Drawn By Fate - Monday Static Group - Status

[Adam]

I joined this static group when it rebooted in May of 2013.
Since then we have had players come and go, but the group has kept on going.
I wanted to have a new centralized thread to track this group as we start our next lives on Thrane.

---

When: Monday Evenings at 10:00 PM EST
Where: Thrane Server

Current Members: (Currently full group)

• Zanbaur - Leader
• Tarenn
• Zinfal
• Narcissist-1
• Willooh
• Bitemyaxe

---

Guidelines:
When the group started we were pretty strict, no auctions or purchasing gear, only use what we looted, but as we have accumulated past lives over the decades we are more relaxed now on most things. Just some general concepts:

• Run quests once only for levelling
• Quest difficulty R2 to R4
• Stay within the the groups level range (This means some holding of levels while we wait for our past life characters to catch up)

 

[Adam]

Zanbaur's past lives:

1. Half-Orc Ranger - Dual wielding melee DPS, think I had 6 Cleric levels for Battle Priest
2. Warforged Wizard - Force Specialization, lot of Magic Missiles, Chain Missiles
3. Human - Rogue / Bard - Trapper, also Swashbuckler, Melee DPS
4. Human - Druid - This was mostly Bear form
5. Human Rogue - This was the Inquisitive build with crossbows
6. Dragonborn Rogue - Vistani Knife Fighter, melee dagger build
7. Dragonborn Warlock - CC focus, Fey Pact, Enlightened Spirit

Current life is a Cleric based build probably going for a mixture of healing and ranged DPS.

August 25th, 2025

Summary: Last night was a bit worse lag wise, but we still managed to do most level 3 quests on Reaper 2. (The Captives, Where There's Smoke..., Kobold Assault, The Sunken Sewer, Missing in Action, Redfang the Unruled, The Swiped Signet, An Explosive Situation)

Zinfal was a scheduled absence, goal is to be close to level 6 or ready to take level 6 when looking at catching up.

September 1st, 2025

Summary: Last night my toon was unable to group up due to some error that had me listed as being teleporting. I used a backup character for the evening and we ran Waterworks, Sacred Helm and the first part of STK on Reaper 2. I will catch Zanbaur up in the next day or so. We will finish STK next week.

As a side note, I have now been able to access the airship and join a PUG group so my issue grouping seems to be resolved *crosses fingers*

We are also at a point were we take level 6 for next week.

Next Week: Finish Shan-To-Kor, start level 4 quests
Group Level: 6
Group Favor: 390
- Coin Lords to Trustworthy

[The Narc2]

Must say our last two weeks ran pretty smoothly, we only had one ten second lag spike.

 

[Adam]

September 15th, 2025

Summary: This week we did Irestone, Rest for the Restless, Depths series then the first 4 of Necro 1. We took level 7 in the middle of these too. Axe said he would be missing next week.
Lag for us was indeed fairly minor. Noticeable here and there but not enough to keep from playing.

Next Week: Being short a person we might power through Tangleroot for favor. There are also a few stand alone level 5 quests we could consider
Group Level: 7
Group Favor: 576

 

[Adam]

September 22nd, 2025

Summary: We were short one player(Axe) this week. We ran Tangleroot, Archer Point Defense, The Chamber of Insanity, The Lair of Summoning,
Guard Duty, Brood of Flame and The Stones Run Red. We also ran Kind of a Big Deal because someone was looking for loot from it.

We are at the point where we will take level 8 for next week.

Axe, just worry about catching up the quests you want for favor; note we will likely run Kind of a Big Deal on Epic later so no loss of favor by waiting.

Next Week: The Bloody Crypt to finish Necro 1, then a bunch of the stand alone level 6 quests, likely stepping up to Reaper 4 if everyone is there.
Group Level: 8
Group Favor: 744
- House Phiarlan to Noted
- The Free Agents to Famous

Next Week: May start with Chronoscope, then more level 6 like: Gladewatch Outpost Defense, Ruined Halls, The Forgotten Caverns, Caged Trolls, Purge the Heretics
