This the Season to be Jolly:

 Horizon:

 Nothing much had happen as there are no event, they even postpone the maintenance for a week just to enjoy the holiday. Music had been spamming the chat claiming that he was ban for no reason, but most player knew that he was using bot. He had been saying some player are duping item, but until now there are no solid evidence to proof it.

Instead of complaining about the game everyday, he could have do a fresh start and get over it. Why just sit there and do nothing about it when you can try to improve on the situation, unless you doesn't really have the knowledge and experience to achieve what you use to have or even better surpass it.

 

Aphelion:

Penkichan had been trying to get Rune of Agility, I give him 10K of Animal Heart, 2K of Maze Token and 10 Extreme Juno Essence which should be enough for two. The next day he was trying to get Shiva Pet, I give him two Collar, 1 Premium Bless and 50 Bless and Curse Book. He should be able to farm a lot of stuffs with the Pet AOE Skill.

 

 Cringee had decided to try it out after seeing my post on Discord. He was having a hard time finding Lilit at Floriam Cave and nobody bother to help him, I switch toon to recall him to the location. I didn't know he was from Horizon as he never really speak much on both In Game or on Discord, after he message me on Discord I met him in Town and give him the same Newbie Package to help him enjoy the game better.

I had help him with the Four Realms Quest and he manage to level to Level 185 in few hours, I give him Godly Weapon, Phoenix Wing, Peacock Wing, 3 Gift of Star, 3 Gift of Nebula, Rune of Fire, Reconstruction and Bravery. All these stuffs will help him in Pet Leveling and Boss Killing, he should be doing fine for the rest of the journey. 

I give him the Christmas Title which I got from Santa Boss and give him 15K Token for the 185 and 200 Title, the Christmas Title is better but only last for 30 Days but the 185 and 200 Title will last forever. I had got the 185 and 200 Title for six of my 185 toon, just need to get more Token for the same Title for another two more. It was mainly because the other Title from the 185 Box also expired after 30 Days, and two other toon is using the Zoo Keeper Title for Pet Leveling.

Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer:

 

Aphelion:

 Finally manage to get the Rudolph Pet with 20K Christmas Token, mostly got lucky with Laca Ball which give 2.5K of Christmas Token. Found out that it need Level 120 for Level 5 Buff, Level 1 when it is Level 25, Level 2 when it is Level 50, Level 3 when it is Level 80, Level 4 whe it is Level 100 and Level 5 when it is Level 120. And each Level need 5 Premium Bless, 500 Curse and 500 Bless, this will cost about 6.5T in total just for the 5% Attack and Hit Rate, as compare to Shiva Pet which need 1.75K Bless which cost about 875B.

Shiva still more useful with AOE Skill, even though it was Nerf from 50 Target to 25 Target. Summer Pet AOE Skill is 50 Target but the damage seem less as compare to Shiva when I try it on Boss. Scorpion got Poison and Cockatrice got Stun, Magic Eel seem to have Stun too but can't be sure as it can learn AOE Skill at Level 1 like Kelpie as compare Scorpion and Cockatrice at Level 38.

Christmas Party:

 

Horizon:

 The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Most players expect the event to be better as the Christmas is getting closer, but they decided to end the Advert Laca Ball early at the recent maintenance instead of the 24th Dec Christmas Eve. At least we got 800% Jewel Event, but the Upgrade Event still at 200% instead of the 250% which we expected.

Zed had been trying to low ball and offer lower than the usual market price to buy stuffs, he had also been trying to sell his stuffs at a higher price. He had piss off a lot of players and most of them decided to ignore him, he had not been able to get most of the stuff he needed for the Jewel and Upgrade Event. Both he and Avatar had also lost interest on giving Windy Buff even though I had give them a lot of Stone of Wise, guess they realized that it is very troublesome for other to be busy with their own stuff and suddenly players are keep asking for buff almost every few minutes.

Avatar had not been able to get Heaven Stone Grade 5 for the Upgrade Event, I give him 90 of it together with 6 Heaven Stone Grade 7 to help a bit. He only manage to get his gear to +25, he should have farm more and stock up on stuffs for the event if he had not been lazy. Zed had been very hardworking farming a lot of stuffs, but he never really contribute much to the community and only use it for his own leveling. Not sure why both of them need so many toon at high level, it is just a waste of precious resources.

I had give a lot of stuff to Avatar and Mother Nature, the most recent one are 500 World Cup Festival Box when I heard they going to craft Gold Bar to get the Golden Key from Laca Ball. They do get a lot of stuffs from Fox Tail and Hide later, but they just spend all of their gold for other stuffs when they manage to sell it. It is a vicious cycle of selling and buying which keep bring them back to the point when they become poor with not much gold.

 

Manage to Jewel most my gear and Upgrade some of them to +30, but will not be using them in near future. Still using both my Raid Boss Killer more for farming, it is more efficient to spawn Raid Boss while farming. Using them will save me the trouble of switching toon for the kill, but I will still have to hunt Fox and Zombie to replenish the stuff I use for Laca Ball after the Christmas Event is over.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to farm enough fragment for the Party Invitation, they had increase the drop rate for it few days after the event start. Not many players actually had the chance to participate in this event, think only about 30 to 40 players manage to get the Party Invitation.

As expected the event start with Hide and Seek few hour before the party start, then it continue with Monster Spawn. All the players who participate in the Christmas Party Event were given the Santa Claus Costume, Christmas Title and Santa Claus Pet. The Christmas Party is just another Monster Spawn Event, never really get much stuff as other players are able to kill faster than me.

