Vanguard: Giddy Up
Things are progressing well in Vanguard. We’ve ran a couple newbie dungeons, died a few times, and had a good time. The loot drops are treating us well in the equipment department. There seems to be plenty to keep everybody busy. Mike and I have our level 10 horses. Mark will be there soon.
There is a dungeon near, by the Human starting city, called Riftseeker’s Torrent. I went to take a look-see. The entrance is in a cave with a portal at the end. When you get close to the portal you get a message that says something like, “A voice in your head says: enter password.” While I was pondering that, the cave started re-popping. I fought my way out and parked in safe area to research.
I’m kind of assuming you get the password at the end of a quest - probably from the Human town. I found a German website with, what clamed to be, the password. I wrote it down carefully, it’s gobeldy goop, and headed back in. I typed it in carefully and then, while wondering why nothing was happening, was transported into a long room full of mobs. The mobs next to the entrance were level 9. I’m not sure how much challenge they will be to a group of three uber level 10s. We’ll see Monday I guess.
I decided to gate/hearth stone/bind stone out and was in the middle of that process when I was attacked by a wandering mob. Surprisingly, being attacked didn’t stop me from leaving.
I’m trying to make a little money in the auction house. The problem is I have no idea what the demand is. I placed two stacks of 10 Copper Ore up at the lowest price. This morning it still hasn’t sold. There was one stack of 10 substantially below my price, and everybody else’s, so I bought it. I also spent some time collecting more Copper and I put another stack of 10 up. I’m not sure anybody has the cash to buy their raw material at the auction house yet.
