Christmas Event:

 

Horizon:

Christmas Event had started, they had make a few changes. Horizon is moved to an America Host, hopefully those US players will encounter less lag from now. Foresee a lot of EU players will transfer their toons to EU Servers as they will not be able to gain unfair advantage in Castle Siege from now, they had also make Pandora the Recommended Server with permanent 2 x XP and SP and Blessed Rewards drop for Level 120 and below.

I am considering to transfer a few toon to Pandora to farm for Heaven Stone Grade 5, at the moment I had short listed the Level 164 Ex Ranger for that, Level 185 Ex Ranger for Event Bosses and Level 185 Specialist for Windy Buff. They doesn't allow any transfer of Accessory,so I might had to consider getting some Coin of Hero from the Loyalty Rewards in future to get some good accessory.

Been on Pandora and having Loyalty Rewards will boost the status and been able to live like a king as there are very limited resources, and bringing 15K of Heaven Stone Grade 5 and all the Premium Stuffs over will really help the server a lot. Still not sure if I want to transfer one of the Specialist over to Osiris for Windy Buff, as it is already very crowded increasing the channel to 8 channels will not really make much different.

They had change the rewards for Christmas Lacaette, PSSP had been replaced by Chocolate, White Token had been change to Strong Med, Heaven Stone Grade 5 had been change to IDB, EXP Scroll had been change to Candle and Effort Scroll had been change to Curse Removal. Players seem to have less motivation to farm for snow flake now after they notice the change in the rewards, and I notice Pandora seem to be more active to get the Christmas Tree Buff before Horizon and even see more players farming for snow flake like pumpkin during the Halloween Event.

So overall transferring a few of my toon from Horizon to Pandora with most of the stuffs may be a very good idea after all as it got much more potential to grow and become more active than Horizon. And it seem that the drop rate and luck are much better too as there are not much hoarder to take up the limited quota. My only worry is that it might become crowded like Osiris as a lot of other players might share the same idea like me and decide to transfer some of their toon and stuffs over.

 P.S.:

There is a 200% Upgrade and 2000% Jewel Event, make use of it to make a new toon for Tairan on Pandora. Manage to level it to Level 133 in just about 8 hours, this prove that 2 times XP and SP really give an advantage. As this toon will be able to farm Heaven Stone Grade 5, I am not sure if I still need to transfer any toon to this server.

I was thinking of getting Level 120 Jump Box from Item Mall to make this toon at first, and use the Coin of Hero from Loyalty Rewards to get some good Accessory. But from the look of it, I might not even need any Level 185 Jump Box to make my Windy Buff toon as leveling is so much easier on this server.

Manage to upgrade a few Weapons too from Level 33 to Level 121, guess I do not have to worry much on this server as I got as much resources now as I had on Osiris. My main concern now is to whether keep this server for testing without transferring any toon or stuffs from Horizon or transfer most of it and live like a king. 

Finally decided to transfer a Level 185 Specialist to Osiris for Buff, also decided to transfer 3 toon to Pandora. For Pandora I had transfer a Level 185 Specialist too for Buff, but it can also be use for Event Boss as it is already setup for that. I also decided to transfer another Level 185 Ex Ranger for Event Boss too, and a Level 131 Ex Ranger which I can use for Pet Leveling and later level up to Level 164 for farming Heaven Stone Grade 5.

I had also decided to transfer most of the stuffs which I don't really need from Horizon to both Osiris and Pandora, so I will be able to live comfortably on both EU Server. I notice there are also a lot of players transferring their toon to Osiris and Pandora too, as I start to see more stuffs available on Pandora. Guess those EU players will be going back to Osiris as they are unable to gain unfair advantage against the US players now, some of the players decided to try Pandora too as it is easier to level up with permanent 2 times XP and SP.

Been having constant DC issue recently, had ask Dev Asori to add my IP Address to the server white list. But I was told to repair the client instead. I had repair it recently when the client window is showing 10 x 10 resolution, but out of faith in Asori I decided to try repairing it again. After I did the repair the DC issue still continue to exist, with the rate of getting kick by the server every 2 mins it come to about 30 DC in an hour.

