Occulta Quest

I had finally completed the 'Father's Trail' quest and unlocked Constellation expert stances which can be gotten from Emilia Guliano at Port of Coimbra on 14th of June 2010, at 8.52p.m. Of course, with the help of my faction mate - Tiongtiong whom helped me in killing those Kobold Elders inside the Occulta Dungeon. After both of us had gathered the essential items : 5 Te runes as entrance fee into Occulta Dungeon, 20 Invisible Potion and some Red Lollipops, we entered to the dungeon at 8.14 p.m. Once we were completely buffed up, the first step to do before starting to kill those kobolds, was to run to H-8 as fast as possible. H-8 is the spot where its monster-free and Kobold-Elder-Hunters can complete their quests easily without getting crowded by the waves of monsters. Getting ourselves to H-8 was not an easy task where those Spike Trap which can be found throughout the pathway to H-8 awaiting their preys to step on them and 'paralyzes' them so that those Kobold Elders can enjoy their foods (count me in, my Musketeer and Elementalist died quite a couple of times >.>). We had squad-ed up together with Filia faction members whom share the same aim like me, completing Nar recruitment quest and unlock expert stances. I had gotten the 'Diary 1517' quest item from the 1st kill of Kobold Elder (Lucky me) and finally killed 10 of them at 8.33 p.m. After having a few conversation with Nar and Jean Pierre Gascon by using Emilia the Sage as leader and finally, expert stances, here I come~! As for Nar recruitment quest, the killing Kobold Elders part had completed, but not for the Kobold-Crounch-killing part (46 more to kill). At last, I can finally enjoy those expert stances!!

Pandora Crystal

On 12th of December 2009, I managed to spam all my 110 x Adelina Booty Searches which gotten from the 'Fight For the Star' PVP event that was held on 24th November 2009. As usual, no prized item was gotten, but a bunch of unneeded stuffs like Hermes potions, Teleport scroll, EXP cards and others, fulfilled all the spaces in my inventory. Anyway, I did not felt disappointed with this game's result, maybe I have get used to it, seen before plenty of players' post that voiced out their unsatisfied-with-the-end-result endlessly. However, there was something that caught my eyes, an consumable item, that was Pandora Crystal! I had gotten about 7 of it. Out of curiosity, I had finally give a try to use that beautiful looking crystal on 12th December 2009, 3.34 PM. First crystal used, nothing happened, I was like ''Hey what! Yet another rubbish loot?!'' On my second try, a cute mini Gerelo was summoned! Hey Gerero, here's your brother! Its level 200, has Attack and Defend Rating of 102, sounds cool ya? But anyway, its Attack is zero, which means it cannot attack! Summon a last-10-minutes-long Gerelo which for display purpose, so that's the use of the Pandora Crystal.

Hrin's Treasure Book

On 5th of September 2009, 9PM, I had bought a Hrin's Treasure Book from the Cash shop which costs me 11k g-points. I had always wonder whats the loot that I will get from this 11k gpoints worth book. Finally, I could not resist and I say goodbye to my 11k g-points. In order to use this book, you will need to find the Treasure Hunter who is located in City of Auch. You will receive a quest and got teleported to a room which similar to the one which filled with plenty of monsters that hugged their treasure chests tightly. There are only 2 types of monsters available inside the room, that are Hrin's Treasure Maiden and Maiden, which looks similar to the Iron Maiden that can be found in the Prison of Joaquin. All you need to do is to kill 10 Hrin's Treasure Maiden and click the Treasure Hunter to get you back to the city. There's nothing worth for you to stay inside as you will get no experience from killing those Level1 Maidens and its just a waste of time for you to camp. I had finally received my first Hrin's Treasure Box from the Treasure Hunter at 9.09 PM. I had did some homework regarding the loots for the treasure box. A confirmed loot is 10 Growth Stones which worth 1m Fesos. There is also a small chance of dropping some bonus loots such as Hermes Potion and symbols like Leo, Aquarius, Sagittarius and so on... Without wasting time, I opened the box to try my luck in getting symbols. Well, all I received was just the 10 Growth Stones and no bonus loot.

