Future Proof:

Pandora:

Manage to find some Level 13 and 14 Chaos Corals, all my toon on this server are getting 60K to 80K HP. Situation seem to improve on this server after the transfer as it had become easier to get stuffs after some players transfer some of their toon and stuffs here, but the situation had become worst on Horizon with some Osiris players enforcing their bad culture and hogging limited resources.

The main issue is that they always offer to buy stuffs at half the market price and expect to sell their stuffs at double the market price, they are treating other players like an idiot and keep claiming that they are new with not much gold and expect other players to do some charity and give them stuffs for free. But since the situation had improved on Pandora with more players and more stuffs it is not logical that Osiris players did not bring their stuffs over to Horizon.

There might be another explanation for the current situation on Horizon, some old players might be using the opportunity to make new toon just to scam other players which I know a few of them who had done the same before. As I had encounter a lot of ungrateful players in the past, I had decided to ignore most of their request for help. This is not a very good sign for the server as there might be genuine new players who really need all the help they could get, but there are too many of them who display the same profile behavior that fit those old players who had disappear suddenly and haven't been seen actively on other server as they had claimed.

Since the situation had improved a lot on Pandora and I had get use to the lifestyle there, I guess I will be playing more on that server in the future. Unless the situation on Horizon start to improve I will continue to ignore all the drama they trying to start just to get my attention, it will also be good for me as they had no idea what I am doing now and start showing signs of them going crazy over it.

P.S.:

Notice a lot of players from IMPERIO Guild are farming at Wafe for the Easter Event, not sure if they are getting good drop rate for that. I think TOF will be a better choice as usually we get 50% more drop from dungeons, even those high level are farming in Dark Tomb and Lab. 

Notice a lot of new players start to get frustrated and want to quit, this is mainly because they are unable to get help from other players or get the  stuffs they need at lower price. They are also unable to sell any of their stuffs at higher price too, and all these had make it hard for them to survive.

 

Replacement:

 

Horizon:

Manage to finally get my other Pet Leveler from Level 161 to Level 164, it was lucky that they decided to run the 500% XP and SP Event for a week like before. Manage to complete all the Upgrade and Jewel for all my toon on EU Server too during the recent 200% Upgrade and 1500% Jewel Event, guess I do not have to worry much for a very long time.

 I was thinking of  leveling my Pandora toon, but feel that I am not really in a hurry to do that. My instinct told me to focus more on Horizon first as it is still my home server although I kind of like Pandora better. Manage to get some good Accessory on Pandora too with the Coin of Hero from the Loyalty Rewards, although I already have a few good Accessory on Osiris but Avatar insist that he will try to get some better one for me. 

Since I had transfer 4 toon to EU Server, I decided to get replacement for them. The most important thing is to get a second Windy Toon for Buff so that I can also buff those toon which share the same account with my original buff toon, as I wanted to upgrade and jewel the Level 170 Set for future use I use the Level 185 Jump Box to speed up the process like what I did before.

The remaining 3 toon I decided to try pushing their limit until all the Boosters from Newbie Package and Promo Code are use up, so far it had been constant with the result from Project Zodiac but this time I am going to push them further to around Level 115 before I use the Level 120 Jump Box. I will also try to get them ready for Mond Entry so that I can slowly level them while I farm for Heaven Stone Grade 5 during the 500% XP and SP Event.

I am going to get them to Level 164 and Level 175 or 185 with another Royal Knight, guess I already had everything planned ahead without me knowing it myself. I had always trust my instinct all my life and it had proven it over and over again that my instinct are always right, even the recent transfer of toon to EU Server also part of the greater plan without me knowing at first. 

 

 P.S.:

Finally decided to use the 120 Jump Box at Level 117 as the Level 60 +15 Armor Set is not giving enough defense to survive the mobs in Vald, actually I should have use it at Level 110 for a more efficient leveling. Manage to reach Level 128 after using all the Boosters, so still need to grind the remaining 2 levels at Trivia Valley.

I guess I will just leave it for a while and move on to other toon to see if I am able to reach Level 130 if I use the Level 120 Jump Box at Level 110 as what I think is the best option, I would not have this issue on Pandora as I can even out level the TOF Sign of Life Quest. Although I did not manage to get good SP from the TOF Quest but I would do XP Lock and stop using Boosters at Level 60 to ensure I can complete the TOF Quest.

 As expected I manage to get the other Ex Ranger to Level 131 with about 100 Boosters left over, guess I had so much knowledge and experience for this game until I can predict the outcome of most stuffs before I even try it out to prove it. I will try to work on the Specialist and finish his Mond Entry by tonight, then I can just focus on the other Ex Ranger and slowly level it to Level 130 from tomorrow onwards.

 The Specialist level slower reaching only Level 108 when the HP and MP Steal finish, so I decided to use the Level 120 Jump Box early to kick start the Vlad Quest. But it perform better at Vlad getting a level higher at Level 127 when all the quests are completed, I had also develop a routine for Vlad Quest with higher efficiency with less time wasted.

 Since there is 130% Dungeon Time Event I thought might as well level the Ex Ranger for the Mond Entry Quest, true enough it manage to gain 2 levels very fast even without any Boosters. Manage to complete the Mond Entry Quest too so that I can get another thing off my mind, I will now have to decided which toon I will be spending more quality with till the 500% XP and SP Event end.

Kind of Deja Vu when both toon hit Level 161 just before the 500% XP and SP Event ended, it was running for about 2 weeks and I would be able to complete it to Level 164 if not of too many distraction of organizing my stuffs. Hannah hand her Level 50 Guild to me after she heard that Avatar had did so, she had been feeling guilty towards me for giving her so much stuffs that she wanted to repay me back. Some players seem to have disappear since the server transfer started, but new players start to appear and cause drama all over again.

Still doesn't know how the players distribution will turn out until it end on 18th Jan, but so far from my own observation I had seen Pandora getting more active than Horizon. A very clear sign is that they are able to get the Christmas Tree Buff to level up much faster, another sign is that the spawning of Raid Boss become harder than before.

