Bad Etiquette (ROFLWAR and LOLDRG)

Thanks to some good fortune, some ok-ish parties and nice soloing opportunities, DRG has gone from 18~27 in a couple of days with less than five deaths, and not one de-level! (one being narrowly avoided by about 100exp) Having obtained Healing Breath II at level 20 (restoring 75~95 HP, depending on wyvern's TP), soloing became much easier, allowing for relatively easy chains on Even Match~Tough mobs (presumably thanks to the signet bonus, EM things are a pushover).

Buburimu!

As was the case with BLU, birds at the Buburimu outpost proved to be a winner for exp at 19~21 (18-19 was spent in Shakhrami, but the majority of worms there pop up as Decent Challenge at 19, so for future reference it's probably best to do worms at 16~18, then Birds at 19~21).


Qufim!

RMT are back in Qufim, I saw them still there earlier today and was surprised that I'd managed to actually out-level them...a sign that I'm playing too much perhaps?

In any case, I got a party there for a couple of levels and had the usual 'fighting over worms at the pond during the day / oh shit, it's night - every man for himself!' Qufim experience, which of course is a pain but there's little else that can be done about it (and I couldn't find a decent solo spot, and didn't fancy Gigas pets again).

I came back in a couple of levels to solo the worms, which turned out great, getting about 5k exp within 30 minutes although I did encounter another person there (fighting worms) who I wasn't sure if he had arrived before I had. Since he was /anon and had no search comment up, I decided fuck 'em and killed everything in a flash of awesomeness. He left without saying anything, and I ended up feeling bad about forcing him out :(
But really you're asking to be ousted if you don't but a search comment up since it's essentially your fault for allowing that person travel there expecting to see a free camp.

Yuhtunga Jungle! (and the ROFLWAR)


I met a geniune nublet in his prime - the tell-tale signs of the underleveled sub, greatsword on warrior attested to his overall inattentiveness and lack of contribution to the party. I did send him a friendly tell to provoke stuff and keep defender up (he did tank admirably for all of one fight - I suspect he felt he had satisfied me, and went back to whatever he was(n't) doing before. I can at least be thankful that he had a decent full set of armour (a rarity, even at this level) sadly that was all he had, as I was forced to /check him after he switched to polearm to see what the fuck he thought he was doing. His bazaar comment has to be one of my favourites to date.


Hey is that a polear-mhnGHHFGFHHouch

I was lucky enough to have made an excuse to leave before even joining the party (I got the invite when I only had an hour left, anyway) and went shortly after I leveled - by coincidence, I assure you. By that point, the Kazham entrance area was too highly contested and any longer there would have been a waste of time in any case. I used Spirit surge to end on a good note.


I friggen love that 2-hour. I'm not sure why the second jump did so much damage, I know it has a defence down additional effect while Spirit surge is active, but I don't think it's that drastic and I didn't think it would apply to the jump itself. Maybe a critical hit? I don't know.
