I finished off a couple of the Blackfeather Roost quests first in EQ today, just to get them out of the task list. Then I redid the anniversary fishing quest, since it’s fairly easy and profitable (nearly 4k plat and 2 AAs for only an hour or two of work).

Then I remembered that today’s the last day for the anniversary stuff, so I figured I should at least look into some of the fabled monsters. I don’t have a good group to help with the high-end stuff, so I consulted a list to see which ones would be soloable and drop stuff that’s actually interesting.

In the end I wound up doing the fabled versions of Tserrina (Tower of Frozen Shadow) and the spider queen (Crystal Caverns) for their robes, the warlords in Shadeweaver’s Thicket and the evil eye in Lower Guk for weight-reducing bags, and a handful of others that I ran across along the way (foreman and life leech in Crystal Caverns, the Ry’gorr oracle and chief in Eastern Wastes).

While I was in Lower Guk, there was only one other person around, so I made a tour of the various named spots and wound up getting a few items from them too, including a Shiny Metallic Robe (one of the first uber items!), and a few other pieces of junk.

And then I rounded out the evening by working on baking a bit. I had a ton of Hero Parts banked away, so I made Hero Sandwiches, which required more preparation than I expected. I only succeeded on about a quarter of the combines, since it’s a high-skill recipe, but I did gain four points of baking skill. Though I’m not sure four points is enough to justify the AAs I spent on allowing it to break 200…
