Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm starting to recognize some of the more famous MS names and think "hey I think I saw them in passing once" I wish I could remember names better because there are people I'd like to go back and fame then forget. I should write them down.
One day I want to meet KitsuneLove, just because of the name. I havn't seen any other kitsune around though I did see a NightFox. One day I dream they'll make a fox hat for the cash shop.
Oh yeah, late last night there was a nice high level warrior, I think like 50-something, I saw on Warning Street just by Henesys. I climbed down the rope to watch him kill golems and we chatted a little. He offered to party sometime which I thought was nicie considering our level difference 3nodding Gave me a couple things.
Sometimes I almost feel like people are pelting me with arrows LOL. If I'm still for a bit usually someone or other will drop some arrows near me. I don't really need em that much, but I take em and say thanks, since I can always pass them on to other bowmen. Nice that people are considerate that way though 3nodding Though I imagine if they were worth much of anything selling back you wouldn't see that as often.

Erm, what does sins mean anyway?
I also never know what afk meant either sweatdrop

Made lvl 21 today with some help! And I got enough of the bubbles to finish the quest, whee! Picked up the other quests for lvl 20, so on to more stuffs to find. Put on my new equips and am feeling stronger. My character actually does 100 damage every now and again which is neat! I don't really like the looks of this level of armor but ah well, later levels look spiffier. Just makes me strive more towards 25 3nodding I'm keeping the lower level equips since I rather like them. Though just as I was feeling powerful, I went in a pit to fight some green mushies and a lupin I didn't see what there, and he about handed my butt to me.. missmiss and he was creaming me with bananas, managed to climb out and keep away. Pesky monkey. I'll remember you when I get a higher level... domokun
Oh yeah, thanks to the help I was able to use the 2 steels to make the next level up glove! Sweet! Blue Diros. If I get 2 topaz or 2 emerald I can upgrade it. And I found my first diamond ore today. Had to drop something quick to pick it up but it was worth it.

Currently working on the Pia quest, since that's the one I can finish off easiest at this point. I think I have almost enough green shroom caps, those are easy to get, and I'm working on getting about 30 more blue shroom caps to finish it. I looked up where the blue mushie forest is so I'll go there next time, hopefully they won't swarm me like at pig beach. At least the blue mushies knock back better than the blue slimes.
Why is there always one hard item for quests?? For the lost boy I have to get 50 evil eye tails or whatever, which I havn't seen and I'm sure I'm too weak to fight yet. I already have the 100 pig ribbons. Sigh. I really want to do that one since you get a random pair of earrings.
Oh yeah still have to complete Shumi's coin quest, I didn't want to go further in the subway since I couldn't hurt the little snakes at all, so I think I'm going to have to have a lot of help or wait on that one.


Equipment creation notes so I can be gathering materials:

BOW
(I'm just going to buy the lvl 25 one when the time comes, too much of a pain to gather materials to synth it.)

Level 30 (many faqs say to just skip this so I probably will due to the golds.)
Ryden - 5 Steels, 5 Golds, 3 Emeralds, 2 Topazs, 30 Screws, 30000 Mesos

Level 35
Red Viper - 7 Silvers, 6 Garnets, 3 Opals, 35 Screws, 40000 Mesos

GLOVES
Level 25
Blue Savata - 40 Leathers, 50 Blue Mushroom Tops, 2 Golds, 15000 Mesos

Green Marker - 1 Brown Marker, 3 Emeralds, 15000 Mesos
Black Marker - 1 Brown Marker, 1 Black Crystal, 20000 Mesos

SHOES
(I'm skipping lvl 25 shoes because at lvl 26 I can wear the red white-bottomed boots and I'd rather have the boost to speed than stats.)

