Project Secret:

Horizon:

Finally manage to create 12 new toons, will be using them whenever I want to have some quiet time by myself. Only a few close trusted friends will know about them, and it will only be reveal one by one when the time is right. I had already drop a few hints at various platform about their identity and only the smart one will be able to spot them.

I will not join any other guild unless they insist and invite, I will only create a guild for XP Lock later when I need to activate them for some missions. I guess some players might start having panic attack after knowing about this, but I am just trying to prove that I am able to develop a completely different personality on different toons as it had been done before and proven to be effective.

As I am not a person who like to hide secrets, I will still reveal their true identity when the time is right. But some will be use for special purpose to replace some of my existing toons so they will still remain my best kept secrets for a very long period of time. A lot of players will notice that some of my regular toons will start to disappear completely when they are replaced with my new toon, but they will still show up once in a while to prevent any suspicion on my new toons. 

 Manage to complete the first toon smoothly, basically just need to get Guardian. The Guardian will advice you to XP Lock so that you can do SP Farm, because of that the Guardian will invite you to join the Guild for XP Lock. The Guardian will also give you Certificate of Guardian, some gold and some accessory to help, so you will be able to get your Merchant Profession as per the Guardian advice and still got enough Skill Point to max the skills and even create your own Level 6 Guild if you want to.

Had also join in for some Buffs offer by some regular Buffer, and so far no one had ever suspect anything fishy about it. This first toon had been very obvious as it had been hint many time, but still nobody really notice any different. I will be proceeding to another toon, and the remaining toons will be harder to notice as their hints are not that obvious as the first toon.

The second toon is also completed, manage to get one of the member in one of the big guild as Guardian. Think sooner or later will get invited to join the Guild, I had also create another new Discord account just for that purpose. This toon will be more passive as compare to the first one, as I had dual personality it is not really that hard to create two totally different personality.

I had also travel a lot and get to know different people from different culture, this had make me able to understand the different between the culture. And a lot of them trust me a lot and like to tell me their story, this will make a very good background for creating so many different character with different background story which will be more convincing as compare to other players who does not really have that much knowledge and experience. 

The third toon went very well, making friends with 3 famous toons. Two of them are in a small but famous while the other is in another big guild, with the ground work completed for my first three toons the remaining one will be so much easier. This toon will be very annoying with background story of being in close relationship with another famous toon on the server, as I had know this famous toon personally it will be very convincing as compare to the other 2 toons. 

The remaining toons will be very hard to spot as I will make use of the ground work of making most players get use to my regular schedule, it will allow me to simulate different toons from different countries with different time zone when I play them at odds hours. As I had travel a lot over the years, I will be able to make use of my familiar with local weather conditions too.

 

 

 Not sure if a few of my close friends seem to know what I am trying to do, but they did help a lot by informing me of various Raid Boss spawning during their regular hunting. It will make others think that I had been busy doing my usual Raid Boss Hunting spending a lot of time killing mobs, but actually I am quietly playing with my secret toon.

I had try before and found that it is only possible for me to cover two maps alone, so if I want to create a false sense of me being Everything Everywhere All At Once I will need the help of others to inform me of any Raid Boss slighting whenever they see it during their regular activities. It will not affect their gaming experience at all but it will allow me to cover up my trail when I am secretly playing with my hidden toons.

Fourth toon doesn't really goes well, the Guardain went Ninja after I choose him. And I got to transfer the Guardian Cert from other toon just to get the Merchant Profession, I even got to reset the Tomb myself just to level. This toon will have an arrogant personality, it is the same personality I had before I suffer a near death experience during army training. It will be easy as I just had to bring back my old self, and I had already plan out all the relationship between the different toons.

The first toon will be the one that ask the other toons to join, the second toon and third toon will be the same person which is the friend of first toon. The second toon will also be a couple with the fifth toon which is also the seventh toon, and then I will develop the background story further to say that the third toon is the Ex of another famous toon. The relationship between the toons will be very complicate, and I don't think there are any other players would be smart enough to figure all out.

 Complicated Relationship:

20 years old me can not afford to buy a house, 20 years old girls can marry a 40-year-old man.

