How Did you Spend your Weekend?

This weekend was pretty good as far as getting stuff done goes. Little Willamina the ranger is sitting at 40% into level 77, so she’s inching her way up there. I have a lot of gear stored up for when she finally hits 80, as well as a fabled shield from Outer Stronghold. It procs a dps buff and since rangers are typically using their bow, it will make a good pair with a main hand weapon and her mythical. She has set up a little room in Baubleshire, and I’ve been decorating slowly. What a change the new L&L quests have made, she has 20 of them completed so far which is more then any other character I have simply because I’ve never really been bothered to pick up the books in the past. Vampire will still have to be quested, but the rest are fantastic.

The ranger managed to complete all of the Everfrost instances, and she’s been through the lavastorm ones as well. She has been to CoA in Commonlands, but still needs the two others. I’ve also taken her to Evernight Abby, Obelisk of Ahkzul, and Anchor of Bazzul so it’s easy to see where the experience is coming from. Hamal crafted her three pieces of T1 void armor last night that I’ve added to the collection of ‘things I can wear some day’ and I’ve been working the three factions she eventually needs for her epic. If all goes well, in two weeks she will be sporting her mythical.

The ranger is completely different from the classes I typically play, which is probably why I enjoy it so much. I love being ranged and I’m used to it simply because of playing mages and healers. I love being able to actually DPS (granted my enchanters and bards do their fair share but it’s simply not the same) and I’ve got attacks that hit for more then I’ve ever personally been able to hit for before (sniper shot is hitting for 25k or so when it crits) which is a lot for me. Sure, it’s not that impressive when you consider an assassin and their skills, but it’s still neat.

Most of the weekend was spent in EQ2 with some time devoted to Wizard 101 too. This week is going to end up being fairly hectic but I should still manage to get my daily posts done here.

How did you spend your weekend? Be it in Norrath or some other game (or no game at all, maybe you were busy with family going ons?) I want to know, so post in the comments section!

Remember, happy gaming no matter where you are, and I’ll see you in Norrath.
