Season Journey Chapter 3 (Season 5)

Chapter-3-complete-Season-5-500x331The Season Journey was first introduced into Diablo III during Season 4. It has returned for Season 5, but is not exactly the same.

Some of the objectives have been changed from one Season to the next.

To me, it felt like Chapter 3 was quick and easy to complete. Or, it felt that way compared to my experience with Chapter 3 in Season 4.  Players must complete the Season Journey through Chapter 4 in order to receive a portrait frame, pet, and full set of armor.

Twilight Eyes – by Dean Koontz

Slim MacKenzie (known by some as Carl Stanfeuss) has a gift that can also be viewed as a curse. His strangely colored “Twilight Eyes” are a sign of psychic ability. They allow him to see through the human disguises of hideous creates that he calls Goblins. He is in a self-imposed mission to kill them all. There are times when he wishes that he had a different gift – such as the gift of healing that his mother has.

Slim, who is only 17, has run away from home after killing an uncle (who was really a Goblin). His adventure leads him to join the Sombra Brothers carnival, which travels from place to place. Oddly enough, Slim notices that many Goblins are among the patrons.

Season Journey Chapter 2 (Season 5)

Chapter-2-Season-5-start-500x326The Season Journey was first introduced into Diablo III during Season 4.

It is back for Season 5, but is not exactly the same as it was in Season 4. The small changes keep things interesting.

Players who complete the Season Journey through Chapter 4 will receive a portrait frame, a pet, and an entire set of armor. The opportunity to earn an entire set of armor is something new for Season 5.

Season Journey Chapter 1 (Season 5)

Chapter-1-Season-5-start-500x336The Season Journey first became part of the game during Season 4 of Diablo III.

In Season 4, players needed to complete Chapters 1-4 in order to earn a pet and a portrait frame.

The objectives for Chapter 1 have remained somewhat the same between Season 4 and Season 5. There are a few brand new ones mixed in to make things interesting. Players must complete Chapters 1-4 during Season 5 to earn a pet that looks like a tree, a brand new portrait frame, and an entire set of armor (specific to the class of your character).

Flight Rising: Cragward Custodian

The Cragward Custodian was the holiday Familiar for the 2016 Crystalline Gala. Each of the holiday festivals are connected to a specific Dragon Flight. The Crystalline Gala is for the Ice Flight.

The Crystalline Gala took place at the end of January of 2016. If you didn’t obtain the Cragward Custodian during the festival, you are going to have a hard time obtaining one. Your best chance is to check the Auction House (and expect high prices). All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.

Diablo Game Play, Diablo III 60 comments on How to Extract Legendary Powers with Kanai’s Cube

How to Extract Legendary Powers with Kanai’s Cube

Kanais-Cube-500x451Season 4 of Diablo III was the first time that players had access to Kanai’s Cube.

Technically, players who decided to check out the Player Test Realm (PTR) were able to find and use Kanai’s Cube before it was placed into the game.

So, for me, the first opportunity I had to use it was during Season 4.

I was playing hardcore characters during Season 4, so all of the things I put in Kanai’s Cube can only affect my hardcore characters. Eventually, I want to “complete” the entire Kanai’s Cube – by putting all the stuff into it (in both hardcore and softcore).

Season 4 Wrap Up

zena-season-4Season 4 of Diablo III has ended. I like to take a moment to look back upon a Season and do a “wrap up” of how it went. So far, every Season has been different from the rest (as Blizzard worked on figuring out what worked well and what didn’t).

Overall, I had fun with Season 4. By the time it ended, I had completed my main goals for the Season. There were additional things I was working on, but I considered those to be “extras”.

Season 4 was the first time I rolled more than one Seasonal character. It wasn’t my intent to split my focus between Seasonal characters, but things ended up that way. I started out with a hardcore Wizard named Sparkle, and my husband Shawn started out with a hardcore Demon Hunter.

Doctor Appointments, Out of Spoons 0 comments on Official Diagnosis

Official Diagnosis

So, today I have my very first appointment with a rheumatologist.  As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, it took a year (and a referral from primary care doctor) to get in.

The rheumatologist was a very nice guy.  He listened to me describe my symptoms.  He asked for more details.  He wrote things down.  It was clear that he believed me – right from the start.
