Project A3

I may do a small machinima project as a demo for my new PC. It's also another goal I want to hit after reaching Veteran...

Project A3? What is it?

If you know who these are and what is it I'm trying to do, don't spoil it! I'll fill you in with details on future posts to come. Just enjoy the teaser image for the meantime...

Still alive but no Internet!

Just posting to tell all of you that I'm still alive but I ain't got no Internet. Blame on my service provider although they've been "doing the very best that they can." I just got my new PC set up and ready for patching but this is what they do to me (and my sisters)?!?!?

Dammit. They better resolve the issue today (before maintenance) or I will definitely blow my head off for this! The reason why I don't have Internet because it was in the process of upgrading to a better and faster plan. Can't give you updates on current status of my family right now. This post is strictly for my disappointment with my current service provider. Want to know? I'll tell you if you can guess it correctly or if I get enough comments about this...

Dreamz and Fantazzies Fulfilled! (Part 2 of 2)

My fighter reaching veteran didn't stop there! Stephanie (Elementalist) and Sabrina (Scout) were on the road on reaching Level 100 too! Right after Marvin (Fighter) got promoted and learned the Advance Guard/Garde stance, I met up with gellardes and Colbourn once again to continue leveling up. It was a tedious task, with ocassional AFKs, deaths and resurrections. Well, I ended up sleeping through the night and I took the risk of going AFK big time.

Waking up the next morning, I continued on leveling without Colbourn but gellardes was still with me. I ended up teaming up with one of the Vongola Brothers and one of gellardes' friends in the process. After ocassionally AFK'ing to check on some websites, I finally did it. Stephanie and Sabrina have hit Level 100!!! If I were to use my fellow bloggers' happy statement, it would be "tambling sabay split sa ere." For those of you who are clueless about it, it's translated as "tumbling while doing a split mid-air." For the tambling/tumbling, we Filipinos consider it as the flips of a gymnast.

So excited, I was able to have Stephanie promoted. That's when I did the pic of my Fighter (more like me!) doing the Dance Pose. Remember newly promoted Veterans, you can get the 10th Pose Volume from Andre as long as you have a Veteran character in your current team when you speak to him! I left out Sabrina because I was advised not to promote her to Veteran just yet. I still need Sabrina to stay as the main medic of the family for her to assist the other two. Oh yeah, an event happened right after this happy moment! Here's my coverage as well!

I remember saving up for the materials I need for a level 100 costume for Elementalists because I took a chance in in buying 10 Andre Costume Boxes months ago and I got a couple of Mutation Elementalist Costumes and an extra Original Female Elem Costume in the process. Reading the recipe for the Rosa Matrimonia Costume (it's my super favorite for the Females!), I needed:

• Elementalist Level 100
• 1 Original Male Elem Costume*
• 1 Original Female Elem Costume
• 1 Robe of Wind Costume
• 1 Mutation Elem Costume
• 3 Triumph Fillers*
• Level 100 Andre Janzur*

I took note of this recipe in my head so when that day ever came, I will just gather the other materials. The items I marked with an asterisk indicates that I didn't have those items yet on the day itself. However, when that day came, I was able to acquire the Original Male Elem Costume and the Triumph Fillers. Now I needed was a Level 100 Andre Janzur which I don't have yet! I remembered that when leveling up with gellardes, he was leveling up his Andre Janzur to Veteran. When I asked if he could craft me the costume, he told me to meet him at Auch. After giving the items to him, he gave me what I have longed for: Rosa Matimono Costume! Immediately when I got it, I wore over my Elementalist Le Blanc armor and wore the matching head piece. Never have a accomplished a feat so challenging... Indeed my dreamz and fantazzies have come true!

Rosa Matrimonio Costume! Is zis for real?!?

Bless the gellardes family for his support in making this dream and fantazzy come true! Well, that's all I got for now people! Hope you too will fulfill your dreamz and fantazzies! Oh yeah, what's this entry about without the Man in White himself as a dedication to his life's statement?

Dreamz and fantazzies can come true! Believe in yourself!

GM Garage Sale Event: Elite Armors for Sale!

First, a little intro from sGE's website:

After failing to foil the plans of Andre in promoting his newest fashion designs in Granado Espada, the [GM]s have came up with a 'counter-attack' plan. They are planning to buyout Hrin Ampules and organize a garage sale themselves! Will they successfully win this war against the flamboyant Andre Janzur?

Everyone wants Hrin's Ampules!

I wasn't myself aware of the event because all I did was reach level 100 for Veteran Status but upon hearing the broadcast of selling Level 68 Elite Studded-leather Armors for only 15 Hrin Ampules, I had to confirm that one!

The GM told us that they were at the "peak of Coimbra." I had to make a guess that it's that fountain spot in Port of Coimbra. It was confirmed and I made my way to see if there was indeed such event. Well, I was surprised that a lot of people have gathered to take advantage of the sale, while the auction went along.

