  • ESO and Rogue Trader hoorah!

 

Cyndars

  • Could FINALLY turn in tasks on my warden @ level 145 and, with Pineleaf’s loremaster, took on the Proto-creatures and conquered them ALL!
  • Emerallina can now craft some of the fancy Umbari guild jewelry (and basic Umbari heavy armor/shields), and despite what it looks like, the crit jewelry DOES have better stats. 
  • Tried ESO again and gained one level. 

 

Pineleaf

  • My minstrel reached level cap and improved her scholarship skills
  • My warden quested in Anfalas
  • In Dinkum, I won a fishing competition

Hello!

 

Last episode Crister shared that Yule was his favorite festival.  I, too, like Yule the best out of the festivals. This year I worked out a circuit to do the 10 quests for the daily that gets everything done in just under 20 minutes.

 

Question for Crister, do you have a particular routine that you follow in Winter-home to do the quests?  And if so, have you incorporated the passed-out-in-his-own-filth hobbit into said routine?
