Knowledge Is Power:

 Horizon:

Recently encounter a return player named Lavus, he was trying to get some help with the game and he happen to approach my toon Apollo Mars which is supposed to be AFK. He was very lucky that I was tending to my pet leveler which was log on the same laptop and I happen to check normal chat while I was doing that. I give him Phoenix Ticket and Pan Flute which he say he need, and advice him to go other channel for windy buffs as I saw Elvis is saying on world chat.

Not sure if he actually got buffed as I see him standing idle in town when Elvis had already finish giving the buffs and Kry is offering it at another corner, but I saw that he had already been recruited by Kry into Light Bringer Guild so I think he should be OK. I had been a talent scout in game and all the big guild seem to trust my instinct and try to recruit most of the Newbie which I had encountered everytime I mention them on the world chat or my gaming blog.

He get even lucky when Hannah heard about it and ask Elvis to do another round of buffs just for him, and I heard Hannah had try to help him a lot by giving him a lot of good stuffs. He never really ask much on discord whenever he got doubt about the game, instead he seem to trust me more and prefer to seek my help.

He manage to level up fast with help from mostly Hannah and me, he seem to reach bottle neck like most players at Level 128 when he use up all the leveling stuffs which he get free when he create new toon. I give him some LI and XPB to help him continue with his journey, and also give him a Level 120 Jump Box which will be useful for his Night Shadow.

Been supporting god, Avatar and Zed a lot during the Easter Event, as they got high level bunny and will be able to help farm a lot of stuffs for the server. It will still benefit the majority as the more stuffs we have will contribute to cheaper price, so on the long run more players will be able to enjoy the game more without having to work very hard to get enough gold to be able to use some premium item which use to be only available to Play To Win Players.

I guess that seem to affect Peanut a lot as he doesn't seem to be able to sell a lot of his stuffs and also make him jealous of Avatar and Zed, but his claim of farming 2.8K of Easter Eggs on Day 1 of the Event seem doubtful as god is only getting only less than 30% of that even though he is the top farmer. Peanut claim that he is using low level toon to help him farm faster, but that would hardly bring the different by such a wide gap.

It is the same during Halloween and Christmas Events where god only able to farm 2K of Pumpkin and Snowflake per day while some players are able to get 8K of it. I think Fawkes should start to look into all this if they are really so much into prevention of cheating for the game, but so far they seem to focus more on Osiris server as the problem seem to magnify much more as there are more players there.

Happen to log on for my daily attendance and saw Tremi trying to twist a quote from a popular movie, I can't help but to correct the mistake as I had some knowledge about it. Tremi had been one of the oldest players in game with an age different of about 20 years older than god and me, the other one would be mimi from Romania which I remember is even older by about 10 more years than Tremi. 

Most players in game are very old as the game had been around for 18 years, even if they start playing when they are young they would have been mature working adults by now. We have seen a lot of players gone as years pass by and we could only remember them by the things they did to help other players move forward, they had become a legend and most of us will continue their legacy.

Easter Event:

 Horizon:

Easter Event had finally started, new Easter Bunny Boss Poki will spawn every 2 hours on Channel 2 and 4 with low chance of dropping Bunny Leash and Big Event Box. Had try killing the first one at Channel 2 with other players but we all got nothing. They had make some changes to Easter Egg and Quest Rewards, haven't really start on that yet as I want to wait 2 hours for Raid Boss to spawn.

They had finally introduce the long await Auto Ignition and Auto Pick Up to new Premium Character Plus at 645 Cash (10B), and even allow selection of spawn location from the option setting. Premium Character Plus also allow unlimited Teleportation for Friend List, guess Premium Character Plus will be in demand and the price will go up.  

P.S.:

Saw something funny, Peanut actually take effort to use some of his alternate just to prove that god was wrong. I told him that he is just wasting his time talking to wall as god had already completed the quest 3 times last year, and he even got a toon name The Wall. He kind of get what I am trying to say and stop doing what most players would not even bother, think only a Narcissist will really be bother about that and keep trying to prove that he is right about everything.

Kind of see some improvement that he actually get my hint, everyone that had known god for years would have known that he just talk about the topic that he is interested. The argument will have go on forever if I never step in, and the world chat will fill with useless spam instead of meaning conversation.

Sesame Street:

Horizon:

Daily trolling as usual, my new trolling toon are able to use world chat yesterday night but I decided to postpone the trolling till this morning. Basically I was just busy farming on other server, and notice that Peanut had not been that active and seem to have stop all his nonsense. He seem to be hook on to Affinity and Pictorial Book recently and had issue trying to get most of the stuffs he need, if he had been nice to most players it might be easier for him.

