The Story of First Knight

Alpha Light is a Knight with a vision, the Land of Iris where players help each other and live in perfect harmony. But his Evil Twin a Titan named Omega Darkness does not share the same vision with him. While Alpha Light from the First Knight Guild to help people, Omega Darkness form the Unity Guild to fight against him. Sorcerer Earth Sea Fire Wind form the Specialists Guild, he is a neutral party in this struggle but he might sway from good and evil from time to time depending on whether the Knight or Demon Evocation in him is overpowering.

Alpha Light met a Healer named Luna Venus along his journey through the Land of Iris, they have been a couple ever since and she became his greatest support for his Quest for better world. Luna Venus had a younger brother named Apollo Mars who is also a Knight, she get him to train under Alpha Light so that he could assist in the Quest for better world too. Apollo Mars later met a Rogue named Mercury Venus and they have been a couple ever since. Alpha Light made the new couple his Guild Advisor so that they can help to recruit people to help him with his Quest.

Alpha Light and Luna Venus later got a son named Hydro Dynamic, he became a Knight and train under the guidance of Alpha Light. Apollo Mars and Mercury Venus is also having a son soon, they are going to named him Hydro Static.

From Level 37 to Level 38

Level 37:
Hunt Pilferer until achieve Level 38.

PS: Been Pumpkin Hunting for the pass three weeks during the Halloween Event, create another Level 20 Knight named Hydro Dynamic just for the purpose. I manage to get it to Level 20 in just 8 hours and ask Grey Ghost the Guild Master of RSOULS Guild to lock 100% of the Experience Points. Level 49 Royal Knight Lord Crabivian was actually the Guild Advisor for Psycho Killer Guild and was doing recruiting for the Guild, he was kind enough to switch to his Level 28 Rogue Grey Ghost to help me with the Experience Lock as the Level 34 High Lander Psycho Titan Guild Master for Psycho Killer Guild is not online during that time.

Grey Ghost told me he was 37 year old, his younger sister, 32 year old wife and 11 year old daughter play the game too and all of them like to play Rogue. His sister got a Level 25 Rogue named Lady Midnight, his wife got a Level 28 Rogue named Angelica Bear, his daughter got a Level 26 Rogue named Dolphin Heart. This is the sixth family I knew so far and I have knew and make friend with Guild Master and Guild Advisor of six different Guilds. He needed a Level 33 +8 Weapon badly and trade me with a Level 41 +8 Weapon.

I am able to get the White Horse from Level 31 to Level 33 with my Royal Knight Apollo Mars during Mission Impossible and I was able to get the White Horse from Level 33 to Level 35 with my wife Assassin Mercury Venus during Mission Difficult. I was able to get the White Horse from Level 35 to Level 36 with my Knight Hydro Dynamic during the Pumpkin Hunting Halloween Event and manage to sell the Level 31 White Horse Mount for 60,000,000 Golds halfway through the Halloween Event.

A lot of players strike rich from the start of the Halloween Event by selling all the good stuffs they get from Pumpkins, I also manage to get about 50 Heaven Stones, 500 Experience Scrolls, 5,000 Effort Scrolls, 5,000 Lucky Scrolls 5,000 Moon Stones and 10,000 Fire Crackers from about 5,000 Pumpkins which I had collected over the three weeks Halloween Event.

Prices for these items had drop a lot three days after the Halloween Event started and prices of +15 Weapons, Knightmare and Dragon Mount had gone up too due to high demand.

Experience Scroll price had drop from 600,000 Golds to 150,000 Golds, Effort Scroll price had drop from 300,000 Golds to 50,000 Golds, Lucky Scroll price had drop from 100,000 Golds to 25,000 Golds, Moon Stone price had drop from 250,000 Golds to 50,000 Golds. Heaven Stone price had not change much and maintaining between 800,000 Golds to 1,500,000 Golds due to the few Upgrade Events.

