Was able to finally beat Xamphur and finish the Zeah questline (so far)! It came down to the wire: me horribly undergeared in my Swampbark armor and Yew crossbow/adamant crossbolt combo, him an ancient angry undead necromancer. He was down to 20HP, but I was out of sharks. Could I bring him down before the clappy hands got me? I tried my best, but he still was up when they appeared, and I sprinted to the other end of the room and back, somehow avoiding damage. Finally, I brought him down with one lucky shot, and was able to finish the quest - and unlock the Arcuus spellbook.

I really need to get more bossing experience, lol. Anyone have recommended boss progression to pick up the mechanics? I struggled a lot more with this than I would’ve liked.

I’m rocking a Garmin smartwatch and using the preloaded adaptive training plans. I started out with a couch to 5K last year, and now I’m doing a Jeff Galloway 5K plan to increase my speed. As someone who was never able to run before due to chronic injuries, I’m just shooting for a 10 minute mile average, lol.

I’m not off Reddit entirely, but I’m trying to transition here for what I can. It looks like most of the communities I’m in are here too, they’re just a lot quieter. So I’m looking to post more.

Was on Reddit for ~7 years, I think.
