Fun in Dreadspire 

Fun in Dreadspire

Well it's been a quiet week or so as Susie has been visiting me in Dublin so I haven't had much chance to play. However last night we did Dreadspire and I had a chance to play a bit in the afternoon before raid started so a few things got done.

First of all Eboola got as far as 275 in Making Poison which cost about 5k so very happy with that. Will have to start farming some stuff to max her out.

I had a chat with Damide and discussed about changing mains. I said that I would happily put the request on hold as the cleric turnout at the moment looks very weak. No good me changing mains if the guild suffers, so I said that I would remain playing Biffar but would appreciate it if I don't get grief about buying items for Eboola as Biffar doesn't need that many upgrades.

Saying that though I went on a spending spree for Biffar and purchased a couple of nice items.

Invocation of Eternity
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE
Required level of 70.
WT: 0.3 Size: TINY
Class: CLR DRU SHM
Race: ALL

Which for those who don't know is the cleric epic 2.5 which adds the following to the stats...

AC: 10
STR: +10 DEX: +10 STA: +10 WIS: +10 AGI: +10 HP: +30 MANA: +30
SV FIRE: +5 SV DISEASE: +5 SV MAGIC: +5 SV POISON: +5
Regeneration: +3 Mana Regeneration: +3
Focus: Empowerment of Shadows
Description:
1: Decrease Spell/Bash Hate by 8%
2: Limit: Max Level(70)
3: Limit: Effect(Hitpoints allowed)
4: Limit: Target(AE PC v1 excluded)
5: Limit: Target(PB AE excluded)
6: Limit: Target(Targeted AE excluded)

I will endeavour to do the handin to Eric Von Schnelling and post the renewed stats. I must admit I went a little crazy and blew 30dkp on this but considering I have hardly seen any of these drop I thought it was well worth it and the focus is sweet. Also now that I will keep Biffar as my main I really should buy a few things for him, would be nice to hit the 13k mana unbuffed. I also have decided to finish Biffar's BiC (see the new section for quests) as this will make a very sweet aug for my new BP (see below).

Also I bought Biffar one of these...

Last Blood
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE AUGMENTATION
Augmentation type: 12
This item can be used in tradeskills.
WT: 0.2 Size: SMALL
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

Now this will eventually make a very nice Breastplate as it seems that BP's are very rare and this is by far the cheapest way to make one (at least cheapest in dkp). The BP when it is made should look something like this though I will use BiC instead of the Sparkling Nest Ornament...

Grandmaster's Stormguard Cuirass (Augmented)
MAGIC ITEM NO DROP
Slot: CHEST
AC: 144
STR: +26 DEX: +19 STA: +25 CHA: +19
WIS: +23 INT: +24 AGI: +25 HP: +415
MANA: +415 ENDUR: +415 SV FIRE: +23 SV DISEASE: +23
SV COLD: +28 SV MAGIC: +28 SV POISON: +28
Regeneration: +2
Mana regeneration: +3
Damage shield: +3
Avoidance: 9 Spell shield: +2% Stun resist: +2% Dot shielding: +2%
Recommended level of 70.
Required level of 70.
Focus Effect: Dragon Health
WT: 5.1 Size: LARGE
Class: WAR CLR PAL
Race: DWF
Slot 1, type 7: Sparkling Nest Ornament
Slot 2, type 11: Grandmaster's Chest Symbol of Below
Slot 3, type 12: Last Blood of the Healer

Of course the main problem here is having the Smithing Skill at 300 as the trivials for these are 338 or something like that. Apparently there is a dwarf on the server who will do the combines but would be kinda cool if I did them myself. As for skilling up I guess I need to get farming for Shadowscream Armour and then farm Piles of Gravel to make the Master's Stormguard Armour. Then got to do a load of farming of Metalic Drake Scales as they are used in pretty copious amounts. Still it will give me even more to do with Biffar out of raid times so it should be fun, just need to get hold of a decent tank to borrow. It's not as though I NEED a new BP, just would be nice to get one and this seems to merge a lot of quests into one much larger one.

My last loot for the night was one I have been dying to get for Eboola cause I am a sucker for illusions...

So all in all a very rewarding evening.

Last but not least Marratook has voluntered to run some Saturday raids in CoA now that the guild no longer go there, This will be a great chance for me to get a Globe for Eboola and to maybe get some Augments as we are doing Aug runs as well. So much to do :) In fact if this turns out to be the case then pretty much wouldn't switch mains. Least I know how to raid with Biffar :)
