[EQL] Ding – 50

It actually happened a few days ago now – but I reached level 50 on my first three classes in EverQuest. The combination? A Bard, Paladin, and Rogue. Except I wasn’t quite feeling the synergy between those characters so as soon as I hit 50 (which happened in Plane of Hate, as it were, love that zone) I decided to go back to level 10 and level up a new combination of characters.

I love playing the Paladin, and I also love playing the Rogue, but I am not in love with the bard. I decided to swap the bard for an Enchanter, and start over again. It feels like Enchanters can do everything my Bard can do – but better.

So now I’m level 36, attempting to level up again.

It’s really not the Enchanters fault. Their charm spell is just very over powered. Especially if you upgrade it at all with motes. Even upgraded, my Bard’s charm spell lasts for less than 2 minutes. That’s a lot of time spent re-casting charm.

I did wander around Hate quite a bit, earned a lot of class gear that I was able to pass down to my character so that when I do get the urge to play someone else (because of course I will) that I’ll be ready. I also upgraded my weapon to be 10/10 which is the max rank you can upgrade items (for now).

Next up? Crafting.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up (Week 32 2026)

What do you know, last week was not a bad week for making gold! It’s amazing what happens when you actually log in and post your auctions. Of course at the time of this post now I’ve actually forgotten to do it for a few days (again) but hey that’s alright.

There was a huge patch yesterday – I’m not even sure what it was about. I did log in to a cinematic playing, I didn’t watch it though. I’ll catch it another time, when I can focus on it. I did also have a lot of housing dye in my mailbox. No idea what that was about, either.

I sold a handful of expensive recipes which accounted for most of the gold earned this week. I also sold a swift springstrider (mount) and some plate transmog. Nothing very expensive in those categories, but since I sell across 10 servers, it adds up.

I did also restock my auction house characters, it was well past time. I am very slowly creeping towards my 100k liquid (again) – right now I believe I’m sitting at 98,000,000. I do need to put some gold towards game time on my 2nd account, but I’m hoping I can earn a bit more first before that happens. We’ll just have to see next week!

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[EQL] A Waiting Game

I learned yesterday that the reduced experience you get when playing with others in EverQuest Legends is unintentional – and then I was excited, because it sounded like it was going to be fixed at the next update, which we all assumed would be Tuesday, August 11th.

Except then they made this announcement.

Bi-weekly schedule is fine, but I was really counting on them fixing this glitch. It just doesn’t feel good to earn significantly less experience in a group than by yourself. In fact it actively discourages me from grouping with my partner, because I know we could both be earning so much more if we played apart.

So for now, I’ll continue to wait.

[EQL] Look Ma! 46!

At level 46 you are finally allowed into the planes and so of course I immediately grouped up with the husband (who hit 50 earlier on in the day) and off we went.

The zones were HARD, but supposedly we’re equal to 6 players, even though it sure didn’t feel like it.

I also somehow accidentally spent 150 motes upgrading a level 40+ bard charm spell that I did NOT mean to upgrade quite so much. That used up ALL of my T1 motes, and while I can charm up to 58 now which is pretty neat, it was NOT what I had intended on doing with those motes.

I also decided to (once again) change my class. I’m dropping bard to grab enchanter. I also decided why not level up druid, since I hadn’t before and I want the ports / rituals. Yes, this puts me right back down at level 10, but I feel like that is perfectly fine as long as I’ve got a few max level when the next expansion comes out, which should be sometime this winter. Anyway. We’ll see how it goes.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[WO] Another day, Another Rift

Yesterday there was a rift on the independence server, so I grabbed my Fo priest, some clay, some colossus bricks and made my way over. I spent a few hours attaching bricks for some rift points and goodies, and then tried to earn at least 20 points so it would count for Destinations Unknown. I am now 1/10th of the way through.

While I was doing the rift, I had a thought. I really prefer to do rifts as a Libila priest. So. What if I temporarily converted Stargrace and turned her into one. When I look at destination unknown there is only 1 item on that list that she could not do as a priest, and she is already 74% through it. My thought is that I will grind out the remaining ‘imp an item’ category, and then for the rest of the journal entry, work on being a priest of Libila.

Now this might sound completely crazy, but I can always drop priesthood if I’m not a fan or if there’s some dire reason why I can’t do it. I’ve played a priest main before, and if I have to grind out 100 rifts, I do think I’d rather do it as a priest.

Anyway, this was just a thought I had. Whether or not it will actually come to fruition, I have no idea. I would ideally need to finish that ‘imp items’ category first. Priests cannot improve items at all.

10 Rifts down, and 90 yet to go..

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