As the DC seem very constant, I decided to trouble shoot the issue myself instead of waiting for their support or response to my ticket as I think they are already in the holiday mood. I had try monitor the memory issue closely with the indication on my rain meter and the recently installed game booster, I had been sure that it could not be memory issue since I installed game booster as it will close my other game client first.

I decided to try something out of the box although I did not think Fawkes will do something so unscrupulous, but to my surprise I stop getting any more DC after I close my other game client. I am very disappointed as it just show how bad they are to make improvement in their server that they had to use this extreme method to eliminate their competition, how they use to boost about their minor achievement and keep finding excuse for the delay in progression had already make me look down on them long time back.

I am forgiving enough to overlook this incident, but they might one day be sue by other players for doing that as most countries had law to prevent unfair competition and protect the freedom of choice, I am not sure when they will suffer the consequences of their action but I just pray that this day will not come sooner as it will really affect a lot of other players. I hope they will repent and start to do some real improvement to the game instead of continuing using all the under hand means. 

Tango and Cash:

 Legends:

Daily Reward is 500 Cash, 4 Toons = 2K Cash. Buy Character Expansion 199 Cash, 8 Toons = 3.8K Cash. Do this for 5 Accounts = 19K Cash.

The best class to play with are Witch and Nightshadow, as they both got PVP AOE without the need for Skill Book.

Use the Promo Code WelcomeToLegends to get the 7 Days Buff, there is also a WeekendComp Promo Code for 50 Slot Token which can use to get Legends Token by clicking the 7 near Mini Map or press Y. These Legends Token will be good for getting Boosters, but I usually use it to get Master Coin for better Accessory at the Start and later use it to get +25 Master Stone when I need to Upgrade Level 145 and 157 Weapon.

Usually start with a Witch, get a Guardian. Set the Auto Pick Up to Others and Auto Ignition to Level 2. You can use the Premium Buff at 5M by right click on your Character Name, you can also Teleport back to town too. Do Newbie Quest to get the Relic, you will get all the other skill at Level 2 and the highest damage one will help with killing Level 27 Blood Wolf. You will be around Level 14 to 17 by the time you complete the quest if you use the PBI, go kill some Level 30 Elder to level up to Level 20 to get the Event Weapon.

At Level 20 you can now got to Dratan, go to Temple of Forgetfulness. You can reach Level 31 fast and get the Level 31 +15 Set if you use the Experience Boosters, go to Skill Master to change class and learn the PVP AOE. Go back to Temple of Forgetfulness and level to Level 50, you will get Level 42 +15 Set.

At Level 50 you can now go Tomb and you will be able to get Play Time Rewards of 10 Diamond, 10 Legends Token and 100 Coin of Master at the Mail every hour. You can start killing Level 100 Screaming Zombie with Veteran Composure and AOE, you will get Level 57 +15 Set and Level 87 +15 Set. You can start using Lucky Spell Book and Gold Booster for Level 110 Sphinx Commander as they drop more gold, you can also use Cube Gold Potion if you have.

At Level 100 you will get another Newbie Quest to get the Pendant, you will also start getting Cash every hour. Go to Floriam Cave at Egeha to complete the quest, you might want to do Experience Lock at Level 104 so that you can use this toon to Farm Gold and Level Pet.

The AOE Skill Book can get with 5 Daily Quest Ticket with NPC near Arena, there is also a Buff NPC which give more Exp till Level 90 and then more Damage after Level 90. The skill book can also be farm from Tomb Boss and Norg or from Laca Ball using Diamond. The normal Token is good for getting Boosters and 7 Days Buff.

You can now start a Night Shadow, you can level your toon to Level 145 at Floriam Cave. You will get Level 121 +15 Set, this will be the last set you get. You can get Level 145 Weapon from Level 140 Lilit, you can also get Level 145 to 147 Armor Set from Tairan when you reach Level 140. 

Upgrade the Armor Set to +15 and the Weapon to +25 with Heaven Stone to +15 and Devil Rune for Level 146 and 147, from +16 to +25 will need to use Master Stone. You will be able to equip the Weapon and Glove at Level 142 with Premium Character and the rest of the Armor Set at Level 144.

You can get good SP at Tairan, you will need 75K, 150K, 300K and 650K SP to level up your AOE. At Level 150 you will get a quest for Level 157 -10 Weapon, it will be faster at Channel 1 with Artifact and some say the 2-1-1 setup give the best Exp and Gold.

