It was all a Trixy (Cane of Trickery)!

So Avatar of War was up yesterday, we killed him #69 (woo) Avatar in a row. The Trixy Cane of Trickery dropped, which has the coolest game graphic (and some pretty cool abilities), other than the Inquisitor Mythical. I really like the item, in fact I bid on the item and won the item but after some officer discussion it was deemed more useful to another class and I was asked to rescind my bid. I wasn't happy about it at first I almost said no. But after promise of sexual favors, souls and the naming of a first born child I decided it was better for the raid as a whole. Maybe next time!

The Race of the (Protectors) Realm.

Raiding T8 is getting so f'in boring, to spice up raiding PR (which now drops masters from 71+ on Smart loot.) we decided to split the raid up to run two groups in each instance, we both finished under 20 minutes.

The raid that I was in lost the race, but not by much. I blame Crazzel for not getting the shard fast enough, plus Sequel went link dead which stalled us up a bit. We got 5 smart loot masters - Deblin got Dispatched, which the raid collectivly cheered. Two Vyx Crest lockets (which went for min dkp and one to alt) last week I paid max dkp because up until last week, a I think total of three dropped for us since the begining of the expansion. We all walked away with over 12 pp each and I think we fully equipped two mage alts!

Trakanon's a joke.

At one time Trak was one of my favorite instanced encounters, now he's a complete joke. Even becoming the hour glass I parsed 1.9k dps on him, I am sure I would have broken 2.2k if I didn't become the hourglass.

I am almost a master!

I am almost fully mastered out, I lack Smite Corruption a level 71 spell, if anyone has it I'll pay up to 40pp for it.

The Festival of the Dead... Next week!

One of my favorite times of year in Norrath is the Halloween event: The Festival of the Dead, not because of the fun events, but because of my memories of a few years back during the first Festival of the Dead.

I wanted to know how foolish people were, to see if people would buy the Halloween decorations off the Broker instead of the vendor. After the patch I purchased a handful of each of the decorations spending about 10 gold, I put them up on the broker for about 10g each. As I watched them sell, and sell I would rush back to the vendor to grab more, refill the stock and placing them on the broker. I made a good 20 platinum before people caught on to the fact that they could spend 24 silver to buy them.

Avatar of Flames Down.

So we killed Avatar of Flames this morning, with a less than optimal raid force, which makes Avatar kills really challenging and fun, Still getting lots of duplicate loot, 68 Avatar kills and still 10+ items on the loot table not discovered is kinda irritating, I hope they fix the loot in TSO so it is a little more evenly spread out.

I am going to go through and tag all of my blog posts today. I am not a wiz with blogs but one of my friends said that tagging my posts will allow better placement in some search engines, while I don't really care how many visitors I get, it would be cool to see if I get in to search engines.

Avatar kills are a blur these days! LU49 & Guild Halls

We've killed a few Avatars since my last post, the ones that I remember are Mischief and Justice (which I wish I could forget). Mischief died Tuesday and another pair of purple pants dropped. Shitty.

On Justice, last night we actually had Immortalis trading pulls with us, which was exciting and bad at the same time! Exciting, while I am not a big fan of a few of loud mouth jerks in thier guild, I am not going to deny that they have some good players.

A mixture of server lag, having 3 guilds in the area, random stupidity and lack of the right classes made it look like it was the first time we pulled him. While it wasn't near our record 72 minute long drunken fight (or our 17 minute on the ball no death fight) it was still 40 minutes of irritation just to see the Pauldrons of Good and Evil, for the fourth time, there are still 15+ items from the avatar loot table that we have not been disco'd on our server. We get HORRID luck when it comes to the good drops.

LU49 had a lot of changes and added guild halls which is kinda neat. I dumped 20million personal status in the guild hall and the leaders set everyone up as trusties to goof around with things for a week before they assign decorators to the hall... Some of the Amenities, Gaurds and Brokers have ended up in the oddest places, some with odd names and our Ratongas and Scouts are having way too much fun in the guild hall setting traps and hiding, and renaming important amenities.

The other major change in LU49 I love is casting buffs on the run, nothing annoys me more than havin to stand still just to buff players, especially the scouts.

A little bit late but better than never... Ethereal Mist Gauntlets!!

I finally got them!

We killed three Avatars killed since my last post... Storms, War and Below... Nothing that great dropped from them. :(
