Beat Twisting Corridors Layer 4. Don't think I'll be trying 5 just
yet.
February 28, 2021
Eonwë ValarToday at 2:27 AM
Woohoo, got the Son of Galleon mount after 53 kills, if my stats are
to be trusted. That means a year's worth of kills spread out over I
guess 6 or 7ish years.
[2:29 AM]
Still got some transmog gear to get from him, but now that I got the
mount that's optional.
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:28 AM
Btw, for those interested, Proboards is apparently in closed beta

Enjoy the two posts :}
Eonwë ValarToday at 9:16 AM
I made the ending to give opening for a few minutes of interaction
between Calion, Fainan, and Frali if any of those three want to.
[9:16 AM]
I already have my next Auros piece to pick up from there.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 3:50 PM

Our area of Texas is so warm that we're considering the AC. The
water lines are doing fine. So all is well here!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:10 PM
Did I tell you yet that between 2 and 1 weeks ago there was about 32
degrees C difference here in this country?
[4:10 PM]
We went from deep-frozen winter to a warm sunny spring in 7 days.
VardaToday at 4:10 PM
Checked, it was just 80 degrees F here.
IrmoToday at 4:11 PM
Wow, that is amazing
VardaToday at 4:11 PM
Sounds like us! Such a change.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:11 PM
Yes, it was quite mad
VardaToday at 4:11 PM
Anyway, always fun to be able to tell good news. : )

Patch 2.7.0 is now up on the PTR. Two highlights of this patch are
the ability to put more equipement on your follower, and to benefit
from certain effects on their gear. ---

Diablo III
Diablo 3 PTR 2.7.0 Now Live
Our two-week PTR testing period for the 2.7.0
update begins February 25 and we're asking for your help to quell
the tides of surging demons.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:17 PM
Oh wow, that is a huge follower update.
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:17 PM
Yeah.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:17 PM
I always played with them anyway, but they were mostly stat sticks.
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:17 PM
Might have to spend some time on D3 when the update goes live, if I
can find the time between WoW and whatever I'm up to at the time.
[4:18 PM]
That's it for gaming news from me. I return control of your computer

