I was supposed to do the Christmas Giveaway but end up making 28B in an hour selling stuffs which I thought nobody want. And they say economy are bad, guess there are a lot of hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

 Got the Content Creator Title and 100K Cash from Goofy, hope my YouTube videos will bring more players to the server and also provide good information for existing players too.

Daily Trolling:

 

 

 

Horizon:

Daily Trolling as usual, but it got a lot of knowledge and wisdom to it. It is explained in details by the link below.

The last part was from one of my favorite YouTube Channel named Wah! Banana.

 One thing led to another, the art of trolling is what I had learn from Hardwarezone Eat Drank Man Woman Forum.

In order to understand the humour, you will need vast variety of knowledge and a lot of imagination.

Aphelion:

Olympus Killer need to complete his Antique Affinity for Egeha, since I had already finish making my Boss Summon video I might as well give him the Summon Scroll to help him with it. I also give him the 30 Affinity Booster which took me few months to farm as the drop rate is low, since he is asking about Gold Drop and Immortal Boss I also give him some Gold Stabilizer and Immortal Boss Speed Ptoion. I was lucky that my toons are name after Roman Mythology and not Greek, if not he might kill me.

Ex Ranger is Level 216 while Arch Wizard is Level 218, seem like Arch Wizard can level up faster due to the wider range for AOE. Usually both can reach Level 205 on first day doing 2 hours each, then they will reach Level 210 on day two. The third and fourth day start to show some different with Ex Ranger only gaining three level while Arch Wizard gaining five level. It become slower from Level 216 onward by gaining one level per day, at this rate I should be able to complete the wedding for my main and alternate by weekend.

Area Of Effect:

 Aphelion:

Decided to level up a few of my alternate from Level 175 to 200 to try out the different Level 190 AOE Skill for different class. As I had already level up the more popular dual class for each class, this time is to level up the less popular dual class for each class. I will explain in details about how their skills contribute greatly to their popularity.

Usually for PVE most players prefer to choose Magic class because of their AOE, Melee class are usually better for single target like killing boss. 

The best Magic class are as follows:

Arch Wizard Chaos Nova 15 Range and Meteor Strike 25 Range (Both Targetless)

Specialist Level 38 Lighting Shock 15 Range and Level 190 Earth Stone and Sun Explosion 25 Range (Level 190 Targetless for Earth Stone for Earth Sea Evocation)

Night Shadow Level 136 Deadly Light 20 Range and Level 190 Soul Eater 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Wizard Level 70 Chaos Nova 15 Range and Level 190 Black Hole 25 Range (Both Targetless)

Arch Witch Dark Smog 20 Range and Blood Suck 15 Range (Level 190 Targetless)

Witch Level 132 Dark Smog 20 Range and Level 190 Pentagram Curse 20 Range (Level 190 Targetless)

Elementalist Level 50 Ice Spike 10 Range and Level 190 Ghost Charm 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Cleric Level 59 Soul Purification 10 Range and Level 193 Forces of Wind 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

The best Melee class are as follows:

Ex Ranger Level 150 Arrow Storm 20 Range and Level 190 Earth Smash 15 Range (Level 190 Targetless)

Archer Level 38 Slow Shot 20 Range and Level 190 Earth Arrow 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Royal Knight Level 50 Sword Wave 15 Range and Level 190 Blood Bath 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Ranger Level 59 Storm Shot 15 Range and Level 190 Sun Kiss 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Ex Assassin Level 38 Multiple Attack 15 Range and Level 190 Dead and Destruction 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Assassin Level 59 Splitting Field 15 Range and Level 190 Boomerang Slash 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

War Master Level 44 War Stomp 15 Range and Level 190 Double Sword Strike 20 Range (Level 44 Targetless)

High Lander Level 122 Spin Chop 15 Range and Level 190 Axial Smash 20 Range (Both not Targetless)

Temple Knight Level 102 Shield Chop 15 Range and Level 190 Rising Strike Slash 15 Range (Both not Targetless)

As we can see the main quality for choosing AOE skills are Range and Targetless, without these two quality the skill is rather useless.

The duration for leveling range from about 2 hours to about 30 minutes during weekend double XP event, the main reason been most of the alternate are not perk as they are seldom use other than testing. The lack of 1000% Insane XP Spell also one of the main reason and the lack of pot to increase damage being one of the other reason too.

But overall the whole process went smoothly while I manage to complete all within half the time I expected, it became faster after the first try when I know what I had to prepare before I start to speed up the process.

I usually prepare the Level 185 Set to be swap at Level 182, the Level 190 AOE Skill Book is another critical point too. After equip 185 Set and learn the Level 190 AOE the remaining ten level become much faster.