I am not sure if they had change the respawn timing for Raid Boss, but I am very sure I had kill the Grand Gold Dragon exactly 3 hours after server reboot but we are unable to spawn it even after trying for 2 to 3 hours after that. I had try out on all the 3 different servers and found that it might have been extended from 2 to 3 hours to about 6 hours as I had not been able to respawn it within the 2 to 3 hours interval like before but only after about 6 hours.

I will have to collect more data to determine and confirm the change in respawn time, it will not affect my schedule much as I already had plan to farm few hundred millions of gold for buying Accessory Box to open with Coin of Hero and also get Merchant Profession for my new toons. I might even try to spawn Kami which is less popular so that I will be able to determine the respawn time faster.
 

Independence Day:

 

 

Horizon:

 

As I had already finished harvesting my pet food and I am waiting for the 4th of July Event to start, I start farming casually on my Level 25 Mage on Dark Goddess. I will take a 2 hours break to do other stuffs after killing Kami on both Channels and wait for next spawn before I start farming again.

Kind of boring while I wait if I got nothing better to do, so sometimes I will continue to farm for another 2 hours. But since I am monitoring the progress of my pet leveling, I will do some simple calculation while I collect the data. It will serve as a very good guide for Newbie to follow as they can customize their pet leveler according to their needs after I compile the data and present the final results.

 

Finally started the 4th of July Event, I was thinking of using my merchant toon during my 2 hours wait for respawn to be more efficient. I can also switch toons to sell different stuffs too if I see the need for it, but as I got nothing much to buy these days I am not really bother if the stuffs actually sell. They will just continue to increase in price as the inflation hit the server, and a lot of players are going to feel the pain. 

Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat, Fortune Favors the Bold. Lux In Tenebris, Light in Darkness.

 Just sold 12B worth of Gold Booster in the morning and now manage to sell 35B worth of Legendary Iris, guess rotating the merchant toons during events is a very wise and efficient choice. I am going to change to another toon in the evening to see how much stuffs I can sell in just one day, guess since I got nothing much to buy these days it will be a good time to top up my Stone of Wise for Buffs. With that amount of gold I should be able to have full stack of it on my 6 different Buff Toons since I already got some left over on some of them.

 And just as I am updating the blog, I found out that I sold another 4B worth of Platinum Rune of Protection. And what even more amusing is that there are player willing to offer 7.5m for Lucky Scroll while I was selling it at only 5m in the morning, since I am lazy to switch toon they just have to wait for next morning. They should have stock up on the stuffs they need before events, stuffs are going to cost more during events.

I had been able to use my active toon to switch for Merchant Mode when I am taking short break, it will allow the other pet leveler toons to keep on leveling the pet without much disruption. It had prove to be very efficient so far with about 51B of sales in just a day by rotation of 3 different Merchant Toons to sell different stuffs, my previous operation is just to sell event related stuffs for the day and leave it for long period of time until the next event start.

I brought 5 stacks of Stone of Wise, give some to friends and still got full stack on all my 6 Buff Toons. Guess I do not have to worry about Buffs for a very long time, and I can always transfer it from those toons that I seldom use to those I often use if the supply run low. Because of that I decide to try my best to use all my toons more evenly, so I will be transferring  the stuffs to my third set of farming toons after I finish the orc by tonight.

There are also some higher level toons which I plan to start using them for some events, I will try to get the Level 80 Set for Rogue and Knight so that I will not need to swap them to other class at Collector Ryl. It will help save a lot of time and hassle as I can easily share the same set between toons of same class whenever I need, this is also following my instinct which will prove to be the right decision in time to come.

Found out that I got an account which was register together with the second batch which I haven't start using it, since I am using some of the second batch accounts for trying out stuffs to prove some theory it will be a good time to start creating some toons on it so that I can use it instantly whenever I need. The biggest challenge is to think of a few good names for the new characters as most of it had already been taken by other players, I will be using a few of them as a backup for my pet leveler in case they got targeted after their location had been exposed.

I also decided to delete some of the Trolling Toons from third batch which I had not been using much, it will help to create more variety to my new setup and allow joining of new guild and transfer of stuffs between toons. I will continue to use my fourth batch of toons for Merchant Mode since it had been doing well so far, not sure If I am going to let them join guild when I find the time as they don't really need to Lock their XP for SP Farming. I will have to reorganize their gears and accessory again when I find time to play with them, that will most likely happen after I finish with my third set of Farming Toons.

The new patch with Anti Cheat is causing a lot of issues with most players, so far most common issues are memory hog and clients crash. Initially running 3 clients with 16 GB of Ram is still stable, but later it become unstable even with only 2 clients running and got to do a restart to fix the issues. Finally found out that the Anti Cheat will stuck in memory and unable to load new client after the old one crash and also unable to terminate the Anti Cheat from the Task Manager too.

 Zed give me the Dual for the set he is making for me to help me level faster, he will replace the Chaos Opal with Chaos Coral after I reach Level 190. I will have to wait for 500% XP Event before I start leveling to save on my Legendary Iris, although I still have 180 of it but others players might need it more than me. I had already been using lower grade stuffs for myself like Level 14 Coral and Level 4 of other type of Jewel which max level is 5, the main reason for that is I do not want to waste any Jewel Protection Scroll.

Zed told me that he will also try to make another Level 190 set for my Ex Ranger, with that in working progress I am only left with the Specialist to worry for. But since I am not really a perfectionist like Zed and I seldom use other toon, I think the Level 170 set from the Jump Box will do just fine fro my other toons. I am also lazy to level up my other toons too just to wear the set, so it might take some time before I decided to do that when I am bored with nothing much better to do.

I had always try to plan for a lot of things to do so that it will keep me busy, that is also the same in real life so I will not find that life is boring. I still haven't finish my second set of farming toons till now and I still got the third set to work with, I also got to level 3 more toons from my Phoenix Project for their Mond Entry Quest so my main might got to wait for a while before I start leveling him. I will try my best to get it done before Halloween so that I can try out my new set on the Boss, and I will be very grateful of Zed for doing so as I am a lazy person like Midas and Avatar which prefer to stay at same level for long time if there is really no need for leveling.