Found out that the Immortal Boss at Juno is different from Dratan, it does not have a level limit of Level 166 and it give random item at every 250 hits. It is able to get the Gift of Universe Accessory if lucky, but it doesn't help much for leveling. It is good that pet are allow again in Juno, and I can use any of my high level toon for it.

 

Still farming for another 7K of Christmas Token, need 20K of it for the Rodolph Pet. The Santa Claus Pet was not that impressive, it is just like the usual Legendary Pet with higher Attack. Hopefully the Rodolph Pet will be able to give better buff, but 5% doesn't really matter that much. Saw some Halloween Pet too, but not sure how they got it and what kind of buff they give. Guess just have to wait till the Halloween Event next year to figure it out.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas:

 

Horizon:

They had start to Nerf the Laca Ball, a lot of players are unhappy about it. They had replace Lvl 5 Jewel to Platinum Tool Aid and Platinum Rune of Protection to Golden Magnifying Glass x 5. There are option for Panda Box, Heaven Stone Grade 5 x 2, Gold Booster x 3, Lvl 3 Jewel and Moonstone Box x 3 or Ascadia Treasure Box, Socket Reset Card, Pink Drake Egg, Blue Pan Flute and Moonstone Box x 3. But the first option still better as it give useful stuff and the top prize is not random.

Element of Iris prize had been change from Party Potion to Exp Scroll and Fire Cracker, Exp Scroll is still useful but the Fire Cracker is totally useless. Hopefully they will make Laca Ball for Fire Cracker next week, if not most player would just trash it. This week only have Horse Blood and Dragon Heart for AGR, Succubus Pet, Snowman, Lucky Scroll and Effort Scroll. Those who complete Burbank Affinity will have advantage for this but still not really worth the effort.

Usually the event should be getting better as the days become closer towards Christmas, but from the current situation it had become great disappointment. This clearly show that they do not really understand the game, they should have put Production Material which drop from mobs instead of item which can be crafted or get from Affinity Shop. Hopefully they will listen to player suggestion and improve on it.

Aphelion:

They also screw up the event big time, player only able to get about 25 to 50 Party Invitation per day. How is it possible to complete 25K of it before Christmas? It will take about 3 years to get so much unless they reduce the amount needed or increase the drop rate for it. The Boss for the event also very hard to find and kill, Rudolph is very tiny and hard to see from other normal mob while Santa always disappear when it get hit and can't really stun it.

A lot of Pet Collar also doesn't work, so it kind of repeat the same mistake for Easter and Summer Event. A lot of player are frustrated with it and less and less players are really interested in the event anymore. The Legendary Pet are suppose to have higher status and buff, but I am still skeptical about it as the Summer Pet doesn't really impress me.

Christmas Event:

 Horizon:

 Christmas Event had started, mob are dropping Cookie and Decoration. They had remove the Sharoyan, the NPC for Santa Puzzle to play Scissor Paper Stone. At least it help to free up 9 inventory space, but the Cookie is just like the Empty Basket for Halloween. There are 5 type of Christmas Candy instead of 6 for Halloween, guess they had run out of idea for new event. Other than the mentioned change, the rest is still the same.

They had Nerf the Laca Ball for White Token, Lvl 15 Jewel had been replaced with Lvl 5 Jewel. Jewel Protection Scroll had been replaced with Coin of Hero too, the Element of Iris still remain the same. Lvl 21 Weapon Manual give Coin of Hero, Magic Shield, Shield, Party Speed and Party Attack, Gold Bar give Coin of Master x 50, Big Snowman, Snowman, Golden Key and Golden Chest. Fox Tail give Affinity Booster, Affinity Seed, Sour Plum, Golden Key and Golden Chest. Fox Hide give Epic Exp Spell, Epic SP Spell, Super Haste Potion, Golden Key and Golden Chest.

I foresee there will be a lot of Party Potion and Affinity Booster by the time the event end, the Golden Chest is pretty useless but the Golden Key will help in opening the World Cup Festival Box. Guess other than farming stuff for the Laca Ball there are really nothing interesting for this Christmas Event, it is kind of disappointing as compare to other event. At least Rain Drop give better reward, Halloween had new Exp Pet and even Moon Cake Ingredient give good reward for Laca Ball.

 

P.S.:

Sharoyan NPC is still around, only instead of playing Scissor Paper Stone it become Wheel of Fortune. To play it we need to trade 15 Cookie for Santa Hat to wear it so that we can see Snow Pile and collect Snow Flake.

Aphelion:

They are also going to start Christmas Event too, from the information given we are suppose to collect 25K of Christmas Party Ticket. I foresee it will be another disappointment like the Pre Patch Event, but this time Foxy is not longer around to receive the result of my farming. Not sure why they want to make a separate map for all event, at least normal mob still drop Easter Egg and Empty Basket. I never bother to do the Summer Event, but I still do the Halloween Map just for the Pumpkin.

They should make Tairan Center and Event Map like Personal Dungeon like Temple of Forgetfulness, at least player can avoid the crowd and doesn't have to fight over limited farming spot. I realized that I didn't reform the Gift of Star Accessory for the Royal Knight Boss Killer, after I had done that it seem like Royal Knight now had higher Attack and Defense as compare to Ex Ranger. I was expecting Ex Ranger to have higher Damage due to the buff but it end up otherwise, guess the status still play a greater part in the character build.

