Project Phoenix 6.0:

 






Horizon:

Finally complete the SP Farming for all the Phoenix Toon after more than 60 hours of killing Sassy, I guess I will not be doing any more SP Farming for a very long period of time. There are still much to be done as there are 22 toons need to complete the Back Pack Quest and 7 toons need to do the Vlad and Mond Entry Quest, I will be doing the Vlad and Mond Entry Quest for the 7 toons whenever there are 500% Exp Event to save on the resources.

One of the horse also reach Level 56 and would be able to mount in a day or two, also manage to sell 9B worth of stuffs during the event with the major one been Level 120 Jump Box at 7.5B and 1.3K of Holy Water at 1M each. A lot of players were wondering where did I go as I suddenly disappear completely from World Chat for about 2 weeks, there is nothing much I can do about it as I am mostly SP Farming at Level 12.

I did try to troll once in a while with my new Phoenix Toons when they reach Level 50 but most players doesn't really recognize them, I will still switch to the AFK toon in town once in a while when I see interesting topic been discuss. Did farm a lot of stuffs from Treasure Chest and God Hands during these period, most likely I will be continuing with my Farming Toon and complete the Pictorial Book stuff.


 P.S.:

Spend a day trying out all the Phoenix Raid Boss Hunters, make some fine tuning to ensure that the MP Steal are sufficient to spam the skill. Was surprised that I was able to complete all of them in just a day, and since they start the Drop Rate Event it will be a good time to go back to my Farming Toon. I was able to complete all the Weapon upgrade for both Raid Boss Hunter and Farming Toon, and now they are OP and really fun to play with.

Now even the Farming Toon are able to kill Raid Boss without any Ignition, so that will save me the trouble of switching toon. Another horse are ready to mount, this is the Level 36 Phoenix Horse which Gonad wanted to trade for Level 37 but I give him a Level 57 instead, seem like some players think that horse buffs are overrated and not worth 7B. Some are only willing to offer 5B or less as they did not even try to level one themselve, if not they will realized that it will take a few months to level one.

A lot of players also trying hard to sell their Loyalty Costume and Pet for long time but doesn't seem to be successful, guess there are too many players getting it and not much players are really interested to spend 30B for the Costume or 3B for the Pet. Imagine the price are 50B for the Costume and 5B for the Pet just a few months back. There are increase demand for Exp stuffs as expected and still a lot of players are unable to get them, the demand for Gold Booster and Affinity Seed also seem to increase which raise their price by double the usual.

Manage to sell 1.3K of Gold Booster at 1M each and also 600 Lucky Scroll at 5M each, get about 4B or more in just a day. A lot of players are having problem getting stuffs like Phoenix Ticket and Certificate of Guardian as I had brought most of them for my Project Phoenix, there are also not much Accessory with Skill Cool Down and MP Steal as you can guess who had already brought most of them.

Brought two new Wireless Router as the old one is already 9 years and keep getting disconnected when the weather is hot in the afternoon, the new one had longer range and higher speed. Did a fast setup and test the performance this afternoon, found that the IP Address change again after I finish setup the new router. 

 Was helping Weed with his new toon, giving him all the stuffs he need. Was busy with clearing 100K of Token on Aphelion Server too, been hitting jackpot with Gambling Magic Lamp from Juno Boss. Was joking around with god about the new loyalty pet, then I went to setup my new projection clock at 4 different rooms. Never notice that Peanut try to correct the species of loyalty pet, but seem like nobody actually bother about him too. He seem to like talking to wall a lot, guess he must have been talking to himself or his imaginary friend a lot in real life too.

 Recently saw a lot of players harassing pet leveler, Cheeky was one of them which could be Ains or Peanut Alternate. Cheeky behave more like Ains as he prefer to let Elemental Boss kill other players first, another one that behave like Peanut is Explicit which god call him Biscuit. Peanut Discord Name is also Biscuit in German or Dutch, so he just expose more of his toon which he secretly join other guild to spy. It is also bad for him to expose more of his toon as a lot of players will stop helping him and it will be hard for him to get the stuffs he need.

