Actually very little grinding.
It was: Me and my Fat Fingeritis!
See a while back, before the DDoS attack on the forum a friend was tanking for me getting the coloured keys needed for the "Missing Part" quest. Took weeks because we did it when he had time, I was in no rush, and finally when I did get them the "trunk" that had the missing part said
SAY WHAT!!!!!!This looks useless, you decided to leave it!
Who said it was useless, I came here for that! Been here for a long time to get that! USELESS MY (behind)
So we go through the whole process again as I didn't need all the keys again as the other trunks were all open, took a few days because this was always when/if he had time. And again I see:
WHAT THE!!!!!! What's going on here!This looks useless, you decided to leave it!
That's when we find out you have to talk to both the human and the orc! WELL DUH! So off we go on a trek and talk to both.
Right that done, back into the cave and another few days off and on until "GOT THEM!!!", We both made a beeline for the room with 7 chests ... I picked the wrong door to enter; and ended up at Map 0,0 I think it was ... /msg'ed my friend "Wait!! I'm coming back" Again we start collecting just the keys to get past that door! Finally, AGAIN, I get them and enter the right door!
Went to the correct trunk - remember there are 7 ... click on it and the "Missing Piece" appears ...
I was sooooo excited I hit the [X]
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Sent a report into the GM's with /pos & /time and even took screenshots (2) of my bag full of keys just in case they wanted that too.
OF course that's when the DDoS hit and the game and the forums went down. The game came back first but with the GM's being extremely busy I had no doubt it would be a while. I even PM'd Ardesia and told her no rush I know your busy.
Well, yesterday was the day. LostKnight was just finishing up some crafting and came out of his house to find Ardesia there!
Hi!
Scared the {cough} outta me.
Things were explained and she mentioned that she had asked jrGM Akkillies to help, and he pops in, AWESOME!
Greetings we passed back and forth and Ardesia asked if I was willing to be 'teleported' to a place where there would be a monster I had to fight to drop the piece I needed!
'teleported' ... Oh I liked the sound of that so I replied:
Code: Select all
Beam me up Scotty!covered in blood, wounded, gasping for air and grasping my "missing part" in a death grip so tight that DEATH himself wouldn't get it away from me! NO ONE was going to get that until I could use it to complete the quest!*
Scotty then "beamed" me within feet of where I had been at first meeting. Tried putting the "Missing Part" in my house - not transferable - OK, then I can't loose it. My alt did what he needed to do, complete 3 quests that netted him a few levels as well. Logged and came back as LostKnight and completed the "Missing Part" quest that brought me to lvl 219 but so close to 220 that I ran home and got The Twins and went vlad hunting and in no time at all: it was 220! YES!
My thanks to GM Ardesia and jrGM Akkilles for a great experience! So excited about the whole thing I even forgot screenshots!

The "Beam me up Scotty" part was real, I really did say that!
