The Guild Upgraded

There was another fairly early start for SirDarth, back to levelling our own current horse now; the horse, which I suppose we should call "she" as it becomes a "Knight Mare" when turned into a mount, reached level 21 during the morning - and after getting close to level 22 at the end of lunch, got there while I was on my early evening food break.

After coffee I managed to fit in a trip to Prokion Temple for MistressSabina, the guild master of Discipline; my favourite room was ready and waiting, so a super skill pill and a skill pill were started, and I settled in for an hour of ruthlessly mobbing the Orc Sergeants and Orc Axemen.  Yesterday with a 215% boost the hour gave me 533 skill points; with a 115% boost instead, 364 sp would be what one would expect from the same number of kills, but in fact I got 417 skill points, or 444 for the full session, so I did pretty well.  The 417 actually returned me to exactly the number of points I'd had before spending some on skills yesterday, which was rather neat.

The end of the hour saw Sabina on 96.68% of level 29, so it only took a few more minutes to reach level 30 - the total experience gain for the session was 85.78%, while 1019 pet points also got added.  Back in town, I was able to visit the Royal Guard Captain, and use 240 skill points and 1,000,000 in gold to upgrade Discipline to level five... and then use 500 skill points and 2,000,000 in gold to get the guild to level six, which allows the guild master to freeze the experience gain of members.  So, MistressSabina's experience gain is now frozen, as is MistressDomino's, and new recruit Foxchaser's.  The next time Sabina farms some skill points, she will start collecting Guild Points, which are needed for any further guild level increases or skills.

Sabina spent the rest of her skill points on, naturally enough, skills, though I didn't keep enough for the fourth and final level of Flame Storm, which is now available for her.  I must get that next time, and also max out the other skills.  

By then, lunch was getting near, so Sabina logged out, and MistressDomino logged in to do some selling.  The main part of the break just saw her sell seven Wendy Bear parts at 40,000 gold each, but then I had a sudden rush of business, and almost sold out, so that in all 75 pieces got sold, bringing in exactly the 3,000,000 I'd spent on guild upgrading.

For the afternoon, Rage and Chuck headed for the Sphinx types again, and Chuck started one of the week-long 30% experience boost potions.  SugaRuSH was there too, but I was the one who got partied up with a level 36 royal knight called Alexanderdgreat.  I suppose it must have been his computer or his connection, but he was the worst fighter I've ever come across.  I'd target a Sphinx Speer Man, and if he reacted, he'd rush to where the Man had been, he'd almost never actually attack it.  And he'd often attract the attention of another nearby Sphinx type.   Well, at least he gave me the Divine Shield buff most of the time... Towards the end Alexaaaander95, another (no relation) knight turned up, but he was just level 25 or 26, so had to just "ks" from outside the party.

Anyway, Chuck did manage to level up, and by the end of the session was level 39, with four more stat points invested in Strength; his total experience gain was 80.35%, and he and Rage both gained a skill point as well.  Rage went up 15.21%, which isn't bad, for her level there, and also added 1090 pet points.

Darth did some pet-levelling, and Chuck did some herb farming, over the food break - but then it was time for Rage and Chuck to go back to their friends the Sphinx types.  And it was quite a party - Legacy got in touch just before I started, so was there from the start, and BatCow joined us this time too.  Giving part of the pooled experience gain to Chuck for just sitting there may be a slight down side, but on the other hand, Rage's higher level, better armour, and ability to supply horse buffs do give an up side to a teaming.  

Later on a level 39 titan called MADOC joined us, though he did tend to run around with less than 50% health.  Apparently he'd run out of health potions, but it is easy enough to return to town, buy a few, and teleport back, it would only take a minute or two.  A level 31 ranger called MRASASIN was too low to join the party, but we let her ks a bit, and she reached level 32.  I think most people levelled up, in fact.  Rage reached level 51, adding another 41.17%, plus 2081 pet points, and she and Chuck each got 2 shiny new skill points.  Chuck reached not only level 40, but, right at the end, level 41, going up 185.64% in that session.

MistressDomino went back into merchant mode, and sold out of Wendy Bear pieces rather quickly - somebody bought all 112 of them, at 40,000 gold each, so that was an easy 4.480,000 gold - I know other people do charge more, I just can't think of them as so very valuable.  The special Wendy Bear event may end tomorrow, when the servers go down for their weekly maintenance, or it may continue for another week, who can tell?  SirDarth did a little more late night pet levelling, getting his horse halfway through level 22 now.

So, it was quite a productive day, with MistressSabina, Rage, MrChuckNorris, Darth's horse, and the Discipline guild all levelling up.  We will definitely have to think about getting new armour and weapons for Rage and Chuck; Chuck's armour, at least, will be Rage's previous set; there is a 55/57 healer set that Rage could convert, too, but it's not as highly upgraded as her present armour, so will need some work done on it if it is to give more defence than her current red "lion-tamer" style costume.