Max Payne:

 

Horizon:

Halloween Event had end, manage to kill Halloween Boss Grimvine Jack. I am not sure why they prefer Stone over Stun, but I know they did try Snare. Stone seem to miss a lot and the Boss AOE will debuff us, so most of the time we are just relying on pots. Need a Temple Knight with 200K HP to tank while Cleric heal when the Boss hit 120K.

Phoenix:

Help Warth and Anaq kill World Boss as Anaq Stone doesn't seem to work and Warth Night Shadow always miss. They told me that nobody will be able to survive the Boss without Stun as it hit hard with 200K to 300K. I manage to level to Level 158 and the Phoenix Pet manage to level to Level 85. It is a slow and painful grind as I do not have much resource, I would be more attach to it if they make it easier to get stuffs.

Warth and Anaq had been helping me a lot with stuffs as they are more regular here, guess that is their way of repaying the kindness that I had show them when they first went to Aphelion. I am not sure if one day both they and Weed might decide to stay here for good and dump all their stuffs from Horizon and Aphelion to me.

I still hope they will play multiple servers like me as it will be able to enjoy whichever server with better event. But it is very hard to split the attention between two servers as it is much better to focus on just one server. I am still more toward Aphelion and Horizon mainly because one is easy while the other got better events, guess I will be quitting this server when I reach Level 165 and manage to level Phoenix Pet to Level 100 for Mount.

Aphelion:

New patch had remove Four Realm and make leveling easier at Mushroom Land, the Extreme Juno Rune which require 5K of Animal Heart, 1K to 2K of Paragon and Essence had become available in Affinity Shop for just 2B. The Level 165 Box had also been change to Level 185 in a move to make it easier for Newbie, a lot of players are disappointed with the new patch as they are expecting more content for high level.

As it is a good chance to make use of the new patch to level my toon, I had make a few hard decision to reorganize them which will cause a lot of issues. As I had manage to get a lot of Wedding Ring, I start to pair up a few of my Level 200 toon for the buff, so far I only manage to complete for Arch Wizard and Specialist, Royal Knight and Ex Ranger, Night Shadow and Archer.

I start leveling my main to Level 220 in two days over a duration of about 16 hours, manage to get two B8 Gear as the drop rate is bad. The Wonder Map is divided into four zone, Beach, Ice, Desert and Forest, each area had mobs to drop different gear and Giant Boss to drop wing. Beach drop Gloves, Ice drop Pants, Desert drop Boots and Forest drop Helmet and Shirt.

I decided to switch my Ex Assassin to Ex Ranger as it will be able to provide Wedding Buff to my main while it is doing Immortal Boss, I might plan to make it a PVP toon later if I manage to get the gear and accessory. I decided to change my Elemetalist to Arch Wizard as I want to had high level toon on all different account, it will be better for future expansion and if one day my wife might decide to play again.

I try the Level 200 Jump Pot on Ex Assassin as it will reset the Dual Class, I manage to level my new Arch Wizard from Level 175 to Level 200 in just ten minutes in Mushroom Land. Now my main is short of Boots and Wing and I got to farm for Ex Rogue and Arch Mage gears while I complete the Affinity. The leveling is fast at start with five levels upon completion of one daily quest, Jelly Fish at the Beach seem to be a good spot.

As the server did not have many active players, I did not encounter any Kill Steal like what Warth, Anaq and Weed had encounter before. I had always believe in doing the right thing at the right time to maximize the rewards with minimum effort.

Robocop:

 

 

Horizon:

Been catching Botter since Get Loose told us that he discover it at Merac. At first I thought it was my usual farming spot, but after visiting the location I realized that it was another location nearby. Both the location are good spot as the pumpkin spawn faster, but I prefer the other location as there are two pumpkin nearby to each other.

The one which Get Loose told us is XChardoX which is doing it at Channel 6, I found another one on Channel 5 which is named Mpox. XChardoX shift to Channel 2 after getting PK by Rick after he saw the Screen Shot which Get Loose posted and the Video I post. Another Rogue named Poetic Justice get PK by Rick too as he was nearby and could be the main toon monitoring his own bot.

Then drama started as batman claim Rick PK one of his friend and they start to PK each other alternate. But either way the whole PK drama is nothing related to the botter in my opinion. Sly had confirm that XChardoX is one of Rinsh alternate, but we are not sure if Mpox is in any way related. XChardoX is a Level 88 Arch Wizard and Mpox is a Level 71 Arch Wizard, from the video I can see that both are using Choas Nova AOE which is targetless.

