Day 54. 23th January 2007

January 23, 2007

Zzz… got kinda angry today. And a little dissapointed. Today was suppose to be the 1st day of the permanent pt at sotong. Supposely start at 7.00 because tat time would be the time that Zfusion comes on9. It was alredi said yesterday tat will consist mostly of us 3. But in the end, only I turned up later on.

At 1st everything was well. I got into another party with Sichrisiah, GC and Loli. The exp was great. Fast too. After that Zfusion came on at 7.00. So I guess it was time for me to pt with him. Sichrisiah asked me to leave to pt fusion so I agreed since I was suppose to pt him too. Then we pt and swtich channels. Went to look for divine, but he was afk. =.=’

We tried to look for members but there wasn’t any. Every1 had their own parties at sotong. Then Snoweyes came, a lvl 1xx ice mage from the same guild. He came to pt then there was only 3 of us. After a while, shockingly…. Zfusion said he gtg. He didn’t talk much that time. I asked y, but there wasn’t a reply. He just left just like tat. Tat really kinda "pissed" me off.

I lost a good pt, and now I have no pt with a priest. I should have just stayed. And now I’m back to soloing. It was alredi mention yesteday tat we had a perma pt, and I had given my time to pt here. OH well.

Later on after an hour…. Zfusion came back on. I wanted to scold him but I didn’t. He apologized for coming late. I wondered whether it was him just now that came on, so I asked him. He said it wasn’t him and it was his "idiotic" cousin. This explains his weird behavior just now. So I understand and forgot about the incident just now.

But still it was back to 3 of us. After afew minutes of pt… snoweyes said he had to leave. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Then it was 2 of us. ZFusion went to look for divine then came back and said that he has a pt alredi and he’s staying there. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Speechless…
Then I wondered wat’s the point of this pt when no one comes. Thankfully some others came later on. 2 DKs, Haikara lvl 1xx and Always lvl 9x, came and partied. It wasn’t as fast as my previous pt but it was good enough. haiz..

Later on more ppl came and pt. Then anoter pt, which their priest left, came to our chn to pt with our priest. After that divine came along when his pt’s priest left, I guessed. Zfusion later on decided to arrange for another perma pt this time with ppl tat really wanna pt during that time slot. Vile, lvl 11x asasin said he would join. Divine should be back in too. He said just now he was left unparty from 6~8 so he went to join another party. But I was too left without a pt and it was kinda unfair.

I hope that the perma pt tmr would be better. I couldn’t blame the others too coz zfusion was late too. Sometimes maplers are just sellfish and wants to lvl faster so they prefer to join the stronger pt. I can’t say that I’m totally perfect myself. I just hope to be stronger in the future, both physically and mentally.

Day 53. 22th January 2007

January 22, 2007

Did a mistake on my pervious post on day 51. Thx to GC for my mistake. It wasn’t FrozenFaithx that died, but JJCFusion during the zakum battle at the 2nd body. Omg.. all these names.. Seems so similiar. JJCfusion, EGGfusion and Zfusion. If 3 of them were in the same guild or on my buddy list, if I just called out "fusion", all 3 will answer. Lolz.

Yellow mop story:

Hm.. I also forgotten to mention where I got the yellow mop which is shown in yesteday’s pic. I was heading to El nath yesterday to purchase some rocks. When I was entering the market place, a lvl 8x mage was in front of a gachapon machine and there were several items on the floor which include the yellow mop. SO without hesitating, and greedness, I approach him and loot all his item. Lolz.

The items I got was 2 low lvl crossbow weapon, 1 pico pico hammer and 1 yellow mop. Yea. Free yellow mop I said to myself. Forgotten to take the screenshot as I was rushed to loot his items. Lolz. And then I quickly ran off into the market place in El nath.