Decided to give my two remaining Level 190 Jump Box to Avatar as I know he will be lazy to farm for high level set, instead of waiting for another 10 years without any progress I might as well help him get the Level 170 set which should be good enough for him so that he can join the fun of killing Event Boss as soon as possible. As I had known him very well, I also spoon feed him with all the upgrade stone he will need and some jewel which I had left over to help him complete his set early.

Manage to complete the Farming Toon before the event end, decided to transfer the stuffs to the third set of Farming Toon. This will be the last set and will remain permanent unless there are any need to change, I had also decided to transfer the stuffs from the Halloween and Anniversary Events toon to another new Phoenix Toon so that it will not affect the pet leveling toon on the same account.

I might consider transferring it back when I complete the Project Ferrari or when I need to activate the Witness Protection Program, but at the moment for the sake of farming for Pictorial Book stuffs I will just stick to the present arrangement. Might also transfer the stuffs from some Raid Boss Hunters to the new Phoenix Toon to increase efficiency, but that is still under consideration as I am quite satisfy with the current setup.

Note:

This post will conclude after the end of 4th of July Event. (This post had concluded with the end of 4th of July Event. No further update in the future.)

 

Raider of the Lost Ark:

Horizon:

Manage to find 6 Character Expansion cheap, decided to start another new project of making Raid Boss Hunters on all my 6 Accounts. Including some High Level Buff Toon, Pet Leveler and Farming Toon, it will require me to setup a total of 32 more toon.

The Buff Toon are already setup long time back and I will set them up after I get the Level 185 Jump Box from Loyalty Rewards, there is also another 185 Jump Box which is stuck on my main account due to not knowing that it is untradable.

I basically going to try out 3 different class of Royal Knight, Ex Ranger and Specialist with repeated set on 6 accounts. This is also to increase the guild members on Demon Slayer and Dragon Hunter Guild as I plan to use the extra SP from my Raid Boss Hunters to level the guilds to Level 50.

I also able to distribute all my Accessories to various toons to help clear up my storage and inventory space. It seems like a lot of things which I do out of my basic instinct seem to become clear as time pass by to reveal that all of them actually serve their purpose.

The difficult part is not the setup and distribution of stuffs, it is trying to think of a good name for all the characters. Not sure why Fawkes did not reset the names after 3 months period which does not allow me to reuse the same name of the characters which I had deleted before.

I guess that is part of their plan for Codeless Migration, and I got no choice but to delete all my old toon from previous expansion after they introduce a new patch which give a lot of good stuffs to Newbie to help with their leveling.

The only toons which I didn't touch and choose to remain are those which already have 16th Birthday Title, complete Affinity or already have a lot of SP after years of farming. They also have all the names which I like and it will be easier for my old friend to recognize me immediately if they come back.

Of course almost all of them are going to be Phoenix if possible and I can use up the Phoenix Tickets which I had found cheap recently and also use a few Level 120 Jump Box on a few high level toons. It will be another proof of my quality as an efficiency expert, with good time management for every project and making the best use of whatever resources available.

Aphelion:

Had been spending a lot of time organizing my stuffs, it kind of been a needed to do after I ran out of storage and inventory space on my main account. Been spending the whole morning for the past two days just sorting out stuffs and transferring them to other accounts, only manage to do my daily routine in the afternoon.

Finally mange to get all the stuffs organized, use up all the Chaos Ball, Moonstone and Token, transfer them to Merchant Toons. Manage to sell a lot of stuffs which I have not been using and make a few trillions over the process, a lot of players are glad that they manage to find the stuffs which they have been looking for months as the whole server seem dead with not much active players.

They are surprised that the amount of stuffs I had can support two major guild if they decide to migrate from official server to here. A lot of players try to add me on Discord after they saw my post about a bug that cause the items to remain in storage after withdrawing out. Not sure if any players make use of the glitches to exploit and dupe stuffs but I did notice a slight server roll back after I had reported about the issues.

Sesame Street:

Horizon:

Daily trolling as usual, my new trolling toon are able to use world chat yesterday night but I decided to postpone the trolling till this morning. Basically I was just busy farming on other server, and notice that Peanut had not been that active and seem to have stop all his nonsense. He seem to be hook on to Affinity and Pictorial Book recently and had issue trying to get most of the stuffs he need, if he had been nice to most players it might be easier for him.

P.S.:

I was told that Peanut is looking for me, but since it is my wife off day and we are shopping at supermarket I would not be able to response to him. I ask the friend who message me to see if there is anything urgent about it, but she also doesn't really know as nobody response to him too. I guess it should be either Pictorial Book stuffs or he just need attention.

I thought he had finally getting smarter but seem like he is back to talking to a wall and punching water again, guess there is no cure for stupidity. I am also busy farming Easter Egg and Pictorial Book stuffs on other server, so he just have to continue doing his stupid stuffs and try harder to get other players attention. 

He use to log a few of his toon to spy on my activity before, but I notice he had stop doing it recently. Guess he finally realise that he is just wasting his time, trying to do what he is bad at. Actually it is a very simple task as I usually only log 2 toon for attendance, if other see that one of it is not in town then I must be active. Guess with his limited IQ, it prove to be a real challenge for him.

Aphelion:

Manage to get about 1K of each type for Easter Egg, will need about 10K to complete the weekly quest. I thought I could go Easter Event Map to get the quest every 10 days as I remember it require about 2.5K as I had completed it within 3 days before, but now seem like it will take about 30 to 40 days for me to complete it. 

There seem to be a lot of new players joining recently due to the Easter Event, but I notice they didn't stay long and I think most likely they are disappointed after trying for some time. It is very hard for them to get help these days as most players are not active.

Guardian Of The Galaxy Vol 2:

 

Horizon:

I had try out the Mage class today, the first one is ok without much issue but the second one encounter problem at Tomb even though it is at 70%. As I only use it for trolling, so I decide to try out the Rogue instead. The Rogue still survive well even when Tomb is at 50%, I guess that is the reason why I do not like to play magic class because of their low defense.

