Let’s have some random Screenshots first, shall we not?

Bad grammar brings bad misunderstandings. Besides, no one can steal teh Silvar. ^^

I found yet another clone! Even if she is a Sniper, and wears a Green Lineros, and is seven levels higher than me, but it was still fun.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been collecting random ‘grats from the BL and Guild, all of whom never thought they’d see the day that I will get to third job. XD One random stranger even congratulated me too.

I also realised how much attention a Dark Patriot gets; I got stopped more than once by random strangers who request for a demonstration of Strafe (which I happily showed off, of course. ), and even got famed once by a little Bowman while hanging around talking to my friend. I also made a new friend of another aspiring Ranger (That’s AimingRanger ^^), after answering his interrogation on how to add Bowman skills, and was christened his ‘Jie’ (aka Elder Sister). Whee.

But then again, not all the attention is, um, desirable.

I saw this guy TeddyBearz in the Excavation Site II, and joined his party to help him complete that ‘Murder 200 wooden and 300 Stone Faces in the name of Archaeology NAO!!’ quest. I continued to help him get kills even after he went AFK, figuring I had nothing better to do anyway since I was so bored and unmotivated for training, and when we came back, we started to chat a bit to make the hunting less monotonous.

That kind of paid back for me in the Karma kind of way, I suppose, because I somehow managed to get an Equipment drop whilst hunting. (Sadly, it looked like nothing Spartan, and I couldn’t help feed the ‘300’ obsession of fellow Jr. Master, Hypy. :X Lunar, you two ‘Spartas’ should have met up. )

Also, after Teddybearz completed the quest, I accompanied him to finish it up at Winston and discovered that hey, I had to do that same oh-so-noble deed as well. He stayed to help (even if he kept DC-ing), and I was glad for the company, not to forget the additional assistance in torturing silly Winston for giving me only 30 blue pots for all that effort. >

The Cashshop reason for his name.

But things started to get a little, uh, creepy when I completed the quest.
At first, he only kept asking if I had a ‘bf’ or wanted one; I told him I didn’t have one and wasn’t looking for one either. Usually, the, um, prospective suitor would get dissuaded at this point in time (either that or say something like ‘Look lah, there’s one right beside you’ and laugh it off), but he just kept pressing the issue and started to call me ‘darlin’. >>;

Then he suddenly switched to chatting in whisper, whilst before, we had been chatting in ‘To All’. But it didn’t take long for me to figure out why.

TeddyBearz: have u done it before?
SilverFx: *confused*
SilverFx: done what?
TeddyBearz: u know, done it
SilverFx: huh?
TeddyBearz: when girl meets guy, things happen.
TeddyBearz: do u wanna try
SilverFx: ?
TeddyBearz: do u wanan (sic) try smth fun =x
SilverFx: what?
TeddyBearz: funn (sic)
TeddyBearz: u wan? =p
SilverFx: what kind of fun? ‘Suiciding in the dungeons’ fun?
TeddyBearz: no
TeddyBearz: in reality

*shudders*
That’s when this little realisation dawned: HE WAS FREAKING HITTING ON ME?! o_O;;; [insert weirded-out noises]

It wasn’t the worse of the indecent proposals, oh no. There were worse ones, but they are too… inappropriate to post on this website. They wouldn’t be out of place in pr0n sites though.
Even though they weren’t quite as bad as what DaMunky89 can give *glares pointedly*, the crude way this guy puts it is simply NOT amusing.

One thing though, Munky, kudos to you for having given me a degree of immunity. XD

Imppala was on the phone (again), and I asked him for help. He told me to tell that guy ‘Dude, I’m a guy,’ but I didn’t say that, despite the delicious possibilities it might have. I just pretended to not get everything he said, and ignored him to talk to the Guild and the BL.

Luckily, his DC-ing spree continued, and he kept on lagging out, so I was safe say… half the time? >

Thank goodness it all happened before I decided to add this ‘nice guy’ to the buddy list. >>;

I BLAME IT ON THE STUPID STUPID STUPID! ROSE HAIR! >O!
Oh, and the sexehness of Ranger-hood. Duh.

