I had actually tried Naigtal first and then did not realize the portals changed around every week, so then I did chunks of Val. Now, I gotta say, Kurn is not super well geared. It&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s sitting around 200 ilvl or anything, but I think he was high 240s\/low 250s. I think he&#8217;s now&#8230; ah, yes, 262. So that&#8217;s good. But it&#8217;s not the &#8220;recommended&#8221; ilvl for the &#8220;heroic tier&#8221; of the world.<\/p>\n<p>So I scoffed at that and went out and\u00a0<em>yes<\/em>, I did get my ass handed to me on occasion. But it was somewhat refreshing. I actually had to be careful. No charging in and AOEing All The Things. I used camo, recuperate, health potions, aspect of the turtle. It was good stuff. Got some hero crests, upgraded some things. I also love the blizzard in Val and god I wish it were snowing here in Montreal right now. It&#8217;s HOT and it&#8217;s only gonna get hotter and I hate it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topic 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My mage is my other 90 at the moment and for him, he\u00a0<em>is <\/em>ilvl 210. So it was normal mode for him. I LAUGHED at how easy it felt compared to poking around on heroic mode. LAUGHED. Didn&#8217;t die at all. Also did not get a ton of gear and crests that were helpful, but that&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Do I like either of the zones? Meh.<\/p>\n<p>Will I poke around at them every so often? Probably.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topic 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been running the Old Scarlet Monastery for a couple weeks now, building up a&#8230; well, healthy is probably not the right word for it&#8230; perhaps\u00a0<em>unhealthy<\/em> amount of items (mostly green, some blue) and recipes. And it&#8217;s finally starting to pay off. I collected like 70k from my normal bank toon on my own realm today! And I&#8217;ve had people buying stuff across a couple other realms. It&#8217;s been working out nicely. This is, of course, thanks to the inspiration from the guy who does the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BofadesGold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bofades<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@sokratezwow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soktratez<\/a> channels on YouTube. So thanks to him, whose name we don&#8217;t actually know. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been off work since St. Jean Baptiste (June 24) and I go back on the 2nd of July, after Canada Day, so it&#8217;s been a nice respite from the daily grind. I took my nephew out on Saturday and we had awesome shenanigans, and I&#8217;ll do the same for his younger brother in a month or so. I am, how you say,\u00a0<em>le tired<\/em>. I walked like 9km, all told! I do not walk a lot, so that was quite the shock to my system. \ud83d\ude05 But yeah, I haven&#8217;t gone anywhere. Tomorrow, I&#8217;m going to some gardens in the city with my partner, so that&#8217;ll be nice. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever gone to this particular place before. Just gotta make sure to coat myself in sunscreen, lest I burn myself instantly upon the sun touching my skin. :) What about you folks? Doing anything interesting during the summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had intended to post last Sunday. And then I had intended to post on Monday.