 

P.S.:

Mob outside Christmas Map drop Santa Puzzle and Decoration, Daily Quest require to collect 500 of each type. But only Christmas Map drop Token and Party Invitation, the Gift Box that spawn every 2 hours give Lottery Ticket ad Quest Token.

The Nightmare Before Christmas:

 

Horizon:

 

Server seem to be more active since the start of Advert Laca Ball, but seem like the economy still doesn't improve much. A lot of players are getting a lot of good stuffs, but they are unable to sell it because there are only that much gold. Wise Man say only Fool rush in, those who brought a lot of stuffs from the start must have start to regret as they got no more gold to buy more stuffs when the price become cheaper.

A lot of players also start to sell pets and +30 Weapon cheap just to get more gold to buy the stuffs they want or need. Weekly Maintenance had been postpone to next week, think they are preparing to start the Christmas Event soon. It kind of match the timing for other server to start the Christmas Event too, which is rarely happen as other server usually start their events early and end late. Now it seem more possible that both side are having the same team, one day they might merge.

Aphelion:

Still farming for Troll Mucus at Four Realm, start to put up some Maze Token, Animal Heart and Troll Mucus for sale in Trading Agent. As expected there are high demand for Maze Token and Animal Heart but doesn't seem to have any demand for Troll Mucus, so most players are still doing Extreme Juno for the Rune and nobody really bother about Phoenix Wing as they can still use the Rainbow Wing.

Have try using Pet Buff on Boss Killer, seem to improve a bit with higher damage, faster speed and higher defense. Able to farm about 600 to 800 Animal Heart on each by Daily Quest, so should be able to get 5K of Animal Heart in about 3 to 4 days. Now is just have to try getting more Paragon Shard to trade for Rune or just sell Animal Heart.

Try Gilese and Frost Core, as the mob are not aggro it is harder to farm or complete the Affinity. It also require 500M Gold Entry Fee, so it is not advisable to switch channel to kill Boss. As it is not important to complete the Affinity after the new patch, I can just take my own sweet time to do it. If it get boring, I might go around Juno to farm 10K of Gold Card from Treasure Stone to trade for Caraxes Dragon Pet with the Trillionaire NPC.

Christmas Event going to start on Monday, very much look forward to it. Think the rewards will be better than other server, had to make tough choice of which server to play for the Christmas Event as both side will be having it at the same period. Have been playing both server at odd hour on both for the past few weeks to avoid the crowd, but the good thing is this server is easier with AOE Pet.

Laca Ball:

 Horizon:

 

Mooncake Event had ended, they had a new Laca Ball for the left over ingredient. The rewards for the Laca Ball are better than the Mooncake itself, foresee most player will rather keep the ingredient for Laca Ball instead of trade for Mooncake. They had Legendary Iris for Lotus Seed, Legendary Skill Pill for Egg York and Platinum Pet Pill for Flour. Other rewards are Pet Fairy 7D, Blessed Iris, Resurrection Scroll and Large Chocolate.

Other than that they also had Laca Ball for Black Token, rewards are Griffin Birdie, Safe Socket Scroll, Mid Grade Reformer, Platinum Adrenaline and Heaven Stone Grade 2. At least they didn't Nerf the the drop rate this time, and a lot of players are happy with the Laca Ball rewards. 

 

P.S.:

They had start the Advert Laca Ball with new patch, Element of Iris are getting rewards like Affinity Booster, Candle x 3, Affinity Booster Seed x 3, Party Attack Speed and Party Attack Power. Cracked Spear, Zombie Nail, Forgotten Talisman, Zombie Skin are getting rewards like Theos Chest, Darkness Chest, Darkness Key, Party Attack Speed and Party Attack Power.

 

Mob are dropping White Token now, and it had more choice of rewards like Polar Bear, Warehouse Storage Card,  Level 15 Jewel, Platinum Rune of Protection and Charm of Sio. Or you can choose the second tab of Safe Socket Scroll, Legendary Scroll, Jewel Protection Scroll x 3, Sublime Scroll and Jewel Fusion Scroll x 5 or the third tab of Advance Grade Reformer x 5, Mid Grade Reformer x 5, Socket Reset Card x 2, Chaos Jewel Fusion Scroll x 3 and Golden Magnifying Glass x 3.

Kind of disappointed with the Advert Laca Ball as the rewards are cater more for the higher level, but the White Token is good with wide variety of choices for the rewards which you prefer more. Think more players will choose the first option for the White Token as the value of the item are worth more.

Aphelion:

Manage to get the Phoenix Wing for Healer and Night Shadow, also manage to get a lot of Troll Mucus and Animal Heart. The Boss Killer doesn't really work that well as expected, it kill slow and will die once in a while. But the Pet Leveler are working very well, manage to level 26 horse to Level 130 in few days.

Ghost contact me on Discord, he need some help and wan to trade his stuffs from Horizon to stuffs in Aphelion. As I do not wish to see him quit Horizon Server, I give him the same Newbie Package which I give other. He already have a Level 200 Specialist name Death God, now he is trying out new Ex Rogue name kane.

He doesn't have much patient and keep asking if I got Premium Battle Pass or Level 200 Sorcerer PVE Gear. Not sure what other had told him but he had clearly overestimated my ability, I am only doing Solo and does not have so much resources like those big guild. If he really need that much help, he should have join those big guild, I am only able to help Newbie till they reach Level 165 or 185.

