SirPerivale and CaptainScarlet did manage to do perhaps three hours of pet-levelling in the morning, but after coffee it was time for MistressSabina and Memree to head for Prokion Temple on Auzura-3, to take advantage of the 50% extra experience and skill exp, which were still running from last night. It isn't really a huge advantage, that particular combination; some of my characters will benefit from extra experience, and some from extra skill exp, but all a combination of the two does is speed things up a bit.
Anyway, the action in the back room at Prokion Temple was the usual kind of thing. My lunch break was again a bit shorter than usual, and Sabina and Memree waited patiently in the room there for me to return. Grabnar arrived at around ten to two, accompanied by an archer who didn't say anything (except one speech that was just dashes and quotation marks); she didn't stay very long, and he had to leave after half an hour, presumably to get ready for school. Finally, not long after three in the afternoon, UK time, Memree reached level 31, and the +10 armour set and the two weapons arrived in her inventory. In all Memree had added 154.13% experience, and another 372 skill points.
MistressSabina set Memree's experience gain to 50%, now that she had reached her target - which means that all Discipline guild members are on that, now, since we need more guild points. Then Memree logged out - and my sorcerer-in-training, JohnWellington, logged in.
As his current less-than-impressive armour only gives John 369 physical defence, and he doesn't have a horse to supply the attack and defence "hauling" buffs, getting him from the Prokion Temple entrance hall along the corridors and through various rooms full of Orcs, to join Sabina, was a bit tricky. I used a potion of haste, and three small health potions along the way, but he got to his destination safely.
The "day" was scheduled to change at 6:00 pm, so until then, except for another shorter-than-average food break, MistressSabina was able to level up John a bit. The announcement of the change was on time - but it was seven or eight minutes past the hour before the bonus was actually changed to double experience, with skill exp returning to normal.
JohnWellington had added 50.58% experience by then (with his experience gain set to 50%), and gained 182 guild points for Discipline, plus 158 skill points for himself, so he is now in level 28. When we have our day of double skill exp, we will work on him some more, we might even "unfreeze" his experience gain for an hour or two.
MistressSabina had added 44.44% experience with Memree, and another 19.46% with John; like Memree, she had gained 372 skill points while teamed up with her, followed by 3 points while John was on his way, and 158 with John. She had also gained 695 guild points in all.
Once the "day" had changed, it was time to leave Prokion Temple, so instead, moving across to Auzura-4, it was MistressDomina and MistressBlaze who teamed up, and headed for the Sphinx types, out in the sunshine.
Ratel was already there, and very kindly teamed up, even though MistressBlaze wouldn't be doing anything to earn her share of the experience. So, MD and Ratel settled into their routine there. We did get other people coming along from time to time, but Ratel's handy teleport skill meant we got our share of the Elite Sphinx Speer Man. Ratel let one rogue into our party to share in the buffs, and then leave, a few times, but we didn't want to enlarge the party, three was enough.
Ratel used a number of potions, including one of the 30% experience boost ones, which did "stack" with the double experience we were getting, so that he got about 825k experience per Elite, compared to MD's 625k. That ran out before the end of the session, so that MD kept a narrow lead over him. Ratel mentioned that he had been warned not to use a Blessed Iris today, since it would not stack with the event.
One visitor we had was Kamira; luckily nobody else was around at that time, so MD was able to log out, and Rage was able to come and despatch Kamira with her usual efficiency, despite being attacked by the Elite Speer Man and a couple of his friends at the same time. There weren't any rare drops, though.
Ratel left a little after nine, and the rogue SnapDragon, who'd been fighting alongside us in a friendly way, left as well, so MD was soloing there for a while - just long enough for MistressBlaze to level up. MB added 100.13%, reaching level 39, and also gained a single skill point. Level 38 was certainly a lot quicker than her Prokion Temple levels, particularly the later ones. That session added 1899 guild points, as well, which can't be bad. MistressDomina also gained a skill point, along with 1087 pet points and 44.47% experience.
Back in town, MistressBlaze was able to learn the level 38 passive skill Robe Mastery, for 310 skill points, increasing her physical defence stat by 125.
I logged Memree back in; she had enough Orc Ornaments in her inventory to do the quest involving them as soon as she was given it. She also spent some skill points, and made the change to Cleric. In fact, she spent all 1683 skill points that she had saved up, maximising most of the useful skills, though there are still two or three which could do with having further levels, and that's before we start looking at the Fast Heal and Magic Protection skills she can learn at level 32, which need 589 skill points between them. So, there's a lot more "sp farming" in Memree's future, though now she has the +10 armour, that removes the urgency from things.
SirPerivale and CaptainScarlet were then able to return to Merac, and their pet-levelling. Peri's blue horse was moving well into level 19 at log-out time, while Cap's drake was a little more than halfway through level 29.