Hmm, did I miss putting Tulkas on there...
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:21 PM
I also remember seeing Tulkas here in Discord earlier, though I
don't see him now.
VardaToday at 4:21 PM
There it is. His Asteld in our kin was last week, not this week.
[4:22 PM]
His non-kin Astald was on today, so it doesn't count. : ) But
we can chat and game anyway!
[4:22 PM]
Any other gaming news?
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:23 PM
I suppose I can mention one of my favorite difficult games series is
getting a "Master Collection" coming in June.
VardaToday at 4:24 PM
I see guildmates on right now in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance;
The Elder Scrolls Online; Cities: Skyline; World of WarCraft;
X-Plane 11, Balder's Gate: Enhanced Edition; and Lord of the Rings
Online. : )
[4:24 PM]
That's good to hear, Eonwe. : )
[4:24 PM]
June is coming fast.
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:25 PM
Only question is if it'll have a physical copy or just digital. WIll
probably affect whether I get it for XBox One or Steam.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:25 PM
Which series is it?
IrmoToday at 4:25 PM
And to add: Miriel is on Valheim
VardaToday at 4:26 PM
Thanks. Sounds like a good name : )
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:26 PM
Ninja Gaiden. It's a difficult (and fun) series of games that earns
its MA rating, so don't say I didn't warn you.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:26 PM
I've heard of it, but that's all I can say about it
IrmoToday at 4:27 PM
Viking style build/survival
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:28 PM
Although, for the first two they're apparently using the "Sigma"
versions for PS4, and the Sigma version of the second game got toned
down some from the original version. I haven't tried the PS4 version
so I don't know how different it will be in respect to controls
(since they apparently changed up some controls too) or content.
[4:29 PM]
The first Ninja Gaiden was virtually a classic IMO. Ninja Gaiden
Black improved on that (with maybe a couple of small drawbacks), and
as I understand the Sigma version for PS4 was a bit better and added
in some missions for side characters.
[4:32 PM]
The third one is going to be the "Razor's Edge" version, which is
going to be a pain, heh. But I did manage to mostly get used to it,
so I expect I'll mostly enjoy this Master Collection.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:33 PM
Sounds good enough
VardaToday at 4:34 PM
On to
[4:34 PM]
top
Tolkien!
[4:35 PM]
On our Forum, the RP has posts to enjoy. I
still have to come up with one, heh.
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:38 PM
I have a couple of short posts lined up for quick turnaround to add
some engagement between characters in.
VardaToday at 4:38 PM
Sounds fun. Did we outside see anything we should report?
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:38 PM
I'm sure small tweaks will be needed/wanted by me based on what you
all post, but the basic post is made.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:38 PM
That should be up to you
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:39 PM
Telperos says the last orc in the town just fell dead at our feet,
so we wouldn't have that to worry about.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:40 PM
He didn't mention all the dragons and nazgul running around!
VardaToday at 4:40 PM
Ok, no story thing going, just potential dinner. : )
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:40 PM
Hehe.
VardaToday at 4:40 PM
O we took care of those, not worth mentioning. ; )
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:40 PM
Without committing too strongly to anything this very second, I'm
expecting us to spend a couple of days in the town. How much of that
story is told in our posts is what we'll find out.(edited)
[4:40 PM]
lol
[4:41 PM]
And how much good staying here ends up doing us, hehe.
[4:42 PM]
But Telperos gave some seeds for "atmosphere" to use, if you want
to.
VardaToday at 4:42 PM
Not good to stay in one place too long with so many enemies around,
Fainan would think. Need to move around.
[4:42 PM]
That should be fun. : )
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:43 PM
General unwholesome feeling to the area, shadows not being as they
should be, and all that.
VardaToday at 4:43 PM
(Any Arien around?)
[4:44 PM]
She put in some good comments for a dwarf on her post too. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:44 PM
Oh, I just headed into WoW, let's check.
[4:44 PM]
Nope, last online 22h.
[4:45 PM]
We could hang out and wait for anyone who's supposed to arrive,
while eating up his supplies in the meantime...
[4:45 PM]
But do we want the confrontation already?
VardaToday at 4:46 PM
Depends. Is there pie in the supplies?
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:46 PM
No, we don't.
VardaToday at 4:46 PM
Then we shall have to move on! hunts the wild pie tree
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:46 PM
Well, at least we can take a bunch of it with us
VardaToday at 4:47 PM
The joy of having horses to do the hauling. ; )
[4:47 PM]
I wonder about those odd shadows...
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:48 PM
This stop is to try and help us bring about some of the plot moments
we discussed. We may find something, but this isn't the final stop.
[4:49 PM]
And plus we may get a story from Telperos, hehe.
VardaToday at 4:49 PM
Aye, we are finding a plot point to help us on the way.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:49 PM
Story time claps
VardaToday at 4:50 PM
Yay!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:51 PM
So either the next post is me telling Fainan and Frali what we've
seen, or them asking me what we've seen.
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:52 PM
Bare-bones of it, yes.
VardaToday at 4:53 PM
We might have to give our own report. "All's quiet." kicks a couple
of orc corpses to one side
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:53 PM
Can also be reactions from Fainan/Frali as we come out from the
stable, small character moments like Fainan checking the draw-weight
on Telperos' bow if Varda wants (or being tempted to), that kind of
thing.(edited)
[4:54 PM]
I put the chance for that in because I thought it'd be amusing.
VardaToday at 4:54 PM
That might be a bit presumptious this soon. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:55 PM
"Puh. Rivendell bow. I'm surprised it's not made of stone."
VardaToday at 4:55 PM
hehe
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:56 PM
If it's of Noldorin fashion I expect it to be better :} I seem to
remember Numenoreans in a tale in UT having bows made of hollow
metal.(edited)
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
Looking back, it looks as if Calion is being set up for the next
post.
[4:57 PM]
Dwarves made some of the early weaponry for the Sindar? Thingol?
mind is mush right now
Eonwë ValarToday at 4:58 PM
It doesn't have to be Calion, but yes, it's set up for Calion having
the potential of either an explanation or reaction to what they
found, or both. There's still room for a "Fainan looked at
everyone's faces and was eager to find out what was in that
building." kind of post if you beat Phar to it, hehehe.(edited)
[4:59 PM]
Or replace "Fainan" with "Frali" even, for that matter.
[5:00 PM]
Dwarves made some weaponry for Thingol/the SIndar, yes.
[5:00 PM]
During the Ages of Melkor's captivity.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:01 PM
Could be me, doesn't need to be.
[5:02 PM]
There is some room for Fainan/Frali idlign.
VardaToday at 5:02 PM
Yep, could do something like that.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:02 PM
idling.
VardaToday at 5:02 PM

Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:03 PM

idling!
VardaToday at 5:03 PM
We also need to hurry up and save Mirkwood. Time is passing fast.
[5:04 PM]
Hehe. It was something I liked about WoW. LotRO has it too, and I
assume all those others. Keeps the people who are away from being
frozen statues to the other players.
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:05 PM
Fighting games have it too, and some single-player games. Adds life
to the character.
VardaToday at 5:05 PM
Agreed. I like it.

Maybe a few new ones now and then would be nice.
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:06 PM
Another of my favorite game series, hehe: Kirby.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:07 PM
Feel free to use the LotRO idle animations in your post then
VardaToday at 5:07 PM
Now we need a comparison thing like that for our other games. : )

Heh, had another topic, but it's already been an hour. We can pick
up on it next time. Be fun to play with the rp stuff!

Three gavels hop in unison to the hammerpad
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:10 PM
I hope everyone enjoys the two posts, and you three find some
inspiration from them for yours :}
VardaToday at 5:10 PM
they stand there wondering how to hit it
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:11 PM
(Arien being the third, though she's not here right now.)
VardaToday at 5:11 PM

Eonwë ValarToday at 5:13 PM
Auros will come back over to the group for more posting once
everyone's had a chance to post for this round.
VardaToday at 5:14 PM
Sounds fair, or this will just be Auros' story, only fair. : )

