October 17th-18th
Was on Ossy today. Fought a few Gruppins. Got bored and went to collecting stuff for Huckle for Tower Scrolls. Took a screenie. Went to Nath and fought a few jr pepe's got bored after a few %s went by so I went to jr yeti's. well it was fine til I went to the LEFT side of the screen. stare a jr yeti transformed so I tried to hit it. I missed. All it did was raise its arms and I was deader then a n00b going in ant tunnel. gonk I was randomly famed too just before that for being cheery. ^__^ I wasnt very cheery after dying. I used one of my scrolls and went to Nath and took some frustration out on some Lunar and Star pixies. Raised my % some then ran out of orange pots. So I used the extra white ones I had and hightailed it to town. Was a bit bored and I was gonna log out, but I decided to go to Victoria and find SOMETHING to train on. Went to Golems.. was disappointed. Then I went to MM and had a couple of laughes with some sins and bandits. After 50 minutes of waiting and chatting. MM FINALLY came out to play. I was facing the wrong way when I fired TWICE. and when I turned around I think I got 1-2 hits before she died. Getting myself 33 EXP rolleyes After that I went to try to train on zombie lupins. They suck. I didnt make profit in either mesos or EXP. And I was being KS'd by a stuupid cleric. stare Some people are just asses. So I left for Kerning where I was going to try to train on Croco's, but by then I was aggrivated immensely. so I logged out.
Came back on later (10pm ish i think) and my Kelly was on. So she came and met up with me in Kerning and we went to Pet Park to hang out. Where she gave me my birthday presents and took a pic of me with my birthday cake 4laugh Then we went to Kerning so I could refine ALOT of my ores and send them to a ore mule. ^^ After that we went to the subway and thats when the trubble started. Last night Kelly was continually getting booted (because of her connection in the storm). Tonight I was getting booted because of MS I think. I wasnt going to fight it when it completely closed the program on me. So I called it a night. 3nodding

October 20th-21st
Well I got on MS at 3pm and was like hell with it and went to fight golems to level up some. Before I knew it I had gotten 4 bc ore drops and my % rose 10. Kelly was on so I told her the good news and she came to hang out. she went to a different of the same map. My drops continued (getting a 10% 2-handed sword scroll for ATT) as did my rising % every 10% or so I would need to restock making a profit of or around 100k each time. I restocked like 5-6 times today. Then Kelly and I took a break so I could finish the Blackbull quest I wanted a claw scroll for my greedyness but was offere 10% or either wand or staff mag att. I went to with wand ninja ^__^ its more valueable then the other but not as valueable as the Claw scroll I wanted. lucky kelly ^__^ she got it. Were on our way somewhere and Kelly went poof. So I went to Golems again. I wanted more BC drops.
Some 15-20 minutes into Golems Kelly comes back on ^_^ and comes to hang out again this time we're not partied. So I can have all the EXP. I ran out of pots and Kelly held the spot for me. Not too long (i think) some theif in his 40's came and offered me an above average White Anakarune. My money is in storage and I was not about to head back to town so soon. I was at that time 11% from lvling. I offered him 750k for it but I never saw him again to buy it. sweatdrop
More drops ^__^ a few sapphire and 5 more BC drops I was showered with equips from the gollems. First I got a Dark Chaos Robe (average), then I got a Blue Amoria Top (NPCd it), then a Dark Shouldermail (female and above average), then a Red Amoria Top (will see if its better then other that i have) and lastly was a Dark Crusader Chainmail. Now talk about having a good damn day!!
Just before they told us in 15 minutes there would be a server check. I amazingly LEVEL'd UP to 50. I know I missed my birthday goal, but I RAISED MY EXP 66% today alone.

