Ah, More Rooftop-Running! :)

Yes, I'm still alive, just a computer malfunction. 15 days.. thats a record I don't want to break any time soon. But, I've got a spiffy new free one (warranty!), so I'm back in business as of yesterday. Those goals earlier in the month, quite a bit too much now, but I hope to capitalize on at least a couple.

With many things to load, you may encounter things like this. My current project, taking a break from much Housing, is Tavia & Tristan, the Balance Duo. Tavia now stands at 27, Tristan 26. I'm doing zero side quests (excepting Zeke and spells), as I plan to see if doing Wintertusk will be enough to get to 60. If not, I'll just do a couple WT side-quests. Side-quests are kinda overrated :P and I've made a bit of progress in 1 day, from the beginning of the Hall of Champions to the end of Chelsea Court!

1. Catch-up (saw the new house-items *SQUEE!*), restart gardens - thankfully, I had hardly any casualties there. Good plants!

2. I went from the middle of Sunday afternoon to the darkest hours of night questing the Duo to Marleybone (and ok, fooling around with some Skype night-owls). The Krokosphinx brings back old memories of my IRL friend racing through that part. Going to see him for the first time in 2+ years next week too! :D

3. Grizzleheim. I've figured its probably a bit less tedious going through around the right levels, so I spent a while beating Savarstaad Pass last night after Krokotopia, and today, Vigrid Roughlands/Frostholm, right after Tristan hit 25. Giving Sandstorm a lot of action, with Spectral Blast squirming in for Boss-beatings. Very soon, it will be Judgement! ^-^ Hey, maybe I'll try some PvP once Tristan gets it.

So, going into Tavia, I got the Bolt Blade and Meti Karanahn Statue in Karanahn Palace! Also, I randomly realized I hadn't seen the smaller KT House - Oasis Camp - in ages, so I previewed that and was surprised by how little I remembered. Its small, but a great house for an archaeology/camp theme, so I bought it on a 10,000 gold-costing whim. But, they both have around 50k gold, not many problems.

Into the Dragon's Hoard and Furniture News..

Many new & existing (note KT statues. For some reason, I farmed Khai Amahte over a 100 times for his Statue. Now..) furniture pieces arrived in the Shop! You can see some of them here if you can't log on. I splurged on the Kimono to complete my collection, a Well, and the small Moodha statue to further light up my nearly-completed Mooshu house. I'm sure I'll get all the KT ones soon, as well. The suitcase was a must to spice up my MB Bedroom too! Plus, I'll have to try those dramatic masks soon. Oh, its like a Houser's dream.

Also, the Dragon Hoards are now half-off! No, really - I'm shamelessly buying too many again, my crowns on second account dropped by a few thousand. I got 3(!) Dragon Wings, Sea Dragon pet, and just about all level 20 gear you can get, among other things. Can never get those spiffier Dragon pets, whats up with them? I'll probably splurge a little again for the 60 sword and those pets soon :P. Buy more while you can, and try not to become hopelessly addicted to them.

Next time, I'll share the long Fiction I wrote for Summer English (hey, it got me into Honors) which has to do a lot with Marleybone. That should show how much I enjoy going through it. To the Ironworks!

Happy Questing!

P.S. With the boom of new bloggers, if you would like to be added on that blogroll over there and notice you aren't, just notify me with a comment or e-mail. Its hard to keep up. Thanks!

Btw, Aren't Manders Cute?

Hey everyone! Half the time these past couple days, my computer's been very frustrating to use, the other half it runs completely fine, so you never know the slow or fast phase will kick in. It was in the slow phase for the last half-hour but might be back-up.. anyways, I've still gotten some done (though I admit a lot of time has been spent on KI Free Games....)

This is what the Couch Potatoes are watching. Apparently the frozen TV in a fuzzy W101 Plant commercial. How do they enjoy watching this for nonstop days?

But they still seem to. Awe!

