Speedy Gonzales:

 

 A lot of happening recently, mainly due to the holiday season I think. A young player name Vinai add me to her friend list, mainly because she is curious about the Bad Boy song which put on Channel Chat. She say her father always like to sing it, so she is guessing I should belong to the same age group.

She break her Witch Staff during the Upgrade Event, she took the risk of 80% Success Rate. She is considering buying the Reset Card from Item Mall just to change the Class to Wizard because she only got Weapon for Wizard. I feel that it is a bit too extreme as it will be easier to just find a Weapon for Witch, so I ask her to wait while I try to get help from some of my friends.

I was unable to find Long Shot on the other server, so I try to get Colombo mimi to help. But I am not sure why she didn't approach Colombo mimi for help but decided to make a new Healer instead. Guess she decided to just use her Witch as Alternate for Haste Buff, and her Healer should be using for Cleric Holy Bless later too.

What worry me most is that she wanted to complete her Skill Point Farming fast and also Level Up Fast, she manage to complete her Skill Point Farming in just 2 days and Level Up to Level 120 in just 3 days. She had been staying awake and addicted to the game without any sleep, this will affect her health condition a lot. I had help her with getting her Merchant Profession with the Certificate of Guardianship which I got from Moonstone, I also give it to The God Slayer as he also need it for his Merchant Profession.

To my surprise The God Slayer is actually Blood mage which I had help long time back during the first Fall Event, I am glad that he did not really quit the game. But his style of playing is weird to me as usual as he still want to Level Up fast, he still doesn't want to get the benefit of the Guardian System and join Guild for Experience Lock and do Skill Point Farming.

What even puzzle me more is that he doesn't even bother to upgrade his gear and prefer to use +4 gears he got from Elite Monsters drop. But the good thing is he finally start to explore about Jewel and focus more on his Skills, he also mange to Level Up fast and became higher than the Old Apollo Mars in just a few days. He refuse to do Extreme Cube to get the Buffs and also refuse to get Windy Buff from other players, so although both he and Cleri is similar in some ways but they are also totally different in two extreme opposite ways.

Spam Bot seem to be very active these days, I manage to find the previous Spam Bot still at Till the last Treant when I Recall another Spam Bot to the same location. So they kind of spamming each other and also keeping each other company at the same time. Kind of funny to see that, but still had to thank TuckerT for discovering the method 12 years ago. Now it had become a tradition for me to do Operation Tele Tubbies in memory of an old friend.

Game Master did a Pet Hide and Seek Event, I manage to be the second one to find his pet. It is a location which I use to like when I need some quiet time, it use to be a Drake location but had become a Dimension Gate after the Map Update. Manage to win a Goalden Ticket from the event, I try to give it away but nobody actually want it.

As I am not staying in America or Europe, I didn't think they will send the prize overseas even if I manage to win it. As I had already had a lot of Keyboard and Mouse, it will be better to give to those who really need it. Krystael Dagger assure me that the prize will be send to any countries as the event is open to all, so I just had to stay up late for the 2nd December Twitch Live Stream again for the Lucky Draw.

Since I already had a Goalden Ticket, I thought I might as well participate in the Screen Shot Contest. I also participate in the Take a Hike Day and Shuffle Event, think I mange to win 2 Grade 8 Heaven Stone from the Shuffle Event as only Sly and me actually participate in it. I think Sly mange to figure out the second location after he saw my post for the Screen Shot Event, I also manage to figure out the fifth location after I saw his post for the Shuffle Event.

If I really did win the 2 Grade 8 Heaven Stone, I will give it to Sly as I got not much use for it. I had been giving all my Item Drop Booster to Mother Nature as she told me she need it, this is also a way to thank her for all the Windy Buff she gave which help in my drop farming. Now I just had to find out what Elvis need to return the favor of his Windy Buff, but that will be a bit difficult as he seem to had everything he need.

After the Mooncake Event, the 16th Anniversary Event start. What surprise me is that the Mooncake Event never actually end and is running together with the 16th Anniversary Event together. We had to collect Sugar, Flour, Egg and Cocoa, 25 of any Ingredient Type will be able to get Candle which give 100 Skill Cool Down and 40% Attack Speed for 2 Minutes.  5 of each Ingredient Type and 1000 Golds will get Chocolate Cake which give 50% Experience and Skill Point for 5 Minutes.

