Well had a pretty busy weekend it turned out. Had spent the last week or so being kill by nearly everything he attacked and generally losing more xp than he gained.
Friday evening - This all changed thanks to Phowder and her help. Was passing through Razad when I saw she was there and asked for her help with a couple of quests. As usual she gladly obliged (one thing about Storms of Vengeance as a guild, theywill always offer to help) and I finally managed to finish killing off crazed wanderers and the mountain men with her help.
As she disappeared off to get the panther mask, rejecting all offers of help from myself, I got into a general xp group on the outskirts of Raz Inkur. On the whole this went well, but we could have done a lot better had we been more organised. The group broke up fairly quickly but I had achieved my aim and had started to get experience again.
On Saturday, while at Razad I saw a group of guildmates in the Plains of Anguish and immediatly got myself an invite. This was the best thing I could have done.
Over Saturday and Sunday (yes, a group that survived people logging off overnight!!!!!!) We managed to complete nearly all of the quests within the Plains of Anguish.
One other major thing we did was all of us got to the last stage of the Hatred Items quest. This is a series of quests that once completed gives an heroic item. The item is dependant upon your class with the Skeleton illusion remaining the same between them.
As the last part involves a drop from a named troll in Old Targonor, who only drops one update at a time, we will be heading back there in the next week or so to get each of us the update. Hephastius got an amazing shield from this, cannot wait to get the mask for Gorat.
During this time we also visited two dungeons I had not been to before, Greystone and Xennumet. Both very different and both look great. Its a shame that my screenshots didnt seem to come over to curse as I would have liked to show these.
Greystone is full of undead in the Berenaid Hills and was very nasty.with lots of multple 4 and 5 dot mobs. Need to head back there to look at the weapons quests that are in there as they are supposed to be very good.
Xennumet is a very different dungeon to Greytone. You have to follow the questline from the gnomes in the Dragons Backbone to get an entry key, alhotugh only ne grp member needs this, its still worth doing because of the shoulder item given as a reward.
The dungeon itself appears to have been underwater at one time and has lots of names in there. The main mobs inside are 20 or 30 foot tall squid headed type creatures. If you have played D&D and know what an Illithid or Mind Flayer is, you have the right type of creature.
Again another fun dungeon and with the great people I went with, it was a great exploration. Also met a future guild member there called Zzomnie. Not sure if he was just impressed with us as a grp or just happy to find a guild that has enough people in to form a grp with.
Damn fine weekend playing and got from lvl 43 to 45 with these adventures. Nice.