P.S.:

I was told that Peanut is looking for me, but since it is my wife off day and we are shopping at supermarket I would not be able to response to him. I ask the friend who message me to see if there is anything urgent about it, but she also doesn't really know as nobody response to him too. I guess it should be either Pictorial Book stuffs or he just need attention.

I thought he had finally getting smarter but seem like he is back to talking to a wall and punching water again, guess there is no cure for stupidity. I am also busy farming Easter Egg and Pictorial Book stuffs on other server, so he just have to continue doing his stupid stuffs and try harder to get other players attention. 

He use to log a few of his toon to spy on my activity before, but I notice he had stop doing it recently. Guess he finally realise that he is just wasting his time, trying to do what he is bad at. Actually it is a very simple task as I usually only log 2 toon for attendance, if other see that one of it is not in town then I must be active. Guess with his limited IQ, it prove to be a real challenge for him.

Aphelion:

Manage to get about 1K of each type for Easter Egg, will need about 10K to complete the weekly quest. I thought I could go Easter Event Map to get the quest every 10 days as I remember it require about 2.5K as I had completed it within 3 days before, but now seem like it will take about 30 to 40 days for me to complete it. 

There seem to be a lot of new players joining recently due to the Easter Event, but I notice they didn't stay long and I think most likely they are disappointed after trying for some time. It is very hard for them to get help these days as most players are not active.

Egg Inc:

 

Aphelion:

Back to farming for Easter Egg after completing Guardian of the Galaxy Vol 3, the setup is over power as expected. Each toon take about 2 to 4 hours to farm for Pictorial Book stuffs, the whole process occupied whole day. But the result is fulfilling as I get lots of drop over the process, I did not understand why I had set this up a year ago but now it all become clear.

Now the stuffs will become rare items as most players did not have low level toon, they have to get the Drop Accessory from Item Mall which allow drop for mobs of lower level which cost 7K Cash. The Transformation Scroll at Merac are also very hard to get, got to do two run with full inventory of all 6 additional bags to get enough for Pictorial Book. The Pilferer one is even harder with only 20 of it after two full runs, at least the Blood Frenzy one is able to get 50.

I am not sure if I should give up on Titan if there is not enough time for the day, as it is not really that important according to the Pictorial Book. Still getting about 250 Easter Egg of each type, so will still stick to the plan of going to event map every 10 days to complete the weekly quest for the Premium Bless. I can get Premium Bless from Bloodymir Boss too, but it is a rare drop like the Affinity Booster of the Egeha Boss.

My focus will be on this server until the Easter Event start on the other server, I might balance between the two when that happen. But the main focus will still be mainly on this server as the rewards are better, I also got a lot of stuffs on other server which should be able to last me for few years.

P.S.:

Had notice that they had change the storage of Easter Egg back to 1, guess there are too many players botting at Easter Map. It is a very effective way to prevent cheat too, and I had also notice they are using the same method like the recent change on official server where the hitting of mob or picking up of item are block at certain angle.   

Horizon:

Peanut had been changing his schedule on his mission to bring misery to other players, guess he had fell for the trap after I troll and agitate him. He will drain himself out in no time and it will affect his health greatly, guess it is kind of a retribution for him for doing bad deeds. The new trolling toons will be able to use the world chat in 3 days, I could have level them to Level 100 and use it now but I feel there is no urgency in it.

The 12th horse is already Level 56 with 1 more level to go, the 13th horse is Level 39, due to the time zone different Peanut harassment on pet leveler did not bother me much. I am still able to level my horse at a slower pace, I don't think he can stay awake for 72 hours like what Cleri or Try Hard did. He will realise that all his effort are a waste of time, if most of the players continue to troll him daily he might become angry and start to do stupid thing to get himself ban.

If there are too many players complaint and quit, the management might have to step in and interfere with the harassment. The exchange of harsh words on world chat might also trigger the management attention, they might even consider removing the useless Game Sage even though he is the only one active now. Smokey and Crossy had step down from the Game Sage position, guess Warth and Anaq might be able to come back and enjoy the game. Crossy is the only good one so far with good knowledge and helpful to other players, now I know why Kry didn't want to take up the post even though she is over qualify for it.

Another situation might also happen when a lot of players keep reporting various issue with the game, then the useless Game Sage will be too busy handling the problem and quit after he cannot take the stress or work load. He might be able to continue to make other players misery his mission in life but he would not able to continue pretending to play nice and think he own the server.  

