Avatar of War & Growth Down! Zarrakon Bugged out!

Two more contested down for the count! Growth and War down! I'm pretty sure Avatar of Undeath, Anashti Sul will be the next evil Avatar up, but we're still missing a neutral from the current spawn cycle.

Zarrakon is broken encounter which lead to some comedy last night when only a handful of folks could target him. Which kind of puts a halt to gear progression on him until he's fixed.

Want to buy loot rights to Rune Etched Helm! Only three have dropped for Dracos Argent since the release of Shard of Hate the item is heavily wieghted off the easiest named mob in the zone. We can work out a platinum deal or we could possibly trade items that we would normally mute or sell from current raid zones. PST!

Rumor of the Elements of Corruption will be active on Bristlebane Day!

Palace of The Ancient One cleared! Anashti Sul is dead!

Palace of The Ancient One cleared! Another Server first for Dracos Argent!
Anashti Sul is dead to Dracos Argent. Her deity quests are now unlocked on Butcherblock!


Currently, I am just starting the third quest line for Anashti, hopefully I will be completing it tonight!

We then ventured to Ykesha's Inner Stronghold and killed Tyrannus for a server first and I earned yet another Kill shot!

Grats BB and Good luck on the deity quest lines!

Disease, Health and Mischief Down!

Last night was a fun night! we hit up Tomb of the Mad Crusader, clearing it, then headed out to Antonica to kill some Avatars.

Our first stop was to Avatar of Disease, taking him out with Deblin earning Chain Links of Hatred, which is a sick scout BP, Argenteyes won Disease's charm. Then we traveled less than 100 meters away to take down Grummus from the Avatar of Health fight. After a few pulls we killed Grummus and Satarah got the Charm of Health and Crazzel got the Symbol of Growth. A new version of the Staff of Unending Growth, which he has drooled over for the last two expansions. Then we headed over to Rivervale to kill Mischief after a couple of bad starts, we killed him and Vudo walked away with Storm of Healing, which seems to be a nice healing wrist item.

I hope that Avatars continue to drop healing items, last expansion was pretty dry for healing items.

Avatar of Hate, Valor, Tranquity and Storms!

Storms and Tranquility down today, Hate Yesterday and Valor killed on Monday! It's been a nice week for contested content for DA!

Avatar of Growth down

Avatar of Growth dead again! Grats to Cylock on his new BP and Lilya on her charm!

OW!, Oh and a pile of porn!

Ever had one of those days that just start off bad? First things first, I fell out of bed this morning, landing head first, that's on the right side of my head.

The past couple weeks we've had a lot of warm days that melts the snow and has left a nice sheet of ice in our driveway, you know that thick wet ice.

Then I managed to slip and fall on the ice and hit my left side of my head on the car door while opening it, also managing to scrape my knee and elbow on the ice mixed with gravel and during my fall I hurt my chest, head arms and a knee and my neck hurts like hell.

After pulling myself in to the car I sat for a minute to relax and take a deep breath. I started the car and put it in reverse. I am stuck in the Ice, tires are just spinning, after about a couple minutes of going forward and reverse and left and right, I finally found a path out and while in reverse the car starts to slide, stuck again! I manage to find my way out of the ice a bit quicker, but the frustration of the morning is already kicked in. You know when you start yelling at inanimate objects and imaginary people in the sky... The f'bomb was uttered probably about 200 times in a few minute period.

I get to work and sit down and my first customer was one of the local wack jobs, who for some reason hang around Main St. in the morning. This guy was yelling how he got thrown out of the bookstore just down the street. He didn't explain why, but for the next 32 minutes he was very vocal about his fascination with hand cuffs and pepper spray, and uses "non-judicial use" as he called it, he started getting disgusting and I had to ask him to leave.

If he wasn't one of the local crazy guys that wonder the street for no apparent reason I would have called the police.

Lunch time, I put one of the micro-wave burgers in and set it for the recommended two minutes, well about forty seconds in to the cooking I hear a loud POP! The burger literally exploded in side of the micro wave.