Eonwë ValarToday at 5:17 PM
Did you catch the RP? :}
[5:17 PM]
Some guy went story crazy and posted twice :}
Arien ValarToday at 5:17 PM
is there a new post?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:17 PM
There be two!
Arien ValarToday at 5:17 PM
oh nice havent read it yet
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:20 PM
Yeah. Auros dragged Calion into a deep, dark hole in the ground.
Auros is cackling maniacally. Will Calion escape in time? :} (lol)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:21 PM
Calion grapples Auros. rolls a dozen d20s
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:23 PM
Auros casts summon friend. Tag-team is succcessful :}
[5:23 PM]
Anyway :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:24 PM
Calion summons wolf pack. It is super effective!
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:24 PM
More seriously, I hope you enjoy the posts, Arien, if you're reading
them now, or when you get to them.
[5:28 PM]
We were just discussing my posts, and direct reactions to them.
Nothing far in the future, or shifting of our stated path. I have
the trajectory of my next few posts ready, with potential for small
adjustments based on what you all post, so I can rapid-fire them for
a bit more interactivity between characters. Or that's my plan at
least, lol.
Arien ValarToday at 5:32 PM
yeah just read them
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:32 PM
My next few posts are close in timeframe: minutes and hours, to be
clear. Not ready to plan interactivity weeks or months down the
road, heh.
Arien ValarToday at 5:32 PM
some kind of something happening eh?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:33 PM
that's the idea
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:36 PM
I also have an idea to use that Telperos and Frali weren't properly
introduced initially, so don't feel a need to throw in any sort of
hasty introduction scene or anything, if the thought crossed your
mind.
Arien ValarToday at 5:42 PM
i wonderered if Frali felt left out again
[5:43 PM]
or i missed something
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:43 PM
That would be something you could add in your post, if you'd like.
[5:43 PM]
But Telperos will address it if it's any comfort :}
Arien ValarToday at 5:44 PM
hehe i hinted at it that he was not entirely happy with his degree
of usefulness
[5:44 PM]
but i can do a short post as reaction to the scene
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:45 PM
Short, not so short. Whatever you think Frali's reaction to what's
going on should be.
[5:45 PM]
As long as it's not running screaming through the middle of town :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:46 PM
Hey, if that's how Frali feels...
Arien ValarToday at 5:48 PM
no sure not hehe
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:48 PM
Alot to react to, so you have alot to choose from: burying an orc,
the resounding silence of the town, the oppressive fog, the "old"
stable door with the new, quiet hinges, standing around outside in
the fog with Fainan (chance for some interaction between Fainan and
Frali after the fact) the look on everyone's face coming out of the
stable.
[5:51 PM]
Calion's description of what they found inside the stable (when Phar
makes it). Alot of potential things to deal with right now.
Arien ValarToday at 5:52 PM
i ll find something
Eonwë ValarToday at 5:52 PM
:}
[5:54 PM]
And yes, I gave the potential for something,... antagonistic, if not
actually dangerous to our company, certainly something malevolent.
[5:58 PM]
And as we speak, I'm getting a clearer picture of how some of our
plot points are going to come into being :}
[5:59 PM]
The ones associated with this town, at least.
[6:01 PM]
I do need to ask though, because we are going to come to it
relatively fast: are we still good with the idea of "reawakening"
Frali's,.. "affinity" to the sword to aid Auros in the search?
[6:03 PM]
Where that ends up going is up in the air (because we haven't
written it yet), but we're coming to the decisive moment now.
VardaToday at 6:03 PM
Sensitivity maybe? Not being controlled. Maybe even repulsed by how
it was controlling before as dwarves are very resistant to control.
(Frali's a bit young, too.)
[6:04 PM]
So Frali may realize Auros has it or has an odd feeling of repulsion
if he perceives Auros as acting controlling.
Arien ValarToday at 6:05 PM
I had a; flash thoght of Frali turning to the sword as he is waiting
[6:05 PM]
so i could build on that
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:06 PM
Right now, no one should know Auros has the sword with him, but
Frali unconsciously turning towards it, or looking in that direction
but not understanding why, would work.
[6:07 PM]
Kind of like feeling someone's looking over your shoulder or
something.
VardaToday at 6:07 PM
Unease. Is someone watching secretly?
[6:07 PM]
I am late starting supper, will return to scroll back.
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:07 PM
Sup well :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:09 PM
Is it.. whispering to you?
[6:09 PM]
On the edge of hearing?
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:09 PM
I don't know if we should go to whispers, not "from the sword" at
least.
[6:10 PM]
Not against the idea, given the atmosphere of where we are, just the
source.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:11 PM
Not actually whispers, just the sensation of whispers
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:11 PM
Fair enough.
[6:14 PM]
I think the idea of the two "forces" somehow interacting, playing
off eachother, could be interesting, but not in a willful,
purposeful sense.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:14 PM
(moth mount got!)
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:14 PM
Congrats :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:14 PM

congrats
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:17 PM
Thanks
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:18 PM
So we're good for making Frali remember the sword's effect then?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:18 PM
Sounds good to me.
Arien ValarToday at 6:18 PM
i should think so
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:19 PM
OK.
Arien ValarToday at 6:19 PM
but .. past bedtime again alas ~
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:20 PM
I'll start plotting how Auros will make that happen, hehe.

With my new Son of Galleon mount from Galleon (MoP world boss) I'm
now up to 320 mounts rideable by my main.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:57 PM
Nice!
[6:57 PM]
My achievement says 396, but not sure how many I can ride
Eonwë ValarToday at 6:59 PM
If it's the one for unique mounts, should be ones you can ride.
[6:59 PM]
Yeah, says "Usable by a single character" so it should be how many
you can actually use on that character.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:59 PM
it does say useable by a single character, so yes
[7:00 PM]
400'll be easy, I've still got several sources of moths, stags and
gorms.

Blizzard gaming:
[7:18 PM]
Well, tried a bit more lost vikings, as well as Blackthorne.
The latter's difficult, but should be fun! But they'll have to wait
a bit before I get really into it.
[7:20 PM]
Heroes of the Storm:
One level gained, up to 448! Tyrande to level 4.
[7:25 PM]
Hearthstone:
reward track to 92 now. XP per level may have stabilized at 1500

