The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight

[LostKnight]

Russian Knight(82) came back tanking drains me but he is now K(83) ...

OOPS some one "blinked in" created spawn ... I almost died in the spawn ... K(83) died.

I go back in ... whoever 'blinked in' has left. K(83) not here, hope he comes back.

This is the dawning of the Age of FT World
The Age of FT World
FT World! FT World!

While today didn't start so good. I forgot: weekend ... kids ... no school ... it ended pretty neat.

There I was mining for iron ore (lvls up mining skill) to convert to Ingots.

Iron 5 ore = 1 Ingot & 10 Ingots = 26% chance to make lvl 75 plate
fail please fail ... levels up item skill if fails I'm at lvl 3 36/80 at the moment

And a Knight (4) stopped to watch. "Go hunt if you get into trouble come behind my pets."

K(4) I'm not hunting I'm looking for someone I was suppose to tank for but I think he got lost.
I zoom in K(41) DUH!!! "Good stuff" so he asked me what I was doing. I explained. the process and how I wanted it to fail blah blah ... and how it was better with a x3 speed pickaxe. And explained about the CONTEST on the forum ... he said he was going to sign up and try YEA!!!!!!

So he leaves .. when I'm done is head south time to the crafter ... fail fail fail YES!!!
and there's K(41) "What ya doing?"

"Tried to make lvl 50 legs but I can't, will you try for me?"
"Sure you got the stuff?" he give me three gold bars and the legs needed. (Now there's trust.)

"OK, cross your fingers ... here goes..."
"Oh oh ... OOPS!" and then I sold him the lvl50 legs @ $0 "It worked!"
"Hey great, Thank You! Now I have to find a pair of legs to wear." I looked, he was legless ... he gave me the Golden Legs he was wearing to make the lvl50 legs.

"Come with me to Silverwood, I'll buy you a pair, BUT you have to give them back when you get to lvl50. After all we can't have a Knight of the Land running around without legs now can we?"

"LOL I guess not" So K(41) is fully dressed and looking for my house and let's see if he really does return the legs I just bought him. I will keep everyone here posted!

so
- I'm levelling up mining skills, PLUS I got a meteor stone and a soul stone, and
- I'm levelling up my "items" skill - one failed to fail so I have a lvl75 plate to give away.

Items: 3 - 37k/80k <--- went up one since starting post
Pick: 5 - 796/1600
Axe: 4 - 328/800
Fishing: 4 - 59/320

GREAT way to end a day!!!!!

Items: 3 - 39k/80k
Pick: 5 - 1119/1600
Axe: 4 - 328/800
Fishing: 4 - 59/320

Been mining this AM --- more failed to fail then just failed. Have 4 lvl75 Iron plages to give away.

Going grinding 131 would look nice.

I craft lvl 40 robes in my archer sometimes. This system of lvl requires gold but well takes less time that mining)

YUP! I came to realize that after a while, lvl 40 robes are faster but the other way is free. I have spent 45+m so far on robes ... and not even 1/2 way through level 3. Very costly...

Items: 3 - 39k/80k

And since the 2nd Prize Winner of the "Find my House Contest" took a Mithril Fishing Rod, it's not a big rush anymore, so I have time to work on things.

Curious question: Die is a swarm, does one loose EXP?

[MadMikael]

Curious question: Die is a swarm, does one loose EXP?

When you die, you lose 10% of current xp.
No, you don't go down levels or anything like that.
I also believe, this xp is awarded to the victor in some form or fraction in PvP.
This may be in the manual (help) file, or elsewhere posted.
If not, it should be added.

[LostKnight]

I got swarmed and that's why I was asking. So someone swarms me and I loose 10%? Nothing to do with PvP.

Doesn't sound fair. (Opinion)

FT 14-11-2017 @ 15:36 = lvl 134!!! That's two levels this morning (11:36 Local) OH YEA!!!!

Pistachio has convinced me that I should get Staff Stans at lvl136 so I'm like a kid at Christmas trying to get to 136

Only 2 to go!

Yesterday I died twice fighting red monsters, the second time during a ribeye, (private joke) and was swarmed a couple of times that I managed to make it to the doors and safety.

The first time I died, I didn't realize until I was just about to falls asleep that is wasn't on purpose. It was like in a dream ...

Let me explain!

Yesterday was our 15th anniversary of living together (Wedding in August so 15ys next year) and my wife walked over and planted a big one on me - just because! When she was done and I looked back down at the tablet I was surrounded, two deep, with red monsters. And I was "redlining" ... ... ...

UP POPS THE "SKULL!" GRRRRRR!

And there were three more swarms during the day, I died in the last (ribeye) one because I was writing down the name!

As I was about to fall asleep it hit me about the first instance ... a "shadow figure" (skin) was mixed in with the swarm trying to get them away and at the top of the screen

SOMENAME: Run!

So who ever you are, if you're reading this, No harm, no foul, no hard feelings ... the kiss was worth it!

However to the guy that caused two of the other swarms yesterday ... no such kind feelings.

Ending post with: lvl 134 3285k/36906k

[LostKnight]

hahahahaha

"Edit: by Arashiko to correct spelling of one word. "

OH boy, am I going to keep you busy, I am the "worlds worst sppeler" (done on purpose) and "worlds worst tpyerst" too! (again on purpose) I really try to proofread everything, but sometimes a typo forms another real word and OOPS! missed it.

Anyway ... yesterday was really interesting. As see with the post above I started that post at level 134 and I'm at 137 now a 1/3 of the way to 138.
It was a ride ... long day I was awake at 07:30 local, so not to flip/flop in bed and wake my wife I always get up. Came to the game and again went for red monsters.

Favourite place was taken so I turned west and walked along the top! Oh oh! a red monster behind me, ducked into a corner that had a little red crystal type rock beside me. GREAT only one attacker at a time. AWESOME! I spent most of the day there.

Now here's the thing, a strategy if you will: for knight with Flame Sword.

1. if no one is around, staying as close to the corner as you can, use the Flame Sword! Very fast kill. Then before taking three steps south to cause another spawn ... making haste back to corner, take the time to stand still and "health up".
2. if you don't make it back to the corner you might get a steady spawn and might always have two on you and you are pinned, can't get out, I died twice like that. Live (or die) and learn

IF there are people spawning to your left or right spawning with pets - or worse left and right spawning with pets, you might get them coming faster than you want, and die. Not really a mean thing, not done on purpose so BRING HEALTH!/clan_invites auto-decline

Also I am still doing this: Swapping these out when I need to health up and swapping back to fight.

To health up:
Bronze Bracelet - - lvl: 30
Dmg: +03 - Arm: +00 - Dex: +03
Other: +10% hp regen speed

To fight:
Apprentice Warrior's Ring - - lvl 100
Dmg: +10 - Arm: +10 - Dex: +10

Trust me, in the long run, it really helps (at least at my level).

Today: I start the day at level 137 and 1/3 of the way to lvl 138 and I've got my twins! ( twins = Staff Stans )

And it seems every day I an being invited to join this or that clan way too many times.
Hmmmm maybe a command line switch for suggestions and new ideas:

Code: Select all

and the number of people selling lvl 1 stuff for 1000000 incredible!