Project Phoenix 5.0:

 






Horizon:

Got distracted by Gold Booster Drop Event when I was halfway through, manage to farm 1.3K of Gold Booster and get another 1M Sin Killer Affinity. Manage to farm some Dark Orb to replenish those which I had use up during the Advert Laca Last Christmas, I was surprised that they did not Nerf the drop rate for Gold Booster and I did not see much players farming it. Either they had caught and banned most botters or most players think it is not worth the effort, but either way I still enjoy the event.

Was rushing to complete the SP Farming for one toon the next day so that I can complete the Jewel and Upgrade for the Level 120 Set fro the Jump Box, manage to complete 3 other toons with 2 Level 120 Set and 1 Level 185 Set. There are 3 more toons which need to wait for the next Loyalty Tier before they get the Level 185 Jump Box, but only one need to be Jewel and Upgrade as the other 2 are using for Buff.

Project Phoenix 4.0:

 






Horizon:

A lot of SP Farming, kind of boring without event. Met all kind of players while SP Farming, some of them are kind of aggressive. One Titan named Cyric rather destroy the Stone with Hidden Treasure without the Treasure Map than to let me get the Treasure Chest just because he doesn't want me at Hunter Drenior spot, not sure what is the rationale behind his logic but I don't think he will go far in life. Some players try to chase me away by kill stealing my mobs and disrupt my SP Farming, but since I am already there first I choose to ignore them and continue SP Farming at a slower rate.

Most of them will realized that it is not efficient when we are disrupting each other and will give up and left after a while, and since I am not really rushing to complete my Project Phoenix I don't really bother about their harassment. Some will be like me and go to another spot when we see someone is already there, although the other spot are not that good but it still ok without much issues. Been seeing a few players riding around in mount, not sure if they are looking for treasure or raid boss.

Overall both treasure and raid boss give good rewards, and it is an additional bonus when we do SP Farming. I notice that the amount of treasure and drop rate seem to be related to the number of players on that channel, usually I get more treasure and better drop rate on Channel 2 and 3 where a lot of players log their alternate and AFK for attendance. But some treasure location are really unable to access, not sure why they make it that way.

Most of those toon which are going to be Level 120 or higher I will be using Jump Box directly after turning Phoenix, it will help to save time and also Experience Stuffs for later use. I could have get them to Level 50 to complete the Guardian System and get the Certificate of Guardianship, but I find that I can always use another new toon to farm for that as I had proven it in Guardian of the Galaxy. Usually they will require two Certificate of Guardianship, one for Merchant Profession and one for learning Soul Skill for their class.

Horse mange to reach Level 55 and 41, guess those harassing pet leveler are just wasting their time. They are not going to get horse cheap and they can't level their own, so it will be just another vicious cycle of jealousy and resentment. Manage to sell 11K of XPB at 2m each and make 22B yesterday, manage to sell Max Level Phoenix Ticket at 5B each and some Lucky Spell Book at 200M each and make 7B today. I still got more than 600B worth of stuffs for sales and I will just spend it all on buying useless stuffs to help with the economy.

So far I had brought more than 20 Character Expansion Card even though I might not need them, also 20 Pet Name Tag which I don't think I will ever use. But some stuffs I will be using on the future like 30K of Heaven Stone Grade 5, 65 x Level 14 Chaos Coral, 4.5K of Iludeteirun Summon Book, a good example is the 45 x Phoenix Ticket which I had use 32 of them on my new toons. The Upgrade Stone and Jewels are waiting for the events before I complete the gears set for those toon above Level 120, and I only need to do 6 but I had prepared for 10.

And since I got so many Heaven Stone Grade 5, I could just make all the gears set to +30 for all my lower level toons too. I had seen some players making Level 1 +30 sets just for fun, but I usually just make those Level 29 or higher so that I can change to other class if I need. But since I already got some good gears set for some of the toon which I am using more often, I could just transfer them to other toons when I need them. I still got one full spare set of +30 Weapon from Level 29 to Level 149 which can to switch to any class, I think I should be ok for a very long period of time.

Since I had complete my collection of +30 Weapon and Armor for most of my toons, I don't think I got much stuffs to spend on. I had been keeping most of my stuffs and took a long break of about 1.5 years from Merchant Mode since the economy turn bad, but I had recently resume back to selling some stuffs as I had seen a lot of players need them. I think most of the OG players should have 10x or 100x more than me but I am not sure if they are doing the same or just continue to keep it till the economy become better, so far from the look of thing now I would say about 50% are doing so.

