One Long Session


The double pet experience was switched off last night before the end of RedRackham's time online, but his drake still made some useful progress. When he logged out its health was at 30%, as that's all you get when the animal trainer "unseals" it, so it would be nice to get it to level up again, and automatically go back to 100%, I thought.

Today I wasn't able to play properly until the evening, but I could at least get the usual half hours of attendance allowance sorted out. One character I didn't want to play, though, was MistressSabina - since she is currently focussed on farming skill points from the beast flyers in Maargadum Jail, extra experience is something she doesn't need. I didn't mind the 3% bonus for most of her session yesterday, but I don't want it to get much bigger than that. She could however log in for a few minutes to get rid of loot, as long as she's offline again within thirty minutes.

MrChuckNorris even managed to get 10,000 gold from a Pandora's Box, on his way back to town. He gave the Battle Roar 2 to a junior titan out there, HeavensWarLord, who admired his armour. "Your look - awesome!" He also said "I wish to be like you one day", which rather made Chuck's morning. MistressSabina did log in briefly after that, to make some room in her inventory, and was lucky enough to get five heaven stones from one of her five spins of the Lacarette wheel.

After that, RedRackham logged in, and hurried to the fifth floor of Maargadum Jail on Auzura-4. for a bit of pet-levelling. He was able to keep going over lunch and through the afternoon, and the drake did manage to level up, returning it to 100% health.

The evening session saw MistressDomina and Kaerella, plus the polar bear cub, heading for the Tomb of Theos on Auzura-5 again, and there isn't a whole lot more to say about it. Lots of familiar names were there, and a few newcomers. We arrived just in time for the boosted "dungeon time" hour for five until six, and were still hard at work during the next one, from eight to nine, and beyond - and from around seven a "Happy Hour" event meant that there was double experience and skill points too.

Level 92 is slow going for MistressDomina; but then, I'm not really attempting to level her up at present. For that she'd need to follow Chuck's example, and go to the anubis spear men, with pots and experience boosters etc. She added just 11.86%, and her drake gained 3910 pet points, while Kaerella, in the equal party, added 34.89% in level 90. They each gained 15 skill points, and the polar bear cub went up by 95.99%, which was just enough to get him into level 34.

There were times when there seemed to be masses of screaming zombies around, but I don't think any were brought in maliciously. Kaerella did unequip the poly a couple of times, to be safe, but generally all went smoothly. There was slight drama in the forum shoutbox, with some created-today accounts insulting the gamesages and GMs and generally spamming, but Aeria_ks1lent showed up pretty quickly, and got rid of them.

So, a rather short posting today. I doubt if I'll be able to play actively tomorrow morning, but there should at least be afternoon and evening sessions to report on then.
