Congratulations to EverQuest on its Sixteenth year anniversary, I have actively played for ten of those years, the first six and then a five year break and now back at it. I do miss the good old days when everything was not readily available and you drew the hand maps and had to find a cleric or Necromancer to resurrect your dead body, if you found it!

I still enjoy the game and it has added a lot of new features to advance the game even if you do not do Raids.

Once again, Congrats EQ for sixteen years of fun!

Qindaar Osto, Erimus McCrusher, Wiberian and Derevaun.

Qindaar has become obsessed with finding page 3 of the Compendium.  So far he has managed to find Girztal the Attendant once and when he did Girztal was not carrying the page.  Since then countless hours have been spent hunting this guy down again.  The problem with spending too much time on this is no XP, the MoB’s are all to low and all it takes is a minor spell to take them down.  Qindaar can train the entire zone and wipe ten at a time with one blast, so the work is tedious at best waiting on the guy to spawn. Will give it a try one more time today, if no luck then off to regular adventures.

Last night Qindaar headed off to the Plane of Innovation for one last try at the last missing page he needed.  Almost as soon as he entered the zone he struck a jackpot, the final page to the Tome of Dark Power.  After handing in this book to the council member XP was granted and Qindaar went on his way.  He checked his bank and found he had one page to the Compendium, so ye went off to Dranik to see if he could get the other pages.  After a couple of hours he acquired one more page and he found the named MoB and killed him only to find that he was not carrying the page.  After a couple more hours Qindaar head back to the Guild Lobby without the third page.

Qindaar has been searching for the lost pages of the Tome of Dark Power. He has managed to locate seven of the eight pages to date, just one page still eluding his search.  Once this page is located he will return to the original journey he was on, the Hero of EverQuest Journey.  This means a trip back to the Fortress of Mech and the dreaded Steam Factory.

Qindaar has been neglected for several days do to a death in the family. Spent the last couple of days in Long Beach for the funeral and visiting with family. Will be back in the game soon. 

Qindaar is halfway through finding the missing pages to the Tome of Dark Power.  Doing the quest does not really add value to Qindaar’s power base but it does give you to opportunity to visit the lower Planes.  Been spending time in the Plane of Innovation, The Plane of Disease, The Plane of Justice and the Plane of Nightmare.

This has been a break for Qindaar to get away from the task line in the Steam Factory and the Mech Fortress.  Sometimes there are just too many things to accomplish in one area and you eventually bore of it, so taking a break gives you new insight into the zone the next time you venture in.  It is not unusual for Qindaar to have fifteen different task or quests to do in many different zones. Right now he is focused on cleaning things that have been started but never completed.  Need room in the bank!

Qindaar decided to take it easy last night and not venture into the Stream Factory.  Instead he decide to do something easy and gather pages for the Tome of Dark Power.  He manage to get two of the eight needed, he may just do that again tonight before attempting re-entry to the Steam Factory which usually means death at least once if not more.  Robots hit HARD!

Derevaun Seraun

Wanted to introduce one of Qindaar’s sidekick, Derevaun a level 85 Heroic Cleric – on the dark side.  Decided to run him with Qindaar today to try two boxing, running to characters simultaneously.  It is not easy when both toons are casters, but Derevaun can sit aside invis’d and get some XP off Qindaar.  Will post pics.

Today Qindaar is tasked with “Supplies for the Spies”, he has to travel to all the spots in the Fortress and deliver supplies to all the spies the Gurtrude has around and then at the end find and rescue one of them.  Qindaar has purchased the needed supplies from the Tinkerer Merchant in Cresent Reach and is now going to attempt to deliver them.This is one of the spies awaiting supplies.

Gurtrude the Spymaster

Qindaar finished up the quest line of Disrupting the Fortress and is now faced with five tasks from Gurtrude the SpyMaster.  Was getting all set to work on these when Vmalice invited Qindaar to a group to run Dailies, which was a good thing, it gave Qindaar an additional twenty-three percent in XP towards level ninety five.  He said we would run again tomorrow, which should level Qindaar.

The new tasks for Gurtrude are:

– Disable the Recycler
– Disrupt the Workshop
– Supplies for Spies
– A Slave to the Grind

These should be OK for Qindaar to handle alone, we shall soon find out.