The first Mage manage to reach Level 88 which prove that most class should be able to reach that in 2 hours, the second Mage only manage to reach Level 71 which prove that the condition of Tomb did affect a lot for some class. The Rogue only manage to reach Level 82, but I had try Ex Rogue on Pandora with better result so the condition of the Tomb doesn't really matters for those class with higher defense or evasion.

I will start working on the remaining Healer, Sorcerer and Titan when I am ready, at the moment I am trying to redo them with better name for trolling. The previous Knight class had been doing Tomb when it is 100% and 90%, so not much issue at all. But I did make a few mistake which kind of put them at a slight disadvantage.

I did not really follow the rebuff for Elizabeth at Level 60 as I am lazy to disrupt the progress in Temple of Forgetfulness. I went all the way to Level 70 to 75 to complete the full run, but the first one got stuck when it try to use skill on mobs which is near to wall and there are no other mobs nearby for the tab to work. I got to close the client and relog again which cause me to lose buff.

The second one also die at the fire pillar path before the Erebus Boss, and the same happen when I play the Mage and Rogue. I also make a serious mistake of using the first Knight to reset Tomb instead of using my main, this will also cause the lost of buff which give 200% Attack, Experience and Skill Point. The higher level buff only give 20% Attack which is clearly a major disadvantage as reference to my previous guide.

Mage and Titan are able to level fast in dungeon because of their debuff and AOE skill, but it must be careful in Tomb when there are Occultist. Actually for those hard core players, they can still continue to progress even after losing their buffs. But most Newbie prefer to take thing easy and refuse to play if they are unable to get buffs.

I had seen a lot of them just AFK waiting for buff, while I kind of use a different approach and only get buffs whenever they are available. Getting use to playing without buffs had help me develop a stronger immune against the constant dependent on buffs, and I really enjoy the lay back playing style of farming for stuffs while waiting for raid boss to spawn.

Taking It Easy:

 Horizon:

Never really play much these days, reduce gaming time from the initial 4 hours to 1 hour. Server seem dead without any events, but Moza seem to be trying to gain popularity by giving buffs and stuffs away for free. Not really sure what actually happen, but should not be as bad as Zed. Never see NJoy these days too, might have quit after getting much harassment from Peanut.

Manage to get my 10th horse to Level 56, just one more level to mount. Since they are having 500% XP and SP Event, I just focus on leveling my 2 remaining Elephants and 1 Polar Bear. Give the new Lemur XP Pet to Jassy as god had been trying very hard to get Deer during Christmas, give Hannah the Level 25 Jewels as I got no use for it.

Found out that the 185 Jump Box from Loyalty Rewards is not tradable, guess I will use it on my Ex Ranger Pet Leveler after I had done with Pet Leveling. Not sure how long it will be kept inside the storage, as I intend to lock it at Level 164 for farming gears. 

 

Aphelion:

Still doing my daily routine as usual, going around killing Bosses for drops. Notice that Night had been pretending to be a Newbie and trying to get more free stuffs from other players, not really sure what the point of that but I just choose to ignore it as it is not worth my time and effort to help such player. 

Christmas Event:

 Aphelion:

Christmas Event had started, they try to follow the Official Server this year. There is Ornament Decoration to Christmas Tree and it will drop Christmas Gifts and give Christmas Buffs, but due to the lack of players and the Christmas Quest that require Ornament and Santa Fragment I don't think it will work out well. They had put out Christmas Package this year and claimed that it is better than Black Friday, but as the players doesn't know what they are going to get from the package most still waiting for more information before they would buy it.

They had come up with Instant Level to Level 165 for new toon with Level 165 +30 Gears to help Newbie, but they did not consider the farming of Pictorial Book stuffs. So I think all my toons which are lock at different level for farming seem like a very good idea from the start, it is not that it is not possible to do so now but using Reborn would seem like a hassle as you need to reach max level for it.

The other game Lineage II Revolution which I had played before also hit rock bottom when they start Instant Level, it was still not so bad when they let Newbie jump direct to Level 80 or 90 but it become bad when they raise it to Level 260 and Level 320. A lot of Newbie are lost as they did not really farm Core from mobs and have no ideas on how to use them or how to progress with Daily Quest.

Horizon:

Christmas Event had also started, nothing much different from last year except Christmas Boss Mythrandor which is similar to Halloween Boss at Tairan Ice Lake which got chance to drop Reindeer Collar and Christmas Title. Overall Christmas Event still much better as compare to Halloween, as it give Drop Rate Buff and better rewards. Players will be divided between farming in Dark Tomb and farming for Snow Flake again like last year, but their main focus will still be Christmas Boss like what happen on this year Halloween.

They had start a new Ascension System and rework Alber Map with new Boss, Ascension System still cater to high level players as it just give better buff with the amount of experience over a short period of time, but Alber Map rework is a expectation from most players for years. They had a lot of plans for the future to make the game into higher resolution, but their progress still consider very slow as we have not see Codeless Migration and Pet Transfer until now.

It might be another empty promise as usual as they had already finding excuses on the delay on new update before they even started, but as long as they are still making improvement to the game there will always be a few loyal fans who ignore their short listings and start singing their praises for the small achievements. As long as they keep the players happy and not make any stupid mistakes they should continue to survive for another few more years, this seem to be a living nightmare for most private server as a few of them who try to copy the ideas didn't really end up well.

Season of Giving:

 Horizon:

Give away a lot of stuffs, guess Zed got the most. Gonad and Avatar realize the joy of giving after they know me, and they had been doing same since then. It had become a tradition on Horizon, and by paying it forward others might follow too. Manage to tag with Elvis to make fun of Rammy, guess both of us got a good sense of humor.

Aphelion:

A newbie name Shadow need help in leveling, give him some XP stuffs to help with it. A lot of other players also chip in some stuffs to help him too, it had been a great community spirit on both server. I got him the 185 Box and some Rune from Extreme Juno Affinity Shop to help him with his leveling, didn't know that the Newbie Quest for 185 Box stop working after they remove Four Realms Map. Found out that the Promo Code also doesn't seem to work, had inform Goofy about it and hope he will fix it soon.

