Good day today!

I 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.)

So, I played a bit yesterday! Haven't really been on much because of personal issues and making plans to go back to school. I've mostly just been checking in daily and doing a few things in my diary for the day.

Harmony has been working on her instrument craft skill, and is right now working on a batch of 15 Conqueror's Instruments. Though I've been making sure to do analysis every day, and am mostly certain that I can level it up to be able to make Freezing already. I'm going to wait until this batch is done before I go and level it.

Speaking of Harmony, I'm getting bad about draining her account. I'm starting to go into the redzone. (Went past my comfortable benchmark of 500mil several weeks ago.) Since I haven't been playing her much at all, I haven't been replenishing what I take out of her account. Clearly the simple solution is to start playing her again, but that takes effort, and I'm wanting to focus on Lyric.

Lyric is now about halfway through Yggdrasil quests, and about 50%ish to level 99. Getting close! I think I will pull Harmony out of retirement once Lyric hits 100, so that she can help her with the upgrade quest. (I remember how hard it was with Harmony, though I didn't have near as good equips as I have had with Lyric all the way up, so, she may not have as hard a time with it. I'll just have to see.

I did ID98 for the first time with Lyric yesterday. Aaand I can definitely say that soloing in there with her would be a very bad idea. I teamed up with Gilberto though, and he sliced and diced them easy. (Although one hit with their aoe knocked my whole group (minus myself) down to half life. If two of them had done it in the same round...yeah, I'd be the only one standing. D:) But I now have my first decent ring! Haha, I know, I'm cheap. I haaaate worrying about rings. They're so darned expensive! I've told myself I wouldn't worry about getting good rings until ID98 and level 100--since that's when they really start to matter anyway.

Got my first quest to go fight Loki yesterday. I didn't know you got it so early! I remember trying that guy on Harmony and getting my rear handed to me, even when I was past 100!! I had to get help every time I had to fight that thing. Though, to be fair, Harmony's might was considerably LOW when she was around this level and the early 100s, as she was my first run and I didn't have any leftover equips/high crafting levels to make her really good things. Lyric is definitely benefiting from all Harmony's hard work. I may go try Loki, just to see if she could make it (though I don't personally think she can right now), but...I dunno. We'll see, I guess. (Though before 100 may be best, since I have a whole stock of life potion IIIs and no IVs as of yet.) Hmm.

VNAlliance left the nation yesterday. I don't know the details as to why, since I haven't been around much, but several people said that they're merging with Ragnarok and then rejoining. Which I have huge issues with. I don't like Ragnarok's leader, and I'd really rather not be in a nation with him. Unless it's changed hands since I last knew (or if I am thinking of the wrong guild, but I'm mostly certain I had a reason not to like that guild.)

Anyway, I think that's enough babbling for now. Gonna play a bit today and see if I can get Lyric up to 99. Wish me luck!
