LordDarth managed a successful overnight pet-levelling session, though when I checked up on his progress halfway through the night I found that he had managed to attract a death mask soldier, which luckily was attacking him rather than the horse. So Darth was, once he killed that soldier and moved back to a slightly safer position, able to continue with his work. This meant that just before half past nine in the morning, the horse reached level 37, so I immediately unequipped it, and equipped the level 12 pony that Darth had previously been working on.
MistressDomino on Auzura sold some stuff overnight, to get back about half of the 550 million gold she recently paid out; after coffee she logged out, though, as I needed to clear out the records section on the KaerellaBlaise account, to make room for some new item mall purchases. The "Windswept" package isn't greatly thrilling, with 75 experience boosters, a platinum blessed iris, a large crit potion, and 10 chaos balls for 645 aeria points, but it was on "buy one, get another for 1 ap" special offer - and if I did that four times I'd be spending over 2,500 ap, which would qualify me for a "tiered spender event" bonus of 150 more experience boosters, 18 platinum blessed irises, 160 chaos balls, 10 experience boxes, 5 health stealers, 5 mana stealers, 20 power potions, 20 berserker potions, 20 platinum adrenaline, and 20 lucky spell books - which seemed like an offer worth taking up, to me.
LordDarth had got his original pony well into level 13, and got back 18% of its Sympathy, by the time he returned to Randol, There, the level 37 pale blue horse was traded across to Hatzring's Kaerella, who immediately converted it into a mount - which means that now Kaerella on all six servers has a level 37 pale blue horse to ride, so that little job is finished.
There was still time for an hour or so in Prokion Temple before lunch, so RedRydeR and SirKit headed there on Cariae-5. As Kit was eleven levels below Red, the party was of the equal type to begin with, only changing to combat when he levelled up, and was able to put on the level 32 Steel helm and boots. His 30/32 set may only be +3, not +10, but it does seem enough to keep him safe while fighting orc sergeants and axemen...though just standing there while being bashed by a round dozen of them might not be a good idea, I decided.
Reaching the new level did cut back the experience and skill exp gain per kill a little; the axemen still give more skill exp than when RedRydeR was level 35 and in a solo party, but the sergeants give slightly less now. The experience gain is still pretty useful, though. By the time lunch was almost ready, RedRydeR had earned 14.11% experience, along with 228 guild points, while SirKit was up by 30.67% and 67 gp. And they'd each added 168 more skill points.
I did have a couple of visitors, a sorcerer and a rogue, but neither of them was high enough level to stay around for all that long.
LordDarth went down to the Jail over the lunch break, and had got his pony into level 14 by the time he logged out, to allow SirKit back on; the pony's Sympathy was up to 41% by then.
The afternoon session was, again, RedRydeR and SirKit in Prokion Temple, without interruptions this time. SirKit went up 39.01%, and 97 guild points, mainly just picking up the loot but occasionally doing some fighting if there was a spare orc nearby, and RedRydeR got 34.77%, as well as contributing 562 more guild points to Discipline. They each gained 378 skill points - so as this took Red over the 21,000 mark for unspent sp, it seemed time for Kaerella to unlock her experience gain, which she did immediately after the early evening food break.
The evening session was a pretty long one - if I have to go back to Randol to get the Elizabeth's Enhancement buff restarted, after its three hours has ended, I know I've been busy for a while. Kit and Red took it in turns to go back, to keep the room busy; Red still gets 550 skill exp from the sergeants, I noticed, in a solo party, but just 2 from the axemen. Kit does rather better for skill exp, though he kills a lot more slowly. Fighting a mob of at least eight assorted orcs was slightly more than Kit's +3 armour could shrug off, his health had declined by about 20% by the time Red returned.
At about five past eight, UK time, the usual warning message came up: "Sunday Quiz will be starting in 25 mins!! Start heading to your quiz rooms!!" The forum shoutbox was soon busy with people having a chuckle about that, since today was actually Saturday. "Sorry about the Sunday Quiz message!! GM Error!!" soon followed, and from I think a different keyboard "LOLZ forget that last message.. GM time travel", which rather explains it. Hmm, I wonder if it was [GM]Darasuum who was a day ahead of himself?
Red's experience gain had speeded up, now that she was no longer donating half of it to Discipline, so her gain for the evening was 79.01%, taking her 40% of the way through level 38. SirKit, since most of the time he wasn't fighting, and it was a combat party, just added 42.96%, Red added 563 skill points, and Kit added 566. Towards the end, the rogue xYouHeartHot came back, having previously dropped in yesterday. She was level 27 now, and asking about getting a level 29 weapon, but I assured her that her level 21 event weapon was just as good as an ordinary level 29 one. She has a level 33 +10 weapon ready for when she reaches level 29, so seems to be well set up. She mentioned that she had had a level 96 knight at one time, but that account got banned.
Back in Randol, RedRydeR was able to spend 292 skill points on the two levels of the passive skill Defence Guard, which increased her physical defence stat from 798 to 903, and also learn two attack skills, all five levels of the very useful Flame Arrow for 293 sp. and the first five levels of Piercing for the same, So, that was 878 skill points well invested.
LordDarth logged back in for a little more pet-levelling work on his pony, though he won't keep going overnight, as it's time the computers, and modem, had a rest. The pony should be well into level 15 by the time he logs out. There was a "Zombie Invasion" event scheduled for just outside Dratan City, but even on Auzura it doesn't start until ten, UK time...and I seem to have had rather a lot of late nights recently, so I'm afraid they'll have to manage without Rage.
