Back to Normal

Evening folks,
Just currently waiting for the Old Republic to finish patching then I'm starting MMO night early, got a few hours extra compared to normal so it should be a better night and make up for last week. Going to start with Star Wars this time around since normally I do Warcraft then get too wrapped up in it leaving a small amount time left.

Plans for tonight is to finish all the old quests I missed on Star Wars and after who knows, see where my Starship takes me. On Warcraft I will do the normal round of daily quests then I'm going to the Twilight Highlands for the first time to start questing there and opening up the Wildhammers Faction since I need to work on them too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Great seems my friends have moved out of the guild and into a bigger one with a note saying to the rest of us to give a shout for a invite, would help if you they actually came online and not sure they even play anymore. Apart from that just got my cool new Tauntaun Ram pet (came with the latest giant patch) so got that following me around now, as I said before I loaded I want to clean up all the old quests on my starting planet (Hutta). I did miss quite a few since I was hurrying to get off planet so I could finally get my ship.


One feature I do love about this game is being able to send my companion off to sell all the junk items I've looted, lost count how many times I've filled my inventory so far tonight. I'm currently gunning my way through factories and swamps, it's not bad but as started to get a bit boring.

Wow I did not realise because I've got the scavenger profession I can loot items from droid/turret corpses, what luck that this factory is full of security droids.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Think I found something super rare, I was currently working my way through an underground tunnel that links some of the factories through the swamp and discovered a datacron. Was all flashy and shiny looking, clicked the bugger and was told I got some kind of shard that goes toward a matrix or something?

Also unlocked an achievement codex entry telling me a story of the first humans on Coruscant, it's amazing how much I don't know about this game. I could sit for hours just reading through the codex entries I've been getting, Bioware as gone to town on the lore. Anyway guessing I need to make a note to look up datacrons before my next MMO night but that's it for now I've done about 5-10 quests and cleared hutta so I can now continue back onto the normal quests and continue my story next week.

Time for a cuppa then heading on over to Warcraft.

I once caught a fish this big

Last week I left myself at Ironforge the Dwarf capital which I'm glad I did now, soon as I logged in I could jump straight onto the fishing and cooking daily quest. Been some interesting things so far, cooking wise I just had to hand out packed lunches of bear and meat for the local guards. Last week had me doing a keg run from the small town outside before the time limit was up, they wanted it fresh lol.

In the ways of fishing I had to make a new prototype Gnome lore that consited of a bear trap, poor fish had no chance. This week saw me trying to catch the local legend Old Ironjaw offspring Young Ironjaw, which was then put on display in the local muesuem (it was a slow month for them).

So after that it was portal to the elemental plane of earth to do the daily quests for Therazane then off to the Twilight Highlands for the first time.

Loved the opening quest which involved taking a sea plane from the dock to the new zone, was told since we need to get there fast that the pilot had taken out seatbelts and parachutes to lighten the load. That was the first worry, then we took off and the engine died so we nearly crashed into the city wall lol. Then he decided to burn up all the fuel at once for a boost and was told not to black out, course that happened and I wake up with the plane crashed into the mast of a ship and the horde attacking us. It's one of those days from the looks of things, scratch that just got worse. Involves me, a cannon, lots of gun powder and trying to board a zipplin, this Dwarf pilot will be the death of me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a fun night and I got to admit the opening quests for this zone where not bad, repel the invading forces then help take over a beach head to help bring in forces to the zone. I stopped there mostly because I need to hit the sack early tonight and I want an hour to finish off two games I've nearly completed.

Have a good one folks,
~Iznic
