Wow,  life came at me for a bit there.

I’ve made some in-game accomplishments, primarily 2 GM Cartographer (still have Tyria to go) titles and I’m up to “I Have Many Leather-Bound Books” now. I also have nearly enough booze for Alehound.

In other news, I think I’m going to reformat Chronicles. I have so much I want to tell, but I’m not necessarily writing it in a linear fashion, either on paper, on my compy or in my head. I’m thinking of going with a timeline with links approach. I’m gonna mull over that for a bit.

I earned Legendary Delver this weekend polishing off the rest of my EotN titles (thank you EotN title weekend). I did a few CoF runs for cash and deldrimor points, but it was less than efficient and the groups were less than effective. I then turned my sights to slaughtering snowmen. This worked much more quickly. I found a group with a permasin and everything looked up from there.

I am 2 titles away from I have many leatherbound books. I’m not sure at this time which 2 titles those will be, or when I’ll earn them. I’m trying to farm to get more lockpicks so I can do chest runs. I have about 1/2 as much alcohol as I’ll need for Incorrigable Ale Hound and I should have what I need by Christmas. Throwing my focus into vanquishing/mapping will move things along at a steady pace. That is prolly the way to go.

I’ve been playing a N/Rt build as of late that focuses on healing. I’ll post more on that when I find time.

That’s it for now.

I added two more titles to my character today. After finishing up yet another HM Hero’s Handbook I was able to acquire enough points to put me over the top on my Ebon Vanguard title. Shortly thereafter, I joined a PUG (Pick Up Group) and did a Norn Farming Run to acquire the last of the points I needed for Norn.

This puts me up to 17 maxed titles. I plan on doing Snowman runs and helping people in HM dungeons until I reach my r10 Deldrimor (55k to go).

From there it is back to vanquishing and mapping. Charmaine (my Ele) is moving through Nightfall at the moment capping elites. I plan to take her to EotN to do some farming. I’m going to need lots of golds to identify, lots of gold to buy lockpicks and, well, lots of stuff generally. I’m opening every chest I see but my picks are disappearing faster than I can buy them. Perhaps I should open more normal mode chests and make good use of my 55% retention rate rather than my 25% rate in hard mode.

Next stop, Deldrimor and one campaign vanquished & mapped for 20 titles and Many Leather-Bound Books

I’m officially Very Important.

I finished my HM Dungeon book today with a PUG doing Vloxen Excavation. We were actually quite effective, with exception of all they complaining…

I bought my Asura title with the proceeds from my HM book. My next goal is to do 2 more missions in HM and then complete a second HM Mission book to afford about 42k to max out Ebon Vanguard. I’m about 3k away from my Norn title, which will work itself out…or I can farm for it. and I’m about 70k or so away from my Dwarven title, which will also take care of itself once I get started murdering all of those snowmen to get their goodies.

After these 3 titles, I’ll be moving on to Vanquishing like it is my job.

I attained Legendary Master of the North tonight! I still have 1 more Dungeon to do in HM (Vloxen) but I had enough points to put me over the top. I’m now at 14 max titles.

My other 4 EotN titles (Norn, Ebon Vanguard, Asura and Dwarf) are close as well. Norn is within 6k and the others are between 43k and 60k. Vloxen will boost my Dwarf rep and Norn will work itself out. I’ll prolly use my HM book on Asura and get a HM Mission book to mop up Ebon Vanguard. I’ve toyed with using a hero to raptor farm, but I haven’t given it more than a thought. That’d be a nice way to get meager drops and polish off my Asura title.

From here, it’s on to Vanquishing full time. I’ll be mapping at the same time and slowly raising my lucky, treasure hunter and wisdom titles.

That’s all for now.

I haven’t made much progress this month. I’ve been taking care of some RL things and studying a lot. Belzan has managed to thwart Arachni and spent a great deal of time sitting in a little ring drinking though. I’ll be sure to post more when I find the time to do something worth writing about.
