Finally Akki reached 75lev on his Dark Avenger. Mission is complete and I can come back to Amber. So i did so.

In last weekend Amber was deffending their castle at Rune - but it's nothing special. Unusuall thing is that Legends was attacking side - so for a first time I had to fight with my ex clannies. I was almost sure everyone gonna threat this as oportunity to get a bit fun and free PvP. unfortunetly I was mistaken... badly.

Couple of days before siege I recived some shit talk PMs about beign traitor (hell'o i was not in legends since 6 months?) and idiot in general. Whats more Aliteratical feelt power between his legs and started treathing me with ban at Legends forum and such. To my suprise I really lost my permissions, which is quite strange since unwritten rule of this clan was "we are friends and one big familly" - so all most all ex-members had full access. Since i've never did anything against Legends i was badly suprised (as far as I remember 2 weeks ago i was helping them with Fortress). So end of last week wasn't the best in my life as you can imagine.

At Sunday we had siege. Almost nothing special, after 1h of waiting we moved under Oren Castle to help HoE/Vestige in siegeing castle. Unfortunetly 10sec. after my foot landed at siege ground we get information that Legends started attacking our castle. So our only option was to die as fast as possible and release at castle. So we did so.
We catched Legends at our main gate and wiped everyone. After that we move for Legends flags - all went fast and without complications. 10min later Legends rushed our gate again, this time they didn't even reached it - and siege was over. We manage to keep it for next 2 weeks.

People tend to forget...
At beggin of week I PMed Tomonari to ask him for giving back my forum rights. Since we always where on good foot (with whole clan) I wasn't prepared for this what happened. When I only mentioned about forum rights Tomo simly stopped talking with me. Quite pitty I have to admit, especially if we look a bit in the past and see ow much I have done for this clan. But seems it doesn't matter anymore.

Even if it's hard lesson i can live with that. 3 years old chappter named Legends is closed now.
Good luck guys & girls I hope that someday you will learn to see who's your true friend and who's not. You keep people which break all clan rules and ban those which never failed you. Good luck.

S grade and big sellout | 2008-08-28

Hell yes I reached 3rd class ... and then hards time have come...Reaching dreamed by me S grade brings me a lot more problems then I though. Why's that you can ask. Of course price of gear pinned me down.


As i did 76 level I started to thinking that maybe full S grade gear is in my range. Of course we are not talking only about Draconic Bow but full Draconic Set. To my suprise i'm really close to it but still I don't have all money. Difference is not big but spending all your money is never a good idea - You simply loosing cash flow coz You don't have resources to invest in new things. So in order to don't become "rich beggar" I looked at my bottomless warehouse once again :)


If you dear ready by a chance need any of those items feel free to contact with me.
Here is Sylvian's sellout list:

- +3 Shyeed Bow w/Focus SA
- Bloody Orchid w/Focus SA [SOLD]
- Foundation Zubei's Gloves (it's new CT2 rare craft item)
- 2x Zubei's Helmet
- 2x Zubei's Gloves
- 3x Blue Wolf Helmet [SOLD]
- 3x Black Ore Earring
- 7x Mid Grade LS 70 level

Please help poor dwarfie ^^

Wind of change... | 2008-08-14

So it happened - a new chronicle Garcia went live on retail servers. With new update a lot of things changed, especially from mine point of view.

First and most sad thing for me is archers nerf. Since now on damage from bow depends on a distance between attacker and his target. The closer the target is the less damage it recive. To be more specific - at maximum range I do 100% of damage (i think it was increased by about ~5% even if there is no info about such thing in patch notes), but when a targetd aproach to close combat range damage is reduced only to 50% of maximum value! This is quite big shaft. Especially with new mob features - like using soulshots and ultimate defence skill. So basicly first day with CT2 was pretty scarry, when I was almost killed by treasure chest which crited on me twice for 1,6k dmg. With evasion boost and halfed my dmg output i had hard time with killing that thing ;)But after couple of hours you simply getting used to this. What's more we can do - nothing, only adopt to new situation.

Now the good things. CT2 Introduce new feature called Vitality System (same thing as Warld of Warcraft Resting system). Basicly when you are offline or sitting in town, Vitality is chargeing up (to max of 4 levels). At each level you get bonus of 50% more XP/SP gained while hunting (at 4lev it's 300% of basic XP). Vitality is used quite fast - especially last 4rd level, but it's really sweet thing for people like me. I don't have to much time for playing, so vitality for a most of time will be charged up a bit, bringing me much more XP then usuall. Hell yeah - here I come S grade!