At Level 165 you will be able to go Dark Fortress to farm Material for crafting you Level 165 Weapon and Armor, but it will be better to buy it from other players. Some players farm Perks from Raid Boss to improve their stats, there are also Achievements which give some boost too. Phoenix System also give buffs and can be use at any level with 2K Cash from Item Mall. 

Affinity stuffs, Med, Curse Removal can get from Moonstone, there is a chance to win 10K Cash too. So far I am not impress with the affinity as there are not much stuffs selling at the Merchant Shop, maybe it will be better at higher level.

You can make a Level 60 toon to farm stuffs at Temple of Forgetfulness to avoid the crowd, there is also another option to make a Level 87 toon to farm both gold and stuffs in Egeha Level 88 and 90 Ghost. But the second option will use more boosters for gold and doesn't get Cash every hour like Level 100 toon. The benefit is that it will be faster and get more gold and able to farm some boosters without the mess of gear drop. 

 P.S.:

 Manage to get another 10K more Cash as I am able to delete 4 toons from each account in just 3 hours and create new one, 29K of Cash plus the 16K Cash which I had save up on 2 accounts allow me to buy 6 VIP 2 Package. The main thing I need is the Phoenix Ticket and the VIP Title, the VIP 4 Package give Phoenix Pet and VIP 6 Package give Costume.

Try out the Scissor Paper Stone Game and got lucky with 7 Wins, I think the highest will be 8 Wins. It got 6 different type of rewards boxes so far from Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Incredible and Legendary and from Medium onward it give some Diamonds and Legends Tokens. All boxes give certain amount of Skill Damage Booster from 50 to 300 I think with 50 increment, I decided to transfer all of them to my main. 

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. 

Side Track 3.0:

 Horizon:

Manage to level up my other Pet Leveler from Level 152 to Level 161 during the 500% Exp Event, was planning for Level 164 at 3 level per day but I am busy with other stuff on one of the day. No rush to level it anyway, just trying to make the best of all events.

 Pandora:

Manage to sell 2 Wolfrik Leash and got 6B, but can't seem to find any stuffs to spend on as there are not much thing selling. Manage to get the Weapon to +30 during the 200% Upgrade Event, going to meld Level 10 Chaos Coral and Coral during the 1500% Jewel Event to bring the HP much higher.

Osiris:

Manage to complete the Level 60 Set to +30 with the 200 Heaven Stone Grade 5 from Avatar, finally able to plan for more tasks for this toon. As it is easy to get stuffs on this server, I am not so worry and plan to focus more on other server.

 

 

Legends:

New server finally open today, try it out and found that it is very similar to Phoenix. Manage to get lucky and got two 5 x Hit Rate Accessory, guess it can sell for very high price as there will be a huge demand for it. The other item which is on high demand is the AOE Skill Book, I will try to get it from Laca Ball using Diamond later when I get more of it. 

P.S.:

 Manage to get another 5 x Hit Rate Accessory, since Anaq decided to join might as well give one to her together with other Accessory with high Hit Rate to help. I also decided to transfer one of them to my Ex Ranger to try out the optimized leveling progress so that I can draft a rough guide for Newbie, although it is very similar to Phoenix it is still good to refresh my memory.

Guard: Prem Drop Booster x 2, LSB, Diamond 

Bravery: Effort Scroll x 2, PSSP, Diamond

Protection: Lvl 14 Chaos Jewel, Lvl 14 Jewel, 5 Cash, Diamond

Found that the best way is to create a Level 60 Witch and farm for Legends Token at Temple Of Forgetfulness with Dark Smog AOE (PVP), then use it to get Experience Boosters from Laca Ball to support the leveling of other characters. There should be another Newbie Quest at Level 145 to get the Armor Set, waiting for Anaq to confirm as she can level faster than me. Can also create another Level 104 Witch to farm Gold at Tomb with Sphinx Commander, or Night Shadow if the condition allowed.

Anaq told me there is no quest at Level 145, so I foresee it will be tough at Tairan. Most players will quit before they even reach Level 121, as they find that it took too long to level in Floriam Cave. Some even quit before Level 87 when they find it tough to get Spinx Commander at crowded Tomb, not sure why an private server would want to become hard like official server.

