Two Tombs at Once

MistressDomino had done some very useful selling overnight, increasing my available gold on Auzura nicely. However, the new day started with the usual attendance allowance half hours, and then, once everyone else except MistressDomina had been sorted out, MistressSabina went off to Maargadum Jail, with MistressBlaze providing the solo party while she mined a few quality stones.

After the usual mob of canines at the back of the first floor were dealt with, Sabina headed down to the third level, which was free - though at about the halfway point she did get joined by a titan. He did ask for a party, but he was only level 34, so I had to say that partying with him would reduce my skill point gain too much.

As before, I did use the small HP recovery potions, and some small health potions, to keep Sabina healthy. The outing did come to a slightly early end, but by then MistressSabina had added 24.40% experience, 84 skill points, and 945 pet points.

The reason the session ended early was because a player had come into the forum shoutbox, wondering if there was anyone of a suitable level to give him a combat party in the Tomb of Theos. When he mentioned he was on Cariae-5 and level 111, and assured me that he did have recall, I quickly volunteered Barbarienne, who is now level 107. Once you get over 110, you really need someone a few levels lower in your party to let you get the most out of the top-end Tomb monsters

So, MistressBlaze logged out on the older computer, and Barbarienne logged in, registered for a combat party, got recruited by TitanLove, and accepted the recall to the Sphinx Commander room. Barb quickly moved across to the position on its outer ring almost opposite the entrance, where the commies never go - but, with a lower-level party member, TitanLove decided to move to the Anubis Spear Men. He quickly recalled me there - I was amazed how quickly, in fact, but actually he'd just moved to the corridor leading to the commie's grave room.

He suggested that I should equip a P2 type pet if I had one, so, after logging MistressBlaze out, Keerella logged in, joined the party, and took recall, and passed SkrappY across to Barbarienne. Kee couldn't stay, of course, as she is more than ten levels below TitanLove. I found that SkrappY's starvation had reached zero, and his sincerity was a bit low too, but they were soon restored, as Kee had passed over her stock of freshly baked bread too.

The level 103 titan Eonzar joined the combat party too, and also stood in the corner. Unfortunately he had a first-stage jaguar, so the pet experience got shared for a while. He stayed in the party, but after lunch went off to level his jaguar more directly on the wafes...and got to kill Kamira too, before returning to us.

As the older computer was busy with Barbarienne standing in a corner of that Cariae-5 Tomb corridor, MistressDomina went to the Auzura-5 Tomb of Theos solo in the afternoon, where there were plenty of familiar faces already hard at work, including godofbeasts, who gave her a further present including some potions and a P2 Pet Battle Book. It wasn't too long before Octfilipe28 arrived and we made a combat party, though; she has now reached level 85.

The Cariae party ended eventually, having lasted over lunch and well into the afternoon; just by standing there, Barbarienne had gained 1.12% experience and 12 skill points, and ol' SkrappY had moved on a bit through his 53rd level. Once Barb logged out, my Auzura archer Kaerella was able to log in...and she hurried to join MistressDomina in the Auzura Tomb of Theos, for the last part of the afternoon.

I stopped playing a little early, as I wanted to be back fighting as close to the start of the next "dungeon time" hour as possible, but MistressDomina had gone up by 9.93%, 5 skill points, and 1828 pet points, getting her drake into level 42, while Kaerella, in less than an hour, was up by 2.30%, 1 skill point... and the polar bear cub was up 39.96%, getting him into level 29.

Kae and MD stayed in the Tomb over the food break, safely back beyond the teleporter, and then returned to the battle for a full-length evening session, though Octfilipe28 had left by then. As usual MistressDomina made a point of taking chasing zombies off anyone who was fleeing for their life - I get the feeling that without her efforts, there would have been more zombies back at the other end of the corridor than in their main room. I can't be sure if hellboy92 was just unlucky, but he seemed to bring multiple zombies rather often - I can be sure that Morta was being mischievous, though, at one point he was bringing three or four zombies back faster than MistressDomina could cope with them, and admitted to doing it just because he was bored. There were a few times when big groups were brought back, but I always managed to unequip the polar bear cub in time, and Kaerella was able to join in the fight as well as giving healing.

It was quite a lengthy session, and it not only included two "dungeon time" hours, it also included most of the day's "Turbo" event, which, we eventually worked out, was double experience and skill points. The two experience boosts seemed to stack, and, when the amount of ks-ing was low, MD was getting almost three times as much experience per kill as the base rate. MistressDomina was therefore able to add 28.89% in level 91, as well as 3905 pet points, while Kaerella went up by 12.57%, taking her into level 90. The polar bear cub moved on to level 30, adding 114.43%, and both Kae and MD gained 13 skill points.

So, my archer Kaerella will now need to learn her level 90 passive skill, the sixth and final level of Force Arrow, increasing her attack and defence by a further 10 and 30 respectively, for 700 skill points. And MistressDomina will be able to have her drake learn another level of its magical attack boost. The polar bear might well be able to learn a new skill, but I'm leaving that side of things until he can "evolve" into his second, bigger, stage. And I'll have to try to do some more shopping, mainly for Chuck's next weapon and armour...
