Here is a pre defined path that is supposed to make the quest easier than when I ran it. It took me more hours of running than I care to think about but the boots I believe are worth the trouble. I have a 30 day timer on aries but was thinking of running Samis through, but I would need the assistance of a Lockpick for most of the dungeons. Let me know who all is interested so we can plan a block of time for it.

When leaving the dungeon, many have the exit portal at the entrance. Simply portal recall back to the front and take the exit.

Jade'wei would like to accompany you on your quest for the "Walking Boots" I have lockpick and Maek'ilya can make Carol's Carrot Soup... Do we each need a bowl? I can get her working on a big batch if you like...

I will be leaving for home either the weekend of the 13th, or 20th.. but I do not know which as of yet since it is still up in the air.. I will be returning at some time after the New Year, but I also do not know for sure when that will be.. And I will not have access while I'm home..

So if we could set it up for sometime before Saturday (I know that's pushing it and not too likely) that would be fabulous for me.. If we could get a solid group that wants to do it while I'm gone I MIGHT be able to Throw myself in Shalindra's general direction and take up her offer of a visit and a spare computer to still be able to join...

So, Who Wants to Come With!? :lol:

Thanks Shal, though I can't access Maggies site from over here (COMM has it blocked)

I already have the key that you get from the making of the carrot soup so we should be set. I have to rerun the quest with samis since i damaged the ones i obtained with aries. I might try running the quest on Tuesday or Wensday of this week but let me know if i need to postpone it. I am not sure what time is going to be best for everyone. Shalindra still needs to get half the pieces so if we go during the week it would have to start after 8 or 9 depending on when shalindra gets home, or i can lead a group through and take shal through with aries. Let me know what scheduals are like for start times and weather tuesday or wensday would be better.

Well, Since it's now Wednesday, Wednesday's Better!

I'm working around the house today, but I can swing it, but it sounds like Shal's DSL is off atm, so it may be a small group...

But I'm Game..

~Jade'wei

i wish i was game :(

*pats Shal's back* Aww.. It'll get better dear...

I wish I was game too :(