Guess Candle are much better than Chocolate Cake as Chocolate Cake is just the same as Stripe during the 4th of July Event. I think both the Mooncake and Anniversary Event are better than the Fall Event as Mooncake is selling from 25M to 50M and I think Candle will be selling at 100M to 150M. I can get about 100 Mooncake per day and 50 Candle per day, so I will be able to make around 2.5B per day and 5B per day just by selling Mooncake and Candle. Fall Event only get about 1B per day with Boosters while Insect Collection Event get about 3B per day with Chaos Smelting Stone.

Long Shot is worry about the Server Merge again, this time there are some players who also heard about it too. He is going to lose some of his toons again, and he is not happy about that. He also told me that got one Level 178 Sorcerer is going to challenge the Merac Castle Siege, so we might lose the Castle Ownership next week. Actually I don't really bother about it that much as there is nothing we can do about it, but he seem to be too much involve in the game and see it as a competition. I hope he and the others will be able to enjoy the game like me as a casual past time, it is just a game after all.

Social Experiment:

 

Had been busy farming for Boosters during the Fall Event, they had extend the event by another week as usual. Had been doing a Social Experiment during the event by selling the Boosters at a higher price, it is still a reasonable price with Experience Boosters at 18M, Skill Point Boosters and Item Drop Boosters at 15M.

Diesel doesn't understand why I am selling my Boosters at higher price while other players are selling at lower price just beside me, he was very surprise when I still manage to sell all my Boosters in the end even though the price is higher. It is very hard for me to explain the theory behind the whole experiment, but at least I manage to teach him how to sell his stuffs at a more reasonable price.

It is a sales tactic that most of the retail business use in real life, they will put similar products at different pricing side by side and it will help them sell the cheaper product faster. So what I am doing is actually helping those players beside me sell their stuffs faster, and since there is a demand for Boosters and not enough supply of it most players would not mind the slight price different and still buy my Boosters.

A few smart players who buy stuffs regularly from me will still ask me to lower the price for them, so they are the one that really understand the theory behind my Social Experiment. Overall I still make more gold as compare to previous event even I didn't really farm as much Boosters compare to previous event. I am more focus on preparing for the Advent Laca Ball in December and farming for Pictorial Book items, never knew there are a lot of items which are overlook by me as I do not have much information about it.

Found out that the following items are use for Advent Laca Ball: Fireworks, Pan Flute, Drake Egg, Sasquatch Fur (Sasquatch 12, Red Godey 22), Treant Fruit (Little Treant 15, Aged Treant 19, Treant 26), Horn Beast Eye (Horn Beast 16, Great Horn Beast 24), Rusted Shield (Corpse Ranger 16), Ghoul Poison (Ghoul 17), Drake Scale (Drake 18), Bandages (Mummy 19, Corpse Sergeant 25), Harpy Tear (Harpy 20), Orc Ornament (Orc Fighter 25, Orc Sergeant 29), Raw Wood (Treant 26), Soft Sand (Sand Golem 28), Salamander Tail (Salamander 31), Goblin Ear (Goblin Scout 37), Grass of Juno, Stones of Egeha, Rain of Strayna, Snow of Bloodymir.

There might be more items for the Advent Laca Ball as I had heard players saying Myst Eye and Thick Liquid from Poison Myst 39, I will update on the list after I actually participate in the event next month. At the present moment I just keep farming for those items I need for Pictorial Book and hope that they are also the same items for Advent Laca Ball. I had trash all the Fireworks as it is not useful at all and sold all the Pan Flute and Drake Egg, but I still got those Elements of Iris on a few toons.

Mooncake Event had started after the Fall Event end, we are able to collect Flour, Lotus Seed and Egg to make Moon Cake with Lorrine. 10 Mooncake Trade for a Full Mooncake and Full Mooncake Trade for the Following Prizes with Domain Merchant Landy:

10,000 Gold

50,000 Gold

200,000 Gold

500,000 Gold

2 Heaven Stones

Mooncake give 20% Attack Speed and Movement Speed Buff for 5 Minutes, so since the prizes are not attractive enough most players would prefer to use the Mooncake for the Speed Buff instead of trading them for prizes.

