Heavy Stinger & Nana

Derp, this was supposed to get posted two weeks ago.  Guess I didn't press the "Publish" button hard enough???  Currently plotting some things to post in later weeks...

~~~~~

Took Claricia, Laurent, and Constantin on a Castilla Mines run to farm for Shiny Crystal Chest (for Crystal Hogger Event, which T3Fail forgot to post results on the specified day). 

Not sure how I feel about his costume. He's already pretty pale, the blackness of the attire just makes his complexion even whiter.

Target practice. I find it funny? ironic? that Constantin got his Heavy Stinger Stance + IBR-620 Large Caliber Rifle before he got his Punisher.

Took him to Montoro to try him out.

  
I haven't spent a lot of time in Castilla Ruins ever since I finished the quest for the medals.

Can we have Tempest for a Pet?

And can we make Nana recruitable?

More pics of Nana under the cut.

...will end and the sun will rise

Chelsia finished leveling ET.  orz  Another ET user.  Yay...  [said Ferret unenthusiastically]

Now it's time to level Basketball Hoop Story Telling.

Chelsia: [starts crying] I don't want to learn Story Telling!  [sob]
It's hard and... and the monsters in the Cave are scary!  ; . ;

JosephDominic: [kneels]  Will Chelsia learn Story Telling for me?
I will protect you from the monsters.

Chelsia: [stops crying]  [sits on the floor]  Really?  Really?  [giddy]
[claps hands]  Joey will protect me?  ^ . ^

JosephDominic: [cringes internally]  [I am not a baby kangaroo...]
Of course, you have my word.  Fear not little one.

~~~~~
Ferret: [squish] Joey [squish]

JosephDominic: [eyes flare red]  Kindly refrain from calling me by that name.
[places hand over hilt of weapon]

Ferret: [cowers]  [Eeek!]  So-sorry!  [scampers to dunce corner]

Someday Kano's going to grow up to be a pretty blonde girl and JD's going to steal her and all hell will break loose from Kaisse.

JosephDominic: -_-#  I would do no such thing.

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

No use crying over spilled soup!

Finished Grace, Selva, and Raven sub-quests that will be continued in Bristia.
I still have Brunie, Najib, Romina, Cruise, Master Guardian, and Billy "Select" quests to complete.
Didn't make any soup today for Panfilo.  And didn't start anything for Viki.

Natalie finished Flintlock.  Now Cathy STR is Lv 20 Brandish Arm, Najib Lv 20 Sniper (he looks funny when he's laying on the floor and getting hit by mobs), and Daria on Lv 16 Flintlock.

The ones left to be worked on: Cathy SUM Puppet Master, Tora Dark Avenger, Mia Fleuret Glacier, Sharon Trikinesis, and Vincent ET (started this a bit).

From Selva's sub-quest, after beating up Sharon.

Did the weekendies.  Went to TP Rose and Cortes.  And even went to two consecutive ToCs.  I don't like this raid.  I still get junk.  Like two vegetables (Seeds of Rafflesia which looks like broccoli and Siren Scale which looks like corn) from a Gold chest.

Count down to Bristia!  Today's character - Marchetti shall be Robin

Ferret is covered in soot!

Did so much but little time to tell it with details.  x.x

Yesterday
✿ Attended fifth Montoro raid
❀ Circus again with Soul Bringer, need more practice with it
✿ Did Bahia Room twice to get Sewing Boxes for Mia stance quest
❀ Duo'd Lightening Gate and got a Diamond Dragon (rifle) to add to collection \(^.^)/
✿ Obtained Fleuret Glacier Stance Book (1st day: Le Dig Scout / 2nd day: Le Dig Musk + 5 Sewing Boxes / 3rd day: 5 Sewing Boxes + Elementalist Rob Costumes/Clara Mago Costume/Le Blanc Costume)  Was lucky I had the first two from Costume Boxes, but Le Blanc is a Rank 1 costume I had to buy recipe and craft.  Added to Tracker.
❀ Made one Panfilo Soup (for Claude)

