God Changes, and OA, Att, Def Leveling

With less playing than I used to do, I had to reconsider how I was playing, and the gods I had.

God Switching

I was working with the engineering, crafting, and summoning gods before.

However, I realized that these days I was doing a lot more alchemy again, as my cashflow was getting hit hard by working on sink skills and quests.

Crafting was still being done occasionally, but not enough to warrant keeping the god.

Summoning was pretty much dead. I found myself not really having the time to get up to the gypsum for stone making.

Engineering wasn't being done much either, but due to the high cost of getting that god, I am keeping him until at least level 80.


So I decided to drop the crafting and summoning gods for now. Summoning was the first to go, easily switched to the defense goddess.

Then I spent about 2 days collecting and mixing all the quest ings for the Alchemy goddess (not an easy task, heh). Went close to broke doing that, even mixing and harving everything myself.

But I did it, and the crafting god got switched to alchemy.

So my new god lineup: Engineering, Alchemy, Defense


Level Up


Getting levels in any skill these days is nothing short of miraculous, hehe. All my skills seem to be at that point where it takes quite a long while to get one. Nevertheless, I'm managing to pop out a few.

Been doing a load of alchemy, which is at a level so high that all the alching I've done since my last entry still hasn't brought me a new level. But daily quests and actually doing some training on desert chims has made me hit some fighting levels at least.

You advanced to level 113 of defense!

Followed by...

You advanced to level 113 of attack!

And a final payoff:

Your overall level is now 145!

Sweet.


Book Reading

I'd been mostly reading crafting experience books, to help push that skill and get extra use of the crafting god.

But I needed to get back to reading the regular knowledge books. Reading all of those is part of my quest to having the ultimate all-rounder character. So I've read 8 more of those in the past week, and plan to do more.

Meanwhile, I've started reading manufacturing experience books until I get a level in it. I don't seem to have time for that skill either, nor the gc to burn helms in school so... yeah.


Current Plans

Now that I've got the Alch goddess back, I desperately need to work on my lack of gc. With that in mind, I'm planning a lot of alching for the purpose of selling for gc.

As well, I plan to continue training, getting use of the defense god. Not sure how long I'll be keeping him so do it while I can.

And as well, my "all skills 40+" goal hasn't been forgotten. Planning some engineering to get the saltpeter made that will be necessary to get two more tailoring levels.

Also, breaking stuff. The new quest, hehe.

7 levels in 7 skills

Game play has been limited to a few hours most days. This includes spending up to an hour getting all five daily quests done.

Though as of yesterday, I've stopped doing the newest daily. It's been hosed with the inclusion of asking for 3 tit chain mails. Noone makes these due to the EFE, which is sought after for too many other reasons and expensive. So the only ones available on market are drops, and those have pretty much dried up quickly with so many people looking for them for the quest now.

Just not worth it.

But I continue doing the other 4 dailies. I've considered dropping the Tatu mule daily though, as the incredibly low experience given by it doesn't seem worth all the work involved in making the creature food. I mean, really, 4k alchemy experience (one of the possible rewards) for someone who is at alchemy level 118 is pretty insignificant. :/

The other daily quests... dung, harvest, and fighting, will be continued though, no problem.


Since last posting though, I have managed to get 7 levels, in 7 different skills. I've also been doing some incredibly heavy harv-stocking, primarily for creature food flower ings, and over 150k BSFs in stock currently even after using a load for blue dyes. The BSFs are primarily for tailoring leveling. Just two more tailoring levels to get all my skills at 40+!


But, anyway, here's the levels collection since last posting, in order I got them:

You advanced to level 102 of harvesting!

And with a fighting daily:

You advanced to level 112 of defense!

Prepping for tailoring by making saltpeter:

You advanced to level 56 of engineering!

Which led to:

You advanced to level 38 of tailoring!

A double-exp ranging day naturally finds me in the Grubani arena:

You advanced to level 45 of ranging!

More fighting dailies got me close enough to an attack level that I went and trained a bit:

You advanced to level 112 of attack!

And finally, a combo of actual crafting along with experience book reading led to:

You advanced to level 68 of crafting!
