Armed with a map that was at least semi-useful, I set out in Telon to get some levels, some loot, and some amazing screenshots.
Meh. I got two of the three.
My quest log is stuffed to overflowing with quests for Veskal’s Exchange… I really need to get back there and do some of them before all the quests go gray on me. Fate wanted me near Tursh, though. Satia guided me to a harvesting trainer, and so I was taught the mysteries of … felling weakened ash trees and looting logs from its corpse.
I was engaging in a little mini game called “wru weak trees and metal nodes???” when I saw a call for more for Khegor’s End. Now I’d been wanting to head there since I first heard about it last weekend; I sent the tell, got the group, and we met up by the dam where the cleric shared all the quests for which a lowly 13 bard was eligible.
Off we went!
We’d been in the dungeon almost an hour when the first comment came about me needing pretty much everything that I could wear. It was true! I had to admit to them that this was my first character and that I had only been playing a week… and that this was my first group, besides!
They didn’t say anything, but the talk of what they’d been doing all weekend on their mains kinda tapered off a bit. I guess I had this hope that I wouldn’t be the only new player in the group, but nope, I was the only main in a group of alts.
Still was a lot of fun, and I DID need the upgrades and got them, finished a bunch of quests and came out of it two levels richer. Finishing up the dwarven quests – the ones I could do alone, anyway – was easy.
Next weekend? Back to Veskal’s Exchange!
