Day of Battle Stole my HoP Income and Earnings - Necromancer orb horror stories - and tales of other Fortunes

So this one ends nicely - I'll warn you from the start "> For almost eternity some of us have been dreaming to complete our Vigilant Guard collections - striving day and night to obtain the illusive collection item by all types of means and superstitions - slaving over our battles and cringing before turning in a kill and anticipating one in the making, and crossing ourselves hoping that it worked - waiting patiently for the fight to end and see if the gods had willed our favors - and to gather enough gold to buy our drug of life the necromancer orb....">

It turns out that the last DOS I had with me 2/5 of the items beforehand having paid something like 15 orbs to get them - and one coming on the midweek DOT - (rumor has it that the easiest way to get an item is in DOT - I also think its easier when u summon in combat to improve the odds - which is what i noted when I got the drop) - my next too surprising enough came from it on DOS! Before that I had already had a spurt of orb fever back in the AOH. ">"> But alas tragedy struck in the Boss Fight when Deathknight cursed me using a red BC orb - rendering me dysfunctional for the next 20 hours with a red curse! ">

Of course I was under the impression that he was going to heal me after the fight - but he couldn't heal red curses! "> Instead an offer to pay me gold to remove it from the buff menu had come forth but I declined stating that I could do it myself later on being already on PVP for some few hours - then I logged off. ">">">

Later on logging back in I noticed the cost had gone down from 6 to 4 - having been already some few hours since - so I logged off again - next login the cost was around 2 - So it was looking good for me to rip off the curse sometime shortly! And true enough SB was in full tide! I took it off for almost 2g and queued to go out to sea where I had a gr8 time although my best sailor didn't get a lucky drop along hand - else I could have made 3k there itself! LoL! "> I have 2.9 corsair atm ">">">

Then orb fever took hold of me and I started finding the smallest odds intriguing and started getting in line for the kill ">"> Under no circumstances was I short of Death Essences all pouring out of the orb like a rain of blight! I turned all of it into skeletars and used them outside PVP - as no one summons in there! But this I'm afraid is of no avail to the odds of getting a good drop - At last I had exhausted all my gold some 15g more at that time and was prepared to get off with just some valor and gladiator collections. At that point my clansman Doux had been in the AOH for a few fights - when he remembered I had offered to sell him a earing I won from the DOT midweek - As I handed it over for a gold piece it struck me that I have only a few more minutes of DOS left and being still fortunately in this case mildly bemused by my fever decided to try out one last orb....">
And to my gr8est surprise!! - I had fought valiantly of course - one magical Silver Hatchet fell into my hands! ">">! I was exstatic I converted another real into Gold and headed in to the last fight on DOS - the very next fight after the brilliant luck! In that fight I was to be commended for striving to do my best to win it and I was rewarded by a win to be fondly remembered and! The Tarkhan Skull - my final missing item of the Power of The Vigilant Guard collection! And fotune!! ">">">

So now that this tale has had a fairytale end - I must make haste and use up my remaining 2k in the Light of the Vigilant Guard range 7k+ to be blessed by the Power! And 43+ Skeletars!!">">">

So final lesson: Try your best don't give up - but also here's a few tips:

If you keep getting it you're on a streak of losing (death essences) ">
Quit. Try again a few hours later. I only got mine after a few more logins and that right at the very two final fights which I logged off about 1 hour before that and back in with 20 minutes left of DOS! ">

Fight valiantly and with your mind! More damage and skill has a gr8er chance. ">

Summon in combat in DOT!!! ">">">
thats good to know this story has a good ending, because im currently in the process of trying to get the dilligence of the vigilant guard collection. ive spent over 15 gold on orbs so far, and have yet to get a collection piece! plus, i only use it on people my level or higher! ive become very frustrated, and im quickly running out of gold.
I surely can assure u the level thing may only be a romour - I was keeping an eye out for that - and did get a drop from a lower level
