AceVentura's Lineage Life

Spring Break Party!

2006-04-22T18:10:00.000-04:00

My spring break started on April 13th and I spent a lot of time partying in Lineage!

Even my rabbits were getting into it:

Rabbit congo line. =D

The event had a couple of interesting drops. 21f+ was kind of funny because eggs pick up eggs. lol. I only got one Essence of Nobility so I thought that was pretty rare. One fox made me feel like I just killed a boss. Dropped both zel and dai. Nzel and Bdai. =)

As for my eggs:
1. 20 wafers, 20 mana potions, 50 ancient clears
2. 4 ndai
3. 4 nzel
4. 4 ndai
5. 4 ndai
6. 4 ndai

Did you know Lesser Demons weild Katana in one hand and two handed sword in the other? Look:
My lucky day today; found some rabbit food near aden storage.
Thanks to all who partied with me during my last spring break of high school. =) It was a pretty fun week.

One of those weekends...

2006-04-09T19:36:00.000-04:00

Ever had one of those weekends where you spent hours playing but in the end net exp. gain is still 0?

Sigh, vacation coming up in 3 days, I hope I don't make the same stupid mistakes again.

What if...

2006-04-08T00:07:00.000-04:00

...you spent 20 minutes collecting every helmet, large shield, and ring mail you saw in FVB and FV? How much money would you have?

My Answer: only around 10,000 adena

How about you?

Sorry I forgot to take screenshots but I think I only got around 10,000a for dozens of helmets, a half dozen or so large shield and a few ring mails.

Money

2006-04-02T10:32:00.000-04:00

First off, took this screenshot a couple of days ago.

Wow...

Yea, this is what I get when I hunt. Maybe I'll be able to afford those someday...

If anyone needs that spellbook, or spirit crystal, mail/whis me.

Also I'm buying bananas, oranges, apples, carrots. Whis me if you want to sell.

I was above Forest of Mirror hunting owlbears when I saw a griffon. I didn't know it dropped diamonds 5 at a time. I killed another one a few minutes later and got 5 diamonds again, so I guess it's not that uncommon. Diamonds are useless though. I gambled about 300 of them yesterday and best was probably tear of moonlight.

I started hunting DVC 5f/6f. These are the drops from my first hunt there.

If I learn to hunt there effectively, I'll probably make even more money than that. I went a couple of times after this screenshot and I made 70k in one hour and another time I made 50k in only 35 minutes.

5 Dire Wolves

2006-03-26T12:27:00.000-05:00

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

2006-03-21T18:22:00.000-05:00

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

2006-03-19T00:13:00.000-05:00

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!

2006-03-12T22:36:00.000-05:00

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!

2006-03-08T21:08:00.000-05:00

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

2006-03-06T19:17:00.000-05:00

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.

WoW and Contest Round#2

2006-02-27T21:57:00.000-05:00

It's amazing how many people ask me to play WoW. Today this guy I don't even know very well said to me "play WoW". The pressure is building... I think I might quit Lineage to play WoW.

Just kidding.

I can't imagine myself quitting Lineage because I have so many goals. Lineage was the first MMORPG I ever played and it has changed a lot since 2001. With each added content, my wants increase more and more. What I have now is just a small sample of my Lineage dream.

I will probably quit gaming all together rather than play a game other than Lineage. One of my big regrets is constantly switching MMORPGs and never reaching my Lineage goals. I really plan to stick with Lineage until the end. And may that day never come...

Contest Round 2
Thank you to all who participated in my contest. I think it's unfair to keep people waiting, so I'll have the contest go by rounds.

In Round 1, the previous post, everyone was wrong. So with your choices narrowed down somewhat, keep the guesses coming. (That is, if you really want five nzels.) People who posted their guesses previously may guess again.

Scroll down to see the picture and rules again.

Focus Method and A Contest

2006-02-23T22:46:00.000-05:00

First some drop:
I don't know why people complain about it not being b-kat. Katana = 10k which is better than nothing.
Yeah, I guess I'm late in noticing these spelling errors. I wonder what other ones have them.

Ok now for the focus method, which again, I'm probably late in using. The only person I've ever seen with screenshots like this is Rehito, and when I saw those screenshots, I always thought it was there because that was a convenient location.

So one day I turned on the movable HP/MP bar and I moved it around. I moved it to where you see it in the screenshot, and the first thought that popped into my head was, "Hey, that hides the experience bar!"
I used to constantly look at my experience bar when I hunted and I got discouraged and tired because of how slow the progress was. I would try to play for, say, 3 hours straight and get experience that whole time. What always happened was, I got off after maybe 2.5 hours because I met a certain % goal and I was tired. But with hiding the experience bar, I don't look at my experience and it's easier to just stay on for that period of time I've allocated for hunting.

