Emperor’s Blade Quests

I was just running around Tsumei last night with DarkEmerald. We were on our lowbies. I was just suggesting to her that we do the Emperor’s Blade’s quests, since I had noticed the “!” over his head the other time.

She was on her level 11 Necro, and I was on my level 15 Ranger. Yeah, those are the “lowbies”… considering that the max level is only 20, level 11 is already “more than halfway” to max level. Anyway we did the series pretty well, right up till the Last Stand.

We didn’t die. In fact we even managed to kill the Named (the target of the quest), but we had to clear out his minions before the quest could be marked as completed. We weren’t doing too badly, we had a couple of near-wipes but, thanks to my Ranger also being a Ritualist, I was able to rez people after I had killed off the mobs or completed a “tactical retreat”.

Anyway, we were slowly, but surely, clearing up the remaining minions, till I crashed out. Damn! Somehow, when I crashed out, DarkEmerald ran into problems too, and the quest, which was so close to being completed, is not incomplete. Guess we’d have to do the same thing again tonight if she’s going back onto her Necro char.

Making Armour

The past couple of nights I have been just running around Shing Jea and Sunquaa, killing heaps of Mantids just to get their Chitin fragments.

Why?

To make a set of Exotic armour from the guy found in Wujin Bazaar on the mainland. However I got all stupid and decided to buy parts (like wood planks and iron ingots etc) to make the Steel Ingots. I had made like 10 or so, and wasted a total of 4 plats making them, before I realised I could have bought 20 steel ingots for 4 plats instead!

So anyway, yeah another lesson learnt. And I’m level 20. Damn I’m still such a newbie.

Anyway, the past couple of nights I haven’t been able to hook up with DarkEmerald. Real-life happened, and my DVD recorder died. That kinda put a damper on my playing time.

Tonight I’m going to try to get Aleric to complete some of those level 20 quests and see if he can make more money. I am down to 3 plats on him. Need cash bad.

Reached Level Cap

Well well in a little under 2 weeks, I managed to get 2 characters up to level 20 – the max level cap of Guild Wars!

Strangely, I still feel like a newbie. I still have no idea what 3/4 of the mainland looks like. I have yet to beat the main story line. I still wear the armour I made back in Seitung Harbour (the level 14-ish one). I am too poor to make a set of armour from the Kainen City armourers (which I presume to be the best armour money can buy).

I thank that maybe Guild Wars may not be a good place to stay for long. Might be fun for a while but probably it might be time to move on sometime soon. Then again, I haven’t beaten the main plotline, and I might want to get into real human groups to try to beat this one. I still have to wait for one of the Lacey sisters (Alexia or Shantilly) to get to level 20 to try getting a human group together to beat the quest I am stuck on.

And, there are still quests to do …. 🙂

Guess I might be sticking around a little bit longer…
