90 Days to the Apocalypse -- Day 13


I totally haven't been documenting my characters the last few days.  First, I bought an iPad over the weekend and I've been wasting time playing with that, and then last night I started another project to give away a bunch of the extra stuff I have in my various bases.  Full sets of ATOs for the most part, but some nice PvP IOs and a few purple sets and other useful things, hami O's, Obliteration sets, etc.

I've been thinking of the best way to do this for more than a week.  One idea was to hold some sort of contest to fully IO someone's character, and maybe have as many as three winners -- whatever build you want, money no object, but maybe a limit on how many purple sets you can cram in.  But that would have been a lot of work and coming up with a way to pick the winners was a problem, and having winners means you have losers too.

So instead I just decided to group things that I have that I don't need into lots and offer them up for free, first come first serve.  So a lot might contain a full set of a given ATO, or a full set of something like Obliteration, or maybe just an Overwhelming Force KD/KB IO or a Glad Armor +3 Def IO.  I made my post last night and soon had enough responses to claim just about everything.  I like this approach, it's easy to let people pick whatever they want from the list of what's still available, and even though I'm not giving anyone their dream build, I'm giving a lot of people something to help out a little bit at least.

So tonight I missed a Manticore run by friends because I was too busy making sure everyone that had replied to my thread got the stuff they'd asked for.  Then I missed an ITF.  And Double Experience has been turned on too, so that made me a little sad, even though I very much wanted to get my deliveries done (and that was fun to do as well!)

Later when I was done I was able to join a Moonfire, which is the WST.  The last time Moonfire was the WST during DXP was this last Spring, and it was almost perfect -- Moonfire is short enough to be run in about an hour, but long enough that you get a very good end-of-task-force experience bonus.  Add in the WST, and that bonus doubles.  Add in Double Experience, and it quadruples.  My nature affinity/water blast defender Forest Goddess started the task force at level 36 and I used an XP booster, and I did not actually level until we were fighting the AV at the end... but then I leveled 5 seconds before Arkhan died -- and then I leveled again with the ending bonus!  So that end bonus was worth a full level of experience (plus one bubble) at level 37.

I was level 37 for all of five seconds, lol.  :D

Didn't do anything else tonight but that was fun.
