Quest Levels Appear To Be Bugged
When asked about the discrepancy in the color of quest levels in the game compared to that of the manual, MadeOfLions had this to say.

I spoke with one of the systems guys and he actually said that the discrepancy you’re seeing is intentional; the way he explained it to me, it seems that we want quest XP to degrade more slowly than monster XP does, so it takes longer for you to level past quests than it does for you to level past monster kills. Judging from that conversation, it sounds like the manual is out of date, as it has them degrading at the same rate.

Who is Sara Oakheart!?
Hmm… a teaser?

rmtk7685 asked the following.

Alright, I’m a level 34 Captain and so far I have saved Sara from a) the Brigands Cave, b) Fornost, and c) Garth Agarwen. I’ve also heard that she gets herself in trouble in Ered Luin. WHO IS THIS OLD LADY AND WHAT IS SHE DOING GETTING HERSELF IN ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS?

I mean honestly!? It makes me wonder how she lived to be so old considering she keeps getting herself in trouble…

amlug replies simply with this,

Poor old lady. All she asks for is the kindness of strangers.

I remember seeing a reference to a betrayal of someone we’ve been following in the storyline. I wonder…

Mushroom Pie!
If RagTop is out sick on Monday, we’ll know why.

Now I’m hungry…

A quick Google search finds this recipe which I’ll try this coming weekend:

Anybody care to give it a shot before then and report back?

LOL @ Trick: Enrage
When asked if Trick:Engage proves useful, Scenario had this to say.

Personally, I love the traited version of Enrage and don’t go into an instance without it.

One simple question
When the question “Why can’t I buff myself?” was asked in the Captain forums, Tens stopped by twice in the same day and gave them cause for celebration.

Because the Shores of Evendim update hasn’t gone live yet. Oh, wait… perhaps I’ve said too much…

Just wait until they hear about the Power Cost reductions!
