Well I must apologize for my aweful posting pattern over the weekend. It seems I’ve fallen into the habit of posting once every other day and that’s not my style! I really love to post multiple times a day or at least once. So I will do my best to meet my standards by starting today off with an Adventure Log to catch you all up on what Delbert has been doing!
In my last Adventure Log you read about my adventures in Fallen Gate. I thought that would be the highlight of the week but I was most definitely wrong! I started off by logging in and doing my usual broadcast that I’m LFG to do whatever. Usually this turns up nothing and I just move along and solo quests at my own leisure. But today I found that the group I went with to Fallen Gate had some members forming for Stormhold and they wanted my Brigand skills! I was glad that I had done well enough to be asked back another day. Stormhold, as most of you know if you’re reading this, is a little dungeon in the eastern mountains of Antonica. Once you enter you basically get the idea that this place will be full of undead and undead-ish creatures. I spent about 3 hours there and gained nearly two levels completing various quests and going as deep as you can go in the place. One thing that somewhat bugged me though is that some people don’t realize that there’s players like me who may be good at my class and appear to be a veteran but… in reality have no clue where to go. So a lot of the time I felt like I was getting lost as they would sprint through the halls of the dungeon looking for named mobs. Eventually I just autofollowed someone as to not get lost. But that aside I had a great time and made some great experience.
Now the highlight of this Adventure Log is Crushbone. Located in Faydwer, duh!, the Crushbone Clan Keep is nostalgic for anyone who played EQ1. Like most things in EQ2 it’s layed out nothing like the original was but yet keeps a few “details” that will still make you go “oh hey there’s that thingy over there!”. In a previous log I mentioned how Delbert went to Faydwer and completed many of the chain quests leading to the Keep. That really payed off because I was the only one who had about 4-5 quests to complete in the place and that yielded a lot of exp. The best part of the Keep though had to be the eye candy. The place is so well done! What a difference between dungeons that have been around for years and ones that are newer. I can’t wait to see what some of the higher levels dungeons like Unrest look like! In addition to the awe factor and exp I was able to loot a Legendary Dagger (nothing special, but a major upgrade) from the Crushbone Prophet. This will most likely last until level 30 at which point it’s my goal to buy mastercrafted weapons.
Well that’s all for now! I will most likely make another post tonight to make up for my lack of posting lately. Until then!
