Qindaar is just six XP percentages from level one hundred, he should easily accomplish this tomorrow.  He is still finding it difficult to pick up on the Hero’s Quest he was working on.  It seems that the game is skewed that as you near one hundred the lower level MoB’s give less XP but hit harder, so what is eight levels under you hit like equals.  This is making it very difficult to solo.  Since my guild is a raid guild and I live on the West Coast I rarely get a chance to participate.

Tomorrow will be a great day when I hit 100!!!

Qindaar went back to working on the Hero’s Quest once again after achieving enough XP in level 99 to battle in Sarith, City of Tides. These MoB’s are seven levels below Qindaar but hit like equals, obviously this is not a zone to solo in as a Wizard until you have sufficient XP. Another thing that makes this zone difficult for a soloing Wizard is the fact that the MoB’s all summon, so there is no root and nuke because they pull you right into the battle.

It is nice to get into a new zone to work after spending so much time in Shard’s Landing and running dailies.  Dailies are still a good source of XP even at level 99 but it is slowing down.  I imagine once Qindaar hits 100 dailies will no longer be worth running.

Back to battling in Sarith and hopefully level 100 in a weeks time!

November 18, 2015
_____________________

A goddess wakes and gazes into a looking glass. The reflection of her true nature fractures and breaks.

Even as the looking glass shatters and the world around her dissolves, Anashti Sul only looks deeper still into the fragments as they drift away. When her fractured mind glimpses her surroundings, she discovers that she is adrift in an unknown time and place where gods and goddesses maintain direct influence over Norrath. A hunger for power wells within her, having passed many an age with no power at all and an upstart sitting in her place. With a whole new realm before her, she resolves to rule again!

Qindaar went to work again today to increase his level to get back on track to working on his Hero’s Quest.  He managed to reach seventy six percent progress towards level ninety nine. It will be a pleasant day to break one hundred for sure but need to stay focused on this next level.  The goal is to reach ninety-nine by the end of the week which should not be an issue if I manage to eek out about half an hour to forty five minutes per day.

Qindaar tried to get back into the Quest he was working on until he needed to level more.  Unfortunately he still has not achieved a high enough rank to continue.  So far he has gotten to sixty eight percent into level ninety eight hopefully by the weekend level ninety nine will be achieved.

Qindaar leveled to ninety eight today, one of the fastest leveling feats yet. He worked the hot zones daily for half an hour and managed the feat in two weeks time.  Now he should be a level high enough to pick up on the Hero’s Quest once again.

Will start out tomorrow on regaining momentum on the Hero’s Quest once he purchases his level ninety eight spells.

Qindaar has managed to continue his XP improvement after getting out of level 96, he is now 13% towards level 98, a big improvement over the progress through the last level.  Managed to play an hour today with no deaths as opposed to yesterdays 4 deaths.

Qindaar has broken free of the hell level and has four percent XP under his belt into level ninety eight.  Levels are getting tougher and tougher to solo in so may need to reach ot for assistance.

In the meantime, Daybreak games as released a new patch.
