I’ve been a tad busy in RL, and as such haven’t posted(even though I’ve played) for a bit. Quick recap:
1) I made a Varanjar Rogue and took him to his home city – it was even more hardcore than the Orc starting area – and I didn’t receive weapon upgrades from quests by level10 so I was forced to take up blacksmithing to get him his first two dagger upgrades.
2) I made a Dark Elf Bard and took him to his home city – it was actually the easiest of the racial starting areas I’ve seen so far – but Haelifur is a vindictive God.
3) I pushed onward on Raitaro and finished up the solo quests in the Orc starter areas, which I have covered in an earlier post from before the reroll of Raitaro. I got the last piece of my Darkscale armor set – the chest piece. Apparently a helm and shoulders were out of the question.
Here’s how I look in the full set:
I petitioned some GMs, who were quite helpful about transferring my Avaram’s Messenger Bag to Raitaro. Hurray for great customer service: another thing which I didn’t have faith in SoE’s ability to get right. Maybe Smerdtard doesn’t touch Vanguard?
Note: Orcs are so hardcore, that we run out of solo quests by level12. Insane.
Awesome! Happy to see that SOE’s customer support is good in this case. And you’ve convinced me, my next character will definitely start in the hardcore racial starting zone. Whee!