Last and most awaiting change is Bounty Hunter new skill, called Fatal Strike. It's our first cleary offensive skill which actually do some damage. Unfortunetly it's doing way less damage then i thought (it gives something more like 200 dmg more then Hammer Crush, with sliiiiiggghhhhtt chance of landing leather blow). It's really not helping in XP at all - but at least it's damn nice thing to have in PvP.Coz I had accident with bots in Dark Omen Catacumbs, let say i could test it quite good :) Now i'm able to spam skills: Hammer Crush, Fatal Strike, one normal hit and again hammer crush. So after all i'm pleased :)

And that's all. I'm going to grinding... 44 000 XP from a single mob is a honey to my ears :]

Ding! | 2008-08-11

So finaly i reached 75 level on my sub class. Now it’s time to finish quests for nobless.
I belive i should have all ingredements for Hellfire Oil already - so this should be done quite fast ^^

Keep fingers crossed.

Community Spotlight | 2008-07-04

Two or three weeks ago I recived unusulal e-mail. Sender was NCsoft employee, it was Alyra our community manager to be more specific. At first I was thinking it's some damn scam attend! Who the hell would be emailing me personally from NCsoft I was thinking? So I was checking this mail carefully - looking for hidden links and simillar stuff. When I was quite sure it's ordinary e-mail I readed it finally. Alyra aked me if I'm interested in putting my lil blog at "community spotlight" secion in next newsletter - that was shock. Really pleasure one to be honest.
It's nice feeling when you do something and know that other people actulally see your work and even some of then like it. That mail make my day ;) So thank You community!

Community Spotlight - screenshoot from newsletter

PS. I wanted to share with this news lil bit later but then I thought I won't spoil my of fun and see how my friends gonna react :)

Ultimate weapon | 2008-07-02

Two weeks ago while I was clearing my warehouse I discovered that I'm in possiesion of many unneeded items. To be more specific i found couple o full armour sets... 6 of them. But that wasn't all coz i've got whole bunch of single armour items, some weapons i bought for alts like + 6 Berserker Blade with focus, +7 Homunkulus Sword with Acumen, Elysian Axe and couple of other items I don't use at this moment.
Well I always was that type of person which always keep everything "coz it maybe needed someday" ;) After fast calculations I found 400mln of Adena worst stuff which was lying in my warehouse without any reason. So I decided to sell those items until they are worth anything and invest money in some crafts, trades, whatever.

But it's only half of story. When I sold most part of that stuff I found some rare item I was dreaming about some time... +3 Shyeed's Bow with Focus SA ^^
As a poor dwarf I've never had money to buy such weapon but now... it was in my range - especially that this particular item was priced more than 100mln below market price!
As you can imagine I coudn't resist and of course I bought that bow.


Shyeed's Bow


Shyeed's Bow is kidda special weapon - it's new top A grade bow which as only have Focus SA! Only Draconic Bow have such SA - but i still need a lot of time to reach 76 level to be able wear S grade items on my Hawkeye. And yes this focus make whole lot of difference - I really started to feel it power - in example i'm able to solo Hot Spring monsters with only my Shilien Elder buffs. It's really really great thing.

Now I have to sell my old Soul Bow w/CS and give Akki's money back - coz I had to lend some from him to buy Shyeed's ;)

Rising a wolf companion | 2008-04-29

Since very begin of my L2 carrier I always loved pets. I've made my first wolf called Behemoth when I reached 15 level (you have to be 15lev to begin quest). As far as I remember someone killed it 5min later - you can't imagine how angry I was. From what i remember i PKed that person 3 times in row (that was my first PK ever ^^). Hell i would killing him over and over again but i realized that whole bunch of people running in my direction with only one purpose... "blood, kill, free itamz!!!". There where chaseing me for a good 5min, finaly they got me, of course i dropped my weapon, and some other minor stuff... You can't imaging how angry I was that day. In those times loosing main weapon (heck noone even dreamed about secondary one) was big thing - I was simply broken, without money and weapon at all. But let's go back to wolves. They where cute and damn, damn useless, but in Chronicle Throne 1 NC made some maior change. When wolf reach 55level it can be evolved into great wolf, which is real beast. With top wolf gear it can have 2,4k p.atk - which is exactly 3x more then my BH p.atk.
So as you can imagine i decided to find my wolfie (I've made second one after terrible story with first one), and level it up. This way i would be able to duo with my SE.

Because wolf level way faster if is used by a toon on similar level i made new toon to fulfill that task. Of course i choosed new race, which is Kamael - class Berserker.

ATM my wolfie have 43 level but I hope it will reach 55lev before end of a may. So keep fingers crossed ^^

ThePraetorians advance | 2008-04-14

Yesterday we have made 4rd clan level :) Mostly only to be able sign in at Fortress sieges, but fun factor was more important I belive. As most of you for sure knows - to full fill this quest you need 4 ppl. 1st is of course clan leader (that's me in this case), also you need 3 clannies which gonna sacrifice their's lifes for CL. And here is lil problem... coz we have only 3 persons in clan. It isn't a big thing but I find this a bit hilarious - we had better activity then 100% and heck this is archievement ;)
