Black Friday:

 

Legends:

Been having a lot of disconnection recently, they had move to another host to help fix the issue. They had start the Black Friday Event, mobs will drop Tokens and it can be exchange for stuffs. The most worth it will be 250 Tokens for 100 Cash, usually can farm about 200 to 250 Tokens per hour so will be about 600 to 900 Cash per day.

Start leveling a few pets, those normal pets like Bears and Jaguar seem useless with the usual stats. Those other pets seem more useful with better stats to survive mobs at higher level, got Tiger Mount, Minotaur and Foxy from Daily Quest. Also decided to try out Phoenix System and Phoenix Pet, Phoenix toon get the usual buffs and Phoenix Pet need Level 100 to evolve into mount.

The Pet XP is 20 times of official server, so what usually took 2 to 3 months to level to Level 57 will only take about 3 to 6 days, it will be much faster with 200% Pet XP Event and 500% Epic Pet Exp Pill which bring the XP gain to 200 times which make it possible to get the job done in about 7 to 14 hours.

Aphelion:

Halloween Event had ended, manage to farm about 30K of Pumpkins and Baskets. They had turn on all events permanently,  I am able to get a lot of Special Chaos Ball from Sassy at Immortal Boss. It had been helping me to get about 40K of Wonder Tokens in just 2 days, manage to get about 10 B8 Gears and enough Feathers to trade for 2 Legendary Pendants from it.

Already save up 2M of Cash and 23M of OTP, not sure if I want to spend it all when Tier reset on 29th. Been getting top rank for Boss and Mobs Kill, guess I am the only active player now on this server. Use to do daily round of going around killing bosses, but now I just do Immortal Boss all day as I am focusing on Legends Server.

Horizon:

Nothing much going on since I start playing Legends, they are having the Iris Element and Dungeon Time Events which doesn't interest me much. It had been going down hill since Game Master Cheri left, not much buffs and events to keep the server active. They still trying to boost their Item Mall sales with more Costume and Pets, even let players get the Level 185 Jump Box with $300 spend with Loyalty Rewards and even sell it on Item Mall at $100 too. 

Don't think much players will be spending unless they do more improvements like the Premium Character Plus and Max Level Phoenix Ticket, hopefully they will put the Rein Deer Pet on Item Mall again during Christmas. They are promising a lot of new contents and improvement next year, but other then raising the Level Limit and new higher level gears I don't really see much. It will be delay as usual as they keep saying that they are in working progress, but they had already skip the Mooncake and Fall Event and the Halloween Event doesn't really improve much.

Horizon:

 Been busy with Chinese New Year for the past weeks, haven't been playing much since then. The server seem death with not much activity after Peanut keep asking players to shut up and quit, doesn't really bother me much as I got better server to play. He is just digging his own grave as he will suffer more as there are less players to farm for stuffs and the economy will never recover and he will not be able to sell or buy any stuffs.

 Guess I had trigger his rage again just by making a witty remarks which is related to the question other player ask, the is nothing wrong with my comment as the question ask for the location of a Missionary Boss for the Vald Entry Quest and position is another name to replace location. I foresee he will either quit or get banned after some time and the server will be better without him around.

 As the saying goes Love is a Sensation that is caused by Temptation, when a boy put his Location into girl Destination, to ensure the Population for the next Generation, do you understand the Explanation or you need a Demonstration? Some people just doesn't have a sense of humor and decided to bring his own misery to others.

 Aphelion:

 Other than the normal routine of going around killing Boss in the morning, I pretty much spend the rest of the day AFK at Immortal Boss. I think I will start farming for B8 Gears again and complete my Level 220 Rune, or start farming for Level 200 Gears and Level 190 AOE Skill Books since they are on demand these days. Just waiting for Easter Event as it is boring on both side without any events at the moment, not sure if there will be any changes for the upcoming events.

Daily Trolling:

 

 

 

Horizon:

Daily Trolling as usual, but it got a lot of knowledge and wisdom to it. It is explained in details by the link below.

https://www.smart-jokes.org/giraffe-refrigerator-elephant.html

The last part was from one of my favorite YouTube Channel named Wah! Banana.

 One thing led to another, the art of trolling is what I had learn from Hardwarezone Eat Drank Man Woman Forum.

In order to understand the humour, you will need vast variety of knowledge and a lot of imagination.

