Instance and Lotsa Levels

Saturday night was a bunch of special days due to EL's "6th birthday", so I power-leveled my way through those.

Ended up getting exactly 80/80 a/d on Sun Tzu, perfect for the 60-80 instance, though I had to stop a/d training until then so I didn't disqualify myself from it.

Also hit oa 118, which resulted in 2 more Physique. Probably overdoing it p/c-wise for a/d-training, but I am still primarily a mixer/harver, and EMU is everything.


Alchemy 102 as well! :)


Sunday night was the 60-80 instance. Nice hard critters in there, however we all managed to survive with no deaths. Though during battles it was almost non-stop health restoring, even had to use a few EMPs to keep the mana up. Sometimes not even that was enough, would have to diss and take a breather to get mana refilled.

No really big drops like special helms. :( We ended up with about 7.8kgc+harvester medallion per person.


I followed that up with heading to the EP clops and permanently disqualifying myself from ever doing 60-80 instance again by raising my defense to 81.



Spent a bit of time this morning on clops, now up to 81/81 a/d. Sold some swords I found I never use (had several great swords from when I was trying them all out). Bought a halberd for special occasions. ;)


Somebody was trying to ask my a/d while I was clops training, looking for a PVP partner. Doesn't anyone gossip first before asking these things? I guess PKers are used to private stats, they're so ashamed of them...

Anyway, they couldn't grasp that I was a/d-training but never have (or will) PVP/PKed. As if the entire game revolves around bashing other players.

They don't grasp that:
- there's invasions, which a good a/d makes more fun
- there's instances, which have required a/d levels
- there's Leonard, who obviously needs a good a/d to hunt
- there's the overwhelming fact that a/d is the fastest way to level overall, which means more pickpoints
- some people prefer to be mixers, but a/d-training on monsters is a nice break from that.

And so on... PKers, the game hardly revolves around you. It's quite possible (and done by many) to play the game, get nice high levels, and never once have to delve into the stupidity that goes on in the PK realm. (Don't think it's stupid? Spend about 15 minutes reading the local chat at VotD storage and see if your IQ doesn't drop.)