The best part is moving the experience bar away after a long and successful hunt. Sometimes I go "Wow, I made a lot of progress." There are those moments when I see my experience bar and drop my head in exasperation because I thought I got more % than that. Still, hiding my experience bar really helps me get to my goal faster and more efficiently. These days, I try not to move the experience bar anymore, so don't bother asking me for my level and % because I dont' know. =P

Now for the contest!
Here is the picture again:

I'm going to award [5 scrolls of enchant armor] to whoever gets this right. Post with
-What class this character is
-What level it is
-What is the stat distribution

If you can get all three right, you get 5 nzels.

Example
-Knight
-level 60
-14 con, 20 str

(obviously this guy would be way off track, but at least I eliminated one possibility for you.)

IGG Siege

2006-02-19T09:29:00.000-05:00

I suck at taking screenshots, so I'll just show this one.

Pokemon Spell: Rock Slide

Serious Question- No Flaming, Just Answer If You Know

2006-02-13T08:36:00.000-05:00

I don't know how many big name mages like Drannon, Ettin, Creatine, and so on read this blog, but I have a question about mages in pvp. I was reading drannon's blog a few minutes ago and someone commented with "i still think [name irrevelant] has best mage control ". What I want to know is, what exactly does that mean?

I have a mage and I have tried some pvping with it, but I find it's hard to target a person who is surrounded by other people. Obviously, it's very easy to target someone who is pink with the middle mouse wheel, but it's a lot more difficult to be the aggressor and have to ctrl + click someone. So is that what "best mage control" means?

Then again, how do mages kill one person in a crowd without accidentally hitting bystanders? So my real question is, do all the mages with respect and credability have such great control that they don't use modified lin.bin files or autolocking programs like Linex? I'm just putting it out there, please don't flame, just comment if you have the true answer.

*Previously posted before I thought of the question*

Surprisely, I didn't take a single screenshot from my last post to now, so I have no pictures to post.

Just some news:
-I left PlayBoy because a lot of them joined KoGurYo, and I'm not ready to fight yet. Also a bunch of members left and joined other pledges because PlayBoy is so empty.
-I joined ElvenGlory, and yea, it is full of elves. I think the princess is looking for a war (not like K and Pride war, more like actually using the /war command), so if that ever happens, it would be fun.

I took a quick trip to FI to test elemental falldown + vampiric touch combo. I hunted the place past the drake/bb area with ettin and cyclops. The bugbears/trolls/harpies are easy with triple shot and vt, but the cyclops and ettin require falldown + vt to be killed faster. The experience wasn't better than 3xf in my short run, but if I go again and get used to it, it will probably be better experience. FI is always fun nonetheless.

My rabbits are still level 30 but one is 33 now. I don't expect to start seriously training them again for another month.

Ace is a Water Elf Now

2006-02-05T22:28:00.000-05:00

First off, I'd like to apologize to those people who check this blog often expecting a post. I just don't have enough content to post since I only play about three days a week. I also want to thank those who read this blog; it makes posting worth it.

First off, here's a bit of hope for those who hunt FV! This was my first bdai in over a year.

Look, I only use two rabbits now. Just kidding. One of the two rabbits you see is actually four overlapping. Which one is it?
I haven't been leveling my rabbits lately, so the picture from my previous post is still up to date. Since I have a vacation coming up (Feb 18- Feb 27) I decided to go back to exp gaining mode, as well as exploring more content from episode four.

Once I got to level 30, I chose earth line and never changed. Since elemental falldown came out, I decided to finally switch to water and check it out.
I had a +0 b-kat lying idle on a storage character so I made it +5 and went to FV to play like a melee int elf. It seems like elemental falldown + vampiric touch doesn't add more damage, but lets you do max damage more consistently. So when I fought a fire warrior or fire archer, I didn't have to use elemental falldown first, but on a lava golem, it made a difference.

Just another screenshot I found amusing. Not one, not two, but three bugged lava golems.

One-Fifth There

2006-01-29T11:41:00.000-05:00

This guy really has what I want. Five high rabbits.

I can do it too...

I don't think I will evolve them yet though. I'm hoping to get them to 45. That's what my title means. If pets need the same experience to level up as a player, four times the experience necessary to get to 30 is equivalent of level 30 to 45.

