The older computer had some new update to install when I switched it off last night, so it's just as well I wasn't attempting to leave SirGalahad at work, as a restart would probably have sneaked up on him later. Still, he started up again before breakfast, and kept going until after coffee, moving the horse on a bit more on its journey through level 33.
Aeria have revamped the Last Chaos "Loot Wheel", removing some of the booby-prize type possible wins, so that spinning the wheel for about a dollar, or 99 aeria points, is now a more tempting thing to do. And to celebrate, they announced that each account today would be allowed a free spin. Well, you need to spend your 99 aeria points, but in a few days you'll get a rebate of 100 of them, which seems a good deal to me. It is generous of them to make it "one per account", rather than cautioning players with multiple accounts only to play once... and I wasted little time in taking advantage of their generosity. Sadly, I didn't hit the grand prize, which was a polar bear pet, but there were some nice other possibilities now, and I now have a bit more item mall stuff over on Tairen than I did before.
After coffee, Rage headed for Tairen-1's Prokion Temple, though I got delayed a bit with helping a new Singapore-based healer, Janie, to get to Jajan in Dratan to claim her dragon hatchling, and trying to give a few tips about the game. RedRyder joined Rage once she was in the Temple, for a bit of Combat-type party teaming. A level 21 titan called NightWarrior managed to get a few free small health potions from me, though when he asked for money I suggested that the orcs were a better source - or that he should do the quests available in Randol, and get Lorraine to open his "event" treasure chests, which ought to cheer up his financial situation.
Rage fought orc soldiers and orc fighters, which despite the Elizabeth's Enhancement buff didn't give a huge amount of experience, but kept to a reasonable ratio of skill exp to experience. As the non-fighting party member Red's experience gain was nicely lower, of course. By the end of the not very lengthy session Rage had gone up 12.73%, 94 skill points and 72 guild points, while RedRyder was up by just 3.17%, 90 skill points, and 12 guild points. Discipline's guild point total had topped 6,000 yesterday, so SirGalahad was now able to get the "Guild Notice" skill. The next thing to get will be the first level of "Expension of the number of guild member", for which a further 2,000 guild points will be needed, as well as some gold.
Just before lunch I remembered to transfer some more quality stones across from Rage to SirGalahad, to keep his horse fed, and then Gal went back to Maargadum Jail. He stayed there slightly longer than the usual lunch break, which allowed the horse to reach level 34 before Gal logged out again, and RedRyder logged back in, to join Rage back in Prokion Temple once more.
NightWarrior was around again, and on the cadge; I let him have a +1 level 27 titan helmet Rage was carrying, probably dropped by the elite sand golem, and I bought a couple of moonstone boxes he had picked up for 45,000 each, which is what I had sold some for recently. I didn't give him any gold, though, he ought to be able to earn it for himself by the time he's added a few levels in the Temple.
I managed to get Rage to level 32 before the end of the session; she went up by 17.94% in all, and after she levelled up the skill exp to experience ratio for the orc axemen seemed almost as good as for orc fighters, so perhaps I need to find a new spot that mixes those two types. She added 135 skill points; back in Randol almost all her stash of sp got spent on learning all five levels of the passive skill Sharpen, which increases her chance of making a critical hit, which hurts a monster twice as much as an ordinary blow. Rage added 105 more guild points too. RedRyder, meanwhile, had added 5.38%, 134 skill points, and 20 guild points.
SirGalahad headed back to Maargadum Jail's fifth level for the food break and beyond. The room actually got pretty busy for a while, with the titan moonwalker89 joined by a rogue called buttugly, who was even able to take down the beast crawlers without any great effort. Gal stayed there for the evening session, while Kaerella logged in over on Cariae-1, with the elite akane giant in mind.
And that's how the evening passed. I found someone listed as wanting a party, and we started our own, which bluray joined later - he left just before I did, in the end. The session was so long I had to return to Randol to get the Elizabeth's Enhancement buff re-applied; Kamira snubbed me, I'm afraid, and didn't appear, but Kae added 26.45%, and gained exactly 200 skill points. And Kaerella's drake, SirFrancis, at last reached level 48, having added 2403 pet points, so that was a bit of a milestone. A lot of akane giants perished over the course of the evening, and the elite akane giant died a lot, though he only dropped one good item, a +4 crossbow. There were a couple of heaven stones, and plenty of moonstone boxes, but as usual there the most common drops were haste potions and small healing pots, Kae will have to get rid of those as a big stack of such things, even if they only weigh 3 each, can get a bit heavy.
SirGalahad kept busy on Tairen-1 meanwhile, getting the horse past the halfway point in level 34. There are still a few more days to go, but it won't be too long before both my Tairen rogues have level 37 mounts, it seems.
