Jan 8th

Up early with the intention of playing but after an hour of not getting anything done I logged and did some work instead. Logged on again late afternoon and sorted out Biffars bank which is full of crap. Got almost 2 backpacks full of stuff for BiC so I am seriously thinking of starting it purely to give me something to do apart from tradeskills. Was good to delete a lot of the crap as its made a lot of space ready for finishing my baking. Misty Thicket picnics here I come! Before raiding hooked up with Limpie and Winenose for a bit of PoF C2 action. In just over an hour got 4 AA so I was happy.

The raids tonight were a cracker with us going for Yar`Lir the Matriarch first so that Uriella could get the eye. Flawless kill if it wasn't for one of us (cough Limpie) messing about with Grel Strongboom. Now the mob himself isnt something we should have had problems with but its the second part of his name "Strongboom" that kinda gives away his secret weapons. Basically he has a bunch of Goblins with him that run amongst us and explode. It was funny but the officers didnt really appreciate the fact half the raid was killed being buffless and AFK. Yar'Lir died in short time and dropped junk (damit I must upgrade my face as I have it from this mob!).

Next was Vishimtar the Fallen and I was really hoping that Eboola would get a raid invite so she could get in the expedition in case a Dragonkiller dropped. Wasn't to be which at the time upset me a bit because I had asked Meemers and made it cleare what I was trying to do. Anyway it didn't drop so no big deal but there were spots in the raid and it would have upset me if it had dropped. However 6 upgrades in 48 hours for Eboola so I shouldn't complain.

Off to Dreadspire and first in line was Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw. Thank god I have the letter of invitation as getting there is now so much easier. No lagging out and missing the elevated ramps or bumping into that damned named spider. Wham bam and one dead boss.

Next was Sanguimanus the Redfang who went down in record time. I got the blocker so thats me complete now, just need to hand the damn things in now as thats the hard part. I am told by Karinthia that I can hand them in using DA run and invis but I am not convinced, Im just not confident of the layout and knowing me I would run the wrong way and die horribily somewhere. Better to wait for a group to go do it.

Now is it just me but man I really dont understand the Three Sisters Althea, Brenda and Christine event. Anyway we were too slow doing it the first time so the event reset. However second time around was fine and we won. Two belts dropped and having been told that my belt was weak I decided to bid. Ended up winning one for 17dkp which is ok though I am now down to about 30, this will be enough though for a wrist or face if one drops which are my next purchases. What with moving a few augs around yesterday will be interesting to see what my new mana total will be. Also I really must put a decent aug in my BP hence the desire now to start BiC.

Last on the list was Hatchet the Torturerwhich I must admit is a fun event which I am beginning to like. Since I out the new emotes into my EQWatcher this event is actually quite easy. So easy in fact that Meemers is now fining people who miss emotes and cause a wipe, hence poor old Sezas was fined 3dkp. Still a quick recovery and he died on 2nd attempt.

After raid I camped at zone in as I guess we go after Tris first thing tommorrow and I have to go via the bike shop and get my bike fixed. What a great night of raiding though with 5 top mobs killed and loots galore.
