Overkill:


 Horizon:

Manage to complete the Upgrade and Jewel for the Specialist, also manage to level a horse for Zedan. Finally decided to make all the Armor Set below Level 73 to +30, now even my Farming Toons are all Over Power. My plan seem to work well by pretending that I got limited means of leveling my horse by using the same location, then when Peanut thought I have already call it off for the day I will still be happily continue leveling my horse at another location.

And that is just my Plan A for backup, I still got about 7 or 8 more backup plans in case the first one doesn't work. Steve seem to know about one of the few methods of leveling his dragon, and I had told him about a few other options which he can use. Even Caugs manage to get another horse to Level 57 on the first day of Pet XP Event, and a lot of other players will still be able to level their pet over the 3 days of Pet XP Event. 



 


P.S.:

Manage to harvest 55K of Pet Food, still got 35K more to go. Going to start my Project Ferrari, basically is to level 18 Level 57 Horse within a year. According to my calculation it will take about 3 months to level one, but if they are having Pet XP Event monthly, it will only take about 2 months. So I might be able to complete it in about 9 months, if the progress is good.

Finally finished harvesting 80K of pet food which will be able to last me for a year, a lot of things I do according to my instinct and doesn't really know it's true purpose until much later. It is like all the pieces of puzzle fall together in place, and it had been good for me all these years. I thought it will affect my farming toon, but it turn out that Archer doesn't have high evasion like Ranger.

Knight is also a good choice too with higher defense, but I am not sure if Specialist can do the same with Earth Sea Evocation. It will be good as the pet leveler are able to do attendance for reward, and now with them at different channel they can party with farming toon to prevent experience gain. I will use one for Merchant Mode whenever  there are events, it will be a more efficient setup.

I will reveal the details after I complete the Project Ferrari, as I had told someone that I do not wish to see them bang their head against the wall and stab themselves with a knife even though I don like them. It is for their own safety reason that they do not know about the details as it will only bring them more misery after they realized that all the while they had been wasting their time and effort for nothing, it will also make them the joke of the century if they have to spend on magic ball to find out the truth. 

Seem like Tremi had been helping Peanut spread the seed of hate against, a few Light Bringer Guildie now started to hate me for no reason. What even funnier is that even Game Sage Crossy also join their side and become bias against me when he should be fair to everybody, they are the one that gang up and Cyber Bully me while they can twist the facts and play victim and say I am the one Cyber Bully them. I told Crossy to read my gaming blog carefully and see the Chat History capture in the Screen Shot, it can be clearly indicate that Peanut is the one that keep jumping on me for no reason at every chance he have.

But I don't really bother much, I just continue to play as I like and ignore them. It is just a game after all, what's the point of creating so many drama? Sometime people got bored and try to get attention, they like to think everything is all about them. They are not happy when they see other enjoy and try to make other people misery their only mission in life. I do believe in Karma, and they will suffer the consequences if they continue their way.

In Life, there are neither Rewards nor Punishments. Only Consequences. I hope they think about the consequences before they act, if they are unable to accept that then they better think twice. 

Manage to get some Endemic Demon Summon Book from Avatar, decided to try it out with my Specialist in Earth Sea Evocation. As expected it doesn't really work well like the Blood Terrian, for Endemic Demon the mob still taking damage while for the Blood Terrian the AOE hurt the pet. So I guess Temple of Forgetfulness is out of the question now, will continue to think of other ways to resolve the issue.

Finally manage to get it to work with my Level 75 Royal Knight, guess my Level 87 Specialist is too strong. As I only got one toon lock at that level I will have to make more toon with similar setup in the future is it is require, but at the present moment the setup still perfect for pet leveling. So I will try to farm Erebus Armor Set whenever I got the time, I had already setup toons of different class for that purpose long time back.

Pictorial Book:


 Horizon:

Insect Collection Event had ended, manage to get 180 Platinum Adrenaline from 90 Boxes. god is able to get 9K of SPB with 360 Boxes, which is about 4 times more than me. Even if I decided to go for the lower rewards I will not be able to beat his record, I had been playing more casually these days and taking longer breaks in between. Manage to finally complete my home improvement projects during the past few weeks and just enjoying the fruits of my labour.