When I become 40 years old, married a 20-year-old girl is also a good choice ... ...

1st Level:

I finally reached the age of 40, and found a young and beautiful 20-year-old girlfriend to meet her parents at home.

Open the door and found out that the girl mother was my first love girlfriend during university study.

2nd Level:

Her mother to see me and was shock

She did not wait for my reaction, and then pulled her daughter into the room, said to her daughter, "You can not be with him, he is your biological father ah!

3rd Level:

Daughter: I already have his flesh and blood ... ...

4th Level:

Then the girl 's 60 - year - old father came out to see the me, whispered to me: "Why are you here? I thought I send your mother and your living expenses on time every month?

5th Level:

At this time "ding-dong," my mother came to visit relatives. See the girl's father: "how are you ..."

6th Level:

My father after parking the car is also upstairs, and saw the girl' s father immediately burst into tears: "You are my long lost brother?

7th Level:

Girl mother to see my mother and call out: "mother!"

8th Level:

Girl mother saw my father and called out "father!"

You can understand until which level?

What my mother suppose to call girlfriend dad as?

Fifth toon also did not go smoothly, it manage to add the same guardian as the previous toon and the guardian also went offline. And because of that he had to go to all other channel and try to get help for the Guardian Cert, make a lot of friends along the way but still can't get the Guardian Cert. Finally manage to transfer one from my other toon before I can get the Merchant Profession for it.

Overall I would say that the server is still friendly even though a lot of players are AFK most of the time, some are really helpful while same remain hostile to players whom they doesn't know very well. But I notice a very weird situation, a lot of OG players doesn't really have a good knowledge of the game. When I ask a very simple question they could not really answer my question because most of them skip through the beginning part of the game fast, this had always been an issue as a lot of newbie are unable to get any help.

The fifth toon actually risk exposing himself by socializing with so many players, but that is just part of the plan as all the different toon must behave differently with totally different personality from each other. And I don't think there are any other players capable of doing that as most of them display the same behavior and personality, this project will be a very good social experiment.

Due to the power of suggestion I will be able to spot other players easily, while due to many other players also fell for the same trick there will be a lot of other players with familiar names which would help to cover my tracks. As I know the area of interest of most of the players, it will be easy fro me to differential them from the others. All this had been going towards my advantage, and it will just show how a lot of other players are not very smart at all. And all their empty pride and ego become nothing when they do not have the knowledge and experience to uphold it, it just make the whole situation more amusing when they had been trying very hard but still failed in the end.

I had already laid the groundwork for my witnesses protection program, but still doesn't have the need to use it. Even the one I had use as a decoy had been continuing his normal routine until now, I am not sure if I had over prepared like all the previous projects but it is always better be safe than sorry.

The sixth toon is a quick process, just get a Guardian and level. As expected the Guardian went offline, but since I don't need Merchant Profession for the remaining toons it doesn't really matter at all. Guess the remaining toons will be very fast from now onward, and I can make everything more random. These will make them hander to spot, and they will not serve any purpose.

 Manage to get the same Guardian for seventh toon, as this will be the most difficult to hide as it had to behave exactly the same as the fifth toon. Got miscount on the secret toons and found that there are 12 instead of 10, but that doesn't really matter much as it just take longer time to complete. Same as before a lot of players are unable to answer a lot of questions, what make it even worst is that none of the players are able to provide a solution as compare to last time.

There could be a lot of other reason too, but overall it still come down to the issue of them skipping through most part of the game. The 5 days ban from using chat for new players kind of make it worst, but at least they can still get help from their Guardian. Even the most active channel prove to be a challenge to get a Guardian as most of the players are AFK, but it was to my surprise that some of them choose to ignore the request even though they are actively chatting with others.

As I slept early after melding a few chaos coral to some accessory and woke up late, I decided to take a break from this project. There is not rush to complete it early as I had already complete all the toons require for my Witness Protection Program, the remaining toons will just be additional to do some social experiments. Not sure when I will start back the project, but I will act accordingly when the time is right.

