Nine "Power Hours"

Today I did manage to fit in two "power hours" with the ancient grey mummies before lunch for MistressDomina on Auzura-4; she made her solo party with CaptainScarlet, who was pet-levelling in Maargadum Jail again. RedRackham had been down there for just under a couple of hours, too, until he had to log out to make way for MD.

The place was unusually quiet; the first hour saw MistressDomina use 72 skill point boosters, to earn exactly 400 skill points, along with 0.76% experience and 1077 pet points, while the second hour, with a bit of speeded-up killing from an "ignition" 90 seconds, had 75 boosters used, for 416 skill points, 1.12% experience, and 1077 pet points again.

The afternoon was quiet too; three more hours got fitted in, with no problems. 76 boosters gained MistressDomina 422 skill points, as well as 0.82% and 1070 pet points, and then MD actually got up to 80 boosters, for 443 skill points, along with 1.17% and 1060 pet points, thanks to a level three "ignition". The third hour of the afternoon managed 81 boosters, for 450 skill points, plus 0.85% and 1074 pet points... and then it was time for the food break.

MistressDomina stayed in the ancient grey mummies room over the break; I did restart the game on the older computer, though, so CaptainScarlet had to log out and then return to his death mask lancer. As the mummies room was still quiet, I had no excuse not to continue, so the next hour began - MD used 70 boosters this time, without any ignition, which brought in just 388 skill points, along with 0.94% and 1515 pet points... just after halfway through, the dungeon time ended, and double pet experience was switched on. That was, in all, the sixth hour of the day; the seventh hour saw MD use 78 skill point boosters, for 433 skill points, plus 0.82% and 2120 pet points.

Well, I was there, the room was still unusually quiet, and the double pet experience was good, so I began an eighth hour, during which 75 more boosters were used, and 416 more skill points were earned, along with 0.97% and 2114 pet points, which got MD's drake into level 48. And then, well, there was just time for a ninth hour, during which, thanks to another level 3 ignition sequence, and a level 1 one right at the end, 83 boosters got used, for 460 skill points, plus 1.02% and 2122 pet points.

So, that made nine "power hours" in all, not something I'd wish to make a habit of. 690 skill point boosters were used in all, to give MistressDomina 3828 skill points, and 8.47% experience was gained. MD now has a cache of 30k skill points...but I guess that she could still do with some more. I think we must be past the halfway point for sp farming on the ancient grey mummies, anyway, so that it won't be too long before she can turn her attention back to a bit of levelling.

MistressDomina logged out, leaving the solo party, which at that stage included Twisted guildie Rhan as well as CaptainScarlet, so RedRackham was able to join up too, and head back to the second death mask lancer, to take advantage of the double pet experience. That was ended pretty soon after ten o'clock, UK time, however - but by the time they logged out, Red's drake was not much more than a couple of hours away from the top of level 40, and CaptainScarlet's drake had reached level 30.