Ah, the lovely GM Lithz

After confirming the event, I decided to grab myself some Hrin's Ampules in order take advantage of the sale. Good thing it was possible to buy more than one! I was able to snag a couple of these Level 68 Elite Studded-leather Armors. THis'll do good in leveling up my lower level characters so they have decent defense. The only disadvantage is not all of these characters are able to equip this armor but this'll have to do for now! :D

Boy, those Hrin's Ampules sell like hotcakes!

I decided to hang out until the end of the event to get you a coverage of this event. Now, I only focused in covering the Garage Sale part of the event, not the auction but there were some memorable moments that I wasn't able to take screenshots of:

• The first item being sold for 606 Hrin's Ampules! Not bad for a great start...
• One item (I think the Marionette Ring) being sold for 1000+ Hrin's Ampules!
• An armor being sold due to a discrepancy

But, there was something that caught my eye:

They're dead serious about the auction! Bad player!

Looks like someone faked a bid and there is a price to pay! Let's take a look at the one of the FAQs of the event:

Q: So… what if I won the bid but I don’t have the premium items needed?

We recommend that you have the premium items in your inventory before the event starts. Once the winner of the auction has been declared, [GM]s will immediately summon you to do the trades! If you do not possess the number of Hrin’s Ampules that you used to bid for, the next highest bid will win the item, and you may be exempted from taking part in the rest of the auction!

Please take note that the [GM]s might impose a penalty on your account for faked bidding. Imagine not being able to chat for 12 hours, heh heh!

Remember guys, follow the rules for smooth and successful event! If you want coverage in all the bids that took place, feel free to visit the Corazon Del Leon's blog.

I decided to "advertise" by using the "!!" feature in informing players on what's happening in that area. Here's how it looks like:

Community advert. Help around!

There are also some families taking advantage of this event by selling Hrin's Ampules for vis! Want proof?

Opportunistic families taking advantage of the event!

Besides the crowded area, here's what I also saw:

Lucifer's Wings are the IN thing right now!

The event ended pretty well if you ask me. I was able to walk away with decent armors at a good price. Though the auction was kind of too much for some of us, at least they came up with something for people who have G Points but don't have enough to participate in the auction. Of course, those armors aren't easy to get from the monsters and the stats they promise? Hoho! Good luck spilling a lot Enchantment Chips for the stats they give! I hope they do things like these in the future for those who really need them.

Can you spot the three GMs?

It must be Lithz' perfume that's causing this to happen!

Dreamz and Fantazzies Fulfilled! (Part 1 of 2)

After 11 months of playing Granado Espda, it all came down to this...

I AM FINALLY A VETERAN!!!

Yes indeed. I have reached such a status and it is a FIRST FOR ME IN ANY MMORPG I HAVE EVER PLAYED! My biggest thanks to IAH Games, IMC Games, e-Games, Kim Hak Kyu, Takhisis Faction and my fellow bloggers for being with me during my whole journey in reaching level 100! Well, time for me to tell the tale on the day I have reached level 100/Veteran...

Right after I got home from work, I logged in and decided to AFK at Topolo Durga since I had a prior dental appointment to attend to. In the process, I decided to purchase a Pioneer's Level 80 Leather Armor for my Scout so she can live a little longer and the DEF rating was worth my money. After producing one of those armors, it'll be 12 High Grade Glaziums for the next one. I better watch what I make then... After the dental appointment, I had the chance to level up with Colbourn once again! As usual, we journeyed to the 1st Floor of the Skullic Dungeon. After time passed, I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to use my powerleveling kit! So, I bought 1 day Expert Manuals for both Combat and Tactics. I also bought my "1-day rental wing set."

Coming back at the site, Colbourn had teamed us up with a player from Malaysia by the name of gellardes. We had a good chat throughout the evening and he event commented that he liked the song "Anak" by Freddie Aguilar. Wow! It was really nice of him to appreciate that song because it reminds him of his childhood. Plus, he got to hear it in Malay! We chatted the night away while taking occasional AFK's and resurrections. What got me pumped is that by approximately 10PM, this is what happened:

Me? Veteran? Here's proof!

Yes. I can now wear that Le Blanc armor I won from the "Love, Me" contest, use them fancy equips I got from Adelina's Booty and I have the right to level past 100. Never in my life have I accomplished a long term goal in the world of online gaming. Once again, I thank IAH Games, IMC Games, e-Games, Kim Hak Kyu, Takhisis Faction and my fellow bloggers for being with me during my whole journey in reaching Veteran. I hope you guys are reading this and what I write is true.

However, I can't let my fighter be the only one reaching the top! My Elementalist and Scout are on the road to catching up! Watch out for part 2 to hear the rest of the story, okay?
