Visiting Sentinel’s Fate #EQ2 #EverQuest2

EQ2_000248It’s no surprise that I love running through older content, no matter what character I use. There’s just something about it that I find refreshing. Perhaps it’s the fact that the zones are typically less crowded (the exception lately being the areas that the new 85 heroics start at) or the neat stories I come across, or the memories of completing the zones back when they were much more difficult.

My second account has been around for years now, but until recently I never bothered to level anything up on it. I had a 77 fury who had patiently been waiting for me to start boxing again, and since rediscovering the account, start again I have. The account now has a 95 fury, 95 beastlord, 87 paladin (hopefully my next 95) and a level 30 coercer (that I may delete and start with a different mage, I’m not sure yet). This weekend I worked on the beastlord, since she was level 91 and still needed alternate advancement.

Ibeogur and myself ran through all of the old Sentinel’s Fate zones, completing the quests for each one. I completed the puzzles to the Vigilant zones which were a LOT of fun, and zones that I had probably not explored much because they used to be really hard to complete. This time I had no issues. I was also rewarded for my time with a lot of house items, something that’s never a bad thing. The beastlord doesn’t have a very fancy house yet, but when she does, it will be decorated up properly. It was a great relaxing way to spend a weekend, and I earned a lot of achievements for it too. The best part is that the guild dinged 68, which means we’re only TWO levels away from being able to purchase a T3 guild hall – that has been one of my dreams for a very long time now. When the guild only has three active players, this is a big deal.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
