Day 48: Ash, Atlan and Acklay Armour

Filed a ticket yesterday while chatting with Ash and Atlan about stuff and things, (Atlan had to talk me through how to even file a ticket, as Legends uses a forum and not a special page on the website. I actually like this system better) and they solved it.  Ash roxxors. But then I put the suit on a toon and went to work and forgot that Hoggle's toons need access to suit too. This counts as a N00bDoc Moment for the week.

So yay, suit found, it had been dropped and turned invisible, which is a thing that happens (and happened back In The Day (tm), although I suspect it may happen more in this iteration.) And I vaguely recalled what it was even named. My memory is not as bad as it could be.

Got the awesomest news just as I was leaving for work: my friend Kewarra has joined Legends, and I am SO looking forward to running with him again, OMG!!!!

Logged in as soon as I got home, and whaddaya know, 5 minutes left till restart. My fing luck.

Did get a Mamien started on Lifa (will have to check and see if that actually took, considering how close it was to server reset).

Logged back in for a half hour after all that, got my sessions switched on all my toons, and ran to do some bazaar shopping to stock up on 80% + isos, of which we had 0. Now we have like 7. Then switched over to Soulei to take a last advantage of the double XP: got her another piece of  the cool looking Acklay Armour. She is level 35 now, the Kitty is 30. That's not bad considering I should have done a lot more grinding of her this week, and just didn't get off my arse to do so.






Day 47: Bored and Bothered

Lost the suit. Can't make pets. Mrrg.




Day 46: Naboo Noobness

Did a bit of sorting and organisation this morning, then spent about an hour running Soulei around on Naboo. Failing to find Borvos to kill in the Borvo Bunker behind Moenia, but then looting the level 28 Acklay down there and getting the Borvo Armour quest, which has good xp, opens a peko peko Slayer quest, and other than a lot of bouncing from one wp to another (with about 3k of overland driving required between them) it's not too bad. And it gives solid XP!

So Soulei is level 33 now and the cat is 26 (double xp is definitely helping with that). Good week to have lots of play time, which I only have becuase the weather IRL has been so phenomenally poor. I opted to leave Soulei in the Borvo bunker to kill the Acklay a few more times to get the armour pieces.

No booms on the late night sessions done yesterday, which is disappointing, but today it's fresh starts across two toons. Not complaining, not really.

The capped Mawgax I threw on the vendor at 2 am had sold by 8, so that's good. Capped pets are definitely a booming market, and with over 50 20s sitting there, we could burn through a few in just loading a vendor with some nice beast eggs.

Back online for all of 2 minutes when the server resets. Rarg. One of these days I will check Discord before I log in, maybe save myself some aggravation. Switched over to Soulei and killed and looted the Acklay, just in time. By the time the server is back up, it will likely have been reset too. :) Clever me is clever.

So I sent my old friend and Beast master guru Ztez a PM on the SWGpets site yesterday, and was very pleased and surprised to hear back pretty quickly. I hope (fingers seriously crossed) that he'll come and join us in this version of the game. Regardless, it was pretty terrific to chat with him. I have missed him.

Day 45: Short Attention Span Questing

Looks like I will have lots of time to play today, as the weather is precluding work and the kid is off to see his girlfriend, so I should be able to play till around 10:30 tonight!

All those Cs processed now, and we are pretty much out of raws to process, so I may get some more later today, but as I said to Hoggle: no rush: we have a LOT of 20s (somewhere in the area of 45, plus). making a few lower point hydros to do fillins, and I think I may spend some of the Graul take on mutagen consumables or resources, so I can make my own 12, 13 and 14 pt hydros when I do have a successful second stage app. After I've got Aerys her Master Tamer's of course.

No boom on second stage of Kliknik. Boom on last stage of Mawgax. Started a deco grade Mamien on Osho: nothing there, yet. Definitely need to do some foraging on Aerys' though, and get more stock of mount grade lyases.

Started the Heroic prequests on Aerys, finally, and got started on the Tusken one, just before server needed to rest.

Ran over to Yavin for a community trivia event: that was fun! Got three questions right, and came in second to Okoral, and walked away with a new title and a Guise of Ice and a Mah Jongg machine. That makes me ridiculously happy. :)

Now running the Exar Kun prequest, have to look up what I am sposed to do now that I am on Yavin. Ah ha, that part is done. Oko gave me incorrect advice. Good thing there's a wiki!

