Hello fellow guildmembers! (hey.. I figured out how to change font colors!!! WOO HOO!)
ok, fist off.. yup... I can FLY! (and since yesterday, all I am singing in my head is "I believe I can fly"... seriously.) And basically if you read this entire post you can too! It will walk you throuh my day to day chores on adventure seal collection as well as potato gathering for cats eyes. the latter being how I thwarted gravity!
I begin my day with a very large cup of coffee... think glass beer stein. I fire up the laptop and browse Facebook while the internal system wakes up and does random background things that usually counter my Mabinogi log in, so I have to wait that out or get that wonderful error code at character entrance.
My first step is my main Derekchris24...
I begin in Dunbarton, and my primary goal is to collect adventure seals! (there are probably thirty ways a single person can gain them... I have investigated almost all and this is what I landed on as the easiest and least time consuming for maximum collection with minimal effort.)
My first action is to check the two daily missions and see if they are solo or forced team shadow missions. (if they are the latter.. I abandon them and continue on my schedule) Then off to Tara or Tail to run the missions... (personal favs are "Defeat the Shadow Wizard" as it yields a high gold reward from drops... and "The sulfur Spider" for gold and just because I enjoy the center room spider melee! ...I also like "The Offering" just cause its fun to target the body drops like a basket ball game! Swish!)
If I can do them both... the rewards are 2 Adventure seals and some AP coupons. ..and the count begins.
Next up I check my daily gathering quest. (this is a collect 50 of something random quest that yields a seal.. and a 25% exp fruit! ...depending on the item needed I either hold it till my day is done or slip it into my daily runs when I encounter the area the item is available. Currently I am still holding an incomplete Ore gathering one!?! I keep forgetting to run Barri and get that done! ohh, and side thought, if you do these.. remember to EAT THAT FRUIT! I forgot once, and the next day when I got my new one and went to eat it.. I saw a RED fruit siting there... wasted... they are 24 hr and then dead. That sucked!)
I used to do the daily dungeons for an additional seal... then I finally got the Peaca one! (now.. its actually a great quest to receive!.. it's 2 seals if you complete it, but I was not ready for it when I landed that quest so I simply let it sit in my quest log, and not doing those saved me time and had that quest ready for when I finally decided to brave that EVIL dungeon! RE "My battle with weight gain" for how it finally yielded its reward!)
Now it's off to Port Cobb! A wonderful port township that yields two adventure seals for virtually nothing! I simply smack some light poles on the east side of the map till I get 5 large nails and be sure I have a good stock of "striped marlins" and I can clear the two in seconds! (The young boy pacing in the center of town takes the nails and also gives you two additional homestead stones! The little fishing elf takes the fish and gives you a shark you can sell for just over 200 gold! ..add two more seals to the tally!)
After those two are complete I take a short break and hit my homestead to knock out my stone harvesting and plant crops... maybe harvest herbs... you know.. just handle the homestead and enjoy the happy music it plays!)
Then back to the job! I zap back to Cobb and warp over to Iria!
I at the base camp cause I am a human... and my first stop is Alexina to grab my exploration quest. (I am not ready to tackle it just yet but while I am here it helps to grab it and hold in in the quest log!) Then I transform into my trusty grey doggy and high tail it to the mana tunnel! My first stop is "Metus Canyon" to met up with a barely visible elf and accept her quest to kill Prison Ghosts! (This is a great way to build my proficiency on my two handed sword.. smash kills them with one blow usually, those that survive that go down with a follow up assault slash! side note, a two handed sword builds proficiency very slowly! so if you want to wield one and upgrade it... you have to be patient.) 20 kills later and I am no one seal richer! then it's off again!
This time, my destination is "The Shyllien Nature Reserve"! Here I gain two seals. The easy one is the part time job... just accept it... play the roll of a Halloween witch, "bubble bubble toil and trouble" your way through the easy quest and PRESTO! ...you just got another seal! then its over to the guy tending to caged animals.. and its a grab bag of what he wants removed from the wildlife reserve hidden in the back! (you either get to kill some pesky wabbits... deweed the soil of some lighting wielding plant life... or.. if you are unlucky like I am... you get to go head to head against a giant purple Sasquatch! The latter, be prepared for or just abandon that quest! I like to bait them out of the pack with a lightning bolt and final hit them away from ancient plants and fellow Sasquatches!) ... once completed I head off and to my next stop...
"The Hillwan Mines"
another two seal adventure... the first is yet again an easy p/t job... just wratchet your way to three successes and you just earned another seal! the second.. well.. lets just say the Giants seem to get killed and need avenging in those mines... and I dont know why they ask me to do the avenging! ...but I seem to be a sucker for punishment and always say "sure.. Ill go kill that!" and blindly run into the mines toward very fierce creatures!(there are the possible encounters you will get... yo will either have to fight emerald hyenas, emerald bisons... or again, if you are lucky like me... emerald golems! ugh! the latter.. treat like the Sasquatches! don't fight them.. or lead them out with a bolt and fight them in the center of the map alone! I have been knocked out several times not thinking my tactics out or getting cocky and deciding that fighting three with final hit was a good idea... not so.. they run away and bring you back to the group for a slaughter fest! be smart.. stay alive... get that seal!)
Elves and Giants done I set course for the mana tunnel and head to...
"Laterra Highlands"
this looks like a good time to take a break... the system seems to be not taking my pictures for upload and I have more I prefer to add while I continue my detailed walkthrough... (hopefully this uploads!)
