Started my first toon when Velious first launched. I was like lvl 35 on my SK 1 month in. Met a bunch of cool peeps in befallen and I'd go there every now and then to reminisce how hard that damn zone was w/o gear. Had a full group w/ 1 druid healing who died 7x in a row (rip) and ran back each time from Rivervale.. lmao.
Eventually I found out about Reapers of the dead. Sold them for 1K (upwards to 1.2k) to raiders. Bought a Noct blade for 3k , Atra shield 3K, and some miscellaneous gear. Lvled up to 51 as fast as I could w/ my RL friend. We wanted to farm elder beads which resulted in deaths.. those monkeys were hard AF so we had to kite them. Never saw one drop, but we had the camp a few times(unbelievable right?)
I ended saying F camping em and sold more reapers...eventually saved 20K and bought 1 pair of beads. The following day I won a T staff in KC. Holy shit I sold that for 30k ASAP and bought another pair of beads for 19K.
Traded one of my beads to get Soul leech MQ and finished mah epic(no regrets) at lvl 57..the dream
