I begin to feel like a news feed aggregator from the DDO forums now … :lol:
Well, today I managed to get into tier 1 favour of House Jorasco. But their main house is still empty, what I just cannot understand. Completely empty ! I had hoped this would change as soon as I had the appropriate favour …
The last fight deep in the bottom of the Duergar (almost spoken by the DM as "Dürgar" - if you need to know how the German "ü" is pronounced, listen to him, lol !
) mine was kind of a "hit & run" - or rather a "hit, die & run" work between the resurrection shrine and all of the Duergar next door (which stood open, of course), in which they fortunately could not see me and my Cleric hireling as well.
Dying and resurrection took place I think it was 3 times - for both the hireling and me. The optional "end boss" died surprisingly fast - perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the hireling summoned a "monster" of almost equal strength …
About dying …I dragged poor hireling Flower (yes, it's her again !
:lol: ) through half of the Haunted Library - until I could finally fing a shrine for her. I think i must redo this quest one day, because at one point the walls rushed past me, as I fell downwards … Totally unexpected.
But on the other hand that was kind of expected … Because of my "meeting" with the Duergar …
Since then, I have a brand new +4 two handed Greatsword (I think this is the correct English word for that ?).
And I tried the Easter Egg Search ! :lol: Well, that was fun ! :lol:
The reward was not so much fun, but still good enough for my Wizard.
And last : I think I saw another Dragon ! Its wings were barely visible, but this dragon was flowing around the boundaries of the marketplace ! I did a screenshot (I think I did far too many today, lol), but I won't post it here because you can only see a part of a wing. (It could have been the same dragon as well, I think.)
Edit : If you need a laugh : It's the
Health Neclace Of Death !!! *shudders*
This thread also incorporates a few serious comments by one of the developers on the matter - on how health is computed, to be exact.
Edit : It seems a few bits for The Abbot has been changed - from a discussion :
