Correction to my last post... I just realized this as I was reading it: I have trained stealth points again to gain guild points and I now have 881 Gp. As I read my last post I realized I was wearing stat gear, which was why I had 878 Gp. I'm trying to find a lighter armor item than the iron plate, because I want to carry full rose gear when I'm exp'ing and right now I can't carry bracelet, it's too heavy. I know the black plate is lighter, but hell if I could kill KoU I would use the black boots also and not have anything to worry about at all in terms of carrying gear.

I have some thoughts about godly armour. Considering the difficulty involved to attain this armor, I think it would be a good idea to change the stats set up so that you can keep your stats you improve while wearing the armor for that entire boot. I mean, in all seriousness, to go thru the trouble to get godly armour, you improve your stats but you don't want to chance trying your improved character against a difficult mob that you will/may have to quit while fighting because you will lose your stats you have gained.

If you quit, it would be great if you could keep those stats when you log back in. Now, there may be things I don't know about here, such as feasability with the coding and what not, but it seems to me that what could be called the best piece of armour in the game could use this as a major improvement.

Trained st.po tonite, I'm up to 878 Gp and still climbing... I figure a little over 5 more training sessions to 1000 and then we'll see where we go. I have given a lot of thought about how I might train for block next, and I believe I'm going to be trying to save up enough to train 120 (3 sessions) of block, which could mean about 150,000,000 Exp, a lovely round number.

It's still disheartening to know that as you get stronger as a thief, you cannot even compare to a storm or druid's ability to kill large mobs, like King of the Undead. If I tried to kill KoU now, at level 101, even with 1000 block and 1500 hp, it would probably be about 5 or 6 rounds, where as a comparable level storm or druid can do it in 1, 2 at the most. That is hardly fair.

Remedy? Well, it is the thief guild, and in all fairness, if we can't have a heal command, then we damn sure should be recognized for being stealthy. And in being stealthy, if you take a thief, a storm, and a druid of the same general level, the thief should take 2 out of the 3 hits that a storm or druid would take from a mob, maybe even half. That's what the thief guild is all about, the whole 'stealth' thing. Either that or allow thieves some sort of healing command, like 'bandage' or something, even if we have to use something to make the bandages, I don't care... we have plenty of useless skills that could be put into play for this, perhaps 'weaving' or something like that, who knows? Just a thought.

Wow, I waited way too long to post this time around, sorry about that. I'm up to 1500 hp now and I'm saving 15 million exp for some stealth.points to raise my guild points. I am going to get my GP to 1000, maybe even go for 1200 but I doubt I'll go that high, right now that is, maybe later on, but hey, I can AA that, so who knows.

I haven't died in awhile, that's a good thing, course, I don't really try killing anything tough much anymore. I did one round guardian the other day, that was pretty amazing. Usually takes me about a round and a third to half of another round to kill him nowadays.

Oh, and I'm stabbing again, in VoL mostly, so I'm getting more coins now. Pikachu has a freaking lot of coins though, don't know if I'll ever catch him. I mudmailed Fantom about the coins bug, or, should I say, lack there of, because there isn't a coins bug. If a person works hard at getting coins he can get a million a day pretty easily, but you sacrifice your exp and other things by just coining. As always, back to Tharsis...