[7:26 PM]
Got 2000 gold saved for the Darkmoon Races miniset! Full set got,
including a bunch of achievements for collections, and the Darkmoon
Faire "The Coin" appearance
[7:27 PM]
Tavern Brawl is an old one, choose a class, and then choose one of 3
other classes to get class cards from that.
[7:28 PM]
I know I chose paladin for my second, but not sure which one I
picked first... demon hunter, probably. In any case, it worked out
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 7:36 PM
WoW:
[7:37 PM]
Starting with raiding, Sludgefist, boss 8, down on heroic.
[7:37 PM]
Boss 9 we had a few attempts, but will take a lot of practice.
[7:37 PM]
First 7 going smoothly though
[7:40 PM]
Two weeklies this week for some reason, arena skirmishes and more
timewalks. But I'm making time for both, and having fun with the
skirmishes with my guardian gear and legendary. Which, in fact, is
still helpful for the timewalks as well!
[7:40 PM]
For the rest... let's go down my list of stuff I acquired... which
is a lot
[7:47 PM]
Let's start with... covenant campaign complete! Together with the
two weekly quests I'm now at 36 renown, which means I'm caught up, 2
weeks before the final cap
[7:49 PM]
In doing so I got a new soulshape, the moth; a mount, the Enchanted
Dreamlight Runestag; and a new soulbind, Korayn, who also became a
new adventurer for the command table.
[7:50 PM]
Next up I went into Torghast for my weekly run, where I got the
final legendary rune power from that place, Balance of All Things,
from Skoldus Halls.
[7:51 PM]
Along the way I also got a new adventurer, Duskleaf, putting my
total at 14! 5 to go, I think.
[7:52 PM]
I then had the soul ash required to make my feral legendary, the
Cat-Eye Curio ring. Loving it, so much energy
[7:52 PM]
will continue to collect soul ash to upgrade its ilevel.
[7:53 PM]
As for the Maw, tomorrow I'll hit the next reputation level with
Ve'nari, getting me more stuff for Torghast!
[7:55 PM]
With the Campaign done, I went ahead and completed the Maw questline
for 9.0 as well; delivering Remornia (containing Denathrius) to
Sinfall to unlock the last Bolvar quests in Oribos, and getting the
final 9.0 cutscene between Anduin and Sylvanas.
[7:55 PM]
And with the free time to spare, I've started doing not only world
quests for achievements, but also the ones that give 3 or 4 anima.
[7:56 PM]
Using the anima from those story quests and the world quests, it's
really ramping up now!
[7:56 PM]
I got the command table to level 3 through spending anima,
shortening my mission times, making it easier to get the Maw
missions done within a day.
[7:57 PM]
And then I built the rank one anima conductor, so now I have both
that and the mushroom network at level 1, which both give more
quests for anima and rep!
[7:58 PM]
So that's really kicking in now; takes a few more minutes, but it's
going to get me all the stuff I need from all the rep and renown
vendors
[7:59 PM]
In fact, I built myself a list of 9 vendors - 10 including the
sanctum itself - that take anima, so I'll buy all the stuff as we
go.
[8:00 PM]
Including the Offerings currency, which come from the conductor
quests. But also including pet charms, since apparently a lot of
these guys sell pets as well. So I started sending out the missions
for those as well!
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:00 PM
I still only hve everything at rank 1, but I'm starting to build up
anima again, so I might eventually have to decide on either the
conductor or the command table for rank 2.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:01 PM
I started with the command table since I figured it was the only
feature that saved me time rather than made me spend more of it, but
for more anima and offerings the conductor might be better.
[8:02 PM]
Anyway, with the pet charms I already had, and Marasmius (the
mushroom guy) getting to Friendly rep, I bought 2 pets!
[8:02 PM]
Sir Reginald the squirrel, and the Fuzzy Shimmermoth.
[8:04 PM]
And finally I got my first faction to exalted tonight, the Wild Hunt
(no surprise there, as a night fae), allowing me to buy (for gold,
anime will have to wait) a new leatherworking pattern, the Hunt's
Favor weapon illusion, the Echo of Eonar legendary power (7 to go!)
and the Duskflutter Ardenmoth mount!
[8:04 PM]
So this week I got a moth soulshape, a moth pet and a moth mount ;')
[8:04 PM]
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:05 PM
They sell leatherworking patterns for anime?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:06 PM
anima, sorry And no, for gold
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:06 PM
Couldn't resist :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:07 PM
I saw my typo when I hit enter but couldn't bother to edit
[8:07 PM]
Anyway, that's my report for the week
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:07 PM
Congrats :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:08 PM
Next week, more anima, more unlocks, and getting closer to starting
to level my first other-covenant-alt!
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:08 PM
I ended up with another Companion that I apparently didn't have from
Torghast yet. A tank it seems, only one of two I've got, the other
being from the Renown levels.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:09 PM
I've only got one tank through renown, guess I don't have the
Torghast one yet, unless it's specific to your covenant.
[8:09 PM]
I think I need one more renown companion, which means 4 more from
torghast.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:09 PM
Might be. It's a robo-cat-dog-idon'tknow-thing.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:09 PM
A phalynx?
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:10 PM
Yeah, that's it
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:10 PM
Yeah, sounds like Kyrian only.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:10 PM
Guy in Bastion builds them, so I'm guessing Kyrian only.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:11 PM
For all-covenant companions I've got Croman and Meatball.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:11 PM
Got those guys.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:11 PM
There, 700 anima delivered at once, thank you world quests
