Bad Luck

Started with this..

+7 Bkat (3)
+7 Rapier (3)
+7 Dama (1)
+7 Nkat (1)
+6 Nkat (1)

Those turned into this...



Out of all those weapons, of course it's the cheapo Nkat that goes +9. Doh! I haven't blown the rap yet. Gonna wait till i have some more +8's to blow along with it.

In Comparison..

So I'm hunting TOI yesterday and I get this..



Not to bad. Sold it right away for 500k which i thought was pretty reasonable. Even though TOI mops don't drop adena (which i hate), one drop like this equals 3333 Succubus dropping me an average of 150 adena.

Lol. I try to look at the bright side of things.

An interesting evening to be sure...

So I began the day at 54%, and five hours later im logging off at 54.50%. Yet in the span of that five hours I actually logged 3%. You do the math on that and yep..you guessed it...I hit the floor today. Thank you Mr. Seer.

Clink and I were up hunting the 20th floor when Seer popped out right at a bad time. Lots of mops on the screen and I made the mistake of trying to tackle Seer with several other things hitting me. Click venzed once I went down but the good part is we did end up killing it after running back up. You can see the drops below, as well as my other drops from tonight.



Take special note of the Phoenix drop. There was about 4 of us tackling that thing and after it ended, everyone else said they got nothing. NOTHING!!! Please don't tell me this boss is nerfed now too. It was one of the few good bosses left out there that still dropped decently most of the time. Has anyone else ended Phoenix since the update? I cannot believe that it only dropped a blank level 4 and two rez scrolls. BAH!!!

More Episode 3 stuff..

So today I figured I would spend most of my time in the new Oum Dungeon area. I ended up logging almost 1.5% down there and you would think after spending that much time I would have something to show for it...right? Hahahahaha...

Wrong. My only two drops worth noting are below..



So I used probably 400k in pots down there today...and thats what i leave with. I'll try not to spend it all in one place. Im also inching closer to being Black Knight. Just another couple weeks hopefully.

Episode 3

It's here! After spending the last couples months waiting... episode III has finally arrived. I downloaded the update after work so I didn't have any problems and logged right in smoothly. (Clink on the other hand had a horrible time and ended up having to delete the entire game off his computer and start fresh)

I'm not gonna go into my likes and dislikes quite yet..as I want to spend some times playing before I make any final judgements. I will say one thing though...

"Why do they feel nothing should drop adena anymore?"

LOL. That's all Im gonna say about that for now.

After a couple long hunts down there I think the following was probably the most rare drop that we got.



No, it's probably not great... but it was definitely harder to get than all the other materials we gathered. Also notice the spawn...it can get pretty nasty in the Oum dungeon area.

I'm sure Ill have more screenshots for you in the coming days. There is a TON of new stuff to craft, as well as new drops. Hopefully Ill have something more exciting to show soon.

Oh, and thanks Semia!

Monday wasn't so bad...

Got this late Monday night but was to tired to post it.



That"s two bzels from Fire Valley eggs in just over a week. Not bad.

Knight Vald

Got a call today to help take out Knight Vald. This was my first trip this high so it was a great expirience. Knight Vald went down pretty easy, in fact he never even summoned any Black Knights of Darkness.



The drop wasn't very big..but I had alot of fun during the hunt afterwards. One thing i didn't realize until today was how commonly the wind crystals drop up here. We must have gotten at least 10 wind walk and eye of storm crystals during our hunt. Anyone need?? LOL

Now i just need to add a mummy lord to my list and I will have every boss on my resume except Lich and Grim Reaper. (Still need a few more levels for that)

Fat Pony

I normally haven't been including drops from Dream Island because we've all seen them a million times. However I just found this pretty funny to say the least. If you had told me before I killed this unicorn that it would drop me 10 lines...I would bet good money something outta that 10 would be good. Nope..i was wrong..



It was an Ndai. I guess the point of this post wasn't to show off my super rare ndai drop...but more to ask the question...

Where does a horse put all this stuff anyway?

Two days of leveling...

Well, I had two days off from work so I got a good chunk of leveling in. I still don't know how I ever got 7% a day like I did back on level 51. 7.05% is my record for one day and I don't think I will ever come close to that again as right now i consider 4% to be pretty darn good. Picked up a little over 3% today which puts my total at...



So, what does someone get after two days of leveling? My uber drops are below.





Am I rich yet? I can't complain to much though since one of those was a bzel, however I really was hoping for a little more. Oh well, at least Im starting to sniff the Black Knight morph now.

Good luck and see ya in game.

Another day...Another dopple..

