I am a Dwarf Stripper!

Published on January 12, 2005 By evilPidge In Everquest

So I've been playing Everquest 2 since mid November. I really like the game. I liked the original EQ, but by the time I got into the game (last December) I felt is if I had missed everything. There were so many refrences to things I knew nothing about. There were so many things I missed with my characters. There was so much min/maxing that I did not understand, and therefore, my characters tended to be mediocer at best. I'm not really complaining. I had a blast in the game. From December to August I leveled a 55 Dwarf Clerc, a 55 Dark Elf Rogue and a 60 Vah Shir Beastlord, so I must have liked something about the game.

So as I stated above, I started EQ2, and I must say I'm really enjoying it. There are a huge amount of quests to do, which is quite different from the original. Now I must point out something here. By the time I got into EQ, most of the quests were irrelevent. A character could grind through XP up to level 30 in 2 days, and have enough cash to buy equipment ten times better than the stuff you could quest for, so I did few to none of the newbie quests except for my first set of armor for my Cleric.

Anyway. There are enough quests in EQ2 that you can easily level up to 15 with out having to grind XP. From 15-20 there are fewer quests, but still enough to keep it intersting. For me, I really only had to grind 1-2 leves up to 20. At 20 they have a new set of quests that will give you new class specific armor. There are 6 different quests each one for a different piece of armor (boots, gloves, bracers, shoulders, pants and breastplate) and when you complete all 6 quests, you have a complete set of armor that matchs. This is a pretty cool concept because up until this point everyone is pretty much wearing a hodge-podge of armor.

Now for EQ2 I wanted to be different. I looked at all the different character classes (24) and the different races (15) and I wanted something unusual. I finally came up with a Dwarf Monk. To make him a bit more different he is bald, and has no beard. Now, I'm sure that I'm not the only Dward Monk on my server (Feydark) but I have never seen another one.

I had heard that the Monk Armor was supposed to be Bruce Lee-ish with flowing pants and what not. I looked on some of the EQ2 web sites and found a picture of a female monk in her armor

This looked pretty sweet in my opinion, and I couldn't wait to complete my set of quests. So from levels 20-24 I quested my new armor. The last quest was the thoughest. I had to kill 6 ultra-rare creatures, but after about 5 hours of camping and killing everything in sight, I got it. I returned to Qeynos (One of the major cities) to collect my breaste plate and see what the whole set look like.

WTF?! The only words I can use to describe my armor is a cross between a WWF champion, and a male stripper. I'll let you decide.

Change your clothes, your too scary. Or maybe change your gender, that girls outfit is rather nice

Wow, dude. I'd figure someone who had been geek enough to level 3 different characters above 50 in EQ might know that the same armor may look different on different races... then again, your original stable probably wasn't sharing pants.

I like the combination World Title Belt/Tonfa holder.

I hate to admit it, Pidge, but she does have a point...

Ilric is a little bit shorter and balder (but i'm catching him up on that) than I am, but I have been told that I have many "dorf-like characteristics"

Alright, yeah, that's creepy. I suppose the females had to have a larger front panel, tho...

My WoW Warrior is POed... he says your belt is a total sham:

"You think you're the Squat-weight champion!?! You think that match defined your abilities in the ring? Let me tell ya something... YOU CAN'T BEAT ME! Oh, sure, you had a "lucky" night... you won the belt... oh, WITH a little help from your Elf slut. But I have a little surprise for you, Pidge... I have a rematch clause in my contract, which makes me the #1 contendor at next months pay-per-view! Oh, and one more thing... I get my rematch in a match of MY CHOOSING! Now, I want to give the fans something they'll enjoy... something they can really sink their teeth into. That's why, at Dwarven D-Day on May 22nd, you... and me... are going to get into a STEEL CAGE... for a 1-hour Ultimate Biting Submission match! And you WILL TAP OUT!"

Ya... scary... maybe you should quit the business. Get out before you get hurt in Rham's tentacle-bite finishing move.