Level 21 +15 Event Weapon price had gone up from 45,000,000 Golds to 120,000,000 Golds, Level 33 +15 Weapon price had gone up from 50,000,000 Golds to 100,000,000 Golds, Level 37 +15 Weapon price had gone up from 60,000,000 Golds to 150,000,000 Golds, Level 31 Knightmare Mount price had gone up from 40,000,000 Golds to 100,000,000 Golds, Level 37 Knightmare Mount price had gone up from 80,000,000 Golds to 200,000,000 Golds, Level 31 Dragon Mount price had gone up from 30,000,000 Golds to 60,000,000 Golds, Level 33 Dragon Mount price had gone up from 40,000,000 Golds to 80,000,000 Golds.

A Level 3 Knight named Knight Master choose me as his Guardian, he was 9 year old stay in Hawaii and keep asking for a Dragon Mount. His brother who is 3 year older than him had a Level 16 Titan at Katar Server. I give him six Candy to trade for Jack O Lantern, party with him and give him Horse Buff while I hunt Pumpkins with my Level 20 Knight.

A red named Mage named DUCE keep pestering my wife Assassin to give her a Blessed Iris worth 2,500,000 Golds for free. I told her nobody in the right mind would give her that for free, anything worth 100,000 Golds or below is still acceptable. I guess Begger these days have are classy and have better taste for fancy item mall stuffs.

Met a Level 25 Knight named chec while I was hunting Pumpkin, he kind of think I am honorable to share my Pumpkin with him and give me two Level 6 Physical Attack Mineral. He told me a lot of other players always Kill Steal from him and he was trying to save up money for a Level 35 to 37 +4 Fairy Armour Set. He claim one of his friend told him that it was rare and would sold him one for 89,000,000 Golds, I told him I would sold him one for 10,000,000 Golds and I will still make my profit. I told him that he could shop around in other server for any class and trade it with Collector Ryl, if he really could not find it I will make one for him.

He wanted to do a damage test at Sarrissa 6 Server Arena with my Level 20 Knight, he was kill by me the first time with just normal skills on him. He came back the second time with a lot of buff from horse and minerals and finally manage to kill me. Our damage test were disrupted by a high Level Ranger named High Strung from The White Lighter Guild, she keep mocking and PK us even when we told her that we are trying to do our damage test. I told chec to meet me at Sarrissa 4 Fountain and give him two Good Accessories to help him with his Status, because only one out of his three Accessories are good. I also tell him that he could buy Combination Box from Merchant Geres to combine three bad Accessories into a new one.

Manage to hit the 10,000,000 Golds Jackpot from the Moon Statue with a Poor Moon Stone, guess that is the best thing that happen to me for this Level, for this Event and for the entire of my gaming history. The price money reduce back to 100 Golds after that and it take a lot of Moon Stones to slowly get the price money to accumulate back to 10,000,000 Golds. Manage to get a few Heaven Stone too, but Jackpot are hard to get as compare to Heaven Stone.

Manage to get my Guild to Level 6 with 940 Skill Point and 3,800,000 Golds, now I can recruit more new member and help them Lock their Experience Point for Skill Point farming. Most players would prefer to lock their Experience Point at Level 17 and hunt Ghoul at Prokion Temple, but I felt it is better to lock it at Level 20 after completion of Apprentice Training and learn new skills. The best is to lock it at Level 27 for hunting Orc as you have the 30 to 32 Armour Set and they give the highest Skill Point at that Level.

A Level 3 Titan named Venommuz choose me as his Guardian, he was 14 year old and stay in Italy. He told me he just been scam by another player of a Level 8 Pony. I give him six Candy to trade for Jack O Lantern and he sold me two Heaven Stone for 600,000 Golds each and an Item Drop Booster for 100,000 Golds each to thank me for the help. I also gave him three good Accessories to help him in his Quest later and he sold me an Item Drop Booster and Skill Point Booster for 100,000 Golds too. He had play the game before and manage to Level to Level 20 in just two days. I invite him to join my newly upgrade Level 6 Guild and I give him a Heaven Stone for completing his Apprentice Training so fast.