Hi there.
Regarding your first original posts, did you find it difficult to kill Stone Gollems at level 45? How many hits does it take for you to kill them? I know the drops are pretty good, but would it have been better exp per hit ratio if you killed Jr Grupins for that time period? I honestly do not know, hence I'm asking to find out.
*stops rambling and shuts up now* redface

AceOfJacks Hi there. Regarding your first original posts, did you find it difficult to kill Stone Gollems at level 45? How many hits does it take for you to kill them? I know the drops are pretty good, but would it have been better exp per hit ratio if you killed Jr Grupins for that time period? I honestly do not know, hence I'm asking to find out. *stops rambling and shuts up now* redface It took me 4-5 (mostly 4) hits to kill 1 Golem then. Considering their respawn rate even at its fastest is still slow, so my MP does have time to catch up and if I did/do find my MP low or empty then I use mana elixirs. With the profit made from Gollems I dont lose out and gain EXP just as fast as someone fighting tons of Jr Grupins. Also with less people KSing. I did kill just jr Grupins from lvl 42-43 til 45-46 when I started to just kick the poop out of Golems. Once the Jr Grupins were .01% I needed something better. For 47-49 though I mixed it up between; wraiths, golems, jr pepe's, jr yeti (not many jr yetis), the 2 pixies that I can hit and crocos ^__^ I like to travel and fight different things. 3nodding Back to the how many hits for Golems.. 2-3 now and I am lvl 50 but I only killed a couple before I had to go back to town and log out.
now look who rambled lol

Let us consider the hit / exp ratio:
Jr. Grupins 1 hit / 65 exp total = 1/65.00 4 hits for 260 exp total. Lowest common denominator = 20, so ... 20 hits for 1300 exp total.
Stone Gollems 2 hit / 170 exp total = 1/85.00 3 hit / 170 exp total = 1/56.67 Assuming your 2 hit / 3 hit ratio is 50/50, you'd be doing 5 hits for 340 exp total. 20 hits for 1360 exp total.
Unless you're consistently hitting them at 2 hits each (more than 50% of the time), then you're getting better exp from Jr. Grupins. But of course, drops are not considered in this at all, only experience.
Now let us factor in the Exchange Quest. Let us assume that horns drop 50% of the time fron Jr. Grupins. This would mean that every 200 kills, you get an additional 500 exp. This would mean that every kill, you get an additional 2.5 exp.
So now, let's re-calculate.
Jr. Grupins (including the assumed 2.5 extra exp from the horns) 1 hit / 67.5 exp total = 1/67.50 4 hits for 270 exp total. Lowest common denominator = 20, so ... 20 hits for 1350 exp total.
Stone Gollems 2 hit / 170 exp total = 1/85.00 3 hit / 170 exp total = 1/56.67 Assuming your 2 hit / 3 hit ratio is 50/50, you'd be doing 5 hits for 340 exp total. 20 hits for 1360 exp total.
As stated earlier, if you 2 hit the Gollems more than 50% of the time as opposed to 3 hitting, then you're getting better exp.
Now drops woudl probably make Gollems the better thing all the way, but I felt inclined to do something constructive with my time ... so I did all this ... I'm pretty lame ...

ll Regan ll sweatdrop it's prolly a bad time to say I dont really like math and I dont understand majority of what you said sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop Basically, I said: Based on experience alone, forgetting about everything else, If you 2 hit the Stone Gollems MORE than you 3 hit them, then you're getting more experience than Jr. Grupins. If you 3 hit the Stone Gollems more then you 2 them, then you're getting less exp than Jr. Grupins.

If you 3 hit the Stone Gollems more then you 2 them, then you're getting less exp than Jr. Grupins. You're calculations are correct, but you neglected one crucial point: The Human Factor. Regan has an easier time with Golems because they spawn at a slower pace and move much slower than Jr. Grupins. With Jr. she tends to get swarmed on and consequently have to use more hp potions. When she trains she factors in potion expenditure and the cost to replenish them. I've seen her train in Golems, she rarely gets hit.