 Manage to get about 147 Drake Scale so far, another 53 more to go. The remaining will be easy until I do the Thick Liquid from Poison Myst, at least there are always something to keep me occupied when there are no events. Now it become so much easier when my farming toon are able to kill Raid Boss without Ignition, I do not need switch toon which save me a lot of time and effort.

So far the drop rate for Drake Scale is also about 6 to 7 Green Orb to 1 Drake Scale, there are also Lucky Spell Book Buff from GM Buff and 200% Drop Rate Event to take into consideration. But overall it seem to be better than during Christmas Event using Christmas Tree Buff, so now it kind of put me in doubt whether Christmas Event is really a good time for farming.

 Peanut seem to have give up on harassing my pet leveler after few days, guess he had realized that it was not really worth his time and effort. So far he is the only one that hold grudge against me even though Crossy had claim there are 6 other players who are unhappy about my gaming blog, so I still think the other 6 players are most likely Peanut Alternate.


 

P.S.:

Finally complete my Specialist and my second set of Windy Toons, now just waiting for the next Upgrade and Jewel Event to get the Specialist gear set ready for Bosses. It will be good to have different choices of class to try out, but Royal Knight will still be the main as it already got Loyalty Costume. Not sure if I want to get Loyalty Costume for the Ex Ranger and Specialist as it would mean I will have another two Level 185 Jump Box which I may not be using.

Insect Collection:


 

Horizon:

Insect Collection had started, guess god and I will be focusing on the event. I usually use my Raid Boss Hunter for the event but decided to use my farming toon this time as I still haven't finish the farming, it will be more efficient and I can also get Raid Boss on two channels while I farm. Same like previous year, I will be doing the event with a more casual approach like god as they had remove the CSS from the rewards.

Notice a new player named Gelius harassing my pet leveler, the funny part is he mistook Caugs Flower to be mine and destroy it by mistake. He later return and destroy the one my pet leveler is using and stay behind for a while to observe if I response to it. He later found my pet leveler continue to level horse in Merac on other channel and decided to imitate Ains style and let the Elemental Boss to spawn and kill my pet leveler.

Voyeur ask me if Biscuit is Peanut Alternate as she is having a bad time dealing with him, I told her about Gelius and disclose my prediction of what I think is going to happen next. She seem to went silent after hearing about it, seem like she is keeping a lot of secrets and trying to find out about other people secrets through chatting with them.

I had make an analysis of the situation and simulate various scenario, I found that it will be very hard for Peanut to create any drama. All he could do is to harass my pet leveler now, and due to the time zone different I could still continue to level my horse when he sleep. Unless he and his wife do rotating shift, it will be very hard for him to disrupt my pet leveling progress.

The other activity I like is Raid Boss Hunting, and in order to disrupt that he will need at least 4 persons doing rotating shift. And the funny part is that even after using so much resources, I am still able to do most of the events while farming for Pictorial Book. So overall he will be wasting his time and effort and end up with nothing, but I still think he will be dumb enough to try and tired himself out.

If he really understand the story of the two monks, he would have put it down after crossing the river instead of still holding on to it. There is another story about letting go which talk about a monk asking the student to hold on to a cup while he pour hot water inside, when the cup become too hot and the student feel the pain he still have to let go of the cup. 


 

P.S.:

Peanut seem to left out two Fire Ore in Merac on Day 2 and both my pet leveler are able to continue leveling horse for another few hours, he later use his wife toon PewStar to destroy the Fire Ore much later and leave a smiley face in normal chat to cover up his rage. As I am already going to sleep in few hours and I was watching Drama and Variety Show with my wife, I just log off my pet lever for the day.

I foresee he will be jumping up and down when he could not find my pet leveler later, and this is part of my plan as I had already try out various different locations for pet leveling as back up. For now I will just remain as normal and see how the situation progress, I have also notice that Tremi and a few of his guildies from Trolling had been very active recently on world chat.