Eight toon also went smoothly, actually there is enough time to do another toon but I do not want to attract too much attention. Heard players discussing about how to level fast, I guess they are really big fans of my blog.  I am glad that my blog help them learn more about the game, but I still prefer to be humble and not boost about it. This toon manage to get another Guardian from one of the big guild, found that the fastest way to get a Guardian is to see which one is moving.

Ninth toon is also a fast and smooth process, the hard part is still getting Guardian as most players are AFK during the weekdays and more active during the weekends. But it is still not mission impossible as long as I follow the previous method used by previous toon, as most of the new toons are being used for testing of new stuffs it doesn't really matter that much if they actually got a Guardian or not. But it is still good to have one as the Level 60 +15 Set are a good addition to replace the Level 30 + 15 Set, the Level 21 Event Weapon doesn't really make that much of a different when you skip through most of the game and level fast. 

Tenth toon completed, silent and deadly. Only two more to go before I complete the whole project, had been very smooth towards the end. Guess practice make perfect, and the bonus is that I am able to try out some new stuffs during the process. Only a few of the toons I already had a purpose planned for them, there are some which I am not sure about it but I am sure I will find a purpose for them in the future base on my previous experience of trusting my own instinct. 

Manage to completed the last two toons, I had always manage to do when other had least expected. The progress is very smooth with the last toon just in time for the 100% Dungeon Time Event, and with all the 12 toons completed I will be able to use them for future events. Since I already got the backup ready, I don't really have to worry about much and just focus on my Pet Leveling and Farming for now. 

Note:

This post will conclude after completion of 12 secret toons. (Post concluded with completion of 12 Secret Toons. No further update in the future.)

 

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.

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. 

Swiming with the Fishes:

 Horizon:

World Cup Event had started, but the drop rate for Festival Box is very low. They had 300% Pet EXP and 500% EXP Event during the weekend, so I just focus on leveling my Horse and leveling my Trolling Toon. Manage to get the remaining 3 to complete their Apprenticeship and get Merchant Profession, now I have try out the skills for all class except Night Shadow.

Moza Lito had become another Zed, she had been trying to buy Moon Stone Box at 1.5M while the Market Price is 3M. At least she is also selling her stuffs cheap and not trying to make profit by reselling stuff like Zed. Zed had become less active these days, not sure if he had decided to play other server.

Aphelion:

CanniBuz and Speedy seem to be having a good time, guess they are staying here for good as I seldom see them log on on Horizon much. Manage to found the other 2 Immortal Boss in Juno while looking for CanniBuz to give him some stuffs, one of it is near Hunter Drenoir which I manage to complete the Horn Beast Achievement while the other is near Border Guard Tamon which is good for leveling pet as there are no mob nearby.

There are still a lot of self entitled players who keep trying to buy stuffs at half the market price, usually most players will just ignore them and they will have to buy it at the normal market price or higher if they really need it. Guess it is the same issue on most server, and you can easily identify them by their nationality.

Took part in the Treasure Hunt Event, never really bother much until I saw the Game Sage is near to the Immortal Boss when Ankou and his Alternate claim the Token at Farmer Jack. Since I am nearby I might as well take a few step to go over and claim the 3rd position, I actually thought I would just stop there and go back to Immortal Boss as I am trying to level my last Trolling Toon on other server. But the location in Juno Map is too obvious and I just got to move my butt to participate.

The Dratan location is challenging, Ankou was not happy when I manage to reach the first location before him and his Alternate. I decided to let him claim first and second place before I go just to make him happy. The other two location I also mistook it for the one near NPC but I still manage to find it after some effort due to my exploration of the map when I am bored.

The third map is Merac, the first two location is easy but the last one kind of encounter some giltch. All of us actually reach the exact location but could not find the Game Sage after searching high and low for her. Later we found out that she got disconnected and we just wait for her to log on back. Actually I am not sure if I reach later than the other players but it doesn't really matter much as I just join for fun, end up I got 37 Token and Ankou got 75 while his Alternate got 59.

