Friday (7 Dec) - Wild Family Has a level 90

On Friday night at 11:20pm, Plumrosefist, ie Fist, became the first member of the Wild family to reach level 90. It is also the first time anyone other than Wildshard had been the first to reach the latest max level. She also broke tradition by wrapping things up before the bell tolled Midnight. All of the previous max level achievements occurred in the wee hours of the morning.

Fist was still a good bit away when she got in game Friday, still only 57% of the way to level 90. She already had it in her mind that she was going for it, however.

As usual, her quest clues had petered out at one point and Fist decided she'd hoof it along the Great Wall to get to a new quest area. Patterned after the Great Wall of China, it was as tall as it was massive. It was a long, long, ground mount run to it's far end, and when she finally got to where she needed to get off the Wall, there was no way down. Undeterred, Fist climbed out on the outer structure of the Wall, tight roped her way around a small ledge (it was a very long fall if she slipped, and I had no idea how to retrieve the body if she did fall), and jumped down to a lower rampart. There was no way down from that rampart, either, since the single door would not open for her.

Fist studied her options, and then jumped from the rampart down onto some rocks. Two long falls, and she survived them both. From there she found another camp with quests to get her going again.

Her last big xp quest got her to 100% on the xp bar, but she was still short a few points to actually level. She was wrapping up a long chain. Each of the final quests sent Fist off to talk to someone, and gave very little xp, so Fist was literally having to creep up to her goal. It took the third little quest to finally take her over the top.

Bd and Lady Hunter were both in game, and enthusiastically congratulated Fist. We got to talking about old times and how both Wild and Bd were terrorized by Lady Hunter when she ran raids. She enjoyed the teasing, I'm sure. They're eager to get Fist into their dungeon runs and bring her up to raid ready status. Fist will still take her time. I'm still not sure just what Fist will be doing from here on out.

There'll be time enough for all that. Fist is just going to enjoy being a level 90.
