Good day today!
Saturday, January 29th, 2011 11:08 pmI got on Lyric today determined to quest like crazy (and hopefully finish up Yggdrasil). I definitely wanted to take advantage of the bonus xp and pull a level at least. It took most of the day, but she got her level. She's 99 now! :D (--Hee, so I was questing/grinding, and was just about to level, and QuotesPapa asked if anyone wanted to do ID90. Yes! Meee! So, we went and I leveled within a few fights. :D)
I did get all of her mercs (save her cannoneer) to at least 95. And I think her cannoneer went from 80 to 85. Nice progress today!
I finally got to the World Tree bosses--which I remember being uber hard when I fought them on Harmony, died several times with her I know. OMG I am almost disappointed. They were easy! All three of them! I was expecting their AOEs to knock me flat and at *least* take my mercs halfway down, but...nope. It was so little damage from those that my princess and prophet had everyone healed back to full health by the time it came up again.
On the crafting front, had to do sooooo many quest crafts today OMG. It's like every other quest in Yggdrasil! (Which is v. annoying since I only have my autocraft at 1 on Lyric, and don't intend to add more to it.) But my last one was to craft an Assassin's Bow, which, thankfully, I had my skill high enough to do already. Once I finished it and turned in my quest, I didn't want it or have any use for it, so I did an analysis on it. ...I got x5 xp. Go figure, when it doesn't matter, I get a high multiple. *shakes head*
Harmony now. She had 2mil workload left on her batch she's been working on for 2-3 days when I went to sign off tonight. So, me being impatient, I bought a couple 1mil xp books and booked it out. OMG +4s! Fifteen +4 Conquerer's Instruments!! I was hoping for a good plus on this batch, so I could try to beat my +7 Osiris Instrument, but woaaaah was so not expecting a plus *this* good. :D I ended up with a +7 by the end of it, and Lyric is now sporting one awesome weapon. :D
When I did Harmony's analysis (on a Dragon Slayer Instrument I had lying around--I'd already spent enough money today), I got x5 as well! o.O Pretty darn awesome. What did I do to get so lucky?
So I finally went and leveled her instrument skill (it's been needing it since before I started that batch). I was hoping to get it to Freezing, but it went all the way to 76! I can make Divine now! Woot!
Might try another batch of Conq. soon, or maybe a half batch of Freezing or so. I dunno. Something to get me to Depraved, as that is the one I want to get a good plus on eventually. Since it's going to be darn hard to beat that +7 Conq with anything else. But anyway.... Yay!
ETA: I looked it up. Garfiel was the reason I didn't like Ragnarok, but it looks like it's under new management now, so my hackles are officially down. And the few new people I've talked to seem nice, so. :) (I didn't keep up with him once he disbanded Solace. I'd heard a little bit of drama after the fact, but didn't worry about keeping my ear to the ground, once I'd read through everything that went down. I'm glad they got rid of him, at any rate.)
