For FA, the next recipes will start the requirement of "dahlia" flowers... -_- it's like I'm wasting my time here LoL. (but I know I need these flowers just as much as dahlias!)
...hmm... i'll just petter off when I feel like stopping.
12/22/19
Howdy! I did my first motherlode today! It was at Kur! Unfortunately, i need a certain mining level just to MINE the other load. (oof) So... i'll level it up a bit and get more slabs then return to doing motherloads. Mining = Level 28 atm.
12/23/19
I'm currently leveling up my Mining skill. 32 atm! I'll get more survey and try to at least max it before I do anything else. (im tired of being inconvienced)
12/25/19
~!~!~!~~!~!MERRY CHRISTMAS!! ~!~!~!~!~!~
I've been just tackin away at leveling my mining. Currently at 35. I'm planning to go all the way to max. I calculated that I needed about 590 surveys at 100exp to reach max from my (then) current level. doing better surveys and motherlodes will help though! So, it's get mining maxed --> do alotta motherlode digging --> start blacksmith level with the motherload mats --> from that, look for other skills to level up
12/26/19
Alright. So, my mining level is now 45! (real nice, eh?) I've been doing several motherlodes and I've acquire 270 Good Metal slabs for blacksmithing! Now, I need some basic metal slabs as well -- so I'll do more surveys for that in Kur. After I get enough, I'll start leveling black smithing.
**Blacksmithing level is at 31! Also, I did a caluclation in saw that it was about 140-170 surveys to level 60. So, that's always an option.
Anyway, besides all of that.. I think I'll stop doing blacksmithing and focus on the other skills that are needed for augementation.
I remembered that I have quite a bit of gear just sitting in Kib's (Red wing) inventory. The gear is purple-yellow and they are all bard/druid related.
Ever since I started trying to level FA, I became more preoccuiped with my skills. But 61-70 bard has been unlocked and waiting for me!!
So, I'm dropping everything, going to Kur, and fighting some wolves.
Oh, but before that..! I finally finished talking to Poe who was the last pre-requiste for me to finish the Augementation quest from Nightshade! So, I'm going to Kur and seeing just how far I can go with that.
Remember that you need Toolcrafting exp in order to gain the Jewerly augement recipe from Poe. (everything else should be fine though)
The biggest thing after all this is settled is finding the proper way to go about acquiring, infusing, and augementing my armor.
Let's decide right now: We are not going to be afraid to transmute our gear, nor will we wait until we receive the best/awesomest/lucky gear from a drop. Just use what you can around the LVL 70 range if it's yellow. Do NOT augment/infuse gear that is not your current level. The values are not SO different that we should waste our Nice phlog on them.
What's wrong with me?
I'm stressing so much over this game.
I just sound so overwhelmed and helpless thinking about the best method to play and how to become strong enough to contend with the mobs...
I should really consider if it's healthy for me to play this.
New plan: Go back to cow. Pair it with Druid.
Use keys on the chests after I get to 70 cow
Ok, so MONEY. I cry alot about that. But i just learned that EVERYONE has to grind for their money and I should too.
So, Work orders and industry leveling need to be done.
See the requirements for doing these Industry Work Orders and make sure those skills are leveled up!
LOL. BIG FAIL on statue work-orders. T_T. will take a long break now.. cya l8r
12/27/19
Actually, Not a big fail! Was able to sell about 20 statues by just waiting for the work orders to populate! Right now, I'm kinda in Crafting burst-modeee! I'm just doing all that i can to level up Carpentry and Toolcrafting. Next will be Leatherworking. All I'm doing is buying sharpning stone from Yogzi and making a SH*T load of easy recipes to drastically increase my levels to at least the mid 40's...
I'm particulary eyeing the level 21 "Good Skinning Knife" recipe. It's really low cost and will give me 84exp each time it's completed.
My Toolcrafting level is only at 14... so I'll do what i can to reach 21. (For this, making carded cotton then using the remaining regular cotton to make canvases, seems like the way to go)
For Carpentry it's even EASIER! Just choose the recipes that only require maple logs and tannin powder! WOO! (Try to get the bonus exp first though.)
12/28/19
Heeey~ right now I'm leveling my Toolcrafting. Im going to do the level 13 "shoddy hardcore belt" recipe a few dozens of times to get to level 21, which I've calculated is about 4300 exp or 83 usages of the "shoddy hardcore belt" which gives 52exp. Also, right now I'm making some cotton. Idk why, but I just decided to!
important: I'm learning how augementing works.
Learned about how there are 3 types of clothing
Winter (cold resistance) Bard (Nature resistance) and Evasion (Projectile evasion)
These clothings will AUTOMATICALLY have these stats. No need to add anything for them.