Pet Peeve:

 Horizon:

They had completely stop those below Level 50 to use World Chat, think it is a lousy move to stop the spam bot on Osiris Server but it will greatly affect all players as it will prevent Newbie from getting help. This move is very similar to the previous incident when they try to remove Pet Pick Up to prevent AFK Farming using P2 Pet, it just show how lazy they are to check on the server and prefer a more lay back approach.

Aphelion:

Finally manage to get most of the pets back, as it will be easier for them to give me the Buff Pet Package I don't mind losing out on about 30% of the pets just to gain a Rudolph Pet. The only issues is that I had to level all the pets again and it will take a few days, but the server seem dead with the lack of management with only a few active players so I don't think any Newbie will really need my Newbie Package.

Phoenix:

Speedy heard about my plan to save up on Cash to get the Phoenix Pet, since he got a lot of Cash to spare he gift one to me. I was thinking that I would be able to mount it at Level 50 after Evolution, but I was told they change it to Level 100. I don't think I will live long enough to see my Phoenix Pet become mount, it is like I almost thought I had to marry Lilit at Floriam Cave to continue my legacy.

Manage to win the second round of Hide and Seek, they give out Event Reward Box like what the Official Server do. It had some nice stuffs, but because the Training Game Sage had something important to tend to in real life he only had 1 winners for each round. Not sure if it was the first event host by Game Sage, but it kind of remind me of the Hide and Seek on Official Server where I am the few lucky one to win the prize first. 

Phoenix Rebirth:

Been trolling a lot lately, below are some of the example:

Rogue going around PK

Crussty is looking for her

Spank her

Fifty Shades of Crussty 

NPC for Upgrade 

Same for Self Pleasure, Right Hand

Some call it Ex Sin

Original Sin will be Antonio and Angelina 

Halloween is coming 

I am already celebrating it

My wife wear mask before sleep

 

Phoenix:

 

Try out the new Phoenix Server today, don't really like it much. It is like a hybrid of Sanctuary and Aphelion, and after complete the Newbie Quest there are nothing much to be done other than Expedition. The stuffs they give also not impressive, and most of the good improvement from Aphelion are not implement.

 

It is like putting Aphelion Soul into Sanctuary Body, the look and feel is like Sanctuary while some of the concepts are from Aphelion. I get 1.5K of Cash for voting for Aphelion but only get 100 Cash for Phoenix, I get about 25 Cash per hour when I log on to Aphelion but I only get 5 Cash on Phoenix. There are Auto Ignition, Auto Pick Up, Premium Buffs, but there are no Auto Laca, Instant Moonstone, Offline Merchant.

It give +15 Set at different level instead of +20, and it only give Emblem and no Accessory. The only good thing is that there are Raid Boss at the 4 Basic Maps which drop Rare Accessory, so I might consider this as a replacement for Official Server. But I will have to make a few Raid Boss Hunters lock at different level to ensure they drop, it will be a repeated task as I already have the same setup on Official Server.

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

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.

Karma Kama:

 Horizon:

A series of unfortunate incidents, suddenly everybody lost their costume. It create a lot of unhappiness even though it only last for a short period of time, it had cause the lost of trust among players and seem like a lot of them decided to stop buying Fawkes Crystal. Monkey had been trying to buy stuffs from Item Mall for few days without luck, he had raise price from 50M to 60M and still not getting any response.

The launcher also stop working for Windows 7 and 8, they are going to lose a lot of players because of it. I was remove from their Discord Channel again, it had been so for the past 5 months. I decided not to join back as it is just a trick to fake that a lot of new players are joining them but it is in fact all the old players. Since I am still able to get the information on events from Light Bringer Guild Discord Channel, and there are nothing interesting to discuss with other player on their channel. 

They had make some changes on the recent patch, one of the interesting one is the Horse Buff is change from Attack and Defense to Hit Rate and Evasion. That goes to show how much they don't understand about the game, P1 Pet is suppose to be for low level newbie and there is P2 Pet for the Hit Rate and Evasion Buff. Level 10 Buff is still the same duration, but Level 11 Buff is increase to 30 mins and Level 12 Buff is increase to 60 mins.

There had been a trend on most server, players are trying to buy stuffs at half the market price or less and trying to sell stuffs at twice the market price or more. They always broadcast at Trade Channel thinking that they are offering a good deal but end up being ignore by most players, so they are having a very hard time finding the stuffs they need.

If they really need the stuffs they will have to buy it from Trading Agent at a higher price, while Trading Agent is suppose to be cheaper as it allow price comparison. So in the end most players are wasting their time setting up shop in Merchant Mode and end up selling not much stuffs as there are not much gold left on the server.

Had seen Spam Bot few week ago, but even them also think it is not really worth the effort as the server are dead. Now it is only down to the few regular players and the community had shrink to half or a quarter of what it use to be since the migration. At the rate it is going, we might not have another Anniversary Event next year.

Aphelion:

Manage to get 300K of Pre Release Token and the new patch is not ready, hopefully it will be able to trade for better stuffs as compare to the previous event. A lot of new players had joined, and had been helping them since there are not much to do. Most of them doesn't know about Premium Character benefit, Four Realms Quest, Extreme Juno Rune and P2 Pet, I try to help as much as I can and there are a lot of other players who are helpful.

Anniversary Event:

 Horizon:

Anniversary Event had started, they had 300% Drop Rate, 200% Gold Drop, 250% Upgrade and GM Buff. They promise more to come as the date get near, so we expect  800% Jewel and the collection of Ingredient for Candle and Cake. Hopefully they will have a Laca Ball for the Ingredient later after the Anniversary Event ended, not sure if they are able to surprise us with better event as there are still a lot of disappointment with the schedule of the event so far.

There had been a lot of delay and postpone for the event due to technical difficulty as they had claimed, but it seem like they don't really care much about the game from the tell tale sign so far until now. They did improve the game by fixing a few bug, but they care more about their own rest time more than ensuring the proper running of most events.

