Was completely unprepared for that tournament, but it was a very interesting concept and a lot of fun. Had to hop on from my phone and stumble through, but still had fun.

Halfway there. I need someone to race or I'm going to lose motivation and stall out for months
With a final strike of the hammer, you finish forging the longsword.
Your eye for detail tells you that a sleek, western longsword cannot be refined any further, and has reached the maximum level of perfection that may be achieved with it.

One more agonizingly slow level to go. I have sacrificed much sleep this night... be back at it tomorrow! Nice view from up here for sure @Van!
Stayed up until 6 AM to finish my bid for dragonhood.
Or, rather, to watch poor, long-suffering @Penwize finish my bid for dragonhood. I didn't have to lift a finger, and it was glorious.
Still, I slept through all three of my alarms, and I'm now particularly late for work, but I did want to thank Penwize for all of his hard work. I never thought I would manage to have such a good time grinding toward an endgame goal.
My avatar is an image created by this very talented gentleman, of whose work I am extremely jealous. It was not originally a picture of Amunet, but it certainly looks a great deal like how I envision her!
A blood-curdling shriek rips through your ears as Aran'Kesh, the Fleshrender finally expires, his death knell shrill enough to dislodge the blocked pass, freeing passage down the mountain anew.

Yeah Tisette is really efficient. Admittedly I stopped bashing at 98% to 99 a while back so I could force myself to focus on house tasks. Hopefully will finish those tonight, and then hit dragon immediately following. I also got my resolution for dragon, so ready to rock and roll as soon as I become a full guild/house member for the third time in the same city that I neverleftohgodwtfhappened
OK. Couldn't help it any longer. Impulse control problems.
Stepping forward nimbly, you slam your head towards a young rat.
You connect, stunning yourself momentarily!

I'll can still hold off until rank 5 to do the ceremony shhhhtuff. This headslam was for @Caelan
You just saved me 20cr.
I do kinda like the fact you hung back all Tortoise and the Haire and Ginarrbrik got so close and then you heard the call of competition to FINISH HIM. You playing w your food makes me think you may be part Wolf.
@Ginarrbrik you know what? I'll still give you 20 and bring @Van's previous 10 up to 20 as well. If for nothing else than giving me something fun to watch as I rewrite my entire system in the shadows.
Im starting to think this could be a legit side hustle in the game. Gambling books on newbies. TRADEMARKED AND COPYRIGHTED. DONT STEAL MY IDEA. ;-)
Since everyone is really curious! I came from Aetolia which has insane XP boosts available all the time (mint chocolates and chalice of knowledge give 130% and are both purchased with credits or milestone keys over there). I told myself if I was going to make the jump here, then I needed to do it when there was a hunt boost or else I'd never do it (because I'd tried before).
I pushed myself really hard to get into the mid 80's before the hunt. Then the day the hunt aura turned on, I used the HAPPYBIRTHDAYACHAEA boost, which stacked with the Great Hunt boost, and added life enhancement, profithyst, ire elite boost, golden glass orbs, and a lucky heart-shaped chocolate plus some rare minerals. I think I only paid for a couple profithyst as people I'd made friends with in Mhaldor, or people I knew from Aetolia, were wonderful and throwing stuff at me that they weren't using.
With all that, for the whole day the birthday boost was on, I ran between +970% and +1370% to experience and hunted the entire 24 hours.
In addition to that, i was doing a ton of forays throughout those three days. I would get a huge amount of experience (between 5-50% depending on the level I was) for getting the killing hit. Everytime Aran'kesh or Icosse was on the board I was trying to a group together. I slept during the great hunt itself, and then did it again the day after with the aura still on.

Amazing strategy, and thank you for the transparency with it. I'm thinking you now hold the dragon record, so congratulations!

Unfortunately not! She's off of it by about a week. I think the record is 9 RL days from character creation to dragon, though I forget who it was.
I spent the first week trying to figure out where I wanted to play at. I tried a blade master and a druid in other cities before falling for serpent (my Aetolian is a Syssin go figure!). Then I did Mhaldor house tasks, which broke up the monotony of hunting.