XChardoX seem to have longer interval between the activation of skill, I think it is because he does not have any Skill Cool Down Reduction. But from the video it can be seen that both of them activate the skill before the pumpkin spawn and non of the active players would ever do so. They can argue that they are not really AFK as they might be monitoring it with another toon or using dual display.

Manage to win the Halloween Spooky Story Contest, the other player who won is Just Shot. Athena and Just Shot also won the Pumpkin Craving and Spooky Baking, Just Shot also won the Creepy Costume and Horror Film too. As there are not much players on both Horizon and Pandora, some prize are left unclaimed.

The prize for Spooky Story are 3 Safe Socket Scroll, 15 Legendary Scroll, 15 Socket Reset Card and 300 Curse Removal Scroll. Pumpkin Craving prize are +30 Weapon, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster. Spooky Baking prize are 100 Strong Med, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster. Creepy Costume prize are Costume, 500 Duration Extender, 500 Pumpkin and Basket. Horror Film prize are +30 Weapon, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster.

 Guess the biggest winner is Just Shot, but that is what most people expected as he had always been very enthusiastic on taking advantage of anything that come along his way. Moza had been trying to buy Easter Bunny for 1B, who in the right mind would even sell something that value at around 20B to her at that price. A few of them had been thinking that they own the server after they found out that only 7 of them are active and had brought Fawkes Gems to get the Loyalty Rewards.

Future Improvement:

 After playing for so long I think there are a lot of area the game can be improved, for starter they can improve the Hit Rate for Royal Knight as the buff should be related to their strongest qualities. The Rogue can also be given Evasion Buff too, or even better a Drop Rate Buff. All Class should have Stun Skill and AOE Skill, for AOE Skill the private server had been doing well with this improvement.

Next is to work on the Pets, for official server the pet HP and Stats had been low which make most of them useless at higher level. The private server had been doing it well in this area and even surpass it by the introduction of AOE Pets until they Nerf it. The Pets can be further improve on both servers by giving them more useful skill as follows:

Wing Tiger Speed Mount with Earth AOE

Wing Serpent Speed Mount or Chinese Dragon with Wind AOE or Speed Buff

Giant Tortoise Mount with Defense Buff or Water AOE

Phoenix with Resurrection Skill or Fire AOE 

Ox or Bull with Stun Skill or Attack or Berserk Buff

Nine Tail Fox with Charm Skill or Fire AOE

 

Golden Monkey with Drop Rate Buff

Garuda Speed Mount with Lighting AOE

 They can make the pet system in a way where we can fight them as a Boss and tame them to become pet, they should be able to battle each other with the Elemental System which is a waste just because most players are unable to understand it. The removal of Elemental System and the overly focus on PVP Balance had cause the PVE players getting Nerf.

For the official server, they should make leveling of both toon and pets easier and make use of the existing quest rewards better to suit the progress. The Pictorial Book and Affinity System should be design in a way that progress with the leveling so that the players would not have to make new toon for farming the production material or XP Lock to complete the Affinity.

 The private server lack of events can be improve by using official server events as an example which ensure that there are different events every months. And they should not limit the events to only higher level with separate Event Map but make good use of low level map and their existing quest like the official server to help newbie learn more about the game and enjoy it more. The single path progression and limited option had make most players quit at lower level when they encounter difficulty.

Pet Peeve:

 Horizon:

They had completely stop those below Level 50 to use World Chat, think it is a lousy move to stop the spam bot on Osiris Server but it will greatly affect all players as it will prevent Newbie from getting help. This move is very similar to the previous incident when they try to remove Pet Pick Up to prevent AFK Farming using P2 Pet, it just show how lazy they are to check on the server and prefer a more lay back approach.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to get most of the pets back, as it will be easier for them to give me the Buff Pet Package I don't mind losing out on about 30% of the pets just to gain a Rudolph Pet. The only issues is that I had to level all the pets again and it will take a few days, but the server seem dead with the lack of management with only a few active players so I don't think any Newbie will really need my Newbie Package.

Phoenix:

Speedy heard about my plan to save up on Cash to get the Phoenix Pet, since he got a lot of Cash to spare he gift one to me. I was thinking that I would be able to mount it at Level 50 after Evolution, but I was told they change it to Level 100. I don't think I will live long enough to see my Phoenix Pet become mount, it is like I almost thought I had to marry Lilit at Floriam Cave to continue my legacy.

Manage to win the second round of Hide and Seek, they give out Event Reward Box like what the Official Server do. It had some nice stuffs, but because the Training Game Sage had something important to tend to in real life he only had 1 winners for each round. Not sure if it was the first event host by Game Sage, but it kind of remind me of the Hide and Seek on Official Server where I am the few lucky one to win the prize first.
