El Gato beat me to 52, I expected it slightly we have been going back and forth for a while. With a bit of a challenge to see who will reach 55th level first I know we both are training hard. I’m about a day of training behind him but hopefully will be able to make that up with my lack of need for farming.

I remember one of the first times I interacted with EG. We were both in the mid 30’s of leveling and kept running across each other in the wastelands. He suggested we work together and I agreed it would be beneficial to both of us. We went back and for the one south and one west meeting back in the mutual square and I would heal us and he would rejuve me. We did quite well for some time and gained XP fast but then I took some time off from training to go back to my homeland for a bit.

I would have already been to 52 or possibly 53 if I wasn’t so obsessed with the blue crystal guardians but perhaps I just need to get moving on. Tonight I shall advance and work on a new level training as much as I can.

I got quite a boost a couple of days ago. I said something to my guild brothers while I was training that Ben must have enjoyed hearing as I suddenly was radiating Gods Favor. With this boost I went and fought hard in the N’rolav Tombs and gained about 10% in the three marcs granted by the blessing. Now many will say “only 10% in three marcs?” but those would be the ones that do not know the complexities of this high a level. It is a lot harder to gain experience.

Tonight should be good. I will try not to take too many breaks on my training, at least not until I hit 100% but then I may rest a bit. I have much to do.
