Amazing Server Wide Quest

I’m on my way out the door to buy a new video card (nothing wrong with the old one, but it’s a 7600 and I’d like something new just for fun) – in the mean time though, I spent ALL morning working on the server wide live event (because I’m not sure when it poofs) to get some pretty amazing rewards and follow a spectacular story line. I don’t want to ruin the story because it has to do with the murder mystery going on and involves the void beasts and that whole incident. If you haven’t done this quest yet, I HIGHLY suggest getting to it, check to see if your server has unlocked the bonechips yet. The evil side on Najena is only 80% complete last I checked, but the Qeynos side has finished theirs. 

The quest is made up of over 42 sections from start to finish – and it makes you travel all over to figure out the mystery. The rewards may not be worth it to the average player, but to me they were better then any money. The first reward is food that lasts for 3 hours and gives you 15% bonus experience to COMBAT only. Sort of useless when the food is level 80 and that’s the character I did this quest on. Anyhow, second quest rewards a house item and some gear – the basket of berries. The third quest rewards the staff pictured above, and it has a really awesome particle effect. The fourth quest rewarded the talisman that can just barely be seen resting on my bench. 

These items are all gear as well, but you can right click like the heritage quests out there and turn them into house items. I did the quest on Goudia, which was a bad idea I should have done it on one of my mains instead. The quest really is long, so I haven’t decided if I’m going to do it on everyone yet, or leave it at that. 

More postings about it and a few details later, for now, it’s time to go shopping!

Housing Interview – In Italian!

For those who may have missed it, I was interviewed about housing in EQ2 (and my specific role in decorating other people’s homes) for Ars Ludica which is an Italian site. They did a wonderful job and asked some fantastic questions even with the language differences. The interview will be coming out in english but for now if you want to read it and check out the screen shots I sent in, you can find it here.

Ruins of Varsoon – Chamber of Immortality

I had a lot of fun today roaming through the Ruins of Varsoon in a roleplay group – that’s right, it does happen on servers that are not flagged as rp, go figure. Though the people involved were friends of mine, it was still a blast. We didn’t get a whole lot of loot, but we did get the two designated masters from the zone itself. 

I love mentoring and going to these smaller zones. There’s still so much character to them, and I think a lot of people just skip by, eager to get their next level and move one step closer to end game. I can see the appeal too, but after leveling so many characters to end game, it’s sort of nice to take my time and meander through areas, and actually LOOK at them and experience them. 

Hopefully I’ll get more opportunities like this in the future.

Explination on Beckett MOG’s House Item

Here’s the ‘official’ word on the Beckett MOG in-game (EQ2) house items since I was being asked about them. Remember if you want to see what it actually looks like, it’s posted here in this post. I’ll more then likely be hosting a contest for players that involves some housing aspects, and giving away one of the codes for the in-game item – will post once I have a few more details!