Aphelion had gone downhill since they Nerf the AOE Pet, the Level 200 Patch is still ok but the Level 220 Patch make it tough to farm B8 Set. It become even worst when the Level 225 Patch came and the Damage is Nerf and make it even tougher, and direct start at Level 165 is a nightmare for Newbie who doesn't have any knowledge and experience and lack of quests to guide them.

I think they should have a Newbie Quest for Level 145 Set and even the Level 157 Set, they should also provide more options for leveling like Egeha instead of Tomb or Trivia Crayon, Misty Crayon and Ebony Mine instead of Tairan. If not they will have to open more channels for players to be evenly distributed but it will become redundant when most had level up at later stage.

Like the official they should stop introducing more costume and useless pet and focus more on events, they should also think of different ways for players to get the stuffs they need instead of wasting a lot of time farming for it. They can still boost their Item Mall sales from those players who doesn't have much time to play but still want a better advantage, like Jump Box package with all the Gears and Accessory they need. 

 Manage to get about 4.3K of Experience Boosters from 1.4K Legends Tokens, took about 3 hours to farm at about 450 Tokens per hour. Guess it will be able to last for few days as I am only able to use about 1K to 2K per day, but I will still stick to the plan of farming it every evening as it will be crowded in Floriam Cave.

 Finally mange to get to Level 145, remember that the Level 145 Armor Set can be brought from Tairan NPC. Also manage to get the Armor Set to +15 and the Weapon to +25 with Heaven Stone to +15 for Level 145 and Devil Rune for Level 146 and 147, from +16 to +25 will need to use Master Stone.

There is a quest at Level 150 to kill 200 Seekers of both type and two Norgs in Tairan, heard that the reward is Level 157 Weapon. Trade 5 Daily Quest Tickets for Tiger Mount since can get AOE Skill Book from Diamond Laca, Tomb Boss and Norgs also drop them too.

Happy Halloween:

Horizon:

 

 Halloween Event had started, they had made some minor changes to Halloween Boss. This year is Gourdra and it will drop the followings:

 

Premium+ Character Item (1 Hour),
Spirits of the Hollow - Title,
Candle x25,
Anniversary Candle x20,
Halloween Token x25,
Halloween Token Box x5,
Faction Booster x10,
Faction Iris x1

 

Not sure why they would want to change the Halloween Boss and the drops, as the previous one seem fine.  We already got a lot of Faction Iris from last year Christmas Snowflake Laca, guess the price of Fraction Iris will drop even more. The interesting one is the 1 hour Premium Character Plus, but seem like the drop rate is very low like the Spirit of the Hollow Title.

 

Decided to use a new toon for Halloween Event this year, as the previous one is sharing the same account with one of my Pet Leveler. As I doesn't want to affect the progress of Project Ferrari, I had already transfer all the Gears and Candy to the new toon when I completed Project Phoenix as I am using it to farm for Pictorial Book stuffs. I had plan to transfer the gears of most of my Raid Boss Hunters to Phoenix Toons, but most of them seem ok for now.

 

P.S.:

 

Been having a lot of Memory issue recently, decided to try out the Game Booster App. It help to keep the Anti Cheat and Browser from hogging the Memory which allow the Game Client to run smoother and prevent lags and disconnection. 

 

Osiris:

 

Finally manage to get Merchant Profession for one of the toon, able to sell the two Character Rename Card and get Merchant Profession for other three toons. Manage to get Accessory with 10% MP Steal and 50% Cool Down Reduction, decided to equip it on the toon which I am using for Temple of Forgetfulness.

 

Pandora:

 

Very hard to get the stuffs I need or sell any stuffs due to the lack of players, but I am able to farm gold and stuffs. Got to mix and match different Accessory to get the 10% MP Steal and 50% Cool Down Reduction, but I could always keep making new toons to benefit from the stuffs from Newbie Package. The good things about playing on EU Servers are that I am able to use the Buff Codes, it doesn't really run out like when I am playing on US Server. 

 

 

 

How To Train Your Dragons:

 

 

Horizon:

Going to level two Drake to Level 31 for passive buff, I usually use it for Magic Defense for Kami Killer but now it is more for Attack. The other one is usually just use for Pick Up but the Archer already got the Pumpkin to do that, all the Farming Toons are using Linko Lizard for the same purpose. Decided not to transfer the gear and accessory to third set of farming toons, but just transfer the Pictorial Book stuffs instead.

