Not too much news to share.  Kielce Back Alley Poor favor rate is over 7000.  :o  Though I don't have the Bristia Soldier Boxes to test if it makes a difference since last time.  Should probably just wait until I hit 8000 favor rate or 200 Boxes (could be awhile, laugh).

I recently treated myself to a Ion costume set.  :x  I haven't bought anything in ages and the set was much cheaper than what it was when it first came out.  My vis is primary used for materials for crafting and what not and few roulettes (like the last few floors of Clock Tower).

I really miss the Quinzel costume boxes from G1.  At least back then non cash players had more chances of either getting costumes or costumes from opening boxes.  Now it feels like this Lucky Shop put a gate and only the cash players are really getting the costumes and selling them for horrendous prices.  With the economy being the way it is, had to prioritize what vis is spent on.  (It's pretty desperate when you have to start NPC'ing drops from maps for vis...)

Which makes me sad because costumes were the primary reason I starting played the game.  Some people were in it for the PVP or super raids.  Raiding is fine.  I'm not a PVPer.  Everyone can enjoy what they like about the game.  But since costumes aren't readily available and affordable... well... the game starts to have less and less draw for me.  :<

I was able to get a few costumes in the beginning from a friend who had extras and I bought the corresponding Hair.  I stopped following what costumes came out after... Raven's Butler costume.  I think there's also Marie Summer, Tora Assassin, Grandies Summer, and Beatrice Summer sets that came with character card and stance book (or whatever).  I used to rely on Ashardalon's blog for Cash Shop stuff that came out, but I think he's given up on posting those for T3.

Some costume screenies.  Because it makes me happy.  T.T  (Then why am I crying?)

 I really like Grandie's costume.  ^.^

 Veronif looks like Velma from Scooby-Doo.

Ralph always looked rather hunchbacked to me in that costume.

Ion looks so much better in this than his original.  I like that little wing on his left shoulder.

The pants could be longer though and it looks like he's not wearing socks.

Vincent looks less creepy in this costume, though the pants look like ballerina tights.

 Posing with friend to compare Ion's outfits.

Costumes I don't have:
*Asoka Sellarsarse Bariante Hair & Costume
*Grandies Summer Hair & Costume
*Lionel Indigo 9 Hair & Costume
*Female Fighter Wedding Hair & Costume
*Mia Rainism Hair & Costume

And whatever else I missed.  >_>