Four Realms:

 

 

 

Horizon:

Other than log on for Attendance, never really do much. The server seem dead with not much activity, Avatar seem very upset about it. He had found happiness, but he still choose misery. Guess he is either a Sadist or he got too much stuffs that he didn't want to let go. I was wondering why he is still trying to tell other that he is poor and keep getting stuffs for free, it is not normal for someone who would rather go hungry without food and still want to spend money on game.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to level up ten toon from Level 166 to 185, I was expecting it to be completed in about five days with two toon per day but I complete it within three days with about three to four toon per day. Out of the ten toon, there are seven which is setup for testing of different class. Royal Knight Alpha Light, Ex Ranger Hype Shadow, Wizard Acid Burn, Specialist Fire Wind, War Master Omega Darkness, Night Shadow Dark Omega and Archer Luna Venus.

It will allow me to switch between dual class easily as I don't have to worry about the gear other than the weapon. The Royal Knight and Ex Ranger are setup for killing boss with their perk max out, I will try it out when I find time after I had get the Phoenix Wing for Archer and Night Shadow. Switch Assassin Mercury Venus to Ex Assassin to try out the different, it is also setup as Pet Leveler like Royal Knight Blue Water. Actually they are able to wear Peacock Wing at Level 175, but since it is easy to get it to Level 185 I might as well do it.

 

Not sure what to do with Royal Knight Apollo Mars, but Royal Knight Crash Override is level up from Level 70 to Level 140 to replace Mercury Venus for Floraim Cave as it is faster to level pet at Tairan Center instead of Temple of Forgetfulness. Elementalist Earth Sea is level up to Level 168 just for the Level 4 Windy Hand, the rest of the farming toon remain the same.

The Four Realms had become easier after the recent patch, the mobs doesn't really hurt much and the number of mobs to kill for completing the quest had been reduced. It can be completed in about two hours with Superior Platinum Blessed Iris, but if using Platinum Blessed Iris it will reach Level 173 and have to wait for the Daily Quest the next day. The experience and level gain are as below:

Level 166

1st Quest 5% (Collect 10 Vampire Blood and Poison Berries)

2nd Quest 20% (Collect 10 Well Water and Orge Scrap)

Abondon Juno Realm:

Level 184

31st Quest 48% (Kill Forest Protector Saphira Boss)

Level 185

32nd Quest 0% (Talk to Forest NPC)

 

You will get one Perk Point Scroll every Quest from 21st Quest onward and get a total of 13 of it. Biggest jump in level is with 26th Quest which jump 3 level and the next one at 28th Quest which jump 2 level. From Level 175 onward you will jump at least a level per quest, so it is only the start which is slower.

 

Notice a few players who are sore loser, they will get very upset if they did not win any event or did not get any drop from boss mobs. One of them is VII from Universal Enemy, he is unhappy that he got stuck and I manage to win the Race Event Bonus Round. I am not really that much into winning as I always wait till the third round or no player participate so that the Game Sage or Game Master will not feel bad.

 

The other one is Naveli from Xannon, he was AFK and I got the Boss before him. He was unable to get any drop and he decided to PK and kill me instead, he must be thinking that I have Kill Steal his Boss but if he hit it first without AFK he should be able to pick up the drop. 

 

This had happen to another player named Party who had been getting recall for every Boss I had spawn, he must have been very bored and decided to disrupt my farming when he did not get the drop even after he spend time killing it. He give up after a while as he must have realise that instead of wasting his time to disrupt my farming he could have go and find something else better to do.

Same as Ankou and all his Alternate in Uncrowned King Guild, he will log three toon and use Pet AOE to farm at Tairan daily at Channel 2 around afternoon server time. It is easy when you disable the pickup and just let the pet spam AOE, but with three toon farming together it will have no more space for other player to farm. I am not sure if he is using three different PC to play, but I think it is against the rule to use more than one toon.

He is also AFK most of the time and harass other players when they try to farm at the same spot with him. I hope he will get banned soon as he is not a good player and might be using hack to speed up his kill. He did try to spawn Boss to kill me once but was not successful, it was later when he kill the Boss within a few hit that make me suspect that he is using hack.

Reborn:

Horizon:

Nothing much happening since the IP Block is back again, I only log on for Attendance and maybe spawn and kill a few Raid Boss if I got the time. They did a very stupid thing by trying to remove the Item Search Target Arrow for P2 Pet Pickup, but it was revert shortly after a lot of players show unhappiness about it. They can't just do what they want without consulting players opinion, it will only make things worst and lose more players.

 

It is like they try to make money by selling the 185 Jump Box when they remove the Cube Buff and Nerf the Drop Rate during Halloween Event to boost the sales of Elephant Collar. Now it make it hard to believe they care more about the players than making money themself,  we had to start to think they are just Gamigo using a new face. If they really care about the players as they have claimed, they would have fix the IP Block and start the Codeless Migration by now instead of doing stupid stuffs that piss a lot of players off.

Aphelion:

Halloween Event had ended, the new patch had attract a lot of players to farm Card in Extreme Juno. I foresee there will be a lot of cheap Rune, so I decided to just focus on the Red Bull Quest to get the Phoenix Wing for all Class. As there is a Black Friday Package, I decided to get it for the Reborn Skip. The Buff is not as good as expected as I did not see much improvement, guess it is not worth the effort to actually doing the quests.