P.S.:

Have notice that some Fire Ore is still there when I wake up every morning, I thought Peanut kind of miss out a few due to tireness. But after I saw a few pet leveler idle on the spot, I realize that those spot just respawn early. I thought Peanut usual style will be doing it from Channel 1 to Channel 6, but from the recently observation he had change it a bit and start from Channel 6 instead.

It is still within my expectation as the slight change in his schedule and sequence seem very predictable, guess he is limited by his brain power and unable to adapt well to my random style of play. It will continue to agitate him after seeing that I am still able to level horse despite his change in style, it will anger him even more when my 12th horse is finally complete.

The decision for Fawkes to change Channel 6 into Non PVP is a really wise choise, it give us more choice and kind of limit Peanut ability to harass other. Guess it is like putting a leash on a dog and all it can do is just bark, that is why I say he remind me of Van Wilder movie but guess he didn't really get the point. Even if he is able to respond to my trolling, he will also fell into the trap of admitting that he is a dog himself. 

Guardian of the Galaxy Vol 3:

 

  

 

Horizon:

 

Manage to complete the remaining 3 trolling toons, and again the result surprise me. The War Master manage to hit Level 89, if not because of the Mass Disconnection which cause the lost of Elizabeth Buff it might be able to hit Level 90. It was still within my expectation as I had achieve similar result on Pandora with Ex Ranger. What really surprise me is the Archer and the Specialist which is able the reach Level 93 and 94 without any issue even though I got distracted to setup new phone for my mother.

 

The Middle Level Buff will overwrite the Elizabeth Buff, and the Game Master Buff also seem to do the same. But if we can use the Double Buff from the Game Master Buff to increase the Elizabeth Buff from 3 hours to 6 hours, imagine what level we would be able to reach with another 2 hours of HP and MP Steal. If we can replace the HP and MP Steal with Accessory, the Cool Down reduction will allow us to continue with another one more hour.

 

Even the Cool Down Reduction can also be replace with Accessory now, so the possibilities are really unlimited. The limit is only depend on how long the Boosters can last, usually it will be finish before the second set of HP and MP Steal expire. Guess the demand for Boosters did justify for the recent change in event rewards, and the shortage of it will affect the price greatly.

 

Actually completing the Apprenticeship for the Guardian System can be done in less than half hour, imagine the amount of Certificate of Guardian we could get if we have multiple accounts. The only drawback is we have to wait 24 hours for the toon deletion to complete, but it can still be able to do in bulk daily and get a considerable amount of it.

 

Aphelion:

 

Level 5 Set of Buff Pets for my farming toon, even activate Premium Character for Buff and use the 14 Days Buff Package and Guild of Light on all of them. Just want to see how over power they can be when I try to push their limit, I am also able to use Perks and Reborn Skip on them if I really want to. But that seem a bit unnecessary as Perks and Reborn Skip are better off save for higher level toon, I got 64 Reborn Skip which is enough for 8 toons and 20K Perks which is enough for 40 toons.

 

I also got 8 Wedding Rings too, so I should be able to use them on another 8 more toons if I really need it. But at the moment I do not really need to do that as I already got 3 toons setup to play with, I might work on the other toons if I got bored and need something to keep me occupied. I might try to level more sets of buff pets and keep it with my other toons, but since they are easy to level I don't think it is necessary at the present moment. 

Easter Event:

 Aphelion:

Easter Event had started, a lot of changes from the previous year. They had make a new Easter Event Map, but the draw back is players will have to buy Entry Ticket at 200 Cash from Item Mall. Guess not many players will be participating or just use it when they need to get the quest, I try out the event by farming while leveling pets in Tairan.

The new stuff I notice from the Easter Egg is the Achievement Booster, other than that the remaining stuffs are still the same. Not sure if I would try to farm for Pictorial Book stuffs as those toon below Level 165 are no longer possible, maybe by doing the normal Reborn might be able to achieve it but it will be a hassle to max the level for that purpose.

I am glad that I had created toons lock at different level for that purpose, I also have a few toons which I haven't level yet on other account which could be use for the same purpose later. Guess they never really put into consideration when they decided to start the new patch which let the players start directly at Level 165, not sure which smart ass actually suggested that.

They had start selling Easter Package, guess they are desperate to make money as it is almost the same like the Christmas Package which is similar to the Black Friday Package. Not sure if they are really making any money these days as there are less players joining the server, Phoenix is a major failure like Classic and seem like they did not really learn any lesson from it. 

 

 

 

P.S.:

 

 Was very surprise that I am able to complete all the 5 Farming Toon ahead of schedule, I was thinking of just doing one per day and complete it over a period of 5 days. As my Guardian Of The Galaxy Vol 3 require me to wait for 5 days before I can use world chat for the new toon, and I am lazy to level them to Level 100. I could have balance my farming toon here and trolling toon there by doing 1 per day on each side too, but I think if I focus more here due to the event I will be more efficient.

