700 Pear Finds, Alch 141, Invances, and So On

Just a few things happening...

New Guild Map Exploration

I've been very slow putting these up. Plenty more ready to go but I just haven't gotten around to them.

But I added a new one now... this time it's Legends of the Empire - ~LE~ I've invaded. ;-)

You can, of course, see all the available guild map explorations I've done so far on the top of the right column on this page.

700 Pears and Counting

Today I hit the 700 mark in number of pears found. Shit, that's a lotta time wasted hunting fruit. ;-)

The Eternal #1 Alchemist

So last time I tied with giove for the number one position. This time, I take seat as the first person to hit 141 in alchemy.

You advanced to level 141 of alchemy!

 

 

 

Invances, Hand Issues, and the Mason

Kept going to invances...

However, my hand issues (sometimes difficult to control my hand as well as I used to) was leading to a few too many bricks at once, and I had to stop again. Maybe more in the future, we'll see. Meanwhile, this happened...

Yay? An achievement.

Playing with Chickens and Stuff

No-break day led me to WVF where I used a double-spawn to farm Big Chicken feathers. For a while, had to go to bed after a couple hours.

But not before testing my abilities on a single chicken for a while.

Day of Invasions 

Out of boredom, I hit a few invasions during a recent day of invasions. Played with Japitas and Nasps.

And the Levels Will Rock 

Finally, of course, alchemy wasn't the only level. I took the potion god a while back but of the three gods, it's the lowest of my priorities. I will later do some power-leveling of it, but the other two take enough of my time at the moment.

Though, summoning being one of those, I do have to mass-produce SRs. And here, I was doing a huge creature food stock since I still regularly use that.

You advanced to level 114 of potion!

As well, another Engineering day led to another several hours poofing treasure finders in the engineering school, for over 40k experience per minute...

You advanced to level 115 of engineering!

And finally, more dailies (besides my chicken hunts and invances) led to more defense.

You advanced to level 139 of defense!

That would be it for this time... Currently working on stocking for both crafting and summoning. No expectation of another level the next few days at least, though it's not out of the question.

Jack of All Trades Turns 70

The more things change...

First things first, since it's the title of the blog entry and all that: Finally reached my goal of "all skills 70+" when I hit 70 in Ranging.

You advanced to level 70 of ranging!

Next up: All skills 75+ ... Ya know, that goal seems kinda never-ending ;)

Soloing Invaders

More levels later. Had some non-leveling goings on. Like, oh, this happened:

 

Invasion leftover, I managed to range it until it got onto the 45 a/d limit PK wall in Zirakinbar, and solo'd a blue dragon.

Was soloing Naspas without the aid of an a/d limit. Not the easiest task but I took on quite a few.

 

And while I can't take on an icy by myself with a sword, I certainly can pin him, at Ida storage no less, and arrow his ass to death. ;-)

So yes, it was a rare time when I actually participated in an invasion.

Invance... Me?

And an invance. My first in at least 6 months, if not longer.

That last pic has some nice experience in it, but not due to the invance. It was an Engineering Day, and I'd spent a couple hours before that in the Eng School.

 I half-fight, half-range those. Fight all the stuff up to giants, range when there's nothing left I can fight.

Buried Treasure

Also did another treasure hunt, found my second treasure:

Used F9 to mark where I'd checked for bags, thus the fires behind me ;-)

Speaking of finding stuff... this happened:

A pear and 4 Jokers in a row. That's a helluva poker hand.

Pear finds are up to 676, so 61 finds since my last update.

Redeemer Perk

A fourth redeemer perk was added, and I got it the same day. So I have all four.

And the Phoenix Flies

The mostly-forgotten Phoenix shapeshifting option still exists. Gotta admit, I have no clue when I'd ever actually use it. But since I'm an all-rounder, and it's something to level, I do on occasion "Phoenix out" and work on that level. Think 14 is the highest, and I've moved it up to level 9.

Oh Right, I Leveled Some Stuff, Too

Harvesting levels continue to come despite my not trying. Just the usual dailies, and harving whatever I happen to need.

You advanced to level 121 of harvesting!

Attack and Defense are still pretty much the same... dailies, though I do go out occasionally and continue to work on attempting to break stuff. This happened cashing in a daily:

You advanced to level 138 of attack!

I haven't done as much as I'd hoped working with my three God skills, but I did manage one level in one of them at least.

You advanced to level 88 of crafting!

Engineering levels are still happening, getting power-leveled on Eng Days whenever I have the ings to poof treasure finders in the school.

I haven't done as much as I'd hoped working with my three God skills, but I did manage one level in one of them at least.

You advanced to level 114 of engineering!

And last but definitely not least... while attempting to break some stuff (on creatures that happen to give "okay" a/d experience):

Your overall level is now 169!

That's all, folks! (And yeah, I got plans for more guild map visit entries, just haven't had time to put them together.)
