alt+0255

I have resolved the issue of my low level ranged weapon. While farming skulls to kill the undead dragon near Auchindon, the Gunblade dropped. It was nearly 10DPS higher than my crossbow and provides better AP bonus although it is all in the form of +AP so I lost crit due to losing +AGI. Meh. With my current set-up I have 18.5% crit which is doing well for me. I think that's higher than Lÿnn the NElf. The gun will still be replaced at 70 by Valanos' Longbow and probably sooner by the gun from Nesingwary's.

Buru thought that I should sell the gun, considering it is a blue and a low drop. I know it would have sold well on AH but I wanted the gun for two reasons:
  1. I needed to level gun skill. It was at 1 and I will soon get the gun from the Nesingwary chain. This gave me the opportunity to do most of the levels while farming and questing last night.
  2. It's the Gunblade... ya know FF9. Well it looks no where near as cool but... ahh nostalgia

I need money for a flying mount but it will come soon enough without selling all the cool drops I get.

Questing last night was fun. Buru and I finished out some group quests, none in common sadly. I was really frustrated by one. Evil Draws Near has a player collect 20 Doom Skulls from the drenai around Auchindon and then use a relic from a previous quest to call down a huge undead dragon. Very sweet looking. The dragon was 65 elite so I felt pretty confident that I could kill it. It would have been no problem except all the frickin mob respawns. Twice I farmed 20 skulls and twice I faked my own death to avoid a real death. Grr! I asked Buru for help and he showed up on Gurch, his priest. I think he was a little annoyed when I asked if I could kill the dragon solo. He responded only "-.-" He let me, and he killed the one add I had while I downed the big dragon. I so wanted to kill the dragon on my own since I had solo'd the other 2 group quest mob's in Terrokar, Terrokarantula and some dumb bird. Terrokarantula was tough. I killed it when I was even level to him and he is a 65 elite. My pet was at 1% health when the giant spider went down. Woot! up next: Onyxia.