Later on he came after me from the back. He was sorta chasing me from the back and I thought that he wanted the items back. So I stopped. But I was wrong, he just walked pass me. Did he not notice I looted his items? Or doesn’t he want it back? Then I thought where did he get those items? Was he hacked tat’s y he dropped those items? He was standing in front of the el nath gachapon machine. It could be he gachapon those items and it sux so he dropped it on the floor. Oh well. It was nice having those items. ^^

Today as usual continued training at DSG2. And since today was a sunday midnight (Monday early morning), there wasn’t a pt for me to pt with. Had to solo train again and made it to 115. Still a long way to go. Another 5 more. =/

I guess probably now I have a perma party to lvl from 6.00pm to 10.00pm. This is because this was Zfusion’s x2 exp time slot. And he was a priest. SO I decided to help him and also myself to train during this time. And then a perma pt for this time was set. This pt will consist of me, Zfusion, Divinewind13 and DKnightMax (Mayb. Not really sure).

And divinewind13, the 2nd top ranger, said that he did not use x2. He said that he has no money to buy and that he lvls almost 2 days per lvl. It was kinda hard for me to bliff that. And he even said he play 24 hours a day. Hm.. weird. I track him some times but I don’t c him on 24 hours also. And he said he gained 33% which is not long after he lvled probably bout 1~2 hours ago. And said he gain 7% per hour. The calculations just don’t add up. Oh well. Freaky. Mayb another maple who knows how to use magic!! lolz.

Day 52. 21th January 2007

January 21, 2007

There wasn’t much today. Just the usual training at DSG 2 again. Luckilly today there was a pt at sotong wif few atkers and a priest. Manage to lvl with a priest, RomanticGai from night till morning. It’s hard to get a priest to pt during weekdays so during the weekends must fully use the priest’s HS (Holy symbol) to lvl.

After midnight, there wasn’t much atkers to party with. I was always left alone with GaI to train. One come n go after another. But happyily manage to survive through the nite hours of training. After several hours, GaI had to go. With Iollip0ppie and a few other maplers, they went to hunt Pianus, the fish boss. I wanted to join them so i asked. But GC advise me better not to go. As my life wasn’t enough.

He said pianus could do a total of 5k dmg and if my life was less than tat, I surely would die. So I had to be patience and keep on training until I reach lvl 120. Mayb by then my life would be enough with Hyper body.

No vids today. =(

Day 51. 20th January 2007

January 20, 2007

Today is the day! Finally.. TOday is the day to zakum. That me and several maplers are going to go battle wif zakum. The 8 hands brown rock freak boss. lolz

All those who are invited, and are listed, gathered at FM chn 3 at about 11.00 am. Parties are alredi set. Was a little shock though that the party had changed. My party leader was Liangzzai, the 13x knight. Accompanied with 1 dk, meowmee and 2 priest. Which later switch member due to not having max dispell. So we all waited for the door to the "entrace to zakum". Took quite a while though for some maplers as there were late comers.

Before that I got ready all my ramens about 1.7k. And 100++ power elixirs, 100 cheese, 100 pure water (which later I found out wasn’t enough), and 100 all cure pot. And other small minor items. I wasn’t in good shape at that moment. My potting was slow and the dmg I recieved was slow too causing delay in me potting myself. There was a 60% chance tat I would die while fighting the body,

Anywayz, it was alredi plan, can’t turn back now. I had to go with it. All was set. And later on all was in the Altar of Zakum. Then all of us were waiting for 1 mroe party, the JR party which mostly consists of JR members such as JRdknightZ, and JrTukiz. Wondered whether I got their names rite.

Then they came and suddely shocking, that the altar was full. There was an extra in the room. It was IvyDarling, from Dolphin baby guild, a lvl 9x priest. Who came uninvited and wasted 1 hour of our time causing so much trouble for fellow maplers. I wondered why does she had to be so stuborn. Was it because she was actualy invited in the 1st place then later on kicked out? Or did some1 insulted her that badly. But she was at fault. And now she’s blacklisted in most guilds.

After much persuading, she left. And the battle of zakum could start. And here’s the video and pics.

The results?. Sad. I died during the 2nd body. Due to the mobs that zakum summon. IMO it should have been cleared earlier on. If not I wouldn’t have died. But I also predicted high possibility that I would die due to the lag. Wasted. Sad and angry at the same time but there wasn’t much that I could do. I just watched them battled till the end but later on, automatically, I was transfer out and back to EL nath once again.