Back to Corellia now, then going to start the ISD thingie. I have to go back to Aurellia to close out the Exar Quest and start the NS one, but I am officially distracted and running to buy some rare fish, for the fish tank collection, for one of the Helper Monkeys. Except the shop and vendor are no longer there. So I found a different vendor on Corellia who had collection things for sale and bought some of those instead. Whee!

Then to Yavin, played Mastermind with the escape pod array and then made my way to Endor to try and do the next bit. I will either need a full suit of 35s or one capable combat buddy, so kind of a good thing the server went down when it did: these silver elite level 90 mobs are kicking my ass. Parked Aerys outside the Black Sun bunker and switched over to Lifa and to Soulei to do some inventory maintenance before the reset. I have maybe a half hour left to play: not sure what to do in that time.

Ended up running about to Lok and buying a bunch of resources (spent about 40 mill on some very nice stuff, but will have to build a crafting suit for Lifa in order to take full advantage of it. She only has the base 10 points of experimentation. Going to need to reset her for Experimentation anyways. That's a long boring day ahead. Tempted to just buy the crafting suits for Structures, Munitions and Chef will have to find out what/where/how much I cna expect to pay.

Finished processing the last of the Cs into 20s or attempts thereat. So, at present we have 64 finished 20s, three more in process, and about 18 non 20 processed hydros. I think we're fine till Hoggle or I find time to hunt more dragons.

Brought Aerys home: she has 2 and a half hours left before I can flip third session on that Kliknik. I am tired though. If I am still awake then, I'll flip that session, but otherwise, it can wait till the morning.

It's weird not having a pet to level: there's no pressure to afk grind... I am going to work on Aerys' Feathered Slice and Psycho Jax next, I think. (Although I do really want an Acklay...)

Day 44: Elemental Overflow

Scrubbed the Slice Hound, and started a Kliknik for Hoggle's order: got a boom on stage one. Gotta see if it gives me an Acklay on second or third session. man, now I really want an Acklay!

Fuddled around a bit more: went and spent a couple hundred K on unprocessed Cs, to try and burn through some of our element overflow. We are very gradually getting the processing and storage spaces set up. Dropped a vendor in the Hospital to help with inventory and lower grade enzyme management.

Slept most of the day and was kinda down on myself for missing so much play time, but the server was having issues most of the day, so I don't feel so bad now.

I have to make a habit of logging into Discord and checking DMs and BM chat regularly, if I am to be a good Senator, eventually.

Heading to bed: still not 100% from the headache.

Day 43: Consultation is a Thing!

 I was away for most of the day, so only logged in once I got home, at about 10:15. Switched on Vent , I mean Discord, (one day I might even remember that!) and chatted with the guys, who were running Heroics: was immediately ragged about not having my precursors done. So that's kinda important, I need to get on that forthwith.

The Dalyrake had made it to level 59 in the day's grind yesterday, so I will grind more tonight and maybe run those pre-quests on Sunday or Monday.

Hoggle hadn't switched any of the processors in the lab so it was pretty much as I'd left it on Friday. I flipped everything over, started 4 hydros through final stage, and threw the switch on another 13 through initial stage. Next session I'll have to go get that bag from the storage house so I can finish out the process on that one big hunt Hoggle did at the beginning of the month.

Finished Osho's CuPa and Lifa's Blurrg and the Gurreck for Exit, started a Squill on Osho, a Mawgax on Lifa and a Slice Hound on Aerys. I really want another boom!

Ran Aerys home, then back out to the pet grind group. Server is counting down to reset, but the Dalyrake is already level 72! Gotta love double xp weekends!

Have been having convos with the various folks on the dev team, about frequency of drops for various DNAs, and lowering the resource requirements  for crafting the BM consumables. I recall how that was definitely one of the top 5 we had on live. Kinda cool to be in the loop on these sorts of addditions, changes and fixes! Very much looking forward to the update, which should be within the week!

Day 42: Lots of Lists

Flipped incus and processors (usual morning routines), but hydros duped, but couldn't duplicate the duping process. I guess it's a memory bug, and maybe is tied to the memory leak issue?

No booms on any of the sessions, /pout. I am an addict.

Have to get Aerys and Soulei through the Heroic prequest. Seriously questioning my sanity on levelling Soulei through legacy. I never ran all of it before, and I kinda want the experience of it, but good lord it's a pain in the ass.

Also need to get Aerys' 35s made up, which will require a respec to a Munitions trader. Soulei is going to need a set of 35s as well: so maybe grab a bunch of REables and do that on Osho, when I have a hermit day.

And then there's Tamer's Necklaces and deco and and and! I want it all! Love this game.
