    In the hopes of the Ironman guild being able to clear Horntail, I've been grinding away at an ironman bishop which is now LVL150! Solo bossing on it is absolute agony but I'm very wealthy from Ulu2 grinding.

    Also I'm a junior in the guild, so if you are waiting for an invite, please feel free to send a buddy request to SoloHealing! Otherwise I'll try and hunt you down ingame if you post your IGN here.

    Update 13-10-2024

    Today I reached my first major achievement—the Quest Specialist Medal!

    I was kind of stuck in the 780s, but turning in the Maple History books unlocked a new questline that took me to that golden 800!

    Aside from questing, I've been hunting for some decent equips to take me from my str-less start to 90 str total. I got lucky at Henesys gachapon and got myself a level 90 crossbow and a level 90 overall, along with some scrolls to work with. The Maple gods blessed me with good scrolling luck, and I'm very happy with my current equips!

    The next big milestone will be 4th job, which will probably require a Hime kill or two ;)

    Day Two: No pictures as nothing of particular note happened. I did get stuck in Thailand fighting chickens for a while, since I've been going around grabbing every quest I can before setting to grind.

    Day Three: Back in Victoria Island, and I've gotten every quest I can. Leveled up to level 26. I've decided to put my primary focus into the Olaf quests, mostly for the snail pet, since remember, this is my second account and I cannot get NX by voting. plus I'm only letting myself get any NX items with NX I get from bossing. (I'm hoping to put together a somewhat decent outfit in the Halloween event coming up).

    So, as part of the Olaf quests, you have to defeat the old snail...

    Which I did! My first 100 NX. It's a long road to be able to Gacha.

    I also got the rainbow shell on my second try. The EXP from Pia's quest basically gave me 100% of a level as I went from about 60% on one level to 40% on the next. Nice.

    I'm at level 26 now. Short-term goals: level 30 & Ariant quests. Mid-term goal: Complete Olaf's first set of quests. Long-term goal (only because I'm not focusing on it right now): Do the scroll quest so I can start trying to scroll some stuff. I haven't picked up any interesting scrolls yet, though.

    Day Four: Making progress! Level 31, which means I'm officially a brawler. The extra HP is nice but no noticeable difference beyond that yet. I wish I was faster. I miss teleport so much whenever I play a non-mage class.

    [​IMG]

    I am starting to notice the lack of a good weapon. Without a proper knuckle besides the free level 10 one, these octopirates took me like five minutes.

    [​IMG]

    But we did it!

    Now I mentioned wanting to finish Ariant quests, which I started. I stayed in Ariant from level 27 to 30. Now a short break to grind zombie mushrooms until I get a Maple Knuckle. I picked up the 999 quests for them and the horny mushrooms and I'm good to go.

    The way they spawn amuses me.

    Equipment-wise, I am definitely feeling behind there, too, although I've prioritized questing and leveling over equipment hunting. I picked up a leather purse with more attack than my brick from a slime or something, as well as a better pirate overall and some level 15 shoes, but nothing too impressive so far. Here's hoping the zombie mushrooms will be kind to me! If not, I might switch over to drumming bunnies, although I'm not confident enough in my stats quite yet. At least the pirate clothes are kinda cute?

    Short-term goal: Maple Knuckle; mid-term goal: finish Ariant quests; long-term goal: better equips and scrolling.

    Day Five: Not much happened since the Overwatch Halloween update dropped and I spent most of my time playing that lol. Just grinding Zombie Mushrooms. Found a couple of claws but no knuckles so far.

    [​IMG]

    I did find this, and I'll use this as an opportunity to discuss my philosophy towards using equips I find on my Ironman for other characters. I feel like storing it0 and selling it on another char is still profiting off my Ironman in a more traditional sense, so I will simply be NPCing anything I find that is not relevant to Ferrro. It's sad, but such is life!

    Day I Lost Count:

    Slooooooow going grinding in the Ant Cave for a Maple Knucke. I found like, five claws and thee lama staffs. Completed 999 horny mushooms and zombie mushrooms. Level 34. Then, as I was literally complaining to my husband out loud, it dropped!

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Pretty decent! Should last me well until 43.

    [​IMG]

    Of course, my free 60% scroll from The Rememberer failed :(

    Despite that, the damage increase is insane. I went from at most hitting 300 to seeing 800 sometimes. The accuracy is also pretty helpful, since I'm able to hit Jr Neckis maybe 50% of the time and Jr Boogies about 10 to 20, which makes boar and croc hunting much easier.

    Short-term goals: Turn in quests and complete as much as I can in Victoria Island, then go back to Ariant; mid-term goals: complete first Olaf quest and obtain my free pet, start hunting level 43 claw; long-term goal: complete scrolling quest.

    I'm now going around catching up on quests after being in the Ant Cave for so long. Grabbing my straw hat and raggedy cape today, can't wait for the insane fit upgrade.
