It's Hammer Time

Today's Bounty Hunter Minotaur had an Enhanced Mino!  D:  After killing it and clicking on the roulette box, he respawned and was o.o! wut?  Tried to call for reinforcements from clan and two clannies were kind enough to let me summon them.  He was painful.  >.<;  Joey JosephDominic and Etienne died a few times.  :x  And even all of us, we were cutting it pretty close on the timer (fifteen minutes allotted), I thought we weren't going to make it.  Then we had three minutes to kill mobs for Sun Stones!  :D  That was unexpected, though it seemed a bit cheap reward for the amount of work we put in to killing that Enhanced bull!  D:

House of Pineapple

Helped the last of the 500 BH runs.  So in total would mean 2500 BH?  /o-o\  I think I'm going to set foot in BH for a long time!

Miss Brunie is high society and deemed this random sighting to be scandalous.  Her entourage mimics her reaction.

Super Nova

Did another 20+ BH to set off fireworks.  nutty!Ferret  I must really like fireworks at end of BH.  :3

Currently working on Angelina's (Cadet Elisa) prevet and vet stances.  Made it to Level 10 of ET (lost count of the number of ET users I have now).

Tonight is maintenance and I pray that I finally get my enchantments back.  It's been exactly a month since I submitted my ticket and it is getting ridiculous.

I wonder if we will get another "Playtime Event".  I pray for no more active events.  This BH Event was too much.  People who complained on forums about needing active event... should have been careful what they wished for.  :x

What I would like is a EXP event!

Badge of Courage: We Survived 500 Bounty Hunts

T.T  Done.  Finally.  Done.  Freedom.  *collapse*

 The last one was Porto Bello.

Running around doing celebratory fireworks.

Like a Chinese New Year Dragon.  ;D

The whole time I was trying to come up with a name for Cadet Elisa.  >_>  It's very un-Ferret-like to not have a name prepared well in advance.  I guess I better start coming up with names for... Pioneer Grandice, Sniper Bernelli, Cherlyn, Freeday, Liung, Vendetta Valeria, and Spy Olivia in case someday they make them available to non-cash players.  Oh, and a name for original Olivia.

Maybe I can finally sleep better at night.  No more BH nightmares.

 (\_(\

  / o-o \

Crafted the Al Risch.  My second Constellation weapon.  Yes, I am that noob.  Read it again, my SECOND Constellation weapon.  I've been playing for almost three years and only have two Constellations.  I've had the Shooting Crystals ready for over a year.  Just never went and got recipes.  Blue Crane put two chips on it.  :D

Another Franken creature on the rise?!

I suppose I should thank all this BH spammage...

I got an Intuition of Al Rischa recipe from BH Occulta!!!

<('.'<) ^( '.' )^ (>'.')>

Never would have thought I'd get a recipe, thought that if I did, it would end up being something I wouldn't use like a blunt. Never mind that symbol sets are barely worth anything nowadays, but still at today's price of 125m a set, that's still 125m saved.  :o

Nearing the end of all this BH spamming nonsense.  T.T

Team Protest!

Last day of the Cadet Adriana/Arctic Wolf Event.  Can't wait for 500 points for Cadet Elisa.  Still don't have a name for her.  D:

Team wants to go on strike about BH spamming.  I crack the whip too hard on them.  :x

Anastasia looks stern about something.
JosephDominic is grinning about something.  (The way he's sitting looks weird!)
Katia looks like she's upset with Ana.

Actually, I always thought my muskie looks like Ito Misaki 伊東 美咲.

84/7 = 12 per day

Slice & Dice

Hmm early maintaince tonight, and a long one at that.  Maybe I'll finally get my weapon mods back.  >_>;

30 BH runs today, 162 to go.  x_x  16 to 17 per day for me for the next 10 days.

Rather dizzy from the spamming.  I also did 10 runs of something too.  @.@

*collapse*

JosephDominic = Slice
Alicia = Dice

*chop*chop*chop*  Monsters beware!  >D

Mutiny on Board the HMS Bounty

Bounty Hunter that is!  Cry!  Mutiny!  Did thirty-three runs today.  Poop de pooped.  x.x

15 days left, but I might not be around much for the last four.  192 to go with 11 days means 17 to 18 per day.  That's a bit more doable.  But even though it's "horror", I kind of want to get it done as soon as humanly possible.  T_T

Miss Cadet made it to Expert 8!

Needle in a Haystack

Several people already reached 500 Bounty Hunter points.  O_O  Hardcore people with a lot of time and patience.  I start to get weary after about 15 or so.  :x  I hope I get the points all in before the event ends.

I got two Generous Rooms, which counted for points, so that was cool.

Who's a knucklehead?

I am.  :<

Setting that thought aside, for now...

Spammed BH, but sadly it was to catch up to the loss of twelve points that could have gotten from the three new BHs.  500 still seems like a long ways off...  I think T3 should extend the event at least a week since it was messed up and I still didn't get the previous rewards.  I'm getting tired of playing a game that's broken...