Now, who is this? (Actually, I forgot his name... lets call him 015) My sort-of-secret project, its a 3rd account! (Arlen! Are you becoming hopelessly addicted? So sad..) No, no, I'm never going to pay for anything in IRL $$$ on this one, its completely experimental, and the pet & sword are from KIFG. Its like TFN's total newbie account, basically. I've also made a secret project for a wizard on this account, Terri Unicorngrove, that shan't be revealed ;) oh ok, the main point of the account is how high a level I can get on a FTP (nerd gamer term - Free To Play) account. But Terri's one is a little different.

This was just a random one when my computer was going through a 'slowww' phase. As you can see, my player and House hadn't loaded, so I took a snapshot on this angle when that lightning hit the tower ^-^

And, my Questing fever reached a new height and I didn't have much else to do, so why not get on the Balance duo when my computer was running well? (It incidentally completely froze up on the 2nd quest in the Hall of Champions, so, 2 hours on 2 accounts, not bad) I'm completely skipping side quests, too.

• 
  
• They're annoying.
• I'll make up for it when I do GH/WT
• See if no side quests except for GH/WT works to get to Legendary

This is a good strategy for you MB-haters out there tired of delivering purses (*cough* Kath Lightwielder *cough* - also props to her very intelligent posts, count this as a shoutout ;)), which I admit, I'm a little tired of too. I'll miss some of the puns, but the good outweighs bad, right? I'm already itching (ok, not counting the mosquito that found my leg tasty) to get to MB again! Squee!

So, the screenshots are from the Mander Minion quest - Tristan is 20, Tavia is nearly 22. From Assistant Dansforth to Nekhbet, not bad. So... that does kind of wrap it up. I've gotten quite a few new goodies from KIFG, too :) thats one excuse I've played a little less lol. Oh yes, lastly, I finished Ravenwood Radio Transcription #41 after a few hours of work, so KBB should have it up soon here. (Contact him if you'd like to do some!) Pretty tough, but definitely worth it!

Happy Questing!

FOGgy Prizes!

Hey everyone :) as you can see, my pretty much completed MFP/DS is in the above video. Big House. I'll buy that DS Craft Crowns Table thingy when I get the MSP Pack later. I think I'm getting it in about 2 weeks, after the Summer School? Thats half-way over. We'll see.

So, I've actually done a little bit on Dugan, my Fire wiz. Does anyone remember the Giving Tree? Yeah.. I just planted that on him.. *blush*. So, now I have a Parsley Garden on Arlen (and 2 Couch Potatoes I won from Diana Wildheart! :D), 2 Prickly Bear ones on Mycin (some turned Elder this morning :)), an almost-done Pink Dandelion plot on Tarlac (once I have enough Black Pearls), and a small Giving Tree/several Pink Dandelion garden on Dugan. I've cleaned out his storage-KT House and put a couple things in to start it off, actually, as well. Plus I'm still trying for a little Yardbird item right now. LOL. Not much else going on in-game there. In-game, that is :P

2 big items I've received from www.KIFreeGames.com! :D the Lightningbat was from a Twitter code they gave out, but you can only redeem one of them once a month. A little long, hope they will change to at least a week.. although one person got 600 crowns! o_O :D also, I've won a FOG Unicorn (3!), Blue Raptor Sword (uber-cool looking, definitely stitch worthy), and that wand above, among other things. Well, HERE'S a list of prizes you can get, to be honest. And HERE'S a list of Magazine codes, many being available from KIFG prizes. Doodle Dug is probably the quickest by far, lol. I just want a Shardtail Dragon on main account and FOG Unicorn for Storm newbie on 2nd account now, played a lot the past couple days.

Not much other news.. I'm going to work on Ravenwood Radio Episode #41 transcription a bit more, soon. Its fun to get involved in the community :) remember to give KBB a ring if you want to get involved! It takes a while, buts its very helpful to some wizards. Have a good end-of-the-week!

Happy Farming!
