Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

There's FrankenFerret™ and now there's HunterFerret™.  Not sure which one is the nice one, both... kill things.  ^.^;

Ran around with my triple wizard team.  Casandria was armorless yet she didn't die at all.  That was rather shocking.

We have four days left with G1.  Already there are maps and channels that are broken, it's really too bad (and painful to be in).

I have accumulated Christmas Coins, but according to the forum, there are problems, so I'll wait until tonight's maintenance.

Oh, the ticket I submitted on Saturday was sort of fixed on Wednesday but then I had to get it more fixed.  Today it was cleared.  Phew!

Rambling more than usual cause very sleepy now.  Had to deal with shoveling snow two days in a row, unpleasant.

See you all after our last maintenance as Swordlings!

New Species of Fish Discovered!

Out of the five Clan Raids today, we ranked #1 on four of them (one of them was a tie).  One more Sunday to go!  Hope we also attempt Red Sunset.  We're on the ranking as #3.

Tried out the Human pistol at Mufasar today.  Both times received good loot! \(^.^)/

Vesped my alt (under SG) a bit higher today.  It took ten minutes to vesp two Lv 1 characters to Vet.  I used Laurent, Claudia, and Renton (Viki) and each one took fifteen seconds.  Renton was promoted to Master today!

Afterwards, I helped vesp two families up a bit (no SG), using Laurent, Claudia, and Watson (he made use of the UD dagger!) and it took ten seconds per vesp.  I consider this pretty good, because I think I use fairly minimum buffs.  AM Boost, Pink loli, Leadership Lv11, Flare Lv12, Principal Lv12, and Lv11 Stra/Org/Logi.  I don't use any wings and I don't know what else other people use.  :o

Was asked how I could stand vesping "during FrankenFerret™ mode".

Well... while it may appear as though I enjoy vesping, I actually do not...

Things that help pass the time and not think of it as a daunting task:
* Listening to music and singing along
* Having someone to chat with
* Thinking about the end result, that vesping will help family character level up and also the alt (SG)
* Also had two special projects during the event and it was very, very worth the time and effort spent vesping

It also helps that it only takes ten seconds per vesp.  Back in the old days it used to take me thirty seconds!  I wouldn't have done three hours straight (with mini little ferret's room breaks, of course) with that kind of timing!  D:

Had crazy occurrence today (once in a blue moon!), which would probably not repeat itself again.

Sleepy Ferret Sleepy

Attended Wraith.  Had to deal with a lot of Parasites and King Vordoris  This guy is creepy!

First time seeing a Lust up close, usually I'm shooting at them, but this time the team was out cold on the floor.

Also went to Medusa after crashing eight times just trying to get into Castilla Garrison.  I can only hope that the new host and the new server would be crash free.  :\  Medusa did not show up with her snakey hair.

Did CM five times.  One of the teams was a bit difficult to use, Caly/Raven/Scout, but eventually I'll get better at using them with less trouble.  So much skilling.  I'm used to spacebaring (without use of pink loli) and getting the job done.  ^.^;

Unexpected Luck

:o

This morning I upgraded something to +7.  I thought I was pushing my luck, since yesterday I already got two things to +6 and +7.

Next, I crafted something [important] that came out 3S.  *_*  This is the second time in my entire Sword2 career that I've crafted something 3S.  It was probably about the same time last year that my ELB Scout came out 3S.  *_*  I've had a handful come out 1S or 2S, but for something to come out 3S is like... a miracle!!!  Now to put Jewels in it...  ^.^;

Then tonight I threw twelve chips on something that I'd been throwing a few chips on here and there.  It came out pretty nice, no racial mods, but 40% Atk and 30% Atk Spd, which I think is the max stats you can get?  So I consider this lucky too!

:o

Went and tried my luck at solo'ing Prison for MQs, but as I expected, only got four.  :p

Every Night I'm Talking to the Moon

Tonight's major adventure was solo'ing the first room and middle hallway of second room of Prison because... I felt like farming for MQs.  I got a nice amount and consider this lucky, because I have had occasions where I got none at all!  Shooting for 150 MQs by the end of the month.  :o

Go, go, Ferret, go!  (Haha, pep talking myself!)

One more to go!

