Public questing and everyone's opinion....

    I had a new experience in the game last night. Actually I experienced it earlier when I placed last on a PQ scorecard while at the same time realizing I had no clue as to what was happening. This time I was running around with  group of players killing Corrupted Dryads. Really didn't realize what was going on as I was having so much fun. Next thing I know is that the quests were over and I had won on the scorecard.
   After jumping up and down and wondering what fancy new title I was going to get and getting thouroughly disappointed realizing this wasn't going to happen, I recieved my mminor bag of loot. The next thing I know I am the proud owner of a new Long Sword:
16.0 DPS
+20 weapon skill
    Sure replaces my 11.3 and +7 strength one.
     I highly recommend all to try this if they haven't.
    I find this game fun as there isn't alot of info out there at the moment and none of my freinds are playing it so everything is like a gift at christmas.
Happy Hunting all and I will add tho this thread as my experience grows.

I decided last night to group with some people. You might be able to say I was desperate as the server is bare, almost as bare as old Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Again we took the war to the enemy. And again we fought fiercely.  When it was all said and done I manged a 2nd place finish. Now this time there wasn't much cool to choose so I being the greed monger like i am I chose the 5 silver. What is more important here to know than anything is that as you fight for the top spot finish in these areas you get INF pts. (Influence Points). The group I was with all 3 of us as we left the lower levels behind after helping them a couple times. I managed a nice pair of bracers. Now no matter how trivial the items I have received through this approach I am at least getting items i can use. In chapter 5 when I get to actually trying to level and do it has blue items. I have managed to make rank 11 basically running only PQ's. Either way I recommend anyone who doesn't know of these or think of them as a waste of time to rethink it and give it a try.
No i am also having a hard time crafting if anyone can help me..... I can't seem to find a fragment to put in the fragment slot  to start making Talismans.
Again there will be more to follow.

Well the adventure is getting wild. with new friends found and talks of guilds being formed. We decided to go after and take the positions on the island where the Khaine's altar is found. With no chaos to be found we did make short order of the positions we needed to take. I think we had 1 death in it all. By the time the four of us finished it I had a renown rank of 5.
With this achievement in hand and no clue once again what to expect we decided it was time for some shopping therapy. When it was all said and done I had trained to +9 in weapon skill and +3 in toughness from the apprentice renown trainer. Not bad for 25 min work. With my new found talents in hand I trekked to the renown item merchant. This is where a new piece of jewelry and a brand new sword made me the talk of the gladiator pits.
All in all it was a very successful evening.
I have all intentions of editing this with actual more descriptive terms and item names.
I would like to thank my new found friends who ran with me through this exciting learning experience.