Mission Impossible:

 

Horizon:

After trying out with Beta Tester and get an idea of the perfect leveling path, I decided to make a few alternate to try out for different class. The list of alternate are as follows:

Brocco Lee (War Master) Brother of Bruised Lee

John Wig (Specialist) Highest Body Count in Movie History

Bread Pick (Royal Knight) Breakfast at Tiffany

Bruised Willy (Royal Knight) Die Hard with a Vanity

Tailor Swift (Archer) Fast Fashion Statement

Cereal Killer (Assassin) Killing you slowly with a Spoon

Mad Donna (Witch) Crazy Pop Queen

Morning Wood (Royal Knight) Hard On

Fat Man (War Master) Brother of Bat Man

Hairy Porter (Specialist) Sassy Carrier

Brag Pit (Royal Knight) Boost Hole

Dick Tracy (Royal Knight) Straight into your Pants

Catty Purry (Archer) Pussy Cat Doll

Fast N Curious (Assassin) Speedy Gonzalas

Bettle Juice (Witch) Insect Terminator

Sum Ting Wong (Royal Knight) Daze and Confuse

Their main purpose to to get Certificate of Guardianship and Troll a few players while we wait for another new patch which hopefully will improve the situation for PVE Player. It will also provide Level 1 +15 Armor for few of my Farmer Toon, and maybe Level 30 +15 Armor too.

Aphelion:

Another new player named Light Angel from Brazil asking for help with killing Newbie Hunter Boss, as I am doing some morning logistic with my toon I decided to send my Level 22 Rogue Striker Eureka to help. He was skeptical at first as his Mage is 4 level higher than my Rogue, but I had done it with Level 16 Toon with Level 5 Ignition so this toon should be able to do it with Gilese Rune and Legendary Pet.

As expected it was an easy task and I got it done within a few seconds, he couldn't believe it and ask if I could kill Level 220 Balrog too. Actually I am also not very sure about it and decided to give it a try, fair enough the fate of Balrog also end up the same as Newbie Hunter. It was easy as I just need to keep the Boss Snare and just let the Pet do all the Damage, it might not be possible when we are not allow to use pet in Juno.

Beta Test:

 Horizon:

Noticed that one of my toon got Level 30 to 33 +15 gears at Level 31 instead of +10, decided to make a new toon to try out after god told me that he get Level 1 +15 gears with some useful items. Since I had already try a few Ex Rogue, I decided to give Arch Mage a try too. Their Level 1 armor had the defense of Level 50, with the new update they will have no issue to reach Level 50.

True enough I am getting all the stuffs as god had told me, other than the Level 1 +15 gears I am also getting the followings:

5 Legendary Iris

5 Legendary Skill Pill

2 HP Steal

2 MP Steal

5 Cool Down

1000 XP Booster

1000 SP Booster

50 Recall Scroll

50 Memory Scroll

It starting to give the private server vibe with the newbie package, not sure if they send Game Sage to try out private server and copy the idea.

The SP stuffs can be use at Level 12 Sassy if got XP Lock from Level 6 Guild, or it can also be use at Prokion Temple from Level 23 to Level 35. The XP stuffs can be use at Merac Jail or Temple of Forgetfulness to level fast, or can save it for Tomb or Vald Quest if you plan for higher level.

At the moment my plan is just to get it to Level 50 to complete the Guardian System, might continue to get it further to Level 70 for pet leveling later. Although all the item are Character Bond, it is still a good way to get Certificate of Guardianship which is in demand for Merchant Profession and learning Soul Skill.

There are more update on the next coming patch, we are not sure what surprise it will give but we can only hope for the better. For now we just had to play and enjoy the game while we still can and not to worry about what the future had planed for us. I just had a bad feeling that they might decide to merge all server and finally shut it down if a lot of players just decide to remain AFK and not going to play until they fix the current issues which come with the new patch.

Aphelion:

They had increase the level require for Shiva to learn AOE from Level 1 to Level 100, it is not really an issue for old players as we can do it in about 30 mins or less. It will still be a difficult task for newbie without the gears, accessory or rune to boost pet experience and pet experience pill or pet experience booster. But at least the base status for the pet is high and doesn't die easy like the buff pet, it is still easy to level it as you kill mob to level your toon.

Strawberry Generation:

 Horizon:

They are stupid enough to start Element of Iris Event before they end the Easter Event, this had make the shortage of Inventory Space even worst. And the schedule maintenance also didn't happen, and they had decided to extend the Easter Event for another week. The Element of Iris Event also repeat the same Element we had last time, this go to show that they don't really care or put much effort on the planning of the events.

