RB Killin'

We meet in the Cruma Marsh.



This was actually a really hard Raid Boss, and we were not able to kill him.

Another RB!

OK, I hope you're not getting sick of these raiding posts. Today's boss is back down in the wastelands, the same place we killed the Basilisk earlier.


There he is, the big tough guy!


However with a healer and a tank, any raid boss is possible.

Another RB fight.

Not a major post, but a cool picture of another raid boss! After killing that boss in the Ruins of Despair I got to go here. This boss is actually in the dwarf newbie area.

Ruins of Despair Raid Boss

With another pick-up group I went to the Ruins of Despair and ended up fighting a really cool looking raid boss. This guy is going down as one of my favourite looking bosses! (I wonder if this model is used in other places in the game? I'm sure it is, but I don't know where)



We start off fast, hitting the monster with everything we got.


There he is! Pretty cool huh?


Ugg, look at that tongue!


Boom! (Unfortunately this camera angle doesn't show you the off-screen mages, but this explosion is one of their spells)



Yay, we emerge victorious!

Another day, another raid boss!

I think this is actually a really pretty shot...

Pirate Raid Boss Killin'

Raiding is a common activity in Lineage 2. While it is not the easiest game to find groups, mechanically, it is easy to find them because of how necessary they are. OK I doubt I made much sense there. What I mean is, in Lineage 2 you need to shout in towns to find a party for a raid boss or anything else. There is a LFG tool, but it is seldom used. (It's a bit clunky and can show enemies where you are) Yet, because grouping is so vital and important in Lineage 2, groups are easy to find. So it's not uncommon, especially at the lower levels, to randomly find a raid to kill one or more raid bosses. Sometimes this ends in failure, other times, it goes pretty good!


First there is the essential buffing process...


Here he is! Ugly, I know.


Alright, time to cut 'im down!

When You're Near the Ant Nest You Gotta Kill The Basilisk

Like the title says, when your near the Ant Nest you gotta kill the Basilisk!


I met up with a random group of people. No problem, the Basilisk is easy to take down.


And here we have our more cinematic picture, got a nice view on this one.


These wolves are kicking butt!


I always think it's cool how at these newbie levels you can kill a raid boss and everyone levels up at once.

Heine, take down a dragon raid boss

OK, so it is not quite a dragon... but hey I think it's close enough! Actually there are other bigger dragon raid bosses in Lineage 2, not including the huge boss dragons, but this one is much smaller.


Well, there he is!


I think he (or she) is rather cute!


And after fighting... which I er, didn't take pictures of, I relax at the very watery city of Heine.

Taking Down Some Raid Bosses

OK, these next couple Raid Bosses are probably some of the first RBs you can fight. I think they are level 20. However, I'm still at a low enough level to do them, so when the opportunity came I jumped at the chance to join in.


Entering the dungeon! The Elven Fortress (near the Elf newbie village).


Our first raid boss, a good ol' demon.


OK this screen is just cool.


This is actually a different newbie dungeon, and a different raid boss. This is at the Elven Ruins, on Talking Island.

Hawkeye!

I have completed my class change quest and am now a level 50 Hawkeye! Here are some pictures of my adventures on the way there.

Here I am talking to a Dark Elf.
And talking to a human.
I just love this picture. ^^
Just a bee. :P Big one though!

And finally... after a long class change, I became a Hawkeye! I bought some Theca armor, some jewels, and a Dark Screamer! Why did I get a dagger instead of a bow? Because the top lux bow sucks and I can actually do better with a dagger at this stage of the game. OK let me explain that a bit more for those of you who don't understand. In Lineage 2 you can only buy no-grade and d-grade weapons from NPCs. However you can trade with some npcs for a limited # of C grade weapons, armor, and jewlry. Instead of paying in adena, the C grade costs crystals. Crystals... well thats a whole nother story. :P But to sum it up, castles in Lineage 2 make crystals. So a clan that owns a castle will have a great source of income.

Well, how did I afford all this C grade gear? I bet you can guess...
Yup! Good ol' CowNoseTheFatCat.

This weapon is called a Tarbar.
Heh, I have never seen a whole group ding like this.

A Return to Lineage 2

Well, this post is a long time coming! I have taken a small holiday break from blogging (not that its very hard or anything, I just have been doing a lot of gaming) and I am back, with a new MMO! Well... I suppose it is not really NEW but it definitly is a favourite. Yes that MMO is the one I love and hate and can't seem t0 stay away from, Lineage 2!

The first character I would like to introduce you to is my spoiler, KauKauuu
Yes, I just had to give her a cutesy name! It's a female dwarf! Here she is standing infront of a cool looking raid boss.

I also made a male dwarf, for crafting! I have never crafted before... but I think I like it. :)
And finally... my main character CowNoseTheKitty!
Ahem XD Here my friend plushiemushie and I are having a swim.

But wait! I have more exciting things to show you! Some PvP often goes down in the Execution Ground.
Here is CowNoseTheFatCat showing off his brigandine armor. It's not a full set, but I don't really need one.
Here is a shot of me running into the Execution ground.
Here is a pretty shot of kitty at the Elven starting area. :)
Well that's all for now! I look forward to many more pictures to show you guys in the future. ^^

Yeah... I know.... but what can I do? I started playing L2 again!

I am definitly addicted. XD So when Deviant Realms shut down and I heard everyone was moving over to SupremeL2 I decided to check it out. Turns out they had a new 15x server that was going to start brand new! Now seemed to be the perfect time to start playing again, tottaly new server and all.
Look how many people there are in the starting area? XD That's like... half of Deviant Realm's starting population right there.And when I went to go get some newbie buffs I was just like, "omg!" That poor newbie buffer is getting raped! Some people where even screaming, "I'm stuck, move so I can get out!!"
Grabbing my newbie weapon I head off for some adventure.
If you have looked at my very first blogs (the really bad ones) you might remember these waterfalls.When I went into this dungeon to kill some stuff with my friend I saw this huge line of people all waiting for... something? I can't tell if its some quest monster or a raidboss they are waiting for.And after some time has passed, here you can see me killing a Stakato in the Cruma Tower region. :)

It's been fun so far playing on a new server. Will I stick with it? I'm not sure, I think I just might. I sure do switch MMOs way too much!
