No Man’s Sky

Wednesday

Epril started Relic

Thursday 

Does anyone else multi box in No Man’s Sky?


I have a main that I was playing with the most but now I have a couple of alts. This came in handy when I accidentally deleted my starter ship in the latest expedition and forgot to remove the Atlantid drive because I thought my ship that I was bringing over had one. I initially panicked trying to find the mats to make another one when I decided to try bringing over an art with them necessary material. It worked. I know it’s silly, but it’s fun trying to figure out different things like this. I love this game


Finish the expedition on April Pvd.

She used the nites that she had gotten from selling the suspicious packages to update the multitool, which I love. She put one of the original S class OG radiant pillar in storage but now she’s running out of storage so she’s gonna have to pull some of those out.


Sunday

Went back to Aprillian to officially start the expedition. Logged in and she was stuck in her Corvette. I had created a platform opening on the second level by using two boarding gates facing each other. I tried several things to get unstuck like joining April Pvd‘s game but then I figured out I could just duck behind one ramp and go into the adjoining hab. But I did end up taking some of the pieces off because it was just too big of a Corvette to be using in an expedition. But it’s nice to have the storage because you have to collect a lot of bones. One of the things I like to do is bring back some of the augment you get to update your excel back to my main save for my new characters.

Titanic Trophy

It’s decoration AprilPvd accidentally sold hers. One time use but you

Started, Sebastian, my 4th character on the Relics expedition and headed to the anomaly after warping to first system. Seems like you need to go into the first space station but forgot to sell stuff before trying to buy first expansion exosuit slot.

Greetings CAW Crew,

Attached is my audio this week which contains mostly FFXIV. Oh an because Storm Braham is hitting the UK, I shouted out KA-BRAHAM! which is a GW2 Braham meme :D 

Also below is my FFXIV Miquote Hunter :D

Good day all! 

There’s is only just over 40 days left on Legion Remix so as per usual most of my time has been playing my Legion characters. I realised I made a mistake rolling various characters at first (you live and learn!).

I am now mostly concentrating on my Earthen Horde Paladin, so I can further gear him up and make him more powerful and solo more stuff.


I am still trying to collect various pieces of Transmog so I have been tanking in various Raids..


I have dinged another 2 level 80’s, one on Legion and the other on Retail using the Darkmoon Faire quests and the new Catch up system.

With the latest patch they have nerfed the XP between level 70 and 80 by 80%!! Add this to my 210% Legion buff and the quest that also gives you a further 200% and you FLY through the levels like crazy!!


I haven’t properly started any of the new Housing system yet, but I have collected a few pieces though.


New mount this week: the Fescorned War Wyrm (the Warrior Legion Fel mount).


Anyway..

Take care all and enjoy the various games!

However, support for MacOS Tahoe has started.

Jaffa Cake progress:

Jaffa has started her Blue Mage career.

This will be her glam for the time being. It’s the Casting set from the final Eden wing, so E9-12N/S. Depending on what you run, Normal or Savage, your items will be dyeable or not, only the gear from the Savage level is dyeable.

This is my new  :

AprilPvd in VR:

World of Warcraft Housing

Blizzard Actually Did It… WoW Player Housing Is REAL (Quick Guide)

No Man’s Sky

Started working on without a trace quest line on Aprillian and realized I could also do it very easily on April Pvd. I’m much better at fighting sentinels now.

Aprillian started working on the trace of metal quest line that starts with the sentinels constantly attacking the first settlement you get. When I first got the quest, she didn’t have an adequate multitool, but since doing the expedition, her multi tools have been upgraded so I went for it. There’s a part where you have to go and interact and then destroy a sentinel pillar. I was terrified of this because I had been killed over and over on April Pvd doing this part and then finally gave up. One of the things I didn’t realize on April Pvd was that you get this reconstructed drone and you have to interact with the drone throughout the mission. The quest line lead you to getting a mini tour and then it gets even better because eventually you give it a brain and it fights alongside you when you go out and about and it’s awesome. This game is always showing me something new.




I got enough quicksilver on Aprillian to get the Atlas dashboard



Finished and closed Expedition 17 on all four characters. This was the first expedition that I really got to do everything I wanted to do and understood that I could go back-and-forth. It was interesting because you got the wrath living ship, which is amazing and I made copies on all four. But I also went back-and-forth into the expedition swapping out the upgraded ship I had brought with me.




I lost one of my sentinel ships on Sebastian trying to get it to join my squadron. I’m not sure what the secret is but again I could not get the MPC to join my squadron and I couldn’t get my shit back because it was $88 million to buy back the ship I traded for nothing but when I went to reset my saved another ship came in.

Greetings CAW crew,

At last, another audio from me. Things have thankfully started to settle now and while I only got a little GW2 played, below is a screenshot. A big thanks to Grand Nagus for his Final Fantasy 14 Information and with any luck I'll be playing it by the weekend :D

P.S. I agree with Grand Nagus's rant about building a story and having a foundation. Just as important as the story itself.