Manage to get my Level 1 +4 Odin Reputation Fairy Armour Set with 100 Reputation Points, it is a Level 1 Armour Set with Defense of Level 20 Armour Set. Now I had to try to get my Level 20 Knight to train ten Apprentices to get 100 Reputation Points to wear it. There is a glitch in the Game which could not be resolve for long time ago, whenever the Helmet of the Reputation Armour is equipped, half of the wearer head would disappear and there will be a Treasure Chest attach to the Left Leg of the wearer. Now I am all set to become the Headless Horseman for the coming Halloween Party.


Level 1 +4 Odin Reputation Fairy Armour Set


The Headless and Treasure Chest Glitch with the Helmet Equipped





Level 38:
Open my Status and assign three Status Points to my Constitution Status.
Talk to Master Knight to Learn Passive Skill Knighthood and Anti Magic to Level 5.
Horse achieve Level 36, talk to Animal Trainer and learn Pet Skill Increase Defense to Level 5.

PS: Finally manage to kill Grand Red Dragon at Level 38, it spawn while I was hunting Blood Frenzy and Doom Slayer. I use Level 10 Offensive and Defensive Hauling, Level 5 Divine Shield, Devotion and Protection, Level 12 Physical Attack, Physical Defense and Magical Defense Minerals, Large Attack and Defense Potion, Lucky Scroll, Item Drop Booster and reserve the last of the twelve Buff Slot for Candy.

With my two new Passive Skills which Increase my Physical Attack and Magical Defense, Level 41 +15 Glowing Weapon and Level 40 to 42 +4 Fairy Armour Set and three Crest Of Rainbow Rare Accessories. Recovery of Health Point and Mana Point with Candy and delivered a few Level 5 Armour Break and Weapon Break on Grand Red Dragon constantly, I finally kill Grand Red Dragon and got my revenge. Although I did not get any Rare Accessory but it was a great milestone and achievement for me.

My initial planning was to party my wife Archer with my Temple Knight, or my wife Assassin with my Royal Knight for killing Grand Red Dragon, but after trying out killing it alone with my Temple Knight party plan is not necessary any more. I can party my Temple Knight with my Royal Knight too, because I have create my sub character under my wife account and my wife sub character under my account. Careful planning had allow me to form an awesome two player party which their skill can compliment each other. My wife Archer can do healing for my Temple Knight or her Assassin while they fight, or my wife Assassin can Snare and Poison while my Royal Knight Concentration Skill will ensure higher success rate for the Assassin Skill.

I have also created my Specialist and Titan under another account, so they can party with any of my wife or my main or sub character for Skill support too. The other better option is to party the Titan with any of the Knight and get both Attack and Defense Boost from each other. If I had another computer for the third account then I can form a even better party of three, the possibilities are unlimited and I am starting to enjoy the game more and more.

Mission Difficult Part Two

Completion of Mission Difficult, it took her almost two weeks to achieve Level 32.

Level 20 to Level 21: Ghoul

Level 22: Mummy

Level 23: Harpy

Level 24 to Level 25: Skeleton Soldier

Level 26 to Level 27: Orc Soldier

Level 28 to Level 29: Orc Fighter

Level 30: Orc Axeman

Level 31: Sand Golem

PS: The process is slow as most of the time she is collecting Quest Items instead of crowding with other people at the Temples. It is good in a way as she can kill monsters with just one or two hits, in the process she get a lot of drops from the monsters. There are so much stuffs to sell which both character cannot cope I had to dump most of the low Level +4 Glowing Weapon and Fairy Armour she got from monsters at Velpist Temple.