4 * (exp 1 - 30) = 1 * (exp 30 - 45)

It's strange how my lowest level one has the most hp and second most mp. I'm assuming it has the lowest experience because it died the most. It appears the tougher the workout, the more hp/mp a pet gets.

Lastly, imagine if High Rabbits could do this spell. It looks like a cone of cold destroy.

2006-01-24T00:03:00.000-05:00

First, some funniness from pledge.

Next up ... this guy already has what I want.
I talked to this guy for a bit. He said level 5 high rabbit is much stronger than level 30 normal rabbit. He said high rabbit get +2 sp. Also, normal rabbits regen at 5 mp per tick and high rabbits regen at 10 mp per tick.

Current status of my rabbits.

I found 2 beagles for 200a each and 1 beagle for 4k, and I'm earthline, so I thought, what the hell. Elemental falldown + these babies aren't bad.

Dragons!

2006-01-22T14:52:00.000-05:00

First, Valakas was up at about 11 AM EST. I didn't go, but thanks to a pledge member for sending me some pictures. Only drops I know are TQD and Bzel.

Fafurion was called up at around 1:30 PM (thanks Sleepy for the tip). PlayBoy was trying to beat TroopofHawks pledge to it. While we were immuning in front of Fafurion's lair, TroopofHawks showed up. I guess they finished immuning already, because all they did was berserkers (o.O), advance spirit, str/dex, and went in. PlayBoy didn't go in until about 2 minutes later. Lastly, it only took about four minutes to kill Fafurion. Kinda weak if you ask me. Only drop I know is Bzel.

Gathering in front of Fafurion's lair. (TroopofHawks on left, PlayBoy on right)

Attacking Fafurion

I think this is Fafurion's freeze attack

Pictures

2006-01-21T20:39:00.000-05:00

Bah, too lazy to organize these. I'll just write short captions.

My pets

Oum Storage Dwarf During Siege

Gate 1

My Old Pets

Breaking In, Lots of Dark Elf Guards

Gate 3

I saw this rabbit deep in fv, and I ressurected it. It didn't bounce around so I guess it was someones. I hope that guy claimed it. Sad day when someone loses his pet..

Episode 4!

2006-01-17T21:39:00.000-05:00

Wow what an interesting turn of events...

I can't post any pictures right now, but here's what I've been up too:

When I got home Friday, I logged on right away to test my killer rabbits. They were level 15 or so at the time and man oh man were they strong! I was killing everything in FV in one to two seconds. I never even noticed an "increase in FV monster strength" because my killer rabbits were dropping everything so fast.

I decided to do some real testing and I asked some pledge members to help. Before, episode four, I had my 5 rabbits hit a level 63 DE with 100% MR. I barely saw his HP bar move before my rabbits ran out of MP. During episode four, I tested them out (they were level 16-22 I believe) on him again. This time, he couldn't keep up with the damage without using inventory pump trick. All the other level 55+ members I tested on were chicken and started using inventory pump right away. =P Too bad I couldn't test with elemental falldown...

Another amazing aspect is how long they attack for now. I never counted how many shots they get, but the barrage seems to last for 10 seconds at full MP. There are a lot of drawbacks as to using pets to try to kill people, but my summary is: if someone attacks you with his pets,
Option 1: Venz
Option 2: Die

I bought triple shot and elemental falldown. Triple shot is an okay spell, but I'm disappointed at how much it misses. I like it though because I finally appear on par with mage and dark elf, that is, I have a move to kill a monster faster.

Elemental falldown is actually pretty cool. I tested with a pledge member and my average damage was 25. With elementfal falldown on, my damage was 50. It's not a lot because I only have 12 int... but imagine an int elf with 19 int! I heard the tactic to use is earth bind, elemental falldown, erase magic, wait, wait, unfrozen, erupt, erupt, erupt, erupt, dead!

New areas... forget them. Why does NC keep adding areas that are not bookmarkable? I have better things to do then spend time on a boat... e.g. train my killer rabbits. BTW, I did try to tame racoons with my 18 CHA but I failed twice, got bored, and left PI.

Now for the fun part... The day off from school yesterday was really cool because of Diad siege!

It was amazing to be in Giran and join a pledge with the servers finest, from level 49 to 72. The screenshot I have with the highest number is 113.

Breaking down the gates was easy enough, but once inside... The spawn of dark elf guards was really high. A lot of people either venzed or died because of getting paralyzed (anyone can fill me in on how that happens?) I died and ended up in oum village. It was funny to see how everyone from the lowest to highest level were there. Even Diad siege is tough for a level 72. It was great to see the leadership of Takeda and the determination of everyone else. Even though the trek down to Diad Castle was a long one, people made the trip, centralized the attack, and finally took the castle. Unfortunately, I had to log so I couldn't see the end. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done though! .

