RedRackham had another trouble-free overnight session levelling his drake, so that by breakfast time it had reached level 30. LordDarth logged back in then, and was able to take up his preferred position on the fifth floor of Maargadum Jail over on the Hatzring server, and continue moving his horse through level 34.
MistressDomina on Cariae did some window-shopping without luck, but MistressDomina on Auzura managed to find a pair of level 87 healer boots, "b5e" +13, being sold via Roy by IceCleric for 500 million gold...so Kaerella now has her circlet, pants and boots for the 85/87 set, even if she can't quite wear them yet. A +13 b5e rogue Antistune Chaser Jacket, being sold by Damethra for 750 million, proved too tempting as well, although I had hoped to find a +15 one...so MD bought that, which probably means that if a +15 one does turn up, I won't have enough gold left to get it. Rage still needs the gloves for the set, too - a pair of +13 gloves, Ebade Chaser Gloves +13, were on offer from Mikeyfri for 589 million, but they only have four evasion seals, for b4e, missing the 16 dexterity, so I managed to resist buying those.
There was plenty of time left this morning for SirKit to take a trip out to Prokion Temple again. It seems strange to be spending so much time on a minor character, but it will be useful to keep him within party-making range of RedRydeR...and we do want to get Red herself within party-making range of my level 70 Cariae cleric, Kaerella, who it would be great to get moving along far enough for her to be able to wear the 85/87 armour set.
SirKit's morning session added another 11.46% experience, plus 190 skill points and 94 guild points; and then it was time for him to log out for lunch, with RedRackham taking over the computer for a while to work on his drake, getting it almost halfway through level 30 by the end of the two hours.
SirKit was back in action for the afternoon session, again in the back room of Prokion Temple; the solo party lasted just long enough, with the last other member leaving just as the time approached for the early evening food break. By then, Kit had earned another 19.43% experience, 336 skill points, and 158 guild points.
Today's event, I found from checking the website, was to be a treasure hunt - one location has the treasure, though it will vanish after twenty minutes, and ten other locations have monsters. That all sounded reasonable - but the hunt wasn't across the grassy hills and plains of Juno, it was to take place in the ebony mine, a dungeon one can access from Juno. Checking the Last Chaos Wet Paint Wiki I see that the degraded golien commanders, reinforced troll zens, cursed harpy wings, degraded goblin commanders, developed harpy kings, reinforced troll berserkers, and reinforced troll kings that infest the place already are all aggressive, and go from level 123 to level 140, with some nasty skills to stun you, remove your ability to use skills, or remove large amounts of health. So, I don't think I would stay alive very long if I hunted for treasure in there!
LordDarth got his horse into level 35 over the food break, but after that it was time for yet another session in Prokion Temple for SirKit. It lasted for the whole length of the Elizabuff, and got SirKit into level 34. The new level slowed down his experience gain a bit, though he still got 3300 and 5500 skill exp from orc kills. 21.25% was the experience gain, and Kit got another 407 skill points, as well as 196 guild points.
About twenty minutes before the end of Kit's session, another knight, BladesMasters, rushed in, and started to kill the orcs, which slowed me down a little. He didn't say anything, but was always polite if we happened to dash towards the same target. Checking his buffs, I was surprised to see that he was using a platinum super skill pill, plus a crit potion and a platinum adrenaline - so he really ought to have had a room to himself. I did cut back my rate of attacking slightly by picking up loot, but there were still times when we were both standing waiting for some orcs to respawn. No big deal for SirKit, as the only buff he had was the free Elizabeth's Enhancement buff, but a waste of expensive time for someone using pricey potions. He did use a few skill point boosters too, I noticed.
"Elizabuff over - good luck", I said, as I left him to it; hopefully the rest of his hour went by more efficiently. SirKit logged out, and after a little unsuccessful browsing of Roy's merchant mart stock on Cariae and Auzura, RedRackham logged in, and headed for Merac to do a little drake-levelling. It won't be possible to go through the night, of course, as the server maintenance is scheduled for 1:00am, UK time. Last week the patch notes mentioned that "
A new event will be coming after 5/25/2010 maintenance
", urging us to stay tuned for more details... hopefully we will soon find out what that is all about.
By the end of the evening, LordDarth's horse was just about halfway through level 35 - that is one bonus that comes from SirKit working solo, Darth can continue through the day down in Maargadum Jail. RedRackham does better at overnight sessions, but this evening he'll be logging out with his drake still more than an hour away from level 31.