No other news, just the daily grinding of leveling, BH, and CM.

Cadet is making decent progress (using Heaven or Hell, level 60 stance lol), though I forgot to get her LTDA buff.  It's a bit annoying that there is only a half hour window and only at a specific time when I can get this buff instead of any time like Blessing of Mercenary and Blessing of Ancients.

ramble ramble

Curly Fries

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

as reenacted with the Black Eagles at BH Medusa.

So...  I had two people explain to me the list of BHs to spam and still I am not certain I got it right.  I wrote it down anyway, in case T3 fixes my rewards issue but messes up my points and if I absolutely as a last resort have to catch up on points, here they are, under the cut.

60 BHs for 66 points.

Spider Bite

Orz

It feels like there is too much to do.

There was an emergency maintenance to fix the points for the new missions.  However, for me, I have a personal issue.  I can't get any of the rewards even though I have the necessary mission points.  I sent my screen caps to two Administrators and submitted a ticket.  I hope I'm not the only person with this issue and that the people who do also submit tickets, otherwise I'm really screwed for the Cadet Elisa Card.  :x

So far have gotten a Dullahan Pistol and Shield from the new missions.  Who knows, maybe I will start a collection!  There are also Werebear, Werewolf, and Ogre too!  Oh, my!

In brighter news, crafted my first Magic Leather Glove!  Can mark this off the Goals List.  :O  Yeah... almost three years come June 10th, and I'm still working on Magic accessories.  la shame.  el ferret is n00b.  (Another reason why I don't think I belong in the clan I'm in.)

I'm a lucky ferret though.  nod nod  (>'.')>*

No other major news, just leveling the boys (Rafael, Reilly, and Isaia), farming Krytonite, and not getting enough sleep.  D:

Bounty Hunter Event

Three new Bounty Hunts were added - Sphinx, Minotaur, and Medusa.  And... Cadet Elisa Card Event based on going to BH.  >.<;  I know people asked for play events but wow... 500 points... I don't have that many hours to be that active and spam BH that much.  Might not get her card.  Plus we didn't get any points from the new three BHs.  o.o

Sphinx was a lot of knock downs.  Minotaur was no problem.  Medusa wasn't bad either, just the flying mobs following in hoards, have to kill them first.

Also attended "real" Medusa.  :p

黒薔薇

The mobs in Kielce Night Training Camp hurt a lot.  I've been taking Alicia (Grandies) and JosephDominic.  This screen capture was from last week.  I just noticed the two soldiers standing there, like they weren't sure whether to attack or not!  First time seeing them instead of a big attacking glob.  They're eerie with their green glow in the dark.  The way they move feels like skeletal attackers.

I'm really crappy at using melee, the only melee I learned to use was Geia (Asoka).  Used her for all the character quests (during G1)!  So I chuckle at myself trying to use duo melee.  Usually I skill a shoot or magic character and the melee is on spacebar.  :p  I think with some more practice I'll get the hang of it.

Sneaking up on Demonic Elmorc

Slowpokes can't catch up to Anastasia
You'd think Joey would hop faster

冷静と情熱のあいだ

BH Occulta rolled three 96e weapons.  :o  Pretty spiffy!

I miss Raiden/Quinzel Boxes.  Clicking on webpage isn't the same feeling as clicking a box in game (I have not used Cash Shop, I'm speaking from my experience with the Playtime Event clicking).  I feel like Cash Shop roulette item sales/trades are controlled by cash players.  No boxes for non-cash players to buy from the market to click and get a chance at items on their own instead of paying vis to buy weapons and costumes and what not.  It makes me sad.

Speaking of clicking, the new Playtime Event should give us a separate option to "Click to use all points".  Clicking100 times to use up 600 points, for example, is 99 clicks too many.  Orz

Puppet Master and Dark Avenger wrapping up.
Still working on soups for Diable...  Fish and Thick Spider Meat.
Construction characters still need to be worked on.

Wow, I have reached this many pageviews!  Thank you readers!

The title of this post is a name of a 2001 Japanese movie, also known as Calmi Cuori Appassionati.  A song from its soundtrack was playing on my playlist.  I fail at post titles.  I'm well aware that my post titles make no sense 95% of the time.  :p  A few posts ago, there were two days of lines from a Cowboy Bebop song, "The Real Folk Blues".

Lonely Undertaker

I haven't set foot in Kielce.  :o
Another day, another day.

Did the handful of BH and Circus.  :)
Circus gave me some Corrupt Essence!  :O

Made two more soups for second book.  Currently three ready, if I have enough Wheat Flour tomorrow I can make two more for the same five I made for first book.
I hope the stance book is tradeable...  O.o;  I mean the Cathy Robot ones are.