Brown Ox and White Cow

On 18th June 2009, there was an update for the 'Adelina Booty Search' flash game, that was 'Magic & Stars'. Just like the previous updates of this flash game, new fancy and shiny weapons and equipments were added as the new prized loots. Here are some of the highlights of the new stuffs : new summer costumes, 1 year duration back costumes, weapons and some unique costumes. There are 3 summer costumes added, which exclusively for stock wizards (Female) and stock elementalist (Male & Female). Sylph Wings and Fairy Wings are the back costumes that I mentioned earlier which have time duration of 365 days (1 year). There are 2 new Level92 and 30AR weapons added - Toy Hammer (blunt) and Elite Magic Broom (rod). Traditional Korean Costumes can be also gotten from this flash game. However, these costumes are only available to female elementalist, male fighter, male musketeer and male scout. Last but not least, there are also 2 new costumes that are definitely worth mentioning of : Brown Ox costume and White Cow costume! Hurray for the new animal-based-as-theme costumes! Brown Ox costume is exclusively for male stock character while White Cow costume can only be wore by female stock character. On 30th August 2009, I managed to bought both of these cute-looking-costumes for a very cheap price. I shall let the screenshots below do the talks.

The Forgotten Magic

The Forgotten Magic - a Lord-of-Elemental-bracelet-required stance, can be also known as the second mental-attack-based stance for Elementalist job, as a replacement for Hellena in using Lord of Elemental bracelet, where Elementalist get Lord of Elemental stance, while she get The Forgotten Magic instead. The dark side of this stance is that you need to spend 600k Fesos to buy the stance book from the Fesos Merchant. Not to forget this stance has a hidden minus 5% movement speed penalty which did not stated out in the stance (thanks to some forumers who noticed about this). My Hellena had learned this stance on 28th August 2009, 8.48 PM. This stance has a total of 5 skills, that are Frozen Ball (Freezing Sphere alike skill), Fire Storm (mini version of Meteor Strike), Lightning Spear (shorter skill animation version of Thunder Storm), Cyclone (a brand new skill animation with a large AoE but has the lowest damage output among the 5 skills, can also cause Confusion) and the last skill, Aqua Pierce (similar to Absolute Zero but it fires water instead of ice cubes). Although this stance has a total of 4 AoE skills but that does not mean that she works well in clearing monsters, as the highest number of monsters can be targeted is 6 and the mana consumption for every skills is quite high too (unless you spam potion).

Hrin & Lorenza's Birthday Bash

There was an event held on 26th August 2009, which named as 'Hrin & Lorenza's Birthday Bash'. Based on the event name, I guess the reason of holding this event is quite obvious. That's right, this month is the birthday season for Hrin and Lorenza (although I don't know the actual date of their birthday)! This event is about enhancing a sword that named 'Birthday Sword' which was given by the IAH-teams. Every family will receive the only one 'Birthday Sword' and mules will not receive any Birthday Sword. These birthday swords were inserted into the Adelina Booty Search loot, which means players ought to claim their swords from the Adelina Booty Search. The Birthday Sword is a level100 sword that has 30 AR, 1 attack and can only be used by fighters. It cannot be traded nor chipped. The higher the enhancement of the sword, the better the reward that you will get. Enhancement booster and Imperviums are discounted up to 30% too during the event was held. Once the sword is broke, it will forever gone and non-refundable. The discount is indeed money-saving for those who aimed to get +6 and above Birthday Sword. This event will end on 24th September 2009. I had claimed mine on 27th August 2009, at 7.02 PM and I managed to enhance it to +5 without the help of enhancement booster on the next day. Oh yeah, 500 pet foods for free! I had seen quite a lot of player trying to enhance their swords +8. Of course, the word 'failed' will often appeared on the system tab. That's what you get for your greediness, I guess. Below is the simple table of enhancement of the sword needed and the reward that you will receive.

