Better late than never!

Sorry it took me a couple of weeks to update. I've been way busy with the coaching. But the good news is my team is starting to gel and score some goals! We won today 7-2 yay!

Well Biz hit 56 shortly after the event! 2 more levels to max dex! But the ac is coming along real nice.

Now I'm focusing on getting the mage to DK! The event was so nice to her! Biz didnt get much.

Oh and the little knight is 46. So easy to lvl knight.

Blue Ammy drop!

I, along with everyone else, got earrings of purification during the event. So I decided I'd do some hunting in Pirate dungeon to try and get a drop! What are the odds? BAM, got it!

Little mage now has 23int at level 51! With items of course. The -wis kinda balances the reaper mittens, so you have to rest without the earrings on to get the blue pot bonus. But wow TU is nice now!

Event item parlay!

Well Ive been barterin and whatnot and I managed to turn the kurtz set plus the bapho into a dk set. I f igure DK set has much better long term value. So I leveled little biz up to 30 real quick with a rap and daid and zel'd stuff up. Now he's rockin the dkset, 7kurtz sword, and the ant wing lol. Pretty uber for a level 30 con knight!

Diggin through the rubble

The aftermath of an event is always a dichotomy for me. On one hand, you've been pressing so hard that it's like the end of a war. You have that tired ecstasy of being done. On the other hand, you have more work to do to take advantage of the drops you got. You have to keep up on prices, swing trades, and set up shops 24/7. And I'm just not sure I have the energy for this phase II.

I did very well in the event. Hunting mostly by myself in the beginning, and then with Harmageddon and Raalik in the latter stages, I got a lot of good items.

What's funny is that the last morning, monday, I went to work late. I stayed home till exactly 9am then left (it's a 5min drive). I hunted about 7:55-9 on Boss Island 1, mainly on the road SW of town. In the span of 10min I got Lich Robe and DK Sword. I was speechless. Awesome!

This is what I walked away with after sorting out who gets what. We had some big drops in group that went to others and arent listed here. Thanks to Harm and Raal for being cool about everything. I still owe harm half of that coi!

My goals for event were to get a COI for sieging and DE sandals for mage. I got the COI as drop but not the sandals. I swung a trade and got sandals the next day! So I'm ecstatic that I achieved my goals. These are long term items that will aid hunting every day. I also bought destroy early on for pretty cheap.

So I'm overloaded with knight gear. I didnt really get any daily hunting improvement for prince, except maybe the b-AS which I'll test on 24 and lasta. Mage got a huge boost with lich robe and sandals. She could also hunt with ori. DE got a boost since I traded raal for a 9sedo and the ant wing can be used by them. Elf got new weapons but none increase the dmg output.

Was neat to see new items dropping. The rotting voyager items especially have been a mystery. And a few stat modifying things dropped. Now I just need a blue ammy!

All in all good fun. If you see baby biz running around as a knight in kurtz, dont laugh and dont pk! I will be full law before he sees any of that gear!

Recruiting!

Liberty and Tyranny

The two cannot coexist. If you stand on the side of Freedom and Individual Rights in the face of collectivism and big oligarchies, then stand with us!

The big pledges monopolize castle revenue, castle dungeons, the best hunting areas, many of the bosses. And they're about to bully us out of the boss island event (again).

What I have to offer: mature judgement, calm leadership, persistence (I've never stopped playing since 2000), a good sense of humor, a moderated chat

What I won't tolerate: global diarrhea (that means NONE), insulting pledgemates, cliques within pledge, keeping bosses to yourself, cruelty towards the weak

You don't have to be from the US.

Interested? Holla at a playa

A New Era

I got this nagging feeling in the back of my mind a few months ago. I knew a change would be needed. But I was afraid to leave my good buds in Eden. There's a few superb individuals in that pledge that I really miss being associated with. But there's also a few that represented us very poorly. A few also fought big pledges, risking our neutrality by fighting POD and even XRated, much of whom are former pledgemates. So I had to make a move. Here's one guy I don't miss.

We were a neutral pledge. But a few people were actively involved in fighting different other big pledges. And the leaders didn't log in much. And I got tired of having to exclude pledge members. So I decided to go my own way again.

What have I been up to? Levelin a bit, but mainly explorin, tryin new things. I even leveled some newbs for quest items to blow up.

Here, Goldn shows me his sushi technique. He's a master!

Here I join Tanth, Elt, and Arch on the 50 quest. So fun! I'm hoping they'll join up, but they are so devoted to KoD and Elane. What's it been, 2 years? If Elane came back, many would rejoin, including me. I don't see that happening. So I'm back running a pledge. It will start as friend only, but I can see myself recruiting and getting political again soon. Could be fun and a new challenge!

All been washed in Black

Little Eddie Vedder lingo there.

I know, I know - he's a punkass. But, how else could I introduce my levelup to 55!

The morph is awesome. Such a smooth, fast swing. And I rarely cast so who cares if it's slow! Speaking of casting... 8 extra AC thanks to my new Aura! I can now hunt TOS fairly effectively!

XP update

Lag has been bad for about a month. I sent ping plots to NC and they asked for a whole rash of research so I said F them. I gave them the ping plots showing the bad node. They want to know what version of active X i'm using? W T F

So Ive been hunting safer areas and being cautious. Some nights its so bad I just go nuke with the healer. She's getting up there too.

Biz is 54.68 at this writing, which is amazing. That double xp event really catapulted and motivated me. I turned the corner hard and before I knew it, I was at 25% and cruisin!

Fishing season is here so I need to get a move on. I'll be outdoors a LOT this summer. Less time to level. I gotta get that new morph and ac spell!

Wow long time no post

Acid told me he actually read this. So I better post. I told him I would when I had a SS to show. I been busy lately. Got a new truck. Switched departments at work. Already been fishin a few times this year hehe. Oh and I been coaching hockey and playing some hockey and tennis at night in leagues. So I'm keeping bizzy as uzual.

5-4 mofo! Added dex, got an AC point. Headed for new morph and big AC baby! Only got 10hp on the levelup, bleh.

Here's my new baby. She's a diesel. Im into alternative fuels ya know. Pristine. Pimped inside. You knew it. I drove it home from St Louis in a day lol. She'll tow a boat and haul the fam without breaking a sweat.

American Muscle. Bite me.
