Three Kaerellas in Action

SirGalahad managed to pet-level his pale blue pony through the night successfully, while, also on the Tairen server, MistressDomino was in merchant mode. Although she didn't have a huge amount of stuff to sell, mainly some heaven stones and fifty skill point boosters that came from one of those free spins of the Aeria "loot wheel" a week or two back, everything sold except some moonstone boxes, so we ended up about 87 million richer.

By coffee time the pony had reached level 14, which seemed pretty good progress. But then SirGalahad had to log out for a couple of hours, while Memree and Kaerella made their usual trip to Prokion Temple - and found the back room free. I think the player who has been in there the last couple of mornings did look in around an hour later, but went away when she saw the room in use.

I did have a couple of rogues drop in; the first one, RogueZ, wisely didn't stay long at all, she didn't have the level 30/32 armour and the orcs are sticklers for the dress code in that room. The second rogue did have 30/32 armour, but it wasn't the +10 set; she mentioned that she was actually a friend of the account owner, helping to level the character, so I had to mention that Aeria takes a dim view of account sharing.

One of my "busy weekends" is approaching, so today will have to be my last morning session until next Monday probably; there won't be many more afternoon sessions until then, either. Still, Memree did manage to gain 15.13%, while earning 229 guild points for Discipline, while Kaerella, who as usual didn't do any fighting, but helped move things along by picking up the loot, added 13.54%, with 33 guild points. And they got 219 skill points each, which gets Kae over the 2k mark.

When SirGalahad logged back on for the lunchtime pet-levelling session, his horse was able to learn the first thirteen levels of Armour Increase, as that was Gal's first chance to visit the animal trainer since he started to train the pony. It didn't take long for the pony to reach level 15 - and as Gal was left to get on with things all afternoon, the horse moved on to levels 16 and 17 as well.

My Cariae cleric Kaerella logged on, and headed for her elite sphinx speer man and his colleagues. There wasn't a solo party available, so I invited one of the people registered for a party, and then put the party up for more members. It grew nicely, though when I finally left it went down to two again.

Since I had two hours available, I used two platinum blessed irises, for an hour each of triple experience gain, and used experience boosters for every elite - which worked out as 66 xpbs in all, 33 per hour. By the end of the session Kaerella had reached level 63, so that she was able to learn the second level of Party Heal 2, for 240 skill points. That increases the health party members are healed for by 50, to 350, so it is pretty powerful...it's just a shame that using it does tend to attract the monsters to its caster. Anyway, Kae added 86.57%, along with 33 skill points and 1810 pet points.

For the evening session it seemed about time that Kaerella on the Katar server had an outing. She is a level 32 archer now, with a pretty good stock of skill points; I used quite a few platinum super skill pills on her, a while ago. Still, a few more skill points seemed like a good idea, so as usual Prokion Temple was the destination, on subserver 5, so that Elizabeth's Enhancement was available.

I headed for the mirror half of the Temple's corridor room, which has one orc axeman and a good number of orc fighters, who don't give much experience now, since they are seven levels below Kae, but do give a third of a skill point a time. I kept going for the whole duration of the three-hour Elizabuff; I generally had the room to myself to begin with, as the mirror half is always less busy, but a friendly level 24 titan, VezosAek, kind of adopted me later on. I was in a solo party, and had inherited its lead by then; he did come into it briefly, but when I reported that it gave me a lot more experience per kill, which wasn't what I was there for, he swiftly left. Having me there probably cut back his experience gain per kill, too.

VezosAek had to go when he reached level 25, so my last few minutes were solo again. In all, Kaerella had gone up by just 12.49%, earning her first 85 guild points for Discipline on Katar - and added 349 skill points.

SirGalahad had been able to continue levelling his pale blue horse, back on Tairen-4; it reached level 19 just before ten o'clock, so there will be another five levels of Armour Increase to learn next time Gal logs in in Randol. With the usual maintenance scheduled for later tonight, there isn't the option to keep going overnight, however.

Tomorrow won't have a morning session, except for SirGalahad of course, What it will definitely have, assuming nothing goes drastically wrong with whatever new patch we get to download, is a series of Mad Monster Spawns, starting earlier than usual due to the shorter time difference between the US and UK this week and next. So, that should be fun, for my local representatives on all six servers for the low-level MMS, and maybe I'll be able to get to a high-level event or two as well. It looks as if the European MMS on Auzura, usually run in addition to the main MMS in the rotation, is being discontinued, but at least Auzura seems still to be getting its own "Storm the Castle" event on Fridays.
