Bahamas Quest

I was so happy because I had finally completed the Bahamas quest. Bahamas quests were one of the hardest quests to complete in my opinion, especially when you're doing the quest called 'Pioneering Bahamas' where you required to kill one Swamp Frogfish. Swamp Frogfish is a rare boss which spawned at map Swamp of Darkness and Swamp of Peril. What makes this boss become so rare and hard to be found? The answers are this boss can drop a recipe known as 'Dragon Heart' which is a kind of ingredients that needed to craft Bahamas series weapons which consists of chess series and serpent series, not to mention these weapon's AR are 32. Due to this reason thats why these two maps always crowded with botters and players whom using illegal program to get its spawning coordinate point. On 24th January 2009, I had joined one Frogfish hunting squad and hoping that I could complete this freaking quest. After a few minutes the squad leader requested us to join All Star faction's squad as our squad can't win against other faction squads like Destiny. Thanks to All Star faction member for squading me, my quest finally completed, that was at 5.05 P.M. Right after I continue doing the quest, there was another 'headache' quest appeared again, that was the 'The Mystery Medicine' quest which required me to kill Elite Amber Bee. It took me about 1 day of time to hunt that freaking bee and I finally completed it at 8.40 A.M. on 25th January 2009. There was a quest where the npc Leonara will give you 1 random chess series recipe and I received Black Bishop recipe from her at 10.13 A.M. All the bahamas quests had been completed by me at 10.17 A.M. on 25th January 2009 and I had finally gotten my witch hat from Sierra!

Special thanks to All Star faction members for squad me:

Bahia Battlefield

On 25th January 2009, I had went to Bahia Island to try the Battlefield. The Bahia Battlefield is an arena for players to solo and kill the boss that spawned out. You need to register to take part in this battle by paying 100,000 vis to the Battlefield Manager. Your family name will be announced right after you had registered with the Battlefield Manager. Other players can come and watch you in fighting the boss from the audience stands. If you failed to kill the boss spawned within the time of 10 minutes, you will get teleported out of the arena and an announcement about you failed to kill the boss spawned will appear. I had tried this battlefield for twice times only by using my Catherine Summoner, Elementalist and Scout. On the first round, the boss that spawned out was a Lv114 Golden Spider. It took about 5 minutes for me to kill that spider, which started from 11.37 A.M until 11.42 A.M. and I got 4th place coupon as my reward. On my second round, a Lv117 Elmorc spawned out and my characters got defeated by it. It's AoE skills were very scary especially it's Blizzard Cannon. That was my very first in seeing an Elmorc and I had a lot of fun on that day.

Osiris Faction New Year(2009) Screenshot

On 1st January 2009 (12.00am), my faction mates and I had gathered together for taking new year screenshots. DeParusa was the one who suggested this mini faction event. At first he requested all the faction mates to gather at City of Auch near Eleonore,the Auch Pioneering Officer. We planned to form the alphabet 'O', 'X', 'G' and 'E' but there was full with other families. Thus, Stresseman suggested that we change location to Cite De Reboldoeux near the Fountain(around the PVP Officer). There were just over 10 faction mates that joined this event. After we succeed in forming the alphabet 'O', I had suggested to do the word 'OSIRIS' instead of 'OXGE' and other families agreed. Every families do very well in forming the alphabets and luckily, we managed to done the alphabet 'O', 'S', 'I' and 'R'. After the alphabet 'R' was done, most of families got to go and that time its already near 1am. I would like to thank all the families that suggested this mini event and participated this event. I'm not smart in using PhotoShop program, so I used the Paint program to edit the screenshots to form the word 'OSIRIS'. The screenshots' quality not that good though.

My First Expert Team

I was so happy because I finally managed to get my very first Expert team, that was my Grace, EmiliaTheSage and Arthras. I have been playing Granado Espada for around 2years and now, I finally got Expert characters. I guess I'm the only player who needs to take 2years of time to train my characters to Expert *sob*. There are some of my characters have been became Veteran for 1year just like my 2 Elementalists, Jaina and Lina. Both of them became Veteran since last year's Christmas(2008). I do not have any good bracelets or bracelets with Undead damage, so I can't train my Elementalists inside Skullic Ancient Territory unless I train them together with other characters. Skullic Ancient Territory is the best place to train your Veteran characters to Expert. My characters can get around 10%(or 1 level) per day for training there together with Combat Manual-Expert. This is how I get my first Expert team. EmiliaTheSage was my first character who reached veteran 100%, followed by Grace and lastly Arthras.I wanted to promote all of them on 1st January 2009 12.00am but I forced to promote Grace to Expert first so that I could use she to train Arthras.Finally, my EmiliaTheSage and Arthras had been promoted to Expert on 1st January 2009. Arthras was the first character who promoted to Expert and secondly, EmiliaTheSage, for the year 2009.
