Making some crystals, and some cash

I would post some more news from the frontlines of the war but- a) I'm only a minor player in the war not being uber enough to kill much more than a small fleet of elpies, and b) there's like 1.239218E+21303 posts about it on blah...so no need to be super redundant and make you read more than ya need.

So...with the remaining naked S grade weapons we have out there, we decided to go do a rift party last night since alot of us were tired and a new work week was beginning, and we wanted something easy and safe...so grabbed a bunch of level 12s and went to the hero rift. I'd begun to get a little disappointed with the rift because the last few times I'd been there I haven't had any luck in getting the raid boss, but finally on our second try we were able to. And also, we managed to get some nice random drops as well, so all in all best rift party I'd been to in a while.



Hey look what I made this weekend!



One piece down, 3 to go...as you can see it doesn't look quite right with my DC gloves and DC boots.



Feel free to skip this next section if you don't want to read about my car babble which will come off sounding like a shameless plug for BMW.

In some of the non-Lineage stuff...My birthday is coming up soon, and the last couple of years I've noticed that I'm now closer to 40 than I am to 30...which in some ways isn't so bad, because now I can start to look for my midlife crisis car! Hop over to the BMW site and check out the The new BMW 3 Series Convertible which is slated for release later this year. It is a hardtop convertible like the new Volvo C70 that was released last year.

BMW also has a ton of really great delivery incentive programs with their cars. I'm thinking of possibly taking european delivery of the car...which means BMW will sell you the car at about $2000-$3000 off of the regular price (price reduction depends on model, it's like $4500 off if you buy a 7 series) , as well as spend like half a day helping you get acquainted with your car and then when you are done with the car you just drop the car off and BMW picks up the cost for shipping it back to the states for you. So, by taking euro delivery you save $2-3k on the price, you also save like $500 because you dont need to get a rental car when you're there because you have your new BMW, AND Lufthansa offers a 2 for 1 price deal for flights to Munich to pick up your car so it's like free airfare for your significant other, with all that factored in there's almost not reason to NOT plan a European vacation when leasing or purchasing a new BMW because all the incentives make the cost a wash.

If you're in the states, BMW also offers a performance center delivery option. Every new car purchase/lease is always packed with these miscellaneous fees...one of which is a "delivery fee". The delivery fee in this case can be used to ship the car to your local dealer, which is what usually is the case, or you can use the delivery fee to take delivery of your car at BMW's perofrmance center. If you choose to take perfomance center delivery at their plant in the Carolinas, you purchase a one way plane ticket down there, and you're picked up by BMW, in of course, a BMW. Your hotel and dinner are paid for by BMW for that evening, and the next day you're taken to the performance center where you're given an individual walkthru on all the documentation included with your vehicle as well as the vehicle itself. Afterwards you're taken to the track where you will get instruction usually from ex-racecar drivers on how to drive your car in all kinds of extreme conditions...you don't actually drive your car, but one of BMW's cars...it's supposedly pretty fun where you get to do some really crazy stuff on their closed track.