 

The trolling toons on the other side can actually wait, but I will see the situation and adjust accordingly. There are only 4 toons to focus here as the Level 33 Titan doesn't really had to farm on Sand Golem as it is not in the Pictorial Book. The Level 22 Rogue and Level 39 Royal Knight will be the main focus as the drop rate for Drake Scale and Thick Liquid are very low, the Level 4 Healer and Level 12 Sorcerer are easier as they just farming on Fox, Wolf, Jaguar and Sassy.

 

The easier one took about 2 hours while the harder one took about 4 hours, but the Elder Drake and Poison Myst are aggro so in some way it is also not that hard. I was surprise that all the Farming Toons had become even more over power after using Universe Accessory and Extreme Juno Rune, I think they should be able to take on any boss on their map without any issue at all. It is just like last time where I show Light Angel that I can use my low level farming toon to take on boss which is 10 times their level.

 

They also become more over power after I put summer pet on them, with just the Pet AOE they are able to farm faster on low level mobs. Manage to farm about 250 Easter Eggs of each type, guess I will be able to complete most of the weekly quest in about 10 days. I can save a lot by only using the ticket after I have collect enough Easter Eggs, most players would have use one daily.

 

I might be able to complete one trolling toon per day on the other side too as I still got enough time, but it will be better to do all in a day to keep the momentum going. It is the same for the farming toon here as it is kind of addictive when you get so many drop, and I might consider using them for most event if they decide to sell entry ticket for all event map in the future.

Guardian Of The Galaxy Vol 2:

 

Horizon:

I had try out the Mage class today, the first one is ok without much issue but the second one encounter problem at Tomb even though it is at 70%. As I only use it for trolling, so I decide to try out the Rogue instead. The Rogue still survive well even when Tomb is at 50%, I guess that is the reason why I do not like to play magic class because of their low defense.

The first Mage manage to reach Level 88 which prove that most class should be able to reach that in 2 hours, the second Mage only manage to reach Level 71 which prove that the condition of Tomb did affect a lot for some class. The Rogue only manage to reach Level 82, but I had try Ex Rogue on Pandora with better result so the condition of the Tomb doesn't really matters for those class with higher defense or evasion.

I will start working on the remaining Healer, Sorcerer and Titan when I am ready, at the moment I am trying to redo them with better name for trolling. The previous Knight class had been doing Tomb when it is 100% and 90%, so not much issue at all. But I did make a few mistake which kind of put them at a slight disadvantage.

I did not really follow the rebuff for Elizabeth at Level 60 as I am lazy to disrupt the progress in Temple of Forgetfulness. I went all the way to Level 70 to 75 to complete the full run, but the first one got stuck when it try to use skill on mobs which is near to wall and there are no other mobs nearby for the tab to work. I got to close the client and relog again which cause me to lose buff.

The second one also die at the fire pillar path before the Erebus Boss, and the same happen when I play the Mage and Rogue. I also make a serious mistake of using the first Knight to reset Tomb instead of using my main, this will also cause the lost of buff which give 200% Attack, Experience and Skill Point. The higher level buff only give 20% Attack which is clearly a major disadvantage as reference to my previous guide.

Mage and Titan are able to level fast in dungeon because of their debuff and AOE skill, but it must be careful in Tomb when there are Occultist. Actually for those hard core players, they can still continue to progress even after losing their buffs. But most Newbie prefer to take thing easy and refuse to play if they are unable to get buffs.

I had seen a lot of them just AFK waiting for buff, while I kind of use a different approach and only get buffs whenever they are available. Getting use to playing without buffs had help me develop a stronger immune against the constant dependent on buffs, and I really enjoy the lay back playing style of farming for stuffs while waiting for raid boss to spawn.

Guardian Of The Galaxy Vol 1:

 Horizon:

Anniversary Event had ended, seem like it will be back to the same old boring days till they start the Easter Event at the end of month. I was thinking of continuing farming for Pictorial Book and complete at least 1 set of my farming toon, but the recent drama cause by Peanut had prompt me to complete a few of my trolling toon first.

I could have just stop at Level 60 as it can already use World Chat and got the Level 60 to 62 +15 Set, but I decided to try a different approach to see how far it can go. The plan is to use 2 toons and chose different path to see if they end up with same result, the end result actually surprised me.

