Well I can’t TR without putting a picture up…. 😀
He’s currently 1 fighter / 2 monk / 12 druid. I can already see problems with the lack of spell points – but I haven’t spent any time sorting much gear out so I’m hoping that will help. I do have a stack of mana pots not doing much at the moment as a short term compensation. But the damage is very nice 🙂
He is, however, bigger than Rach’s Shadar Kai!
Have fun, see you around!
Firstly my apologies for this blog. It will probably be short and boring. But I’ve been ill & still feel crappy. I’m mainly posting for consistency with updates on Hymm.
It’s only taken 3 weeks to get from level 15 to level 28, which is pretty fast (for me)! I worked out if I could keep that rate going I’d manage 17 lives this year. To be honest – I can’t see that happening 😀 I didn’t think I’d actually hit level 28 this weekend (see note about being ill above) but I managed a few hours over the weekend and, with the help of guildies & the 20% XP boost, capped last night.

*warning: there are a lot of pictures in this blog 😀
I was clearing out the folder all my DDO screenshots are saved to the other day & found a lot of, what I think are, really good pictures. So I decided to share them 🙂
If there’s one thing DDO does well, it’s scenery!
Cerulean Hills. I always think this shot is beautiful
This is just a quick funny.
Like all guilds, I suppose, that contain friends, we take the piss out of each other 😛 This week I’ve been telling my guildie Aldrac that he looks like Kermit the Frog. What do you think?
The title says it all really 😀
The past week has been all about the XP in DDO. I’m not sure why but I was determined for Hymm to hit 28 by the weekend. The previous weekend he was a few thousand short of level 25. Rach switched to her cleric who was still lurking around at level 26 and still needed some Epic Destinies finishing off and we spent most of the week duo’ing.. well.. just about everything! Every now and again we’d have Aldrac, Tobril or Samius join us, which just made the quests even more fun and faster.
Saturday afternoon we logged on and our guildie Korv was on. He doesn’t play as much as he used to but we knew he was going to be around on Saturday and his level 21 artificer needed to finish flagging for VoN, so we started with those, then just kept on going. We were joined later in the day by Aldrac & Tobril. By the end of the days play, his character had reached level 24 and was flagged for both VoN and CitW. Hymm was level 27.

Last day of 2013 and to be completely honest I can’t wait to say good bye to this year. On a personal level it’s been a pretty crappy year, which only improved in the last few months. (It’s just been pointed out to me that it’s my fault it was a crappy year – which it was. Eh)

Again, I’ve mainly been concentrating on Hymm and Dimachaerii over the last few weeks. A quick update on how they are doing (which isn’t much as the holidays have disrupted regular gaming).
Hymm is on his 7th life as an iconic Shadar Kai. Since his hTR into this life he’s got part way through 18. I was hoping to hit level 20 this weekend but I’ve been lazy, we’ve had family visiting, so it’s not happened.
Some people take family pictures and make Christmas cards out of them. I take in game pictures and do a Christmas card blog instead 😀
On Thursday evening I got Dimachaerii to level 20. I won’t go into the nitty gritty XP details like I did on a previous blog with Hymm as he’s a second lifer. But I will say that it did not really seem any easier with the new XP curve. Maybe I’ll see it more when I next TR a 3+ lifer….
Which nicely leads me to – Hymm! Because Dim is now 20 I can allocate him to weekend epics & raids as my DPS character and go back to working on Hymms (triple?) completionist. He picked up his epic Heart of Wood, courtesy of Turbine. On Friday evening evening my partner was out so I decided to get his eTR done. I took Colors of the Queen from the Primal Sphere (it was a choice between that and Doublestrike for my first eTR) then joined up with my guildie Aldrac and ran eE Impossible Demands & Unquiet Graves, then eH Wizard King. Some nice XP to start building on the Primal Sphere karma again.

Last night I leveled my TR up to 15 and we got started on the Gianthold area. More importantly, this meant that my iconic bladeforged on my second account could join us 😀
Shadlowyn (partners ranger/rogue), Dimachaerii & Demoncherry
Demoncherry is 1 paladin/2 rogue/12 sorcerer. I do find it amusing that I’ve ended up with Dim & Demon playing together. ‘Demoncherry’ is what my guildies usually call Dimachaerii 😀 I built him as a helper, hence the rogue splash. As it turns out, both Dim & Shad have rogue or arti splashes so that bit probaby won’t be needed anyway, but the buffs are nice.
I had a few issues to resolve in order to get the dual box working. For starters, my iMac only had 4GB RAM. So I upgraded to 16GB. But I still had severe performance issues with both clients open, until a guildie recommended turning down my visual settings. I miss the high res I had previously – but it certainly did the trick 🙂
Picking on the dummy
It was also interesting running a VIP & premium account at the same time and seeing the differences. For example, one of the Gianthold walk-ups got my VIP character 19K XP, while the premium only got 12K XP. But it was fun running the two together and since he’s a first lifer Demon isn’t going to need to worry about less XP too much 😀
OK that was just a quickie 😀
Have fun, see you around!