Then later on, all of them left the altar, I wondered why. Did they die? From wat I heard, FrozenFaithx, the only DK in one party died, coz of his msn nudge. Then the party without HB (Hyber body), panic, wanted to switch partied, was too late. They died also. Then 1 by 1 died. =.=’

Sad. They didn’t manage to kill it. We were so close. So all stopped at body 2 of zakum. I was dissapointed as I didn’t do my best. I still had plenty of ramens about 1.5k. I should have spamed it like water. I learned my lesson to nvr repeat the same mistakes again.

Will DO BETTER~~~ I promise…


Day 50. 19th January 2007

January 19, 2007

Today is the 50th day and I made it to lvl 112.

I did a little hunting again. But today it wasn’t spirit vikings, it was minor zombies instead. I went all the way to el nath, to the mines to hunt for minor zombies, which I can easily 1 hit ko them.

Because of the snowboard event, the prices of snowboards have shot up. And I heard that several snowboards can sell up to 1m. Tat’s really a lot for an item tat was worth only 100k a few weeks ago. Gc said that he earned up to 21 mil just by selling 7 blood snowboard in one day. Tat was… really amazing!! And timetoplay earn 20mil++ by selling dark snowboards only.

SO that is why I decided to give it a try. I decide to hunt blood snowboard. It seems easy from wat I have heard. So off I went.

Wow.. I guess the snowboards aren’s so easy to drop anywayz. In the end I only manage to find 2 blood snowboards in a few hours. I’ll be keeping one for myself and another one for a buddy of mine. Was going to hunt for a few more, but felt lazy and tired. So stop for the day.

It was so frustrating when I found some other item instead of the blood snowboard. Overall I found 3 holy crossrings, lvl 80 female warrior overall, and 1 red salt shoes. =.=’

Hope the price of SB doesn’t drop that fast. So tat I could go hunt more and sell them and probably use the money to buy other snowboards to obtain the Super Snowboard. ^^

Day 49. 18th January 2007

January 18, 2007

Days are passing by real quickly. It’s coming closer to the day which I’m going to zakum with a few fellow maplers. I was told that the time had changed. It had moved on earlier and said to start at 12.00pm. Any time would be alrite with me as long as I get to pot myself normally.

Did a little hunting at Warped Path of Time <4>. Killing spirit vikings which drops ilbis. Hoping that I’m lucky enough to find one. But too bad, couldn’t find anything except a lvl 50 blue pants. Will be back here to hunt more when I’m 12x to earn some mesos probably.

The spirit viking map isn’t that bad for a training place compare to other Dungeon maps in ludibrium. Just that the dmg taken is quite high.

On 48th Jan there was a game patch. Several monsters started dropping snowboards. There is altogether 6 different snowboards and it is said that if one collects all 6, you can merge them all into 1 lvl 70 snowboard with semi Godly stats. So now a number of maplers started hunting for these snowboards. I might go hunt too if I have time.

As usual later on went back to DSG 2 to trained. And this happened. Lolz.

Day 48. 17th January 2007

January 17, 2007

Wooo. Today me and a few maplers are invited to attend a wedding ceremony. Who’s wedding u asked?

It was kinda shocking though. Least expected. But it’s true. Today (suppose to be yesterday, but I posted today), was xGrandcross marriage with Adequate. It was kind of a last minute invitation. I thought it was some1 unknown to me. Just when suddenly GC invited the guild members to go attend his wedding ceremony. And so, most of us did.

I was in sotong that time, swam all the way to Orbis to attend the ceremony. GC send out all the invitation cards. Then I finally got mine and enter the Banquet place. yey!! I could buy ramen. Then I forgotten that I didn’t bring much mesos so I only bought a few. Next time come buy again.

Many known faces were invited. And so every1 gathered at the wedding place, started jumping around, spamming and chit chating. Took a video of it.