Now LISTEN UP! (read up -_-) Mods are only decided through the Primary and Auxillary Gems that you use! [These can be found on the "gems" page on PGwiki]
THREE mods come from the PRIMARY crystal
TWO mods come from the AUXILLARY crystal
So, an "enchanted" version has 5 + 1
"Max-enchanted" version has 6 + 1
The "+1" automatically comes from either Augmentation or SI.
LOOK man. "Augmentation" just means:
"put 1 mod on this gear"
It also means: Decomposing items for crystals and beads or undoing augements that were placed on the item on accident? (im guessing)
Now, what needs to happen: You need to go to every other person besides Nightshade who was involved in the Augmentation quest. Why? BECAUSE ONLY THEM CAN TEACH YOU how to decompose helmets, chest, jewelery, ancillary-armor (shoes) etc. Just go talk to the other 3 people:
Malgath(Wolf Caves| teaches main-hand, off-hand, gloves)
Gribburn (Hogans basement, Eltibule| teaches helms and boots)
Syndra (in that shed/barn in Kur | teaches chest and leg armor)
Poe (in Myconian cave| teaches ring and necklace)
[I do not know how much training 1-50 skills costs]
\_ o_o _/ "ah well..."
Kohan and Ufkar teach 51-70 for ALL of these.
Total Cost for learning: 551,000
Hey hey hey! It's not too bad! All I have to do is absolutely hoard my Work Order earnings! ;-;
SO! What's the big takeaway? This:
Keep on leveling your crafting skills. Namely, the ones that can help you acquire money. Including cheese making. Finshing working on toolcrafting to however far you'd like to get it.
After that, start leveling up Leatherworking so that you can do other Work Orders
63,600 exp from 26-50 Toolcrafting. If I'm using the 84exp "Good Skinning Knife" recipe, then I need good slabs for that.
Or. Huh... less than 50 motherload surveys.
And when you factor in that you'll likely get 20 or 25 it becomes 32 surveys.
This might be a really good idea. I'll make the surveys let's see if we can get it done with only 32.
And I can make a Gold Dragon Statue that gives me 10% extra exp! So, now the exp total is:
57,240/84 exp = 682 good slabs. 15 slabs per motherload = 45 surveys. 31 surveys if you get the average of 22 slabs per survey. We only need 682!
Let's set the goal to 30 surveys!
for level 70: 250,550exp - 10% less is 225,550exp
/84recipe exp = 2686 slabs / 15(slabs per surv.) = 180. if 20(slabs per surv.) the average is then: 134 surveys.
Adding both of these together gives you about
3370 good slabs. 224 surveys. 165 if average is 20 slabs per surv.
12/29/19
2 days left until 2020! 2019 almost gone ~_~!
So, I did quite the breakdown for the survery exp yesterday ^ and I already know that while this is possible... it would only comsume ALOT of my time compared to just using recipes with more exp.
So, I've decided to use the cotton related recipes since cotton is much easier to acquire!
BUT first! I'm going to level my textile creation skill to 45 so that i can get the recipe "Carded Cotton (Master Level)" wich allows me to get carded cotton with only x4 cotton instead x5 cotton!
I also talked to Kleave in order to get some Leatherworking skills and I obtained the "Rough" and "Crude" Leather working skills! She also has 3 more recipes that go all the way to level 50 Max enchanted.
side note: Made my way to Gribburn to get ancillary decomp. recipe. but I needed 25 Tailoring!
So, I'll work with that along side Leatherworking.
I'm looking at the recipe list for tailoring right now. I'll focus on the easy ones.
Preparing yourself for tailoring because it'll be the most difficult skill to level most likely. There are like 5 DIFFERENT trainers that teach their own specific recipe. (you don't neccesarily need to go to them, so just focus on the main recipes that aren't too costly)
So, refocusing on Textile, I need 45.1k exp to get to level 45.
I'm getting really annoyed that the potential gains i could get from the effects of flower arrangement aren't being used while I do these Textile recipes. I'm going to use what I currently have to try to level my flower arrangement up to at least.
Scratch that^ it's not worth it at the moment.
Making more cotton at the moment. Will do this until 1k.
From this point, I need 260 Fine Cheesecloths for level 45 Textile. (But before i do this, I should really question if I really need it or not!)
OKAY. 45 Textile Accomplished! Now to upgrade this recipe.
So now, I'm going to start working on Leatherworking. Now, I know I don't have great amounts of money, so I'm trying to level these skills without buying new skills which could make it easier.
I'm going to skin (or buy) some rough, crude hide.