Enhancement = Reward
+5 = 500 Pet foods
+6 = 3 x Blessed Angel Wings
+7 = 30 x Zodiac Box and 30 x Zodiac Chest
+8 = 3 x back wings (365 days)
+9 = Regulus' Passion recipe (33AR Great Sword)
+10 = Altair's Cunning (33AR sword)

Hellena the Elemental Enchantress

Hellena, can be known as the strongest magic character as her initial INT outstands all the magic characters available in the outside world, that is 89. On the other hand, she is the lowest HP magic character, that is 32, meaning to say that she is more vulnerable compared to Elementalist. She can be also said as the second version of Elementalist as she possesses all 3 elements stances (Ice, Fire, Lightning), just that she receive 'The Forgotten Magic' stance to replace Elementalist's Lord of Element stance, while her personal skill is 'Summon Frost' (Joker, the one looks like a clown holding a big scythe). Ania and Emilia(The Sage) will be needed in order to recruit her and the Arsene Circus quest need to be completed too. The most headache part is, you will need to sacrifice 30m to get 3 Elemental Jewel to complete the last part of the quest. After that, its up to you to decide whether to choose to recruit her (get her card) or get Combat Manual 15 days (originally it should be Dragon Heart Recipe >.>). I had received mine at 11.15AM, on 22th October 2009 and earned 30m by selling off my 10 tranquiliser, 1 red ore and 22 pure otite. I managed to train her to level100 at 8.43PM on 28th October 2009.

The Masquerade - The Arsene Circus Troupe

On 19th June 2009(Friday), Singapore Granado Espada had just updated from version3.2 The Defence of Zeia to version3.4 The Masquerade. I had been inactive for the past 3 months as I've been busy with my study. But now, I have the chance to complete the version 3.4 main quest - The Arsene Circus Troupe mission. The quest will auto-start after you entered City of Auch, if only you had talked to Queen Hamaan in Zeia by using Emilia Guliano or Emilia The Sage. After talked to Simon Ayenda, followed up by Calyce and lastly, the Burgundy Palace Guard, you now can enter the Chateau de Bourgogne, the hideout for the Arsene Circus Troupe. Players can only bring one character to enter this raid mission. There are 2 floors in this mission where first floor filled with 4 mini bosses, but you can just kill any two of them and you can proceed to 2nd floor for the final boss, Louis Arsene III. I had used my Elementalist but got killed by Celine after defeated Frost and Emily. Thanks for her high physical attack, which dealt my Elementalist around 1k damage, I had learned not to 'touch' her on my second attempt by using Grace Berneli on 21th Auguest 2009. Mario and Emily are the most easiest boss to finish off, at least for my Grace. After successfully entered second floor, I had used the 'Invisible' tactic to kill Louis Arsene III by drinking invisible potion and non-stop attacking him. Although he had summoned a bunch of mini bosses, Emily, Frost, Celine, Mario and Hellena, but he still got defeated by me after using 12 invisible potion, without left any spare invisible potion. Thank god I had defeated him after used the last invisible potion. I had used around 20 minutes to complete this quest, starting from 11.20 pm to 11.43pm. Aiks, I had forgot to take some of the mini bosses' stat and picture (Celine and Hellena).

Trump Series - El Mago

In version 3.4 The Masquerade, there are a set of newly added weapons which known as the 'Trump Series'. These set of weapons can be categorized as 'unique' as it cannot be chipped but it comes with the following fixed stats, that are 30% attack, 30% attack speed and 1 Attack Rating. The best equipment in the Trump Series is the La Templanza aka Trump Shield, with fixed stats of 10 defend, 30 block and 1 Defend Rating. Singapore Granado Espada players are lucky enough to have these great weapons as this is only server where trump weapons receive extra 10% attack speed, unlike other servers have only 20% attack speed. These weapons works great especially for AFKing purpose due the 30% attack speed stat. In order to these weapons, you need to have green,red or blue Arsene Ticket where you can get the recipi for these tickets from the raid mission 'Chateau de Bourgogne' by defeating those mini bosses. You can exchange the ticket with machine which situated in the Reboldoeux Queen’s Gate by just throwing the ticket into the machine.
Red ticket is used to exchange melee type weapons, Green ticket for magic weapons while Blue ticket for range weapons. I had bought one Green ticket recipe from the Market Manager for 4m on 3th of July 2009. I had exchanged the green ticket for El Mago, the Trump Series staff at 11.36pm.