Materials still needed (for both books):
Wheat Flour    x25
Honey    x145
Fish Meat    x85
Great Clear Rum    x59
Great Fish Meat    x59
Thick Brawn    x58
Thick Comodo Meat    x54
Thick Spider Meat    x35
Thick Wolf Meat    x53

If it only takes me two more soups, I'm going to shoot to get Fish Meat and Thick Spider Meat.
I pray, pray, pray only two more soups.  *_*

Stance wise, Sofia (Mia) is working on Fleuret Glacier with Cordelia (SUM) Puppet Master, and that brat Reilly (Tora) Dark Avenger.  Only Ambrosia (Sharon) and Tobias (Vincent) left!
[Excluding Cilliano (ICP) and Marcelo (Panfilo) Diable.]

And finally, the last character name revealed:

J.D. is JosephDominic

He's so special that he gets two names.  XD
Alas, he has not graced us with his presence.  T.T

However, if T3 is going to be as "warp speed ahead" as they have been with this patch and Cash Events (don't even get me started... just don't...) we will see him in less than two months.  :P

While keeping the other on yesterday

\(^.^)/  Brandish Arm obtained and added to Tracker.  I appreciate all the assistance I received with the Basement portion of the Marie favor quests on the alts.  (>'.')>

When we switched to the new host and the new patches that we were getting, I had forty-four stances that I either had to buy (with symbols), obtain during character quest (new characters), or quest for (old characters).  I am now down to the last three: Mia's Fleuret Glacier, Panfilo's Diable, and Viki's Robo Trance.

I got started on Mia's today.  It pained me to use up 140 Veteran Chips for Dignite costumes (70 chips, 50 High Quality Red Cloth, and 50 High Quality White Cloth each).  She wanted a Scout Dignite today and for tomorrow she wants Musketeer Dignite.  T.T  I should get the stance this weekend if I can get five more Sewing Boxes and whatever three random costumes she wants, I hope I have already.

Those ladies were hurting us real bad over the Louis Bag!

Not as painful for the Coco Suit, phew!

Also did a few of those quests in the Select tab of the quest log.  The really short ones.  I thought Natalie and Daria's was going to be short, but I had to deal with Rotating Blades at Old Port of Coimbra and Turrets at King's Garden.  There's still more, but I stopped for the day.

I thought the skyline was pretty.

Attended TP Rose with Katia (F-Musk) and Tania (Brunie).  Went to a super fast ToC run with Alicia (Grandice) and Tania.  I even got Feast from the first set of robots (I'm unworthy to make attempt that early in the raid, usually I try after Queen 2nd Form).  We ended with me still having two minutes of Feast left.  Alicia had fun with Soul Bringer.  :)  Couldn't ask for a more awesome sword and main-gauche set!  :D

Also did weekendies.  There's something soothing for me watching these waves and enjoying the company.

Cruise Furious and Cathy STR Crusader are 20% until level 21.  Cathy SUM is 15% into level 23 of ET.  I think I will work on Vincent ET next.

Boring Ferret notes about the forty-four stances.

Bless you!

*achoo!* ferret sneeze

In a rambly list of today's activities.  Clan Raids, weekendies, TP Rose (Stella went up a level after killing Roses, so apparently those things give Exp!), Basement (67/100 favor rate), CT up to Floor 5, Arsene Vault.  Vesped for an hour... it's no fun when only two of the characters do the vesping and you haven't UD gears.  Used Etienne and Watson (STF).

This thing gives me the creeps.

Shows up during DS farming.

 We lost our tank during the CT run.

The suggestion in the Chat box cracked me up.

Octavia does have Crusader completed

and I did have my blunt and shield on me.  XD

 The brats actually look normal on side profile

instead of an angsty teenager.

 

340 DS goal reached, now at the next 47/300 d('.'d)

Rascel the Rascal

I *could* have gotten Rascel by now, but of course T3 insists that I wasn't consistently logged on.

Did weekendies (Bounty Hunter) on a weekday.  :o  Tried to do them with team who's only geared with blank trump weapons and 96e/ELB armors.  ^.^;  Though for some reason tagged a Frost ring.  I probably just need two more then have all five.

Actually I had considered crafting an Inno ring, but short Redemption ring.

No luck with Montoro Ring still.

After days of no Sewing Boxes, finally got five of them.  Though only one of them was a costume I didn't have before.  Work in progress, for sure.

No time, no time, always short on time.  Running like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

Speaking of rabbits, two new Blog Guardians have been introduced.  I need double the luck.  :<

Too, too tired

Went and got all my Experts their stances.  I forgot to screencap Sniper before I slapped it on Omar.  *sigh*  Now I have to buy another one or something.  I'm really running on empty with real life I can barely focus and lose a lot of concentration every where.  For example, I took Alicia to BH Ice Tower without checking to see if she had armor on.  :<

Promoted Florencia, Tobias, Ambrosia to Expert and Xenia to Master.  Octavia finished Activator, while Xenia is slow poke with Blitz Assault.  Got started on Therapy.

Did the Catherine map quest thing again for Puppet Master and got the 50 Lloyd Neckties done, waiting for tomorrow's Sasha Dress.  I got two Sewing Boxes today but it gave me the same costumes I already got (formerly ones I didn't have).

All right that's all.  I'm going to collapse.  :\
