Minun's back!

Hello everyone,
just a heads up that I'm back in the game!

Thank you so much for still visiting here despite no real updates recently.
I recently changed the layout a little bit though
and approved/answered most comments and questions I've recieved.

I'm wondering what I should update next though. I've been looking for information on Friede but cannot find any. I'm also not sure if anyone has translated Sharon's quest yet -- eitherway I probably will do it if even just for practice and a place for people to easily find it once we get her.

I'll also take this opportunity to say all comments need to be looked at and approved by me first. There is no need to spam one question/comment over and over, I see them, but I approve/answer them when I have the time to do so.
Anyone is also free to ask questions and give suggestions via PM ingame (Minun on Bach server)! Or simply just casually talk!

I MISSED MY BABIES ♥
IAH please release the angel bayo costume already

AND I MISSED MY PARTNER TOO OFC ♥

【Guide】 Clock Tower Raid & Etiquette (Updated 2016)

Introduction

This is a raid that can be done without much hassle, or you can make it a pain in the ass for everyone. I decided to write this because I've been to a bunch of CT-runs that, while usually having good people, lacked knowledge and/or organization. Click on the "read more" below to see the full guide. Yes... it will be a long read, but it will also help everyone have a nicer raid experience.

Level: Master/High Master
Characters: 1 character per person
Max. Participants: 24
Mission Failed: If you do not finish the floor in time or if everyone dies or if you don't have/get a key to the next floor.
Time limit: 30 minutes per floor
Racial/Armor Type/RES: Lifeless / Hard Armor / Weak to Lightning
Pre-requisite: Clock Tower Entrance quest
Item/s for entry: 1x Spell Key (buy with 2 Moon Stones from Jenia in Byron F6)

30 Day GE Photo Challenge

30 Day Granado Espada Photo Challenge

Turkisqueen thought there were too few "GE-meme"s, so she created this fun 30 day photo challenge for Granado Espada. Basically, once every day for 30 days you answer the prompt with a screenshot. Now this is mainly done with v9.5 in thoughts, so for now Sword 2 players who wish to do this may have to get creative.

I added a link up top to my own challenge answers over at Tumblr.

【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 gfx】Adult Ludin!

... Herp n derp what am I using my time on. orz I also made a watermark-brush speicific for this blogs images.

If you take images from my blog please leave them as they are, do not put your own link on it.

A post on v9.5 will be up soon and I'm working on ~something else~ too (GE-related) so that takes a bit of time.

【Unlock Evil Weapons】Demonic Jurgen Quest

【Demonic Jurgen】

Version 9.5 Quest

This quest is to unlock the Evil Weapons. (34AR, untradeable, nonsellable)
This quest is also pre-requisite to recruit Ion.
It's recommended to save warps in Byron and at Dr. Torsche.
You cannot save warps in the Gardens, but you can save right in front of the entrance.

1. Talk to Lionel. Go and investigate the Secret Garden F/G 8. Entry from the guard in Byron Crow Forest for 1 EJ or for free from inside the Lucifer Castle Entrance-map. Go back to Lionel when done.
2. Talk to Grandice in Ustiur.
3. Talk to Jenia. She will ask you to kill 100 King Gehcos and 25 Mandragoras in Secret Garden/Moonlight Garden. Talk to Jenia when done; the reward for this tedious task is a mere Medal of Honor G. Please read below for more tips on this hunt.
4. Talk to Lionel, then to Jenia. Jenia will ask you to investigate the Secret Garden F/G 8. Move to the spot to recieve "Shiny Machine Piece" and come back and talk to Jenia again.
5. Move to Dr. Torsche's Laboratory and tslk to Dr. Torsche.
6. Move to the Moonlight Garden F 4/5 to find "Black Machine Piece" and then move back to Dr. Torsche.
7. Move to Byron and talk with Veronif. You will be moved to a non-combat instance. Talk to Veronif again afterwards.
8. Move to Auch and talk to Lorch. He will ask you to take him to the Moonlight Garden.
9. Include Lorch in your team and move to Moonlight Garden F/G 5. You will be moved to a non-combat instance. Grandies will attack you but you will not die from it.
   
10. Move to Auch and talk to Lorch. 
11. Move to Dr. Torsche's Laboratory and talk to Dr. Torsche.
12. Move to town (Auch/Reboldoeux/Coimbra). A quest will trigger to go back to Dr. Torsche and talk to him.
13. Move to Byron and try to operate the Time Paradox Machine. Those that finish this quest will have access to a new menu: "Evil Weapons (Repeat)". Clicking this option opens up a menu for accepting various Evil Weapon quests. You can only make 1 weapon at a time. If you wish to cancel your quest and pick another, choose the same quest as first time to cancel it and then pick another.

For the doghunt and mandragorahunt it's advised to go in a squad for faster completion. One person should bring a good tank, the rest DPSers. A Rio would be nice too.

The King Gehcos cannot hit flying and they will most likely not 1-hit ko anyone wth good armor - but a few hits will kill. These dogs are really not that troublesome, you just need to kill so many.


For the Mandragoras beware - they spawn about 3-4 Bees if you get close and those can 1-hit normal characters. Have your tank keep the bees on one side of the corridor while DPSers stay on the other side. 

Some characters like Lionel and Flintlockers have enough range to solo mandragora without spawning Bees. If you run out of Mandragoras in one spot, move to the Moonlight Garden or change channel. Watch out for other monsters/minibosses.
