Lockdown

Leave a comment

Update: When I wrote this, my employer had said there was a lockdown. There is not currently.

I just received an official-looking document to carry stating that I am an essential person doing something important. Basically, I am allowed to go to work. I am allowed to leave my house.

I live in North Carolina currently, and the governor has issued a lockdown due to Corona-chan (Covid-19).

I was hoping to get paid to stay home so that I could grind a bit more on the Hardcore server. Yesterday I only managed to get 40 favor. I ran Tempest Spine and the two Dragonborn quests.

Ananzi is up to level 15, and I expect to farm Sharn on normal to get my Esoteric set items. That should give me an edge when I work on the 11’s and 12’s.

Brioche is still level 9, I am focusing on the Favor reward before trying to hit 10 reaper points, just in case I die again.

Hardcore progress

I have moved into Epics on the hardcore server. I am just bumping around Borderlands right now.

I stayed in the Heroics yesterday while I farmed Dreaming Dark for one of those Vibrant Purple Ioun stones. It took 18 runs to finally get it to show up. I almost completed my Quori monster manual deed in the process. I now have an Unsuppressed Vibrant and a Pale for the 50 charges of Absorb Magic.

Additionally, I reached my 1750 Favor reward and got the Bone Skull Helmet. It looks kinda silly on the Dragonborn, sort of reminds me of a cow skull on the hood of a car. After taking 20, I also received my Season 2 Sash, which is gray and features a skull with the numeral 2 at the bottom.

My favorite toon is all set to go at level 7. I have the full Red Fens gear set on him, and I have decided to level to 12 as a Sorcerer. That’ll get me my Chain Lightning, and then I can take 2 levels of Rogue for evasion and 4 levels of Paladin for the improved Saving throws, which will utilize my high Charisma score. With those splashed in at later levels, I can contend with the rising difficulty of the Elite dungeons, where I may not 1-shot all my targets.

For Gozoh, my Reaper toon, I intend to stay in epics until I have completed the Magister Epic Destiny. Although I do not intend to do an Epic reincarnation this time around. This will just give me time to farm tokens of The Twelve and grab some more gear for the Favor guy, for when he gets to Epics himself.
