Rucolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

''Rucolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, was a very cute pet.
And if you ever saw it, you would even say it cute!''
On 9th February 2009, there was an update of a new items list for Adelina Booty Search, which known as Claire & the Red-Nosed Reindeer. A lot of new stuffs were added, such as Rudolph Pet, Fraulein Costume which exclusively for Claire, Frozen Swordfish Cannon, Small Frozen Marlin Dagger and Elegant Rose Rapier. Some useful spinelles were added into the items list too, such as Frogfish spinelle which is useful for families to complete Bahamas Quests, Elite Lightning Cockatrice Spinelle for those families whom wished to recruit Claire and Amber Bee Spinelle for completing the 'The Mystery Medicine' quest. The only new stuff that attracted me was the Rudolph Pet box, but I never topped up g-points since my luck doesn't seems that great in playing Adelina Booty Search. And so, I had bought one from the Market Manager for just only 8m vis on 20th February 2009 which was counted as cheap in my opinion. The Rudolph had born at 8.18 A.M. on 21th February 2009 and named as 'Rucolph'. The special ability of this cute pet is it can act as a healer and heals your character for 1.5k HP for every 5 seconds.

Black Bishop

20th February 2009, one of the most important and meaningful day to me. That was the day that I finally crafted my very very first 32 Attack Rating Bahamas Series weapon, that was Black Bishop. I had spent all my vis to buy Old Chess Pieces from the Market Manager which was cost me 15m for each pieces. Not to mention the numbers of Elemental Jewels that required to craft Archangel Heart, Siren Scale, Seed of Rafflesia and lastly, the greatest gem in Granado Espada - Dragon Heart. My first Dragon Heart was crafted at 7.30 P.M. on that day with the help of my Karjalainen. I had prepared all the ingredients that required to craft Black Bishop, but I do not have M'Boma. Thanks to my faction deputy leader, DePAHN whom lent me his M'Boma to craft the Black Bishop. Without his help, I guess I won't be using Black Bishop for now. After that, I quickly went to the Cash Shop and bought 12 Lv100 Chip Package which cost me 2k g-points for every pack. I kept praying that I will get good options for my Black Bishop. After I used my 21nd Lv100 chip, I got 90% attack to Wild Beast and some mental attack bonus. I never rechip it as that bracelet useful for training and AFK in Via Fluvial. Maybe I will rechip it once my elementalist had became Expert.

Selva Norte

Right after I completed the Bahamas Quests, my next planning was to get Selva Norte character card. Based on some guides, I was required to complete certain quests in order to unlock her quests, and the only quests that I did not completed yet were the Chaos Requiem quests. I got no other choices other than to complete it. Because all the monsters over there are level over 110, I had experienced a lot of hard times in surviving at those maps. Luckily there are just a few of monsters that could hit my levitating Emilia The Sage. Without the quest guide which created by KingdomLight in the Granado Espada Forum, I guess I will not able to complete these quests, although there are some mistakes or incorrect information written at there. I rushed to Elenore after completed the Chaos Requiem quests as I was in rush to get Selva Norte card. Everything goes fine except when arrived to the part where the quest required me to kill Huge Avalanche Apparition and Montoro. Luckily I managed to seek some help from my faction mates and some other families whom doing the same quest. Finally that giant snowman died and montoro got owned by us at 5.47 P.M. on 13th February 2009. Without wasting time, I quickly continued in doing Selva Norte quest and I managed to complete her quest 6.14 P.M. on 13th January 2009. At last, I finally gotten my Selva Norte card after spending so many hours in doing quests. Anyway, I had traded her for one Dragon Heart recipe as I'm not a rapier and her fan.

Special thanks to all the squad members:

Flamethrower

Flamethrower - a pistol that fires flaming shot with additional of 130 fire damage and has 32 attack rating with base attack of 134. This pistol can be categorized as elemental weapon and can be gotten by doing elemental gates raid such as Gate Of Flame, Gate of Lightning and Gate of Ice. Different gates have different bosses and monsters. Of course, the ways and methods to summon those bosses, which included Lava Leaf(Fire), Einwind(Lightning) and Novia(Ice), are different too. I had finally received my 1st fire series weapon, that was Flamethrower at 10.50 P.M. on 1st February 2009 by bidding it from my faction raid page. I had won by bidding 16 Gate Of Flame points, which equivalent to 16 times of attending Gate Of Flame raid. Elemental weapons works well in Player Versus Player(PVP), but not for training and leveling due to its low base attack. Thats the reason why elemental weapons' price tend to higher when compared to Vergo Series weapons(30 attack rating). Although I never attended before Gate Of Lightning and Gate of Ice raid due to my crappy equipments, but I will work harder and try my best to upgrade my equipments so that I could attend and experience both of these exciting and challenging raids on future.

Dragon Heart Recipe

On 25th January 2009, an event named 'Fortune 8 Event' which for the Adelina Booty Search game was held. This event was lasted for 16days which was started on 25th January 2009 until 9th February 2009. I couldn't play the Adelina Booty Search as I will be going overseas during the Chinese New Year week for holidays and will be back on 1st February 2009 around 6.00 P.M. Of course, once I came back home on that day, I quickly surfed the Adelina Booty Search website and try my luck to get Dragon Heart recipe. I finally gotten my 1st Dragon Heart recipe from 120 searches. Due to my greediness, I had turned all the g-points that I had to Adelina Booty Searches and hoping to get more Dragon Heart recipe. But unfortunately, my 530 searches had went down to the drain. I had gotten plenty of recipe, yes its Elite 92 armour recipes, not Dragon Heart recipe! Not to forget those invaluable Cinderella Le Blancs and rubbish stuffs like watermelon skins that I gotten from the Adelina Booty Search. I was felt so pissed off and, ''Oh My God''!? 65k g-points for just 1 Dragon Heart recipe, anyone? Sorry, no thanks for me... With that amount of g-points I believed that I could get more than just that the only one Dragon Heart recipe by trading off g-points stuffs to the recipe.
