zomg, chemchem is rich!

yes, i'm rich now... but at the cost of rl $ >< brought quite a lot of keys to open the gold boxes... $3 each sio... but thk god i did get some good stuff... dragon sleve with 9 slots, dusk raven with 9 slots, a bunch of other noob eq with 8/9 slots that i've not sold out a single one, this broom witch chair which fetched me 300m, a white scroll that legendary kwanhua bought for 350m... a mushmom eraser... a chaos scroll 60% which i have scrolled... basically... its like gacha... but with a better chance of getting good stuff.. which of cos, screwed up market prices. prices of stuff like gene30 n mw20 has dropped by a ton now... only sb i got has been the bow expert30... sells for ard 9m or so... blah...

still... all in all, i now have enough for a wa 18 maple shield, with $$$ to spare. BUT hell did i spend a bunch of real life $$$ on it >< yeah its so d@mn tempting to keep opening those boxes. but i guess its abt enough for me... i've got enough meso and spent enough cash... so yeah >< gotta save up when sch reopens man ><

tired!

almost time for bed... slept super late last night and yet for some unknown reason woke up earlier than usual... trained at duku till i wanted to fall asleep >< made ard 10m or so meso today, then go really really bored n went mulang training center. racked up 1.5k points today and got my blue belt! +3 to all stats, and that increases my acc by 1! check strategy wiki.. for some strange reason i didnt see the avoid of the was stated in there last time >< anyways, the last mob at time temple needs 172 acc to 100% hit, so that the acc i'm striving for now. considering to make a blue/green neos pants instead of buying a pre-scrolled one. the total of 8 acc (with adv garnet) will help a lot. the trouble is that power crystals are ex and hard to hunt. garnets i still get rather easily, bye bye station mob drops loads of them. just hunting there yesterday n totday i got over 70 ores. plus with those normal jewels there's a 5% chance to get an advanced crystal when grading, compared to the mere 1% of the crystals... sheesh! no wonder adv crystals are so hard to come by (not to mention expensive!) might end up using an intermediate power crystal on my reversed 1H too. so if it really fails or i scroll n boom it i wont get a heart attack?

finally went to get my legendary spirit skill today. plan to use to it scroll the maple claws i got... hope i dont end up booming all of them ><

so that's 605 quests done... but considering that mcpq will give medals (at least from KMS info) that add 10 to each stat, i will just get 2 on my SM (unless each char can only get one then zzzzzzzz) and SOK it over... 10 to each stat is really ALOT. the luk n dex there will give 13 acc. since now i have like... 148 acc i think while wearing my spd shoe, that gives me 161 acc. the extra 12 needed can be easily covered with a bottom upgrade alone, or by getting a 10dex earring, and making a bottom with +8 acc instead of the +3 that i'm wearing now. not to mention that i will get more acc as my koc lvls up. alrighty... let's see what tmr's patch brings! aidos!

Farming time

And so the last of my monthly 2x exp has been used up, and now its time to farm for my maple shield. managed to earn quite a bit of $ today, and hunted 20++ power crystal ore (thus the reason why i'm still awake). my aim is to finish farming in 1 month... but might be a bit hard... still i hope i finish getting my entire eq upgrade package by my bday, and have my koc reach max lvl shortly aft that, or before my bday too. with mcpq seaon 2 coming out, i hope i can rush to lvl 70 before sch reopns, while still having time to farm a bit each day. aft that, lvling will be fast once i got a decent lvl of soul driver... and with soul charge n dish... gah... reaching lvl 120 can be done in the the snap of a finger, even with self training.

okay, so here's my current goal:
Before my bday:
Get a maple shield with at least 15wa
Get a reverse 1H - still undecided on whether to scroll or not and with wat scrolls
Get an earring with at least 10 dex
Get a bottom with at least 14dex
Reach lvl 12 blessing for my main char

After that, i'll save up for a... wa 15 wg? or upgrade to a n00b scrolled wa 5 cape.

