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

I’ve always liked traveling in Forochel (like Branick, I love snowy zones). Here’s a screenshot I took this evening.
