What happened?!

Yeah, I honestly do not know what to say. I, recently, have quit maple story for a couple of months. I do not know why; I do not know how. I left my blog, my only product, on the shelf. It is dusty. Now that I am back, I shall keep this venue an open book. Not only maple story topic and accomplishes will be posted, but other material. This way, I can keep it updated and more active more often.

Finally, I am really sorry for the lack of new posted material. I promise to make this zone a much better one. You can take my word for it.

Thanks all!

Woah, I don’t know what to say! I really felt happy at this moment to a point where I even forgot to update my blog. I feel terrible for keeping many of the viewers on hold, but forgive me as I am starting a new life in the US. Everything has been going remarkably well when it come to maple and real life. I arrived to Ohio end of last March 2009, March 24th to be precise. Having met new and very nice people and getting accustomed to the American culture and tradition is making my journey very exciting. What do you know, I’m just a kid who grew up in a small suburbia in the UAE, more than 6000 miles away from where I am at the moment.

Anyways, speaking about my achievements maple-wise, I finally made it to 4th Job. It was at 4:02 AM (EST), March 21st that I advanced and got my 4th job. I really enjoyed the thrill as I experienced the rebirth of my old Bowmaster. I really thank all of the people who helped me reach this goal starting with my RL best friend Maan (TheTimeM), Maya (MayaSChan), 3zooz (DarkxOcean) and ever person who has been encouraging me in the best guild (PwnfulPwners). Thanks Stephy (Reedwillow) for being such a nice leader! I hope this wouldn’t be the end of this fascinating journey and I really wish that everyone would be able to aheive what they truly want.

On a side note, I am currently working on my 4th job video. My friend will be coming to my place someday in order to help me with the editing aspect of video making (sorry, I’m not savvy when it comes to video making and editing), so stick to your seats as the creation of the video takes place. Last but not least, I would to thank every single one of you who are interested and kept track of my journey. I hope this inspires you as much as it inspired me.

Thank you!~

Finally, ten more levels for BowMaster. This makes me feel so hyped-up! I also would like to thank my best friend Maan (TheTimeM) for taking the time to train with me, since the exp gained there is phenomenal with an Arch Mage. At level 110, I HP washed and I can proudly say that I managed to hit an HP of 3553, which I feel so proudly of, since I can have the option to train at Crimson Wood Gaurdians once I hit 4th Job. I think we can start the official countdown towards BowMaster. I hope I can become one some day … again! ;D

Well, now that Arrow Rain is maxed, the damage capabilities it has is simply irresistible! As for leveling, 10 more levels to go, oh lord give me the power! D;

Ah, at last! I finally hit level 100, and with it, many things have come to my realization. Level 100 is considered as a very remarkable and an epic milestone in my Mapling life. First of all, just by having the thought that I managed to hit a triple-digit-level again makes the whole thing so statically new and refreshing to me and I almost feel like I’m going on the right track with this. This and a lot of other things make this moment for me ever more wonderful, and of course, not to forget mentioning the spam that preceded it! XD

I have managed to solo my first Headless Horseman at level 98, and to be honest, he wasn’t hard a bit actually. Puppet served its purpose over here and soloing him once between now and then really helped me from breaking the usual training routine of mine. In regards to training, I’ll start to training with my buddies mayaSChan (Bishop) and TheTimeM (I/L Arch Mage) who both were so graciously agreed to help me with training. Since I’m still level 100, I’ll be able to leech the Jr.Newties and once I hit 105, leeching Nest Golems shouldn’t be a problem. But at  this point, I can train at bottom without the risking of dying, since I have HP washed and I can start feeling the magnitude of the influence it has on my training plans. HP never proves to be useless, and I’m thankful for that!

I have also gotten married to a friend of ours called Etha2, since she’s a single freind and we thought that investing a friend maplewise is a good idea. I also would like to thank all the guests that helped this wedding to be as vibrant as it was, and good thing there weren’t any complications of wedding glitch. We also APQ’ed together, not like I haven’t APQ’ed before, but this one was the first one on this Bowman of mine. I also enjoyed the thrill of earning my first apple. I think I’ll just keep stocking them and have a major apple sales day! :D

Oh I almost forgot mentioning, I have finally gotten that NLC Warrior Throne that I have always wanted. Finishing all of its quests was a major pain! Took me an entire week since the drop rate of the items were horrendous and two of the quests required me to go all the way to Ludibrium TWICE! But they also came along with some very decent scrolls such as Glove Attack (70%), Wand Magic Attack (60%) and 2-Handed Sword Attack (60%). That should make up for the time spend and pots in the process! I also had a very great deal on a (DEX +32, STR +4) Level 100 Overall for my (DEX +25) Level 50 overall and a small difference fee. Very dramatic rise in my damage range, along with the AP that I have reset for the STR gained from the overall, since I’m a Low-Str Ranger.

