Yea yea yea, I've had my Blue Spandex Ninja Suit treated with a new Extra Strong Stomach Acid protection layer that means you can't even digest me. And then MadMikael gave me a brand new "concept" LK Blade that will cut through anything faster than a hot knife through butter.

Now put that together along with the fact when you peed on my left boot you inadvertently hardened it to to become the Weapon of Mass Distruction. So I'll just kick you and you'll go down for the 10 count. I'll only kick you lightly or else your lights would go out forever, don't wanna do that to a friend.

Been doing some mining/crafting ... while waiting to figure out a problem I was having with a quest.

Grabbed 21 shields made the steel and with a "hoping to succeed at failing" attitude I brought my Mith percentile chance up from 22 to 23%. Ahhhh the smell of success, but I failed 4 times and what do I do with shields worth 1m. I know!!!! Off to Silverwood plains I went. Stood right in the middle of a swarm and said:
Who will give me a bow?
Some gamer(44) tried spam selling me something 3 or 4 times - no bow though. Finally a mage(101) gave me a bow, I immediately gave him a shield and green texted him that it would sell for 1m. The "OMG TY" was worth it.
Spammer kept spamming as I asked again:
Who will give me a bow?
no one....
So I logged out ... now I'm guessing the word spread because a few minutes later, maybe 10:
Who will give me a bow?
and I refused the bows but gave 3 people the last three shields.

NOW THAT FELT GOOD!!

Also, I have been doing some lvl 250 questing ... nice levelling up that. Made it in past the ice covered opening and into the Underground Village. Once I got where things were such that I am almost dieing a few times I yelled for my very special TANK: OH GOLGREN! - because he was online -- and as luck would have it, he had some free time. Those Trappers that like to gang fight didn't have a chance against GOLGREN! One on one I could manage, but these guys are like wolves, they hunt in 'packs'. That got me two of the three portals, and once I got the lvl 100 amulet from another friend I went back and filled in the last portal. Back to the Underground Village and the Village Elder.

He said to talk to the mage who was trying to fix the portal ... the mage said do NOT steal anything from his house. And when I got there I saw a chest with a (?) - AHA!, and an evil grin as I walked around it and back into the portal. I'm no thief! Keep doing that until the portal works. He'll tell you when ...

Next back to the Village Elder again. OK check the four houses and make sure the chests are secure and if I find any thieves kill them. Left every house with a red life line. But I did it. You know what he gave me, besides levelling up, was "OH WOW!" worth it. Now I have to:

Code: Select all

Find the people suspected having stole the jewelry from the portals.
So today I went off on a different track, with a LOT of help from Dave_mago, Back into the Centre House to talk to the chained up mage for the final time. How he remembers the path through the maze is amazing! I'd get lost in a blink AND DIE! But that opened up the Kraken Island quest.

Dave asked me if I had an Iron Sword. I checked, nope, so I told him I'd make him one, "free". He helped me, I'll help him. Well, he asked for one ... BUT, always a but, huh!

While I was mining the iron or I met someone that offered 2m for meteor stones. Collecting 2 in the mine while getting ore for Dave's sword, I 'gave' them to him. He kept asking others as well, so finally when I went home I collect the 7 I had and went back to the mine. 14m gold later I was ready. Had 50 Iron Ingots and went and bought 10 Claymores at Banktown, that's 7m worth. Already 7m profit. Back to The Rock. Put the 50 ingots in my bag with the 10 swords and as fast as I could clicked on the "Iron Sword" covering results with my hand/arm.

After 5 - I looked and WOW! Made two! Dave, said he's buy the two, no, first is free as I said. I told him I was going to sell the other one. "I'll buy it!" he says, so I set it up for 15m and he said 20m. So Dave helped me get a few levels he got 2 Iron Sword for a total of 20m and I'm 27m richer. Works well.

And now the Kraken Island and the Mage's Tower quest

OK, I know roughly where it is ... Blitzbee Island ... I'm all over that places, the bees one on one or even two I can handle. Down into dungeons out the other side to another part of the island OH NO! Mushies ... RUN.... back down into the tunnels. I see someone at the lower right corner sucking a swarm of something ... so I get as close as I can, a wall between us and:

Code: Select all

Do you know what the mage's tower is?
Enter Killerxnd,

Code: Select all

yes, follow the path to where I am
... and that set off a whole new adventure of "maze work" that leaves me dizzy. BUT I talked to who I need to and bingo I'm at level: 262

Later tonight, or tomorrow, or the day after, or as soon as Killerxnd get his lvl 600, he said he wanted it tonight, he is going to help find the suspected thieves of the "portal jewels"
I'll fight for what I think is right!

Should have opened the chest with ? Mark in the chest in mage house in underground village.. it has 500 gloves.... would have sold good price or would have helped u when u reach 500
What is Death!!
To think our self confidence is lower than that of our enemies is Death!!
Staying alive in battlefield in fear of our enemies is Death!!
Running from our enemy instead of fighting is Death!!

Chest has ranged gloves. Not stealing gives you melee ones. ;)

Spawn killing pets is a part of this game and in the past week I have lost at least 6-8 shop pets mining mithril under Silverwood.

Tonight, I made one load safely. The second load, I no sooner get started and I see someone dragging a spawn to the entrance and my pets. Logged, bringing the pets to me in the mithril room, logged right back in and see the guy going back to where he had been, just south of the entrance creating large spawns and killing them.

(Sentence deleted - would not have gotten me banned, but not worth the reaction it might cause.)

A little later, two people enter the mithril room with their pets and BANG dog gone -- with 20 mithril ore -- and I just made it out with the spider. But to make things worse ... they follow me dragging the spawn behind them. So I logged again. Still off as I write this.

No more, until I get pets that can handle a red monster spawn, I go alone and only come out with enough mithril ore to make 6 mithril ingots.

And to think, as soons as I could go in there alone, I have been making Mithril Tools, not to sell, never sold a single one, but to to give them away! I gave my last set away a few days ago, I guess the next set will be a LONG time coming.

Sorry about that.

EDIT: Of course I will not kill the spider as long as I am mining and don't need The Twins. But it's only a matter of time I suspect. Will give me 10 bars until he's gone.
I'll fight for what I think is right!