Like I've stated before, it seems like every time I look for this guy (or girl?) I always seem to find him. Sometimes it drops nothing..sometimes it drops decent, and sometimes it drops so-so. Today was a so-so day.



Ran into several of these also. This was the best one. Both were N.



And also, due to some different reasons, Clink, myself, and Brownknight have left Eden Pledge for awhile. Im not gonna go into all the reason for this...only gonna say I'm sure it wont be a permanent thing. Just need some time away right now. Our new pledge is called PeaceCore and we now officially have the brightest pledge emblem ever! LOL



Im off tomorrow so hopefully I can get alot of hunting in. If so, I should have alot of drops to post. (wishful thinking but you never know)

Progress

I haven't been able to play much the last couple days. Just an hour here and there. I am making progress though...



It's not really the pace I was leveling at before i hit 52, but Im taking more time now to enjoy the game...rather than just spend day in and day out in FV. Definitely looking forward to the Black Knight morph however so that keeps me motivated.

Also found Dopple Boss again today.



Theres nothing listed as a drop because...well...nothing dropped. Oh well.

-DC-

Sorry Clink...

You should really watch what you say around someone with a blog.

Two Years Later...

Never figured it would take me this long to land one of these but finally tonight was the night. Granted they aren't worth what they used to be, but this is more about just being able to say...

"Yeah, I got one of those once"



The funny part about this drop is we were all ready to leave FI for the night and had walked to the western teleporter. From there we decided to make one more run and walk to the other teleporter instead. Needless to say it was a very good decision.

Thats all for tonight...

Glad that's over..On to the drops!

If you haven't read the post below this one...plz do! Once you've done that, enjoy my junky drops list. lol

About the Scammer on Dep

So here is how it pretty much breaks down. A few days ago people in Eden started to whisper me and let me know that someone in the pledge was asking for weapons and account passwords. I of course advised for all of them to not give anything to this person and started to become suspicious. I had read on RiffRaffs blog a few days earlier that someone had been running a scammer operation on Dep recently and I wondered if perhaps that scammer was....in our pledge???

To make a long story short, we narrowed it down to one person in our pledge. An elf named ET2 had recently joined and nobody really knew much about him. We did know however that his other characters were theelf1 and theelven1. This is important because that very same day I saw Arsun globaling for theelven1 to whisper him. Thinking perhaps it was related to the scammer, I whispered him and and asked if theelven1 had scammed something from him. Of course as we all know by now, Arsun had lost EVERYTHING to him. Once finding this out I immidiately sent out a pledge letter warning about ET2 and I also explained on global what was going on...in order to keep others from suffering the same fate.

Now this is where it get's interesting..

The next day I log in and someone in pledge tells me Im now possibly a suspect as being the scammer. What the Hell? After some digging I find out that Arsun had talked with theelven1 on ICQ and was told that I share accounts with "someone" else in the pledge, and this other person was the scammer. Well, this little bit of information made me really mad. ANYONE that knows me at all knows my feelings about cheaters, bots, hacks, and account sharing!! I have played Lineage for just about 3 years now. It took me over a year and a half to get to dk, and in the next year and a half Ive only gotten to 54. I DONT SHARE ACCOUNTS WITH ANYONE.

I immidiatly whispered Arsun and set up a meeting. I wont go into exactly what was said, but I offered to open my linweb for him if he doubted anything i said. My account has also only been accessed from my home IP address which could be proved by NC. I was only trying to help stop the scammer and so the scammer decided to use me and another pledge member as his scapegoats.

Arsun if you read this, please realize that guy is feeding you lies. I don't know what else he has told you but I know for a fact he pulled the "sharing" thing out of thin air. I'm sure he is fabricating many other stories as well.

And there you have it...probably the longest post I will ever have in the history of this blog. These particular events just struck a nerve with me because I have a reputation on Dep as being a "good" guy, and to have something like this blamed on me (and a fellow pledgemember)is just upsetting. I've said my peace now...

See ya in game!

Nothing Uber...

Just a quick post with a few drops from yesterday.

Level Level Level

My luck with bosses and drops has been down this week. Sorry no screenshots this time but I just don't have anything interesting to put up. I try to keep this blog about Lineage only so if I dont get drops or find a boss, then I dont have much to post about.

I have gotten some DI drops this week but I think everyone has seen plenty of zel and dai pics from DI. If i ever get anything more than that from there I will post it. Oh, and for those that are curious these are the various things (besides scrolls) I have gotten from DI since it's creation...

Ring of Summon Control (Uni)
2 Int Ammys (both Uni)
Belt of Mind (Fire)
Wind Ring (Wind)

And i got that ROSC back when they were actually still worth something so i would consider that my best DI drop. Still no elixers for me...yet.

Ok, back to leveling...
