Haunted mansions, guilds, and claymore – oh my!

I finished off the haunted mansion in Loping Plains twice – which allowed me to finally pick up the vampire Lore and Legend book that’s behind the painting at the top of the stairs. The best part of doing these quests is that one of the rewards is a 10 charge recipe for vampiric mirrors, which I use constantly in my houses and the Norrathian Museum I still have in the works. I also completed the haunted house in North Qeynos, which appears to be a one-time only type of quest this year. I was pretty sure in previous years this was repeatable, maybe I’m mistaken.

The most interesting part of yesterday is that Torrent Knights has found itself another guild member. While I never intended to actually lead a proper guild, I am happy that we’re getting a few new members. It always comes with a word of warning, as I am not exactly the same in game as I am on this web site and I always make sure everyone is aware of my nomadic gaming life style, and anything that comes with that. So far it seems to be working out fairly well. I don’t run the guild as a typical guild, it’s exceptionally casual and laid back. Those who don’t feel like they fit in are welcome to stay until they find themselves another home; thankfully it’s never come to that.

The remainder of my time in game was spent working on my claymore quest chain which is still a significant upgrade to my mystic due to the amount that it increases wards by. I’m looking forward to adventuring through Barren Sky today and trying to push the quest further. So far I am on quest 13, I believe there are 29 or so to the series. At least I managed to get the Sanctum of the Scaleborn portion complete, that was always the most difficult part when I was working on it before.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday no matter where you find yourself. Happy gaming!