Project Phoenix 3.0 and Project Zodiac 5.0:

 



 



Horizon:

Brought a few new ergonomic chair, it is so comfortable that I keep dosing off. Been doing the same for the remaining accounts, so the remaining 3 accounts will be much slower as there are about 6 to 7 toons to complete as compare to 4 to 5 toons for the previous 3 accounts. As I am getting bored, so I decided to continue with the Project Zodiac and finish it since it is much faster without the need to SP Farm.

Able to reach Level 103 for Wizard and Level 94 for Witch, from the result we can see that Regular Mage does have an advantage as compare to Arch Mage. The main reason is because they get AOE at Level 15, and the Flame Volt for Arch Mage doesn't really perform as well as Flame Storm. For Witch it is not that much different but for Wizard the different is a lot, I am not sure why most players say Arch Mage is better than Regular Mage in term of skills.

There are also certain claim that Arch Wizard is better than Regular Wizard, while Regular Witch is better than Arch Witch. But from my personal encounter, I still feel that both Regular Witch and Wizard are better than Arch Witch and Wizard. Where on the other hand, I am able to get Ranger to Level 102. From the result, we can see that Ex Rogue are indeed stronger than Regular Rogue.

Project Phoenix 2.0:

 



 


Horizon:

Phrase 2 of Project Phoenix seem smoother, mainly due to past experience. Able to SP farm faster with Level 10 Skills max out, able to kill Balrog with low level toon which is 18 levels different. I forgot to use Level 120 Jump Box on Arch Wizard as I will need a toon which is Level 100 or higher in order to make other toon Phoenix, so I just switch toon to complete the Arch Wizard first before I continue SP farm on my Raid Boss Hunter.

Not sure if there are glitches, the SP I get from both Level 120 and Level 185 Jump Box seem to be lesser than before, I remember I did farm about 16K to 19K of SP before I use the Jump Box but I end up with only 51K of SP instead of 65K to 68K SP as expected as I remember I use to get same 51K SP on my Windy Toon when it had about 2K of SP. So I thought both Level 120 and Level 185 Jump Box should give about 49K of SP which according to calculation are able to max all skills at Level 120, but using both Jump Box seem to reset all with even Dual Class also affected.

I decided to try the Arch Wizard without SP farm and found that I am getting only about 38K SP after using it, so the amount of SP doesn't really enough to max all skills at Level 120 but it still able to max most of the passive and buffs. From the look of it using Level 90, Level 120 and Level 185 Jump Box in series doesn't really stack the SP at all as it will reset everything, so it will be wise just to use whichever level Jump Box just once to save the trouble.

Not sure if  the Level 185 Jump Box did stack with the SP from farming, I will have to try it out when I complete the final tier of the Loyalty Rewards and test it on my second set of Windy Toon to confirm. If the result turn out to be about 49K to 51K then I can be sure that Level 185 Jump Box actually give more SP than Level 120 Jump Box instead of the same. But anyway both the Level 185 Ex Ranger and Level 120 Arch Wizard will be ready after I upgrade their gears to +30 and jewel them.

The Level 120 Arch Wizard may be replacing my Night Shadow as I feel it is very troublesome to drain soul for the skills, I had also considering keeping one of the Royal Knight at Level 120 instead of leveling it to Level 137 in case I don't like using Arch Wizard too because of it's lower defense. But overall the whole setup are very flexible and I can make adjustment to suit my need anytime I want, that is why I had created all these Phoenix Raid Boss Hunters to replace my existing Raid Boss Hunter if I need to level them to higher level for other purpose in the future.

As they start the Pet Exp Event, I took a 3 days break from Project Phoenix to level some pets. Manage to get all 4 bunny on my Raid Boss Hunter to Level 50, the Snow Kitty on my Pet Leveler also manage to reach Level 45. I am still not sure if I want to waste 467 Pet CD to bring the Snow Kitty to Level 165 and Evolve it to Snow Leopard, as I only put it on my Pet Leveler to reduce the Rein Deer CD from 2 hours to 1 hour. Unless they are able to do pet transfer again, it may not be worth the effort.