The first toon start directly with Level 30 Elder Drake until it get Event Weapon at Level 20, it then went to Prokion Temple and do Orcs until it get Level 30 to 32 +15 Set. It will do class change and learn some skills before it start leveling at Temple of Forgetfulness, it will try to clear the dungeon at one single run before it go Tomb at around Level 70 or higher.

As it did not do any skill point farming, it did not have enough skill point to max most of the skill. I just focus on passive and try my best to force my way to as high level as possible. To my surprise it manage to hit Level 88 after about 2 hours when the HP and MP Steal finally ran out, it still got a lot of boosters left over although it kill slower with much difficulty due to the lack of skills.

The second toon start with skill point farming at Level 12 Sassy, it only switch to Level 30 Elder Drake at Level 18 just to get the Event Weapon at Level 20. The rest of the journey is quite similar from Prokion Temple onwards, but to my surprise it only manage to reach Level 87 after 2 hours when the HP and MP Steal finally ran out. It also use up more boosters and progress slower even though it manage to max most of the skills and progress much easier.

I will continue to do the same for the rest of my trolling toon, it will allow me to see the different between various class which will help Newbie in their choice. I think it will be better to do it according to class but I got more toon with 4 Knight and 2 Mage class as compare to Rogue, Healer, Sorcerer and Titan which only one. But it will still be able to provide useful information even though some of the class does not have similar data to compare.

I think I will try to use the second path for remaining toon as it is easier with most skill max, the end results doesn't really matter much as long as they are able to hit Level 85 or higher. I will also be able to get some Certificate of Guardian during the progress as most of them doesn't need Merchant Profession as long as there are already one for every account to ensure most of the stuffs are able to transfer by storage and trade to other account. 

Public Enemy:

 Horizon:

Peanut had shift his attention to target other players, it kind of make him become public enemy. He did waste a lot of effort to kill low level players and destroy those Dratan Flower and Merac Fire Ore to disrupt pet leveler. But since I already level a lot of horse, it doesn't really bother me much. I still continue to play as I like and it will be very tiring for him to spend most of his time trying to stalk so many players.

Because of his bad reputation, a lot of players refuse to help or trade stuffs with him. I foresee he will encounter a lot of difficulty in time to come, some players say he also encounter a lot of difficulty in real life too because of his personality. I don't really know how true is that rumor but that got nothing to do with anybody anyway.

Recently I install a free Windows Timer App as I do not want to use the one on my phone, it kind of increase my efficiency in Raid Boss hunting. I usually use the Elizabeth Buff remaining time as a reference and Inventory Space for PVP Channel, with the new timer app I felt it is so much easier. 

Voyuer had help another player to transfer some stuffs to another one of his alternate, it is not a very common happening unless the other player trust you a lot. Then the other thought one of his item was missing as he was high, after he became sober he manage to find it and say sorry to Voyuer. But because it was too late and the matter had hurt Voyuer reputation, Peanut decided to use it as a weapon against Voyuer and call her a scammer.

Moza actually step in and help Voyuer pay back the 7B which Peanut give her, and everybody thought the drama should had ended. But some say that Peanut actually scam other players for 20B and a lot of other stuffs, if that is the way he become rich it is kind of irony too. I guess he is just trying very hard to get attention from other players as I think nobody actually really bother about him much in real life.

If all the players start ignoring him in game, he will get bored and give up eventually. That is the reason he keep switching other players to target after he failed to make some to give any focus on him, he seem to be very proud of himself when a lot of players are piss off about him. I usually just troll him whenever I see the chance and then completely ignore him after I had fulfilled my purpose, that kind of get on his nerve as a lot of time he is unable to respond because of his lack of knowledge.

Phoenix Rebirth:

 Horizon:

They had give out special anniversary pet, it is a mount that look like Phoenix to signify Rebirth. Just a normal P2 Pony with 15 Movement Speed, as it is not tradable and doesn't have any skill I give 15 of it to god as I foresee he will not be able to claim it in time. I could have use them for pick up on my farming toon but I already got a lot of Linko.

Take part in the GM in the Hut Event and found out that there are Medium and Big Reward Box, the boxes give more rewards than the Small one which we get before and the rewards are as follows:

Small Box

20 x Boosters and Medium Med

10 x MGR

1 x LI and LSP

 

Medium Box

50 x Boosters 

40 x Medium Med

5 x AGR

2 x LI and LSP

 

Big Box

100 x Boosters 

50 x Strong Med

10 x AGR

4 x LI and LSP

 

The Game Master had been very generous and give out a lot of Big Reward Box to all players, I manage to get about 5 even when I encounter serious lag twice. But I think it is the best event so far as a lot of players can get the Reward Boxes easy, new players can sell them for gold while old players can use them.
