【GE+Illust】 Punisher + Sketchbook 01 + BARRELS!!!11!!1

Dream-team

I guess I'll take the big news first.

Most have already seen it in game; a certain family's Lionel with Punisher stance. Mine, that is. Indeed, my dream combination has come true. I haven't really gushed about it in public before since I thought "Hell, it will never happen anyway", I always just thought of it quietly. But here it is, and it has left me completely poor for quite obvious reasons.

Ralph and Lionel are one hell of a team, with support from my Scout or Emilia the Sage. I've noticed on S2 that just like on sGE when Ralph first came out he gets quite a bit of hate. Sad, really. Nowadays on the other hand I get PMs asking if he (and/or Lionel) is for sale. Which they are not, by the way.

Paid a visit to Tempest. Sup bro.

Either way I'm really enjoying the team as it is right now, while I try very hard not to leave my elementalist behind. She still comes to very good use in Clock Tower and Torsche's Basement though - her Tension-spamming is incredibly useful in the latter.

With Lionel and Ludin along with a few others reaching
master, my family has reached a base of lv50. Finally!

Sketchbook 01: Reckless, Ludin, Scout

A while ago, actually a very long while ago (around Christmas) I bought a Moleskine® "legendary" notebook. I finally dared to draw something in it, as seen below.

Reckless Emilia in Violeta costume.

A doodle of adult Ludin.

I wish this costume gets released soon.. Earth of Bless. ♥

Readers

Silkye's pretty Asoka!

I want you readers to know you're precious to me. It warms my heart when I get random PMs telling me what you like, dislike and what you read or what you would like to see more of. If you're not on Bach or sGE then it's also possible to drop a comment anywhere on this blog. It's great to know that people also actually come here to read these kinds of entries and not just the guides, although I do know that is one of the greater reasons people visit.  I'd love to interact and talk with you guys more!

I'm also soon at 100,000 visitors - if you are the 100k visitor please take a screenshot if you want and leave it in a comment with an artwork-request (GE-related only)!

BARRELS!!!!!!!1!1!11!!

Since I don't play on weekdays I spend my time drawing, doing schoolstuff, making food.. the usual you know, but I also almost always have a playlist of PewDiePie playing on my laptop while I do those things. His channel is awesome, please take a look at it if you like funny stuff and/or horror game playthroughs. He's really scared and webcams himself while playing and doing a commentary/voiceovers so it's quite a spectacle!

They don't even deserve to be spelled correctly.

【GE+Illust】 Capitaine Musketeer + FAQ & Illustration pages

Updates

I've updated the blog with an all new Frequently asked questions page as well as changed the Illustration page completely. If you have any questions not related to my blog updates or already released guides then please do ask on the FAQ page.

People have also been asking me about the new RNPCs like Mary. Sorry to say, for now I don't know anything more than you do. I wonder if her quest is even public yet.

Art? Art!

Now that I don't play actively unless it's weekend I would like to draw more. Above is my most recent artwork featuring one of my musketeers. IAHgames recently finally released the Capitaine set for Musk, I grabbed the costume but not the hair. I love Wild Layered Shaggy too much. Einn actually donned the Navy Captain uniform but I put it on Rayn instead. Now they are truly twins as I got my 2nd Wild Layered Shaggy for Rayn too.

I'm wondering what to do about R18 artwork though. Been thinking of using password protection with a question or riddle. How's that sound? As well as tag every post with something special, if I can't figure anything out then just "R18: BL/GL/etc".

Game progression + WX PvP

Due to me being pretty much 100% afk on weekdays my leveling progresses very, very fast. My family level has reached 49+3, maybe 50 is soon to come after all!

Calyce, Claire, STW and the Sage have all reached master. Lorch and ATP are probably halfway to master as I write this. I'm in need of a second sabre as well as sabre costume, so if you have some, do contact me. Mainly interested in Golden Damascus for the sabre.

I'm liking World Cross PvP more and more though I am utterly shit at it, not gonna lie. Even with Catherine Torsche. Still, somehow I've managed to get into Empire ranking, almost top 100. Admittedly, Plusle sometimes does the PvPing -- hence why I'm lvling ATP and Lorch at all, to give him more to play with.

