What little time I spend in Norrath lately always seems to end up being spent playing alts. One of the reasons for this is that a buddy of mine just came back to the game after a 3 year break. He tried it when it first came out but quickly decided he didn’t like it. [...]
Been making a bit of progress across the various games I’ve been playing lately. In EQ2 I’ve hit level 75 Inquisitor (and 106 AA) with Kalamaf and level 76 Provisioner with Azeem. Been spending the last couple of days in Fens of Nasthar since I pretty much skipped it earlier and went to Kunzar Jungle. [...]
So Thursday night for ‘raid night’ we actually had a full group online, and since most of us had been wanting to go it was an easy decision to go hit Karnor’s Castle. We’ve all heard that the zone is crappy exp, crappy loot and so on, but off we went anyway, prepared to at [...]
New expansions mean new boats to get to the expansions. Thankfully it’s not like the old days though. Taking a royal caribbean style cruise to get from Butcherblock Mountains to Freeport was a real pain in the ass. I don’t compare it to a cruise because of the comfort and fun, it’s due to the [...]
So last night while flying around the Fens of Nasthar to work on some quests, I accidentally hit the space bar while circling Kurn’s Tower. I didn’t think this would be a problem since when I was in Timorous Deep you couldn’t dismount from the griffons during flight. It turns out that the Sokokar don’t [...]
Whenever I make a new toon I end up having trouble deciding which tradeskill to go with. Kalamaf used to do tailoring but that got boring and not overly useful, so I switched him to woodworking so I can eventually make some invis totems. Turns out you can’t do them until level 49 though, so [...]
The other day I realized that my rent hadn’t been paid in a while for my apt. in South Qeynos, and my alt was out of status to go pay it. Being that it’s so far away I’ve been too lazy to go travel there to take care of it. Back when I did the [...]
Like most people with the release of Kunark, I just had to make myself a Sarnak and since I hadn’t really played an assassin much before that’s what I went with. Leveling is going pretty fast, like it always does when first starting out, he’s up to 12 already with 3AA points and nearing 13 [...]
I’m not sure why but I find that the plate loot from the quests I’ve done so far pretty much suck. Granted I’m wearing all level 62 mastercrafted with 3 pieces of the Nem Anhk set, but I expected there to be at least some upgrades worth considering. Nope, no such luck. Most of the [...]
I’m already noticing quite a trend with the new Kunarkian zones. First it was Teren’s Grasp, and once again, being a quest whore makes this bearable. In order to use the merchants in TG you need to get your faction up to 20k. In order to buy from the faction merchant you need to max [...]
Seems like a lot of us EQ2ers are up in arms over the changes that were made regarding experience gain in Kunark. Now that I’ve read the official reasoning to it, I can understand why they did it, but I still think it was a bonehead move. And this is coming from me, a quest [...]
Last night I hit the Fens of Nasthar, and the quests rolled in, and kept on rolling. It seems this zone doesn’t go so much in quest chains, but more standalone single quests. Problem is, I only had 10 slots empty, and one of the guys in my group had 33 quests from Fens alone. [...]
I’ve now done every quest available from Timorous Deep, 116 of them, and all but 2 from the Kylong Plains which means I’ve done 79 in that zone. Next up will be Fens of Nasthar I think, but so far I don’t even know how to get there. I’ve found the zone to Jarsath Wastes, [...]
If you want to grind writs and missed out on the awesome Sentry grinding in Tenebrous Tangle, there’s a decent spot right at the docks in Kylong Plains. Both good & evil toons can get a writ for Drachnids (evil get Bloodknights, good get Hunters) and the drachnids are just a 15 second run from [...]