There are 20 quests which allow you to gain a level from Level 165 to Level 185, but the amount of stuffs needed are insane. The stuffs required are listed as below with estimate cost in bracket:

1. Chenille Fabric 5K (5B)

2. Coin of Master 25K (75B)

3. Rune Ore 1K Each (40B)

4. Exp, Pet and Tower Box 100 Each (3B)

5. Soul Orb 7.5K (75B)

6. Frog Leg Candy 2.5K (25B)

7. Moonstone Box 1K (20B)

8. Gilese Fragment 5K Each (100B)

9. Chaos Particle 5K (50B)

10. Assassin Secret Order 3K (30B)

11. Epic Exp Spell 150 (15B)

12. Magic Carpet Collar 50 (500B)

13. Platinum Blessed Iris 500 (250B)

14. Platinum Pet Exp Pill 2K (300B)

15. Super Pet Exp Booster 3K (30B)

16. Super Exp Booster 5K (50B)

17. Curse Removal Scroll 5K (50B)

18. Buff Lock 150 (1.5B)

19. Rubix Cube 250 (2.5B)

20. Phoenix Pet Crystal 500 (5B)

From the list above we can see that most of the stuffs are useful and not worth using them for Reborn Quest, so it is still better to do the normal quest for leveling. The only few item which are worthless are Chenille Fabric, Soul Orb, Frog Leg Candy, Gilese Fragment, Assassin Secret Order, Curse Removal Scroll, Buff Lock and Rubix Cube.

Manage to complete the Tier Spender finally, use the Cash to buy a lot of Premium Character, 14 Days Buff and Pet Fairy. At least I do not have to worry about shortage of these stuffs for a very long time, I was thinking of saving up Cash for the Reborn Skip earlier. Guess it just speed up the process by skipping 6 months, now I just have to focus on farming for the stuffs I need and level a few toon to Level 185.

Mooncake:

 

Horizon:

 

Mooncake Event had started, but it also show the bad economy of the server. A lot of players are trying hard to sell their stuffs cheap but still nobody really buy them, it had been very quiet since Halloween Event even though there are a lot of new players joining. Some players even start going to less populated Pandora server and there are rumor that they are going to merge the server, some got bored and start doing weird stuffs to keep the game interesting.

Aphelion:

Beamer try to get my help to get a Shiva Pet for Valence, I wanted to just give him the pet directly but he prefer to learn about it. As he didn't know a lot of stuffs, I had to show him that he need two collar to complete the pet quest. He also need to get the Curse Book from Tairan NPC, I also give him Premium Bless Skill Book for the AOE. As he doesn't have much stuffs, I give him the same Newbie Package which I give Mad Spring and Avatar so that he can pass it to Valance.

Manage to get another Rune of Fire for my Pet Leveling Toon, not sure if I am going to level it to 185 so that it can wear the Peacock Wing. Since the Pet Shop Business is good, I might consider making another Pet Leveling Toon to cope with the supply and demand issue. Not sure why Pet Business had always been good, don't really see much new players join. Maybe it is because they recently updated the Guide and a lot of old players suddenly realise that they do not have some pet for buff.

They going to have another new patch soon, it will make the Extreme Juno Card able to trade for useful stuffs. I wonder why I am unable to get Spade for 2 to J, it will be an issue when they start the new content. The remaining rune which I get doesn't really make much different after I reform it, even though the Weapon Attack had been increase from 20% to 40% I didn't see much different while killing Boss.

I am also in progress of getting Phoenix Wing for all class, still not sure if I am going to use Rainbow Wing with Legendary 5 x Accessory or use Phoenix Wing with Gift of Star. At least I start getting Godly Crafted Weapon whenever I see them cheap, once everything are in place I will start leveling them one by one to Level 185. After I had done all that, the only thing left will be Reborn. Still can't decide if I should take the pain to level from start or just use the Reborn Skip, six time for the permanent buff is really a crazy and expensive progress.

Twilight:

 

Horizon:

Halloween Event is coming to an end, got bored and decided to do the Party Invitation Quest to get the Pumpkin Pet. Found two quest scroll cheap at 290M and 350M, all the other had been listed at a very high price of 3B to 5B. It is just a normal pet and the quest scroll will be useless after the event end, since Avatar doesn't want the pet I decided to give it to Hans Solo. Manage to get a Wolfrik Pet too, transfer it to my Holy Bless toon since it is the only one that require to level up now.

Aphelion:

Manage to get about 3 to 5 years supply of Halloween Costume, decided to hold a Costume Party for my toons. Knight Tier 2 and 3 are Joker and Jail, Titan Tier 3 is Hulk, Healer Tier 3 is Cat Woman, Mage and Sorcerer Tier 3 is Pirate, Night Shadow Tier 3 is Skeleton, Rogue Tier 3 is Doll. Manage to get the third Rune after some farming, now other than Pet XP and Attack I got Damage Monster too.

Not sure if I would want to continue to farm for more rune, the other for Weapon Attack, Hit Rate, Evasion and HP doesn't seem to worth the effort. Maybe just to get another Pet XP one for Pet Leveling so that I can use it for other toon to level up Horse and Drake, also planning to level up a few toon to Level 185. Main reason is because Four Realms is easy now and they had the 185 Set, it will be good for pet leveling too with Peacock Wing.

