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.

Insect Collection:

 Horizon:

Insect Collection Event had start, but this time they change the rewards. As they remove the Chaos Smelting Stone, both me and god doesn't think it is worth our time. The rewards are as follows:

1-25 Super Haste x 2 (12M)

26-40 Medium Med x 10 (150M)

41-55 Strong Med x 10 (250M)

56-70 SPB x 25 (250M)

71-85 IDB x 10 (150M)

86-100 XPB x 10 (150M)

101-115 HP Steal (200M)

116-120 MP Steal (200M)

121-125 Plat Adrenaline x 2 (800M)

126-130 Red Pouch x 10 (500M)

131-159 Curse Removal x 10 (500M)

160 JPS x 3 (1.2B)

From the above breakdown of the rewards, seem like Strong Med, SPB, Plat Adrenaline and JPS are better. But it is very hard to get 160 points, so I guess more players will just go for Strong Med while I would go for Plat Adrenaline.

All Road Lead To Rome:

 

Horizon:

Insect Collection Event had come to and end, they will be starting the Element of Iris. Foxy had been pestering me to stay at Aphelion, but I told him I can only do it after the Insect Collection Event end. Manage to get 333 Chaos Smelting Stone, never expect god to be so close with 3 more than me. I had been facing connection issue due to IP Block, had been using VPN to connect for the past one week.

Aphelion:

If there are no interesting event like Insect Collection, Fall, Mooncake or Anniversary, I would be more keen on playing at Aphelion as the rewards are better. They are going to start a Summer Event soon, I hope it will be as good as the Easter Event. The Level Cap for P1 Pet had increase from 80 to 130, been trying to level pet for the past 2 days. Foxy manage to max 4 pets in just a day, Krystael show me the Wing and Rune which increase Pet XP.

Never expect the Rune as additional 5 slots for good status boost, as the big slot show Charm I thought it is the Protection Charm from Item Mall. The 4 slots under the pet also very faded and hard to notice, so I thought Rune will be using the Accessory Slot all this time. Manage to get 2 Rune cheap to try out, one boost attack while the other boost status.

Still in progress of getting my other windy toon to get merchant so that some item will be tradable, got to level a lot of pet on Aphelion as Foxy brought most of it and need to restock. Might try to complete all the quest at the four realms, but will try to complete all the weekly and daily quest first. I will start my Phoenix Toon after I get merchant for the other windy toon, at least I already try out the path o Aphelion to confirm some info.

Epic Party:

 

Horizon:

Been collecting insect for the past one week, manage to get 132 Chaos Smelting Stone. god manage to get 156 Chaos Smelting Stone, I got a 12 Chaos Smelting Stone head start but he had over took me from day 3 onward and had been ahead of me by 30 more ever since. My farming rate drop from the 30 per day to 21 and later 12 as compare to the previous event, one of the main reason is the new Treasure Chest Location are really hard to find and hard to reach.

A lot of players had been looking forward to the Epic Party which Fawkes had been promising for a month ago, but it is a disappointment as it is not as Epic as the one we use to have before the Server Migration. They are having 400% Experience and Skill Point, 200% Drop Rate and 200% Pet Experience for 4 days from Friday 28th Apr to Monday 1st May, they will be having 200% Upgrade and 400% Jewel Event on Friday and Monday from 1300 hrs to 1600 hrs.

There will be Artifact Event on Sat and Sun and Game Master Buff at 1200 hrs, a lot of players are very excited about it but I am only glad that they extend the Insect Collection Event by another week. I hope they will be having Fall Event soon as there are high demand for Booster, and hopefully they will have better Upgrade and Jewel Event in the near future.

As the timing of the event is Europe Time, is will mostly happen during my sleep hours. And since the Jewel Event is only good for Level 5 Jewel, my Element Jewel will have to wait. I also not planning on doing any upgrade of my gear as it is not worth the effort, instead I give some Grade 5 Heaven Stone to Avatar to help him with his Weapon as he does not have much gold.

Lego also looking for Heaven Stone Grade 5, the price had raise from 150M to 240M in just a day after the announcement for Upgrade Event is confirmed. I actually offer to sell him the Heaven Stone at the same 120M which I brought from him before the Server Migration but he insist he should pay 150M instead. He is very grateful for all the help I offer and ask if there are any way he would be able to repay my kindness, I told him to let me know whenever he is selling his Heaven Stone so that I will be able to restock it for the next upgrade event.

I had start buying Skill Book and Monster Combo Accessory as they are cheap, Skill Book price drop from 200M to about 50M and Monster Combo Accessory drop from 1B to 3B to about 200M to 500M. I only buy those with HP Steal, and now I got so many of them until even my Farming Toon are also wearing it. I also brought those without HP Steal and price about 50M to try the combination, but so far it doesn't really turn out well with any good seal.

Aphelion:

Foxy brought all my Rune Ore, I suddenly became very rich overnight. I decided to buy some good Accessory which will help in killing monster, mange to complete my first quest at the Four Realm and gain some Experience. I had been killing Experience Boss and Easter Bunny and Chicken for the pass one month to gain three level, now I can slowly level my toon to Level 185 when I find the time after the Insect Collection Event.

Also manage to sold a lot of pet too, I can still level Horse and Drake Away From Keyboard but I still need to find time to Level Panda and Ichi for Sales again. Sold a lot of Pet Experience Potion during the 200% Pet Experience Event over the Weekend, I manage to save the better stuffs for my own use and sell those which I don't really need. I had become a Multi Trillionaire within a few days, but it is still nothing as compare to being a Multi Billionaire on the Official Server.

