With all the pieces finally in place, I was able to do the last set of turn-ins yesterday and I received Swiftwind, the first Ranger Epic Sword. Now, I just need to kill Innorruk until he coughs up a SEoC and then I can get Earthcaller as well.

Too tired to really do anything imaginative, we went to the GoB raid on Ixi (x3) in Burning Woods. Actually, Finavar was already there from the Swiftwind turn-in, so it was easy.

When the raid started there were no monks on hand and I was the only Ranger, so I got assigned pull duty, which is cool. Unfortunately, the Cleric did the turn in before I was ready and no one had any idea *where* Ixi spawns. That was a little messy. The second time around (72 min later) was much better, they still jumped the gun on the turn-in, but I now knew where to look and I found Ixi right away and pulled him in. For some reason Pato wanted to watch the final pull phase, for adds, I guess. But, Ixi can see hidden rogues, so dead Pato. And almost dead Finavar. I turned around to see Ixi killing Pato, but that didn't take very long and I was too close now. I finished the pull with 300 hps. Unfortunately, the cleric in my group, Spiritene, healed me before the MA had agro, so Ixi killed her before he came all the way into camp.

Not pretty, but the might of GoB killed Ixi in about 20 seconds, so there were no other deaths. They were going to do Ixi again, in 72 minutes, but I couldn't stay awake after back to back nights of 1:30am, so we packed it in.