Pumpkin:

Horizon:

 Never  really play much since they Nerf the drop rate and having IP Block, the server are also not active during the weekdays. Avatar finally decided to buy the Werewolf Pet at 40B instead of trying to get from pumpkins, but he is still not happy after he got the pet. Well at least I don't have to keep my promise of giving him the pet when I get one, between Happiness and Misery he still prefer to choose the latter. There is nothing much I can do to help him, it is his own personal choice.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to get Rune of Fire, it was by chance that I encounter a Fire Serpent at Four Realm while hunting Boss. The Fire Trophy it drop are enough for me to get a lot of Paragon Box from Laca Ball, if I try to get the Shard from Daily Quest it will take about 25 Days with 200 Shard per day from killing Boss at Extreme Juno. Now I can level pet even faster, the pet shop business had been very good as there are a lot of new players joining.

 

Manage to get Avatar to join the Spawn Event, get a lot of Empty Basket and Pumpkin from the Halloween Boss Box. I am also not sure how I manage to get two stack of 9999 Box while I am killing the Pumpkin Boss, I ask Avatar if he get any but he say he only get a few pumpkin. I give him one of the stack and he got 100K of pumpkin from it, I only get about 50K of pumpkin so I think he lie about not getting any rewards.

 

Since there is a Pet Quest Scroll that need 25K of pumpkin, I decided to try it. It end up getting the same Pumpkin Pet only with 1K additional Cash, but it require 125 Voucher instead of 5. So it is still better to spend some time opening the pumpkin for rewards. The same goes with Token, Moonstone and Chaos Ball, it is better to use them to get rewards instead of selling them. The value of the rewards are always worth more than the price you sell them, unless you are really lazy to spend time to get the rewards.

 

I am not sure why a lot of players still prefer the other server than this, maybe it is because they are afraid of losing superior status. But if you already had the knowledge and experience, you will still be able to achieve what you had on other server. What is even best is that there are always helpful players who are willing to give you what you need, and you will be able to do the same after you had play for a while.

Nerf and Bingo:

  

 

Horizon:

 

The drop rate had been Nerf, usually it take 30 mins to fill up my inventory but now it took an hour. There is no point holding an event if they are going to Nerf the drop rate, might as well let players sit around all day and do nothing. A lot of lag spike and disconnection too, what even worst is that the IP Block is back again. Not sure how long will it last, but I really can't be bother to use VPN just to play a lousy game.

 

Aphelion:

 

Manage to be the only one to find Game Sage Didine in Dratan and also the first to find him  in Tairan in Bonus Round during the Race Event. He told me that I will receive a Mystery Key for additional prize on the website from the Game Master, I am not much bother about it as they always forget about sending me the prize. 

Game Sage Til Death came out with another challenging event call Item Bingo, took me a while to figure it out but still confuse when he actually hold the event. Only 3 player show up for the event, one is Game Master Nature Boy and another player named Outlast, he actually thought of just reward us with prize just for showing up but the Admin Goofy want him to continue with the event even though not much people show up.

Now is the confusing part as each item is link to a number, and we are suppose to make a card using the item we have. The number range from 1 to 75 and all the numbers ending with 1 and 6 are link to B, 2 and 7 is I, 3 and 8 is N, 4 and 9 is G and 0 and 5 is O. He told us to choose 5 numbers from our card for the draw, so I choose 8 16 23 42 and 49.

We then proceed with the normal Bingo game where he will call out numbers one by one and we will see who manage to get 5 numbers in line. Outlast won the first round, and I won the second round by getting the last vertical row with 10 25 45 55 and 75. Then the confusion start at third round when I got the second horizontal row with 11 32 13 29 and 25, but they say I should be using the five numbers I which I give from the start.

So I wait until I get 8 16 23 42 and 49, but they say my number should be 10 25 45 55 and 75 instead. I try to tell them that is the winning number from second round and not the number I give from the start, but since all of them insist they are right I will just accept it and continue with the game. Halfway through the game Til Death went over to Nature Boy to discuss something, guess they realize that they had make a mistake and decided to ask Nature Boy not to win it so that I will have a chance.

 

They cannot do much about the other player but it is still a very nice gesture from them, and seem like I am fated to win the last round I manage to get 10 25 45 55 and 75. Outlast get upset and leave the game before they announce the final result, he seem to behave a lot like Ankou who think he is the best. A call came in and Til Death had to take the call, he told me he will give me the prize later.

I went to settle a trade with other player in town who are looking for Midnight Werewolf and Vishnu for Pet Buff, make an easy 250B in just a short period. It was already very late at 3 am and I decided to setup shop and sleep, saw Til Death PM me the next day morning when I woke up at 7 am. I try to reply but he was AFK. As I will participate in many more event, so I am in no rush to claim the prize.

They had a new patch to help Newbie to level from 165 to 185, now the mobs it Four Realms will not attack players and they will get their 185 +28 Set with Level 6 Jewel with a new starter quest which only require them to kill 10 of each different mob. I decided to try using all my Level 166 toon to see how good is the rewards, to my surprise it even come with three accessory which boost Hit Rate, Defence and HP. It would be better if they also come with New Rune, so I will not have to farm Extreme anymore.

Now there are no need to complete Gilese Affinity to get the Quantum Tunneling Device to craft the Level 185 Armour Set, the only draw back is they still giving Perhnite for PVP instead of Tourmaline for PVE. Another draw back is that the weapon are mostly Weak Fusion with a few Strong Fusion if lucky, not sure if anyone will be able to get Godly Crafted. With this new patch, I foresee the price of 185 Armour will start to drop and the price for Godly Crafted Weapon will start to raise.

