Busy EQ weekend for me

Friday night I logged in and before I could even get to my first kite spot Bonecollector sent me a tell asking if I was ready to do the CS run. "Sure" I told him ! We proceeded through EW to the entrance of Khael. Being 37 at the time I was more than a little concerned about see invis mobs being a problem. Bone assured me that it wouldn't be one, and if there were any see invis mobs that he could solo them "necros are so over powered"
We made the Kael run without any difficulty and then it was on to Wakening lands. Now I hadn't been in WL in many years. I had forgotten how over grown it was. I kept working working my track button and everything was as red as can be. but we managed to make it through.
The Skyshrine run didn't worry me as badly and we made it to the pot portal without to much trouble. Just like that I had the tooth of the Cobalt Scar in my bag and would be set for the rest of my time in Velious.
A big thanks for helping me with this goes out to my friend Bonecollector. That is definitely A load off my mind.
After that run it was on to grinding. I managed to do a little work at the Tizmak caves and a few Giants from time to time. That was all it took to finally ding 38. Thank god I feel like I have been stuck in 37 for an eon ! I did my usualy celebratory port for free and buff newbees late friday night and got all setup for my saturday morning run.
Saturday I decided to start out trying Walrus and Ulthork's again. I can quad them but my mana pool is just a smidge light still. "
To many resists to make it effective". Luckily i got a "Fatty Walrus Meat" to drop off my quad and was able to run over to Iceclad and pick up some new sleeves "
Cougarskin Sleeves"
After the armor upgrade I headed back to Thurgadin to do a little banking and med up. I wanted to try giants in the great divide just to see if they would be quadable. As I exited the zone i saw a /ooc from Tissamo asking if anyone was working on Giant faction.
He wanted to leach a little faction. I told him what I was planning and invited him along. We headed over to the spires and proceeded to just trash the living crap out of every giant and wolf we could find. I even managed to get the
Blood Wolf Harness for the
Kromrif Military Leggings. We used the standard snare / Flame Lick method. I kept agro and he would be a walking dot behind the mob.
Eventually after a few hours we went and checked faction. "Finding the turn in mob for the armor quests was a bit of a pain" and Tiss managed to get up to kindly. "Im indifferent" A big thanks to Whitebird who also came over and helped out a bit.
Next it was on to leveling. I decided to do the Cave Kodiaks. mostly due to Tizmaks finally greening out at 38. The kodiaks are an easy kite as long as you know that you are
GOING to get hit once or twice while gathering them up. The method I prefer is to go into one of the caves
WITH INVIS UP. pass 4 kodiaks and then break invis. as the first agros you. run back to the cave entrance gathering the others along the way. Once you are outside just snare them and begin your quad ! It took the remainder of the day but I did manage to Ding 39 !
Sunday it was a day to do a little exploring and to pick up all my 39 spells. I did some porting and went back to EW to try the Ulthorks and walruses. "
still to many resists" I even tried the smaller Rygor camp that has 5 Rygors in it. That was a big mistake as it deleveled me for a min. Those suckers move like greased lightning. the first mob resisted and i couldn't get enough space to clear it. So they are a no go for a bit. Sunday night it was back to the Kodiaks and safty. I managed to do about 1/2 of 39 in a few hours. I think i should hit 40 without to much trouble on the Kodiaks then we will give eastern wastes 1 more go.
Till next time