I think they are trying to get my attention and trying to show that Peanut had been very helpful to other players, but because I am busy farming for pictorial book and lazy to keep switching toon to entertain them I will just ignore them. I guess they will be jumping up and down like Peanut and gone crazy after a few days when they realized that their plan is not working.

Tremi had been very chatty on world chat recently, she could have done it in Light Bringer Discord instead with the AI Chat Bot as it will let her gain experience and level up to gain 35 more levels to catch up with Lord. And she had been announcing her sleep time when Peanut just woke up and say good night to her, and I had never seen any Flower or Fire Ore getting destroy on Day 3. Not sure if Peanut had finally give up or he rather focus on insect collection instead of wasting his time and effort on me. 

As expected Peanut resume back to the normal routine, I can only say everything goes according to plan. It is like writing flip it over on both side of a paper and it will keep him occupied, haven't seen any of his guildies continue to spam the chat anymore. His pride and ego will be the best tool to use, and I can only say he is the only one who is not as smart as his other guildies.

Not sure if Peanut was lazy or he started to feel the drain, I am able to continue leveling horse on other channel as expected. I did not see him appear for the rest of the day, the next day morning I found that he had found out his mistake yesterday and went on a rage. He thought he had manage to get my pet level before he sleep but I just send him a smiley on world chat, I guess he must have lose sleep when he could not find my pet leveler while they are still leveling horse at other location. 

Peanut is trying to get my attention after he harass my pet leveler, but I was in toilet during that time. He could have say he caught me with my pants down, but he doesn't really have a sense of humor. He went into a few minutes of awkward silence when I mention about Mustafa, and he got to use switching channel as an excuse. Anybody who play the game will already know it only take a few seconds to switch channel, and he immediately say good night right after that. Not sure if he did not get enough sleep and went back to catch up on it or hiding at one corner crying.

Weed had try out using Level 90 Jump Pot and then later use Level 120 Jump Pot, he got 24K of SP from the Level 90 Jump Pot and another 44K of SP from the Level 120 Jump Pot. I notice that there are different in the amount of SP for different class with Rogue getting less and Sorcerer getting more, I ask him to keep me updated when he does the same for different class so that I can collect more info.

I had completed the farming of Twig and Horn Beast Hide for the second set of farming toon, seem like the drop rate improve with 1 Twig or Horn Beats Hide with every 7 to 8 Treant Fruit or Horn Beast Eyes. The last time when I did during Christmas Event with Christmas Tree Drop Rate Buff was not that good, it was like 1 Twig or Horn Beats Hide with every 15 to 20 Treant Fruit or Horn Beast Eyes. 

Aphelion:

They are going to end the Easter Event and start the Summer Event soon, I will be spending a day to complete the quests doing my John Wick stuffs just before the Easter Event end. As I got no interest in Summer Event at all, I will just focus on other event on the official server. They had been trying to get new Game Sage recently, and Didine had approach me when she see me helping other players on world chat.

But I am worry that I would not be able to enjoy the game if there are some responsibility involve, so I still choose to be normal players as I can still continue to help other players whenever they need. I will have more freedom to do whatever I want instead of having to host events at specific timing, as I am in different time zone with the server it will be another issue I got to overcome.

Side Track:


 Horizon:

I was happily farming Treant Fruit on my Titan and the 500% XP and SP event start, so I got to side track again to complete the Veteran Quest, Vald Quest and Mond Quest for 7 of my toons. Found out that Phoenix Toon Vlad Entry Quest is glitched, the Border Guard Captain steal my heart and never give it back for me to give it to Magician. Having a hard time finding Boss too as a lot of players are doing the same, but I still mange to finish the Veteran Quest for all 7 toons in a day.

