Levelling Up with the Mummies

Once again Tuffsen pounced on me, before I was even in-game thanks to the " Meebo" messenger system that is at the bottom of Aeria web pages, and bundled me into Last Chaos, on Cariae-4, before ten o'clock on the Sunday morning. RedRydeR took the Recall to join her in the ancient grey mummies room right away - but Kaerella had to mine some quality stones first, so bought 17 hammers, and headed for the mining area.

It wasn't long before Kaerella went in too, and we got down to the serious business of grinding away on the ancient grey mummies. Tuffsen wasn't feeling very well today, but managed to stay around for a while in a non-afk way, until her polar bear HOMER had reached level fifty of his second stage - and was thus ready to be evolved into the third, and largest, type of polar bear, a Nanook. She returned the pbi she had borrowed yesterday.

Kaerella managed to do a power hour from eleven to twelve, using the 50% experience boost from the dungeon time then. As well as the platinum blessed iris and the platinum adrenaline and a crit potion she used the berserker and power potions too, for the full set, and managed to get through 38 experience boosters during the hour. This gained her 31.17% experience, along with 11 skill points and 1023 pet points, which seemed pretty good, and took Kaerella safely into level 96.

NaOmi the level 100 archer joined us in the room, but was giving a new apprentice a bit of power-levelling, so wasn't able to join our combat party right away. She was in the party by the time the two to three o'clock dungeon time hour started, and very kindly helped Kaerella with her next power hour, by twice getting a group of four or five ancient grey mummies together, getting their health down to about 10% , and using a "return to town" scroll - then teleporting back and paying to enter the Tomb again, and running to our room. That meant that Kaerella was able to get through 46 experience boosters in that hour, so that 33.42% was gained in level 96, plus 12 skill points and 1053 pet points.

The work continued, with Kaerella remembering to give everyone the Charm or Encourage buffs. I was back just in time from the early evening food break to do a third power hour from five until six o'clock, UK time. This time BadFairy (Tuffsen's specialist sorcerer) was in action, and so was able to give NaOmi Recall when she assisted Kae again, and that meant that rather more conveniently she was able to do some similar work, so that 45 more ancient grey mummies got killed, with boosters active. 32.44% experience was earned, plus 15 skill points and 1030 pet points.

The session ended at around 8:15; NaOmi had already gone off to help some of her guildies, and Tuffsen was feeling too tired to go to the quiz, though she did turn up in the shoutbox later. By then, Kaerella had added in all 101.27%, 83 skill points, and 8731 pet points. RedRydeR hadn't used any potions, and had just kept fighting; instead of being 12% ahead of Kae, she was now 70% behind her, having added 18.23%, 85 skill points, and 9050 pet points. She too did reach level 96 - and her drake levelled up too, to reach 44. The large-size polar bear Nanook just managed to reach level 13 of its final stage by the end.

The Sunday Quiz went smoothly on Auzura-2, where MistressDomina and Kaerella went as usual. There was no sign of Ratel, though the Twisted guild chat was pretty busy, and a few members were in the room. The lag afterwards seemed worse than average, so that MD using a "return to town" scroll took ages, and MistressDomino logging in there to receive the loot took a while as well, complete with "timed out" messages. Still, the items got transferred - and then RedRackham and CaptainScarlet logged in on Auzura-4, and were able to do some levelling, on their 42 and 32 drakes, for a nice relaxing end to the day.