There seem to be someone using the same name as me, but he is using Hydros with a S behind as the name Hydro had been taken by my Knight Phoenix Toon. I also have another Rogue Phoenix Toon named Nitro, not sure if it was Avatar or Zed but imitation is the greatest compliment. Even my Merchant Shop Farm Mart also encounter copy right issue too last year, but they could not duplicate my personality of my toon or the price of my shop as it will cost them to lose a lot.

Had been playing with my Haste Toon Acid Burn since the start of the Anniversary Event, manage to get it from Level 76 to Level 87 but have not been able to get any Cool Down Helmet or Speed Boot so far. It was having much difficulty killing Goldie and had a tough time surviving getting mob, after upgraded the armor set to +30 it only improve the situation by a bit.

As I still need to use some potion to boost my attack and defense to survive getting mob or killing Raid Boss, I guess I will be playing more on my other two Raid Boss Hunter for Balrog and Skippy more in the future. The Raid Boss Hunter for Kami is not perfect as the highest level mob for Dratan is still about 5 Level different lower than the Raid Boss, maybe I will try to make another toon at Level 65 but I hope the Level 75 to Level 77 armor set which I also got it to +30 will be good for Temple of Forgetfulness.

Manage to upgrade the weapon for most of my farming toon to make it more over power, the only thing left for me to upgrade will be the Level 95 to Level 97 armor set which I might be using it for Egeha Raid Boss Hunter. Have to fuse some Element Jewel to the Level 69, 149 and 157 Weapon which I got it to +30, hopefully I will  be able to get some Element Jewel before the Jewel Event start. 

Aphelion:

Cheeh had join the server recently, I had give him the Newbie Package. As he had already play for few days, a lot of stuff which I give him will not help much. Been taking it easy and start farming for my Pictorial Book stuffs again, as the Tomb one really took long time I decided to do the Travia Valley one instead. The Travia Valley one will also take long time but at least it stack and would not take up inventory space, each Chapter took me about few days and I expect to complete it by few weeks.

They had start a New Season for Battle Pass, I had not explore much about it as I only know they give New Electric Blue and Fire Red Costume. As I only manage to complete it few times and reset it during Halloween Event when the Pumpkin give a lot of Battle Pass Booster, I guess I will have to wait for the next Halloween Event before I can explore it further.

Brave Heart:

 Horizon:

Server had been very quiet for the past week, guess Valentine Event is not as interesting as the year end event. There had been more and more argument about the Market Price for stuffs, guess most players doesn't understand the concept of what go around come around. Most of them still expect other to sell them stuffs at cheap price and even expect other to buy their stuffs at expensive price.

A lot of players got not much patient to play this game, they expect to get stuffs they need instantly when they ask for it in chat. They also expect other to buy their stuffs within few mins when they offer to sell them in chat. Most of them doesn't even have the patient to slowly farm for stuffs or do quest, they just want to level fast and get all the stuffs they need whenever they need it.

Give Avatar all the remaining Elemental Jewel since I would not need it after I use the 185 Jump Box, I just keep the stuffs require for my Cleric to get to Level 150 for Holy Bless Skill. I am playing with my Raid Boss Hunter for Balrog and Skippy mostly during event and farm for Pictorial Book stuffs when there is Drop Event.

Aphelion:

Peacock Wing had been Nerf, now it give about 200% Pet Exp instead of 600%. The Online Time Point Shop also cost 25K for Pet Collar Box instead of 6.5K, Item Drop Booster and Gold Booster price at Cash NPC also increase back to 5M from 3.5M. Seem to have a lot of Crash and Disconnection when moving around town or trying to access NPC. Guess the Offline Merchant Mode had increase the load on the server as a lot of players just setup shop for Online Time Token and Cash Rewards instead of actually selling stuffs.

I had skip most shop which have only random numbers or alphabet or offline as their shop name, the Daily Reward on the Website was also removed. But the Vote for Cash had reduce from 8 hours to 6 hours, so still be able to get enough Cash to buy the stuffs we need. Some change are good while some change are bad, I hope it will still change for the better in the future so that more players can actually enjoy the game.

Joining this server is a lucky choice, I can see a lot of improvement as compare to the official server. It is like the admin had played the official server and doesn't really like some of the stuffs and decided to create a more perfect version of it, but it could have given more freedom to the players instead of forcing them to level with just quest in the Four Realms. It should also not set a level limit for map or dungeon, players should be able to choose the path for leveling as they like.

Help Best Start Ever and Byloustyle FRA from France with the Boss in Four Realms for the Quest, give them the Newbie Package which I was planning to give Desispero. Guess Desispero got all the help he need from other players and already reach Level 190 before I had the chance to give him the Newbie Package. But if he ever need anything to help with his leveling I will try my best to give him what he need.

Dagger Dancer had been trying to make his toon stronger, I had give him 5K of Animal Heart and Garnet Paragon Shard to help him get the Rune of Destruction for Hit Rate. He told me he already had 2 Gift of Universe and in progress of getting other Rune from Extreme Juno. He had join Xannon Guild and he should be able to help other Newbie now, the community will grow bigger as more players are willing to help each other.

Pet Peeve:

 Horizon:

The drop rate is back to normal with recent patch, the bug that doesn't allow us to sell stuff to NPC is also fixed. Been leveling pet for the past one week since the drop rate is bad, and also back track some quest for my Level 185 Royal Knight since I got nothing better to do.

I start with the Back Pack Quest first, then go on to the Veteran Quest. Both Quest are easy without any issue as I had already did it with my Specialist before the migration. I move on to the Entry Quest for Mondshine, Lab and Dark Tomb, Mondshine Entry Quest is quite straight forward with killing some mobs in Ebony Mine, Misty Crayon and Floriam Cave.

Lab Entry Quest is also easy with killing some mobs in Tairan, but the Dark Tomb Entry Quest is a bit tough with killing some Boss in Lab. I had manage to kill all the Boss on the first level, but I had heard a lot about the Boss getting tough at the Basement. I also got a few Quest to kill Elemental Boss, but I will have to get some help with that when I find the time.

