Intro:   Bouncing

What are you drinking?

Iron Man and Samdok!  

Lessah is a Noob!

  • Double Trouble Hireling watch!

  •  Favorite All Time Hireling Thus Far, Samuel Merik Level 9 Cleric and Tonya Brightstone, Level 12 Favored Soul.  Hire these guys, they are amazeballs!

  • Things that make you go hmmmmm  Baudry Cartamon.  Why is your warehouse filthy?  What are you shipping?  Did you know you have kobold poo everywhere and dead bodies on the floor?  I am going to call the Board of Health!  Don’t the Coinlords have rules and regulations in place to keep the public safe or is this like the water supply scandal all over again? I think he is shipping empty boxes.  People buy those?  


Tweets!  Where you tell us your price gouging secrets, your secret shame and your personal limits.  

Group Discussion, Money in Stormreach and you!

  1. Where is all your money going?

  2. How do you make money when you are an OCD crafter and break everything down?  

    1. Heavy Fort Sapphire story

    2. The daily Routine, we all have one, what is yours?  

  3. How do you make money fast? I don’t want to be rich, I want to be ridiculous-ly wealthy.  Let’s make that happen!  

  4. How stupid do you think I am Stormreach?  It’s like everyone is trying to sell their loot to the five guys in the game who have all the money.  What about me?  What about the little guy!

Examples:  

  • Bloodstone.  It’s also a gem.  Stop selling it like it’s a real thing and please for the love of God, people stop buying it and getting taken for a ride!  

  • People are selling collectibles at prices no one would ever pay. “What what what... are you doing?”  

  • Ingredients.  You people are greedy!  5,000 plat for 10 greater earth essences? Really? Really?? That’s 500 plat each, why don’t you just stick a gun in my face?  

  1. What about long term Investments and 401K?

    • Is farming loot to sell on the AH that rewarding?  Do you do it as a happy accident or deliberately?  

    • Collectibles of Note.  Watch out for these guys!  

      • All Soarwoods!  (resist fire 30 pots)

      • Powdered blood  (Crafting and Heroism x15 minutes pots)

      • Research Diaries (crafting item, you need em when you need em! Also Haste Level 5 pots!)  

      • Fragrant Drowshoods 40K plat on Thelanis

      • Vials of Pure money  (Not as cool as they once were!)

      • Silver Flame Hymnals (hit or miss, I see one on Thelanis for 800 plat...) and Tomes of the Prophecies of Khyber, still a good bet!  

      • Unbound shards and shards of potential are money makers for crafters (like me!)  Just remember fair market value when shopping for ingredients I won’t pay over 50-75 plat each.  If you are paying more than that, you are getting robbed and if you are charging more than that.  DON’T.  What, what what, are you doing?  Look at your life, look at your choices!

DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 64, Spells IRL

Welcome to the 64th episode of DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online and sometimes more inappropriate things too!  This week the crew ask “what spell in DDO would you use in real life?”  Lessah had a double trouble hireling watch feature and she shares a tale of Permadeath woe and talks about her mentor’s guide to building a flawless PD Ranger!  The team also talks about the My DDO fallout and Samius Gurobo’s poo phones in.  (I can’t make this stuff up, it really happened!)  Thanks so much for listening! 

This week’s we have a Public Service Announcement and a new sponsor. 

This PSA is brought to you by the Coin Lords.  Attention Citizens of Stormreach.   Do not drink the beverage known as Troglodyte Water!   

New Sponsor!  This one won’t make you sick.  In fact, this product makes everything fresher, it’s Dungeon Febreeze!  It eliminates odors and the faint tang of decay.  Just spray a little at the beginning of every dungeon you explore, you won’t notice that you have yet to cleanse that Dungeon Taint.  Remember, just because the quests stinks, doesn’t mean the dungeon needs to…Dungeon Febreeze.  Pick up some at your local vendor today!

Intro:   Blast

What are you drinking

Tweets, where you tell us what spell you would use from DDO in real life! 

Discussion, getting old players to return.  How do we do that?  You’ve lost that loving feeling.

Lessah is a Noob!

·       Double Trouble Hireling watch!  Level 8 Cleric “Fergus” and Level 11 FS “Roshan”.  Daffious is a hireling, but he is only available in the Sublime because he is a "biter". Also it's almost impossible to keep a halfing clean, the Coin Lord's deemed him too dirty for the regular vendor.  

·         A tale woe or… This one time in the shower…I accidentally killed my guild leader.

·         Ducks fly into the Chronoscope on elite!  I went to the Circus! 

·         Look Mom!  I’m a Ranger!  Tupe’s rules for making a flawless Permadeath Ranger! 

There are two kinds of characters in this game, Rangers and Targets.

Rangers are also arrogant little premadona bitches.

Remember you are the ranger, the clerics just think they run the party.

Never Buff a Halfling

Never Let your Halfling wiggle off its hook.

Always choose the pretty bows to match your shoes.

Con is a dump stat.

DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 63

Welcome to a brand new episode of the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online.  This week Lessah adds “Hireling Watch” to the show and also complains about how it sucks to be plat-challenged in DDO.  Samius talks for twenty minutes about his man crush on Robert Downey Jr. and the crew shares their gaming pet peeves.  We also spend way too much time talking about Furbies.  Thanks so much for listening! 

This week’s show is brought to you by “Trog Water” the only water designed specifically for Troglodytes and deemed safe by the Coin Lords for human consumption.  It’s fortified with God-Knows what, pick up a bottle today at your local vendor!

DDO CTH Gen Con Live Show

Sorry for the differences in voice volume! Lessah's mic was closer to her face than Samius'. Also she was speaking louder than normal so the people in the back of the room could hear her.
Forgive me. I didn't catch all the insane loud laugher. But I really did try. I did the best I could.
Gen Con CTH live taping was a blast

The intro is Lessah's daughter and Samius' son role playing as their parents.
I literally cannot post any more show notes because I have to get ready to leave Gen Con.

DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 60, Merry Festivult!

The Gamer’s Prayer… By Sargoreth

 Our Father who art uberl33t,

Pwnage be thy name,

Your level cap come,

Your roll be won,

On Eberron as it is on the Celestial Plane,

Give us this raid our epic lewt,

And forgive us our epic failz,

As we forgive noobs who fail in our PUGs.

And lead us not into griefing,

But deliver us from wiping.

Amen