As the Arch Wizard is the only one that can enter Vlad, I decided not to lock it at Level 121. I would be leveling it to Level 130 for the Mond Entry Quest and use it for pet leveling, I just got to do some Sorcerer at Travia Valley for the next two days of the event. Guess Phoenix is really not my cup of tea after all, the benefits doesn't really balance out the disadvantages. It is good that most of my setup are very flexible and I am able to make changes to suit the situation whenever I encounter any issues.

A player name Raoh had return recently, I remember I give him a lot of pet last time. I had give him some Phoenix Ticket and a few Cool Down Accessory to help, as usual he still think his few billions gold is able to get him everything. But he soon realized that buying IC and getting Loyalty Rewards doesn't let him own the server, a player name Sassafras seem to concern about me helping him and make things too easy for him. 


 

 

 



P.S.:

Manage to level the Arch Wizard from Level 126 to Level 130 within 2 hours, manage to complete the Mond Entry before the buffs run out. I will be doing the other 5 Phoenix Toons but it will take more time as they are unable to jump 6 levels with Vlad Quest, but I just have to do as much as possible before the 500% XP Event end. The rest will have to wait for the next event, but there is no rush to complete them all.

Peanut try to pretend that a few of his Alternate are not him, but he make a mistake by saying hi to himself. He later try even harder to explain the whole situation, but don't think any of the players will be stupid enough to believe his explanation. He is just making it worst trying to cover up his previous lies with more lies, not sure what is the point of doing that.

The tale of two monks and a woman is a well-known Buddhist parable. The story goes that two monks were traveling together, a senior and a junior. They came to a river with a strong current where a young woman was waiting, unable to cross alone. She asks the monks if they would help her across the river. Without a word and in spite of the sacred vow he’d taken not to touch women, the older monk picks her up, crosses, and sets her down on the other side.

The younger monk joins them across the river and is aghast that the older monk has broken his vow but doesn’t say anything. An hour passes as they travel on. Then two hours. Then three. Finally, the now quite agitated younger monk can stand it no longer: “Why did you carry that women when we took a vow as monks not to touch women?”

The older monk replies, “I set her down hours ago by the side of the river. Why are you still carrying her?”

The story is a reminder to not dwell on the past in a way that interferes with living in the present moment. 

Manage to complete the Ex Ranger within 4 hours, was surprise that the 5% MP Steal seem to work like magic. I did not need to activate the potion until I encounter some difficulty during Mond Entry, but overall it is still a very good result as I thought I would finish all the Boosters before I manage to hit Level 130 and had to do Troll King in Ebony Mine instead to save on Boosters for next toon.

I still prefer Sorcerer at Trivia Valley due to the better SP and Drop Rate, I can also get a few Phoenix Ticket too if I am lucky. I will like to try different class to compare the result, but I think it will be better to do those which I plan to lock at higher level as I save up more Boosters on them. Think only one Ex Ranger will need to do Troll King at Ebony as it got 200 Boosters less, but I might be able to grind the remaining level without Boosters too as it just take longer time. 

The other Ex Ranger also end up with the same result, but I am not sure if I want to do the Royal Knight as I had already use up all the Buff Code. I can still go ahead and try but it will be a bit more difficult, but since I had done a lot of other toon without any buffs I think it is not really an issue. This Ex Ranger had 10% MP Steal but I still have to activate the potions after 45 mins as the MP fall below 1K, and this time I had manage to max out the skills before I do the Mond Entry Quest. 

Woke up in the morning and found out that the 500% XP Event had ended, I had see the date wrongly and thought it would be for the whole weekend. But they had to end the 500% XP Event as they are going to start the Artifact Event, the two events seem to oppose each other as both are giving good experience for leveling. 

Seem like Peanut had panic after Tremi told him what I had expose about all his alternate, and had noticed that he had been trying even harder to prove that a lot of toons are not his alternate. Guess he is not a smart person as he had always fall into the trap which others had set for him, with the new situation unfold I think I will see him exposing more and more of his hidden alternate in time to come. Actually all these mind game doesn't really bother me at all as I just play and enjoy the game and making sure other players also does the same, but I think he will find it harder to survive as it will be harder for him to get the stuffs he need and had to either seek Tremi help or make new toon.

