GREETINGS!! One month has gone by, just a couple of days ago I achieved my goal of 150,000,000 Exp, and I used it all on block. That gave me 150 block for a grand total of 1150. Now I'm just playing and saving up Exp and for once I really don't know what I'm going to be spending it all on. My stealth attack passed up my pointed for the first time ever, it's odd really, you can look at my skills site and see the progress as attack slowly crept up and finally surpassed my pointed over the last few months.

I tried using all my Gp for backstabs, but that's pretty damn tedious. I went right back to doing stabs to use up my Gp, I get more aa's, although they are probably useless at this point, with 3300+ pointed and attack, I doubt any more will make all that much difference.

My guess is I'll get Metallica to train me in stealth sneaking a couple times, to upgrade my crappy backstabbing abilities.

Gp: 1001/1001

Tried to get to exactly 1000, but alas, gained 2 at 999 from training 1 level of st.po. Oh boo hoo.

Now time to gain a LOT of exp for some block.

| | pointed 3003/1147

I just wanted to gloat just a bit, 3000 pointed is a reasonably nice number, if I do say so myself. Also, I'm at 972 Gp, so I'm getting very near my goal of 1000.

Again, I must reiterate, if you get nothing from reading this, yet you are still here, that means you must get SOMETHING from it, regardless of what you say.

Anyways, that is all for now!!

I was just thinking today that I had not died in a long time... and WHAM I die today, isn't that just wonderful? I figured you would think so. I suppose my problem is that I tend to find the use of Q gear irresistable and I always want to kill things with it on and trying to kill them in one round. In this case:

Last Death

Died to: Tebarin, Gnoll Elite
Time: March 14, 2004
Reason for Death: thought I could kill him in one round, let myself get down to 343 hp and he smashed the fuck out of me in one hit.
Exp Lost: 25,000,000
Stat Lost: Int
Coins Lost: None, quit right away, regrouped, logged back in, 'church' and then went back to get my gear. I had only 2500 coins on me though haha.

Not fun, especially considering that I had enough to train st.po, but oh well, shit happens, Int isn't that hard to gain. I can't believe out of like 17 times I've died I've only lost one strength.

Today was a day just like any other day, nothing new happened in the game. I couldn't kill anything big because our guild is all fucked.

Cheetara started talking to me about how much she loved me and maybe we should meet sometime which sort of pissed me off because she knows that me and Rvd are involved and I think she is trying to start trouble again.

Had to help Metallica with failing fisherman again, I wish he would learn to just do things on his own and quit always asking for help. And he always wants me to train him in ot.st and co.me.bl when he has like enough for 1 level, it's really irritating.

I had to deal with Pikachu messaging me like 20 times over and over asking for quest information when I've told him before to knock it off, so what does he do? He proceeds to post the f word all over shout auction and gossip flooding like mad, but do the wizards care? No, they don't as usual.

Lionpaw was promoted to apprentice, this makes no fucking sense at all, the first thing he did was gagged Poeun, which is crazy, because Poeun is so loving and helpful and never does anything wrong in the game at all.

At least we have Ink and Eminem to help newbies out, I saw both of them tonite showing newbies how to use weapons, giving them pointers about how to move around the game and get started and such, they are such great guys, so helpful, always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Makes the game a real joy to be around.

Anyways, it's time for me to head to bed, so I guess I'll just post more to this journal later.

Oh, and fuck you all for reading this and making fun of it earlier : ) have a great night.

Metallica defeated Vlavarious in battle tonite, oh what a glorious victory for our guild, we are the champions, we will we will rock you!!!

AA's are becoming few and far between nowadays, I'm lucky to get one in attack or one in pointed for each full set of stabs I do using all my gp on stabs. That's one of the reasons I'm raising my gp up to insure I can have more stabs to work with. I don't think I've seen an ot.st aa since before I hit puberty. Another problem I'm confronted with is, when exactly do I want to redo my skills page, considering that after awhile, skills increasing slows down?

It does give me something to do though, checking my kills total, how many coins I've gained over time, etc. It's good to have something to compare with, I don't have this site or journal so much for anyone else nearly as much as for myself. All I can say is, if someone doesn't like my tharsis site, you can enjoy a big bowl of fat cock for all I care.

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...