 

Future Planning 2.0:

Had been using one of the old Luna Venus for Farming of Boosters, I had new plan for the future while I am doing that. I want to stagger the level of different toons in such a way that I can farm for Pictorial Book stuffs, I also heard that the Advent Laca Ball in December will be using those Pictorial Book stuffs too.

 

Going to Level Up old Hydro Dynamic and one of the old Luna Venus to Level 40, they can hunt Level 37 Goblin Scout and Blood Frenzy and Level 39 Poison Mist. They will be hunting Empty Basket and Pumpkin at Level 41 Gnoll Soldier during the Halloween Event as I found a spot with two Pumpkin spawn.

 

One of the old Alpha Light will be Level Up to Level 33 to be same as new Alpha Light, they will be use for hunting Level 30 Elder Drake, Level 31 Salamander and Level 33 Pilferer. 

 

While the other old Alpha Light will be Level Up to Level 32 for hunting Level 28 Sand Golem and Level 29 Orc Sergeant. Hydro Static will be Level Up to Level 27, it will be use for hunting Level 23 Orc Soldier, Level 25 Orc Fighter and Level 27 Orc Axeman.

 

Hydro Dynamic will be Level Up to Level 24, it will be use for Level 20 Harpy, Level 21 Skeleton Soldier and Level 22 Dark Goddess. Omega Darkness will be Level Up to Level 17, it will be use for Level 13 Werewolf, Level 15 Treant, Level 16 Horn Beast and Corpse Ranger and Level 18 Drake.

 

Earth Sea Fire Wind will remain at Level 12, it will be use for Level 8 Jaguar, Level 10 Wandering Zombie and Level 12 Sasquatch. One of the old Luna Venus will be Level Up to Level 5, it will be use for Level 1 Deer and Fox and Level 4 Dire Wolf.

 

Level Up:

 

Been busy during the Game Master Buff, but never expect it to be so hectic. The original plan is to farm for Erebus Set and Level Up New Apollo Mars to Level 53, but last minute decide to Level Up Old Apollo Mars to Level 75 to wear the Erebus Set and Level Mercury Venus to Level 53 for Merchant Profession as there are too many stuff unable to trade.

Now the Old Apollo Mars is able to kill Erebus and Grand Devilroad Kamira easily, will be planning to do the same for Hydro Static on the other server and also Level Up Mercury Venus to Level 53 for Merchant Profession too on the next Game Master Buff. Manage to get the Erebus Set except the Glove on the New Server, I am confident that I will be able to complete the set next time.

Long Shot is also able to Level Up his Knight from Level 10 to Level 75, he was lucky enough to get a Chaos Stone from Erebus. I got a Mage Erebus Boot from the Ancient Chest at Barren Eise Room, but Long Shot doesn't want it as his Mage is already wearing the Vampiress Set. His Knight is also wearing the Light of Odin Set from the Guardian System, he is able to upgrade it to +22 during the Upgrade Event.

I really admire his resourcefulness, he really never let any stuff go to waste. I would prefer to make Level 55 to 57 Set and Level 75 Erebus Set due to my Raid Boss Hunting, but he prefer to make full use of the Level 30 to 32 +10 Set and Level 50 to 52 +10 Set. 

 

I saw BoruPOL selling his Level 60 to 62 +22 Set for 20 Billions, it is a very nice set but I don't think there is not much use to me as it is mainly for Skill Point Farming at Temple of Forgetfulness at Level 60. It is like most players prefer to make a Level 13 +15 Weapon for their Skill Point Farming.

I also manage to kick start the creation of two Sorcerer for Windy Buff, I actually plan to start it next year after the Xmas Event but change my mind due to the availability of Game Master Buff. Manage to Level Up one of the Sorcerer to Level 31, but it is unable to do Class Change due to lack of Skill Point for the necessary skill. I decided to take it easy for the other Sorcerer and try to get more Skill Point for it. Although it is a waste of the Game Master Buff but ti will be more beneficial on the long run.

Halloween Event had ended during the recent update, what surprise me is that they decided to start the Fall Event again. It will be a good time to farm for Boosters again as there are very serious shortage of it on the Old Server. This time I should be able to sell it at a higher price of 15 Millions instead of 10 Millions and mange to make about 9 Billions instead of 6 Billions base on last time drop rate. I hope they will again extend the event by another week so that it will help with the shortage of Boosters on the Old Server.