Good day all! 

So basically I have been doing the same this week as I did last week.. it’s still all about Legion Remix! I am getting more geared up and more powerful! The more power you gain, the more OP you become! It’s actually quite addictive!!


I have collected various nice looking transmogs (the best being ‘The First Satyr’s Spaulders’ (which are awesome looking shoulders)) and some new mounts: The Biletooth Gnasher, Ashplague Fel Bat, Kalu’ak Crest-Horn and the Jeweled Sapphire Scarab (the reward from Decembers trading post, which was very easy to do this month) [screen shots attached].



Anyway.. hope you are all well and enjoying all the various games..?


Until the next time..

Grand Nagus:

World of Warcraft:

Housing: 

Introduction of Hearthsteel with the launch of Midnight.

Hearthsteel is a virtual currency for WoW that is designed for purchasing housing items ingame.

It can be bought with real money, BattleNet Balance or bought via WoW Tokens.

Only a select few items will be available via the BattleNet Shop or the Ingame Shop using Hearthsteel.-

Transmog:

Introduction of a new transmog system with the launch of Midnight.

You can buy outfit slots to save your transmog sets. It looks like there will be 50 slots available to purchase (with gold).

You have to pay gold to save the outfit to the slot, but once saved, the application of the outfit is free of charge.

This is somewhat like FFXIVs system where you pay to add an item to the glamour dresser, and then you save the outfit to your glam plate (currently there are 20 glam plates available), for free, and the application of the plate to the gear is free too.

Personally, the one I would get, if i didn’t have them yet, is the Heavensward one, since it includes a Fantasia in the bundle, so every new character you create gets a “free” Fantasia in the mail.

Date & Time

Friday, 5 December 2025 at 11:00 (GMT) / 22:00 (AEDT)

Jaffa Cake progress:

Reached max rank in the first of the three Dawntrail Allied Society stories.

Reached max rank on my Island Sanctuary (Rank 20)

Finished some more job quest storylines for crafting jobs. You unlock some very important actions/abilities doing those quests and some of the stories are really nice too.

Reached sworn reputation with a few more Allied Societies, being able to buy the respective rewards that rank unlocks.

No Man’s Sky

Finished Expedition 17 Redux on Epril

Created S class corvette for expedition and brought back 2 copies and 2 of the living ship.

Thursday 

Prepared Sebastian for expedition with S class starter ship.

Friday 

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing but I appreciated it. Someone was in the anomaly inside the expedition giving out expansion unit. Somebody gave me 30 expansion units for my ship and 30 for my exso suit. I used the ones on my ship, but I kept 25 to take back to my main safe because this was on Sebastian who was fairly new. I did manage to finish the expedition on him, but this time I wanted to bring an S class titan tool so I opened up all my suspicious packages with me and then I hung out at the pirate station and bought some more. I got my Titan multitool to S class. And then I bought seven of the radiant S class starships from the expedition. I got three of the living ships. I put three of the radiant in my storage, but then my storage was full. Then I broke down three to get engine wing and cockpit. Then I sold one for 99 million. And then I went to a space station and created a blue one. For some reason in the expedition, the color changed and it became golden instead of the red. but I really want a blue one because that’s Sebastian’s color.

While I was going back-and-forth into the expedition and out of the expedition to swap out, which ship I could buy at the expedition console in the main save, I was on the laptop with April Pvd, who was at a outlaw station, just buying suspicious packages, arms and tech. I want her to have enough so that when she gets the Titan multitool, she can update it to us classes as well. I know it’s silly, but it’s so much fun and I enjoy trying to figure out the different ways to do things. I really enjoyed this expedition. After April Pvd, I will do Aprillian! I was gonna do aprillian first, but I think April Pvd is ready

I’ve been loving playing so much that sometimes my workouts on Monday Thursdays, and Saturdays seem to be getting in the way. But I tried to frame it in my head that if I do the workout, the gameplay is a reward.

Good day all! 

So there is only just over 50 days left for Legion, which has made me feel a bit like I’m running out of time to complete all I set out to do.. There is still a lot of things I want to achieve. It is sort of overwhelming at times, however I do feel like I am making some good progress..


I switched to Protection with my Paladin, game changer! I been farming Infinite Power and Infinite Knowledge.. my ilevel is creeping up, gradually.. I have also been completing World Quests on Heroic Mode in order to obtain the Sargerei Commanders Voidscarred transmog, but it’s a bit of a slog at my ilevel, but it is getting easier the more I gain power!


New mounts collected this week.. Felscorned Grandmaster’s Companion, Darkspore Mana Ray, Twilight Courser, Brimstone Courser, Shackled Ur’zul, Fel-scarred Mana Ray, Illidari Doonhawk, Maddened Chaosrunner and the Traders Gilded Brutosaur (the Mount with the AH and mail box).


I have also been collecting some more of the Anniversary Transmog sets. The updated Bloodfang Rogue set, the Warrior set and the Death Knight set.


Hope you are all well and enjoying your in-game time..


Until the next time..
