永遠花火

Haven't really been motivated or had too much to share or write about.
Not that it really matters if or when I post here, it's not like anyone reads this blog.

I read some old, old posts and four years ago I almost quit GE...
In June it will be six years for me...
I wonder if I will still be here that long...

Osiria (Empyreum Judith) joined the family two weeks ago.
Sirius was tongue tied while greeting her.

This trio looks so shiny.

I actually crafted this Artifact back in the middle of February.
I lack some materials and Essences for additional Artifacts.

Until next time, whenever that is...

#575: Defense Against Fields of Ice & Snow

Semi Celebratory post!  It's #575 and also four more months until June 19th, the four year anniversary of my playing this game!!!

*Recruited Sierra (posted on tracker), she's so cute floating on her broom!  :D

What a sweetie!

Some screencaps of twins.  ;3

Sabrinia and MOMO* look like they are sharing a childish secret smiling like ^_^

*Crafted Elite Black Rose!  Now need Essence of Purity, Moon Pieces, Soft Cotton Yarn, and Peace Insignia for next Artifact.

*Mass promoted fifteen characters to Master.  Partially due to laziness and partially due to lack of Shiny Crystals.  :p  Three are slotted to be promoted.

*Currently at thirty-five High Masters (well, the former HMs, now that you can go to 125).  Reneia (Heyran) is up next.

*Reached 1,000 on Farm's Weeding! :o

*Crafted Ogre Polearm, sadly, no more Ogre recipes (or any Werewolf recipes).

And here is a teaser for upcoming posts...

Artifacts & Weapons Series

I wanted to start this post off with this screencap, one of my better screencaps of Medusa.

Since Playtime Event completed, I haven't done much leveling.  Katerinia (Pio Grandies) and Svensgaard (Lhote) haven't reached Master yet.  I managed to get one Hammer of Sloth out of 267 chances (leftover points after getting Lhote).

I tagged at Montoro this week.  This isn't the first time, but I still think tagging at Montoro is funny because my triple WC team isn't supposed to be able to do damage.  Maybe he was weak with envy of their rods.  :p

I added two more Basic Artifacts, now I have six.

Elite Black Rose ~ need to craft another pair of Roses to get Elite version: 14,000 Silk, 14 Head of Mantis, and 1 Vampire Heart to go
Elite Bloody Rose ~ have
Elite Selene's Memory ~ need to craft another pair of Selenes to get Elite version: 25,500 Soft Cotton Yarn, 95 Peace Insignia, and 18 Moon Piece to go
Elite Selene's Heart ~ have
Repairman's Nut ~ no plans to craft at this time
Repairman's Bolt ~ no plans to craft at this time
Arcard Piece ~ have
Eagle Eye ~ have
Sniper's Ring ~ have
Clover Locket ~ have (need to return 17 Royal Insignia)

Midnight Snacks, it's what we do!

Here are a few highlights for the past week!

Went on a CT run and on the 12th floor Punisher was rolling, but alas, it was not to be.  Constantin (Kaisse) is without that stance.  :<  The poor guy only has Flintlock and was leveled to Master with Outrage.  ^^;  What can I say, I'm frugal, conserving my vis for other things instead of buying bullets for Flintlock.  In any case, Outrage is better to use for AFK leveling.

Still keeping eye out for last two old cash costumes and the hair for Mifuyu.  Was gifted a fiery weapon costume!  *_*  Except that Isabella (BSI) uses a greatsword instead of polearm, so not likely to see the costume.  Secret!Hidden!Weapon!Costume!  ;3

Crafted another Artifact!  I received help with the Soft Cotton Yarn.  (Thank you!!!)  I've been doing my best to keep up with Durant quests in hopes of getting Artifact materials.  Sometimes I get lazy...  It takes me about three ET buffs with Francois (Ion) and Octavia (Cathy INT) running up and down collecting up mobs and AOE'ing.  Next goal is to reach 100 Royal Insignia.

Attended Fury Sekhmet and got a Magama Storm Ring (Ludin's Efreet skill)!  :o  I've only started to go recently because I happen to be around.  From the sounds of it, the roll rate is low?  It's going to be like Pokemon, gotta catch them all!  (Ferret snatch!)  I have all the Frost rings because they drop in BH Ice Wizard, but I haven't paid attention to my Tempest rings, not really sure where I got them from because I don't go to Lightning Gate (I'm guessing this is where they drop?), plus I'm not a Beatrice user, so I'm not pressed to get them.

Another thing about clan raids, before the server transfer we took pride in keeping the number one rank on the server, but since the transfer, every week the ranking refreshed, and now we only do them when we get a new member who needs them for Family Attribute quests and the occassional member who isn't already Esmero.  Clan raids used to be the only time I really interacted with the clan.  They were short and kinda fun, and it was where I got my Books for Ion quest.  ^^;  (I kind of want to see us finish Curse of Red Sunset Forest, that was one we had difficulty under G1, I'm sure we would have no problem finishing it now.)

Nowadays it's only going to Montoro with clannies.  CT isn't fully clan and neither is ToC.  ToC I tend to have reliable people I ask* and we generally are able to start ASAP without the room having to restart.  (Thank you, timely people!)  Asking in Clan Chat is usually met with a wall of silence.  :<  The clan members for TP runs at night have started to shrink...

Which leads me to the last subject... that I will post next week.  Yeah, I'm pulling American Idol Ryan Seacrest, "The results... when we come back [from commercial break]."  Poor cliff hanger.  This post is getting too long, I figured I would save it for another week.  Or maybe I just want you guys to come back next week.  XD

[*I think I do all right when I try to organize Crow/Back Alley/ToC runs, a few times I did okay with Tigres, but CT takes too many people and I'm just not up for trying to organizing one.  Ferret is not a leader by nature.]

I leave you with pimp!Max, sitting on the couch at the end of Circus.

Why do I suddenly want to see Joey and Max faceoff?

JosephDominic: How many times do I have to tell you to refrain from calling me that name?
Maximilian: I'm sure I can beat pretty boy.  :D*  [grin with sparkle in teeth]
JosephDominic: [...]  I am surrounded by idiots.

Hunt for the Missing Black Sock

I made it to 9000 Back Alley Poor favor rate!  *_*
The next 1000 points would take 20 days, I might not be able to do it consecutively, but maybe accomplish this some time in mid-November?

Two other minor things before I spam some cut screencaps...  ^^;

I finally reached Level 1 in Fishing on the Farm.  LOL...

I haven't been paying attention to my TP Neph crystals as I haven't been going to it consistently.
I currently have 247, this would take about 22 days to complete, but again, I don't make it to it often, so might be a end of November completion?  We'll see.  I think I would go for a LOE.

An unplanned project: I got "harassed" about making Artifacts.  :p  So far...

Had to craft both the Bloody Rose and Black Rose to craft the Elite Bloody Rose.

Must keep doing Port Union, Merchant Union, Back Alley Poor for Artifact mats...  (3400 points)

Other rambles, I don't chip things often, as I don't often have gears to chip.

This server seems to like to give me Wildlife...

Not keeping that 100e Fire, was capped just for records.

I'm a bit annoyed about the 100e Ice, I'd rather have something else.

I'm keeping the Evil Ice because I already spent too many chips on it.  Orz

Montoro number I don't know what anymore...  32?