【GE】 Weapon Costumes video + Blitz Assault

First off, I've hit family level 48+3. Whew. Got alot left until 50+3 though.

Now then. So a while back I said I wasn't interested in weapon costumes.

Liar, liar - skirt's on fire.

Turns out I have somehow collected quite a few of them anyway.

Since some of their glows are quite peculiar I thought screenshots are not enough, so I created a video with the weapon costumes currently released in sGE. Many thanks to my friend who let me borrow the Javelin, Sword and Angel GS costumes for a while.

Edit: Just as I posted this there are tow new costumes available - Black Dragon Dagger & Rod. I'm not interested in either of them but if anyone would lend them for a minute I could record them.

I also managed to acquire Lisa's expert stance Blitz Assault through the quest. I got lucky when it came to KoG, it spawned minutes after I entered Perilside cave. Elmorc took a while longer but Plusle told me to "go there *clicks on map*" and indeed, none other than Elmorc was standing on that very exact spot.

Mini-announcement: From now on I'll only be playing/raiding actively on weekends, during weekdays my characters will stay afk 24/7 in Castilla AT or something. ~_~ As such I stepped down as deputy leader in the Pokemon faction so please don't PM me about joining/information anymore.

【GE】 Ludin + sGE v9.5

Lecter family's and my Ludins starring Fireball and Brother costumes.

The southeastasian server of Granado Espada recently updated to version 9.5. This means a lot of new updates, a few new rNPCs in the game and a lot of new characters in my Barracks.

While visiting the Port of Bahia we noticed a small, yet strange, figure. It was a little girl who seemed to go by the name Ludin. She wished to go and fight strong monsters, which we advised her not to, but she insisted (quite a bratty and demanding attitude, really!). 

Much to the family's surprise: the little girl was found out to be Lionel von Hanen's little sister. Oh boy. This could not bode anything well, seeing past experiences with Lionel.

Indeed, the family was forced to urgently send Mireille (female elementalist) up into the Clock Tower again to investigate the 10th floor before Pharrel could. After running up the tower in her high heels (too proud to admit they are not the greatest to wear at all times), she gave up at floor 9 and Valeria took over. Despite the trouble, all went well, and we reched the 10th floor before Pharrel could.

The family reported back to Lionel and took him to see his sister in Bahia. The lousy thief from Byron, Taikbin, was harassing Ludin at our arrival. This angered Lionel and he wished for Ludin to join him on his "vacation" at the family's barracks.

Ustiur Farm. Currently raising a Cockatrice!

Version 9.5 in general is nice, but somehow deflating the ingame-item market alot while the cash shop items rise in price. It is also the rise of e92. Great for new families, not so nice for rich/high-end families. I have also finally managed to get proper armors for Ralph and Scout, but the darned things refuse to go +6 and have already went to +4 over 5 times. I don't have alot of vis to keep trying for now. I managed to get a good chip of defense+res+dr on the scout one within 8 chips.

The family has tried out various new functions and missions. Among them:

• Revised Hellbreaker and Gate of Fire
  They are very easy and a source of 92 chips. 6 keys of Capybara for HB and 1 Fire Orb for GoF.
• Ustiur Farm
  I'm not too keen on farming, really, but some seem to enjoy it. The rewards are good if you have the patience.
• Demonic Toubkal Mine, Demonic Secret Tower and Demonic Ice Wizard's Tower
  These give better regular rewards than the previous Demonic Missions.
• Faction mission Fury Stonepit Disaster
  Incredibly easy faction mission but the mission is bugged - we get ported out before the roulette is done.
• Revised Market Manager
  You may now search item rank and enhancement. Prices have been given new color codes. Prices can be sorted from low-high, high-low and newest.
• Pioneering Merchants Guild
  With a Home Premium Service running you can reap 6x 90/Veteran/Expert G exp cards and 2x Training Card A/B/G a day. I've chosen Magia because you can buy the Hurdy Gurdy costume from it as well as Vet G cards. In the future also the recipe for Enhanced Will of Argus.
• Castilla Ancient Territory
  Great place to level experts to master. Solo/duo it may take perhaps 1½-3 days.
  The entrance is located at base 1 of Castilla.
