Good morning, happy campers.
Lots of playtime this weekend as the wife caught herself a minor MySims addiction. *rubs hands together evilly*
Started out in Jarsath Wastes. Knocked out every last solo quest and finally scored my Worker's Sledgemallet. Oh the nostalgia. This also marked the conclusion of SOLO-QUESTAPALOOZA! Every single solo-marked quest in RoK has been beaten. Starting at 70 at release, this left me just shy of 80 (about 20% into 79). Not too shabby.
Solo questing done, it was time to check out some of these dungeons. First I did Charasis: Vault of Eternal Sleep. Fun stuff. The pit traps were quite frustrating, but once you noodled out their locations they were easy enough to avoid. Knocked out the Keepers of Dreams and Nightmares, as well as the Guardian (dropped the plate Sanctification helmet for me!). Got stuck on the final guy though (Steve the Phylactery Keeper was his name, I think). We had two rooters to handle the attendants during the fight, but our necro was using some soul siphon life thing AE that kept breaking the roots. After a few deaths we decided to call it.
Later on I get invited to tank Crypt of Agony. /Getting/ to the crypt was a bigger challenge than the crypt itself. Jus the worst luck. Everyone is invis, but forgets about the see invis frog pather who sees us in the middle of the mezzanine frog platform - wipe. Everyone is invis, walking up the path to the crypt when the pathing golem named who sees invis spawns - wipe. Everyone is standing right at the door at the top of the platform just waiting on one person to catch up, the big static golem named up there pops - wipe. It was uncanny. Anyway through much effort and patience we finally got everyone in there. Once inside it was pretty smooth sailing. No great loot drops. Wooden chests from every named. Worked our way to the last guy with very little effort. Then came the last guy. He demolished us. No way around it. The healer couldn't keep up. I couldn't lifetap fast enough. He'd hit me with a good 10 second stun during which I couldn't taunt or cast. 3 wipes later and we threw in the towel.
So 2 instances, 2 failures on the final guy in the zone. I needed to make myself feel better so I got involved in a Castle Mistmoore group to advance Soulfire. Knocked out a few nameds and got the book from the basement. Got 3 of the pages I needed before the group decided to split up. Afterwards I joined in on a Fire & Ice raid. Main tanked it and cleaned up. Drayek killed me with his dumb 'knock you back into the ice which is an instant death lol' attack. Aside from that it was all smooth sailing.
So good times all around. How was your long weekend?