Met a Level 42 War Master named Grouchy when my sub char Apollo Mars was in Merchant Mode at Sarrissa 4 Fountain, she is very observant and recognized my Trade Mark Storm Dragon Fountain Shop and ask if I was also Alpha Light. I use to setup shop in front of the Store Keeper because I can easily access my stuffs to stock up my shop whenever they are sold out, guess that would mean I am selling my stuffs at very reasonable prices. But I have to move my shop to the Fountain after I got the Storm Dragon Mount so that I would not be blocking other players from accessing the Store Keeper.

Grouchy was from America, she told me that her husband got a Level 42 Royal Knight named Tucker T and her daughter got a Level 44 Assassin named Socrates. Her daughter room mate is the Guild Master of Blutundherre Guild and have a Level 44 War Master named Mighty Mouth. She had just started two months ago, almost the same time I started this blog and the new character. This would be the fifth family I knew through out my journey through the Land of Iris, I never expected the game to be so popular across such a wide age group.

Finally manage to make a Level 21 +15 Knight Event Weapon Light Of Odin after so many weeks, Heaven Stone price had remain at 900,000 Golds since the last Upgrade Event and I could not get much Heaven Stone for upgrading my Weapon. Most of the Heaven Stone are the one I get from monsters drops and I have to buy a few at a higher price of 750,000 Golds to speed up the process of upgrading.

This time I did not depend on the Upgrade Event, I did a double upgrade instead. I did the alternate upgrade between two Weapons so if I break one I will still have another. I did break one while trying to get it from +13 to +14 and end up with one +14, I did not want to start another alternate Weapon all over again and decided to take the final risk to bring the +14 to +15.

I did a lot of research on upgrading on the forum and follow most of the reasonable suggestion those experience players provided. First and foremost the upgrade should be done at the Guild Hall where there are no other players on your radar so that there will be less lag. The other ways of reducing lag are to go to a less crowded server, remove all your other equipment and zoom in the camera from bird view on your character. I find all that to be reasonable and follow through all the way for my upgrading process, it did help a bit and the Weapon really did not break only until I manage to get it to +13.

Secondly, you should only confirm twelve seconds after you applied the Heaven Stone to the Weapon. The same is done for normal Smelting Stone but the duration is claim to be one minutes according to the ratio of success rate. It did increase the success rate for me a little bit better as compare to my previous experience, but I also found that if I manage to click the confirm button within one second of applying the Smelting Stone or Heaven Stone to the Weapon seem to work better for me too.

Last but not least, you should only apply one Heaven Stone every twenty four hours. I did not really follow this as I do not really have the patience to wait that long. But I find this reasonable too as compare to the other myths of running around town in alternate direction for odd and even upgrade and standing on the position at the edge of town center spawn point to match your upgrade to the number on clock position.


Level 21 + 15 Knight Event Weapon Light Of Odin


Level 30 +4 to Level 32 +4 Healer Japanese Fairy Armour Set

So according to my breakdown analysis of all the Blow Out Sales Packages, I think the Loot Seeker Package at 799 Aeria Points with 637% Profit and the Attack Defense Potion Package at 199 Aeria Points with 625% Profit are the best choice. The Experience Glory Package at 899 Aeria Points with 468% Profit and the Skill Experience Package at 799 Aeria Points with 439% Profit are also worth buying as it give more than 400% Profit and it will help to keep the sales of items more balance.

I would not recommend Platinum Moon Stone Package at 299 Aeria Points and 541% Profit as the Items from the new Moon Statue are very random, you will need a lot of luck to make the best out of this Package. I did not include the One and Only Package at 7999 Aeria Points and Rune of Protection Package mainly because the Rune of Protection included in both the Packages cannot be traded, but it would both be a worthwhile Packages for those who wanted to do serious upgrade on their equipments.

First Time Spender Event!

This is really a great event!

They are giving 50% extra Bonus Aeria Points for all Buyer and another 50% extra Bonus Aeria Points for First Time Buyer. That would be 100% extra Bonus Aeria Points for First Time Spender!
