I figured I’d try somewhere new in EQ today, so I headed to the areas of the Buried Sea expansion. Unfortunately it’s a lot smaller than I expected — there are two main zones, but then the rest of them seem to be LDoN-ish mission areas that need a group.

Oh well. I picked up a bunch of tasks in the Barren Coast zone and worked on them for a bit, though they were fairly simple ones that only awarded xp, cash, and faction. A few of them took me into the Buried Sea zone and I hunted there for a while to work on one of them, though the xp wasn’t all that great. I did pick up a bunch of miscellaneous items that might be good for twinks, though.

Best of all though, I managed to see a level 76 named basilisk spawn twice, and just barely beat him both times (first time with my animation, second time with a charmed basilisk), and got both of his drops, including a rather nice 33% haste belt with decent stats. My monk will love that when/if he hits level 68.