Today
✿ Clicked webpage 435 times for Playtime Event, got a Ralph Character Card \(^.^)/
❀ Crow with Alicia (Grandice) and Tania (Brunie)  Yes, I call her Grandice instead of Grandies, because Grenmah will always be Grenmah to me and not Grandice!
✿ Finished Natalie/Daria quest (But didn't to start any other quests...)
❀ Crafted Platinum Controller  It came out +4 2S because of Blue Crane buff, also, some chips after, got Summons +2 because of Blue Crane buff too  <3  \(^.^)/
✿ Made three Panfilo Soup (for Brunie, Grace, & Raven)  Unfortunately, favor rate is at 50/100.  I'm so screwed...  I also forgot that ICP uses Diable too, so this actually makes it 45 stances I'm getting...
❀ Clan Raids with Alicia and Tania
✿ TP Rose, Cortes, Nephtys (Switched Alicia out with Octavia [Cathy INT] for the latter two)
❀ Bounty Hunter
✿ Circus, doing better with Soul Bringer
❀ Prepping for Bristia... farming, farming, farming Bulk Coal...  (Hence, a sooty Ferret.)

Counting down to Bristia!  Each day I will reveal a name for a new character.

Today's character - Barrel shall be Leopold

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.

Catherine Expert Stance: Map Quest

Today is the fourth time I've gone through the Catherine Expert Stance quest...  I've never made any guide things because there are plenty of really good ones out there.  I used this guide for the Catherine Expert Stance quest.  The only confusing part was the one where you had to go to the hidden basement and kill mobs until you get three clues (one of them is rather redundent) to tell you which mob (Lloyd - bullets, Victor - fists, Sasha - lightening) and which warp location (north, south, east, west).  I went and marked up this map.  The mob and warp location never changed.  Hope this helps anyone who hasn't done it yet or going to be doing it again on another account.

And so!  After killing Clown Lloyds, Lady Sashas, Mighty Victor (easier to find now because less people camping in Annex and killing them unknowingly), and Octopus for the fourth time...  I beat up Cathy and need to beat her up two more times to get Brandish Arm.

The quest is called "Scold Catherine".

I originally set up Torsche, Musk, and Cathy INT, but you can't enter Catherine's room with any Catherines.  So I had to change it to Ania, Musk, and Emi.  I put my armors and weapons on them, except for the blunts which were not so great mod 92e Barons.  I was worried they wouldn't make it.  I used pink loli and mystic potion (used up the Princ potions during the map quest portion, Emi does not have ET).  They didn't make a dent on Cathy for the first fifteen seconds, but in the end, I managed to finish in a minute and a half.  *phew!*

For Cathy INT's Activator you have to answer five questions correct for three days.  If you answer any of the five questions wrong at any time you have to start over again.  I wrote down the answers to some of the questions, but I didn't write down the questions.  I made some guesses to what those questions might have been.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Never would I have thought it possible to get (in my opinion) the two hardest quest stance books on the same day.  I thought that it would be more likely that I get Soul Bringer (Montoro Raid) before I even saw Abyss (Viscount Ring).

Some technicalities as to which one I got first.  I received the Viscount Ring* first, but didn't do the quest for Abyss until after I got Soul Bringer after Montoro Raid.  I also turned in my second Veronif Diary in for the Abyss Scroll.

[Montoro Raid image removed by request of Clan Leader.]

I used a few Vet Chips without the aid of enchantment boosters (as I had none).  Veronif's Diary has a low atk and 75% Lifeless and Abyss Scroll got a decent atk and atk spd, good enough for afk leveling anyway.  Nothing special.  I wasn't expecting anything good since I never had that kind of luck.  These two are the first gears I've chipped since the new server.

The two stances have been added to Tracker.  What's left is Brandish Arm, Fleuret Glacier, Diable, and Trance Robo.  Marie only gave me seven favor points today, bringing it to 92/100.  I pray she will give me enough tomorrow to finish.  I haven't put much thought into the other three, Fleuret has something to do with Dignite costume, Diable has to do with soups, and Robo sounds way too difficult and time consuming.  :\  Ah well, I finish Brandish first.

Stances
Currently: Grandice Soul Bringer, Vincent Abyss, SUM ET
Need to finish: Natalie & Daria Flintlock, Cruise Furious, STR Crusader
Need to start: Tora Dark Avenger, Sharon Trikinesis, Najib Sniper
Other: STR Brandish Arm, Vincent ET, SUM Puppet Master, Construction characters

245/300 d('.'d)  Tomorrow I do believe shall be done.

