Terenas - Gearing up 5/28 and 5/30

[Kevin]

Kosch also made out with Boots and Gauntlets of Elements.

But poor Xarhud didn't get the pants or shoulders.


And father flame is hard to do when Treesh disconnects, I get a 10 to 15 second freeze up and several others lag out. I think Conc was the only person there who didn't have a connection issue so yeah, we wiped but we recovered.


Also I'll never manage to walk Marn from the door in back to the crystal without popping an egg again, don't expect me to be able to do that and bring someone who can stealth along to do it in the future. :)


Was a good night. The spider still won't cough up my boots, which I guess I actually will need to progress now (well I've got ogre beads and other crap to do still) but I may have to poke for more Baron runs. The item list still shows many pantsless people too and since we can do 45 minute runs with several group configs now we know a run for pants won't take too long (and of course you don't have to go that quickly if no one needs the quest).

We've also got Strat live runs down to around an hour as well and the least 2 runs we did netted 7 orbs (though I still have to send two of those on to the bank). So it shouldn't be too horrible to get Xarhud his gloves. Or if nothing else I'm thinking about just letting him take and sell all the orbs from a run or two to fund the purchase of the damn things. :) But as you guys know I'm always quite willing to go someplace I have no need to go.


As far as the Dungeon 2 set progress, since Fazuul got the 45 minute done with Keepers before our run last night that just leaves Keshoga, Xarhud (GIB gloves Galford!) a couple other of Mists alts and some of our newer 60's who might not even have the belt and gloves steps done (forgive me if I lost track of anyone else!). So progress has been pretty good there. We'll need some scholo runs to get Dark runes for people for the upgrades as well, but with the number of people still needing the hat I'm sure there is still interest in that. Marn still has a blood in the bank so easy summon shot of Kirtonis for Valor boots if I go along. I know we still need UBRS runs for chest pieces, blood for some, and other goodies. We'll need some of those runs for the upgrade quests as well. And UBRS runs will continue to get easier and easier as we get more and more geared, those minor upgrades from ZG, AQ20, and the stuff that some of us might start seeing from MC, and of course the upgrades that our newer 60's and alts get with some of the blues just make it simpler to do. We almost did it with 7 the other day (heck we would have done it with one more shot at him I think) so that is getting easier to accomplish. I'd still like to keep the Dungeon 2 set progess focused on those who are farthest behind if we can. So getting the rest of the T1 pieces people need or getting the rest of the 45 minute runs done. But no objections to progressing farther if we have the people to do it. :)

I'm quite pleased and proud of all the help that people who have a lot of this stuff done and who don't need anything from some of these instances are providing.


But as has been mentioned to me, people are willing to help out, but they need to know what people need help with. We have had a a couple of nights where we have had 10 L60's on and I'm sure if we poked a few of the Keepers for help many would join us. So we are big enough that we can run UBRS spontaneously now. Which means most 5 mans aren't a problem either. Scholo and LBRS are the only ones that will really take a large chunk of time to 5 man since both Strats can be done in an hour or so (though live can take longer depending on what you skip. Fras adds 15 minutes or so with the extra pulls and the Canon master can add another 15 minutes or so as well). I'm not sure where we have a full clear of Scholo (minus Jandice) down to, but there is just a fair bit of distance to have to move in that instance you can only make it so fast. I think with the right group (need someone how can do real AoE) we could even get an emperor run in BRD done in about an hour and a half too.

So again, try not to be like me, and if you have something you want to get done check the online list any night of the week and ask people. It's also worth checking Stormrage to see if a few of us that play there might want to pop over to help out as well. I'm on there at times just doing some farming for crafting mats and such (getting ore on that server is becoming very difficult with the number of farmers) and if you pop over I could very likey not be tied up. Mav is potentially the same way, could be on an alt over there but more than willing to jump on Keshoga to fill out a group, and Mav is easy to find, just do a /who Kesh to hunt up his alts. :)

It's nice to have a solid little PvE horde guild.:)
