Sicil: The Assassin

Yup, going to another server means starting from scratch. The good thing about this is that you'll be starting at level 0 with everyone else (that is until the botters get high in their levels). Anyway, as mentioned last time, I'll be re-rolling into an Assassin.

Meet Sicil:



I was able to get get to the second job in just a few hours thanks to this guide. Anyway, my next target is for him to become an Abyss Walker within fourteen (14) days; meaning he should level up twice in a day. Anyway, here I go!

Re-rolling to Cadmus

As I mentioned a few days ago, the Cadmus server will be opening tomorrow, Oct. 21, 2 PM. However, that won't mean the end of Alcarcalimo: the Bladedancer, as I will still use him, although sparingly. I'll be re-rolling into Cadmus tomorrow as another character, same race, different job. I've had experience of being a buffer and "always at the back"--it's time for me to move up front.

Tomorrow, I become an Assassin.

Fifty

Welcome to my 50th post.

Coincidentally Alcarcalimo also hit Level 50 a few hours ago! Whoa! Never thought I 'd make it this far. Here's to the next levels and posts, may it be more fruitful than the ones before it.

Special thanks go to: Infinity XT, Blackprince of Indigo, and ArmeaSilverleaf of Istar.

Soulshot Dependency Syndrome

Hi, I'm Alcarcalimo and I'm addicted to Soulshots.

I initially disdained using these things except for large yellow mobs but now, I even use them on blue ones--yes blue ONES. I don't know why, but it maybe because of the large blue lights that sparkle when you hit a monster or the additional damage it does but definitely, I cannot move without at least 2.5 k of it on me.

I am now on a long road to being a Blademaster but has chosen not to continue until I get enough soulshots to end my tasks. I want to buy 5,000 just to finish the second task, and a further 5,000 on the last one.

I need help....

First Castle Defense Experience

The other day, I participated in my first castle defense. I was at Goddard along with my clanmates at Infinity and the other alliance members, setting up positions within the castle. It was a surprise to know that there were only 2 of us from the academy that was there. The others may be in hiding because they don't want to lose their precious exp points.

I knew that the battle would start at 8 PM and was very excited. Unfortunately the worst happened. The time came and I got suddenly disconnected.

I immediately went to work to restarting my PC to get back into the game. When I reappeared I was with the Goddard Castle Teleporter. I then read on the Alliance chat that the throne room was being attacked--the enemy got in!!! I raced to the throne room and it was swarming with opponents and their alliances. I was very surprised to see so many characters in one place. Probably the same reason why it lagged like hell as well.

Eventhough it would take damage, I jumped from the balcony straight to the the location of the Seal. Unfortunately, an Orc hit me and I died right there and then. I was expecting to be revived in the throneroom but was surprised to see myself in Goddard Town. The castle was lost!

Our Clan Leader Jercouzen then reorganized us to attack the castle-wave after wave. Unfortunately on my third time the disconnection again happened. This time, there was no going back. My ISP said that they were repairing the damage but it would take time. There was a strong rain outside and could not leave my family.

It was only today that I knew the castle was permanently taken over by our foes. Trash talking was all over the forums today. I decided not to post there anymore as it would further enhance the flame surrounding that thread.

Yes, I lost 25% of my exp that night but it was something I'll never forget.

Ashlianna: The Immobilizing Guardian

There I was, going to and fro Giran, Dion, the Dwarf's Village, and the Execution Grounds to fulfill my quest to be a full-blooded Bladedancer when all of a sudden I saw a very unfamiliar site.

In the Dark Elf's Guild was an elf. She was wearing a formal gown of some type. I just had to look and see what someone from the opposite side of the race was doing there. Lo and behold it was a Guardian, Guardian Ashlianna...

Her name would be familiar to Lineage 2 SEA Forumers as she has been sought after by many of the male population. She even has a fanclub thread devoted to her.

After a few chats, a little dance, and an immobility spell (that held me to the ground while she prances away), I found out that behind that elven smile was another person who would just want to make our playing lives in Lineage a bit better.

So guys, ease up on her.

Personal reaction to the 2x and 3x modification

As mentioned in my last post, the 2x for life and 3x every weekend from July to August has been implemented. There were some high level players who didn't like AMDG's move, however the new ones were very appreciative--including yours truly.

When I logged back in, I noticed that there were more newbies around the starter town (well, at least in the Dark elf's Village) than last time I was here. Could this be a spillover effect of free installers and the aforementioned in-game changes? Most likely. Whatever the reason, new players or old ones rerolling new characters is a good sign.

Another thing I've noticed is that grinding is less of a chore than it used to be. It's easier to level up, more loot falls on the ground, and I have excess SP ready to be used to gain new skills.

My concern are the mat prices. Since there's more mats falling off, will this finally lower down the prices? This will enable more supplies than it used to be. As Jercouzen said in the forums, it only takes a few players to lower down their prices and the effect will snowball.

Alcarcalimo Takes a Break

Due to real life concerns, I will be taking a break from my favorite MMORPG, Lineage 2 SEA. I'll be back as soon as my financial situation stabilizes a bit.

Until then...
