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"
