So began our epic and fun weekend Friday afternoon as we lay dead on the floors of Arcane Research Halls while our mercs attempted to kill the last boss, which we unknowingly pulled first. It was the first of many deaths in Halls while working on the epic weapon quest, in fact I had an experience debt of 3.5% by the time we finished (all experience was off while hubby caught up) and the final boss went down like candy after all the other bosses were dead. We got our epic weapons Friday afternoon, first for both of us, and it set the tone for the weekend.
Like most instances, especially the newer ones, the scenery is gorgeous. We spent most of the weekend leveling on signature quests, and this one brought us to Forgotten Pools. This shot is before we killed anything in this room or realized that the room was split in half by color. We did figure it out before we wiped however, so that was helpful. I must admit, I’m loving the fact that recent but old content can be handled by the two of us with mercs out without having to ask our wonderful and helpful guild to come assist. We may wipe a time or two before we figure out the mechanic but it is satisfying when the mechanic is new and unique and we figure it out.
Another instance shot, this time the water is reflecting the night sky and trees like a mirror. It was a gorgeous shot I just had to share. We were in the Temple of Fear in the Eidolon Jungle. To be honest, there were many moments of stunning beauty in that zone.
First words I heard when hubby saw this NPC, “Now that’s when big imp!” I was in the other room waiting for him to pull and he was right, he was a HUGE imp but alas he too fell to the might of our Paladin/Templar pairing.
Sunday evening eventually rolled around and we had to stop playing. I’m almost 93 and he’s about two and half bars behind me. I will turn off my experience until he catches up. That’s just one of the great things about Everquest 2, I can turn off all experience at will. We had finished up in the jungle and are about to experience Wurmbone’s End next.
A big thank you to the Everquest 2 designers and developers for Advanced Solo versions of instances. We are both very, very appreciative of being able to complete story lines and quests without having to do PUGs or distract guild members from their fun to come help us out. Please do more of this content, it is fun and challenging. There is a definite sense of accomplishment when we finish one of these instance.