A few incident had happened during the past week, I would say it had cause a bit of drama for the almost dead server. Moza Lito had been crying for Windy Buff and doesn't seem to get any due to a lot of Buffer had been going on vacation or busy with other stuffs in their life. I also had not been active much other than doing some farming to make use of the Bunny while the event last.

She claim that Sly will PK all the Buffer if nobody buff her, and end up she got PK by Sly and blame me for it. She never understand the real reason that had led to her getting PK, it was her big mouth which offended most of the players and she push the blame to someone who doesn't even had a clue or even in anyway related to the whole incident.

It is very common that a lot of newbie start to get over their head after they had reach certain level, I remember hearing that god PK a player name Trill due to his arrogant. This is also what happen to Diesel Boy before when he thought he owned the whole server just because he became very rich by selling Iris Cash.

A lot of newbie keep asking for stuffs which they cannot afford, like +30 Weapon or Premium Stuffs from Item Mall. They keep saying they just start playing and don't have much gold, but why they still desire expensive stuffs when they could not afford it? I remember we use to make the best of what is available to us and live with +10 or +15 Weapon and using those item which drop commonly from normal mob.

We had been through a lot of hardship to achieve what we had today and all these newbie just come and demand all the best item and complain about how difficult it is for them to play without those stuffs or buffs. All these newbie will not last long and will quit easily when they encounter bottleneck and start giving up when nobody is willing to help them anymore.

Aphelion:

Never really play much since they remove the AOE Pet, been mostly helping Speedy and CanniBuz on their leveling at Four Realm Quest. Was surprise that Lady Wolf also decided to try out this server, but notice that Zekkan only play for a while and decided to go back to Horizon. The worst is that they had reduce the Experience for Floriam Cave and remove the Monster Combo to prevent players from using an alternative method for leveling, now it had become a linear path which is set by them with no freedom of choice.

Met a new player named Try Hard, he had remind me of Cleri and Blood Mage. He kept trying to level fast and would not rest until he reach maximum level, I told him to take it easy as he do not have all the stuffs he need and it will take a lot of time to get those stuffs. I try to support him in anyway I can as I don't really use much of the stuffs I had, he was very grateful for all the help I had offer.

Speedy ask me on how to get the Wedding Ring, I told him that he can try to get the Fragment from Good Moonstone or Laca Ball using Royal Aphelion Token. He found out that he could also get the Wedding Ring from Laca Ball using the Expedition Token too, but I told him it is much harder to get as it will take a lot of luck. Since he is going to play here for long, he should be able to get at least 4 per month from the Cash he get from Voting and staying online.

As he and Anaqsunamun had a lot of Alternate, it will still take about six months to a year for all their Alternate to get married. I had see a lot of familiar name pop up on the Guardian System, it is an indication of mass migration from Horizon to here. The Website also indicate an increase in number of active players over the week, I guess it is a good sign that the community is growing.

May the Force be with you:

 

 

Horizon:

Met a Newbie named Hans Solo at Burbank Farm while I am hunting for Treasure, he had manage to spawn Balrog while he was killing Jaguar. I switch to one of my Raid Boss Killer to kill it for him and give him the drops. I teach him how to use World Chat and told him to ask for help if he need, as he need to complete the quest I switch to my Royal Knight Alpha Light and make him my Apprentice. As I might be busy at other server for the Halloween Event, I told Hannah to take good care of him when I am not around.

He will update me on Discord about his progress and I will try to meet him again when he is Level 50 and help him get his Merchant Profession. He manage to join a Guild named Too High Gaming for XP Lock to SP Farm in Procyon Temple, they also told him to join Cube for Buff. He had been spamming my Discord Chat frequently to tell me about his adventure, I cannot focus on my Token Farming on other server and had to guide him on a lot of stuffs.

