Inktu'ta -- It didn't look like we had the horses for this when the raid started, but enough folks joined in while it was in progress that we completed this event probably the cleanest we have ever done it. It's one of those things that you can read about on the web but until you are actually running for your life from DT mobs, you don't "get" it. Just about everyone has done this one now and things are pretty smooth.
For once the trash mini-names dropped armor instead of the useless DoT shielding augs too. Bianca got Gaelin's Woodland Sandals for 80, a bit more than you would normally want to pay, but we are not wasting a lot of time farming Qvic these days, so you got to take what you can.
I was looking at the EQRankings site. I am now #3 on Morell-Thule for rangers, HP-wise with 8200 odd unbuffed HPs (I actually see more like 8600, but I am not sure Magelo properly accounts for DoN and stuff like that). In just a few months in Triune I have lept up from #23, pretty cool. Looking over the gear for the two Reviction rangers ahead of me, they don't have amazingly better gear than me. What they do have is HP augs in like every slot whereas I have a lot of regen and ATK and only a few HP augs (mostly the smaller ones too). That explains the 1300 HP jump between me and them. That is too high a cliff to climb just with gear. Even raiding as often as I do, it will take a few months to replace the gear I need. So, I need to start collecting HP augments. Even though my slots are almost all filled, there are several augs that I could see myself dropping. So... When the Cracked Sandstone of Fortitude dropped as part of the loot from the mites event and no one looked interested, I grabbed it for 10 points (the min). OK, not a lot of help, but it's 40 HPs and goes into an empty slot too.
We were on time and it finished late enough that we didn't do anything afterwards, so 14 points for us.
