At Your Own Risk: AFK

Well, this isn't of my day off experience! Since I need level up to 100/Veteran before the next Colony Wars, I ended up going to the Joaquin Prison Forgotten Territory with my powerleveling kit still enabled. Of course, I stayed at Zone 4 since it was the highest level it can accommodate me. With the Premium Buff still enable for everyone, it was kind of laggy since there are people who took advantage of it. As much as I wanted to get my butt off the chair, I had to stay behind because of doing AFK (Away From Keyboard) I will get killed and therefore, no EXP.

I did my best alleviate the boredom by talking to friends in GE. One of them would be Device where we discussed many things. Also, Southernsky was there but only for a few replies. When I saw NineMoons going online, I asked if she needed some help in leveling up. She kindly appreciated my offer but I had to level up first 90 before I can be available. When did reach level 90, I came to her spot as Catherine. Looks like she's accompanied by Breviary and Fiksdotter. Okay, let's skip this part first because my main focus for this post is a rant: AFK!

As the night came closer, I really need to AFK because I do want to sleep. Around 8-9PM Southernsky advised me (after some talking here and there) that I should AFK at Topolo Durga. I tried to out and the mobs seem weak, even if they're at level 98 and above. I left my main team and slept the night away...

Waking up at 2AM, I checked to see how they were doing. They were dead and they didn't get much EXP. With my powerleveling kit still in effect, I tried doing another AFK session. After hours later, I only gained 5% EXP. I did attempt to AFK but it involved my Feng Ling 4x, Lorch 5x and Emelia 6x at the Porto Bello Forgotten Territory some time ago. I AFK'ed them and I saw no problem in them surviving, even for just a nap (more like more than a nap!). Looks like AFK'ing in high levels is very dangerous now.

Well, looks like I need some help reaching level 100/Veteran before the month ends. I'll try my luck to be able to get some more support from my friends and faction mates. Well, wait for the next post because there are some rainbows and sunshines that occurred during this day off...

If you're using elite 84 armor you should be able to survive at Topolo Durga but in a cornered location ... like a place with only one way of mobs coming. I have my spots but right now the server is down and i can't tell you the exact coordinates but it's near the upper left corner of D8 . I even do AFK training at Via Fluvial with 2 x Bernelli and 1 x Scout. Most of the time i find my girls up and kicking ^^ It's all about spots and equipment.
