2008-02-19 Just Grinding

Sunday's run with the GF was more questing this time. A couple of players wanted to add another level or two before taking on RFK and no one really wanted to repeat any of the dungeons we'd already done so far. So it was off to the Hillsbrad Foothills to work on [The Battle of Hillsbrad] quest series, kill endless farmers, and skin lions and bears. The farmer farming was interesting, as the warrior and paladin would each try to outdo the other in seeing how many they could aggro at once by running and circling through the fields. Philly trotted along behind them, dropping heals on them to keep them going, and when the mobs were all collected together the warlock and mage would drop big AoE spells and burn them all down. We all had to collect 30 skulls each from the farmers, and it took us a good long while even using that method. Many of those farmers were so stupid they didn't even have skulls. We got a good ways into the quest series, but the battle with the dwarves in Dun Garok would have to wait another day.