He told me he did Monster Combo with MC Hammer and got 115m from it, and later Hannah also give him 15% HP Steal Accessory with Coral which boost his HP to 7K. Hannah also give him 200m, and he manage to sell 600m worth of stuffs and will become a Billionaire soon. I log on during Lunch for my Attendance to check on him, I give him a Phoenix Ticket which I brought for 200m since he keep asking me about it. I also give him a Level 30 to 33 +15 Weapon and Armour Set which I kept as spare and the two Level 120 Jump Box which I had no use for it anymore.

As I had already give all my Level 37 Knightmare Mount to other players, the Level 31 Horse will which I am having now will not give good buff. I will give it to him when I find time to level it to Level 37, he should be doing fine as he will be getting a P2 pony when he reach Level 31. I told him to make Ex Rogue to try out as it will be much easier, he can just use the 120 Jump Box after he get Merchant and can make a Phoenix toon or Night Shadow after he had a toon which is Level 100 or Level 90.

He told me someone named lagger give him 12B, after finding out some details about it I think it should be Beamer. I told him not to keep taking stuffs from other players, he had to work hard to prove himself worthy. Give him a Fish and Feed him for a Day, Teach him to Fish and he will never Starve for Life. His Encounter had been very interesting indeed, I am able to learn some new stuffs from him too. I encourage him to write a blog like me to share his knowledge and experience, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in that.

Aphelion:

 

They have a new patch, it make Laca Ball run faster. Last time I will need to spend about 6 hours to clear 10K of Token, now I only need about 3 hours to clear 30K of Token. The Speed increase by about 5 times, and I can farm about 15K of Token per day using 10 different toons.  They have not start the Halloween Event yet, so I guess I will be back at Horizon to farm more Soccer Ball as the World Cup Event did not end at 20th Aug as they announced on Discord.

Pictorial Book Farming:

Horizon:

Fall Event had ended, 4th of July Event had started. Manage to farm about 50 Boosters of each type per day, drop rate seem to be better as the amount of Boosters farmed are double of what I had got from previous event. Give Beamer 1.1K of Lucky Scroll as one of his guildie need it and the price had raise from the usual 10M to 50M, it is not a hard to get item as I can get about 100 of it from Raid Boss daily. It can also be obtain from Laca Ball using Gold Token but the Jewel option is more popular although I personally prefer the Upgrade Stone option better.

Aphelion:

I had decided to focus on the new Pictorial Book, give all my 30K Pre Realease Token to Foxy as there are nothing that interest me at the Token Exchanger. The Pictorial Book is not as easy as I thought even though they had reduce the amount from 300 to about 50 to 100, as the drop rate is low but I am still able to complete within few hours and the rewards for it is at least some useful items. Fox Hide drop rate is about 1 to 3 compare to Fox Tail and Drake Scale drop rate is about 1 to 5 compare to Green Orb.

I had create three more account to redo my farming toons, the original farming toon will be level up for buff or other purpose. Level 4 Healer for Fox and Dire Wolf, Level 12 Sorcerer for Jaguar and Sasquatch, Level 22 Rogue for Drake, Harpy and Dark Goddess, Level 33 War Master for Sand Golem and Pilferer, Level 39 Royal Knight for Blood Frenzy and Poison Mist. I had actually planned for Titan to be Level 22 and Rogue to be Level 33, but due to I forgot to get Guardian before Level 20 for Titan for the Event Weapon I decided to switch their role.

I will use Level 70 Witch for Temple of Forgetfulness and Egeha farming and use it for Haste Buff and replace my Level 59 Pet Leveler. I will also create Level 168 Elementalist, Level 170 Specialist and Level 170 Cleric for Windy and Holy Bless Buff. I will level up one of each Class to Level 165 for the Gear and Jewel Set, but I will lock them at Level 140 for Gold Farming at Lilit in Floriam Cave for a while.

Aphelion Last Chaos

Speedy Gonzales:

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Castle Siege:

 

Guild Advisor:"We should take part in Castle Siege."

 

Me:"That is Mission Impossible."

 

Guild Advisor:"Well, Mission Difficult will be a Walk in the Park."

 

Me:"There are only two of us against the whole guild."

 

Guild Advisor:"This is Spartan!"

 

Double Drop Event on Saturday and Double Experience and Skill Point on Sunday, got to plan for the best toon to do drop farming. Since Guild Advisor want to participate in Castle Siege, I will have to give him my full support no matter how crazy the idea sound.