Aphelion:

Olympus Killer need to complete his Antique Affinity for Egeha, since I had already finish making my Boss Summon video I might as well give him the Summon Scroll to help him with it. I also give him the 30 Affinity Booster which took me few months to farm as the drop rate is low, since he is asking about Gold Drop and Immortal Boss I also give him some Gold Stabilizer and Immortal Boss Speed Ptoion. I was lucky that my toons are name after Roman Mythology and not Greek, if not he might kill me.

Ex Ranger is Level 216 while Arch Wizard is Level 218, seem like Arch Wizard can level up faster due to the wider range for AOE. Usually both can reach Level 205 on first day doing 2 hours each, then they will reach Level 210 on day two. The third and fourth day start to show some different with Ex Ranger only gaining three level while Arch Wizard gaining five level. It become slower from Level 216 onward by gaining one level per day, at this rate I should be able to complete the wedding for my main and alternate by weekend.

Max Payne:

 

Horizon:

Halloween Event had end, manage to kill Halloween Boss Grimvine Jack. I am not sure why they prefer Stone over Stun, but I know they did try Snare. Stone seem to miss a lot and the Boss AOE will debuff us, so most of the time we are just relying on pots. Need a Temple Knight with 200K HP to tank while Cleric heal when the Boss hit 120K.

Phoenix:

Help Warth and Anaq kill World Boss as Anaq Stone doesn't seem to work and Warth Night Shadow always miss. They told me that nobody will be able to survive the Boss without Stun as it hit hard with 200K to 300K. I manage to level to Level 158 and the Phoenix Pet manage to level to Level 85. It is a slow and painful grind as I do not have much resource, I would be more attach to it if they make it easier to get stuffs.

Warth and Anaq had been helping me a lot with stuffs as they are more regular here, guess that is their way of repaying the kindness that I had show them when they first went to Aphelion. I am not sure if one day both they and Weed might decide to stay here for good and dump all their stuffs from Horizon and Aphelion to me.

I still hope they will play multiple servers like me as it will be able to enjoy whichever server with better event. But it is very hard to split the attention between two servers as it is much better to focus on just one server. I am still more toward Aphelion and Horizon mainly because one is easy while the other got better events, guess I will be quitting this server when I reach Level 165 and manage to level Phoenix Pet to Level 100 for Mount.

Aphelion:

New patch had remove Four Realm and make leveling easier at Mushroom Land, the Extreme Juno Rune which require 5K of Animal Heart, 1K to 2K of Paragon and Essence had become available in Affinity Shop for just 2B. The Level 165 Box had also been change to Level 185 in a move to make it easier for Newbie, a lot of players are disappointed with the new patch as they are expecting more content for high level.

As it is a good chance to make use of the new patch to level my toon, I had make a few hard decision to reorganize them which will cause a lot of issues. As I had manage to get a lot of Wedding Ring, I start to pair up a few of my Level 200 toon for the buff, so far I only manage to complete for Arch Wizard and Specialist, Royal Knight and Ex Ranger, Night Shadow and Archer.

I start leveling my main to Level 220 in two days over a duration of about 16 hours, manage to get two B8 Gear as the drop rate is bad. The Wonder Map is divided into four zone, Beach, Ice, Desert and Forest, each area had mobs to drop different gear and Giant Boss to drop wing. Beach drop Gloves, Ice drop Pants, Desert drop Boots and Forest drop Helmet and Shirt.

I decided to switch my Ex Assassin to Ex Ranger as it will be able to provide Wedding Buff to my main while it is doing Immortal Boss, I might plan to make it a PVP toon later if I manage to get the gear and accessory. I decided to change my Elemetalist to Arch Wizard as I want to had high level toon on all different account, it will be better for future expansion and if one day my wife might decide to play again.

I try the Level 200 Jump Pot on Ex Assassin as it will reset the Dual Class, I manage to level my new Arch Wizard from Level 175 to Level 200 in just ten minutes in Mushroom Land. Now my main is short of Boots and Wing and I got to farm for Ex Rogue and Arch Mage gears while I complete the Affinity. The leveling is fast at start with five levels upon completion of one daily quest, Jelly Fish at the Beach seem to be a good spot.

As the server did not have many active players, I did not encounter any Kill Steal like what Warth, Anaq and Weed had encounter before. I had always believe in doing the right thing at the right time to maximize the rewards with minimum effort.