Or I can just transfer all the Pictorial Book stuffs to the 2nd set of farming toons since I am using them more now, it will also be more convenience to do Advert Laca on one toon instead of three. I can also transfer the stuffs between the 2nd set of farming toons with 3rd set of farming toon so that they can also get some SP and Affinity too, but either way doesn't really make much different to me as they do not affect my other setup.

The 2nd set of farming toons are sharing the same account for my toons on Pandora Server while the 3rd set are link to Osiris, so either way it still doesn't really affect my game play much as I will not be playing on Horizon when I am trying out some theory on other server. I also never realize that my setup is so perfect until now, I guess trusting my instinct had been the right choice all these years.

The first Drake is ready after about 5 days, 2 days ahead of schedule. As the progress is good for the first Drake, I foresee it will be the same for the remaining pets. Not sure if I want to level my Scorpion Mantis on my Goldie Hunter from Level 26 to Level 31, as it will only take about 3 days I might as well get it done. 

Manage to complete the Scorpion Mantis in 2 days, from the progress it is really faster by about 30%. Now I just have to wait for the whole project to complete before I can do the Big Data Analysis for a more accurate evidence that my theory is right, not sure if Caugs keep any record of his pet leveling progress if not it will be even more useful as his result might be different from mine. It will be good to know what are the factors that contribute to the different and then make some fine tuning to perfect it.

 

 

Manage to get another Drake from Level 5 to Level 31 in about 4 days, it will be a good timing as I can use another pet leveler for Project Ferrari just before the Pet XP Event. This will conclude this post with the completion of Drake and Scorpion leveling, I got another low level horse on another raid boss hunter which need to be level to Level 31 too but as I seldom use it so there is no urgency for it.
 

Note:

This post will conclude after completion of Drake and Scorpion leveling. (Post concluded with completion of Drake and Scorpion leveling. No further update in the future.)

Pictorial Book:

 Horizon:

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

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

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

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

 

P.S.:

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

Project Phoenix 6.0:

 

Horizon:

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

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

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

 P.S.:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Project Phoenix 5.0:

 

Horizon:

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

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

 

Beta Tester:

 Cricket had invite me to help him test his server, I had agree to it after the Christmas Event end. He had change it in a way that we would get enough SP from quests to learn our skills, I like his ideas of making players work for something instead of giving it to them direct. After trying out for a day I manage to complete the Apprenticeship and level the guild to Level 6 for XP Lock, I also make another toon to try out the system twice to confirm some doubt.

I really like the layout of the map with NPC at various location which cover most of the area so that we do not have to waste time running around, it even have portal which allow teleport in both direction to make it easy. I find the quests are a bit off as I seem to level pass most of the mob before I complete the quest, and the level of the mob for the same quest seem to vary more than 6 levels which make the lower level mob already turn blue before we complete it.

This is very obvious from the start where I had to go back and kill lower level mob after I had already level pass it, and I try to repeat the process just to get a confirmation. The most obvious example is when I finally get the quest to go Velpist Temple after killing Level 27 Blood Wolf, and the quest in Velpist Temple require me to kill Level 10 Wandering Zombie, Level 12 Ancient Zombie and Level 14 Berserk Zombie.

As the mob had already turn blue, it will not give any drops which defeat the purpose of the quest. I am also unable to kill Level 27 Blood at Level 15 or lower so that I could ensure that Level 10 Wandering Zombie will still be green, so I foresee this will be a major issue for most players. The rewards for the quests had also been change to ensure we get better stuffs that are useful, it also give us the option to choose between different items depend on which one we think we will need more.

But overall I will say it is still not Newbie Friendly, as I also face difficulty at lower level before I complete my apprenticeship. The new update that the official server had make seem to be the better option with +15 gears at different level which allow us to complete apprenticeship easily. I notice that the Starter PBI and PSSP had been increase from 1 to 5 but the level limit did not increase from Level 35 to Level 50.

This will make it useless as we only able to use 1 when we do Prokion Temple and we will encounter a bottle neck at around Level 40 when we went to do the Jail Dungeon at Merac. Official Server ways of giving LI and Boosters seem to backfire when they are unable to stop Spam Bot from using World Chat as they are able to get to Level 50 easily, and stopping low level from using World Chat seem to be a bad idea all along.