Game over man, Game over...



A little Jack Black and Lonely Island... 'Cause it's funny and I need funny right now.

If I didn't need help I wouldn't be f*cking standing here!

So yeah, the day just keeps getting worse, At about 1:50, I decided to go take a quick bio, it was a #1 so I didn't even think about locking the door, I should have. Sorta.

I heard someone come in the store as I was doing my business so I quickly finished up, shook it off and washed my hands. I walked out of the bathroom while drying my hands and there's an older lady, probably in her mid 40's. I ask if she needed any help and yelled, IF I DIDN'T NEED HELP I WOULDN'T BE F*CKING STANDING HERE!

Other than being shocked at her yelling at me there was a pile of porno DVDs sitting on the counter. She claimed that her son, who is a minor, purchased the Adult DVDs at our store and demanded to speak with the owner and all that jazz that unhappy customers do.

Attempting to be as nice as possible I explained to her that we don't sell porno, never have sold porno and pointed out that our store is pretty kid friendly as we sell Video games new and used, Magic the Gathering, D&D and Yu-Gi-Oh! (Our store's website is here! Yes, Gerrod* I will be doing work, eventually today!) Still unconvinced, she demanded that the money be returned, the employee who sold him the porno be fired. Since Gerrod was working the day she claimed her sone bought all the porno, I jokingly said I would gladly fire my boss. I explained that we've never sold porn, never will sell porn, seemingly convinced she finally left with her pile of porn.

I still hurt, but it's not as bad as the time I twisted a testicle...

* Gerrod is the owner of Area 51 the store I work at and is also one of the guild leaders of Dracos Argent. I have raided at work.


A song for Gerrod...

Avatar of Health Down & War down!

"My boner wont go down!"

Avatar of Heath "dies" to DA! Actually we didn't kill the Avatar of Health, we helped Rodcet Nife kill off Diseases' ugly puss ridden giant buddy Grummus, while Health was fighting Disease. It is not an easy encounter, with Butcherblock's lag, but it's one heck of a fight. I don't quite understand why we lost faction with Health, since we were helping him rid Norrath of Disease's presance. Anyway, Crazzel won the charm of Rodcet Nife, the best healer charm. One down seven to go 'till I will be able to get mine. :)

Grummus dead!

We also killed Avatar of War last night, and Argenteyes got some silly caster BP that is like amazing or somthing and his DPS went up bunches.

Valor & Disease Down!

Last night we took Avatar of Disease and Avatar of Valor down with ease and earned some decent loot. I picked up Valor's charm for minimum bid, simply to complete a set so I would get +10 base heal and have an additional lotto heal proc when I am in DPS mode. Also I know I am going to be one of the last of the healers to complete the amazing Avatar of Growth and Avatar of Health charm combo, it's my own fault really. I went nuts early on to get my 6 piece TSO set and have replaced almost every slot in my inventory except for an earring and my Weapons, Trixy Cane and Star of Malice.

From Valor I also picked up a Master 1 Repent for my 80 Templar alt Grouser. Yes, I have two clerics. Why? Grouser who is a Sarnak was originally intended to become the Inquisitor for DA and was named Curmudgeon. Due to time constraints it would have been easier to betray and level Grump than Curmudgeon.

Sometime in October of last year I got a visit from a GM while sitting at the broker, some one Butcherblock petitioned the characters name as "a sexually offensive act" and when it means an "irritable and complaining person". I was more amused than anything that some one thought it was offensive and a GM bought it, I picked Grouser as Curmudgeon was hard for some to spell anyway.

Down, Down, Down we go, no where to stop...
I finally decided it was time to buy the Ethernaught's collection for both characters, I figured that I could get away spending at least 500 plat and had a nice chunk left over. So I bought two sets at roughly 180 each. After that I decided to go hunting for blue shinies, and I picked up quite a few, but I needed a bunch more and even though most blue shinies are pretty plain jane my completest addiction kicked in and I kept spending platinum until I was down to a meager 10 plat on each toon.