 


 P.S.:

Peanut is trying to pretend again, who else always want to win other than him? Kind of funny to see him trying so hard, it is kind of tiring too. Don't really see the point of doing that, I guess pretending is just his nature. It is kind of funny too, he doesn't realized that he is making a joke out of himself. I am just trying to defend god and he is just trying to target me, and in the process he fail to win the debate and even risk offending god too.

And even more funny is that he still trying hard to pretend after 2 hours, while I already see him log on 2 hours ago at Store Keeper Bianca. As I had receive a call from one of the shop owner to help fix some computer issues, I guess I will have to let him talk to the wall again since that is one of the dumb thing he like to do. I also make use of the trip to get some stuffs for my aquarium too, so by the time I am back will be dinner time.

Project Phoenix:


 



Horizon:

Start to SP farm and level the 4 Phoenix Toon from my first account, since it been a long time I last did a Phoenix it will have a lot of mistakes. The first toon I thought it will be done after I got it to Level 35 but later I realize I already got another Level 33 toon for that purpose, so I later continue to level it to Level 53. I had a tough decision on whether to lock it at Level 29 or 30 so that I can use it for Halloween and Anniversary Event, but since I want all to be Phoenix I rather sacrifice getting Iris Element and Treasure Map so that it can do class change and learn more skills.

I was thinking that I would be able to complete all toon in a day or two since it is just 2 to 3 hours of SP Farm and an hour or two of leveling, but I was wrong when I saw the Stupid Phoenix Quest again. I had to kill blue mobs which doesn't drop, and get a lot of character bound stuffs which I can't trash. Each section of Phoenix can easily took few hours and it get more challenging at the level go higher. I finally decided to give up when I lost my way in Lust Trum, I think the previous Phoenix Toon I give up at the Dying Quest which I did not know I got to let the timer ran out and teleport back to town before I use the Resurrection Scroll 3.

I still feel that Phoenix System is a conspiracy to make players addicted with premium items and make them want to spend more money on Item Mall stuffs, as most of the quest rewards are premium. Guess I would not be doing Phoenix Quest for toon in other account unless I am bored, this will kind of speed up the Project Phoenix faster since my main purpose is just to get the buff and the extra stat points. I will update more on the progress as I finish each account, and there are some with more toons to level which will take longer.

At least I do not have to lock a few of my higher level toon at lower level now as I manage to create 4 Raid Boss Hunters on all account, this will also make it easier for me to switch toon whenever any Raid Boss is spawn without the need to log out and log in to another account. Since I play with my Raid Boss Hunters more together with my Farming Toons, it will only be logical that I have a few sets of Raid Boss Hunters like what I did for my Farming Toons. 

 P.S.:

Peanut had been sour these days, I guess he is jealous of Beamer, Zed and Avatar for getting so many stuffs for free from me. He make a sarcastic remark about me advertising about my shop by offer stuffs at the price of just 1 gold, but with his Pea Brain he will never understand that it is the way to not mess up my shop setup and still be able to transfer stuffs to others. He had not been able to get any boosters when I put them for sales at 1M each and he had been loitering around my shop sucking his thumb watching others getting good deals.

I had make 60B on Day 1 since I setup my shop after long period of retirement due to bad economy, I just decided to start back merchant mode just to be sure other players are able to get the stuffs they need due to a lot of good events recently. The demand for XP stuffs had increase as what I had expected, and the Artifact Event had also boost the price of Gold Booster from 1M to 2M. There are a lot of stuffs which he had desire but was unable to get, he keep using all his alternate to test water hoping that I would pity him and sell him some at cheap price.

I continue to generate a steady income of about 5B to 10B daily, manage to buy most of the Heaven Stone Grade 5 when other players are selling them at 3M. Now I got almost 30K of them and start to buy other stuffs as no more players are selling them, even after buying a lot of useless stuffs I still got a lot of excess gold which got no means to spend. I guess flexing my wealth had cause a lot of stress on Peanut as I had completely destroy his pride and make him realized that he don't own the server, he must have regret offending a lot of players when he go around killing others and harass pet leveler.