Optimize Setting:

 

Horizon:

Create a few new Level 60 toons for pet leveling and farming at Temple of Forgetfulness, the Wizard and War Master should perform well with AOE. Not sure what to do with the Archer and the Specialist at the moment, but i am sure they will be useful in the future. After trying out pet leveling with both my Skippy and Kami Hunter, I decided to create two Ex Ranger for pet leveling. Having range attack can position them at a distance which allow more location, the level will be just nice so that it will not cause too much damage and also not make pet hungry fast.

With three Eye of Spirit, the hit rate is high enough that doesn't miss like my raid boss hunter. I can also keep it continuously working without any disruption to kill raid boss. I had also created another Kami Hunter at Level 67, at least it can farm on Sphinx while it try to spawn Kami. Although it might not be as effective as the original Kami Hunter, but at least it will be able to get drop from mobs as they are not blue.

I am considering whether to create another more effective Ex Ranger Goldie Hunter at Level 97, or just continue using my Level 87 Witch as it can also get drop from mobs as it try to spawn Goldie. The only problem with it is that it still getting damage from mob even though it is wearing +30 Armor Set, it also take long time to kill the boss due to lower attack. The situation will become worst after they remove the Elemental System, so I foresee I will still be using Balrog and Skippy Hunter more for most event.

Aphelion:

Light Angel had been trying to cheat by party with his Alternate Hello Castro 2 at Tairan Center for Daily Quest, I am not sure why he need so much token or gold for. It is same like Zed or Moza Lito on official server, what is the point of having so much stuffs and gold while a lot of players dislike you. Moza Lito recently got a few of her old account back, she had been trying to sell a lot of stuffs at cheap price. But I do not understand why she would want to keep buying a lot of stuffs which I don't think she will be using, I am doubtful about her motive until it can be proven wrong.

Game Sage Mine Lyric had been trying to do Hide and Seek like previous time but no player seem to response, I took some time off from Immortal Boss to help a bit. Not surprise that Ankou and his Alternate Absynth are the first to find us, I told Game Sage that it had been so since I join the server and he told me he will try to investigate further. I think having players who try to cheat and exploit the system had cause a lot of other players to shy away from most event, if they do not do anything to improve the situation the server will be dead in no time.

What is the point of being the richest player with the most stuffs when all other players quit and you were all alone with nothing to show, all the gold and stuffs you have would be worthless when the server is dead with no other players. I had not been very active since I hand over most of my stuffs to Speedy, I guess I am going into semi retirement after I found someone else to take over the helping of newbies.

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.

Rabbit Foot:

 Horizon:

They have a new patch, other than putting Bunny Leash in the Item Mall for 500 Fawkes Gems they also improve the rewards for Easter Egg. The change in rewards are as follows:

10K Gold to 1M Gold

100K Gold to 5M Gold

Potion of Haste to Super Haste Potion

Large Defense Potion to Lucky Dodge Potion

Large Attack Potion to Lucky Hit Rate Potion

Heaven Stone Grade 1 to Heaven Stone Grade 3

Candy to Chocolate

Item Drop, Skill Point and Experience Booster increase from 1 to 10

Large Experience Potion to Experience Box

The Power Potion, Medium Medicine and HP and MP Steal Potion seem to remain the same, not sure about Golden Magnifying Glass and Chaos Ball as I have never got any of it yet until now.

The Bunny need Level 20 to learn Level 1 Buff, Level 50 to learn Level 2 Buff, Level 100 to learn Level 3 Buff and Level 165 to learn Level 4 Buff. According to herowe it increase the drop rate by about 4 times. There seem to be a mixed reaction towards the Bunny Pet, some think it is not worth it as it only use once a year but some think it is still worth it as the rewards for the Easter Egg had improved.

Aphelion:

Manage to level another 30 Horse to Level 130, it is easy while doing Immortal Boss in Juno. Last time I am worry about its starvation which will affect the leveling, but seem like it doesn't really get hungry that fast. Pet business seem to be bad since they introduce the Pet Package in Item Mall, I had switch to another better business by selling Skill Book.

