stance. I'm looking through my book to see if I need the upgrade when I notice that...holy crap..I've been using the L40-something defensive stance this entire time. I never knew there was a defensive stance upgrade that I didn't have. HoF. Unrest. Labs. All of it. I tank everything successfully, but how much easier would it all have been had I been using a defensive stance that wasn't two tiers old? How much lost healer mana is that over time? On the other hand, I was probably already one of the top...we'll say 3 sexiest tanks on the server. And that was while using an inferior defensive stance. Think about that. Damn. Now I'll just be ridiculous, right? Well the guy wanted 30p for it so I couldn't actually buy it. I ended up snagging an alkali loam and having an Alchy make me an Adept III which is good enough for now considering what I was using before.
After that little revelation one of my long-lost guild pals logged in. He had never been to Faydwer so I mentored down to him (low 50's-ish) and too him on a quick tour. Threw a group together and tore through CoI. Dinged the guildie and I got a rack of AA as I'd never killed all those named before while they weren't grey so bonus for me. After that we ran through the Mines of Meldrath. My pal got a couple nice upgrades out of the afternoon so that is good. Finally we both ran through the Fae language quest real fast (I didn't realize I hadn't done it). I dropped him off in LFay so that he could get started on all the quest lines there. Good times.
How was your weekend?
