Aion Monday: Aug 14th, 2017

     This is my Aion character Milaea.  I created her on a whim, as a bit of a joke.  Had no intentions of leveling her past the starting zone.  She is currently my highest level character, and essentially my main.  I don't think I would trade her out for the world, as she is one of my favorite characters to play.




     It's funny how things work sometimes.  I've deleted several characters that I thought I never would.  The one character I thought would be the easiest to switch out, and I can't do it.

WoW Weekends

     So the last of my Throwback/game specific days is going to be called WoW Weekends.  Now normally I will be posting WoW Weekend stuff on Fridays, but I may do other posts over the weekend that correspond with WoW.  Now that does mean today's post is technically a couple of days late, my apologies.  I had some RL issues that kept me from the computer, and I'm looking into what I can do to keep RL interruptions to a minimum.  Anyways here are the my throwback screen shots for WoW.




     I know that last picture was only from a month ago. I accidentally put it in the folder, and didn't feel like trying to replace it.  Plus I really like that picture so I don't mind posting it again.  I will be trying out bloggers post scheduling feature for tomorrows Aion Monday.  We will see if I like it, and if I'll use it again after that.

Rift Wednesdays

     Alright so second throwback/game specific posts will be Rift Wednesdays.  Here are some throwback screen shots to get things started.


     These ones go back to 2014, even though I began playing a few years before that. 


     So my plan is to post anywhere between 2-6 pictures, depending on how many pics I have in the folder I'm pulling from.  The captions, and posts will depend on how much time I get to prepare the post.  These last couple I haven't had a lot of time so there isn't as much content to go with them.  As time goes on, I plan to improve on that.  For now though I hope you all enjoy the pics.

Aion Mondays

     I wanted to do a "Throw Back Thursday" thing, with my old gaming screen shots.  I have been wanting to do some day/topic specific posts, so I'm kind of going to combine the two.  I've picked three days where I will do posts for specific games that I play, including/starting with old screen shots.  My goal is to start with the pictures, and then expand from there.  The first set that I will be posting each week is called "Aion Mondays."

Nytelynn my first Aion character I created back in 2012.

     I want to find more than just pictures to add in.  I'm sure I have stories, laying around somewhere.  Either as fan fiction, or as RL gaming stories, and character profiles.  I don't know at the moment, but this is a start for now.

I only got to level 14 (I think) on her, before re-rolling on another server.
I finally deleted her last year.

     I could also make new fan fics, and character info based on old pics too.  I also want to add fan art at some point as well.  Well that's enough out of me tonight, we'll see where this idea leads me.

RL Chaos

     So I just wanted to apologize for not being on lately.  My Roommate and I just moved at the end of last month.  Between having to thoroughly clean our old place, and all of the work we've had to do with the new place I haven't had a lot of time to do anything else.  I have started watching season two of "Seven Deadly Sins" on Netflix.  Though I've only gotten to episode three, I think.  I'm pretty sure they don't have the full season up yet so I don't mind taking it slow with that one.  I also learned about a new manga/anime today called "The Ancient Magus' Bride" which looks kind of interesting.  I definitely have quite the list of things to watch/read building up.  Maybe I should make an actual list, and post it on here.  That could be rather entertaining.  Anyways just wanted to pop in, and give a quick update for now, talk to you all again soon.

Finally...

     I was finally able to find some Monarch Topaz, to make my Magnificent Flying Carpet.


     Feels like I've spent forever trying to get mats for this, even though it only took a couple of days.  What can I say I'm impatient when it comes to getting stuff done.

A Busy Week


     I hope all the "World of Warcraft" players out there had fun during the Fire Festival.  I've had a lot going on lately, so I really didn't get to do much for it.  I could have tried to get some of the new stuff this year instead of the mount/pet farming I did, but I couldn't help myself.  Any who this week has been full of need to do's, so there isn't much to gush about.  I spent the better part of a day working on my BE Priests tailoring, and getting materials for missing profession transmogs.  A lot of RL stuff like work, bills, cleaning, errands, and grocery shopping also happened this week (more than usual).  The only exciting thing that has really happened was going to Faire this weekend, which I'm still recovering from I feel like.  
     I've decided to send Pandraea (my Bloodelf Hunter) back to the Broken Isles, to continue questing there today.  Needed to use the RDF to finish a couple of quests that I have been pushing aside.  I don't mind the LFR system for leveling lower characters, but I hate trying to use it so close to end game.  If I didn't know any better, I'd say Wrath and Cata gave me a bit of ptsd with this feature.  Thankfully all went well, and I can now move on to the next zone.  Hopefully things will calm down for a bit now, and I'll be able to post more.  This is going to have to be it for now though, so I hope you all have a great week.  See you all next time.

Happy 4th

     Just wanted to say...


Hope Everyone has a Great Day!


Here is an awesome fireworks display someone named Lee Ray made using Aion music. Thought it was worth sharing.

World of Drops-craft

     To make up for not doing much yesterday I thought I'd jump on WoW real quick.  Ended up playing most of the day, and only just stopped a little bit ago.  I've been doing mog runs along with mount/pet farming in Northend.  Today I decided to run through Ulduar, and I'm so glad that I did.  Besides all of the mog gear I got for my Hunter, I also got these guys.



     There was a Sanctum Cub that dropped as well, but I already have that pet so I didn't take a picture.  Mimiron's Head didn't drop, and I had planned on stopping for a break.  Then decided to jump on my DK to check mail real quick.  Well I kind of forgot I had her at Wyrmrest, so of coarse I had to try Obsidian Sanctum real quick. I blame the Twilight Drake dropping, as the reason I spent the next two hours attempting to farm more mounts.


     It didn't help that the Azure Drake dropped for my Druid, but once again its something I already had. So, all it really did was convince me to keep testing my luck.  Even now I'm considering jumping back on to see what more I could get, but I do have other things I should at least try to do.  Maybe its best to just allow myself time to enjoy these little rewards.

Achievement: First Post

     So I considered making a long introductory post, but I think my description header pretty much says it all.  Since most of my day was spent cleaning, I really don't have much to talk about anyway. Except, I did watch a movie tonight that had my inner 90's child glued to the TV once more.
Its Morphin' Time!