The Offline Merchant Mode also prove to be very useful, I am using alternate character which I use for Immortal Boss in Dratan instead of my usual Main. I am able to leave it for long period of time and do my usual stuffs, only check on it once in a while or if it get disconnect when server crash. It really save me a lot of time when I do not have to keep setting up shop every night when I go to sleep, and other players will always know where to buy the stuffs they need after seeing the same shop selling the same stuff after some period of time.

P.S.: Chaos Ball seem to remain the same, but Golden Magnifying Glass had been change to Advance Grade Reformer.

Glitch in The Matrix:

Horizon:

Seem like the new map texture is overlay over the old map texture, I was able to see some structure wall under the Drake Nest when my game client start giving problem. Last time we also use to drop below the floor of Merac Jail when we enter, but I am not sure if we would travel back in time if we drop from new map to old map.

They had extended the Anniversary Event for another week, more cake farming for all players. I was surprised that a lot of players didn't know that we are able to save the location of Lust Trum Level 8 on Memory Scroll, I also discover it by chance when I was exploring with my Specialist Fire Wind before the migration.

Now most of the players just follow a linear path in game and keep repeating the same stuff over and over again, they lack the curiosity to explore and discover new stuffs. It is not like the old days where one player bring up a doubt in the forum and the remaining of the players communities will start to try out different type of game play and then provide the communities with vast amount of details information which will benefit all.

Aphelion:

Everything seem to go on as usual, notice a new Training Game Sage named Mine Lyric just join the team. I manage to met him at Four Realms when he accept the Boss Recall when I spawn the Realm Champion, a lot of players, Game Sage and Game Master had done so over the weeks.

He start telling me that I am not allow to use pet to kill mob, I start to raise doubt about it. I explain to him that I am not doing it AFK, I still have to open Easter Egg to prevent my inventory from getting full. I also have to activate my buffs every few minutes, I even have to response to Boss Spawn every once in a while.

Last time we have to answer math question, and most Game Sage and Game Master will initiate a Chat, a Party Request or a Trade Request to see if the player is AFK. The Game is design this way with Pet AI and Boss Spawn, so if it is not allow they should have completely remove it long time back. This show that he does not really understand the game design at all, so I ask him to consult other Game Sage or Game Master before jumping into conclusion.

He seem like he is unable to reason with me, so he decided to spawn a lot of Realm Champion on me. It is not really an issue for me as the Stun is able to be remove by Curse Removal Scroll and I got a lot of it. It will really be an issue for most players if it was Decendor of the Devil or Poseidon as they got Stone which cannot be remove by Curse Removal Scroll.

After watching me manage to kill all the Boss he spawn, he decided to leave me alone.  There are also Care Package at Juno and Merac so I just teleport back to town to get it, a player named Last game also need help locating the Orge Supervisor in Four Realms so I check my note and give him the Co Ordinate.

I kind of lose the mood for farming and decided to switch toon for Immortal Boss, not sure what is the final outcome of his discussion with other Game Sage and Game Master. But I hope they would be fair enough to accept my explanation about the game design and the function of the game mechanics, it is the only thing that make this game unique and enjoyable as compare to other game.
 

Happy Valentine:

 Horizon:

Valentine Event had started, mob drop Small, Medium and Large Chocolate. They had improve the rewards for the event, we are getting Lucky Scroll, Moonstone Box, Power and Berserk Potion instead of Large and Small Attack and Defense Potion. The remaining rewards of Exp and Effort Scroll remain the same and randomly get Extreme Stone once in a while.

It take 9 Large Chocolate to get 80 points, and the process of wrapping it and putting them into box is a tedious process. Hopefully they will make a Laca Ball for left over Chocolate after the event, and most likely the rewards will be much better than the actual event. I will turn in all the Large Chocolate and keep the Small and medium one for Laca Ball just in case.

Aphelion:

Give Cringee two Gift of Universe Accessory which I got recently from Immortal Boss, I told him it was because Sushi had give me 100 Booster. Manage to get three Accessory for all my 7 Different Class Toons, only left Rune and Jewel for the Night Shadow and War Master to complete the setup.

They had introduce a new Offline Merchant Mode, we are able to sell stuffs without the game client running. It came at a perfect timing, I can sell a lot of my stuffs without keeping the PC on during the Chinese New year period. It also allow us to gain Cash, Online Time Point and Token, I have been doing Immortal Boss for the past two weeks due to busy preparing for the Chinese New Year.