Raider of the Lost Ark:









Horizon:

Manage to find 6 Character Expansion cheap, decided to start another new project of making Raid Boss Hunters on all my 6 Accounts. Including some High Level Buff Toon, Pet Leveler and Farming Toon, it will require me to setup a total of 32 more toon.

The Buff Toon are already setup long time back and I will set them up after I get the Level 185 Jump Box from Loyalty Rewards, there is also another 185 Jump Box which is stuck on my main account due to not knowing that it is untradable.

I basically going to try out 3 different class of Royal Knight, Ex Ranger and Specialist with repeated set on 6 accounts. This is also to increase the guild members on Demon Slayer and Dragon Hunter Guild as I plan to use the extra SP from my Raid Boss Hunters to level the guilds to Level 50.

I also able to distribute all my Accessories to various toons to help clear up my storage and inventory space. It seems like a lot of things which I do out of my basic instinct seem to become clear as time pass by to reveal that all of them actually serve their purpose.

The difficult part is not the setup and distribution of stuffs, it is trying to think of a good name for all the characters. Not sure why Fawkes did not reset the names after 3 months period which does not allow me to reuse the same name of the characters which I had deleted before.

I guess that is part of their plan for Codeless Migration, and I got no choice but to delete all my old toon from previous expansion after they introduce a new patch which give a lot of good stuffs to Newbie to help with their leveling.

The only toons which I didn't touch and choose to remain are those which already have 16th Birthday Title, complete Affinity or already have a lot of SP after years of farming. They also have all the names which I like and it will be easier for my old friend to recognize me immediately if they come back.

Of course almost all of them are going to be Phoenix if possible and I can use up the Phoenix Tickets which I had found cheap recently and also use a few Level 120 Jump Box on a few high level toons. It will be another proof of my quality as an efficiency expert, with good time management for every project and making the best use of whatever resources available.

Aphelion:

Had been spending a lot of time organizing my stuffs, it kind of been a needed to do after I ran out of storage and inventory space on my main account. Been spending the whole morning for the past two days just sorting out stuffs and transferring them to other accounts, only manage to do my daily routine in the afternoon.

Finally mange to get all the stuffs organized, use up all the Chaos Ball, Moonstone and Token, transfer them to Merchant Toons. Manage to sell a lot of stuffs which I have not been using and make a few trillions over the process, a lot of players are glad that they manage to find the stuffs which they have been looking for months as the whole server seem dead with not much active players.

They are surprised that the amount of stuffs I had can support two major guild if they decide to migrate from official server to here. A lot of players try to add me on Discord after they saw my post about a bug that cause the items to remain in storage after withdrawing out. Not sure if any players make use of the glitches to exploit and dupe stuffs but I did notice a slight server roll back after I had reported about the issues.

Easter Event:


 

 Aphelion:

Finally decided to go Easter Event Map, kill a few Easter Bunny Boss. Manage to farm about 1.2K of Easter Eggs and manage to complete the daily quests twice. The Experience, Battle Pass Point and Gold are higher, manage to gain about 19% Experience, complete Battle Pass twice and farm about 100B Gold. The hard part was to kill 20K of Easter Rabbit and Chicken, the body count is so much higher than the John Wick Movie.

As I am able to complete the Battle Pass, I decided to get Premium for it so that I get get more rewards. After considering for a while I think the $200 Easter Package seem to be the best option with 10 Premium Battle Pass. Try out the Legendary Weapon on a few Boss, didn't really notice much different as the B8 Weapon with 2 more seals seem to make up for the lower attack. The only advantage is that it could be reform for better seal, not really worth the effort in my opinion. 

 



 

P.S.:

Realized that I got a lot of 2B Gold Card from Chaos Ball, decided to trade it for the Caraxas Mount from Trillionaire Club. It need 10K of Gold Card which cost about 20T, guess it is just a way to show off how rich I am. The other pet named Legendary Incubus is cheaper at 1k Gold card which is only 10% of the price, it got better stats and did not glitch like Caraxas which is similar to Buffalo. Most players would go for the title instead which is 12.5K to 25K Gold Card, the more expensive one are with better stats.

