Unicorn Quest
My cleric in Vanguard is level 30 now and I find myself in a kind of lull. For the last eight or nine levels I’ve been mostly grouping in Trengal Keep, trying to finish the quest line for that dungeon, or otherwise just grouping for the XP. The next major dungeon in Thestra, or at least the one I hear everyone looking for groups for, is Vol Tuniel, and to a lesser extent, Vi-Rak (or however you say/spell it). The groups in these dungeons are looking for players 32+, 35+; not really 30. There’s another dungeon for my level but I haven’t heard anything about it, or seen anyone forming a group for it.
So I’ve decided to start my Unicorn Quest, which, as the quest title implies, gives me a Unicorn mount. You can start this quest line at level 22, but I’m only starting it now. A good guide can be found here. It’s a fairly long quest line so it should keep me entertained for a level or two.
Previously I’d discussed the cleric Affinity quests and how I thought I’d made the right choice, at least for grouping, by choosing the Peace affinity. As part of the Peace affinity line I’ve received Durance at level 30, an instant cast root that lasts for 60 seconds. I’ve also received Lull as part of the cleric spell line, so I’m starting to aquire some nice crowd control spells. Nothing I like better than a healer with some decent crowd control. Up until now the only CC I’ve had was a 16-24sec root called Divine Chains which hasn’t been particularly useful in groups. The instant 60 second root of Durance is great for that unexpected add or aggro.
