Sophia Smarts

Done so much alt-leveling lately, so here's the deets!

UNICORN!

I got to roam my mounts a little earlier, thanks to Kingisle. JK - snapped and cropped this while my DoaW Turtle was jumping, but its awesome :D

An Egg I trained in the TR. Not bad.

"Hey Dworgyn, can I have my Pirate spell?" "Zzzzzzzzzz......" (apparently he borrowed a little too many Storm books from Balestrom, look on the desks)

POSE! Love this pic :)

Ok. Gifts? Ooh.

RAWRNESS!

Drop & second-chance chest. Oh YEAH. (Phantasmal Raiment = Crowns Robe!)

I like this spell, but haven't used it yet. I rely a lot on Feint, so once I get Iceblade and face some Fire guys, I'll stock it up :)

You wish! This was a pretty fun challenge for the level, I was victorious (2000 health for Nimah).

Having a useful intelligent pondering er... 30 second meeting.

Brady the Sneak drop. Woah, who knew? Went to the MB Furniture Guide to submit this ASAP (anyways, woot, hehe)

Dundundun... my reaction was this... and hey, just because you're retired, don't go too heavy on the donuts, "Crankenhop".

Sorry, they did that in 1969, FYI, uneducated robber.

Thank goodness, I thought I had to fight Snowmen.

Oh, and btw, my picture of the Storm Serpent drop plus another picture or 2 is missing, so yes - I got a Storm Serpent pet from Clanker :).

We're not in Unicorn Way with Dorothy Gale anymore, Sprockets. But hey, thanks for the compliment, jealousy & lying -he didn't mess it up..-

I couldn't find the right cards and got crushed twice by Bellows. 3rd time interestingly enough, was a different story - complete rout. In Big Ben, with a lot of running back and forth, I made it to Spike the Crusher, went second and again couldn't find the big stock of Blizzards I had.. so had to bring in Arlen, I died, teleported back while stupidly killing Spike before Sophia got in the fight again and got nothing. You get the point :P. Meowiarty was a great fight -yes, solo-, and it ended up with me having no more attacks, an Ice Minion out, and waiting on pips for a good Ice Absorb, Meow had 800 health. So, Collossus' Ice Shark got in quadruple digits, and I figured he totally had the aggro from Meowiarty. Wrong. Meowiarty surprised me with a Storm Shark (I had 400 health) and an earlier Feint backfired on that, so I died, NEARLY winning. Meow's minions were gone, so I took him down quickly after porting back up to Arlen. And, as they say, it wasn't all bad. See picture above - Hop-Hopping Wand drop ;).

"See, Mr. Pembroke, if you had only allowed me to get the Krokonomicon earlier, none of this would've happened." *cricket chirps*

And after Mooshu introductories plus more MB sidequests (I know, I got to MS very quickly, but I DO have a ton of side quests to go back to), Sophia was LvL 35! I LOVE that kitty hat. Stitch it when I become Legendary? Duh..

And, on end notes, tomorrow Spring Break starts :D. Plus we have this awesome Conjurer Chant to say (GREAT drawing, Cass) to end the day. How many times has a creature spewed (like a Troll ^_^) words claiming to be greater then you, and you go on to whoop them? "Sudden end, indeed". And I think Grubb is a myth again, right?

Happy Questing!

P.S. Say Meowiarty in a British accent. Heheh.

Sights of the Spiral - Karanahn Palace/Barracks

It may be a bit overdue for one of these, and I needed to occupy a post, so I decided to spotlight where I'd seen some interesting scenes :)

Nomnom..

I liked the silhouette in this

Ascendant Staff pretending to be lightning ^_^

I've been wondering if Kingsisle has anything planned behind that door. When my Map was loading, 'Horned Barbarian' loaded for a second, which is a mob in DS. Hmm.

Sure is a nice place to rest

I like the storm feel here. Very nice! Especially the beginning stormy islands/bridges, I'd recommend taking a walk there should you want to be in KT :P. I've got a bit of progress and pictures on Sophia, so that will be next. I especially like the one w/the Krok dying and the Seahorse pose ;)

Happy Sightseeing!

Newbie News

So, I've been doing a bit of power-leveling and a teeny bit of running-around questing on my newbie account! Taken a lot of pics, of course.

Interesting. It seems Pots have replaced Short Square Vases in Dorms. Guess they want to give us a further head-start on gardening at LvL 12+

Sophia, as my only Ice wiz (besides the retired Pearlward) has gone first, hitting 18 doing the most questing, and is already close to KT. The others (except 2) are near 15 after joining MS Dungeon runs and are all set to advance to the 3 Streets.

I tend to be part of the Grammar Police, so I couldn't help but find this interesting. LOL, find the error yourself :).

One of the many animations I've encountered. Cool!

EXACTLY what real PvP trolls feel like. Egotistical, rude, will "prove" their point without any evidence, etc.

Tavia sporting her Contest Seahorse

1. I've found a couple errors in these "buy area" things, as you should be able to point out a #CassSpeak (should you ask, that is the special misspell alert named in honor of Cass Dragonheart :P) in there. BUT, it gets more interesting!

So, I exited that little brochure to buy Tatakai, and it let me walk down a road that feeds into there. Thing is, it let me keep walking.

So, I ended up in a big clearing quite like Oyotomi's Place, but a little wider and with Green Bamboo. And if you walk out, you end up in, well, Tatakai Outpost. Unless you mark your spot, you're basically trapped. Weird! I believe I came up on a video that showed this exact clearing, but I don't remember what its called (and, not surprisingly, the maker said it was "a secret". Not anymore, it isn't.)

Wise words from Wethersfield.

Another cool animation! Balance seems to fight and see all these random creatures from all schools in spell quests.

I noticed I was very close, so I sold a few teeny reagents to put it at the exact MAX number for no reason, xD. But there you go ;). I bought a Red Dragon so I wasn't uber-rich on Mycin anymore, and it will go well in a certain place when 'roaming mounts' come out.

Glitchy Seraph I passed by going to pick up some books. Seems to be raining glitchy white droplets O_o.

Except for Alura Dawneyes & Myrna Thunderslinger, I'm done taking them all through the MS Dungeons for gear & EXP to progress through WC/KT more easily. I won't be too sad if they ever take out 'power-leveling' in MS (they did in CL), but its helpful nontheless. Also, in the same Death Oni battle, Mycin got his 2nd wanted Gong of the Oni and Amy got a Dire Ghoul! Woot! Plus a neat Prof. Wu picture from Yakedo and various sweet gear for my newbies at 35/40 highlights the good drops. (Wavebringer continues to be stingy on the sweet Stormbat, but he dropped my second Bubbling Cauldron) And so today, I should get Alura and Myrna to LvL 15, then I suppose I'll do a lot of low-level mostly talking quests (not to mention Golem Tower) on the newbies so I can get my Balance & Death duos at the same point in quests. I might lessen my time on them after that, excepting taking them on bosses/dungeon runs I'm doing (like I seem to be getting a bit of Labyrinth askers lately, and I need some stuff in there!), but, we'll see. Plus, I've upgraded my wanted dream pet to: Pip O' Plenty, Feinting Spell, Spritely & Spell-Proof, and I just need to find someone with a pet with Feinting (Fierce Hounds can give it, so it shouldn't be hard to find someone) and mix a lot to hopefully in the end make an Egg with those, and eventually mix with my newbies when they get the gold, etc. I believe thats it for now..

Happy Farming!
