EDIT, much, much later: Sentient Weapons. Anything named that hadn't already been requested has now been eaten. Feel free to still shoot me requests for non-named stuff on the list...uh, is that just Epic scrolls?



Way back in December, I took a break from the game. (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/469271-Thanks-everyone-for-a-fun-6-years) Most of the reasons I stepped away still apply, and some of the trends have even gotten worse while I've been gone. But some of the fun, hanging out with friends and running quests, still exists, too. So, I've started playing again. ("Welcome back!" Thanks.)

So I'm back, but in a much more casual, low-key sort of way. No frantic PL grinding. No desperate search for the best gear. No bothering with formerly fun personal goals like capping out Monster Manual or Wilderness areas. Because I fully expect Turbine to destroy and invalidate any effort I put into those things. But, as I said, hanging out and running quests a bit now and then is still fun.

However, even though I haven't exactly quit, go ahead, ask it:

"Can I have your stuff?"

Yes. Yes, you can.

I've been gathering gear for years, some because I thought I'd use it during a TR, some because a friend or guildy might need it, some as trade goods, or whatever. But I just don't care anymore, so I'm giving a whole bunch of it away. Not to mention that, with the crazy stat inflation on gear, a lot of these items that used to be awesome are now just mediocre. But hopefully still useful to someone.

So if you want an item or three from below, send mail in-game to Budstein, or PM me here. I'm basically doing this on a first-come, first-served basis, but don't be too greedy, please. If you want more than a handful of things, ask for some, then wait a week to ask for more, so other folks get a chance, too.

....

So I'm back, but in a much more casual, low-key sort of way. ....

Sucks about the reasoning, but Welcome to the Casual Side. :)

OK officially confused by this thread but...glad you are back, the clearance seems a bit drastic! But you yell if there is anything you need. Not that there will be I suppose with all this kit going outwards, but you never know.
P.s Are the shadowmail and the libram still an option? If it is could you please send them to Krokosmius? Thanks in advance . If just one could it be the Libram please?

PPS, oh what the heck ...SHINIES!!

Hi Bud

I saw you recently so good to see you running around. Casual is all I ever manage and hate the grind myself, I am always looking for various items to help each TR. Currently trying out a fighter war priest (2 handed weapons) of which I have next to nothing for higher levels. Do you have something that might help me out (lower/higher epics)

I will try to send a message in game tonight when I get on line

Running as tymkul right now

Probably. But it's been a long time since I've ran a melee in Epic levels, and loot has changed a lot, so I don't want to give you bad advice. Anyone more familiar with 2-handed melee in Epic want to take a peek at my list and suggest when I can send skorpeon's way?



Hope the giveaway is going well! :)


Thanks! Requests have kind of died down, even though there's still lots of free stuff available.

The only ones I see...is maybe the Great Axe of the Chained Soldier or Windlasher.

Late to the punch, but I only came on this thread to welcome you back.

I'm playing casually too. I only have time for a couple of hours a day, if that, anymore.

I've spent more time looking through inventory and at current changes than questing though. Would be nice to run with some old friends from time to time. Nice to see ya back, Bud.

Is there by any chance a spidersilk robe left? and if so could it please be sent to Krokosmius? Thanks.

I'd been paying no attention to this for months, due lack of requests, and to being distracted with both real-life and other in-game priorities, but I did just gave away another 13 items today to a couple folks.

The list in the first post might not be 100% accurate, as I haven't put the time into scrubbing it, and the gear in question is spread across a half-dozen mule toons. But at least most of it is still available for give-away, so feel free to shoot me your requests, either by in-game mail to Budstein, or in a private message here on the forums. (Don't send mail to my mule toons, or I might not read it, for weeks, or ever.)