By the way, I think the chicken came first because of evolution, an organism becomes a chicken.  I don't think an egg can just appear without there being a chicken to lay it.  But that's just me.  :p

*I am very much indebted, thank you so much.

Kamikaze Robot

Sabre Tooth and Split Shoot finished.  Elisa needs more work.  Going to start working on Furious and Crusader (STR).

85/100 favor rate, I hope she doesn't give 7 and 7 points because that means a third Basement run.  >.<;

Here's to hoping that the prices on Ion hair and costume and Ralph hair will go down.

201 means 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer...

Can't wait for the work week to end.  Tired.

Yawny Ferret.

steamrolled pancake ferret

Went on a ToC run which used up a lot of SC.  >.<  I envy people who WC ToC.  First, because I have yet to WC in ToC since the new server; someone else always takes that role, meaning I don't get to practice (I rather feel like people think I'm too slow and they're in a hurry to do the raid so they tell me no because I suck).  Second, ToC runs go so much faster now, DPS is faster and kills bosses faster.  WC was very, very tedious when DPS doesn't kill fast back in the old server.

Overall I feel very useless to the clan.  Because I can't do anything but DPS, which is a joke since my weapons suck.  Everyone is running around with tons of 33AR and 34AR and a bunch of OP mods.  I'm still using 32AR junk.  I don't have time to raid stuff for things to sell and chips are worthless to sell.  I have no luck with chipping or getting ELNr or GCr from raids.  Very, very useless.

All I seem to do when I attend clan raids is res, res, res people.  I res the tank, I res the WC, I res the support of the tank/WC, I res other ressers, all before I res myself.  I don't necessarily enjoy ressing, but it needs to be done or we all die and the raid ends, and also back to the whole I'm even worthless as a DPS, so what have I left?  I can't WC, I can't DPS.  I'm only good for ressing.  I try my best in what I can and have time for, but it all feels like it amounts to nothing.  :<

I had to vent that out.  I've been feeling like that for weeks and weeks now and can't keep it bottled in anymore.

Back to the ToC run.  I got Feast after five attempts, except now it's called Festival.  I can't stand some of the translations/converted names of people, places, and things.  We lost our WC during Queen 3rd form and I was asked to help with Invul.  Was interesting doing duo function - put my Muskies off to the side to DPS and ETS to help with Invul.

In other news, Sabre Tooth is leveling very fast, already catching up to Split Shooter which is slow as heck.  Elisa is taking forever to finish ET.  I don't remember ET taking this long; it feels like the new characters take even longer than Scouts and Emilia to finish ET.  I swear Florencia is going to be Master by the time she finishes.  Orz  I think I need to find quests that give me Stance Cards to spam.  I can't deal with leveling ET on Vincent and Cathy SUM, especially if they're like Veronif who just stood and did nothing but pick her nose on ET.

Got derailed/taking a one day break from farming DS.  Halfway through though.  I really hope to finish this weekend.

Good night from a ferret who is turning furless from the stress from this game.  (>; . ;)>

Cajun Fish

Progress on Basement 77/100, meaning three more runs!
Sewing Boxes gave me Yeganeh's Devourer costume, added to Costume Tracker.

Some stances were completed on some characters.
Natalie and Daria still have Flintlock to finish, but going to save to pair up with characters who don't active kill on spacebar.
Cathy DEX is working on Split Shooter.
Elisa is still working on ET.  *cringe*

Currently using Rascel on Sabre Tooth to go with DEX and Elisa.  Then STR on Crusader.
Might try Cruise Furious next, get the melee stances out of the way.
I heard Dark Avenger takes awhile to level?

Others... Sharon, Najib, Cathy STR (Brandish Arm), Cathy SUM (when I get around to crafting a Controller), and the three construction ones.  Vincent and SUM need ET.  :p  God only knows when I'm going to get Abyss.

Haven't started quests for Mia, Panfilo, Viki.  ._.

Wild Doves

Attended a ToC run today.  I went with my lovely muskies Katia and Etienne, who by the end of the run both leveled up to Master 6!  I think this is the first time I've gone duo for ToC.  I've taken duo to Clan Raid before and to a few Time Paradox raids.