Don't try to make anything (that has gold ores, BC ores, or Diamond ores in it) that you can buy from an NPC.
It's cheaper to buy from the NPC.
I mean seriously, when gold is 10-15k and you need 10 to refine, that's already 100-150k

Unfortunately I don't think you can buy the lvl 30 and up bows from NPC as far as I can tell, same with the rest of the stuff I listed, which rather sucks since it seems like some classes can still buy their equips at that level? I don't even know how you're supposed to get your hands on the ones over level 40 since I don't even see them listed for synthing. Guess I'll see if I can buy one from a player when the time comes or if I can get a monster to drop it.
Yikes, gold and diamond are very costly. sweatdrop

Finished Pia's quest last night! I was rather proud of myself for getting the majority of blue mushie caps myself. Hunted at Warning Streets at Henesys since its fairly easy to get blue mushies there, and you have some other stuff to shoot at to keep from being bored. I'm a bit leery of going to blue mushie forest since I don't want to get mobbed there, not sure if there's anywhere to stand and snipe either so its not worth the damage taken if I can't. I kinda like fighting in that area now that I can better handle it. Also amusing when a high level char comes by and fights the golem below.
Oh! A blue mushie dropped some nice thief armor which I NPCed for 35k, which is a lot to me xd Invested it in the lvl 25 bow and saving the rest for new equips later on. The prospect of attaining any of the higher bows seems rather daunting eek

Now I'm mostly back to leveling. Will probably peek at the blue mushie forest just to see the setup and decide if I want to spend some time there or not. Seems like hidden areas are usually too swarming with enemies without anywhere safe to snipe from. Getting mobbed in melee sucks, maybe I'll invest in a better backup weapon. I try to keep a decent one in case of emergencies.
I want to get high enough level to get those charms of dead, so I can finish the other quest.
Oh yeah should sell my basic gloves since I have the Blue ones, rather sell them to a player since you can't buy from a store and sellback is what you pay for synthing them. Want to get 7-8k for them.

The only thing I like about sleepywood is they give level recommendations for areas. *again beats fists at not being able to read any forum topics that are frequently linked to from guides*

Please tell me when you do... I have so many sets of archer stuff it's not even funny... sweatdrop
And kitsune I have a pair of lvl 35 archer pants for you xd

Ooh fun may have to buy some stuff off you later. I've been trying to save up mesos lately.
Actually someone was kind enough to give me a pair of those earlier on, for which I'm very grateful. I hav both the lvl 35 shoes and pants.

Currently poking at the synthesis list for archers and seeing if I can figure out which ores I don't really need at all... may as well have them not filling up my inventory.

Today was a good Mapling day. Let's see if I can remember everything.
Just capped over into level 23 right before I logged off for the night xd Mmmm, can't wait for level 25! Though from then on out its going to start to be more and more difficult to get the good equips. I can see why MS would get fruterating for some, the high level equips are very very expensive since they're hard to make and rarely drop, plus you start leveling very slowly.
Finished up 2 quests today, yay for more item space! Savahna (sp?) helped me out a bunch. He got me the charms of dead and evil eye tails I needed for the two quests, so I got my bamboo hat and a pair of gold earrings 3nodding Partied a bit, and took my first peek in Ant Tunnel (and got beat on by horney shrooms.) Also poked in the Blue Mushie Forest and around a bit. Helped a n00b level a little though he turned out kinda annoying, said they were at 75%, and finally 85% but then later on said they were only at 25%, that they made a mistake! I'm sorry but they said twice, I don't know why they lied. Also helped a girl get some leaves for her quest, in the process helping another n00b level, and poked around Perion. I always feel bad when people I'm trying to help level die, even if I gave them some pots sweatdrop I dunno I'm not good at keeping track and helping them, I tend to hop over somewhere and not realize if they're hurting since I can't see them. Ah well I try.

Sold Naehev the other glove, and took a peek at some copper drakes eek I'll have to start saving my archer equips for you since you are probably going to be doing an archer! I've already sold back some of the stuff I didn't need anymore but I can pass you the current bows I have when I hit 25.

Spent some time at Pig Beach, I think I'm finally about the right level for it since I can take on the pig swarms better. Been kinda trying to decide a new leveling area since I'm rather bored with the ones I was doing, and I'd like to be getting more exp. No real goals right now other than getting to lvl 25, some more quests open up then. I'm wondering how to get Nella's second citizen's request since I've only done it once and I thought you could do the first 3 at this level.

Well, I think that's everything for now... heart