Transformers:

 Horizon:

Seem like they have underestimate the botter and decided to end the Christmas Event early, a lot of players are very unhappy about it. Even after the introduction of Anti Cheat they found out that some players are still able to find a way around it and continue to farm a lot of snow flake, it doesn't really affect the US server much as there are not much active players.

I was surprised that Spam Bot had YouTube Channel, not sure what kind of video they going to show. As usual they are in Merchant Mode and there us nothing much I can play with, I just have to ignore them until they come out with a solution to get rid of them completely. A lot of players think they are going to increase the level limit further from Level 50 to Level 100 for using world chat, but that is going to cause a lot of issues for other players.

For example god had start to feel lonely when he can't chat with other while he is SP Farming with his low level toon, a lot of newbie also unable to get any help which will be back to square one of them quitting the game. Raising the level limit also not effective as I had try before and prove that it can be done in just 4 to 6 hours, and delay of account registration also doesn't seem to work.

Overall we can see that they are just lazy to do the check themselves, and keep finding excuse that they are short in manpower. They also doesn't trust the Game Sage to give them more authority, and their selection of Game Sage prove to be doubtful after hearing a lot of players feedback that the Game Sage seem to target certain players without any reason and take thing personally just to show their power.

Aphelion:

Got another Rudolph pet, and I think I am going to get about 2 more when I transfer stuffs with merchant toon. Thing start to head in the good direction after they start to focus more, and the recent Christmas Event prove to be better as compare to Halloween. They should continue to improve and dare to be different instead of following other people footstep, that is what make them unique from other server and attract more players.

Happy New Year:

 Aphelion:

Manage to get 9 Rudolph, think will be able to get more before the event end. Anti wanted to give me a Legendary Dual Sword, but I had been happy with the normal one as I do not want to encounter any damage limit which most players had encountered. Manage to get Level 200 Armor Set for all my alternate after completing 6 sets which include 3 for Rogue, 1 for Mage, 1 for Sorcerer and 1 for Healer. Now the only thing left is to get the weapon for few of them.

Horizon:

Got about 3 Laca Costume so far, for Knight, Rogue and Mage. The one god give me when I give him the Baby Goat Pet was for Healer, guess I just need to get Titan, Sorcerer and Night Shadow to complete the collection. Still got about two weeks before the event end, mostly doing farming and pet leveling. The Laca Costume most likely will be giving away when I do Marie Kondo again before Christmas.

Hopefully I am able to get more potions from the Easter Event as I had transfer most of it to my pet leveler, at the moment I just try to get as many Heaven Stone Grade 5 as possible for future upgrade event. Been playing causally for the past few months and had built a reputation for myself as I had give away a lot of stuffs, guess the stuffs I am going to get from Loyalty Rewards will be mostly use for the Giveaway before Christmas too.

Spam Bot start to appear when New Year us near, guess they got some quota to meet like those scammer who keep calling me on my phone. They are smarter this time and set themselves in Merchant Mode so that a lot of my previous trick doesn't work on them, so in the end all the players had to just add them to Ignore List. It is a surprise to me that they still think it is worth the effort even though there are not much active players here, maybe a lot of players decided to give up on EU server and stay here for good.

Merry Christmas:

 Horizon:

Got 3 Laca Costume this year, Knight, Healer and Rogue. A lot of players claimed it is harder to get this year, but it doesn't really bother me much as I am not into cosplay. The other two horse are Level 56 and Level 53, guess I should be able to get two more horse mount by year end. Not sure if I want to continue leveling more horse after that, as I notice more players start to target pet leveler for no reason.

 P.S.:

 

 

Peanut got into a big fight with another player, as usual both of them think they are right and others are wrong. They can't really understand that it is just a game, they treat it like it is some kind of competition or their livelihood depend on it. Guess a lot of them had notice the increase in price for lot of stuffs as less players are going for the loyalty rewards and they are making it harder for players to get stuffs, they finally feel the pain of not much stuffs and not much gold while the OG just sit back and enjoy the whole drama.