I purposely did not include those other factors just to perform an experiment. I know about the swarm troubles in Grupins, as I have been there for literally 8 lvls myself.

yea I'm willing to risk gaining more EXP with Jr Grupins though. Even though they are 1 hit kills they hit me too much and because they are easily killed they are popular so I have to fight for a spot. So I prefer Golems for a few reasons. EXP alone isnt a single factor for me. 4laugh

October 22nd
Well I was lazy when I logged into MS today. I was in Kerning and was like "eh i'm lazy" and I went to the subway. rolleyes I hate the subway. I hate snotty Clerics even more. I trained up to 26-ish % and got Brown Jangoon Pants dropped. The Red Whip is ticking me off by not dropping.
I went traveling to Perion to try to sell stuffs, no buyers sad So I went on the boat to Ossy and I sold the Dark Crusader and the 2 10% scrolls to a theif for 1mill. When in Nath is when the trade actually happened. Then I went back to ch 1 to sell the rest and perhaps buy the Anakarune I want. Well I was able to sell the Black Napoleon to some other mage for 100k. (better then the 70k offer I had in Perion)
I think I may NPC the Brown Jangoon and store the dark shouldermail til I find a near lvl 50 female warrior and hope she wants an above average Top. I dunno what to do with that Dark Guilt. I am having trubble trading/selling it. I'd rather trade it for a Golden Pride for Kyo (my cleric) but I hear the Pride is worth more sweatdrop odd huh since the guilt has better stats.
Well anyways.. I spent a good hour maybe at ch 1 Nath trying to buy a PERFECT White Anakarune or Tobi's ninja and I didnt get anywhere. So I tried the boat again on the way back to Victoria Island. All that was on the boat was a girl that was offering me a Red Seraphis/Anakarune set and a lvl 71 warrior selling an above average Dark Identity. Which he told me that lvl 60+ armor and weaps for Theifs and Warriors sell for 10mill+ gonk so lucky him to have found a Dark Identity. Once back in Ellinia I logged off because MS is just no fun without friends to talk to on. And Kelly isnt on sad
EDIT: I went back on to see if Kitsune was on to sell her my +4 orange white bottom shoes. I couldnt find her. So I went to train on MM's house to see if I could find a buyer of my warrior top and guilt. I ended up finding another Shouldermail this time it is red and even more so above average. Thank you Iron hogs. ^_^ At MM's house I met a RUDE THEIF forgot his name but I just asked a couple questions and he left. I hope someone KS's him nonstop one day. I fought lots of iron hogs which is how I got the shouldermail.. then another mage came. I went AFK to eat and shortly after I came back a whole LARGE group of lvl 60+ sins and 1 lvl 60+ mage came. So I asked if any had a White Anakarune or Tobi's. One had 4 or 12 (cant remember what he said) sets of Tobi. He was throwing Ilbi's someone said. He said I could buy if I wanted. I was like yea.
So I went and got my money out of storage came back and didnt even see MM but she had died as I got there I guess because they all left. The lvl 60+ mage told what Ch and I followed ^__^ When I got there that sin and me traded and I had myself a set of Tobi throwing stars. They cost 2.3mill btw. We waiting a while and MM showed up. I got a 103 EXP from her this time. Thats when I left to restock and go fight Golems. Little while passes and kelly FINALLY comes on MS <3. She comes to the Golem temple where I am and I drop some blue pots then a cure all then last I drop the Tobi's and run away with the smiley face. rofl
We kicked some Golem but and Asuka came on. She was helping her friend collect rubble on a different in the next golem submap. Kelly and I go and help. I sold my dark shouldermail to her friend and we partied. Went through lots of pots. Then Asuka's friend died sad and then I needed to restock. WAM! Golems gang up on me and I die. But not before a dark shouldermail pants drop from a Golem. pirate
Kelly and Asuka meet us back in town and her friend has to go. Asuka goes too minutes later. So Kelly and I headed to Dark Golems to try to hunt tobi's ^^ beats hunting for the whip. To make a LONG journal shorter, I died 2 more times. thats when we called it anight lol.
oooh ya.. Kelly is mean she gave me money to buy a Anakarune since I only had 100kish to my name
no screenie today