Chaos Theory 2.0:

Blue mobs drop some event item like the Rain and Insect, so it will be advisable to complete the Affinity during those events. Personal drops like Treasure Map or Element of Iris cannot be pick up by other players even if you let them, guess Dext didn't know about that when he offer to let me pick up Merac Fire when we first met.

 

Manage to get 96 Chaos Stones on old server during the event, keep 24 for own use and sold the rest at 150M each and earn 10B. Initially most of it was sold to Ashi, later Angel add me to friend list and request to buy all my Chaos Stone and Heaven Stone. Jo ask me to shut up, so I start to play the part of having a silent spell until she decided to let me talk again. Brought 36 Lucky from Admiral at 60M each, spend about 2B.

 

Gonads want to change his horse color, I help him with the color crystal I get from Absolute Zero. He doesn't trust with trading his mount to me as he had been scam before, end up I manage to get a good reputation for helping him. Seem like he is just testing me for my honesty, as he give me a Platinum Adrenaline and Pet Cool Down Remover which is worth a lot in return for my help.

 

Later when I heard him looking for Pet Customization Card, I send it to him as a gift as I got some Iris Cash left. He later give me another Platinum Adrenaline and Pet Cool Down Remover again, guess he is very rich as he is planning to get 2 Elephant and 3 Jaguar so that he can avoid the Cool Down.

 

Manage to get 18 Chaos Stones at new server, but unable to sell it as there are less players. Just keep it for own use and sell my Heaven Stone to raise money for the Merchant Profession. Long Shot seem to be less active recently, he only log in for the attendance. I also adjust my timing to only play during weekdays evening so that I get to meet up with him and chat.

 

I always told him about what happened during my stay at the old server during the weekend, but he seem to be less interested. He use to worry about me when I play in PVP channels, but I told him there are not much players here and nobody will bother to kill me anyway as I did not offended anyone.

 

From my observation, he must have encountered some mishaps in the old server before which make him lose hope and decided to start fresh on the new server. Maybe I am wrong about that, as he seem like he just enjoy helping newbies.

 

Insect Collection:

 

Element of Iris Event didn't start back, but to my surprise the Insect Collection Event is back again like the Rain Drop Event. It is not luck that got me the Gold Box, there is a way of keep deleting the Normal Box until you get the Gold Box. Anyway the Box only cost 100 Golds, so it is still worth the effort.

 

The Gold Box will have additional 30 points added, so I will only need to collect Insects that are worth 96 points to get 3 Chaos Stone. That is even much easier than getting 3 Perfect Moonstones with 101 points during the last event. Within 6 hours of the event I had already manage to get 9 Chaos Stones.

 

Manage to complete a lot of stuffs too, hunt 6 Grand Red Dragon during the process. Manage to gain 15K of Guild Points for the New Dragon Hunter Guild, planning to get it to Level 10 like First Knight Guild with 100 Member Slots. The same will be done for the Demon Slayer Guild too, but that will take some time to complete.

 

Found out from my friend wife that they are having some issue with their computer, that is why I had never see them for the past 3 months. I had manage to get some Rare Accessory for them which will help a lot in their game, and I think they are also planing to get Windy and Holy Bless Buff like me.

 

I just need to find out whether my friend is going to become a Specialist or Elementalist first before I decide on my path for my Sorcerer. Imagine we leveling up together like the good old days and hunt a few Raid Boss along the way, I hope they will be able to get back in time for the coming Halloween, World Cup and Xmas Event.

 

I also hope for all my friends who had play this game before to be back, it will help to improve the economy of the game if there are more players farming for stuffs. It is also easier to form party with different class and get all the support from each other.

Insect Collection:

 The Insect Collection Event had started, never knew about it until I saw the insect drop before me. I had to teleport back to town to buy the Collection Box from Lorrein, the Grand Balrog also spawn just before I do that.

The different insect give different points, the more points you collect the better is the reward. You can take it easy and get 56 points for one Moonstone, or you can try to get 101 points for 3 Perfect Moonstone.

I usually throw those 1 point Bee, 2 to 3 point Butterfly and 4 to 5 points Dragonfly, only keep those insects which are 6 points and above. You can just fill up the box first with whatever insect you got and then later remove those that you doesn't want when the box is full.

The other prize are kind of impossible to me as you need a lot of luck to find rare insects, but the 126 points which give 3 Chaos Smelting Stone seem very tempting to me.

Some players like to go for the 26 points Sour Plum which is like Lucky Scroll which increase drop rate or 41 points Water Melon Slice which is like Experience Scroll but lesser percentage.

As the event will be on for a week, it kind of push my schedule back by two weeks for the Newbie Guide. My original plan is to start on 4th August, but seem like I will only be able to start it on 18th August if there are not further delay. 

 

Halfway There:

Manage to get my third Billion after two weeks, really ran out of stuffs to sell. Manage to get 6 Extreme Stone at 5 Millions each, so far the cheapest Lucky Stone is 55 Millions and Chaos Stone is 200 Millions. I will keep observing until I manage to find Lucky Stone at 50 Millions and Chaos Stone at 180 Millions before I buy it.

Actually it is more worth it to buy it from Item Mall as Lucky Stone will cost about 15 Millions and Chaos Stone will cost about 50 Millions. But I am not sure why the Upgrade Package of 6 Lucky Stone, 6 Chaos Stone and 1 Extreme Stone is only available in the Recommended Server.

Guess they are trying to make thing easy for new players, but so far I didn't see much active players on the Recommended Server. Most players will switch over to the other server after they are familiar with the game, as there are more active and experience players in the other server.
