Hmmm … Where Was I?
Well, Fen is at a perpetual 114, I got tired of dying.
Briden is about to take the boat to Mirkwood.
Early is ready to start dailies in Minas Tirith.
Andy is kinda playing catch up but is working in Ithilien, heading back to Osgiliath.
Brandy Fen is half-way through Mirkwood.
Darpheren is sort of in the same place as Andy but has a camp site in Osgiliath to make things a bit easier. Fen, Andy and Dar have all finished the Epic.
Fen, Dar and Early are all 120 now. Early needs to do the TG solo and will be finished with Ered Mithrin. Now we’re just trying to gear up.
Brandy Fen has just finished Wildermore and is already at level 117 because she participated quite heavily in the last two festivals for crystals. Her bow only needs one more crystal but lots of scrolls and she still doesn’t have a club. She can get a sword but I’m holding out for that 5% damage bonus. She has a while before worrying about it (at least 600 scrolls-worth of time, lol). Valar ‘toons are a great idea but I’ve decided to keep going as if I didn’t Valar her. She didn’t buy the trait points, she’s earning them, and she needs the rep so she can get some of the essential items (LI titles, ports, LI scrolls, etc.)
So now I have two more 120s. Brandy Fen is 120 and working her way through the Vales, Fen and Early are doing the dailies, Dar is in about the same place as Brandy Fen and Andy is finishing Mordor. How did he get to 120 without finishing the areas? I don’t remember doing festivals with him. Briden is holding at 84 until I get the big guys through the Vales, he doesn’t have enough room in his bags or vault to go questing. They keep developing more and more resources to use and nowhere to put them. Ark Fen is at 106 and will soon be working on the MT dailies. Andoven, Early, Briden and Fenpoppy of Crickhollow, Fenpoppy of Brandywine, Darpheren and Fenpoppy of Arkenstone. Three servers, 4 hunters, dumb me.
I have 5 characters at 130 now but none are geared up. Arkenstone Fen is about 123 and Briden is 104. It’s a lot of work to manage all these guys, which means, they’re leveling and working on their LIs instead of working on getting other good gear. Crick Fen is still my main and is the farthest along on quests and gear and has very few deeds left before the 130 areas.
I’m playing on four servers now with Nimil the Loremaster on Treebeard and, of course, stuck at level 65 waiting for an expansion. Early is 140 and finished with Gundabad on Crick. Fen-C (for Crick) is 130-something and just finishing Mattugard. Andoven, also 130-something, is in Mordor and hasn’t moved at all except for tasks in almost a year. (I was deathly ill over the winter but not Covid, maybe whooping cough?.) Briden is still in Gondor. On Brandywine, Fen-B is 140 and working in Deepscrave. Arkenstone has a surprise with two new Valar ‘toons, I upped Borim the hunter, who is one of my oldest ‘toons and originally from Crick like Darpheren. I upped him because he’s a scholar and I need his skills. Melosong is a minstrel and my only non-hunter on Ark. She’s fairly new being only a couple years old and started as an LP ‘toon. She got the 120 Valar and I love playing her. Fen-A is 130-something but I mostly use her for resource gathering and deeds. Darpheren is my lovely elven hunter on this server who is still working in Mattugard at level 140. Being sick over the winter made me realize that there are more important things than games and all my guys are suffering but I still enjoy wandering Endor (Middle-earth).
