Mangling Yet Another Dungeon

Mangling Yet Another Dungeon

Sigh. Loramas Thalipedes (LT for short) is the gentleman that handles the class hall armor set on the Fel Hammer. Keya is working on the achievement, "A Classy Outfit." It is a critical element toward finishing her class hall armor set.
Keya has seven of the eight pieces of gear that she needs. The last piece is the leggings. To get them, Keya has to kill the last boss in eight different dungeons.

It looked to Keya that she only had to do one more dungeon, having plowed through the others while still questing and trying to get her Pathfinder stuff done. When she tried to collect the achievement, however, she was still short those leggings. She was sure she must have gotten them along the way, and figured she must have accidentally destroyed them. So she checked in on the Fel Hammer and asked the quartermaster for a replacement, which cost 500 gold. That didn't work, either. The leggings were locked and could not be purchased.

Keya would be getting mad about this time, but so much has happened she couldn't really muster up the outrage. Maybe there was a bug. Keya had read something about this achievement being buggy. It took a day and half for a Blizzard fellow to follow up on the ticket Keya had sent. He was very polite and checked on Keya's status concerning the achievement.

Sigh. The game master had the answer almost immediately. "I took a look and you are still one "final dungeon boss kill" away from completing the achievement. Keya sighed again. She has been sighing a lot recently. The bosses all have to be unique, so which ones haven't I done, Keya asked herself. The game master heard her mumbling and answered. "You have two dungeons left you can take, Black Rook Hold and Maw of Souls.

Keya tossed a coin, headed for the Group Finder, and selected Black Rook Hold (BRH).
Sigh. Keya knows where it is and has quested all around it. Now she must enter the dungeon, kill four bosses plus the final boss, Latosius.

The good news is that Keya managed to help kill all four bosses and managed to get lost only one time. There is a lot of going up and down stairs, and one set of stairs has large boulders rolling down them. She got pounded and lost a lot of time finding her way back to the group, which of course kept charging forward. Keya finally caught up with the group and managed to get in a few blows before everything died.

Keya's mind was still on being lost, and making sure that she killed that last boss, and about the achievement . . .  A player whispered Keya, asking if she could have it. Hmm? One of the players in the group had opened trade. Keya's gear is so far advanced compared to others in the group Keya had stopped bothering to look for goodies in these dungeons. So she let the trade go through. Yes. You know what comes next. Sigh. Keya gave her leggings away. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
If there is a way to screw up a dungeon, Keya will find it and make messes with it. Despite all that, Keya led the DPS, doing 34% of all damage.

Keya is pretty sure the game master will tell Keya she can still get her achievement. Do the Maw of Souls. It's really her only choice at this point. There are only three bosses (Ymiron, Harbaron, and Helya) and the map seems to show that the dungeon is outside. Keya is sure she'll find a way to ruin this run, too, but give her some kudos for not giving up. She will be off to Maw of Souls as soon as the kiddies wake up,come home from school, and dial up their computer.

PS - It's pretty funny when Keya thinks about it, the whole dungeon thing. Refusing to ever set foot in one at first, and now plowing them down with hardly a second look, yet still finding ways to goon them up and having to make multiple efforts. Sigh.
