+1 Greater heart of wood -- for me??!?

So there I was,  Running with the Devils on normal and in that teeny-tiny treasure chest in the stone gazebo? I found... a +1 greater heart of wood.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Here are my plans so far:

1. Brag to everyone I meet and spam my guild chat about it Done! and fun too.

2. Sell it. Gah! Everyone is interested but no one has platnum, or scales. It's an army of beggars! I know we dwarves are greedy and all but seriously, I'm not gonna sell this +1 GHoW for peanuts. (Anyone else on Orien and got plat? :D )

3. Reincarnate now! I could get Metamagic: quicken for heals and reshuffle my skills to get some Open lock to bypass the Giant on Epic! Von2.

3. Reincarnate later. In theory, If I got all my purchased content to Elite, I'd have enough to unlock champion 32 point characters plus another 100 favor to spare. And I've got enough TP that I'm ready to buy somethin when it goes on sale.  So I'd have all the skill and feat reshuffling from 2) and also some extra build points. Shazam! Only downside there is that I'll probably have my TR token BEFORE I grind out the favor from 1600 to 1750. Doesn't make much sense to spend two hearts (+1 greater, and then True) so close together.

4. Save it for later. A waste of a perfectly good bankslot if you ask me, but also insurance for if I accidentaly click the wrong trainer or somethin.

So assuming I don't find a buyer, I guess I'll plan on grinding out 1750 favor and upgrade Doomstone from 28 to 32 points. Then I'll level up my other slot with something pug friendly, just in case Mabar (or something like it) rolls around before I get Doomstone up to 20 again.

Ah well, I wish all my problems were this fun. :D

Requiescat in pace Mabar.

Well that was fun. I spent a week of play and an Epic! Token, but I've gained two cloaks and a level 9 nimbus wand. Why two cloaks? My Epic! cloak has a guard on it and my level 12 cloak is puppy safe. I haven't had a chance to try out the nimbus wand, but I think it will be a hoot on Korthos when I TR.

My favorite Mabar memory was when I pulled a win out of the jaws of certain doom. The caster at our lever died and it fell upon me, the fast ranger with a pos pos greensteel clickie, to sprint over and save him. Except that he was gone so I had to singlehandedly fight off the Night Gargoyles. Which again, was certain doom, until a caster sprinted over to save me. :D

Dragontouched leather armor

Looking forward to TR and some new adventure packs, I'm thinking of getting some leather Dragon touched armor because it works with Evasion and Dex in the mid 20s. The other options are the robe and outfit DT, but those only excell for Dwarves with more than 34 Dex.
Originaly I was gonna skip DT for some other content, but I hear that soon we'll be able to customise the colors on DT, and that makes DT very attractive. No pun intended.

Epic! VoN

I got epic debuffs. I wear the plate of destruction from HoX. It makes it so that anyone who attacks me gets -4 AC. Then I hit em with my Improved destruction for -8 AC that stacks. In my off hand I have an Improved Curse / Shattermantle to mess up their saves.

Those are all good and I love em for epics. But after they're proced, I'm not sure what to do next. I've got some Tenderizers that stun the mobs, but they never ever work against the red names as far as I can tell. I have an Improved Roaring that hits, but doesn't last very long. I also have some puncturing and other stat drainers, but they hit the Epic! debuffing limit pretty quick.

Not sure what to do next, I've got about 30 larges but I'm not sure what to craft. I feel ok with my current build, but I'm looking foward to TRing and getting rogue skills with the extra points.

New char: Twinkyzerger

So I've named my Turbine Point farmer "Twinkyzerger" in hopes of attracting vet TRs who want to escape Korthos ASAP. If nothing else, it will scare away the noobs who hate me and my 60,000 plat worth of twinky gear:

+1 Pure Good greataxe of flames. Only a tiny bit better than the starter axe.

+2 Adamantium Full Plate. This is great because so much Korthos stuff only hits for 3 points of damage but still interupts opening doors and pulling levers.

+3 returning throwing axe. For slimes. I don't want those grey oozes anywhere near my gear.

70 cure light wounds. I don't use them that often on the Korthos stuff, but I often get sidetracked by some group doing a higher level quest that I fondly remember and need heals for.

The Epic content in DDO is on sale.

So I've been enjoying running around as a level 20 ranger with a two level fighter dip, but I've got no Epic content. I've been finishing off the last couple of points of favor to buy Vale of Night when suddenly... there's a sale on VoN!!!

Now my only hope of snagging that sweet sweet 25% discount is somehow getting the last 75 turbine points before the sale ends. I've been speed-running Korthos for TP, but I don't think I can make it at this rate. The other option is to grind four points of favor on my Wizard, but whenever I log in Sarlona is dead dead dead, and anyway that character has already done leet for everything in sight.

It's gonna be realy close either way.

Free to play and Level 20

My free to play character is level 20 and lovin it! :D

He's a Dwarf Tempest III Ranger 18 / Fighter 2 specializing in Dwarf Axes and heavy armor. Currently I'm wearing Plate of the Defender from VoD. It's mithral and a perfect fit for my current Dex. Soon I hope to get Tharne's Bracers and then I'll use fighter and dwarf enhancements to accomidate the extra AC.

Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Turbine and the Defenders Guild. This is some of the best Videogaming Ive ever had. :D
