Lockdown

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.

Doing good, so far

I am running two reaper toons right now. A Sorcerer and a Cleric/Rogue/Wiz. Just in case a death occurs, I won’t have to start over from the beginning.

My cleric is up to 7 banking 8 with 3 reaper points [11k], the sorcerer has 2 reaper points and is going a little slower. I was running with the top player on the server earlier. Ion is an Aasimar Sorcerer who has TR’d twice and has close to 200k Reaper exp. I had seen Ionie die back in February, so I was surprised to see ’em this far ahead.

My favor guy, Ananzi, is level 10, sitting at 1k favor, and I am debating whether or not to try the level 6s out in The Twelve. I have seen a large number of death notices for those quests, especially the prison break one.

As to my trip to England, I remain hopeful that COVID-19 will go away by June. I am waiting to see if Delta or Norwegian Air decides to cancel my flights.
