My Amazing Gold Hill Kingdom Quest!
</sarcasm on>
Okay, so I decided to get in one last KQ last night before logging off. This would be... let's see, probably my tenth Gold Hill KQ. So I managed to get in okay (using special tricks that others have posted on the forums since God forbid you try to get in like a normal person), and had great expectations! Sure, I've never once gotten anything out of a chest from the GH KQ except some exp and maybe some fame that I never noticed, but last night was the night! I knew it!
So, I get in there and things seemed to start off well. Sure I wouldn't be able to do Quest 3 because it's been bugged forever and Outspark has more important things to work on, but that was okay. I got into a pretty good group and all seemed well.
Actually, it was quite amusing since my party leader didn't change the loot allocation to Free like every other party I've been in, so as a cleric I actually got a Golden Bug that one of my teammates picked up! Amazing! To finish that quest earlier I had to buy quite a few, but that's okay, it's good for the Fiesta economy after all.
Then to complicate matters, I was the person who found the key on the second tier. With Sequential on, we had to figure out who had it, but that was only a minor setback. The only tricky part was figuring it out amidst all the bickering between a few people about who was the cooler character and who was really a noob and such, but again, easily manageable.
The third tier went fine, just the normal posturing between fighters about who had the bigger sword. Though one player was becoming quite annoying to the entire group, but I managed to tune him out. He also decided to hang back in many places and leech off everyone else, but hey, that's okay! He probably just didn't have enough confidence. There, there, little guy. We'll take care of the big, bad monsters for you.
When fighting Marlone it actually went really well. We had a tank that did great, and everyone did their part (though I'm not sure what that annoying guy was doing). We than began searching for the key and after we passed the area where you go to the Gold Digger Boss, the annoying guy parked himself and waited for the rest of us. But again, no big deal. Really! <grinds teeth>
Anyhow, I found the final key with about 4 minutes left, so we were good. As we were heading back one of the players was talking about how the account he was using was one he and his son shared, perfectly acceptable in my opinion. In fact, I think it's a great thing for them to do since my son and I also play the game together (with different accounts though).
After we rested and opened the final door, the tank started doing his job and all was well, until the annoying guy started saying some really offensive things about what he would do, or was doing, with the one guy's son. I didn't catch the whole thing because I was actually trying to focus on healing the tank, but from what I gather it was pretty gross. Then the guys started spamming the chat window as the boss was getting close to dieing. Gotta love it.
In the end we managed to beat the boss without anyone dieing (though I'm guessing some wishes were in place about the one character kicking it), and all was well. Finally, I had that treasure chest! That sweet, sweet chest that I just KNEW would be the one. The one that finally that would FINALLY give me something worthwhile!
Guess what! It did! Can you believe it? I certainly couldn't!
Wait for it…
Imagine my shock and awe when I opened it and to my pure joy and delight found that I was now the owner of some NEW TIER 2 HP POTIONS! Not just one either! No siree! I got THREE! Count them! One, two, three! All to myself! Muhahahaha! Take that everyone!
The moral of this story is to not be jealous of me. You too can do TEN Gold Hill KQs, not be able to get the final quest, rarely get golden bugs if you're a cleric, and get yourself a WHOLE THREE POTIONS!
Do it! You know you want to.
