Alt Rift

Last night in Rift was all about getting all 5 of my Dayblind Shard alts their River of Souls consolation prize pack. One of them got a Lorn disguise. Other than that it was the Grave Goods bag all round.

I had to get my one and only Guardian alt out of the past to get him the pack. I'd been dragging my feet, I find the Defiant starter area easier to get through. I'd previously had a Guardian on another shard, but I'd deleted it a while back. I did note once I'd reached the future in Silverwood, there were a few changes since I last started out in that zone on that other shard alt.

Anyway, wanted him to get to Sanctum, so did that, and he's only level 8, so that was fun!

A Waste of Time in Rift

Last night much of my time in Rift was not really that successful.

Maybe not all, got some achievements, and... Spent the rest of the time running up the tree in Auld Warden, Scarwood Reach. Which is a bit of a Guardian area. I was trying to get the Mushroom Soup Achievement, wasn't there to gank anybody... But was pretty much treated as if I was.

Oh well, the nature of PVP right. I ended up getting tired, gave up and went to bed.

Should those abilities be under the General Tab?

Homemade Rift Armory

Rift at this time does not have an Armory where one can show off, and compare stats. So I've made my own right here, well, the manual way. Current stats for my level 38 Bahmi Warrior. Useful forum thread at Riftgame.com, with advice on fixing the stats below.

Rift - Bloodwhisker

This is my pet! Fear her! No not really, I just wish she was my pet.

Rugged Rift Adventuring

On Sunday I did Iron Tombs for the second time, went a bit better this time around. Didn't wipe on the firey dude at the end. Came through with no deaths at all. Can't say the same for a few of my fellow raiders. And I partly blame myself, I think as a tank, I failed.

So last night it was back to resetting my roles and souls. Trying Warlord/Paragon/Paladin for a tank spec. Will see how that goes, just need to practice.

As for my other Rift adventures, last night after role resetting and making some 'Rugged Steel Sabatons' (blue item that gave me an achievement) I ported to Scarwood Reach, wondered around aimlessly, completed some quests, helped another player with their quest (made a new friend). Picked up more artifacts. Noticed even though I have the Paladin soul with that restore full health ability, despite being in many close situations, I never had to use the ability. Yes, I rock. Altogether a pretty awesome night in Rift.

Rift: Tricky Artifact Location

The other night in Rift, came across an artifact I thought was impossible to reach.
Check the sparkle above the 'W', that's not a star. Will have to click on the image to access the full size to see it. Might be able to see it better in second image. Third image, where I got a friend to fetch it for me. I cheer and watched, was much entertained. Lots of LOLs.

Clever Chromite Set

So there is my Bahmi Warrior wearing the Clever Chromite armor set that she crafted herself. All of it a Shard first, of course only because who would add 'intellegence' to an Warrior's armor.

Bit of a quick update... now up to level 33.

Foxsyd the Bahmi Warrior (Originally Posted 5/3/2011)

So, I have been playing in the world of Telara. I'm finding Rift to be a bit of a different game than World of Warcraft. I like both. Depending on my mood I'll be constantly switching between the two of them.

So far, on Rift I have a Defiant female warrior (Beastmaster, Riftblade, Champion) called 'Foxsyd', wish I hadn't named her that, but I've got her up to level 13, and I'm unable to change her name. So I'm stuck with a character with my universal login name that I've been using for the last ten years. I also suspect, that being the same name as my Twitter login, may be preventing me logging into Twitter from in-game which is a nifty feature of Rift.

Video Games... Totally My New Hobby

So, an update of my video game stuff… Maguire my human warrior is now at level 25. Has ventured into Duskwood, which is so very Sleepy Hollow. Surprised Maguire hasn’t lost his head yet.

Had become curious about the Rift game, have now pre-ordered it. Like a lot of PC games, it’s not Mac, I’ve now bootcamped Vista onto my Mac. Already have the Head Start Rift on my Mac…. Looking good! Looking forward to when I actually have some time for it.

WoW Update: Shenanigans with Maguire

Maguire had an easy one tonight... just went around killing boars for their meat, and mining copper ore. It was all about the professions tonight. Mining, Blacksmithing and Cooking.

Though later on there was some time for some shenanigans, like swimming above the water.

And encountering the biggest spider Maguire has seen yet! Scary!
