The Chain Drop I Have Been Waiting For!

I have been very remiss in updating this log, but, for various reasons, it hasn't happened, oh well. Monday Krushh got back early from a vaction and wanted to raid. I had had a free weekend and spent it decadently exping, so I was really ready to raid. After some discussion, the BoT towers were selected and off we went.

I have been looking forward to the BoT towers ever since the last patch. Prior to that patch the tower bosses would drop a rune (I can't roll on, only level 65 folks), a spectal parchment (I can't roll on that either, level 63+ folks) and some key piece, or very occasionally an ornate pattern. Now looking at their loot tables on Allahkhazam, there should be some nice stuff there. Well, since the patch, they (reportedly) have been dropping an item from their loot table, and a pattern and rune every time. Each tower is essentially a seperate raid and not of them takes very long, so this is ideal for a weeknight.

Tower one was the Arena tower with Soandso Thunderclap as the boss. Never beat this guy. I had been here on one trip and we wiped twice trying, we were simply undermanned to be trying him. This time we probably had too many folks, close to 50. He got laid down fast and easy and dropped some caster item and an ornate chain BP pattern!

Now, I have been waiting for something to drop that is worth a damn for a long while and at the start of the raid I was tied for 7th for the most banked points in GoB, time to buy me something cool. So, I claimed on that. It ended up costing me 71 points, a bit much actually, I was planning on 50ish points, but the other contender had almost as many points as me so it got bid up a bit. Still, for someone who was borrowing a Tae Ew tunic, this is a huge upgrade! Check it:
