5 Dire Wolves

I finally bought Erase Magic. Question: Is the rule for amount of monsters one can tame also cha + class bonus / 6?

Well take a look:

I took them to DI to see how they would do against Nightmare. They get killed in one hit...
I died to nightmare, but I stayed on the ground to see if I would still get drops. Haste potion and blinding potion. =(

After two nightmares, I only had three dire wolves left. When the sixty minute timer was almost done, I dissolved them and killed them. One of them pulled a bdai from something like two mages, two elves, and a dark elf. Nice doggy ^^

Orim Ain't Here

On Sunday night, a friend of mine asked me to camp Caspa group with him. I've done this many times in the past, sometimes by myself, and sometimes with a partner. I never saw Caspa group before, and never even saw leftover laundry.

Well turns out this 40 minutes wasn't a waste:


In retrospect, I probably never found the group because I always hung around the 3f/4f staircase. This time I teleported around during the whole spawn time, and I found the group with about 5 minutes on the spawn clock.

If you notice the location, it's on the third floor, just left and above the 3f/4f staircase, so if they shouted, and I was at the 3f/4f staircase, I would see it. They didn't even shout. Who knows, maybe in the past, the Caspa group ended five seconds away from me because I always waited for that shout.

They probably didn't shout because they spawned on the dark elf that was there. He was pretty smart. I think originally he was hitting Sema, but once I arrived, he went to Merkyor. Merkyor cap must still be worth a small fortune.

It was nice to finally see the pack that is always looking for Orim while on the wrong floor. I also made about 6,000a because I only used 30 oranges.

Elven Forest Action

I'm calling the contest off. The question is too hard and I got some strange responses. I got UConn Ho! from the title of the Calvin and Hobbes book "Yukon Ho!".

Finally, some pictures I find interesting. I never took a screenshot with a buff running out before. It's cool how I got an empty space. I killed that ent all by myself. I was running like a maniac with windwalk on and using triple shot like crazy. The kill probably took me 4 minutes or so. Lastly, Scout at mother tree?!?!

Wind is cool. Extra damage from eye of storm and saving wafer money by using windwalk instead. That's about 21,000 adena an hour. I also get from monster to monster faster because of the walking speed.

Wasting DK Morph and Contest # 2!

Below is some of my adventures with KG ring being death knight morph. If you don't want to read it, don't forget to look at the contest #2 question below!

It was actually a pretty disappointing three days. I went into Friday night thinking I would play for a total of 15-20 hours and get that much experience. I didn't use the focus method I spoke of in a previous post. I think the focus method really does have a profound impact on my experience gaining. I only got half of what I projected I would get.

Death knight moprh is fun though. It makes group hunting a lot better. On Friday night and Saturday afternoon and night I did something I'm sad to say I haven't done in a long time. I hunted with some old friends. We went to Forgotten Island, TOI 19f, and TOI 34f. It was really fun. I changed to fire for this event in order to take advantage of death knight morph, and my friends who are knights and dark elves really appreciated the fire.

I went with my knight friend to South Forgotten Island and we just owned. Well he owned, I was just sucking experience. It seems like the elemental part of fire weapon does help when killing monsters weak to fire. He was killing werewolves in as little as one swing with his orcish bume smache. I started hitting him for fun (because FI is Combat Zone), and he hit me back and my HP dropped down so fast that I ran. Orcish bume smache hurts when the meteor goes off.

I went with my DE friend to 19fl. I thought beholder's dropped Advance, Immune, and Absolute barrier, but I found out after the hunt that it only drops Absolute Barrier. The hunt was still fun though, and again, I was just dead weight. Dark elves still kill really fast. Getting to 19f was easy but getting to 20f took awhile. When we finally go to their stairs, we went up and saw a huge mob of dire wolves, beholders, and dancing swords. We decided to stay on 19f. It was impossible to get back to 18f, we just kept going in circles on 19f. Damn that floor is hard to navigate.

34f was the best experience out of all. I went with another knight friend to 34f and I was surprised at the experience I was getting. Usually when I hunt with one other person, I only get half of the experience I usually get. Hunting on 34f I was actually getting normal experience, even with a partner. We were cutting through 3 packs of pikemen like butter. I could finally do damage compareable to my melee buddy because of +7 rapier.

Contest #2!
Some of you may have seen me around with this title. The obvious meaning is I am going to be part of University of Connecticut class of 2010.
"UConn Ho!" means something though. The contest question is,
Where did I get the phrase "UConn Ho!" from and how was it originally written?

The prize is,
+7 Rapier
I hope someone can get it, but if people comment saying it's too hard, I'll give a hint.
If someone can get it without a hint, the prize is +7 rapier.
If a hint is needed, I'll have to think of a lesser prize.

PS: I don't think I'll always make contest prizes that expensive, but this contest question has special meaning to me.

KG Ring is DK Morph!

Now for a tough choice... people who read my blog help me out!

Killglance Ring is Death Knight morph now, so most likely it will be dark elf next. (I didn't play the last time kg ring was death knight morph [and I don't even know if that has ever happened] so can someone who knows confirm if Dark Elf morph was the next KG ring change?)

So with Death Knight morph now and the possibiliy of Dark elf Morph next, I'm wondering if I should stop playing AceVentura for now and power level a new character.

A character I've always wanted to start is a 18 con/18 wis/16 int mage. I actually have some basic AC gear I could put on a new mage, and also decent mana regeneration gear too. I also have a +7 bsom from the chest event.

It's very tempting to switch class for a week or maybe even a couple of weeks.

Contest Conclusion

Seeing some of the responses, I guess the contest is either unfair or too hard, so I'm just gonna award the 5 nzels too Wasteland. Congratulations Wasteland! Whisper me, or I'll whisper you for the prize.

The actually stats of the mage is level 46, 18 wis, 18 int, 12 charisma. Wasteland and ElvenKind guessed those stats, but Wasteland's guess of level 41 was closer.

I've been seriously slacking in the Lineage content and I'm sorry for that. Lately, I haven't been hunting anywhere interesting and I haven't seen any unusual or amusing occurences. I might change my hunting grounds and maybe have more content.