chemchem lvl 149 already... lvl 29 stance. decided to go for enrage before mw, tho the prices of enrage 20 and 30 does worry me a bit. now that i'll be switching to farming mode, i hope that by the time i need enrage 30 the ht bug is throughly fixed and the prices of enraged 30 will back to the normal price. now its like... 99m for a book! crazy lah! aft that then add mw9. then maybe achilles... oh wells, still quite a ways from there yet ><

MCPQ season 2 is finally here! apparently u can get a medal that adds +10 to all stats! GODLY MEDAL! untradeable duh... dunnoe if can SOK, cos that 10int would really help my hero... >< okay, not gonna train my sm who's still stuck at lvl 57 now. mcpq all the way!

windows mode - at last! can switch btw maple n other windows easily now.

monster box event - a good way for them to earn $$$. no idea how much they will sell their key at ><

and yes, a cash shop package that gives stats! wonder how much it will cost >< if its not TOO ex i will buy it aft all my cash shop items expire. >< that +2wa on weapon... *drools* but then again, considering the way they are, its most likely to be super ex... see how lah... changing my eqs and stuff will give more more wa than that. maybe when i'm higher lvl still then i will buy. unless its cheap, but obivously its not gonna be. somemore when buy have to get the whole package.

SS part 2

solo papu - 2nd try


This time round i managed to get some pics DURING the fight :D here's papu knocked all the way to the corner, just nice the SS was taken when he did 1/1


Clock sleeping...


here u can see my damage more clearly. not the max damage tho... hard to time my SS


body 2 of clock!



well b2 fight is much easier and rather risk free, so i took more SS :D




how low can my brandish damage go? that's ard the lowest i guess ><


after seeing the lowest, i give you the highest i managed to SS.


and the drops! i got a: red katte, green cresent boots, 49 milks, 35 power elixirs, 55 dews, ice demon 30, and 42 elixirs. too bad the monster card is wasted as i already got all 5 cards from tiank.



went to hunt jr. balrogs to get my key, as part of the enraged quest. made a mini picture guide on doing the quest in the mean time. shant repeat the pictures again, but if you want, here's the link to my mini guide.

and that's all the SS i have for now :)

yay!

Oh wow! for the 1st time ever scribefire's upload pic thingy works! anyway's that's the pic of my soloing ice knight at time temple yesterday. and basically, that's where i've done the quest up to. have not paid the 1mil bucks to die yet, cos i'm a cheapo and i still haven earn back my pot money for this round of poting. plus, it doesnt help that i already cant kill at cg regret well. so going to the red mobs now will just be super pot burn. 4k+ damage each! OUCH!

okays, let me try to upload the rest of the SS i took over the... dunnoe how long i've not posted.

okay, 1st up is LQ n her dar's wedding! 1st time i got invited to a wedding!


so sweet, 'married' on his bday! 1st time i use a weather effect:


ALL SPAM YOUR AOE ATTACKS!


Genesis, blizzard, metero... all 3 mage ultimates!



Photo taking session


At the bonus map thingy place. No mobs left to kill :(


At the top...


End of wedding...

Using the owl for the 2nd time, to find AC book 3

2 pages of results!

in the end i bought the book from someone else, at slightly cheaper at the mkt price. i think i paid 7 or 7.5m for the book...
hurrah! it passed!


Level 23 AC now!


some pics of me whacking at mong. was super hard for me to the an SS of my highest damage, cos i'm using a lappy and i need to press and hold the Fn button while pressing the F12 button to take an SS... while pressing my dish button too...

As you can see, i took the pics during my 2x exp.


training at duku = stunation

see how duku loves to root me to the ground?


see how many mongs i've killed? and those etc items are from only 1 night's training


more stuns from duku. soloing at duku while 3hit ko is... super stunning


stance book 2 passed in 1st try! the book was free from a guildmate of mine so yeah :)

more pics of dying dukus. told ya its hard to get an SS with me doing damage


the 1st SB i got from duku (and only one thus far) - elemental boost!


stance book 3 passed!!!


oh, a rare pic of my SM! i went to fetch the egg for the mount to hatch it, but i dont have the 10million to buy the mount :(


arh, finally, the SS of me soloing papu!