Crafted the Chess Greatsword which came out with 2S and fairly decent attack and attack speed.  Also crafted the Serpent Shotgun with +5 1S, less work in those two areas thanks to Blue Crane.  :D

Finished three more expert stances and started on the next three.  Not bad for a week.  Next week will be back to leveling pre-Experts.

I'm excited that I've made progress.  I just might finish before the end of the year.

Six more characters to expert.
Twelve more expert stances.
One more Serpent weapon (javelin).

Plushie Avalanche

Wow, six out of twenty four expert stances have been finished!  That's 25% done already!

Lydia (Auch-F) Flintlock, Raymond (Reb-M) Tronada Cruz, Raul (M'Boma) Darkness, Hector (Auch-M) Flintlock, Arcadia (Reb-F) Tronada Cruz, and Alexia (Romina) Equites.

Currently working on Alexia Flintlock, Raymond Equites, and Geoffrey (Tiburon) Bloody Feast.

It was hilarious watching Geoff skilling Bloody Feast skills on Thora because the main-gauches are so tiny compared to sabres.  I'm kind of glad I made that Serpent Main-Gauche, at least I could pair it with the Trump MG, otherwise I don't have any other MGs.

I like killing Thora for Treasure Boxes.  Something about clicking on Treasure Boxes makes me happy.  ;D  Also, twice today, a Treasure Box spawned next to my team and I clicked on them.  One was a Bellem Box with a unmodded ice bracelet and the other was a Lv84 Knight of the Templar armor.  :D  Ferret is easily amused.  :D

The server timer is still messed up.  It ate up 23 hours of my MEP and my one day Drop Manual.  :\  Ferret is not pleased.  Bounty Hunter is still messed up too.

/random Earlier this year Elsie and I were talking about if characters were made into plushies what we would want to see.  I said Elsie should have Asoka plushie and Vanty should have a Soso plushie.  I said I'd want a Male Musk plushie.  XD  Someone said they wanted a ferret plushie and lock it up...  :o

Where the Wild Things Are

Today was one of the very rare days that I was able to participate in something in the Cortes area.  Not only did we knock out all three Wraiths (Red, Black, and Blue), we also beat up Elminor twice, and went after Jorgamund.  O_o;  This was my third or four time at Wraith.  It was a very busy night...  It felt like the first time the clan did ToC back to back three times in succession.  Collapsed on the floor.  ^.^;

Creepy guy

Our kiter hard at work!

Elminor says, "Catch me if you can!"

 

Meeting grandpère Jargamund

Up close and personal

 Not so dark anymore!

After a short break, attempted to do BH Occulta only to find that I couldn't do it even though I hadn't done it yet for the day.  For some reason BH Sedecram was okay.  Circus was not available either.  :\

Also attempted to go to Medusa today, but got DC'd several times, the client froze and crashed completely.  This never happened before...  :\

A Visit to Illier

I went on two quick visits to Illier, once before Orpesia's FF buff and again after FF buff to take a quick stock of Ferra2.0's non-Cash Shop items.  There aren't too many things, but I do have a fair amount of Level 100 and Veteran chips, a Le Scarce, and two symbols (Aqua/Gemi) which I would hate to lose, as well as a large amount of vis... at one point Ferra2.0 had more vis than Ferra1.0 it was shameful.

Who should I end up standing next to but Eollica-sama!  :D

Oliver, Alessandra, & Emily

[Named after Rozaaz-kun, Eo-sama, & ...?

There's a Kerrigan after Fox-san in Quarters]

On the positive note of this "merger", I'll be able to see my Illier friends Eo-sama, Roz-kun, and Mancinni-san in the same server.  I haven't visited them since early April.  >.<;

I wonder what this mega server will be like...  Will it fit us all?!  New friends, new alliances, new nemesis!  If it ends up being Baron I'm going to die.  >.>;  I've never done any PVP, nor do I plan to.

Also got questions like:
What will the server time be?
Will we have to download new client for the game?
What version will it be on?  (Their webpage shows Grandice!)
What happens to Alliance War points?

I also want to know how we confirm that the new host received our info?
Hopefully they'll send us an email notification...

I had a few other thoughts/questions, but I'm hit with a wave of sleepiness.
Time to tuck myself in.  zzz...

