Log 6 • Jetsua's Quest

*Sorry for the VERY VERY delayed post, this is due to my suspension in RagnaBoards and Carla's birthday two days ago.. btw, happy happy birthday Carla ^^*

Hey! Hartz here, yet again!

So, after my job change at Hugel, I continued my journey to Rachel so that I can finish my job at the Hill Wind infestation. When I arrived at the holy city, I noticed that a few of my friends are there - Teresa, and her friends Nitsua and Kay was talking at the Inn, with another guy (a Scholar).

It seems that Nitsua's younger bro, Jetsua, just transcended into a Scholar a few hours ago, and needs to do a quest at the Rachel Sanctuary. However, Nitsua and Kay cannot accompany him due to powerlevel-difference. Since my Hill Wind job didn't have any deadlines, I offered to help them.
So I went to the Pope to get a clearance, then met with Kay and Jetsua at the front of the Holy Temple.
We got to basement three of the sanctuary, and was greeted by red flying eyeballs and some demons o_0; I guess the Holy City has its own problems aka deep dark secrets. 

It was fun, quick and relatively painless because my firepower was supported by Kay's buffs and heals, plus the Lex Aeterna spell made killing the red buggers really easy.

After a while, we went home to resupply and scheduled another run into the dark basement of Rachel's Holy Temple, which I'll post in a few days.. But for now, that'll be all peeps! Keep in touch!

Log 5 • Scheit's Defense

*ooc: Sorry for the very late post! Btw, Teresa will do commentary only for the Wednesday Siege ~_~*

Hail, Warriors of Midgard! I am Teresa of Faint*Smile, and I'll be your Scribe and Bard tonight.

The War of Emperium at Midgard~Valkyrie started a few minutes late, and still the brave men of the Impulse Guild still wasn't assembled completely when the Defense of our Agit (Schiet of Valfreyja Realm) started. But what we have is enough ~ more than enough, to stiffle the first daring waves of invaders from even leaving the entrance gates.

The first hour and a half was very uneventful, with numerous Guilds holding on to their Agits without fail. It seems that the strategy was to let the Agit spawn its guardians and lure them to the entrance, since Valfreyja's and Nydabell's Guards can take down multiple guildsmen quickly and easily. Only the Andlerangh Agit, Banadis Agit and the Mardol Agit is up for grabs..

However, during the last 30 minutes, the BloodHunt GuildMaster (a Champion, formerly from Napster Guild *sorry I forgot the name*) made it past through our defenses and Impulse GMs immidiately switched to Guardian Stone (GS) defense. The BloodHunt Guild and the Illuminati Guild broke the Second GS in a minute after they arrived, but the First GS was succesfully defended for five minutes - which is the "Reload" time of the 2nd GS, allowing it to be rebuilt once more.

*note: BloodHunt's Emblem is the Gold Lion, Illuminati's Emblem is the White Symbol, and Impulse's Emblem is the Blue Orb

Once again the BloodHunt+Illuminati Alliance attacked the Schiet Agit, and the same tactics were used by the Impulse Guild. This time, the Second GS needed to be rebuilt twice before they were successfully repelled. With only a few minues remaining, the Demolition Team (Nitsua's Division) attacked BloodHunt's Agit (Horn of Valfreyja) Although most of the demo team got to the Emperium (They were already under attack by Black Lotus, so the Guardian Stones are already destroyed), we were already too late by a few seconds - the siege ended with the Impulse Guild successfully defending the Schiet Agit of Valfreyja.

That is all, but expect another post from me since there'll be another War of Emperium: Second Edition this wednesday! So, until then, fare thee well! ^^

Log 4 • Hunter Exam

Hao! It's Hartz again!

So, I left the capital before sunset and was treated to a spectacular view of the Midgard Continent... and a connecting flight from Juno to Rachel /sob There ain't any available direct airship routes available, I guess.. It was getting dark at the airship though, so the minute I stepped at the runway, naturally I decided to stop by one of Juno's numerous tailoring shops.

And there I saw it: A Green and Gold Hunter's Attire :O /hungry My Gawd I need to have those. So I went and rebooked my ticket - this time I'm going to Hugel for the Annual Hunter's Exam. ^^ hehehehe
Amazingly, there was very few applicants this year.. I guess being a hunter was no longer "in" huh? Anyway, the written exam was a no brainer. The second exam however, was a bit tricky. I needed some items in order to create some arrows.. so I went to the mailbox and sent a message for Marj. After a few hours..
My items are in the mailbox ^^ Thanks Marj hehehe /zeny I swept through the remaining parts of the exam (the "Kill the Weak Monsters" part..) and I was petting my cute lil falcon before it was noon. ^^ hehehehe Btw, I really do have a cute falcon.. she's quite smaller than the normal falcons, but she's still quite strong.. Anyway, after a bit of celebration (the Metallings outside Hugel didn't enjoy my party..) I went off to Hugel right after sundown -
Tadaa! I'm kinda hating my Alice Doll and Hair color right now.. Guess I'll have to stop by Lighthalzen to do some hair color change hmm.. anyways, that's all for now! Teresa'll post some comments about the last siege, so stay tuned! Buh Bai!