Well that's all for now, sorry I couldn't post any screenshots, maybe I'll put a few select ones up later in the week.

Buy New Elf Items!

2006-01-11T22:58:00.000-05:00

Well I can't log on until Friday (and woot, 3 day weekend), so might as well hope people visit this site and give me price checks, or if you're even nicer, give me priority on buying items? :-D

I'm looking for:
Spirit Crystal: Triple Shot (obviously)
Spirit Crystal: Elemental Falldown
Spirit Crystal: Erase Magic

Initial pricechecks are much appreciated. ^^

I would also love to hear about PKing tactics, so please take time to comment about those too.

See you all in game this weekend.

Weekly Post

2006-01-08T18:36:00.000-05:00

It's very hard to post when I can't play Mon-Thurs (because of school), so I'm forced to become a weekly poster. Fortunately, I always have some content.

Here's some colorfulness from Saturday's Kent siege. It was the first Kent siege I've been to since beta.

Does it usually take until dusk to take down a gate? Two minutes after they took it down, siege
was over.

I went to Giran DM Saturday night. Those mages are crazy... they used blizzard during the whole third round. Monsters dropped fast. Those boss Succubus Queen at the end were tough though. There were four of them, and each one literally took five minutes to kill. Someone said best drop was res scroll. What a waste.

Lastly, progress of my wolves:

To celebrate, I took them up to 41f to try them out. In short, ever heard the sound of four wolves dying at the same time? Only two were still level 19 after that escapade.

Event Is Over

2006-01-02T20:16:00.000-05:00

Yeah, there's still reindeer collar, santa belt, and snowman ring left, but event is basically over for me because school starts tomorrow. Now I get to look back at what I accomplished, look ahead for new goals, and think about all the homework I didn't do over this break. At least there is 12 hours left until my first class of the new year.

For the new year, I hope I can gain more focus and raise my pets up. My wolves are still doing well for me:

But, as you can see, only 1 leveled up since my last picture.

It's hard to decide what to level between my wolves and these:

Both are equally fun but wolves make me more money... for now.

New year, new pledge.

I couldn't resist joining. This was one of the first pledges I ever joined back when I started playing LoA. I don't know why, but something about that emblem attracts me. For the past year, I've been joining pledges with relatively new players, as in people who have played for a year or so, or who played beta and came back, and the game is somewhat new to them. I feel like I've matured enough as a Lineage player that I should move on to a stronger pledge. I think I will be happy in PlayBoy.

But to all SkyWarriors, I will remember all of you

Happy New Year!

2006-01-01T18:43:00.000-05:00

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! and especially to those who are also class of '06, this is a special year. ^^

Anyone ever heard of the book Bible Code? According to that book, a code in the bible says 2006 is the end of the world. So watch out. =)

Anyways, on to Lineage!

Hunting around again and I accidentally ran into a griffon convention, led by their shrewish leader, the harpy. (Did you know harpy meant shrewish women?)

I didn't mess... I just walked away.

Look at what FI drake dropped me!

Yea yea, you know that's real drake. I was screwing around with my cousin's mage and I decided to go to DVC 6f, and once I teleported to DDR, there they were! I only managed to sunburst one of them 8 times, the other one died before I could land one. I was surprised I got eight lines. That was C-zel by the way.

And finally, it's been a long time since I seen this.

Drops

2005-12-31T21:12:00.000-05:00

Forest of Dawn troll dropped me this:
If only the "Healing" and the "Scroll" would switch places:
Best drop so far:

So Ugly

2005-12-29T19:16:00.000-05:00

Two Posts in One Day!

2005-12-26T22:27:00.000-05:00

I have some more content to post from playing a few minutes ago, so if you haven't read the other boring post yet, it's below this one.

Do you think you're strong? Can you lift that two-handed sword the mighty lava golem drops? Can you wield an ancient great sword and slay giants with it? Did you pick up those 200 meat by accident? Well then, here's a challenge for you!

First, take the boat to Forgotten Island. From the starting area, go northwest and find these coordinates: (32824, 32763)
Located there is the heaviest spirit gem in all of Aden. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself!

The task of lifting that spirit gem was too difficult for me, so I went off hunting again. At one point, I passed this really mean elf. Really mean.

