Rift: Crocnard Hunter

Your all jealous right? No? Oh your boring! ='[

Anyhoo - Yes I managed to get this wonderful beast today after finally completing the Water Saga quest line... (Silly bugs and hotfixes >.<)

For those whom don't know much about this quest line it is a high level quest line that starts once you complete on Abyssal Precipice on either normal (or expert if your totally epic). I don't know much about the Guardian version of this quest line (as they suck - and I only have a level 50 defiant character). Once you have started the saga you must complete the 3 acts (of quests) before you can get MrCrocy. Now these acts takes you back and forth across mainly between Iron Pine Peak, Moonshade Highlands, Freemarch and Shimmersand, which means it can get quite annoying going back and forth (especially when your feeling really lazy but are stuck due to your Soul Recall on cool down... Grr!)

It is mentioned that for some parts your need to bring a few friends, this is referring to the couple of Expert instances you have to gate-crash before you can progress. I survived by pretending to be a DPS in the T2, how the tank did not get rid of me I shall never know... Also, there are 2 'dungeon-boss standard' monsters you have to kill in the open world to also continue your quest - you cannot 2-man these! Myself and Friz tried... and failed miserably...

Enough of that - you don't really need to tell me all the little details of the water saga when you have it already on ZAM. In the end you collect a total of 3 new titles, 1x epic helm, 1 epic shoulders, and the Crocnard mount.

Titles:

Yam the Soggy ~ Tideweaver Yam ~ Yam, Lord of Madness

Helms:
A choice of 9 helms
Shoulders:
A choice of 9 shoulders
Mount:
Crocnard

Overall I found the whole quest saga very en-lighting and if you've always wanted to know more about the Faceless Man (Defiants) then this is perfect for you. I'm sure the Guardian version is just as en-lighting! Good luck to those whom are still trying to complete this saga - it really isn't the easiest to complete if your a true casual player and are not very interested in instances and gearing up to high standards - but I believe anyone can complete it if the work at it.

Thanks again.

Toodles for now.

Rift: Lucky Surprises

Not everyone is meant to be happy when they receive a restraining order in the mail... Until you find out it is this Restraining Order.
Yes you must've guessed it - I got the stalker title. Is it that bad I've made this post just to brag about it?

It makes it slightly better when you retrieve a shard first on your alt's shard. =]

For those who don't know about this special title you get it by taking part in a Rift Community event such as 'Where in the World is Elrar?' which was really easy if you ask me. Although if your not staring at Facebook or have twitter attached to your account it could possible be pretty hard to find out quickly when the event has started - and then possibly end up missing out. If you are successful with the event or any of the other events you would receive an in-game mail within the next week - like the one below:

The Trion crew must've had many giggles thinking of the name of the item which gave you the title.

So I got this lovely surprise last week after believing that I had the wrong scenery for the competition, but today I finally got Hoppy, Harbinger of Regulos!!! Took me all the way from head start until now to get this little bugger - even after being part of practically as many invasions as I could've joined.

So yeh - now I'm pretty chuffed, and it's not even the end of the week!

Now Trion listen to me! Hurry up with EU's 1.4 patch! Love you Trion ~ really x

Toodles for now.

Life: Merchandising Microsoft

Okay, it's been a while since my last post and I apologise. I've been busy.. erm... playing games xD

As you guys possibly know from one of my past 'Life' posts that I luckily got the job which I recently applied for, and last Wednesday I had to go on an all-day training day to learn what I actually have to do.

(I need to stop over editing most of my pictures...)

If you can't see very well on the images our new tops each say 'Microsoft Student Crew'. And if you couldn't see what we are or who we work for, I'm sure the huge logo on the front, each arm, and the back of our top will make any bystander really notice who you are. Oh and also this is not all of the 'crew', this is only a small selection whom went to the Birmingham training day.

Our purpose is to 'sell' Microsoft in any way shape or form really. Especially to new students hoping to leave the comfort of their homes and set sail for university life. And that's it! Not bad for a first job right? Stand around looking pretty and talk a lot about something I use every day. Oh and I got a free LifeCam Cinema to demo with and keep afterwards. Good times. =D

Panorama view... It has its benefits - but not when one of the heads (third from right) ends up looking rather dodgy. Oh (btw) the shortie is me if anyone was that interested. xD

Toodles for now.
