Tales from the Druid newbee Volume 2

[Griffy]

I havent gotten to play much this past week. I would love to tell you it was due to all the halloween parties i had to attend.... but nope its work /sigh always work

anyway

Saturday i spent the time I was online trying to do the halloween quest. I didn't get to finish it but i was having fun exploring zones I hadn't been to in many years.
Good job on the staff for putting it together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

the highlight for me was something that would probably make most folks laugh. while looking for the quest mobs i hit track and it went to 51 !!! Squee for higher tracking [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] !

Sunday I decided to level a bit and decided to head over to Eastern Wastes to try my hand at walruses. I had a little difficulty splitting just 4 of them off the heard at first and I got tagged with the death squads twice. but I did finally learn the correct angle to pull from and managed to get a few quads in. really good xp. to bad the loot is crap. Sunday evening I tried to run over and help my little enchanter buddy out. she seems stuck at 23. Unfortunately we didn't get to do as much as I would have liked. maybe next time.

Well i dont think I can hit 38 tonight but i am sure going to try [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] till next time

Well here is a mini update for you. Last night I was finally able to get back online. "Work has been brutal" I beebopped in Great Divide a bit and tried my hand at kodiaks. They are very doable at 37 though a bit hard to gather up for a quad. I also did a bit of porting to try and raise some funds for spells I know I will have to buy in 1.5 levels.

Interestingly enough I met a gent named Bonecollector last night who explained how the tooth flagging for Velious works. Now when I originally started in EQ Velious was just coming out, and it was a long time before I actually made it to Velious. So long in fact that the keys were no longer required. Since I was in Great Divide anyway I went ahead and grabbed the tooth in GD. I also realized I'm going to have to figure out how I am going to get to CS for the last one. I also need to figure out if they are permakeys or if I need to keep one on me at all times. Bone said he would walk me to CS tonight and I hope he does ! Its been years since i went through Skyshrine or Kael or even spent time in CS "where i spent soooo much time quading in my early days

Someone really should do a write up on those tooth keys [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's a write-up on it here.

Getting to Velious by port

There are four zones to which you can port on Velious: Iceclad Ocean, Great Divide, Wakening Land, and Cobalt Scar. All but Iceclad Ocean require a special tooth for porting, both for the porter and the portees. Anyone can port to Iceclad without a tooth of any kind. To retrieve these teeth, you must travel to the zones the old-fashioned way and pick up the ground spawns at the center of the dragon portals. The teeth are soulbound, so if you die, they will travel with you if they were on your person when you died.

These are increasingly difficult to get the further into the continent you go, with the most difficult being the Tooth of the Cobalt Scar. This tooth, because it is the most difficult, will allow you to port to GD, WL and CS. Tooth of the Wakening Lands will allow you to port to GD and WL. Tooth of the Great Divide will only allow you to port to GD.

To get the Tooth of the Cobalt Scar, you must first get a Shrine Key to pass through Skyshrine into Cobalt Scar.

Take care both in porting in and retrieving the teeth. Wuoshi likes to hang out in the dragon portal in The Wakening Land.

The Shrine Key will allow the whole group to zone into Skyshrine, so all you really need is a friend with a key to get into CS.