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:12 PM
And I got through Layer 4 of Twisting Corridors, after a few deaths,
and secured the toy reward. Don't think I'm ready for Layer 5. I'm
too squishy when I have a small group after me. health jumps too
fast even with the HP buffs.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:13 PM
Ah yes. I just did the layer 8 Skoldus this week, after having done
layer 1 of the Corridors last time.
[8:13 PM]
I'm waiting with the later layers until I have all the Ve'nari
stuff.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:14 PM
I have it all, including the item that consumes phantasma for a
random buff.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:15 PM
Anyway, since I'm a druid who can stag around, my main priority
would be getting up to layer 4 to get pet and toy. Mount and title
are of later concern.
[8:15 PM]
I may even wait a tier.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:16 PM
Practicality might require that of me. My gear is about as good as
it's likely to get.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:16 PM
Hmhm.
[8:16 PM]
So is mine, but since I raid, my ceiling might be a bit higher than
yours
[8:17 PM]
Mushroom network makes me glad I chose Night Fae. I'm sure portals
and such are fun too, but when it comes to travelling it doesn't get
better than good ol' Marasmius
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:18 PM
Yeah. Even if I were feeling like spending the time trying to raid,
it'd only be LFR and there's nothing there that's going to upgrade
me.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:18 PM
Hmhm. Relying on mythic+?
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:19 PM
No, just world quests and covenant gear.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:19 PM
Ah.
[8:19 PM]
Well, that can still go up to.. what.. 197?
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:19 PM
I could PvP for better ilvl, but I'm not feeling that right now
either.
[8:19 PM]
197 for Covenant gear, 194 for the rest of it.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:20 PM
Yeah, I think you'd need rated pvp/conquest to get much better than
that. I know I couldn't my pvp trinkets higher than 197 through
honor.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:20 PM
And the vault can't help me because it doesn't reward for the
content I run or would run.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:20 PM
Myes.
[8:21 PM]
Not up for keystones?
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:25 PM
By the time I get off work I just want to go into WoW, do what I'm
going to do, and either mess around or log off and go do something
else like work on stuff for the guild that's not ready to be
released yet (hehe) or write for the RP. I'm not particularly
interested in trying to find a random group to work my way up
through Mythic dungeons.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:25 PM
Fair enough.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:26 PM
If I had a group of guildies on late at night when I'm on, I'd
consider it (I still need a Mythic+15 for my green flaming
Ashbringer, after all) but not so much trying to sift through the
LFG for it.
[8:28 PM]
But that's a "me" thing :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:28 PM
Understandable, though. I don't like keystones either, and am glad I
have a stable raidgroup so I don't need to bother with them.
[8:29 PM]
When I went for my +15 artifact appearance back in Legion I waited
until I could get a party from said raidgroup, and we waited until
the right keystone came along
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:30 PM
hehe
[8:31 PM]
I'll probably be waiting for the one that gives me the damage and
healing of 5 mythic-raid-geared-level characters, lol.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:31 PM
Hah.
VardaToday at 8:32 PM
Too bad your WoW characters are on different servers.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:32 PM
And different server clusters.
NEW
[8:33 PM]
What time is it for you right now, Phar?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:33 PM
half past 3 at night, I should be going soon, now that my report is
done
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:34 PM
So you're about 7 hours ahead of me... 1am my time would be about
8am your time. You're probably busy during your daytime :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:34 PM
Yep, I'm an evening player.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:35 PM
OK, So even if we were on the same server/server cluster our gaming
times wouldn't align.
[8:35 PM]
A shame, but at least we get to meet here :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:35 PM
Yep, even at the dead of night
VardaToday at 8:37 PM
Collecting the transcript, noticed the Frali
memory thing.
[8:37 PM]
Yes, we should have Frali remember and get past it to use it, so it
makes sense in having had the interaction with it earlier in the
story.
[8:37 PM]
The Rule of Chekov's Gun.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:38 PM
Yeah, I hear this guy named Bilbo once found a magic ring. I wonder
what ever became of that thing :}
VardaToday at 8:38 PM
If you describe a gun hanging on the wall in an early scene, it had
better go off in at least 3 chapters. : )
[8:38 PM]
His nephew, Frodo, seemed to avoid the subject when asked.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:38 PM
But aye, I know what you mean :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:39 PM
I don't know, 8-bit theater had a brick joke go for over 1000 pages
[8:39 PM]
3 chapters might be too early!
VardaToday at 8:39 PM
hehe
It would be cool to have it turn into a strength for the party.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:40 PM
Well I have my next few posts primed and all but ready to post :}
Just up to you guys how soon :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:41 PM
I think I'll make my own copy of a transcript here and go to bed
VardaToday at 8:41 PM
Both sound good.
[8:42 PM]
Fangorn and I may be about to go do the skirmish quest from Bree.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:42 PM