First of all, this is what a normal dead drake looks like:

So this elf ... I passed him and in a few seconds I saw what remained of his battle with the mighty forgotten island drake.

What happened to half of the drake!?!? Man, this elf ... Don't ask me what he did with the other half, I couldn't find it.

Small Update

2005-12-26T19:38:00.000-05:00

So people do read this:
Thanks!

I was on for most of Christmas day, but I only saw snow once. (Yes I did notice I spelled snow wrong)

This is the only noteworthy picture in terms of drops. This drake dropped three items, instead of the usual one.

More Forgotten Island

2005-12-24T16:39:00.000-05:00

About two days before event, I bought 69 31f scrolls because I thought I'd be hunting up there. Now I'm addicted to Forgotten Island, and I've already shuttled tons of supplies to there. So if anyone wants to buy 69 31f scrolls for 25k each or 7 wafers per scroll (assuming wafer is 3.5k each), whisper/mail AceVentura.

South Forgotten Island was very crowded, so I ditched it for the bugbear/king bugbear/troll/dark elf/harpy/griffon/drake area instead. I always thought that place was the most crowded in FI, but when I went there, there was only about two other people hunting there. I think I was getting more experience, and it was more fun to. It was more fast-paced and I made a lot more pots than I used because of Vampiric Touch. There isn't as much chance for a good drop there though, but I'm looking more for experience during this event.

Some screenshots:

I think that pays for all the wafers I used.

Another magical property of griffons: they can walk on water.

Until next time...

AceVentura out.

First Real Hunt of Event

First

Thanks for reading ^^

Today I decided to go to Forgotten Island. I didn't know what to expect, so I arrived at Forgotten Island with 330 orange potions, 20 mana potions, 20 wafers, 20 twigs, and 70 spirit gems. It was pretty crowded, but the spawn at south FI was pretty good. Since I was learning how to hunt the area with owlbears, dopplegangers, ghasts, ghast lords, arachnevils, arachnevil elders, basilisks, and drakes (AKA South Forgotten Island), I wasted a couple of time and pots, but as I progressed, I used less and less pots and I was actually gaining more than I was using. With -7x AC, all the monsters are really easy, even when I got mobbed by 2 arachnevils, two dopplegangers and 2 dark elves at the same time.

My hunt lasted 150 minutes and after that time, I had 220 oranges left, so that's pretty good. I'll probably stock up an alternate character with mana potions, sgems, and wafers and take that to FI so I don't have to make my elf leave.

Only drop I got:

Lastly, I took this screenshot before I logged off.

Wow These Morphs Rock

2005-12-21T22:23:00.000-05:00

Yeah seriously.

I need more knights in my life. I was hunting TOI 38f with my cousin, who is a knight, and it was like free exp. I only got about 2-4 shots per monster, while he did the rest. Damn black knights kill fast.

It's amazing how packed everywhere is. Only place I went to today with a manageable spawn was the first few floors of TOI (1f - 4f). TOI 31f - 39f was like NYC 8 AM in the morning. (Transit strike is still going on.)

It's kind of funny how a lot of shops are gone, and a friend told me bots are using the morphs too. LOL.

MTA TWU Transit Strike

2005-12-20T06:59:00.000-05:00

Today, the first New York City transit strike in 25 years is occuring. I should go to school, I can go to school, but I'm not going to go. =)

I'll probably play some Lineage and do all my college apps.

If anyones interested in my choices:
1 - University of Connecticut <--- talk to me if you go here!
2 - Carnegie Mellon University
3 - SUNY Binghamton
4 - St John's University

And another screenshot:

This pic is from March 29, 2005. I spent a good five minutes talking to these people, but they didn't respond. Then I checked the bloodpledge member window and they weren't on! Lineage ghosts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Screen Plus More

Digging through all my screenshots, seeing if there's anything worth posting. For a lot of pictures, I forget why I tyepd ctrl + p in the first place.

This is called luck.

9 +0 yumi -> 6 +7 yumi -> 4 +8 yumi -> 3 +9 yumi

Lastly, anyone reading this personally know anyone attending University of Connecticut?

First Post

First, a collage of pictures. Huge orc fighter spawn, first time I've seen salamander drop Magic Gems (6), 100,000,000 adena, 1/xxx hp, and pets!

On Friday night, I was hunting forest of dawn with my wolves, and I saw this guy! I hopped on to my cousin's character and managed to find him again. All his helpers drop 1k+ and normal boots, so it's a pretty nice group to end.

Lastly, the progress of my current project. It's strange how their HP ranges from 95 to 118.
