Omni-Tek Award - Exemplar

Well whattayaknow...

Seems all those endless missions to City of Home pulled from Newland finally paid off. Well paid off, other than the obvious - bringing Upana to level 200 back in the day :-)

All in all it left him with roughly 5.000 tokens of appreciation, and as most will know - the maximum reward for quite a while has been the Omni-Tek Award - Flags of Glory and Redemption which is granted at 1.000 tokens. Then the Messenger Merit Board was introduced in patch 14.9 but was, for me anyway, not all that easily accessible. Intense raiding at Hollow Island was needed - and the odds of getting the needed board quite slim.

So anyhow. Logged on this evening, and a PF raid was just about to start. It's Omni week to decide the area, and we ended up in 28. About 65 of us or so - so you can probably imagine the lag. Anyhow, apart from a few people (or one, atleast) running into the laser fences, getting themselves roasted, the raid was pretty uneventful. AXP was quite below average, as there was targetting issues and quite long responsetimes on starting attacks. At the end, I was somewhat disappointed about the amount of AXP gained - but o well. Not like I had anything better to do at the time.

Mood quickly took a turn for the better tho. See I wasn't really expecting any luck on the loot at the end - with so many people being there. But seemed most everyone else was interested in a component for a new NCU belt (I remember looking it up - it DOES look nifty indeed) - so was hardly any competition for the Kyr'Ozch Helmet which was also part of the loot. I won it :-) And as it happens, the helmet can be traded in to the local Omni-Tek Observer for this very very nifty Omni-Tek Award - Exemplar token of gratitude :-)

Not bad, for a casual logon, just expecting to maybe grind a little SK or farm some patterns for symbiants to some of the alts ;-)