Later on Jr, balrog was summon. But it was killed in less than a second though. Although it did killed a few maplers including the summoner himself. Then we took some screenshots. Below are some of mine which I took.

Overall it was interesting and fun at the same time. But we waited quite long for it to start. It was nice to c all the maplers gather. Was kinda messy at the same time. Gratz again to both GC and Ade. ^^

Back to training~


Day 47. 16th January 2007

January 16, 2007

Woot~ Reach lvl 110. Yea!! Another 10 more lvls. Gambate.
Today was kinda shocking. FF (FrozenFaithX) asked me whether I was free on sat afternoon. I wondered y he asked. Party at sotong for 24 hours? Tat’s good. Lolz

But it wasn’t. It wasn’t party for sotong. And siCHRISla keeps on saying that it’s for "s3x". He seems to be horny that time. =p

Anywayz, he asked whether I was free on sat, because he wanted to invite me to be one of the members to fight ZAKUM!! Woo~~~~~
Tat’s even more better. He was the organizer. I least expected that, coz I thought it would mostly be Tide or Iollip0ppie or Jrxiang who planned it. Mayb he wanted the zakum helm that badly. Lolz. It was great though so I agreed. And it’s time once again to start buying lots n lots of RAMEN.

He then told me it was posted up at the maplesea forum:
http://forums.asiasoft.net/thread.asp?qid=1069695

And even gave me his handphone number. swt.. =.=’

Tat was great. I checked the forum and I notice that I was put into a party alredi. And in the same party with siCHRISla. =.=’ Ther perverted priest. lolz. =p
Well it doesn’t matter. As long as I’m in. I wondered whether my fren LesB0Ice would join too coz her name was listed below the "unconfirmed list".

Later on I just continued to lvl and found several items and about 3 helios. =.=’
I would prefer if they drop me golden hinkel instead.
-
Helios 1
Helios 2
-
Later on something even shocking happen, my fren LesB0Ice… found ILBI. From spirit vikings. Just hunting at that place for just 5 mins n below. WTH? It dropped just like that. So unfair. T_T

(Picture in process)


Day 46. 15th January 2007

January 15, 2007

Seems like a usual day. Just went on training at DSG 2 again. Hope to lvl faster to at least 120. Then I can go boss hunting like the others. It’s so sad to c others going boss hunting but I couldn’t coz my dmg was too low, life too low and because my lvl was too low. But boss hunting would then cost me a lot of pots which means a lot of ramens which are bought with mils of mesos. >.<

Some friends and guild members went to hunt pianus. If I was stronger I could have joined them. But I heard they died alot during the fight. Then some of them went to fight anego too. Mayb I’ll try to fight anego at lvl 114, suggested by Lesb0ice. But for now, no more slacking. Full focus on training.

Day 45. 14th January 2007

January 13, 2007

OMG OMG OMG!!! I’m invited to join the zakum fight. The very 1st zakum in Delphinus server. Well here’s some pics. Pictures speak a thousand words or so they say.

Sadly, we didn’t kill it. Too many ppl died and dc during the battle. Kinda dissapointed but was glad at the same time as this was my very 1st experience to fight zakum. Now at least I know how the situation is. And how to fight it next time. Although I did wasted 3 mils for RAMENS. Ramens can be bought at wedding place. And to go to the wedding place, one needs an wedding invitation card. It cost 200 a-Cash if not mistaken. 1 ramen = 4500 mesos.

And I bought 1.2k ramens oni. With the use of other power elixirs and elixirs. I was shocked when they said they needed 2k ramens. Then while fighting zakum body, I just realize.. yes. 2k ramens was needed. As 1 apocalypse (the spell that reduce both hp and mp to 1), was cast most of the time. At last we all gave up coz it ate our pots too much and there wasn’t many atkers.

Didn’t manage to take the video though. Coz it would lag me badly and I would die if not careful. I will take the video next time if able. ^_^

At last I would like to thank all the maplers who fought zakum. Although we didn’t manage to kill it, and I was kinda disspointed, it was certainly a great experience. Really thx all. Thanks to Synergy who gave me this oppurtunity too.
