Kristin's Adventures in MMOLand Episode 5

I'm having a ton of fun with EQ2's Age of Discovery and the latest Game Update. After the extended overnight downtime getting it going I hopped in game and ran right for Frostfell Village. I got 2 server item discoveries one being the sled from the Frostfell Fanatic quest. So that was pretty cool. I spent several hours completing all of the Frostfell quests on my main.

I then ran to North Qeynos' tradeskill building and grabbed my first Tradeskill Apprentice. I plopped her into my main's home and office "Super Star Mansion". I have her learning an earring recipe as her first task. It says it will take 15 days but you can speed it along a little each day.

Then it was off to make a Beastlord. I decided on an evil Kerra named Purrdy. At first I didn't see how they were different than any other class. Then I hit level 18. At that point a new fancy Beastlord hotbar popped on my screen. Interesting..... Basically you have abilities that are only available when other things proc or are triggered like when your warder has "Weakness" active on them. It's similar to games like Aion where you can only use certain abilities if your opponent is knocked down, for example.

I got Purrdy to level 20 and headed over to Freeport to start with the new quests there. That's where I still am today. I did take a little time to pop my alts over to Frostfell Village for their daily gift from Santa Glug.

There's still a ton to do like playing with the Dungeon Maker. I am waiting a bit on that to see what other drops I can get for them. So far I've gotten drops from a random wolf, a random clockwork, a named crocodile, and a couple drops in Icy Keep. Most are mob spawners I think. So we'll see what else I come across this week and maybe this weekend I'll start designing a dungeon.

I hope you all are having a ton of fun too.