A Maple day after that traumatising incident, my long-time Maple friend, Berry, flew back to Victoria and took me on the Tour of Training Spots in Victoria, as a side thing to his crazy urge to level up to 71 asap after his advancement on 29th April. (Yup, that’s the same day as my own 3rd job advancement. )

First stop!

It was pretty okay, but you have to walk pretty far in, if you wanted to save on the VIP taxi fare. The Tauroses, after the silly incident in the 3rd job fight (where I had to get rid of all of the summoned Tauroses or else I’ll never be able to make space in my full ETC inventory for the Dark Charm), were pretty easy to handle, since I could bomb away until they got stunned, then slowly snipe away. XD
I didn’t have much time to time the EXP gain here though, because Berry got lazy to pot and wham!

He died.

And with a ‘stupid Tauros’, he dragged me off to the next stop.

*ding!* [Insert pleasant female voice] ”Passengers transferring to Vanished Village, Zipangu, please alight here at the Mushroom Shrine and walk to the top most portal at Crow Forest II, then trek all the way inside.”

Oh my gawd, it was such freaky EXP gain. I think I gained like, 0.7% in one minute. I never hit that kind of rate before. Those green Water Goblin thingoes just kept on spawning like no tomorrow, and three people using the same map will still enjoy a superb spawn. I suspect this was like what the Zombie maps used to be, back then when there were no steps to hinder archers, but I have never been to those Zombie maps. *shrug*

(At this point in time, what would you guys think if you knew that the song playing in my background is ‘Tarzan and Jane’ by Toybox? )

Also, the Mana elixirs just keep dropping over there! From 21 Mana Elixirs in my Use inventory, I collected about 140 Mana Elixirs. *falls over* And I was using those Elixirs too!

There were pretty good drops as well; I managed to get two ‘The Rising’s and a Serpent Coil.

Over there, though, we almost got into a KS war, since Berry was telling off this DK MythOrMagic for killing the spawn as she passed even though he said not to, and the DK got mad over that. She left after seeing that Berry wouldn’t say sorry though, but not before increasing the spawn by that impossible bit more with her KS-ing. XD

A Sniper, Archernut, came in as well, and proceeded to demonstrate all his Sniper skillz. Sweet stuff, sweet stuff. I liked the Golden Hawk, and I still don’t understand why THE Sniper colour is gold while THE Ranger colour is silver. >>
Golden Hawks are so much nicer. :3

But Berry thought he used too many pots for training there, and dragged me off to the next stop again.

*ding!* [Re-insert same pleasant female voice] “Next stop, The Secret Spa (F), Showa Town, Zipangu. Passengers alighting here, please pay 300 mesos and strip off all your armour before you enter into the very bowels of Hell that provides the Spa with never-ending heat under the time-honoured contract as signed by the old crone at the door with Zakum.”

At least, that’s my theory about it.

It was good EXP gain there as well, as long as I had Berry or someone else clearing the top platforms. I also obtained a couple of equipment drops there, the top prize of which is a pair of Fallen Leaf Earrings that add 1 magic attack. :3

*heart!* Chilli Slimes!

But the ultimate prize there to be had is a set of Steelies, which Berry is dying for. I can only wish him luck for it. ^^

In conclusion, I have never gained EXP at this rate ever since I went into a semi-comatose stage to prepare for my Major MAJOR exams last year. I suppose I might level up by the end of this week, but I’m just sad I can’t catch up with Berry, who is probably lvl 71, 70% by time of this post. I really like training with that dude, G.I.R.L that he is, and training with friends that you know won’t slack off and leech your EXP is such a joy, y’know? :/

But he says he’s staying at them Chilli Slimes until 8x, so I guess I’ll still have company until then.

Meanwhile, on the FlyFF side, I have been pretty active too. (Kinda.) I levelled the SilverFx there on the Mia servers from level 32 to level 34 in two days, using the time that I spent waiting for Berry to get online to train. But the main computer is internetless now, and the Laptop still can’t play FlyFF, so I’ll have to abandon FlyFF SilverFx for another while more. :X

Oh. And I had a great birthday. But it was, happily, a strictly offline business (save for some dips into YouTube for Weird Al Yankovich songs, heh), so I suppose I kinda do have a life away from the Internet. Joy!

So that basically is all. Cookies to ya, and happy Mapling/FlyFFing/[insert other MMORPG]ing! ^^
