The Tomb & The Temple

I did manage to set up SirPerivale for a while in the morning against his usual Berserker, using a second platinum pet potion to speed up the final level for his horse, before breakfast, and after that SirDarth got his second pan flute exchanged for a level 1 pony, and went out to fight the Butchers and start its levelling.

Kaerella did manage a fairly short morning session with the Sphinx types, and added 13.77% experience, 9 skill points and 446 pet points; she picked up a level 56 tiara and a level 53 crossbow, which might be worth selling on the Merchant House system.

Stavanic logged on for his usual pre-school playing time, and told me that his friend no longer needs that horse mane, so the life of the level 10 pony has been saved - instead, I get to level it up a bit more for his second knight to use.  By the time he told me that I'd got the new pony up to level 5, which is handy, as it means this one has become the next candidate for SirDarth's levelling - a horse for Darth to use himself when he adds a few levels, gets his skill points, and leaves the pet levelling behind.

It was just after two o'clock, UK time, when our current horse, the one for MrChuckNorris my titan, reached level 37.  So, amidst widespread rejoicing, the horse was transferred across to Chuck, who, after passing some tool aids across, turned it into a mount, set up the level 10 horse buffs, and, in theory at least, rode off into the sunset, or maybe dawn.

SirPerivale then used his stock of thirty tool aids to mine some quality stones, after buying thirty knight-type pickaxes from Merchant Geres - he now has over 1200 quality stones, which should last for a while, or at least until the new horse gets to a high level.  SirDarth traded the level 5 pony across to Peri, before settling in to level up Stavanic's pony some more with the Butchers.  Maybe it will reach a high enough level tomorrow to give him enough Armour Increase buff to move back to the Berserkers?

Once Peri was logged out, Kaerella was able to log in, and, just starting to head towards the Sphinxsters, was contacted by Corbenik - so we met out there in Dratan, and teamed up.  Before too long another archer arrived, ANGELOFSKY, in a higher-level armour set than me, and suggested a team-up once she'd checked our levels.  She was level 62, we found once we were all in the same party; and when she suggested we could move across to the Tomb of Theos, we readily agreed.

The three of us did pretty well, though Angel did have a tendency to stand and fight, which with the level 100 Screaming Zombies isn't too good an idea.  She did die once; later she mentioned that she has a high-level knight on the Katar server, which may explain why she didn't automatically run to the wall when a zombie headed for her.  And I reached level 54!

A level 68 knight called ChaosKnight7 joined us, but he "capped" Corbenik, being more than 15 levels above him, so Corbenik gracefully bowed out, heading for the Randol Arena for a change.  And having such a high-level "tank" was great... except that he vanished after no more than three zombies, leaving Angel and me a bit stuck.  Maybe he got a disconnection, which happens in the Tomb more than it does in most places, or maybe he just has a short attention span.

So, not having a "stun" skill, Angel and I headed back to the Sphinx types, and had a great time owning them there, with two bows in action even the Elite Sphinx Speer Man was pretty much helpless against us.  I continued for just a few minutes after she finally left, to get the last few pet points needed to get SirFrancis up to level 32, and then took my food break.  The total experience gain for the afternoon had reached 51.98%, along with 14 skill points and 798 pet points.

Angel very kindly gave me a level 66 healer shirt, and with any luck we will be able to team up on not just Sphinx Fighters, but Egeha's Bogles, or even Boucu Demons, some time soon, though when she suggested the Demons I had to say that Kae hadn't yet been to Egeha, and so did not have the Boucu Demon spot on her memorising scroll.

For the evening, it seemed a good opportunity to give MistressDomina an all expenses paid trip to Prokion Temple.  I'd got Ratel, our friendly Norcaine guild master, to unfreeze her experience gain a day or too ago, so the idea is to level her up from 23 to 27, and pass over the level 30/32 armour and +13 level 29 weapon that Kae used for sp farming there, so that MD will be ready to roll.  Or ought she to wait until Chuck has finished with his +15 weapon?

So, MistressDomina had a good long session with the Orc Soldiers and the Orc Fighters, mainly, and went up from high in level 23, to fairly low in level 26 - 222.07% experience gain, in all.  She added 305 skill points, helped along by the Blessed Rewards, so that, with the 162 she was already carrying, when she returned to Randol she was able to get most of her level 25 skills - she still needs the top three levels of Anti-magic, though (permanently increases magical defence), which will take another 210 sp.  Still, getting the whole of Fast Spell Casting (10% quicker spell refresh speed) and Scud ("Personal buff skill that increases your attack speed by decreasing your offense speed, thus allowing you to attack faster. Does not work on other players."), plus a third level of Flame Storm, increasing its power from 130 to 190, can't be bad.  Oh, she gained 2266 pet points, as well.

The next step will be for Kae to hand the armour and weapon across. MD won't be able to wear the headgear and boots until she reaches level 27, but the rest just needs Collector Ryu to convert it from healer stuff to the mage equivalents, and MistressDomina will become a good deal more powerful.  Those Orc Axemen had better watch out...