Here’s how things went to progression so far:

Thoughts:
YES! Finally made it to level 100! The spam is just fascinating. XD

Level 90, where two of the most drastic and extreme things have occurred to me in my mapling adventure. I really was getting very bored from training at Jr.Newties, and probably that was due to the fact that I just stood there as I was doing the same repetitive this over and over and OVER again, but I’d say it was because  also for the fact I wasn’t able to party others to training with me, which made it so lonely for me training over there all alone. I really didn’t enjoy Jr.Newties as much as any other person would, so I tried searching for new monsters that are as good as Jr.Newties and not far from Windraiders, I found these other monsters called Nightshadows.

Nightshadows are those monsters that mainly reside in the ‘Craven of Honor’ which is past ‘Lower Ascent’. The are very good compared to Jr.Newties. Training there is fun, proactive and never boring. The exp is minutely lower there than at Jr.Newties, but I really enjoy myself over there. Mainly due to the monsters getting stunned and getting owned easily, with their low knock-back damage which I found very convenient. I’m planning to continue training over there hopefully when the time comes that I can be partied effectively at Jr.Newties. I also decided writing a guide about those monsters, since I thought they were too good not to be written about, and therefore I could add them to the collection of my guides. I also managed to complete collecting all 2000 Rascal Snow pieces, since I really don’t think that spending lots of mesos would be wise on a chair, so I took the time collection. 2000  Rascal Snow pieces might sound like a lot to collect, but really if you collect 200 everyday, you’ll have that chair guaranteed in 10 days, and days pass so fast by us, don’t they?

The beauty of this phase of my mapling adventure is that, I traded my bow and some items that I have been desperately trying to sell with a fair amount of mesos for a 114 weapon attack, DEX +4 Metus. This bow used to belong to its previous owner named Kyle “WickedRange” who is a level 200 Broan BowMaster. I felt the urge to have this bow in possession since I really believe that this bow will be the one that I’ll have for a very, VERY long time, possibly through my entire mapling career. This bow has increased my damage range so remarkably to a point where I see 4k damage from a single shot of my strafe at level 95, which really looked nice along with the usual 2k’s and 3k’s  that I have been dealing with.

The pain of this phase is that I managed to blow up two Zakum helmets using helmet scrolls for DEX (70%). The blowing up part wasn’t the most annoying thing. It’s just that I am a stat-dependent Low-Dex Ranger, so without the helmet I cannot really train since my bow would be unequipped, and the hassle of tracking a seller and getting a helmet just is so wearing. I don’t know, but I’ll definitely have to scroll my helmet later but certainly  nowhere near from now. Possibly when I can earn one, I’ll go and give it a shot. But now, I’m pretty much contented with my current helmet.

Anyway, here’s what progress looked like:

Well, here we are again. I know it has taken me a long time to get my blog edited, but what can I say. I have gotten in a position that required me to consume most of my time that I used to spend on my Blog to do other things regarding real life matters. So here I am, I finally made it to level 85 with a fairly decent level of Silver Hawk (level 11) that has a stunning success rate of 80%. I thought it would be a great change if I head now to Jr.Newties and try the exp there, if it’s any better. The exp at Lower Ascent was still remarkably good, but I believe the time has come to try something different.

Moving on to another accomplishment, I was finally determined to get that Hog that I wanted to badly! I pulled myself together and did the Hog quest. It was a shame that I didn’t have Arrow Rain whilst doing that “Protect-the-Hog” quest, but after a couple of tries, I was finally able to get it done. At the time to catch the Hog, it wasn’t that difficult. All I had to do is hit it and cast puppet so I can get it in a tight corner. I did and BAM! Hog has been added to your PokeDex! Lmao XD

So here’s what progress was like:

So, level 80 is definitely a beauty, isn’t it? I mean, better looking and stronger equipments. Well, the training place was pretty much the same, and Windraiders have successfully delivered me the satisfaction of steady level up. With the new bow that I have equipped and maxed Strafe. I 2HKO them 100% of the time, so I’m thinking that this Arund will be stuck to me for a long time! It’s really great seeing the pace of progression in such a period of time. And most importantly, getting past those Elders is no longer a top issue!

So here’s what progress was like:
