I’m at level 80. I started the kwsnw char on June 15th, 2006. On December 31st, 2007, I hit the 80 mark. One of the reasons I’m making this blog is to show what things were like back then. Like…

-Aqua road was not released in GMS
-GMS drops were the same as MSEA drops
-Khaini had just been opened a few weeks prior
-The last maps to be added were the Omega Sector maps
-Asianic bows (lvl 60) went for at least 25 mil clean, Ilbis 22-23 mil, and Blue Screamers (2h sword lvl 80) over 50 mil clean
-Guild PQ, Pirate PQ, Orbis PQ, and Ludi Maze PQ were all unheard of
-Scania had the only legit Zakum run (I think)
-Tiger was #1 on the ranks
-You couldn’t fight Pap yet (and pianus for that matter)
-It was NX cash, not Nexon cash
-No hired merchants
-Zombies didn’t have a timer and were the place to train for 5x and above
-And may other things I can’t think of read more

And I hit 77!

Let me tell you this right now…

College uses a lot of time. And the connection there sucks due to file sharers.

Anyway, after a long day of grinding, channel surfing in the FM, I get called over the one place I never would think of going to…

Himes. Yes, himes. My guild leader, his GF, and a priest were there and they wanted to see how well I’d do there. read more

Seriously, they are. I saw someone’s 120 video, and he had some interesting stats in it.

First off: the % of the GMS population that are archers is only 15.3% (all types mind you), or around 778000 players as I write this (not so sure on the %, but pretty sure on the number of players)
Second off: the highest GMS archer under 70 is ranked 6254. That means there are 6253 3rd job archers, or .8% of the archer population has made it that high.
Thirdly: I’m rank 4521, or level 73, around 53%. Look up the same rank for every other job, it’s warriors 91, thieves 92, mages 97. read more

Note: THESE ARE NOT ALWAYS TRUE.

-The lower someone’s secondary stat is, the more likely the person is to be an jerk.
-The lower the level that someone has a z-helm, the more likely they are going to be an jerk.
-Archers tend to be the best KS’ers except at FoG. Then they’re the worst (without rain mind you). Despite this fact, they don’t go KS people often.
-Sins hate archers, and archers hate sins.
-DK’s almost always need a priest.
-Thieves are ADHD poster childs (haste).
-The amount of hackers someone reports is a reflection on how much of a life they have or lack.
-NX wh0res, while annoying at times, do keep the game free for the rest of us.
-The bigger the ass a high level is, the more (s)he has been asked for money and other items.
-The report button does work, just not instant gratification.
-GMs do exist, you just don’t know they’re there.
-The higher the level of someone’s “main”, the more likely they’re lying about it.
-No one listens to smegas calling for defames or reports.
-People who makes lists like these are either bored or just lacking a life.
-All fame does is allow you to do a handful of quests and wear dark/black armor.
-Mass defame threats are one thing: petty.
-Killing monsters from summon bags at HHG/KPQ/LPQ will get you yelled at. read more

zOMG BLOG SPREE!

So I finally got around to another pro/con, warriors, the opposite of archers. This will be short, since I don’t know much.

General pros:
Highest HP
Highest weapon attack
Highest weapon defense makes up for sucky avoid
First job mob skill

General Cons:
Equips and related scrolls tend to be expensive
Bottom basement accuracy and avoid
HP pots get expensive
Lowest MP
Slowest physical attacks
Easily KS’ed read more

I’m alive still, despite the length since the last blog.

At 1:12 AM, August 21st…

I ceased to be a hunter =D. I finally advanced. I looked at my previous quests to see how long ago I did the noob ones. June 2006. It’s been that long since I first started kwsnw.

Anyway, on to what happened. Two of my guildies had classes the next morning, but I was able to convince them to stay on since we had a whole fog map and I was near leveling. At 11:20, it happened. After a few congrats, it was a mad dash to Ellina to catch the ship (we just did too). Anyway, after scrolling down the tower and back up, it’s back to Henesys for part one. And I died T_T. Second time I beat her, but I had to use ice cream pops (yay for wasting money). Back to Nath, this time, I had to climb down. Anyway, unlike the fighting part, I breezed through the quiz part (one try =D). Shortly after strafing a few jetis, I logged out for the night… read more

Why do they call the buildings camps, and the outside areas tombs, wouldn’t it be the other way around?

Anyway, on to the topic.

So, looking at Silver’s blogs, she had screens of her training at skeletons. So I thought, why not go give it a shot. After getting there, I noticed they weren’t that hard to kill, were way easier than zombies, no poison or ranged attacks to dodge, great drops, ten times less crowded, and a hundred times easier to get to (playing dodge the lycan isn’t fun). read more

Found some more old ones

link My friend nam likes something other than MS XD (see chat)

link Highest perma noob in windia (now 7x)

link First crimson rog death

link playing chicken

link and link = smega spam

all I could find of my old screens sadly.

Yeah, I’m doing archers first. If I miss something, tell me.

Pros:
Unparalleled accuracy (yay for soloing spears at 56)
Insanely useful 3rd job skills (strafe =D)
Unlimited arrows in 2nd job
Cheapest of the two “physical” ranged classes
Cheaper equips in later levels
Largest range of any class
2nd job mob skills
Critical hit in 1st job
2nd best avoid read more

Just saw a thread on basil saying “archers are underrated”. In a way, we are. Compared to all the other classes, we have fewer high levels, and every class has higher levels than us. Go to the GMS rankings, and search for the 10000th rank for each job, if you noticed archer’s are in the 50’s compared to everyone else’s. read more
