The one about botters

So with v3.0 every sGE player was blessed with another gift: being unable to report/being reported as a bot, resulting in mass botting by 72% of the servers population. Joining which ever map you chose, the best places were takenby botters, especially those with fast/semi-fast spawns.

Skull dungeon 1 was full till the last spot. Topolo was full, IOF's were full. (I remember this one guy that spend like 6 days in the Topolo spawn, next to the stairs of hell, using jack, musk and a fighter.)Seriously, spending all those Toolboxes has to hurt yet budget, no matter how many lvl you gain. I can't even imagin what it looked like in AT/FT territories. (no I mean seriously, I was out in the cold for like 5 hrs, and I'm a bit under the influence of certain liquid substances, which were the only thing keeping us warm).

Anyway... hope tomorrows maintenance will fix some things, especially those with bot report windows, and certain GP stuff. Which was another smooth move by IAH : release this and this many "extra" items and "free" characters, or "increase" drops in certain games, and then make then unable to be used lol. (If I'm speaking about my example, my purchase at offgamers.com was like... well... held back as I may call it, meaning: the day IAH said that every purchase of GP's will get you extra 14kGP's until the end of stock, I bought 2x 70k which should result in extra 28k GP...buutttt.. as every scientist knows, theory is different than practice, my order was held long enough, for them to "just run out of speciall offers", so I wasn't given a right to get my extra GP's lol :D)



among other things: Selva is just nearing her 90, can't wait to use all of those exp cards on her (got for about 28mil exp), to boost her lvls with only clicking :D.

The one about getting Selva

With 22nd of jan. sGE servers were blessed with v3.0, which brought us expert stances, 3 new rnpcs, and other sweet things:)


The char that i was looking forward the most, was ofc Selva.combined with Gavin& edward she's the tank of the team.

So, 1st thing you need when you recruit her, is to finish ALL the Pioneering quests, Bahama Quests, Katovic quests, need to have Gavin quests done, and you need to complete Tierra putrefacta quests. (It's alot of prequisits, but it's worth it.)

So selva is one of those "free" rnpc's that are free to recruit, but need Gpoints to craft her glove to get her exclusive stances. (Smooth move IAH, smooth move ^^)

So the quests starts (after you completed all of her quests), in auch by Leonore. you need 2x Hero's seal. (so tough luck if you used all of them in hunter missions or you never went to PY)

-Go to Port of Coimbra and talk to Nunez.
-Go to Gehenna Bridge, the last level of Prision de Jaquin, and talk to the Gatekeeper to open the entrance to Corridor of Assize. You need a Key to Corridor of Assize to do so. The key is a rare item drop from bosses in all levels of Prision de Jaquin and from Bellem Boxes. (4hour respawn time on the raid boss there)
-Enter the Corridor of Assize, kill the Chrysalis, and the subsequent Dr. Fran. The Corridor of Assize is a non-instanced raid, and the Chrysalis can several hours to spawn depending on when the previous Chrysalis was killed.
-Return to Nunez.
-Go to Katovic Snowfield and talk to Ludeza. You will receive a Ghost Nucleus.
Go to Frozen Plain. Drag 1 Ghost Nucleus from inventory and drop it into Rynn's Heart. The purpose is to summon a lvl110 quest version of an Avalanche Apparation. It can take several attempts before the Apparation is successfully summoned, so keep inserting the Ghost Nuclei one by one until it appears. Should you run out of Ghost Nuclei, you can exchange for more from Ludeza at the cost of 20 Wolf Meat and 10 Elviot's Leather each. Wolf Meat is a common item drop from Artic Wolves in Katovic Snowfield. Elviot's Leather is a common item drop from Elviot in Frozen Plain. (the aparittion has a 2hr respawn time, so do check both channels, if you get a "too early to summon" error) for this part you probably need squad, unless you're imba, cuz the boss is rather annoying (7mil HP, 58 AR/DR)
-Kill the Avalanche Apparation.
-When the Avalanche Apparition is dead, Montoro will appear near the entrance of the cave of Rynn's Heart. Kill him as well.
-Return to Ludeza.
-Go to Frozen Plain and talk to Invierno to start an instanced mission involving combat. Within the mission, defeat Selva to proceed.
-Talk to Invierno again.
Go to the Laboratory in Dr. Torsche Mansion and talk to Dr. Torsche.
Click on the bookshelf along the southern wall of the Laboratory to start an instanced mission. Inside the mission, click on the statue to get the next quest. You can leave the area once you get the quest.
-Go to Frozen Plain and talk to Invierno.
-Collect 10 Philosopher's Stones and 1 Katovic Soup. Philosopher's Stone is a common item drop in the Katovic Region. Katovic Soup is a normal consumable item that can be obtained by using Invierno's cooking pot. To cook the soup, you need to complete the Katovic quest line to gain access to Invierno's cooking pot, as well as to collect another 20 Golden Apples (from Eltetah trees in Katovic Snowfield and Frozen Plain), 50 Wolf Meat (from Wolves in Katovic Snowfield), 50 Beet (from Gorillas in Frozen Plain), and 50 Cabbages (from Lazim Lams in Katovic Snowfield). (Katovic Soup is/was also available from Adelina's Booty Search in sGE.)
-Talk to Invierno again.
-Return to Dr. Torsche's Mansion and reenter the instanced mission with the statue. Click on the statue again to start an easy combat.
-Talk to Dr. Torsche to receive Selva Character Card, Cauchemar Stance Book, Rapida Espada Stance Book, and Recipe - Selva's Armshield.

if you enchant your armshield and fail, you can always buy more recipes for it, by talking to dr. Torsche.

after that, return to barracks, and create Selva [RNPC Initial level: 60] x1 ^^




now, when you vet Selva, you get to learn the both stances. one of them is for tanking, and the other one is for dealing large amounts of dmg, thanks to 30% crit bonus from her stance >.<
(getting hit by that will probably hurt you plenty)

when you Vet her, either give her STR bonus (for 20% attack increase, and all skill related attacks), or give her AGI, which will provide a 10% attack bonus, to all her skill related attacks, Attack speed, and Block chance. (i'm gonna go with STR/AGI one at vet lvl, one at exp level.)


PS: Kudos to bookofthewind, for providing the quest guide, you trully rock man ^^

The one about my absence

So yeah i guess I was away for a month or two, but I didn't expect those shocking changes. Nostalgia has fallen apart, people moved on, I'm still stuck in the stupid jail, because I can't read korean.

crap.

Anyway, Happy new year to everyone, sorry I wasn't online with you guys, I was stuck @ work for the evening. Which sounds worse that it was. ATM I'm studying my ass off, since my exam era just started, but I promised those NoS ppl I'll join them ASAP.

So I'm really looking forward to seeing the v3.0 in the flash, I'm really looking forward to using Selva, since I almost broke my nerves doing the Gavin quest :D. Not to mention the all of the new places in GE. Aaaaaand I'm reaaallllyyy looking forward to spending Gpoints which I will buy as soon as i get paid for the month.

so this was just a small update, and to announce that I'm working on my second F.R.I.E.N.D.S. part duo project.

just a little insider: I't will contain: A hyperactive-never-fully-grown-up Artorian (Stock Fighter), anorexic self-destrictive CleoPetra (IBS), and a robot Eva (CTS) that wants to take over the world, by killing all humans (If you're lucky she'll keep you as a pet) :D.
