Defile shrines (Ashtan has like 2 because the Order of Babel has said lolno a long long time ago to shrine conflict, and no one in the city gives a shit about Vastar let's be real)
Haha, to be fair, there's like only one (maybe two) characters that can actually raise a Babel shrine due to the upper echelons of the Order being dormant.
Obviously I need to stop logging into my phone at work - I forgot I journaled in the Eastern Reaches and next thing I know, @Rangor and @Florentino are ganking me.
Thank you for your warm welcome, but you only need one person to gank me. I'm not that terrifying.
And some people think Dragon is still an achievement.
Way to harsh the buzz Sobri
He isn't wrong, nor was it particularly mean. Anyone willing to devote 14 hours of their day for 16 days straight deserves dragon, though. Like. ..do people even sleep. .what about work. .this is insane.
To be entirely fair though, I had a list of artefacts that I used to "supernoob" my way to dragon:
a ring of endurance N/A a pair of eagle's wings N/A
a Ceylonese ring N/A
a Logosian longsword
a bull caribou N/A
a Shield of Absorption Plus the following appointed to other items:
constitution(1), criticals(2), faster_extract, health_regen(1), health_sip(2), and reserves(2).
Add to this, that I also had the luck to find enough Lucrescent nuts, and Senastone to keep my skills and willpower topped up as I went would lead me to believe that I very much did this on "easy mode".
Give us -real- shop logs! Not another misinterpretation of features we ask for, turned into something that either doesn't help at all, or doesn't remotely resemble what we wanted to begin with.
Thanks!

Vhaynna: "Honest question - if you don't like Achaea or the current admin, why do you even bother playing?"
First KOTH, albeit a small one. Shaman vs arti serpent/dragon + magi = painful! I think I did okay. Sorry @Reiloch / @Elly if my leading was a bit awkward sometimes. Kudos to @Aesi and @Lala

I took a shipload with several eager novices out to go seamonster hunting and after about 2 hours of seeing 0 seamonsters.... well. I'm pretty sure they are never going to want to go sailing with me again!
Although yeah, is there some weird issue with sea monsters? After nearly an hour of looking through areas we had seen them in the past (Sefyric) and not seeing a single one, something feels incredibly off.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
A black tendril of mist coalesces from your hand and enters a dirangi cub's brain, causing him to
flinch in pain.
[ 32x ] - You have scored a WORLD-SHATTERING CRITICAL hit! - [ 32x ]
You have slain a dirangi cub, retrieving the corpse.
DENIZEN SLAIN | DENIZEN SLAIN
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 99.
You have reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.
A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.
(svof): Your max health increased by 49h/0% to 5151.
(svof): Your max mana increased by 41m/0% to 4359.
Didn't break any speed records, didn't arrive fashionably late, definitely glad to be done with all that grinding for the sake of grinding bullshit.
Special thanks to my boss for turning a blind eye at my multitasking between working and bashing while on the clock. Also to my wife for not understanding, but respecting a grown mans desire to stay up late at night staring at a monitor in order to become a fire breathing text dragon!
I have experienced the most weird anti-raid attempt which I have seen until now. Since Magnar is not a combatant, I don't care much about fights in Achaea. However I wanted to defend the city today. We were like 10-15 people in anti-raid team. Raiders were just 3 people and we attacked them with only 2-3 people from the range. Rest of us just sit back and expected not to die. However most of us died and raiders succeeded. And when I asked that why did we attack from the range with a few people instead of charging with whole team, I got a response like "because they attack from the range" from someone.
1. Joined forums (wooo~) 2. Sparred 7-8 people, a few of them multiple times 3. Sparred 1v2 and won (#Savage) 4. Learned a better way to BBT (#SupaSavageSpineBreaker) 5. Participated in a pageant (Congrats Medi :chuffed: ) 6. Bought 3 room credits. Lots more to go (#PatientSavage)
Edit: 7. (As of 2 minutes ago) TRONI IN MHALDOOOOOOOR woooooo~
Hosted my first big event! Did a Mhaldorian pageant that turned out pretty fun, imo, and we had a pretty big crowd despite my concerns. Congrats Medi on winning!
Ran a House game that people actually liked, fished up about 150k, finished the preliminary designs for all the rooms in my house, talked to lots of newbies, hung out with momma @Phelia.

I have seen that happen so many times when the defenders are being overly careful. No one wants to be the guy who dragged a raid team into a melee that they ended up losing so people play it too safe some times for fear of being blamed. But the best way to overcome that is to step into those situations and learn from them if you fail. And to do it a lot. I remember dying from being walked into a totem or retardation by all the great raid leaders Mhaldor have had. It never made me think less of them because hey, that is battle. Sometimes you get it wrong. The only time when I have ever gotten frustrated is when people are paralysed by inaction, even though I understand their reasoning.
Probably won't use lesser, being dragon and all.. But played around with Shaman a bit, with their new ability, seems like it could be not that bad now (probably better with int spec, than pure con, but con for combat so...)
Using Garon/Aelkesh invokes for damage reduction / willpower cost reduction. No lessons in philosophy, and I'm basically not using any willpower at all anymore. Maybe with just a very small increase in damage it could be better, but solid so far I think.
Resurrected one novice about 7 times due to ritual backfires. Got blown up by other due to ritual backfire. Both of them had really good attitudes after their experiences.