 

Since he doesn't use Discord and I haven't got the chance to meet him in game, I can only use the Guild Notice to inform him of the Events. That is what I do for the last Upgrade Event too, and due to our different time zone it is going to be the most effective way to inform him of anything upcoming.

 

Manage to get two apprentice, one of them is really new to the game and I had spend quite a lot of time to guide him in the basic of the game. The other one seem experience enough and know about XP Lock and SP Farm, so I do not have to worry much.

Another Newbie:

 
Met another Newbie named Bloodmage while farming for Boosters at Burbank Farm, I had become a Newbie Magnet. She doesn't want to join guild for Experience Lock, doesn't want to get a Guardian. She doesn't want to do Skill Point Farming, just want to Level Up fast.

I already advise her against that but she still insist on doing it, guess it will be another test for me then. I show her all the basic she need to know, even how to harvest for pet food. She didn't have enough gold to buy stuffs, so I give her 1M to buy the knife and hammer and even give her 20 Tool Aid and a Drake Egg.

She told me she turn herself into a Jaguar and don't know how to turn back, I told her just click on the blinking icon on the right will do. She log off about a few hours later and never appear again, I hope I will see her again on weekend.

Light Of The World decided to become a Spam Bot after his class change at Level 31, he is not even interested to do anything other than preaching his gospel. He told me he got about 50M and if he spend 10K spamming per day he will be able to do it for 5000 days which is about 13 years.

He is very proud to become a Royal Knight, he thought Royalty is relate to his God. I told him that King Solomon create the Templar Knight to protect the Ark, so he got the facts all wrong.

He also told me he had apply to become a Game Master, imagine him using the Announcement System to preach his gospel a lot of players will go crazy and quit. I ask the Light Bringer friends to invite him for Extreme Cube so that it will reduce his spamming to about 50 days.

Discover a few things while helping newbie, so all the effort didn't really come to waste. Light Of The World start to spend money on Item Mall buying useless Wedding Costume and Custom Title, the Costume will only last a month and the Title only last a week. At least the title will give some boost, but he just want to look presentable for his gospel preaching.

Fall Event extend for another week, I will be able to farm more Boosters to sell. If I farm 100 Boosters per day and sell them at 10M each I should be able to recover the 12B which I spend on Advance Grade Reformer during the Game Master Buff Event, but I will still have to spend another 6B for the upgrade stone to upgrade the Erebus Set.

Maybe high level is not really my cup of tea, had to spend a lot to get the gears and stuffs you need. Erebus also did not drop upgrade stone as expected, and gears are really hard to sell in Merchant Mode. Guess I will stick to low level and farm consumable stuffs which is easier to sell. After all these are what I enjoy most about the game.

Discover that Apollo Mars is able to trade some of the untradable stuffs after getting the Merchant Profession. Guess I can start selling the Power and Berserker Potion as they seem overrated to me. The remaining one should be able to get 4B or so, at least I wouldn't be broke after buying upgrade stone.

Guardian of the Galaxy:

 Manage to complete my Apprentice Training, got a Level 49+10 Weapon and Level 48+10 to Level 50+10 Armour Set. Got the Rising Star Title and Register myself as Guardian.

Pet Horse is at Level 32, 5 more level to become a Knightmare Mount. I also going to level up this toon to Level 53 before I lock its experience, it will become a Dragon Hunter in Merac.

 

 

Rainy Season:

I thought it will be a new Elements of Iris Event, but I am getting Rain Drop instead. Actually they are just Health and Mana Potion, and they are not tradable. I was wondering if I should take a break from my Grand Balrog Hunting at Server T and Dragon Hunting at Server E and focus on something else.

I might consider going back to Transformation Scroll farming, or maybe try leveling up my Templar Knight Alpha Light at Server T and do a bit of Grand Balrog Hunting at Server E. Still trying to get a good video of killing Grand Balrog but it just doesn't drop any Rare Accessory these days, not sure if they set a threshold limit for the amount of Rare Accessory you can get from Raid Boss.

