For the past week or so, Moumix and I hung out at the Magranon event on the Independence server, collecting ore and purifying the monolith that had spawned. Overall it was quite boring, but since neither of us can mine 90ql ore yet, it would come in handy. Yesterday we each took our characters home, and I resumed working on Quail Landing.
My main deed is (and has been for 4 years now) Quail Cove, an island deed on the SE corner of the Independence server. The deed has been ‘completed’ for quite some time, aside from small changes here and there it remains mostly the same. I wanted to be able to use the highway system to transport bulk goods, so I created a second deed on the mainland of Independence, fairly close to my main deed. This one I called Quail Landing.
The deed is completely different from the island version, a huge sprawling castle with lots of tall towers. I have two more buildings to complete (one being the central ‘castle’) and I’ve been working on crafting large brazier pillars for each of the towers. I really like how it’s starting to look. Once the construction is done, and the braziers are up, I can work on decorating the place. At Quail Cove the ‘theme’ is my capy PMK items (capybara) in teal and pink. Over at Quail Landing, the theme runs along the HOTS colours, purple and black (Horde of the Summoned). These items can currently still be crafted, so they’re not exactly of high value, but they do add lots of pops of colour and interest to the deed (or at least, I think so).
I do also need to complete the docks at Quail Cove, it uses a lot of dirt so I haven’t gotten it done – and I keep waiting for the ‘docks’ update that is apparently coming to the game. It was teased about in 2024, but no ETA was provided. I’m hoping we see them ‘soon’ and it will open up a lot of new construction possibilities. I’d also like to move the highway around my deed at Quail Landing, but again that takes quite a bit of dirt. Independence has dirt – but hauling it to my place is something I just haven’t had the time for.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
