I've put up a preview of my upcoming #FFXIV All Saints' Wake 2025 guide onto #Patreon for Crew-member Early-Access.

It will go live on Wednesday afternoon UK time, with new pictures of the rewards sometime on Friday afternoon.

Thanks.

A FFXIV Miqo'te looking sideways slyly, while being partially shadowed in darkness. The text simply reads "FFXIV All Saints Wake 2025".

Yes I know it should be "All Saints' Wake" to be grammatically correct, but I think it looks weird on headers that I make.

Thank you for your encouragement about my #LOTRO Fall Festival guide. I've finally started the event myself now.

I'm off for sleep and rest (and meds).

G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

A young-ish woman (she's in her 30s in my head, I don't know where "young" is in anyone's eyes any more) in a dark grey dress waves to the camera. In the background, the sky is changing to the pinks of sundown behind the trees further down the hill.

While you can't apply an aura to your cauldron, #LOTRO are getting adventurous and the contents do in fact create green bubbles.

I definitely don't want to know what's in it. And the tooltip is "mysteriously" devoid of explanation.

[Minor Updates] I've been through my #LOTRO Fall Festival Guide and tweaked wording, fixed a few things and generally tidied it up a bit.

If you spot anything majorly wrong, do let me know.

I'm about to go and do my first Fall quest of the year now.🍃👋

[Updated] The page about the new Cobweb Robe shows how it looks on a few races/body shapes AND in a couple of the Fall Festival dyes.

(I'm currently going through the guide and making notes for final changes tomorrow).

[Cross-Platform] Today's the worst I've felt with this bug, including huge energy crashes. I've had food and meds, some fresh air & am making a strong coffee now.

I've just patched #LOTRO so will try to finish off the important Fall Festival guide updates as quickly as possible.

A Work-in-Progress outfit using two of the newer cosmetics from @officiallotro.bsky.social: Golden Lion Armour (dyed black) and the Ceremonial Jaunty Sword (with the Golden Lion aura).

(Full List in ALT text).

This tunic is great and I have other shoulder and feet items that don't clip🙌.

#LOTRO

Side view of an outfit with a the huge curved sword and the lace cloak being the main focuses from this angle.

The bracers' full name is the "Leather Bracers of the Gentle Stag", but I ran out of space in the post text.

An outfit featuring a white hood, a folded shoulder-wrap that ends in a coil on the left shoulder, and an armoured tunic, where the chest area has plate armour and the lower half is made up of vertical strips of studded leather.

Full Item list is:

- Golden Lion Armour (Dyed Black)
- Ceremonial Jaunty Sword (with Golden Lion Weapon Aura).

Other items are
- Hood of the White Mountains (quest reward) | White Dye
- Autumn Shade Shoulder-guards (Lalia's) | White Dye
- Bridal Veil (Midsummer Festival)
- Mariner's Boots (I think mariner class starter gear)
- Leather Bracers of the Gentle Stag (Dunland Quest reward) | White Dye though I've already changed it to black)

VPN users, ha. The way things are at the moment, the vast majority of those are likely to be real people

None of those groups are even logical to exclude. Adblocker users is particularly vicious.

As for lurkers, I stopped streaming years ago and I was glad for lurkers. They showed you weren't alone and they enjoyed watching you.

AI can only "care" about metrics. The same must be true of their makers.

I've put up a partially-public #Patreon post covering what's coming up from me this month.

(Crew members get the full article).

I'm still not well, but this post covers #LOTRO, #FFXIV and that rest thing I absolutely must get.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's really weird. Not heard of that before.

I didn't ask what you were pasting *into* but now I'm looking into it I think it might be related to Colour Profiles. Some thing about assigning the colour profile to the document first.

You've made me wonder if I could reproduce this now, ha.

[Cross-Platform] After a week of illness, I've managed to have some time questing in #LOTRO. I've done most of the Shield Isles soloable quests, so next time it's on towards Umbar, the actual city.

PS: The new birder trousers (pictured) dye well. Need tips on non-clipping boots!

A monster from a parallel universe that are similar to the Hyur, but would shock all watchers of the Arcadion with their brutality, huge ranged AoE damage, taunting of opponents and great at manipulating the crowds.

They'd be given the Feral Soul of the Earth-bound Human.

I'm back in my office at last, though with a broken lock to make it possible.

I will be gaming tonight, once I've run any updates. Me and NJ have the same bug and it's not going away.

But next week I must be productive.

I need to start saving for a new, more secure door (1+year probably).

I had to use my wife's laptop and my password vault, because I only own a PC, which is in the office.

Thanks again @eldasescape.bsky.social, I really appreciate it.

Even if the actual festival got here quicker than I realised.