Away From Keyboard:

 

Aphelion:

 Been busy with farming Animal Heart and Paragon Shard at Extreme Juno for Rune, manage to complete my Level 200 Maleficent PVE Set. Manage to complete Extreme Juno Affinity too, still in progress of completing Red Bull Wing Quest and Gilese Affinity. I had collect 1K of Maze Token and 5K of Animal Heart, just need to get 5K of Sapphire and Emerald Shard from Jaguar and Polar Bear. I had also collect most of the stuffs for Red Bull Quest, just need to get 1K of Troll Mucus and Magic Ball.

Daily Routine for Halloween Event will  be hunting 30 Ghost and 250 Pumpkin, the tricky part is to get the Pumpkin Boss. But once you complete the quest once, you will get the summon scroll for the Pumpkin Boss. Found out that there are pumpkin in Gilese too, and you don't really need to wear Pumpkin Head as the AOE for both Toon and Pet will hit it without the need to see.

They had add Immortal Boss at Dratan due to its popularity in Juno, decided to try it out as will be able to use pet there. Took about 3 to 4 hrs to Level my toons from Level 165 to Level 166, the speed of leveling will depend on the Attack Speed. Pet Leveling will only work at close range, long range doesn't seem to work after much try.

Decided to make New Toon and see how fast to Level from Level 1 to Level 165, but encounter issue with Hit Rate at low level. Manage to resolve the issue with Rune that give better Hit Rate, got from Level 1 to Level 45 within 5 minutes. Pet also Level from Level 1 to Level 65 within 5 minutes, seem like a good option for Pet Leveling if the Experience Lock for Guild will work.

Same like Quest, the Experience Lock for Guild doesn't work. Manage to Level to Level 165 in just 5 to 6 hours, the speed is still three times slower than doing Starter Quest. But it does provide a good option for AFK Mode other than Merchant Mode or Pet Leveling. It doesn't help in Leveling those Buff Pet, so Temple of Forgetfulness and Tairan Center still the better option for that.

Horizon:

They had decided to start the Halloween Event early, a new Werewolf Experience Pet named Wolfrik had been introduce. It is very rare chance to get it from Pumpkin, think it is easier to get Pumpkin Pet by killing Pumpkin Boss and get Quest Scroll. 

They had also add Level 185 Jump Box to Item Mall, this will make it easy to get Windy Toon. It only cost about $100 to get one, so $200 will be able to complete both Specialist and Elementalist. But the item is not tradable, so you had to gift it to the Toon. 

The Weapon and Armour Set is +15, and give very good seal with Speed Boot and Cool Down Helmet. This had completely change the the gaming community, high level is no longer hard if you got the money to spend. $100 for a Level 185 Toon with Good Gear is very cheap as compare to almost $600 spend on Experience Booster and a lot of time to farm for the Gear you want.

Chaos Theory 3.0:

 

Horizon:

Fall Event had end, and a lot of players are complaining that the Drop Rate is reduce. Game Sage Smokey state the fact that the Drop Rate is set to have the mobs drop stuffs at certain percentage and then the different stuffs the mob drop will be split between the fixed percentage. This had proven my theory that green mob drop better, it may be had to understand but I will try my best to explain it.

Let say they had set the server to have mobs drop at 30% chance, out of this 30% about 25% will be Gear, 4% will be Token and Moonstone and 1% will be rare drop like Heaven Stone. If you kill white mobs, they will drop Manual and the Manual will take up a certain percentage of other drop and cause their drop to reduce. So since I do not want Manual I would prefer to kill green mobs for better drop of those stuffs which I want more.

Not sure if those Event Stuffs are include in the Quota, but if it is then less drop of those common stuffs should be encounter during most event. But so far I had never encounter any reduce of drop during event, so I can safely say that Event Stuffs should be a completely different Quota. But the strange thing is the drop rate for other stuffs had been better during event and it become worst after they end the event.

So it kind of make me pounder if they really Nerf the Drop Rate before any event to make it look like they increase the Drop Rate during event. It is like those sales event purposely increase the price and reduce back and claim that it is a big discount, like an item had been selling at $20 and they increase it to $40 and give 50% discount.

So if that is really the case, assume that normal time Drop Rate at 30%. They reduce it to 15% just before the event and increase back to 30% during the event to make it look like a 200% increase. This will not be a very wise move as players are very sensitive about minor changes, they usually will know how many stuffs they get in an hour and will know that the Drop Rate had been change when they doesn't get the same amount of stuffs in that same period of time.

It had become more Pay To Win than Free To Pay as I notice the recent changes they had made, Jaguar Collar cost about 65% less before the Migration but now Elephant Collar cost 3 times more. Even Costume Cover and the Extender had increase in price and the conversion rate for their In Game Currency had been always higher than the previous publisher even if they claim the price is the same with 10% discount.

 

They do not understand the important of having more players, if there are not enough players to support the game existing players will leave the game too. So it is very important to have a balance between Pay To Win and Free To Play players, if there are no more Free To Play players the Pay To Win players will also suffer. Pay To Win players need Free To Play players to farm stuffs, Free To Play players can earn gold through their hard work while Pay To Win players can take it easy.

