    Welcome to the challenge mate, I have added you to the list.

    IMO skipping out leeching feels so good. As for washing, it is still possible to do a semi wash by just adding some base INT from the beginning. It will slow you down but somewhat pays off in the end.

    Welcome to the challenge! I have added you to the list. feel free to add my to your bl or contact any of the jrs to be invited to the guild!
    (Jrs: Samadhi, Ironside, Ironbeard, Ridduhr to mention a few)

    Thought I'd post an update. As many of you know I've started another Ironman named IronBeard. IronBeard is Super Saiyan Centaur Pirate (A.K.A Buccaneer) and sports the most glorious of beards. On this character I will be doing absolutely ZERO GACHA. This means I have to farm for everything including scrolls, and so far I am very excited to hunt for everything. I was originally going to go for no event items also (AKA op Rudolph Nose) but since face items aren't farmable I'm going to make an exception for the nose. Im not missing the Pilgrim Hat though, there are some sweet pirate hats to hunt for.

    Here's the photo. Personally, besides the AWESOME BEARD, I like the little gold earrings the best. They are small and subtle but somehow they add a lot to the look. Screenshot (11).png

    I'm probably going to wait until after I can wear a King Cent to decide what to do with my weapon.

    EDIT: Puny Human Pirate for reference:

    I also thought I should do an update post

    Well there's my look as of now, I just today reached level 90 AND got the 10k snow for the tedtacular bearingtons, only took 2 weeks but I'm really happy with it.
    Besides the level and the Hat not much has happened, I have decided to start adding LUK for some extra excitement with equips (lvl100/110 equips and ele staffs)

    The last thing of interest is the progress made on my baby :love: my cape

    I think we can all agree, I'm the best looking Cleric in the Ironman guild.

    I gotta say, I wasn't expecting much from the job change to priest.
    Although after putting that first point in Angel Ray.
    I'm in love.

    While trying to find my way to leprechauns on Foxz I ran into a HH and took the opportunity and killed my first HH on Duckz today, only 20% and no head but it was fun, took roughly 20 minutes

    (p.s. the scroll was topwear str 30% I believe)

    Great progress everybody! We really need to take a turbo-old-fashioned group picture someday!

    Last progress update of the Year! Wooh!
    Status: slowly approaching to three-digits level. Currently in love with my White Knight.
    [​IMG]

    This is a somewhat verbose progress update. Holidays are bad for my writing incontinence.

    I've decided to completely avoid Wolf Spiders, and go explore the Mapleworld in search of good solo maps.
    To do so, I've maxed Blizzard Charge to open my way to Leafre by level 90. Being able to freeze as a melee is wonderful too: easier mobbing, no magic projectiles to worry about (Inkjet from Squids included). Perfect for a solo training-oriented character.

    Favourite WK-friendly solo maps so far:
    • Ludibrium - Unbalanced time (Dual Ghost Pirates)
    • Leafre - Battlefield of Fire and Water (this small map is perfectly split in two: top plats have Red kentaurus, bottom has Blue. Switching between charges is somewhat fun).
    • Zipangu - Armory (Bains, a bunch of fire-weak Male Bosses on the right corner of the map)
    • Leafre - Red Wyvern's nest (Red Wyverns)
    [​IMG]

    I have also started hunting Headless Horseman (which is lightning weak) for a Jack o' Lantern and a nice EXP boost (when I am lucky enough to find one quickly).

    After 3 failed attempts, I managed to scroll myself a decent Morningstar (landed 1 30% and 5 60% on a +3 avg one), which helps me to keep going. Here is a sneak peek of my current (average, clean for the most part, derp) equip too:

    [​IMG]

    Current goal: scrolling a decent lvl 100 weapon to get a little upgrade before Crushed Skull. Luckily Kentaurus-es are pretty generous with Hammers, so I hope to drop a godly one soon.
    Here is my little hammer collection:

    [​IMG]

    I've started doing daily farming sessions at Florina Beach for 1h 60% BW scrolls (those crabs are so happy yeee). My goal is to drop at least 1 scroll every day (got 4 so far). Aiming for 7-10 scrolls a week.

    [​IMG]

    This reminds me that I also need to start working for a good shield.
    Since I am going 1handed, my current goal is to drop a godly +8/9 STR Shield that could work with Shield Mastery. The dream would be getting a godly Crossheider while gaching for Shield Scrolls at Showa, but I guess I'd be lucky to ever get one.

    Who cares if my char is built on top of a holy trinity of underwhelming formulas (blunt weapon + 1h weapon + damage reduction)!
    PALADIN + HAMMER + SHIELD = DEEPEST LORE
    (having a high W.DEF makes training somewhat more comfortable too)

    tl;dr: I'm a scrub, I'm having fun.

    Well! Wish you a wonderful journey and a happy New Year!

    I'm all about a group picture, seems like there's not many of us left. Hopefully people will come back and some people will convince their girlfriends to play, and their boyfriends to make Ironman characters.

    literally just figured out how to spoiler by quoting a post haha

    On the hunt to boost my shoe game at Goby! Trying my luck on a good bottom from the bonefish there as well.

    I hope this also solves the mystery in what hair I ended up choosing.

    Quick update: another Ironman joining the 3-digits club!
    [​IMG]
    Thank you dear Himes horde, now I can go back playing the hipster!

    [​IMG]

    (I don't plan to do anything fancy in the next days. I'll try to keep my usual slow but steady training\farming pace.)

    Edit: this is (not even) my final form!

    After blowing up 3 pairs of earrings and failing a scroll on another pair will this be the one?