 Realized that I got too many Chenille Fabric and decided to trade them for costume and weapon cover, got the White Western Costume for both at 100K Premium Chenille Fabric. For Ex Ranger I choose White Gun Weapon Cover to match the White Western Costume for 25K Chenille Fabric while Blood Sword for Royal Knight at the same price. 

Manage to save up 1M Cash and 10M OTP over the months, and with the $200 Easter Package I manage to hit 3M Cash and 17M OTP. Not sure what to spend it on as I had already spend 5M OTP from another account to purchase 100 Guild Light. Usually can get 3K Cash from voting daily, that will be about 90K Cash per month, by staying online will get another 100K to 200K Cash.

I usually just spend about 100K per month just to get the Tier Spender Rewards and then save the remaining 200K for about 5 months for it to reach 1M before I complete the Tier Spender. But since they had increase the limit for Tier Spender, it will need additional Cash of 500K to complete the final tier.

 

Horizon:

They had make it possible for Night Shadow to be able to become Phoenix, I foresee the Level 190 Phoenix Ticket will be in demand. They had limited 5 Account log on with new patch, not sure how they going to manage it as a lot of players are still in doubt. With the new limitation I guess not many players are going to get buff as those with buff toon will find difficulty to comply with the new rules.

A new player named Star Light indicate that she is having problem leveling and ask fro help to power level her from Level 70 to Level 80. I was wondering why it is so hard to level when I had already done a few toon to Level 90 to 109 in just 2 hours when I was doing Project Zodiac. Even when I am doing Guardian of the Galaxy, most toon are still able to reach Level 85 or higher without any issue. 

P.S.:

A new player name karogue need help with potions, I close my merchant mode to give some quick potions. Guess it will be enough to last for few years, not sure why nobody bother to help.

Later she need help with joining guild for XP lock, but can't really understand her well. End up I finally figure out that she need me to join her guild and make me advisor so that her other toon can join guild.

Over Power:



 


Horizon:

Manage to upgrade and jewel my Night Shadow Level 120 Set, also manage to jewel most of my popular toon which I use often. They are mainly my four Raid Boss Hunter, two Pet Leveler and my Main which I use to kill Boss, each of them have about 60K to 80K HP while my main have 125K HP. With 100% Cool Down on Accessory and Gear and about 10% to 20% HP and MP Steal on Accessory, they can spam skills without much issue with Quick Potion as backup.

I started off to try out my Raid Boss Hunter first, most seem ok with only the Merac Toon have some issue with MP Steal at 5%. I make a few adjustment to make MP Steal to 10% to resolve the issue, the rest of the Raid Boss Hunter seem ok after some testing. I will be using them for most events as they can farm more stuffs at lower level. And since they are over power now, I can use them to kill higher level Raid Boss like last time.

I then try out both my Pet Leveler, they are able to perform even better after the upgrade and I am considering if I should lock the Witch at Level 137 for farming gear as planned. The Level 164 Ex Ranger also will not be lock at that level for long, as I already have a Level 185 Jump Box ready for it. I might consider replacing it with the Level 137 Witch or Level 150 Cleric later, since the other two have the Rein Deer Pet with 2 hours Cool Down too. It will not be advisable to create a few more new toon for that same purpose.

I think I will delay the plan to level other toon and try to lock them at lower level for Raid Boss Hunting while farming for SP and completing Affinity, like the Level 67 toon will be lock at Level 30 first. The Level 137 toon will also be lock at Level 40 first for Halloween and Anniversary Event, while the Level 164 toon will be lock at Level 53. I am planning to make all of them Phoenix to see if there are any noticeable advantage since they got extra 25 slot of inventory space now.

I also did save up some Additional Bag Keys to be safe as most of the Phoenix Quest stuffs are character bound and non tradable, some can't even be store or trash too. As they are in the same account as my Windy Buff Toon, I already had plan to create another set of buff toon to resolve this issue. That is the main reason I am transferring my stuffs from my buff toons to the Project Zodiac toon for Merchant Mode, as I will be using them more often in near future.

I had also transfer the skill books and Pictorial Book Stuffs to the second and third set of farming toons as the existing one are on same account as my two Pet Leveler, I had already foresee this issue long time back and start to plan for the second and third set of farming toons. I think other than my trolling toon which will be use for testing in the future, all my other toons actually have their specific purpose on different aspect.