VardaToday at 8:42 PM
hehehehe
[8:44 PM]
"You sly dog. You got me monologuing."
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:44 PM
When you think about it, it's amazing he remembered that line "I am
your biggest fan" for so long to recognize him probably a little
over a decade later.
VardaToday at 8:44 PM
Regrets can be that way.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:45 PM
I should probably watch that movie at some point
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:45 PM
Yeah. He even acknowledges that he shouldn't have been that way
moments later. Evident it stuck with him.
[8:45 PM]
It's worth watching at least once :}
VardaToday at 8:46 PM
I agree, Eonwe. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:46 PM
Earlier this week I decided to stop waiting until it was on tv or
netflix, and downloaded a movie I'd been wanting to see for some
years now.
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:46 PM
I also like watching it again when I catch it and there's nothing
else on.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:47 PM
So now I've finally seen The Dark Crystal!
VardaToday at 8:47 PM
Oh good!
[8:48 PM]
Don't want to meet a Skexi : )
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:49 PM
:}
[8:49 PM]
It is a good one. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is pretty good
too.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:50 PM
Hmhm. I know that is on Netflix, for now, so maybe I'll watch that
too
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:50 PM
Nice to see the Henson Workshop can still do puppets, hehe.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:51 PM
well, namarie!
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:52 PM
Sleep well :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 8:52 PM
You too
Eonwë ValarToday at 8:53 PM
If you haven't seen the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, there's one
name that may make you curious: Mark Hamill :}
[8:57 PM]
Really, there's alot of names in the voice list to
surprise/amuse/interest people.
VardaToday at 9:09 PM
That's the new one?
[9:09 PM]
Mark Hamill did get into the voice acting. Said it was fun. : )
[9:10 PM]
Namarie Phar
Eonwë ValarToday at 9:10 PM
That's the recent series. It was cancelled in September of 2020
after only 1 season, unfortunately, but given it was a prequel,
there wasn't alot of hope for anything but a downer ending if it
went on too long.(edited)
VardaToday at 9:10 PM
I have not seen the Age of Resistance. Afraid it would be a
let-down.
Eonwë ValarToday at 9:11 PM
I would say it was a solid puppet show :}
VardaToday at 9:11 PM
heh
Eonwë ValarToday at 9:13 PM
Music's pretty good too.
VardaToday at 10:00 PM
Fangbark says today may be the day we find that elusive Frog Wart
Ring.
Eonwë ValarToday at 10:07 PM
Good luck? :}
VardaToday at 10:28 PM
hehe
VardaToday at 10:48 PM
Fortunately we have not found the Ring he made up. : )
[10:48 PM]
Nighty night!
