Week In Gaming
Aerindys
- Pulled in another Level 120 character to help with the Dol Amroth City Watch Dailies for the tokens that are not bound to character and got a few cosmetic pieces I had been working towards.
- Other games: played some more Civ 6. Other than that, it was a light gaming week for me this week.
Celebathien
- Attempted the Ill Omens event for the first time. That’s fun.
- “Have you heard of the Barrow-downs?” asked one of the lost merchants – when we’ve come out of the Barrow-downs. NOPE! What’s that? Also: forgot my LM wasn’t my Champion once or twice. Oops. (Academy)
- Khelevorn is on the grind. Scrolls. Must go up to level 69. You know what else grinds? My gears. Sea salt too.
Gwaerendes
- Didn’t do much in Lotro this week.
- ESO: Tribunal Festival dailies, and the Shiny Duo are finally earning Champion Points.
Sanswinda
- Went warging.
- Visited Tom Bombadil during the field trip.
- Learned more about Harrowstorms and did some Tribunal Festivaling in ESO.
Teriadwyn
- Missions, some Ill Omens, and warging, oh my! Yes, Cord, we are serious about creep housing.
- Finished the Heart of Evil DLC for Craft the World, kicked some evil elf butt!
- Got the worst start ever in Civ VI, wandered around for better than 20 turns before settling.
Pineleaf
- My Crickhollow warden completed the Ill Omens event for this year
- My Anor warden finished defending Minas Tirith and awaits the arrival of the Witch King
- FInished a Charterstone Digital Edition campaign
