Therapy

So, lately I've have a bad habit. I get bored of hunting, so I look through my storage and my alt chars and see what junks I have that I can blow. Last time, I blew a bunch of stuff in sacrafice for my ori daggers, and then the ori daggers both blew. That made me mad, so I took it out on my +8 DK Sword and luck gave me a +9. I wasn't angry after that.

Today, I decided to blow a bunch of shamshir, trying for a +10, but I also had some Two Handed Sword of Brave Lizardman Warrior and two Claw of Baranka. I really wanted a +9 out of at least one of those two items. Well, everything blew and I didn't get a single +9, which really frustrated me. So I did this...w00t indeed.

(sheepish chuckle)

Was having kind of a slow day so I decided to be an idiot....

Also, this place is kinda hard....

Starting tomorrow theres a double XP event so log in and get those levels!

Hell yes

Lately I've just been messing around, having given up much hope of improving 0mega. I leveled a prince to 50 just for fun, and tried to play my elf a bit but just find him a bit boring. Finally, he gave me a reason to like him...

+9 Power Gloves have been a huge goal of mine and I spent many hours trying just to gather PGs from 42f.

Today, Vici0sa (ty!) signed on and sold me 9 +0 PGs. I got impatient at the end of the night, blew about 5 bcomrs, then hit the PGs. The first blew, second went +7, the next 6 blew and the last one went +6. I blew the +6 because of course you have to. It blew up, so I hit the +7 and it went +8.

As you may be able to tell from my last post of pics, I blew a lot of stuff very recently, including +8 PG (along with +8iboot x 2, +8bcomr, +8elven shield and some other things). Since I basically went so badly with +8 items while drunk a few days before, I decided to hit the +8PG because I was just getting impatient. Finally, +9PG, my new favorite item.

That brings me to the cusp of my goal, which is to use my basic hunting gear (STR and Fire Resist Items) and still get -100 ac. Right now I can get -99AC with 35 STR, 86% MR, 100% Fire Resist. If I hit level 79, I will get a bonus ac and reach the goal of -100. Otherwise, I need +10red knight hood or shield, +8beleth boots, or +8valakas armor....not likely!

Mission Accomplished

I have always had a few specific goals in mind for my lineage playing days, and this was one of them:

Finally did it. Now, onto whatever is next. I think +9 Power Gloves is highest on my list of goals remaining.

Another Ronde Edo dropped recently, not to me, but to someone who can actually put it to good use. It's nice to see people continue to get stronger, even when they reach the apex of the game.

Hey everyone,

I've got some pictures to post up when I'm not at work. Just some shots of the various things that have been going on inside the WK lineage server for the last few weeks, plus a bit of my own progress. I'll update once I get out of the office.

Moving on...there is currently a karma event (!) taking place on the server. It began today and will continue through the 26th of July. This is the first karma event since I have been on the server, and I've been saving up all my fragments of soul stone just for this. All karma rewards (from turning in stones and from killing karma mops) are triple!

This may give a few dedicated hunters a chance to hit the elusive level 8 earring, although, in my opinion, the level 6,7,8 earring bonuses are not strong enough to represent just how difficult it is to obtain that much karma. For example, even with triple karma, it takes 4,375 fragments of soul stone to get from no karma, to level 8 karma. As a level 75+ deleveled knight, I've basically hunted over 120 levels, and haven't collected that many stones. It is a very difficult accomplishment, and in my humble opinion, the bonuses should get a little better as the difficultly level goes up.

In any event, the karma earrings from TOS are an absolute necessity for any player, and everyone should be aiming for at least level 5 earrings! Below is a breakdown of the karma earring bonuses. I recommend going for earring karma in TOS and upper SOE before trying to hunt Desire Cavern for the karma necklaces. The necklace bonuses aren't quite as good, and they prevent you from wearing a stat necklace like STR ammy or Black Wiz Ammy.

Level 1: Dancing Earrings, -1 AC
Level 2: Twin Earrings, -2 AC
Level 3: Festival Earrings, -3 AC
Level 4: Zenith Earrings, -3 AC, +25 HP, +10 MP
Level 5: Reckless Earrings, -3 AC, +50 HP, +25 MP
Level 6: Fantasy Horse Earrings, -3 AC, +50 HP, +25 MP, +2% Weight Reduction
Level 7: Clan Earrings, -3 AC, +50 HP, +25 MP, +5% Weight Reduction
Level 8: Slave Earrings, -3 AC, +50 HP, +25 MP, +10% Weight Reduction

Hey everyone

Hope you're all enjoying the 2x experience and drop event. Everyone seems to be doing well and having a good time. Population has been rather robust with lots of new players starting to take root, gear up and make good progress.

Not too much to report from my end, except that I used the event to finally motivate myself to level. I hadn't done any leveling for several months, and had actually seen my xp move backwards as I died a few times doing dumb things as per usual. I managed to gain about 30% this weekend, putting me at around 80% toward the next level. That's really the home stretch mentally for me, and I'll probably see it out until I hit the next useless stat point. After that, probably another month of screwing around with no progress.

I am working on making a +9 power glove, so if anyone wants to sell their ogre bloods to me, I'll buy em all. I figure I need about 500 (o.o) of them in order to have a real shot at +9. So far I've saved up about 19.