1st papu downed!

that's all for today!

wanted to upload massive amount of SS, but the blogger thing isnt working properly it seems... trained for like 5hours++ at time temple. didnt get a singe piece of time till like... at 1.45am, aft training for like... 5hours? then got 2 withing 10mins, and then no more again liao. that brings my total POT count to 4... BRAVO! 41 more POTs to go... whee >
Soloed papu yesterday, twice. took me a 17mins the 1st time round, and 18mins on the 2nd try. keep kena kb - until sometimes get dispeled too. spent ard 130 honsters per run, but thankfully the pot gains alone will pay for my honster cost. super lucky on my 2nd run, got ice demon 30, and 2 pieces of eq, oh and the monster card too. too bad the monster card is useless to me since i already got all 5 cards from tiank last time :( but yeah... cool eh? my little n00b crus has really grown up! sometimes i still cant accept the fact that my char is so strong now - yes i'm no where compared to those 16X or 18X heros, but hey, at 147, i've got dish and ac maxed, and a decent lvl of stance. basically, my basic bossing package is complete already. it thrills me when ppl ask me to go scar bossing and such, and this time i know for sure that i will be a contributor, rather than a bystander. however, thanks to the ever persistent hack shield error, i will dc from scar, zak etc... :( so basically i tried scaring but failed. sian. cant even get back my scar helm now, haiz. its great when i look at the guild namelist and realise that all those ppl who zoomed past my lvl previously thru the usage of spam service are like... either just 1 or 2 lvls ahead of me, or way behind my lvl... just realised today that... even my senior in the family system is also 6 lvls lower than me!!!!!! cool! as for my junior, who was so extremely close to over-taking my lvl, now i'm like, 19 lvls ahead of her... phew... of cos most ppl have sch already, so i hardly ever see my senior or junior online... and yeah my own sch is abt to start in 2 weeks time... but its cool isnt it? i did it all by myself! yeah, i used a monthly 2x card, and yeah pting with ringer at times really help... but no i did not pay anyone to spam me, nor did i pay anyone to pt with their ringer. and yes i do feel proud of my achievement. hehe, even my guildmaster who is in NS now will soon be overtaken by me! will try to lvl tmr, which will make me same lvl as him liao... hehehe :D

still, it'll take me quite a while to be able to 2hit skele, CG of regret, dukus, etc... quite a ways from my goal of 600m for the eq upgrades too. and now the deflation of the price of ilbis, most likely due to hacker flooding the wolf spiders hunting grounds really doesnt help. it makes me kinda wonder how i shd make my $. its hard to get a map at wolf spiders with all the hackers, plus the fact that ilbi prices have dropped lik 10m from 30-34m to 21-25m makes me feel really.... reluctant to hunt ilbis anymore. what's more that day i hunted for over 2 horus at spirit vikings to no avail, and i've hunted previously at wolf spiders for over 2 hours to get NOTHING too. haiz. hunted at d. wyverns for a while yest as well. no SB. oh wells. now dish 2 ppl sell at 48m but no one buy. guess i'll need to wait at least 1 month for enough ppl to become heros and buy the skillbooks off the mkt so that prices can start to rise. oh that time i lent my guildmate my dish20. feel so bad for him - he hunted on and off for 1 week plus, to finally get the book, only to fail it. wat's more his hero 131 already. ya i guess he leeched most of the way there (i still remember he was only a fighter just a few months back, then a crusader, than a hero, when i'm still lagging way behind!), but just feel sad when i see him hunting at d wyvern with dish 10. so i lent him the book which he passed this time around. aft that he hunted 1 back n return me... so i got another book to loan any hero in need... gah, basically i'll only lend to fellow forumers from the hero's lounge whom i'm familiar with, and bascialy only flame would need/be able to get the book (same world). see if he need bah, it'll take quite a while for the dish 2 price to go anywhere near my ideal selling price. ideally i'll like to sell the book at 100m, but if can sell for 80m or so i guess its ok le. anyways, i'm patient and i can wait >< after all it'll take me very long to get my funding for the wa shield. really ponering whether to hunt ilbis or at bye-bye now. haiz. ilbis is all see luck loh. thing is that i want to wait till the price increase back again, which once again, is not gonna happen any soon. haiz.