Leveling pet at Tairan is fast with Kanuta and Tarvox, but as they are blue they don't drop any stuff. It would be better to make a Level 164 toon for pet leveling where I could farm some stuff while I level pet. But my other option of using my Level 53 Assassin and Level 33 Royal Knight to level pet while farming for stuff and hunting Raid Boss seem to be better for me.

Aphelion:

Been giving out a lot of Newbie Package and I am running low on the stuffs. I give 5 Newbie Package to Blue Rum since he is the Guild Leader for Java, as there are too many of them and I doesn't really have much time to level the Buff Pets for them I just give them the collars and let them do it on their own.

Music had decided to join the server, I give him the same Newbie Package which I give everybody else. It will be better for him to stay here than to harass other player on other server and keep spamming the chat. I had help him to kill some Boss in Four Realm for the Leveling Quest, he had manage to get to Level 194 and want to do some damage test.

It doesn't really end well for him as he keep missing due to low hit rate and only hit about 9K to 10K once in a while. I am able to one hit him with 71K damage as his status is not max out and he didn't really bother to improve his gears. As I had more than 300K of HP, it will take him a few minutes to kill me even though my HP reduce to below 50K due to the unequip gear bug when switching channel.

 There is another Italian Guy name Thunder Storm which ask for my help, I give him Newbie Package. He later ask for my help to complete the Quests in Four Realm, but I can't help him with the Collection Quest as the item are not tradable. He kind of just give up and never see him log on much after that.

Legolas also decided to join the server, I guide him on updating the Direct X files as he is having issue with Black Screen when he try to load the game. I also give him the Newbie Package when he finally able to log on when the other server is having maintenance. I told him that if he need any help with Four Realm Quest he can ask me or Sushi, he just level until Level 160 and go back to the other server when the maintenance is over. Not sure if he is planning to just play this server whenever the other server is down for maintenance, but I felt it will be much better for him here as he is a very hardworking farmer.

 Recently saw another player named God Slayer join the server, not sure if he is the same Blood Mage who had not been active for long time on other server. I will try to help him by giving him whatever I had left for Newbie Package, and I will try to farm for more stuffs to replenish all the stock for the Newbie Package.

 

This the Season to be Jolly:

 Horizon:

 Nothing much had happen as there are no event, they even postpone the maintenance for a week just to enjoy the holiday. Music had been spamming the chat claiming that he was ban for no reason, but most player knew that he was using bot. He had been saying some player are duping item, but until now there are no solid evidence to proof it.

Instead of complaining about the game everyday, he could have do a fresh start and get over it. Why just sit there and do nothing about it when you can try to improve on the situation, unless you doesn't really have the knowledge and experience to achieve what you use to have or even better surpass it.

 

Aphelion:

Penkichan had been trying to get Rune of Agility, I give him 10K of Animal Heart, 2K of Maze Token and 10 Extreme Juno Essence which should be enough for two. The next day he was trying to get Shiva Pet, I give him two Collar, 1 Premium Bless and 50 Bless and Curse Book. He should be able to farm a lot of stuffs with the Pet AOE Skill.

 

 Cringee had decided to try it out after seeing my post on Discord. He was having a hard time finding Lilit at Floriam Cave and nobody bother to help him, I switch toon to recall him to the location. I didn't know he was from Horizon as he never really speak much on both In Game or on Discord, after he message me on Discord I met him in Town and give him the same Newbie Package to help him enjoy the game better.

I had help him with the Four Realms Quest and he manage to level to Level 185 in few hours, I give him Godly Weapon, Phoenix Wing, Peacock Wing, 3 Gift of Star, 3 Gift of Nebula, Rune of Fire, Reconstruction and Bravery. All these stuffs will help him in Pet Leveling and Boss Killing, he should be doing fine for the rest of the journey. 

I give him the Christmas Title which I got from Santa Boss and give him 15K Token for the 185 and 200 Title, the Christmas Title is better but only last for 30 Days but the 185 and 200 Title will last forever. I had got the 185 and 200 Title for six of my 185 toon, just need to get more Token for the same Title for another two more. It was mainly because the other Title from the 185 Box also expired after 30 Days, and two other toon is using the Zoo Keeper Title for Pet Leveling.

Laca Ball:

 Horizon:

 

Mooncake Event had ended, they had a new Laca Ball for the left over ingredient. The rewards for the Laca Ball are better than the Mooncake itself, foresee most player will rather keep the ingredient for Laca Ball instead of trade for Mooncake. They had Legendary Iris for Lotus Seed, Legendary Skill Pill for Egg York and Platinum Pet Pill for Flour. Other rewards are Pet Fairy 7D, Blessed Iris, Resurrection Scroll and Large Chocolate.

Other than that they also had Laca Ball for Black Token, rewards are Griffin Birdie, Safe Socket Scroll, Mid Grade Reformer, Platinum Adrenaline and Heaven Stone Grade 2. At least they didn't Nerf the the drop rate this time, and a lot of players are happy with the Laca Ball rewards. 

 

P.S.:

They had start the Advert Laca Ball with new patch, Element of Iris are getting rewards like Affinity Booster, Candle x 3, Affinity Booster Seed x 3, Party Attack Speed and Party Attack Power. Cracked Spear, Zombie Nail, Forgotten Talisman, Zombie Skin are getting rewards like Theos Chest, Darkness Chest, Darkness Key, Party Attack Speed and Party Attack Power.

 

Mob are dropping White Token now, and it had more choice of rewards like Polar Bear, Warehouse Storage Card,  Level 15 Jewel, Platinum Rune of Protection and Charm of Sio. Or you can choose the second tab of Safe Socket Scroll, Legendary Scroll, Jewel Protection Scroll x 3, Sublime Scroll and Jewel Fusion Scroll x 5 or the third tab of Advance Grade Reformer x 5, Mid Grade Reformer x 5, Socket Reset Card x 2, Chaos Jewel Fusion Scroll x 3 and Golden Magnifying Glass x 3.

Kind of disappointed with the Advert Laca Ball as the rewards are cater more for the higher level, but the White Token is good with wide variety of choices for the rewards which you prefer more. Think more players will choose the first option for the White Token as the value of the item are worth more.