So shiny!  <3

Mr. Fox wanted to try out Jack with vesping, so the last 20 levels for Rafael were finished in 20 minutes.  :D  Thanks for speeding that up!  Self vesping is exhausting (without exp buffs).  >.<;

Leveled the pre/vet stances on Isaia (Rascel), Reilly (Tora), and Rafael (Cruise), including Bareknuckles (this was done during CW because of the 100% stance exp buff).  Then spam carded them to Expert.  :o  Sabre Tooth added to Tracker.

125/300 DS d('.'d)
Good o'farming team.  ^.^

Post #375: Ligthening Fast Questing

So...  In two hours I finished HWC, Torsche, and up to the Basement part of Marie quest.  :o

HWC took five minutes and Torsche took ten minutes.  O.O!  I didn't know how Ania/Musk/CathyINT were going to do because they were using Combatant/Outrage/Elemental Lord with my unmodded Chess & Dragon blunts/Golem & ATK/ATK SPD pistols/3AR LOE.  Used Principal potion (event), Pink loli, and Mystic Ampule (event).  Torsche quest got shortened.  It used to be an hour, but now it's only half hour.  I didn't think I could get that far on Marie quest.  That part surprised me the most.  :o

Favor points currently at 60/100.  Basement points range from 7 to 10 depending on how generous Marie feels that day.  So potentially four to six days to finish.

Then I went and grabbed my Rascel card.  \(^.^)/  T3 corrected my points and I was able to get him.  But OMG.  My poor Rascel.  He couldn't be Issia because "ssi" was not permitted and he couldn't be Isiah because of "iah".  Poor guy had to be Isaia.  T.T

Also got Tora today.  :o  Just plain Reilly.  His moodiness scares me.
Finished Furious stance book quest, posted on Tracker along with Rascel card.
Now I only have Abyss stance book quest left in the "Recruitment" tab of Quest logs.
I haven't touched any of the ones in "Select".  >.>;
Oh and got my second Veronif Diary, which I will eventually convert to Magic Book for Vincent.  Someday.  When I get that Montoro Ring.  T.T

My last lowbies.

Going to try to find time to vesp Rafael and Isaia this weekend.

Cruise - Had better be worth the hunting and those chips for stance book.
Tora - Too much of a PVP character to me, which I don't do.  He's probably going to collect dust.
Rascel - Looks so charismatic next to Tora.  Almost considering spamming Master Card on him.

145 more Dragonfly Silk to go!!!  d('.'d)

2 Fast 2 Furious

(For doing things "too fast" and hoping to get "Furious" stance soon.)

Got Split Shooter stance book today and added to the Tracker.

Too tired to to do HWC and Torsche today.  :<

Better get to bed too.  Or suffer Coach's thunder bolts.  :x

Surrounded!  Surrounded by trees!

This would have been exciting back in the day when farming apples!

優しい光

Received big help with hunting Queen Bee.  Thank you.  o(; . ;)o

Updated Tracker with Cruise card (but have to create him to get Furious).  Also added Puppet Master.  Hope to eventually get Spit Shooter.  Brandish Arm won't be for a long, long while (don't know what to do about it).

AFK Event for Racel.  Just as well.  I don't have time to actively play the game anymore.

A honey eating bunny

Finished getting Cathy Robot Stance Book #1 today.  Octavia is now leveling Activator with Xenia and Cynthia.  Francois graduated, which means Cynthia is a slow poke because I started both their stances at the same time.  I realized I didn't screencap Hermetisme stance book...

Being nerdy, going to load character cards (of the order I obtained them, going to have to come back to finish with Cruise) and stance books under cut for my own tracking purposes.

Two more to go!

Got Therapy stance book in the morning.  Took three days of mad farming.  Orz  Even though used Great Seeds, sometimes they came out normal or they yielded less than three.

Just finished getting Sharon's Trikinesis.  I took a Level 60 Sharon to the stance quest.  LOL...  I guess I was in a pretty ridiculous mood.  And even though the guide recommended taking a third shooter to kill Hamaan, I took Grandice.  Of course, she couldn't do anything.  ETS took ten minutes to take her down, but did so without a scratch.  For Mufasar, I took Lionel.  It still took me over twenty minutes to finish.  Wasn't very pleased with myself.  But Mufasar was hard for me to begin with, in the regular version I can't solo him.  :p  Thank goodness for no Dominator!