Aphelion:

Been able to get 6 Rudolph this year, that is twice the amount I get as compare to last year. It is mainly because they give Token for every hour your toon stay online, and to my surprise the offline merchant get it too. I didn't even bother to do the Christmas Event Map this year as I am able to complete most of the quest from other means of getting the Decoration and Fragment, the Santa Claus one is harder to complete but I also manage to get 500 of each Fragment just from leveling a few pets. Now my only problem is to save up 30T of gold to get enough Curse Book for the pets to learn Buff Skill, I did get a lot of Pet Weapon and Armor from the Laca Ball.

They had come out with the Christmas Package this year, although they finally list the content of the package on Discord but due to the lack of Reborn Skip I am not really interested in it. Guess they are really worried about the drastic drop in players, and they are trying very hard to get all the old players back with rewards. The lack in management had cost them to lose a lot of loyal players over the months, and they should not have split their focus on two different server in the first place. Now Phoenix Server is completely dead with less than 50 players, not sure if Warth and Anaq still insist on staying there. Although Aphelion Server had seen a small increase in players to about 300, but most of them are old players which got bored of Phoenix Server and return instead of new players.

Advent Laca 2.0:

Horizon:

They had changed the Laca, but only White Token. It give Heaven Stone Grade 8, Socket Reset Scroll, Sublime Scroll, Red Lucky Pouch and Party Defense Potion. I manage to get 5 x Heaven Stone Grade 8, 14 x Socket Reset Scroll, 84 x Sublime Scroll, 291 x Red Lucky Pouch and 856 x Party Defense Potion from 1250 White Token.

They had increase the Christmas Tree Buff to Lvl 4 as usual, and mobs start to drop White Token. They had encountered a lot of botters for farming of Snow Flake, and there are players who had a few full stack of Fraction Iris. They decide to remove those full stacks as it will affect the economy of the game server, but not sure if it is really effective as the issue had been there for months.

P.S.:

Peanut seem to have a lot of hate in him, but he doesn't realized that nobody listen to his advice because it is bad. OG like god and Rick had been crazy about farming in Dark Tomb during Christmas Event since Gamigo time, but they had change their focus to Snow Flake since last Christmas. The reason behind it is that the rewards are better and it is so much easier, even after they Nerf the Christmas Event a lot this year still doesn't really change the fact.

After he realized that he will be stuck with all the stuffs he farm from both Christmas Event and Loyalty Rewards, he start to change his attitude and start selling them at higher price now. He should have realized that earlier since he had been having a lot of argument with Rick over the price of stuffs for months, so I am not sure that his recent changes is due to his fit of anger or finally open himself up to accept reality.

Pet Experience:

 

Horizon:

Had try out using Experience Pet to level P2 Pet using Pet Cool Down, from Level 1 to Level 40 still level normally. Start transferring experience from Exp Pet to P2 Pet from Level 40 onward with every kill and using Pet CD after that, it will need about 33 Pet CD to get to Level 50 and 63 Pet CD to reach Level 60. Manage to get two Kai to Battle and a Ursus to Nanook, now in progress of getting 4 more Elephant to Level 60 and 2 more Polar Bear to Nanook.

Try killing Christmas Boss with other players as usual, but the drop rate is bad with only Rick getting a Rein Deer Pet Collar after few days. That useless Game Sage had been trying to argue that the drops for Christmas Boss are different from Halloween Boss, it is that same as saying that the Christmas Candy are different from Halloween Candy. Christmas Event is just a Copy Cat of the Halloween Event, and as usual they try to boost about the minor changes as if they had put in a lot of effort into making the new patch.

The Seven Wonder of Horizon still continue to think they own the server as they continue to offer low price for buying stuffs, and the OG continue to laugh at them and keep their stuffs for their own use. We can see a lot of them are unable to get the stuffs they need during events, and the OG just ignore them and enjoy the fruits of their labor with all the stuffs they had save up over the years. And seem like a lot of them are also not prepared for the Advent Laca and start to envy the OG for getting so many good stuffs from it, guess they had only themselves to blame as they do not believe or listen to the OG advise when it was reveal to them few months before the event start.

 

Aphelion:

Manage to get another Rudolph with 20K Tokens, think should be able to get another 1 or 2 more before the event end. Now the issue is to save up enough gold to get the Curse Book for the Buff Skill, been using a lot for getting B8 gears for my Royal Knight, Ex Ranger and Arch Wizard.
