The servers did come back up last night in time for MistressDomino to get set up to sell "Wendy Bear pieces for 25k, and some Heaven Stones for you too!" Everything proceeded smoothly, and by the morning she'd not only sold a dozen heaven stones, she'd sold 241 assorted bear pieces too. Once again I don't know if the whole event for the bear pieces will end abruptly after tonight's normal scheduled maintenance downtime, but I'll try to have as few pieces left in my inventories as possible.
SirDarth made an early start, with the drake at level 25, and SirPerivale did join in a little later, with his horse at level 31. After coffee however Peri made way for MistressSabina, who of course headed for our favourite back room at Prokion Temple. Using the same 115% extra boost combination as yesterday for an hour, with plenty of mobbing, we got 322 skill points in the hour, and a total of 389 by continuing on for a while; 1211 pet points got added as well. That took the Guild Points total for the Discipline guild up to 3538, so we're more than halfway to getting the "guild message" skill.
The afternoon session involved Rage, Chuck, and the Sphinx types, which was all very straightforward. As it was an equal party, Chuck got rather more of a percentage boost - Rage added 13.38%, along with 8 skill points and 1374 pet points, while Chuck went up by 41.92%, and again 8 skill points. Chuck is also helped by having the 30% boost from a skill potion out of an Easter Egg, of course
My food break got rather postponed, though, with the usual Tuesday "Mad Monster Spawn" starting on Auzura-3 at five o'clock, UK time, and lasting over an hour. MistressSabina had taken the precaution of spending all her latest batch of skill points except 3, so didn't get any death penalty, which was just as well, as she died quite a few times. Some of those monsters are more than a hundred levels above her, after all! Her experience gain is capped, but her part in the killing of the many monsters meant that 82 more Guild Points were gained, with on the loot side seven skill point boosters, seven item drop boosters, three large attack potions, two large defence potions, and quite a few tool aids and health and mana recovery potions.
The games master involved, Stratos, announced that there would be a race afterwards, starting from the town's north gate... but what really happened was another monster spawn, to the annoyance of some people who had innocently been waiting on their mounts there. Me, I'm not quite that trusting. But GM Stratos loves us really, he assured us... kinda...
After the interval, it was time again for Rage and Chuck to head for the Sphinx area, accompanied this time by Ratel. I was slightly delayed by Acheron, or his rogue Archeon; unfortunately for him he didn't get round to asking to meet up until I had finally teleported out to join Ratel at the Sphinx Fighters. Not that it mattered, when I did happen to run in to him later, he found that Archeon's seven-day cool-down period after leaving a previous guild hadn't yet ended.
As usual, Ratel was excellent company, but he did have to leave at eight. XxXtigretonXxX was around for a little while, after that - she got too close to the Elite Sphinx Speer Man once when battling a Fighter, but luckily I saw what was happening and managed to pull it towards me. I think thta, even with a single Fighter at a time, she did come to a sticky end, as I did find that the Fighter in the middle of the area by the camp was at below half health once, presumably having returned to its position after winning the fight.
The session ended with Rage having added another 8.11%, and 827 pet points; she and Chuck each got another 3 skill points, while Chuck's experience gain of 23.88% was enough to move him up to level 46. This may well mean that a new skill is now available to learn, I'll need to get him along to the titan skill trainer tomorrow to check.
I didn't carry on late, as I wanted to transfer the latest loot, and all the Wendy Bear pieces, from my active characters across to MistressDomino. With her selling slots having been taken up with the bear pieces for the past few weeks, I see she is carrying 106 moonstones - and 273 moonstone boxes!
The only character that played the "rock paper scissors" game this evening was FoxChaser, who, by heroically losing twice, got her own schoolgirl costume, and a catapult-type "cover" for a bow too. However, just as I was moving the items into a logical line-up in her inventory, things started to refuse to be moved - yes, just before 9:30, UK time, we had another of our celebrated mass disconnections on Auzura-3. That meant a "rollback" when we reconnected, so FoxChaser had to do the "rock paper scissors" game again. She still managed to get the costume luckily, but the second set of bear pieces didn't get me the weapon cover, just a health potion.
SirDarth logged in and went out for a littleb late evening drake-levelling. The pet had recently reached level 27, so there was the 26th level of Armour Increase to learn - things would be simpler, mathematically, if pets started at zero rather than one. Darth had earlier opened two Pandora's Boxes, but both had just released the level 30 bandit-type Beasts.
With a good supply of the Wendy Bear pieces, MistressDomino set up shop in Auzura-1 for a while - not the whole night, but until the regular scheduled server maintenance, anyway. If the event does end then, well, I guess the remaining pieces will just get hidden away in storage, in case the event gets repeated. If you win eight rounds in a row, apparently you get the maximum prize of three heaven stones, but the odds against that are pretty high.