As I had expected, Peanut had panic and overreact. Crossy mention there are 6 other players too, which I think should be Peanut Alternate. The more he overreact, the better it is for me to confirm my suspicion. He had no reason to overreact and also any need to explain the situation, he just take thing personally and try to make drama out of it. Guess I will just sit back and see the drama unfold, and he will be wasting all his effort again.

Why would someone who is so proud of what he has done few months ago be suddenly start to play victim now? Why would other 6 players even bother about it if only Peanut is being mentioned? Most players will take it as a joke and laugh about it, so there are no logical reason for their overreaction now when they could have do it few months ago.

Sarong Party Girl:


 Horizon:

Recently Hannah was not happy that nobody care or even notice that she had not log on for few days, she told me it is because of Voyeur. So I ask Voyeur what actually happen them, found out that Hannah say she like some guy and want to be in relationship with him. But she want Voyeur to help with getting her and that guy together, so Voyeur try to help and ask that guy to chat with Hannah. Then that guy told Voyeur that Hannah say it was just a joke, but she told Voyeur that she is shy.

This is not the first time this had happen, the last time was with Sly and Anaq. I don't even have to see the chat history as I had known Sly long enough to believe his side of the story, and after finding out more info from Anaq kind of confirm my suspicious. Anaq find Hannah not mature enough and keep thinking Sly favor Anaq more than her, Hannah also claim that Sly had been ignoring her and Sly told me Hannah is the one ignoring him instead.

After I told Hannah what I had found out she try to change her story and claim she was busy with work that is why she had been ignoring Sly, Sly also say it is very hard for him to maintain the relationship when  Hannah keep flirting with other people. Hannah claimed that she was just trying to be nice, but toying and hurting other people feeling already is a bad and wrong doing.

I am not sure if it was their culture as I had seen a lot of other girls behave the same, one example is that I was looking for a birthday present for my elder cousin. As we are going to have Korean BBQ Steamboat at Marina South, me and my younger cousin decided to go Marina Square Mall to get the birthday present. We decided to buy a Shark Tooth Necklace for Sean, and the sale girl insist on helping me put it on just to get close to me.

I guess they just have what we call Princess Sickness and always trying to get attention and expect other to treat them like royalty, I had been changing company every 2 to 3 years to maintain a safety distance from a few office girls since I got married. I find that sometime they are just too free and get bored and want to play with office politics, I don't really have so much time and effort to deal with them so I just ignore them.

Avatar had been very upset recently, he keep complaining about not getting Moonstone Box at 500K and refuse to farm for it himself. He kind of cross the line when he start claiming Fawkes going to ban the use of multi client, he might as well say they are going to merge the servers and do a gold reset which are much more possible to happen in near future. He was upset and say I had change when I told him off, he return the weapon he borrow from Hannah and had never see him log on for attendance ever since.

I guess both of them will not be miss by any players as they had been creating problem to the community, they rather choose misery than happiness so it is their choice that they had make. One should be just happy with what they have and just play and enjoy the game, why would they want to be jealous of what other have and bring misery to themselves?

karogue had been acting weird recently, I had already told her that nobody is willing to buy Coin of Master. But she keep wanting to do more Monsters Combo even though she doesn't have enough gold for it, she keep asking other players for help with a lot of stuffs. If she can't even survive on her own after so many players had give her a lot of stuffs to help, then this game is not suitable for her.

I was busy installing the new kitchen sink tap, and both my wife and mom doesn't believe that I am capable of doing that. I had been an engineer onboard ship fixing various type of machinery for so many years, what is a small tap going to hinder my ability? Even my cousin who is doing renovation was surprise that I am able to install the bath towel hanging rack with perfect alignment.


 P.S.:

Peanut as usual, a leopard never change its spots. Not sure why he must win the argument every time, there are too much pride and ego in him. A person who had real talent would be humble and always stay cool, calm and collected, only those who doesn't had any substance will always trying hard to prove themselves.
