Promo Characters

Mini updates since last time!

Francois, the reluctant leader of the pack.

*Family leveled up, as well as other account.  \(^.^)/

*Got back on Farming and now doing some Cooking here and there.  Weeding is almost at 1,000!

*Received new recipe to work on, but progress is currently halted due to Impervium and Enhancement Boosters being removed from Cash Shop; can't upgrade materials and don't want to pay highway robbery prices at the moment from MM.

*Did however, as a fun side project, craft an Ogre Sword.  I also have an Ogre Polearm recipe from before transfer to work on.  Ogre and Werewolf recipes are rare drops and nobody sells them or the Seals.  :<

*Several Durant hunts later, got enough Head of Mantis for second Bloody Rose, but still short on Silk to get Black Rose to combine in order to make Elite Black Rose.  (Thank you very much for help with the farming!)  Moon Pieces are being elusive and still need more Soft Cotton Yarn and Peace Insignia.

Today's featured ramblings: Promo Characters!

T3 issued a Valeria Vendetta package for a week.  My guess is if it sells well, they will extend it another week.

So far Sniper Bernelli, Pioneer Grandies, and Valeria Vendetta have been reissued, they were within the first four to come out in Lyndon Box (Cherlyn came out before Vendetta), so it looks like Cherlyn and Spy Olivia may be next reissues.  I can't remember if Spy Olivia already came out on a second round, if she did, then I missed chance to get her.  (Someone inform me please?)

My expectation (Ferret Forecast!) is that Rachel Sheffield will come out next with Spy Olivia as the other roulette.  (Rachel is overdue; five promos after her already came out.)  Or Spy could come as a package with a dagger (I don't think she has a costume).

A quick refresher on the promos that have been issued over the past year:

From March 2013 to August 2013, one Promo character came out per month for two weeks each.  Pioneer Grandies swung her greatsword in March (and returned to slash some more in December).  Sniper Bernelli shot enemies in April (and hunted turkeys in October).  Cherlyn's golem bashed things in May.  Valeria Vendetta held a grudge in June (and reminded us she was still angry this January).  Spy Olivia herald her current self in July.  And Friede wrapped up the summer by giving us a concert in August.

The promos went on strike in September.  Rose Spirit was a cash cow for entire month of October, followed by a month of chibi Montoro in November.  Rosa Blanca graced us with her presence nearly all of December with Mercenary Claude and Snowflake Cherlyn joining to make things merry.  Then Selene frosted us in January for two weeks...

Rachel Sheffield, Lightning Gracielo, Illusion, and the recent Levin (chibi Montoro's guardian who looks rather like a Chinese comic character) are left.  T3 should pace itself or it's going to run out of promo characters to sell (but what do I care, I don't play their gamble boxes nor am I their sales department).  Rachel!February, L.Gracielo!March, Illusion!April, and Levin!May.  Hopefully with reissues of last year's promo characters, so that those like myself can get them too.  :p

(There's a Fuego image floating around and I'm not sure if he's just a fan made character, but he looks awesome!  There was some image I saw of girl that's Pharrel's daughter [she was standing between Beatrice and Pharrel]?  Maybe another fan made, but sounds cool.  The game needs more recruitable characters!  T.T)

Need help filling this gap: Mercenary Claude came out 12/18/13, but he was a Lucky Shop so I couldn't find the end date (no Event page), anyone able to help with the info?  Thanks in advance!

Let's not forget the Playtime Event Promo Characters!  The PTEs usually run about three and a half weeks.  Charismatic Rascel arrived on the scene in February asking us to spend 100 hours (600 points) to obtain him.  Then Soso's little sister Sorang asked for double the points to make up for lost time with her sis at 200 hours (1200 points) in April.  Not to be outdone, Cadet Adriana asked for the same in May.

The promo who played hard to get was Cadet Elisa in mid-May through mid-June when she asked us to do 500 missions at the Bounty Hunter (I had nightmares and swore off going to BH for weeks).  /o_o\

Liung gave us a two month break until July before asking for a raise to get him at 250 hours (1500 points).  Lhote tried to be considerate too and gave us four months but he also asked to be paid 267 hours (1600 points) to join our family mid-way December.  Countless hours and one PSU later... they are all obtained and leveled to Master.  What a bunch of mercenaries, I tell ya!

Next post... something about Costume Sets.  When will I post?  Check back often to find out.  :o

Side Note: Looking to collect Adelina the Pirate and Soho the Fighter for other account.  Maybe they will come out as PTE event.  (Although ATP came out as a package, hadn't considered collecting at the time and missed out on it).
