Weekly update: I'm back!

Oh hello there, long time no see. My game play screeched to a halt with March madness (aka every single essay being due in one month) but now that school is practically done (minus those pesky exams) I've rushed back into Middle Earth!

This week I hit Kindred with the Wardens of Annúminas early on, mostly through questing. Apparently this region used to be tough to get through but with the new boat system it was very easy. Quest Rep stacked like crazy so this one was a breeze.

Today I hit Kindred with the Elves of Rivendell, something that took a bit of a grind. I killed what felt like a million wrights (it was over the deed limit that's for sure) but managed to finish it. I still have a couple of quests to do for the deed and half of book 4 so I could have waited for it, but I wanted it done.

Next up: maybe finishing up with Rangers of Esteldín tomorrow. We'll see, I might grind and I can always tailor for it. But starting Tuesday it's the Anniversary festival and I'll be focusing my attention on getting the mounts for that as well as some deeds.

Weekly Recap: Kindred with the Eglain

The Prized Eglain Steed

I wasn't expecting to finish the Eglain rep this weekend. I wanted to avoid crafting my way to kindred like I did with Mathom because that was a pain. I quested my way for most of the rep, but I'll admit I got tired of Lone Lands at level 34 and finished it up with some Hearty Onion Soup quests (only about 30 or so to finish up the rep). I still have to go back and finish a few deeds, mostly slayer ones but I'm not overly concerned about that. I also finished off book 2 so I'm that much closer to the Grey steed.

Posing majestically in the North Downs

This next week will be a lot slower for rep and leveling due to school being back in session. Poor Tig will be cooling her heels for a while, but on the plus side rested XP!
I'm debating about buying the Steed of the Khandolar in the shop, but am unsure as to whether or not it will come back. They also have four steeds on sale for around 1000 TP which I have. I might do one of the sale mounts because that way I'm not spending anymore real money other than my $10 a month subscription fee.

Goals:
Rep with the Rangers of Esteldin.
Rep with Wardens of Annuminas.  

Kindred with Mathom Society

Tigridie on her new mount

 I thought I'd start off my first post about my recent obsession. What is that you ask? Well that would be my darling little pony above! Her name is Mirth, and requires Kindred with the Mathom Society to get her. She's my very first rep mount so I'm pretty proud of her. It's took a lot, and I mean a lot, of Strawberry Desert Wine to get to Kindred. Especially because I went about it the not so smart way and just made them instead of questing for the extra bonus. Which would have required me to wait until level 30. Patience is not my strong suit. But that's ok, I managed to get a lot of crafting mastered while grinding towards this beauty.

Just look at her! She's perfect for my little minstrel. Next goal: Elgin rep grinding for their mount. Thankfully in that level range so doing a ton of quests to get that up before I resort to the Hearty Onion Soup way.
