Woo, Raiding

I just spent ~15 of the last 48 hours doing Operations--which I guess maybe doesn't sound like a lot on paper, but that's more than most guilds do in a week.

MoX raided Monday night, since we took Valentine's Day off last week, and waded through all of 16-man Normal and Hard Mode Karagga's Palace (on Lanoxin for the former, Zofran for the latter).  Then, after we were done, I caught a group looking for DPS for Hard mode 8-man Karagga's Palace, so I went along on Voltaren.  Group was a handful of dudes from a guild called Epk along with a few PUGs including myself.  Made it through KP then spent some time wiping to their lockout of Hard Mode Eternity Vault which was cleared up to Soa.

Tonight (Tuesday) was a normal raid night for MoX; went through all of 16-man Normal and Hard Mode Eternity Vault without much trouble (this time on Seroquel for the former, Zofran again for the latter--had 3 pairs of IA Rakata gloves drop from Annihilator and I was the only one of the four of us who needed 'em who didn't get 'em, but karmic justice pulled through and hooked me up with some Rakata boots and chest, woo).  By the time we were done the Epk guys were looking for more DPS for an 8-man HM EV run and, while I was trying to decide if I wanted to do it again, Clausy sent me a tell asking if I wanted to come along.  He told me they were going to stop at Soa, which greased the wheels enough for me to agree to come along on Voltaren.  Everything went pretty smooth except for a long string of bugged-out attempts on the Ancient Pylons.  We did go on to put in a few attempts on Soa, but I cut it short and called it a night since I didn't want to cap off the last two days of raiding by wiping on Soa for another hour.

The Epk guys are a pretty cool bunch; always good to have an entertaining group to roll with to pass the time raiding.  They use Teamspeak too, which feels like an archaic alternative to Ventrilo and Mumble at this point--I forgot I even had it installed.

Random screenshot I took mid-Soa attempt (Monday) so I wouldn't forget the name of the guild:

Sorcerer's up to 38.  Hoping to have it at 50 or close by next Tuesday.  Also, learned from Darkhorse today that rested xp--even on level 50 characters--affects Legacy xp gains.  And this is demonstrably true, though it does sound like that's some kind of bug.  Feels kinda silly to just figure this out at Legacy Level 42, but eh.
