Leveling Outside Giran

This is not the most stunning post, nor the most exciting, but it does show Giran Castle in all its glory, and some of the local wildlife.


There she is, Giran Castle!


And a Dragon.


And a Harpy!

Leveling Up Killing Grandis, More To Come Soon

Hi, sorry for the delay between postings. I have been busy getting back into the swing of school and all that sort of stuff. Thanks for reading, and expect more to come soon! In the meantime, here is a picture of me leveling up killing Grandis and Harpies outside of Giran.

Best day EVER!!

Oh man wow I just had an awesome day today in Lineage 2! Some guy in giran was giving away ALL OF HIS STUFF including D/C/B/ and A grade armor and weapons! To those of you who aren't really familiar with how Lineage 2's value of weapons and items is well let me say this guy just gave away a year or more of hard work! (Half a year at the least, if you play a ton)

What I got:
Avadon Circlet (B grade)
Avadon Boots (B grade)
+3 Full Plate Gauntlets (C grade)
Squeaking Shoes (they make funny noise when you walk in them hehe)
+3 Full Plate Helm (C grade)
some mats.

But best of all... I GOT A DRAGON! And not just any dragon, a Strider!
My clan definitely got the most stuff... caus my clan leader got a Bow of Peril AND a Deadman's Glory! That's the same doing twice what it took to craft my DMG! I'm just glad someone in my clan got them. ^^ Of course he is probably gunna blow up one of them within a week by over enchanting...

Say Hello to CowNoseTheCat!

Hi everyone! Wow, I can't believe its been a whole week since my last blog! I have been busy with work and school lately. I really am starting to become a weekend warrior. Is that a good, or a bad thing? I'm not really sure. I think it's a good thing. I just have to keep thinking about how I could be grinding mobs for XP and Adena, or grinding sandwiches for real-life cash.

I'm not getting discouraged however, because I still feel that no matter how much or how little I do in Lineage 2 I'm still making progress towards the next goal. Some games I hit a wall and start over. That happens a lot to me actually. I think I am something of a perma-noob. I have never ever made it to a max level in an MMO! I sometimes wonder what end-game stuff I'm missing, as in a lot of games the endgame is a whole other level of game play. Okay RL stuff aside lets get in-game. :)
Well, this is my main character CowNoseTheCat. I have played this character since the begining, and she was the first character I made on the Deviant Realms server. I think it's been about four months now and she is an impressive level 62. I sometimes look at other peoples levels and feel like it could be higher, but then I think about how much time I have spent on this character and how well equipped she is and I feel good. Dwarves level slow anyways. :P

Gosh there is just so much that has happened on this character that I could never sum it all up. I think the hardest thing I ever did was I soloed in a Catacomb for AA (ancient adena, you can use it to buy special items and upgrade your weapons). I spent about a week in that damn cata playing almost 6-8hrs a day! But finally I got enough money to upgrade my War Axe to the Yaksa Mace you see above. It's a fine weapon, and it has lasted me well into level 62. Only now it is starting to become a bit inadequate. At 62 I can wear A grade gear, and the Yaksa is a C grade weapon. Thats a whole two grades lower, so it's impressive how well it has kept up!

Today I decided to try fishing for the first time. I saw that my clanmate Snowmann was on, so I asked him to help teach me how to fish. He is a master angler, so I knew I was in good hands.
I got my pole and Snowmann and I went out to a secret fishing spot. He showed me a few tricks and I was ready to go! I cast my first lure and...

I got a fish! Yay! :D I love fishing! So I fish and I fish catching as many as I can. I can trade the loot I get from fishing to: expand my inventory, expand the amount of buy/sell slots I have, and craft other cool things like greater healing pots and accessories. (don't ask me how, I have no idea how fish can do these amazing things) Oh no!! A monster popped out of the water and attacked me! It wasn't much of a problem killing it... but the damn thing made my head all big! What the? I do have a cute head, but this is ridiculous. Well that's it for todays blog. :) I can't wait till the next one!

PS: As you can see instead of just shrinking a whole screenshot and pasting it I have learned how to crop images. I think this is a better way to show things, but it might have less of a "big picture".