 6 Billions Dollar Man:

I had Demon Slayer on both server, I had Dragon Hunter at Server E. Now I would need to create a Devil Killer, so I will need a Level 57+15 Weapon and a Level 55+15 to Level 57+15 Armour Set.

In order to create that with out any failure, I would need 6 Lucky Smelting Stone to go from +4 to +10. I will also need 4 Chaos Smelting Stone to go from +10 to +14, I will finally need a Extreme Stone to get it to +15.

Lucky Smelting Stone cost about 50 millions, Chaos Smelting Stone cost about 180 millions and Extreme Stone cost about 10 Millions. So I will need about 1 Billions per gear to make it to +15, with 6 piece of gears it will cost about 6 Billions.

 Third a Charm:

Got a third Desire of Scared Tree from Golden Treasure Chest, what are the odd of that? Yesterday night I left my computer on for Merchant Mode, when I woke up this morning I found myself 300 Millions richer. The whole inventory of useless stuffs to me manage to clear out and now I am running out of stuffs to sell.

 Lady Luck Smiling:

Got a Double Rare Accessory Drop from Grand Balrog, what are the odds of that? I don't remember getting any double drop from Raid Boss last time when I play, but that was 12 years ago. What surprise me even more is that both are very good accessory for Healer Archer and Rogue Assassin.

 Fair Price:

Usually the Exchange Rate is 200AP = 10 Millions Gold, as the NPC is selling the Gold Magnifying Glass at 1 Million each. So according to this calculation, the price should be the one in the bracket.

Extreme Stone: 5M to 10M (30M)
Lucky Smelting Stone: 50M to 70M (15M)
Heaven Stone: 5M to 10M (10M)

Item Drop Booster: 10M to 15M (2M)
Experience Point Booster: 10M to 15M (2M)
Skill Point Booster: 10M to 15M (2M)

Drake Egg: 10K to 20K (25M)
Pan Flute: 10K to 20K (25M)

Strong Medicine 25M (5M)
Medium Medicine 15M (4M)

Affinity Booster 200M (20M)
HP Steal 50M (5M to 10M)
MP Steal 50M (5M to 10M)
Super Haste Potion 7M (3M)
*Beserker Potion 75M to 100M (5M)
Cool Down Reduction Potion 20M to 300M (5M)
Blessed Iris 250M (20M)
HP Boost 5M (5M)
MP Boost 5M (5M)
*Platinum Adrenaline 500M (7M)
Resurrection Scroll 35M to 80M (5M)
Pet Experience Potion 650M (15M)
Phoenix Ticket 120M (25M)

As you can see Beserker Potion and Platinum Adrenaline are selling at a much higher price as there is high demand for it. So it will be more worth it to buy them from the Item Mall and sell it. Not sure why common item like Drake Egg and Pan Flute is selling at such a high price at the Item Mall.

 

Last Chaos Revisit 12 years later:

Never expect Level 30 Grand Balrog to spawn while I was killing Level 1 Deer and Fox. Guess it feel lonely like me and need company as the whole place is very much empty with not much active players.

 

Old Nemesis:

Was killing Level 26 Clever Desert Fox at Dratan and Level 70 Grand Devilroad Kamira spawn.

 

Level 33 Royal Knight with Level 33+10 Weapon, Level 30 to 32+10 Armour Set and a Imposing Pony Mount. 

 

Finally got a Eyes of Wise Man Rare Accessory from Grand Balrog after 5th try, it is a lower version as compare to Rage of Demon. Although it is not a Rare Accessory that I want but it is a good start. This Rare Accessory is better for Magic User like Mage. I would prefer Tears of Knight or Chain of Tiger for my Royal Knight Character, Stone of Shadow or Pierce of Wind for my Assassin Character or Crest of Rainbow for All Type of Character.

 

Assassin Mercury Venus:

Manage to level up to Level 32 and did a class change from Rogue to Assassin in just a day. It is important to use the Guardian System for additional Experience Boost at Level 10 and 30. The Level 21+15 Event Weapon and Skill Point Boost at Level 20 did help a lot at Procyon Temple. Have been killing Green Monsters which is 3 to 5 Level lower for better Skill Point Farming.