New Pet Addition to Family

Normally I don't bother to post links to forum topics, but this is big news about Sword2 transfer.  Don't want to share thoughts at the moment.

I'd rather share my excitement about...

Red Tiger Pet

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

His name is Watson.

Watson joins the Ferragamo Family's Animals Club!  \(^.^)/

Ferret will have happy dream tonight. :D

On that note... zzzzz!

Deepsleep Skill

I kinda feel like I'm going to fall into deep sleep!  Started on final project and feel like I've been running a marathon.

Had a rough day at work and the weather, while my area was blessed with not being in the path of Hurricane Sandy, we got freezing weather and I had to drive through a few patches of sleet to get to work.  :x

Was gifted a 92e Baron dagger to add to my collection.
This totally made my day.  \(^.^)/  Thank you!

@.@ Ferret to bed.

HBF!

Squirrel's Secret Hideout

I managed to get the majority of the inventories cleaned out, but I only managed to save about sixty spaces.  I even moved out all the old costumes and cleaned some of the less important recipes.  Have to start putting back costumes on toons, perhaps a weekend project.

I don't have Magic Leather Gloves recipe and some of the Metal Artisan's and Magic.  No Artisan's or Magic Earrings.  Basically, I would like to finish a set of Crafted Necklaces (I'm short a Cut Ice Necklace), a set of Artisan's, and a set of Magic.  Yes, I'm a slow, slow ferret, eating other people's dust when it comes to accessories.  :<

Got kidnapped for a LG run last minute.  Don't know why I picked a different number for FC than the one I usually pick, I could have won the weapon, but instead I lost.

Sleepy and tired Ferret.  z.z

Guardian Angel

Borrowed proper vesping weapons, aka all three of them were UD equipped.  Time ranged about 10 to 15 seconds.  I was in so much shock.  "FrankenFerret™ Returns" as someone called it.  XD  (I mean, really, ten minutes for two expert levels?  That's crazy!)

Was really thrilled to find a cheap Capitaine Costume for Etienne.  Now I just need Gloriosa to get reissued and that Serpent Plate.

He looks so studious!  <3

 Exam is tomorrow!

I promised I would do my best!  p( '.' )q

Winter of Beginning

Bounty Hunter gave me an ELB recipe... why couldn't it be an ELN recipe?  I don't even own a single one of those.  (Don't get me started on how I almost got one, that would set me back up to being upset again.)

Started SG'ing again.  But wow, trying to vesp without UD weapons is like pulling teeth!

Post #250: The Sky's the Limit

Wow!  I made it to two hundred and fifty posts on this blog!  O.o!
I think this makes me a crazy blogger...

Silvia in her newly obtained Dark Buffalo costume!

MB Lionel posing the Jaspard pistol and Miquelet bayonet!

Tomorrow we find out what the new words are!  :o

Diamonds for Tears

More and more farming!  Holding off opening Alpha Boxes to see what kinds of changes will happen after tonight's maintenance.  Hopefully nothing too drastic.

UT gave a nice Crafted Necklace recipe.  :o

Silent Sorcerer

Not much to mention just plugging away at farming!  Mostly been away studying.  >.<

Not even shiny screencaps to post!

La vache qui rit

Ferret mad dashes to bed and leaves readers with this!

Moo~!

 To help clear your mind off the above...

The Wonderful Winged Wizards

Felicia has Mercurcio under her spell. :o
Casandria is too scared of Felicia. :x

Submersible Serenade

Finished M'Boma extended quests.  His expression is pretty hilarious.

Made soup!  Which is so much cheaper to make now!

Spent most of the day leveling Xenia (Lisa) and Omar (Najib) currently at Vet 7.

Attended Prison with awesome people!

Post #225: Robust Extravagance

Another good day without Domi smash at Mufasar.  ^.^v  A Crafted Necklace recipe dropped, I already have this one and have yet to craft the five other types... so... recipes are nice, but not great when I haven't ability to craft them.  :<

Other than that, started M'Boma extended quests.  Panfilo asks for the strangest things to make something to cheer up M'Boma.  I mean, gallbladders?  eww!

Ran into this fellow whilst searching for Jack O'Lantern on Fire Isle.

 Chunks of ice cubes!