SnS • Breaking Hearts

Welcome to this blog's very first Stats 'n Skills post, brought to you by Loki's Avatar, Gaius :D :D

The last three logs were all posted by Hartz, the Baby Huntress. My inspiration for creating Hartz was Breaking Bones (Illuminati GM, Valkyrie Server Representative) and Aisca`, my dear guildmate and an excellent Sniper.

The use of traps in WoE is one of the oldest tricks in the book, yet not every guild can utilize it properly mostly because the traps work on both sides - even on the trapper herself. Even so, since seeding traps takes less than a second, two of the three most powerful traps (Ankle Snare and Shockwave) can be used offensively (such as while the opponent is going from point A to point B.) The third trap is the Sandman trap ~ which is very annoying since it's range is 9x9, but its is basically an AoE sleep effect. The Claymore Trap, while may look good in theory since it packs quite a punch, is not advisable in WoE since it will probably kill your guildmates. A LOT of your guildmates.

So, here is the Stats n' Skills build of Breaking Hearts:

Str 1+15
Agi 50+30
Vit 80+2
Int 11+14
Dex 99+51
Luk 1+4

Buffs - Blessing, Inc. Agi, Berserk Pots
Foods - None

Final Hp/Sp - 6036/355
Final Hit/Flee - 258/189
Final ASpd - 174

Skills: Link

Equips:
+5 Poaching Earthen Bow (Cruiser Card)
Alice Doll of Kirin
Robo Eye
Romantic Leaf
+4 Tights of Clarity (Anolian Card)
+7 Bow-Master's Hood (Dragon Tail Card)
+4 Dashing Boots (Merman Card)
Four-Leaf Clover Glove (Alligator Card)
Hiding Glove (Smokie Card)

That's Breaking Hearts at Maximum Level. Here's some sample damage:

Normal (Hill Wind - 1406~1485; Isilla - 730~772)
Double Strafe (Hill Wind - 5422~5732; Isilla - 2872~3040)
Blitz Beat 960 :( Mediocre blitz damage...

Right now, I'm considering switching the Agi Stat with the Int Stat to improve the Blitz Damage.. although my Double Strafe ASpd would suffer.. Also, I maxed the Beastbane Skill since a number of MVPs are brutes, but I didn't have enough skill points for Claymore Trap and Spring Trap (!) - do I really need those? ~_~ Suggestions?

I guess that's all about Breaking Hearts.. Stay tuned for more! Teaser: Who is hartz' father? Where is he now? ^^ btw, Happy Eid'l Fitr (Feast of Ramadan)!

Log 3 • OMG! OMG! It's Mom!

Guess what!? I found my mom! Woohoo!

So, here's what happened yesterday.. The war was raging at the Valfreyja Realm near the Holy City, so it was particulary noisy at the inn where I stayed. Morning Noise = Grumpy Hartz /pif. However, when I checked my letters.. I was stunned speechless when I saw the mail at the top of the pile. It was a wedding invite, forwarded to me from Teah.. and the Bride was my mom no less! OMG! 0_0; I didn't know who the guy was (my future stepdad I suppose) but I immidiately booked a trip back to Izlude on the next airship flight.

I got to prontera just in time for the ceremony, but I didn't got a chance to speak to my mom and my stepdad until after the reception. Agatha (mom) recognized me immidiately when I worked up the courage to talk to her. We hugged and kissed, the she introduced me to Isley, my stepdad. He's a fine fellow, kinda serious but quite nice... until I found out that they're both from "work". Which is kinda creepy since there's only a dozen of them in the whole midgard..

My mom's a "True" Rogue, not the ones you see stealing cookies and stuff, but one of the twelve Blacklist Hunters of the Assassin Guild. My mom was number seven (in terms of skills) when she concieved me (forgot to ask if she was promoted since), and if I'm not mistaken, my stepdad's number eight.

So, after the chit chat, I found out where my parents are staying temporarily (The neighboring island Amatsu, just a couple of boatrides from my hometown), and left the Capital to continue my journey at Rachel.
