On Hatzring-5, LordDarth had a successful overnight session with his new pet, which reached level 16 just after breakfast, growing up from a pony into a horse - though it will be quite a while before it is a mountable horse. So the pale blue horse has already overtaken the regular-colour pony that Darth had originally been working on, which will remain at level 12 for a week or two.
Over on Cariae-4, MistressDomina did very nicely in merchant mode too, just about doubling her money...though this does of course eat into my reserves of item drop, skill point, and experience boosters. All she had left by morning were a few large attack potions, and some skill point boosters, so after a check to see if Roy's merchant mart had received any interesting new gloves, MD logged out for a few minutes, while I arranged to transfer some assorted packages over from a couple of other accounts.
Once MistressDomina logged back in, she was able to download the "gifts", and generally restock the more popular lines, and then go back into merchant mode for the morning. She included some heaven stones this time, and a few of those were her first sales, mainly two at a time, followed swiftly by all 260 item drop boosters. By the end of the afternoon, quite a lot more stuff had been sold, so we are now reasonably solvent on Cariae - unless a really good bow comes up for sale.
LordDarth ended up having a pretty marathon session in Maargadum Jail - not just all night, but all day too, so that the pale blue horse had gone up twelve levels by the time he finally logged out, fairly early in the evening.
There was another "Happy Hour" from six to eight this evening, UK time, giving 50% extra experience, which again stood in the way of skill point farming, so it seemed a good opportunity to start a rogue on Hatzring. So, RedRyder got created and did the starter personal dungeon, before going out to battle the usual deer, foxes, wolves and, eventually, jaguars. There was a trip out through the Dratan desert to get Prokion Temple on her memory scroll, too. LordDarth was still online then, giving a solo party. Interestingly, it seems that a newly-created character in the starter dungeon can't link up for a solo party now, but once Red was out in Juno, the party got made in the usual way.
Once RedRyder reached level 10, LordDarth logged out and Red switched to the older computer, with Kaerella coming online on the newer one. Kaerella generously consented to become RedRyder's Guardian, and then gave Red a solo party while Red had a short session fighting wandering zombies in Velpist Temple, to get to level 12.
Now that Kaerella and RedRyder were only 15 levels apart, they were able to team up properly, and head for Prokion temple, where Red stayed, generally, in the safety of the entrance hallway, while Kae fought mummies, ghouls, orc sergeants, orc soldiers, and even an orc fighter or two - any monster she could reach while keeping Red on her compass-map so that she shared the experience, basically.
The results are slightly skewed because I didn't initially give Kaerella the Elizabeth's Enhancement buff in case her experience zoomed up too quickly - but when it looked a rather slow gain, Kae went back and got the buff. Red went up from the start of level 12 to near the top of level 20 by the end of the session - while Kaerella added 41.19% experience, and both 119 skill points and 119 guild points.
Afterwards, there was just time for Kae to spend her sp on the third level of Advanced Weaponsmith, the third level of Basic Armoursmith, and level two of flawed stone processing, and then take a trip to Maargadum Jail to get rid of that experience gain - and then RedRyder did her available Juno quests, including getting her rogue "neckless" accessory, which added another 32.59% experience, taking her into level 21.
As usual, the plan will be for Red to overtake Kae, and then take the lead in some combat party team-ups, to give Kae plenty of skill exp. And it will be handy to have a rogue available for events on Hatzring, too.
The computers will get some time off tonight, rather than being used for any overnight pet-levelling or selling - but there will probably be some more of that tomorrow morning, as my "busy day" will spill over into Saturday, I'm afraid.