Aphelion:

Been farming a lot of Empty Basket and Pumpkin, the Pumpkin mob even drop the Treat or Trick Box too which give additional rewards. The good thing is we can trade 5K of Empty Basket for 100 Pumpkin with NPC, we can also trade 100 Empty Basket to 100 Candy of our choice. But we still have to open Pumpkin one by one for rewards with Scarecrow, so I use the normal trick of positioning my mouse cursor at the selection and keep clicking to open fast.

They host a very nice event of Monster Spawn, with a lot of Boss and Pumpkin for us to kill. They even spawn a lot of rewards for us to pick up after that, although it cause a lot of lag but we still have a lot of fun. They also give all player 1K of Chaos Ball, it really help the game economy by having more stuffs so that the price could be cheaper.

The best thing that happen is they put in effort to make a Price List for players to refer, this will help to stabilize the game economy by having a fixed price for everything. Although a lot of players are skeptical about the benefit, but I did see a lot of improvement over the months.

Halloween Event:

 

 

 

 

 

 Horizon:

 

They had decided to remove Cube Buff for the recent patch, a lot of players had been very upset about it. It had make Leveling more difficult, and a lot of players decided to just sit around for attendance and not going to do anything until they bring the Cube Buff back. It is not really all bad new, at least they did update the Item Mall with new stuffs even though some of the pricing doesn't really make sense. 

The Fall Event had also started, I was actually planning to farm some Boosters to help with the server economy until I encounter IP Block. It was not for a very long period, but since the Halloween Event is going to start on other server I decided to give this event a pass. Since there are no more Cube Buff, the Game Master Buff doesn't really appeal anybody much.

Aphelion:

Halloween Event had started, as expected the rewards are much better. I had save up all the Halloween Candy from the Tier Spender Rewards just to prepare for this event, manage to complete 4 Daily Quest with just 10% of the Candy. The remaining of the Quest would require me to collect Empty Basket and Pumpkin, as it require killing of same level mobs it will be a good time for me to do Extreme Juno for the Rune.

I might also consider doing the Red Bull Quest for the Wing after I had finish with the Rune from Extreme Juno Quest, then it will be Frost Core, Gliese and Maze. Manage to get 6 Costume Box from the Daily Quest, 3 for Night Shadow, 2 for Rogue and 1 for Mage, decided to dress up a few of my toon to match the Halloween Event. Hopefully I will be able to get Knight, Healer, Sorcerer and Titan one to complete the whole collection, with the amount of candy I had left I should be able to complete Daily Quest for another 18 more days without any effort.  

Manage to see Beamer join the server, I give him the same stuffs which I gave Mad Spring before to help him. He had been very grateful for all the help I gave him, but it is really nothing much as there are always abundance of stuffs on this server. They will understand after playing for some time and they will do the same for other new players in the future when they got enough stuffs.

Till Death Do Us Part:

 

Horizon:

Rain Drop Event had ended, manage to get 2 Heaven Stone Grade 12 and 3 Legendary Iris. Give the 3 Legendary Iris to my Apprentice Hans Solo as he will need it for his Vald Quest later, he had not been playing much as his parent only allow him to play on weekend now after one night he play late and cannot wake up the next day morning.

New patch had introduce new rewards for the Attendance System, the new rewards that replace Ace of Diamond are as follows:

• Day 30 - Gold Token x10
• Day 60 - Pet Fairy Ticket (7d)
• Day 90 - Skill Point Booster x50
• Day 120 - Key for additional bag 1
• Day 150 - Key for additional bag 2
• Day 180 - 90Lv Jump Potion
• Day 250 - 5 Legendary Skill Pill
• Day 300 - Item Drop Booster x50
• Day 350 - Warehouse Storage Card
• Day 400 - Memory Scroll Expansion Card x1
• Day 500 - Experience Booster x50
• Day 600 - Gold Token x15

The rest of the rewards for Attendance Token and Title remain the same from the previous time, they also allow Merchant Profession above the limit of Level 55 now. Most players are able to make their Night Shadow and Phoenix to become Merchant, if not there are a lot of stuffs they are unable to trade. The rewards from the Attendance System also make sure players are able to get some premium stuff like the Phoenix Quest, at least we are able to expect more improvement in time to come.

Alphelion:

 

Been farming for Coin of Master the whole weekend, manage to get another 45K of Coin of Master which bring my total number to 95K. Also manage to farm about 55K of Token over the 4 Days as they start the event on Friday and end it on Monday, I will be spending another few days to clear the Token. During the process I had help two Newbies named Nightmare and Nekone, give them a good P2 Pet which will help them in their quest.

 

I join the Hide and Seek event and mange to get a Platinum Event Ticket, it give a Master of all Event Title which give good Status Boost and cool Artifact Wing. Guess it is because I am the only one who manage to find the Game Sage Til Death at Mondshine during Round 3 and the 2nd Player to find him again during Bonus Round. 

 

This Game Sage had a habit of hiding high up in the mountain at very hard to reach place, most of the time players will be getting stuck at the slope and unable to reach his location. It is the most challenging Hide and Seek event I had ever participate, and it kind of improve my skill of mountain climbing in game over the months. 

 

It is a good way to explore the map and discover new things through all these events, if not most players only spend their time in Juno, Tomb, Floriam Cave, Misty Crayon, Tairan, Four Realms, Maze and Extreme Juno. Egeha had become popular after they introduce the new patch to make it Level 200, Frost Core had also become popular when the mobs drop new skill book. Dratan, Merac, Streiana, Bloodymir and Mondshine remains empty with nobody to explore unless there are events there.