Therefore!  Only Cruise and Tora left to collect!

Cecilia finished Cutlass!  Some progress was made on Francois and Cynthia.  I'm going to take some time to level Tobias and Florencia this weekend.  Montoro Ring continues to be elusive. -.-#

Some more progress with Cathy Robot stance quest.  This weekend really hoping to find some time to go to Secret Tower, would be my first time ever.  :o

Duo Prison with Senpai.  I got at least six Ogre rooms.  I was lagging a lot and it didn't help.  >.<;  Claudia died at Testo because of lag.  :x

Exhausted Ferret

Dr Pepper Kiss

Delia finished her stance, so as I stated I would, I spammed the rest of ET on what's-her-face Cynthia, so now she's working on Hermetisme.  Francois is now working on Frost and maybe this will mean in real life he will stop snowing up my environment!  :p

Cecilia is close to graduating from Cutlass, so I have to figure out who to level next.  ^.^;  I might card up the sisters and work on their Equities.  Cathy STR/INT/DEX also have Crusader to work on.  Should probably try to knock out those melee stances.  :p  This weekend looking to wrap up Tobias and Florencia to Vet.

Sharon's quest has supposedly be fixed, the Nar problem.  I might try to get her tomorrow or Saturday.  Cruise and Tora are still in the works.  Just now starting to work on those Dragonfly Silk.  40/600 at the moment.  :[

I received help with Mighty Victor and Fiery Cockatrice.  (Thank you so much!!!)  If those darn Great Wheat Flour would just cooperate, I would have Therapy.  Here's to hoping they will yield tomorrow.  T.T

Blue Kingfisher

Tobias and Florencia made it to Level 72 then I stopped.  Swapping back to leveling Cecilia, Delia, and Cynthia.

Did a few raids today.  Circus, duo'd Prison with Senpai, Deadman (no ring), and CM.

I was half in a hurry and half being lazy, and took the team from Deadman to CM, which was Alicia, Aristia, and Anastasia.  Was not the best team to bring because Ari only had a unupgraded and unmodded Serpent Musk armor and her Dragon shotgun was unmodded (due to the transfer issue which has not been fixed).

Today's duo Prison run was the smoothest one ever.  No deaths.  Not even at Testo!!!  It helped that Lv 12 DVB lasts longer, so I didn't have to worry about keeping Ana floating for WC.  Ele Blasting needs work though, Claudia doesn't get to cast fast enough before she gets knocked over by mobs.  :\

(Some set back on the project with the alts, but hopefully tomorrow it will all work out.  Ferret prays.)

Teary Over Onions

Didn't do a single raid today but leveled, leveled, and leveled.  Virginia and Victoria (the sisters) made it to Level 100 in Skeleton Dungeon.  I haven't promoted them to Vet yet.  Eventually I'll card them up to Expert.  I forgot about working on Omar's (Najib) Sniper.  At some point when I get my Cathy Robot Stances (currently on halt because of no Mighty Victor kill), I'll pair these shooters up with them and the third one will be some healer.

I started to level Tobias' (Vincent) prevet stances.  For some reason he can level Anathema at Level 60 even though it's a Vet stance.  It's taking awhile to level it.  He actually survived because Aristia is so pro, Gigantic Blasting those skeletons before they even got anywhere near them.  However, I think to be safe I'll go back to Schivarliere to level until he and Florencia (Elisa) get to Level 84 and I can slap 84e gears on them.  [I named her after Florence Nightingale.  ^.^;]  He's currently at Level 68 and I put 68e gears on him.  Looking to get Flore to Level 68 tomorrow so both of them can level while Ari blasts.  (I'm already shortening their names!  I only do this when I start getting attached to the character!)

At some point I need to get back to finishing Cecilia's Cutlass and Delia's Efreet; got bored trying to level Expert Stances because they take so long.  Cynthia is sitting in the dunce corner; her ET leveling is killing me.  :<  Hermetisme had better be worth it when I get around to leveling it or I'm going to regret using a Master card on her.

(I'm making use of alts to speed up progress on something.  I hope things work out and be done tomorrow.)
