Magranon Site – Day 3

stargrace June 14, 2023 0Comment

Well, by now I thought the holy site would have expired, the wiki mentions it lasts “around” 14 days, I believe it spawned on June 2nd so we’re now on day 13 – the corruption and power of the site does continue to reduce, but it’s difficult to tell if it’s because of players or time. I’m trying to get as many fragments as I can before it vanishes in an attempt at completing a few more archaeology combines. So far I’ve gotten 10 items, I would say maybe three are ‘useful’ and the others are quite random. I’ll need a separate storage for these fragments, I’m unsure if they can be combined with regular items and retain their bonuses.

While three of my characters sit at the fissure on Xanadu, Blesse back at my main deed has been working with the animals, creating a few more hitching posts, and placing enchanted grass. Moumix hasn’t been around that much, but he has been working on some leather gear for the horses and helping with enchanted grass. I intend on sticking around at the Xanadu fissure for as long as possible to complete as many archaeology pieces as possible, then when I get back to my deed on Independence, I have some plans in the works. Or at least some ideas of plans. We’ll just have to see.

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

It’s a Magranon Sort of Day

There’s a holy site up on Xanadu – and normally I wouldn’t pay too much attention to these, because holy sites are difficult to get to when they’re on other servers (especially Xanadu since it’s a HUGE place) but one of my friends was summoning to a Fo rite of crops cast, and I really wanted to get the achievement on my Fo priest, so I hopped on a boat and sailed over.

I’ve never actively participated in a Magranon holy site before – but I learned how neat they can be. Randomly (approx once an hour) archaeology fragments will spawn and drop into your inventory, and they can have runes / enchants and be items you can’t typically find in archaeology. I love this idea. LOVE IT. Some of the items linked were just amazing to me, and I understand that to some other people they may be boring, but I couldn’t wait to get my hands on something similar.

The holy site has already been active for a number of days, but I’ve got two characters parked there now doing sermons and other priest-like things. Hopefully I get some neat archaeology bits, and if not, well it was a fun experience at least. A thank you to the folks on Xanadu who are running it, I did leave 1 priest behind in a boat so I can find my way back home at the end, and I certainly appreciate the summons.

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

Working on an Almanac

Today was FINALLY the day that lingonberry would be ready, to study and harvest. These plants only grow on tundra, and can’t be created by other players, so after the dragon slaying on Pristine, I stuck around for a full day since it was on the tundra. I have just a few more reports to complete, and then my almanac (and thus my journal entry) will be done. It has taken a while, but I’m pretty pleased that I remembered to do it at all.

Down goes (another) Dragon

Another public slaying! This time the reward was some scale and a bit of butchering blood. I’m very close to having my knife finished with potions, so of course I took myself (Stargrace) + 3 priests to Pristine for this one. Someone brought along the token zombie champion whale, too. They’re neat, but they block so much of the view!

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