Hello all! I don't post much here in these Coffee threads, but I do enjoy seeing em, so I'll start this one off today!
 
 
As for what I've been up to in wildstar... not much at all I'm afraid. I've been taking a break from most online games it seems as my old love for mtg came creeping back and stole all my attention haha. It doesn't help that during the summer months it gets silly-hot here and the local card store that opened last fall has ac :P
 
So what cool stories do you guys have about your adventures in Wildstar? Maybe that will give me the inspiration I need to hop back in and play :)

Anyone and everyone is invited to make a Morning Coffee thread :)
 
This week has been really hard on me so I have had really limited time to play (Booo!) but I have been steadily working towards becoming attuned. Once I got past the ZOMG! It's gonna be awful! and too HARD!! attitude, it actually moves along at a good clip. I think some of it is rather confusing to start but once you get going it makes a lot more sense.  :P
 
In case anyone has missed it, this is an excellent resource! http://wildstar-core.com/2015/05/31/im-level-50-now-what-updated/
 
No real stories from this week. I just managed some contracts and a Fail Tree with Koob  :wub:

Hit 37 last night with starting WIldrun.  Getting close.
 
Beginning to wonder if I should be using runes yet.  Changing gear 2-4 times per zone didn't seem to be practical.
 
 
And WOO HOO!!!!  They fixed the bug for the capitol city exploration mission!!

You should be runing, but you should only be using the "Weakened Runes" you can get from the vendor. Anything else is pretty much a waste of runes and money until 50.
 
Even then, I didn't start using GOOD runes until my questing/leveling greens were replaced with Blues/Purples.

Yeah, haven't really needed runes while leveling myself.  After the first two or three level 50 characters you get a feel for the zones and know how to compensate for things.
 
Another RP night.  Tried to help a friend but I think it did more damage than help.  At least we know more than we did before.  Hopefully the next attempt will see some success.  Heh... even the RP has progression. :ph34r:

			I've actually never seen the need to rune before I hit lvl 50. Call me frugal I guess but it felt a bit like a waste. But then again I do like to make my own sets of gear at key intervals so I don't need to rely on drops for most of my leveling... Maybe I could take the little extra effort to slap some vendor trash runes in those bad bays haha

They don't make any difference if you're doing "at level" or below quests ... but if you're like me and always shoot for one or two level above quests, they made all the difference.

Very sad to be back from anniversary vacation. D:
 
On the other hand, Jack and I binge-watched Steven Universe. I am in full-on, non-stop fangirl mode at the moment. MUST MAKE ALL THE FANART. MUST MAKE GEMSONA! AAAAH--
 
I'll still prolly find time to log into WS though. :p Like, as soon as I write this post! Though the fanart ideas are filling up my brain like crazy at the moment. Still, should probably pop in, say hi to guildies, maybe get some levels on the dommie... xD

I'll generally rune items for mainstat using rune components that I get as drops or from salvaging gear. Other than that, I don't spend any money on them while I'm still leveling. Granted, I never have a full set of runed gear, but since I'm replacing it once per zone - or more often depending on how lucky I am with the drops - I don't see it as any real issue.
 
As for WS progression, I've got my Medic to 36 and have finally finished crafting a full set of support gear for him. I had this 'Grand Idea!', of having two seperate Medics - one for heals, one for DPS - because I came from SWTOR where spec changes were more arduous and I found it easier to have two seperate characters for two different roles. And I had this idea that keeping two sets of gear current would be too demanding a task. Well, what I realized was instead of keeping track of two sets of gear, I was actually managing THREE sets of gear! One for my DPS medic, and two sets for my healer, since obviously leveling in full support gear is like trying to swim through molasses. Then, upon further considering it, my 'DPS' Medic is an Outfitter/Survivalist so, it dawned on me that I can *gasp!* make my own gear!! /facepalm
 
So I ditched my 'healer' medic and crafted/scrounged a set of support gear for my DPS guy and I'm now fully able to perform healing for dungeons. I know, I know.. didn't think one through too well. Oh well, didn't really 'cost' me anything except leveling time, but thats no real concern.
 
Guild is coming along nicely, we're scheduling dungeon runs on Wednesday nights now and our website is up and running smoothly, thanks to a guildie who put it together of his own volition. 
 
I'm -really- glad I decided to return to WS, I've been having a great time and am looking forward to running Skullcano tonight!
