Yay, I got CowNoseTheElf D grade!

Actually, it's just CowNoseTheKitty's armor, and weapon. But hey, that's why investing in good equipment is worth it! You never know when you will use it next, and it often comes in handy more then once. (This especially goes for weapons in Lineage 2) Anyways, here she is decked out in her Manti with her awesome dagger!


Yay, nice shot!


Of course, I have to go test out my new gear!


I really like this picture...


For some reason this dwarf started messing with me. (Actually, he tried to pick up my drops and I killed him) But... wait a second, who is that in the background? That's right, I made another new character! You actually saw him yesterday for the first time! His name is CaptainBeefheart and he is going to be my Prophet. I like Abdul, but I want to try out a Prophet.

Some More EG Fun

EG, if you don't know, stands for Execution Grounds. The Execution Grounds are one of my favorite areas in Lineage 2. They used to be (and still are) one of the most likely places to run into a PK. I have been PKed, and PKed, a number of times here in EG. The monsters here are easy to kill and quick to level up on. The rewards are pretty good, you can get some D grade pretty easily. EG has a nice progression of monsters to level up on too, another reason why it is a good place to level up. (And why you often run into a lot of other people doing the same thing as you)


Death comes easy in the Execution Grounds. Especially to monsters.


I love this place!


Oh just another picture of a monster.


Alright, I think this is a really beautiful picture. Check out that sunset, and that view!

Rise of Kunark!

Well, I decided that I'm not gunna play EQ2 anymore. XD It's a great game and all, but it's just not really for me. A main reason, is I can't really afford it. College is just so dang expensive, and I'm kind of in the negative so it just doesn't feel right to be spending money on video games when I'm allready owing money to the government.

But... I got the new EQ2 expansion! It's actually pretty cool, and I got some nice screens to share with you all.Ahh, looking at these screens makes me want to play again! What a pretty sunset.Whee!
Whee!The Sarnak city is pretty gaseous.
Oh yeah, I will say that the Sarnak are an awesome race!
These guys are cool.
Ooh, pretty pyramid!
Look at that mountain smoke in the distance...
Another great sunset, I swear they upgraded the sunsets.
This is from an area in the EoF expansion.

Well, I love EQ2, and I might go back... someday! :D

Qalia is awesome

I really like Qalia. I think its my favourite continent so far. The sunsets are beautiful and the enviroment is great. I feel like a real adventurer out in the sun. :) I'm excited about the server merges it will really add a lot of people to the server. Targonor now becomes "B" server along with like 3 other servers. I think the B stands for Best lol. XD I just hope I can get a good house plot when they launch the new server caus its gunna be a land rush.

I played Cow Nose a bit and I started crafting (got to level 10 blacksmith) and while I was harvesting I saw some great sunsets.
I did a little adventuring and found this cool crab.
But the highlight of the week is I got my first boat! A very nice guildmate crafted it and gave it to me.
But I got kind of bored with being a Death Knight. So I went back to Tsabo. :) Here's a shot of the area where I have been hanging out killing treants and working on my harvesting.

I'm rich!

Haha, I got my first gold in Vanguard! And not just one gold... but three! I've been exploring Kojan with my ranger Tsabo doing quests and harvesting things. But when I hit around level 15 I found that I wasn't able to solo any of the quests I found. They all needed groups.

So instead I have spent a good amount of my time killing animals and skinning them, and from them I got some rare skins which I then sold for three gold! If you don't play vanguard then you might be wondering how much 3g is actually worth. (For example plat in EQ2 is fairly common, or Lineage 2's millions of adena) 3g is enough to get my my first horse 30 times over. Or it is enough to buy you two really awesome swords that would last you till about level 20. So I'm not rich yet but it's still a good chunk of money.

I've been hunting in the blighted lands. One of the first things I saw was this far-off volcano. I wonder what is in it? Or is it even a volcano?It seems like there is always something new and interesting around each corner.There is definitly something wrong here.
And onto a different adventure... I figured out that you have 10 slots for items to list on the broker per continent. I had quickly filled up Kojan's broker so I set off to find the other two exchanges.

I took a wrong boat and ended up on the Orc island north of Cai'Brail (the woodelfs home).While I was there I spotted a level 35 shaman... looking sharp!
After running from that orc I went back to my island on Kojon and found a peaceful beach.
Eager to make more profits I took a boat to New Targonor a city in Thestra the most northern continent. I found an exchange broker deep in the city's sewer system of all places and was able to list my goods there.

Finally back at home I was able to enjoy this nice sunset. I try not to post pictures that are too dark but this one is just so pretty.
