MistressDomino had a pretty good overnight selling session, though the experience boosters didn't sell at the higher price; the skill point boosters did, however. The selling came to a slightly early end, with a "send error report?" message waiting for me when I checked in the morning.
This was the second day of the double experience and skill exp, stacking with pssps, pbis, and the two kinds of booster, but I really didn't feel like a marathon Tomb session again... which was just as well, as the forum shoutbox had people reporting that Cariae had suffered its regular crash just after 11:00am UK time. It seems to be the point at which data is gathered for rankings, though why that should kick almost everyone out, I don't know.
Luckily I was over on Auzura-4 at the time, fighting the outdoor sphinx fighters (the ones in the Tomb ought really to be called anubis fighters), sphinx speer men, and the elite sphinx speer man. My level 62 wizard MistressDomina was taking the lead in a combat party; I started by teaming her with my similar-level titan MrChuckNorris, but as she took quite a lot of damage, particularly from the elite, Chuck bowed out, and Kaerella took over.
Kaerella could heal MD, though her higher level, 70, may have reduced the experience gain slightly. Chuck is well off for skill points, while Kae is glad to get some extra ones - she only got 19 from the session, but it all helps. MD used a platinum blessed iris, to triple her experience gain, and also used 32 experience boosters. She reached level 63 before the end of the hour, and added 90.02% in all, as well as 721 pet points and 24 skill points. We did continue for a few minutes after the hour, with the party changed from combat to equal, and Kae doing the fighting, so Kaerella added 2.87%.
Reaching level 63 meant that MistressDomina was able, back in Randol, to learn level 7 of Flame Field, for 300 skill points, increasing that skill's power from 210 to 250. Useful if there is a group of monsters, though the level 70 skill is generally held to be better.
After lunch we followed a slightly different scheme, with Kaerella not in a party with MistressDomina - instead, MD was just in a solo party. Kaerella stood nearby still, and supplied healing when needed. MD managed to add 93.54% in the first hour, which was just enough to get her into level 64, plus 38 skill points and 911 pet points, while using 38 experience boosters. There was a slight interruption from a royal knight, who took the elite twice, but he soon moved on, perhaps to the nearby elite sphinx fighter as I suggested.
The second hour used up another 37 experience boosters, with MistressDomina moving on by another 80.71%, and adding another 33 skill points and 837 pet points. After that, there were a few minutes left, so MD left the solo party and made an equal party with Kaerella, so that MD got another 1.58%, and Kae, doing the work, got 1.02%, with 5 skill points each.
For the evening session, we went back to Kaerella leading a combat party, still out at the same spot; 49.23% was Kae's experience gain in the first hour, plus 20 skill points, from 43 experience boosters, while the second hour brought another 53.44%, and 23 skill points, from 49 boosters, taking Kaerella into level 71. Approaching half an hour after that of an equal party gave Kae 2.16% more and 11 skill points... MistressDomina added 4.46% during the two hours, along with the 43 skill points, and another 3.67%, and the 11 skill points, from the final bit, so she's still almost 10% away from reaching level 65.
We did have a visit from Kamira during the first hour, so Rage temporarily logged in instead of Kae, and quickly dealt with her, getting the usual drops, but no rare accessory this time. Kaerella then hurried back, and continued her session.
Over on Tairen-2, the Sunday Quiz went smoothly, with no tricky or out-of-date questions, so MistressDomino and Kaerella both got their tool aids, moonstones, and heaven stones; Kae passed her moonstones and heaven stones across to MD before they both logged out.
Two Tairen characters I've not logged in as for a while got a chance after the Quiz - SirGalahad, who used to pet-level so assiduously in Maargadum Jail, and my level 41 rogue xRAGEx. They made a solo party, and Gal headed back to level five of the Jail; all he had on the pet front was a level 2 dragon hatchling, which soon reached level 3, as Gal fought his usual death mask lancer.
I wonder whatever happened to GAMER, Discpline's Ukrainian level 50 mage on Tairen? The character is still in the guild, but doesn't seem to be playing Last Chaos any more. She lead Rage to the elite sphinx fighter's location ages ago, which I added to Rage's memory scroll. Now that I know that area a bit better, it seemed a good idea to move from that spot to the "elite sphinx speer man number two" location, which I now knew to be close by.
So, I teleported to the spot, which was right at the side of the open area, and managed to work out which way I needed to move - and got to my favourite sphinx spot without having to do any fighting. Someone was there, but they left almost at once, just leaving some gold on the ground for me to pick up...I hate to leave a place looking untidy, so quickly grabbed it.
At level 41, my Tauren version of Rage did have to be pretty careful, and left the elite sphinx speer man strictly alone. When Snare worked things were simple enough, and when it failed, well, quite a bit of health got lost. It wasn't a long session, Rage doesn't have any pbis or boosters, but she added 22.87% and 214 pet points, getting to the three-quarters mark in her level.
But that was the end of today's action - not as intense a slog as yesterday's Tomb of Theos session, but Auzura's Kaerella and MistressDomina got moved along nicely. The main idea has got to be to get Kaerella back within fifteen levels of Rage, who is level 91, so Kae needs another five levels, while Rage concentrates on "Storm the Castle" events and similar excitements, and trying to get a high-quality level 85/87 armour set. Talking of "StC", the forum poll for Sunday's event still seems level at zero votes each, as [GM]Kali never did unlock the thread to allow people to vote.
SirDarth logged in on Sarissa-4 for a little bit of work levelling his horse, while at the end of the evening, SirGalahad's short session in Maargadum Jail finished with the hatchling safely into level four. Running all the way through the Jail takes time, but it's good to have a pet-leveller who doesn't need to get a red name.
