Time to work on these Lucid shards for the VT key. Vanelina and Turgut grabbed me and we headed to DSP to kill tribals and try to get the hoppers to spawn since they drop shards more commonly. Bianca wasn't home for some reason and so, I dual boxed her since most of this was green. I got Gaerett to join us and he mass pulled while Turgut and Vanelina AoEed the results. The best part came after sitting around deep in the caves chatting and such and waiting for respawns. After a while Gaerett goes off and says time for a run to the entrance and back. He is gone a bit and the says in group, "13". To which Turgut says, "no way." Gaeretts health takes a bit of a bump and her replies, "13" clearly too busy to bang out any real response. Before long he showes up with 13, basically all the tribals from the entrance to the main cave. Which we then dispatch in an amazing display of carnage. By this time I have Bianca's hot keys setup and she is AoEing in synch with Turgut, it's cool. Two shards dropped just on that pull. We never did get the hoppers to spawn, but we did get all three shards we came for, so all was good.

Then we set out for Seru to get the shards we needed there (5 in all). I had never been to that area of the zone, but I have long been interested in killing those sanctimonious bastards, so it was satisfying. It took a couple of hours to get all 5 shards, but we did manage it. Also, got about 1500pp in cash (those boys are LOADED).

Now, I have 3 shards and the orb. I plan to be done the key (minus the emp piece) by the end of June.
