Powerful Trinkets

PS - Hope everyone had a great Christmas! We were stay at homes this year and really enjoyed going to local events and hanging out with friends.

Now back to business. Sistaphilia has given up worrying about things she can't do anything about, such as the dungeon block that keeps her from pursuing her professions. There are plenty of other things a level 110 can pursue. Her favorite at the moment is chasing down special quests open only to level 110s. Many such quests give large amounts of artifact power, gold, and sometimes gear.

Early this morning Sista saw that the elite Ealdis had made an appearance at the Starsong Refuge in Val-sharah. This is a special, level 110 elite, and a tough one. Sista hustled to the area, buckled up and gave battle. She died, having done only 8% damage before falling. That was okay, though. She drew the attention of other players in the area, and soon there were six of us ripping away at the elite. Ealdis fell and Sista walked away with a new, powerful trinket.

Sista had previously earned one strong trinket, the Three-Toed Rabbit Foot at i810. Her newest bauble doesn't have much of a name, "Nightmare Thorn," but that trinket weighs in at i825, the highest level piece of gear she owns. Adding that trinket put her overall gear score over the top at i801. Special quests such as these are her best way to advance. Sista's new goal is to get all of her gear to i800 or better.

She needs to upgrade her necklace, trousers, cape, and both rings. Not even Chaitee's deep pockets can cover the heay cost of buying that gear from the Auction House. A quick assessment costs out at around 43,000 gold. Chaitee is always on the alert for a bargain to come her way, but so far the prices have been out of Sista's reach.

An even tougher problem is her weapons, Claws of Ursoc, which are only i788. Her artifact is a mess, quite frankly, and she is only now trying to straighten it out. She may even have to destroy some items in order to set things right. That will take time and a whole lot of AP.