Aphelion:

Manage to get the Phoenix Wing for Healer and Night Shadow, also manage to get a lot of Troll Mucus and Animal Heart. The Boss Killer doesn't really work that well as expected, it kill slow and will die once in a while. But the Pet Leveler are working very well, manage to level 26 horse to Level 130 in few days.

Ghost contact me on Discord, he need some help and wan to trade his stuffs from Horizon to stuffs in Aphelion. As I do not wish to see him quit Horizon Server, I give him the same Newbie Package which I give other. He already have a Level 200 Specialist name Death God, now he is trying out new Ex Rogue name kane.

He doesn't have much patient and keep asking if I got Premium Battle Pass or Level 200 Sorcerer PVE Gear. Not sure what other had told him but he had clearly overestimated my ability, I am only doing Solo and does not have so much resources like those big guild. If he really need that much help, he should have join those big guild, I am only able to help Newbie till they reach Level 165 or 185.

Batman Vs Superman Dawn of Justice:

 

 

Aphelion:

It is the Final Count Down, just a few days before the Official Game is back. I decided to start selling my stuffs cheap, maybe will be able to become a Multi Trillionaire in few days. There is a player named Lorena who keep claiming she is new and begging for free stuffs, but a lot of players start to realize it is a Cry Wolf Story after some time. A lot of players had already give her a lots of stuffs but she claim she doesn't remember it, so now a lot of players start to ignore her completely.

It kind of remind me of my Pinoy 3rd Engineer, always Happy Go Lucky and spending all his money. I had help him get $50 by giving him a receipt for buying DVDs for Xmas, but he spend it away on girl on the next call in Mexico. He later told me that he saw a very nice camera and wanted to buy it before he went home, but I am not going to lend him the money for it as I know I will never get it back. I told him that he should not have expectation if he is unable to afford it, but my words will just blown away by the wind.

It is like I had an apple and I always give it to a friend, then one day I feel that somebody else need it more than him. But he will keep thinking that the apple actually belong to him, he will never appreciate the kindness and will start to turn against me the moment I stop giving him the apple. They got a lot of pride in them, if you praise them they will be very nice toward you. But the moment you start to tell them about their mistakes, they will become your worst enemy.

This game is already easy, you can get all the stuffs you need just by doing quest. Even for other games you will still be able to survive if you work hard and farm stuffs to sell, so doesn't matter whether which game you play you will never go far if you just sit around and beg for free stuffs. For that matters I had decided to write a simple guide for newbie to follow so that they can enjoy the game, it might be a bit different from the official guide on Discord as you doesn't really get to enjoy much of what the game got to offer.

When you start the game you will already get a good amount of gold of about 5M, you also get a newbie Title which give good boost and a Newbie Box with +20 Gears and three good accessory. There are also some potions and boosters which will help you along the way but I prefer to save it for later. You go to the Quest Manager to accept the Newbie Quests which will give you all the stuffs you need all the way until Level 165.

The first quest you can complete is to kill Fox and Sasquatch, I will recommend to wait until you are Level 31 and get the next +20 Gear Set before you try to kill the Level 185 Newbie Hunter at the center of the map at Burbank Mill. Although I am able to do it at Level 16 with Level 5 Ignition, but it I did fail when I try it at Level 7 as I am unable to cause much damage.

 

After completing the first quest, you will get a Premium Character Package, as it only last for 30 days I would recommend to use it when you are ready to do Tomb. Usually I would prefer to farm for some Pictorial Book stuffs, will hunt in Juno until Level 20 and go to Dratan until Level 31. I will do Merac until Level 53 and then go to Dratan again until Level 57, you will get another +20 Set at Level 42. 

 

Getting a P2 Pet with 70K Status will be a good choice, if not any other pets with 7K or 5K Status would be good enough too. You can get Protection and Counter Strike Target Arrow from Pet Merchant to let the Pet AI help with combat, can consider Item Search too if you want it to pick up stuffs.

After getting the next +20 Set at Level 57, you can consider doing Temple of Forgetfulness to Level Pet and SP Farm. The next map to do is Egeha when you reach Level 70, it will be good to use some booster to farm gold from Level 88 Cursed Weaver and you will get your +20 Set at Level 87. You can now consider using the Premium Character Package and do Tomb to complete your next quest.

Set Auto Pick Up to Other as those weapon and armor drops can't sell for gold at NPC, it will pick up key and token but you will still have to pick up some other stuffs like Moonstone Box, Heaven Stone or those really good stuffs from God Hand. You can level up to Level 110 at the Tomb, the next recommendation to Level 145 will be Floriam Cave over Trival Crayon as you can complete the next quest and farm gold from Lilit. You will get your +20 Set at Level 121, don't have to worry about the Durability of the Gears as it doesn't really affect in this game. You can use Golden Magnifying Glass to get the Hidden Seals which will help a bit.

You will be able to use the Exp Tonic with Estella to gain about 12 Levels, but the Tonic will only work from Level 50 to Level 150. There is a better Tonic which work from Level 150 to Level 160, you can choose to use  it for easy leveling or just enjoy the process of farming for more stuffs. With Platinum Blessed Iris and Exp Booster it will not take much time to level up, using the Tonic will level up within few minutes but killing mobs will only take about 2 days.

From Level 145 onward you can choose between Tairan and Misty Crayon, there is a quest to complete at Tairan at the Middle of the map but you need to get your +20 Set at Level 157 before you can survive Middle Tairan. Chaser at Misty Crayon will be easier and faster as compare to Seeker and Rawhead at Tairan, just complete the quest to get the Level 165 Set and spend the rest of the time on Misty Crayon until you reach Level 165.

Now you get the Level 165 Set, you just have to upgrade it to +16 using Rune and Protection and +28 using Master Stone. You can get some Jewel to meld on to it for more boost, but I would recommend getting a Phoenix Ticket which is cheaper and more efficient. You can farm for AOE Skill Book with Skill Master at Tomb, they will drop Legendary Scroll which give 7 Sockets and also +10 Status Point. You can max out the Status Point to 2.5K, you can also start killing Level 200 Raid Boss in Juno and Dratan.
