It's not something I'd want to do, or be able to do, often, but both SirPerivale and CaptainScarlet pet-levelled through the night, so that when I checked in the morning the starvation-bars of both Cap's drake and Peri's pale blue pony were down to 10%. It was lucky I didn't oversleep! That certainly got the new pony off to a good start, gaining about nine levels - the drake gained two levels, as well.
The talk of a day each of 50% extra experience, skill exp and so on sounds simple in theory, but in fact the "day" doesn't change at midnight, which, for PST on America's West Coast, would mean 8:00 am in the UK... it seems that it changes when the Aeria people get into the office at ten in the morning, which for the UK is six in the evening.
So, for most of the time today it was still "yesterday", which meant 50% extra experience. Which meant that it seemed like a good idea not to head for Prokion Temple after coffee, for a change; instead MistressDomina logged in instead of Peri, made a solo party with Cap, and headed for those Sphinx types out in Dratan's south-western corner.
It wasn't a very long session, but the main thing was that adding 9.84% experience got MD to level 51, so that she could wear the two main pieces of the 55/57 mage armour set. After all the black leather costumes, it makes a change to actually slip into something purple, and, well, a bit more feminine. 3 skill points got added too, and 312 pet points. I stayed just long enough for one armour piece to be ready to accept a bloodseal gem, and then headed back to town.
After lunch. MistressDomina went back, and took MrChuckNorris with her. It isn't worth her reaching her next level, 52, if Chuck doesn't reach 62, as until then he needs to wear the headgear and boots from the 55/57 set, since we skipped one set. He does actually have the level 62 boots and headgear he could use instead, but they are only +5, so not as good as the level 57 +8 ones...
The place was a bit busier, with the rogue MissNatashA hard at work, and other people coming and going. There was a team of four people from one guild, taking on the Elite Sphinx Speer Man... something went wrong for them, though, and I looked round to see three of them dead, and their archer taking cover behind the fence, so I finished it off for them. The big guy does hit hard; he may give three times as much experience, but boy does he make you work for it.
After a while I got to thinking that, with the 50% extra experience still running, it was perhaps a good time to start a new character, with a view to getting them to level 31 over the next week or so. So, once MD had added another 8.86% experience, 4 skill points, and 447 pet points, and Chuck had got 5.46% and 3 skill points, they left the scene.
CaptainScarlet logged back in, and was soon in a solo party, while he pet-levelled, with a new healer called Memree - a name I did use over on the Cariae server, but just for a minor mage. With the 50% extra experience, getting from level 1 in the starter dungeon to level 7 out with the berserk wolves didn't take long, which is the first stage.
SirPerivale's previous recent levelling efforts had got him almost halfway through level 22, so the next item on the agenda was to take him to Prokion Temple to die a few times - after he'd invested his 6 unused skill points in a minor skill. The Orc Sergeants in a room just off the main hallway were only too happy kill Peri, who lost 3% experience each time, until he was back to 0% of the way into level 22.
After that, SirPerivale and Memree teamed up to fight the Berserkers, and a few Bandits, in Merac, and by the time that my food break was due, Memree had reached level 14. Peri then unequipped his sword and went back to pet-levelling, joined by Cap, until I was back.
By six o'clock, when the 50% extra experience ended, Memree was approaching halfway through level 16, so my timing was pretty good. That last half level may have taken a few extra minutes, but probably added an extra skill point, since the 50% skill exp boosts had now started. By the time he logged out, Peri had added 41.22% experience and 3 skill points, as well as helping his pale blue pony up a level.
Now that she was level 17, Memree borrowed the mount that CaptainScarlet was storing, and rode out to Prokion Temple, to get its location onto her memory scroll - stopping at Shuraine's oasis along the way of course. She also borrowed a 20/22 healer armour set, and a level 21 bow.
My level 32 witch MistressSabina borrowed the best level 30/32 mage costume, and the three accessories, from MistressBlaze, and then teamed up with Memree - to head for the Auzura-3 Prokion Temple, where, thankfully, my favourite back room was ready and waiting.
It was Sabina's task to get Memree from level 17 to 22, which she managed reasonably quickly. They each got 188 skill points, and Sabina added 19.11%, along with 1077 pet points.
As I'd done with JohnWellington, at that point Sabina traded across the best mage armour, and the three accessories, to Memree, and logged out; MistressBlaze then logged in, and hurried to Prokion Temple. Memree traded the items across to her, and the Orc-bashing continued until it was time to finish for the day. MistressBlaze added 5.96%, so is almost three-quarters of the way through level 37 now. She and Memree each added 140 more skill points, while Memree went up 157.54%, taking her comfortably into level 23 now.
Memree completed the Guardian system quickly enough, anyway, gaining her healer "event weapon" bow - so that's another ten reputation points for Kaerella. It may take a while to get her, and JohnWellington, to level 31, so let's hope that the "Player Appreciation" event doesn't end any time soon.
By the time he logs out tonight, SirPerivale will have got that new pale blue pony most of the way through level 15, so it will probably become a larger-size horse, at level 16, before breakfast tomorrow. I'd better not try to level through the night again, that older computer needs some rest I'm sure. Cap's drake is comfortably into level 27 now, and he may well try another overnight session.