12/30/19
Just do what you can. Battle Chemistry will do for now. It's fine to just level this one up for now.
Don't forget to work on Leatherworking and Shamanic Infusion. (Buy the mats you need from Mush. Jack.) Yes, Leather working needs to be done. Why? REMEMBER. You need proper levels in it because you're growing in levels and need to be able to CRAFT your OWN armor. Don't rely heavily on other players. They're in their own game. You just gotta do you. You got you.
So, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Toolcrafting. Let's bring all these up. Check the Work Surveys to confirm what levels you need.
12/31/19
It's NEW YEARS EVE! I'm gunna stay logged in to celebrate! Let's count down to 2020! Woooooo!
So, right now, I've decided to get Unarmed leveled.
Why? Idk. I just need a distraction from crafting. Just remember, this game isn't going anywhere -- so do what you want.

1/1/20
*~*~*~*~*~*~HAPPY NEW YEAR!! *~*~*~~*~*~*
It's finally 2020! This year will be a good one! (hopefully last too~)
SO! Right now, I'm in Eltibule training my Unarmed to level 50. I'm currently at level 31!
Once I do that, I'm going to buy 51-60 and save for 61-70. In between there, I'm focus some time on getting my tailoring skill up. It's only Level 4 right now D: But, its a good thing that I already got my Textile Creaiton to level 45! x4 cotton required for carded now, so the entire process is less arduous!
Make some Shamanic infusions with what you have>
Going to go Staff/Ice Magic
Go kill Lomas to get started on ice magic.
53.1k for all of Irkima's SI recipes.
1/3/19
Hi! Guess who has two thumbs and acheieved 55 Shamanic Infusion??? o-o. It was me. YESSS! Finally have 55 Shamanic infusion! I'm on my way to making better armor and stuffs! ~_~!
So, now that that's been done, I'm going to focus on the other crafts.. i.e Leatherworking and Tailoring.
1/5/19
I talked to Ukorga and got my favor to "Close Friends!" He even gave me 1000exp for Leatherworking :). So, noww... with the new Leatherworking skills I bought from him, I'll train them and much as I can. I'll just continue leveling Leatherworking and buying the new (not max-enchanted) skills. Also! I just learned 5m - 4hour Ice Fishing recipes! A good day for recipe learning!
Hitting a bit of a wall with training the skills. I'm out of money and I can't farm properly. I need to commit to raising my skills up and getting much more decent gear. I am going to do staff/shield.
1/6/20
Heeeey. So, I'm leveling Staff in Gob. Dungeon. Currently at 39. Now, remember the point of doing all of this is to get good skills/ skill mods that can combat against hard mobs. I want to be strong enough to solo orges or trolls in dunegons.
Also, I just found out about Hopology. -_- I earned this skill the first time I investiaged Timothy Elmerion's stuff in Wolf-Cave. Since then, I hadn't even noticed it. I think I assumed it was a skill for brewing and so I just ignored it. ah well.
Did a small calculation and I only need to do it 125 times to get to 50! So... yeah :p
1/7/20
Awllright. So, I have Staff at level 42 and it's growing pretty quickly. The plan is to max it out as fast as possible and then pair it along with shield after I max it out as well. (only to max 70s for both)
Staff/Shield is supposed the be the goal. I just did some damage calculations for Sheild. And I'm seeing that I can end up doing upwards of 3k damage when I'm teamed by several mobs!
1/9/20
OK! So a bit of stuff has happened.
Hopology is now at 39.
Staff is now at 55! (51-60 was unlocked)
Aaand.. yeah. lol. That's it mostly in terms of the skills. But, woof... in between there.. I spent some time trying to figure out if 'Staff' is really want I wanted to play. Yes, as usual I'm overthinking it... but this is my style!! o-0 So... for staff.. the good parts are that it is an incredibly reliable skill when it comes to physical damage nullification/reduction. It also has great attacks!
But I kept asking around and I realized something.
EVERY skill is GOOD. They all have their own weaknesses, but overall, they are very good when modded correctly. That means Sword, Archery, Druid, FM, IM, Psych, Unarmed, Shield... all of THEM! SO. Since I am at a point in this game where I only have to decide my skills and then mod some gear for them... I just need to understand that this is the near to end-game content and I'm inn the true "'enjoyable" part of this MMO. I have the oppurtunity to level and choose my skills and orient the mods in any way I choose.
So... worrying about the 'right' skill is pretty stupid. The main idea here is that: I shouldn't feel like my time is being wasted just because a skill might not "suit my fancy". Just use your head. Listen to the advice you've received from SEVERAL people and SEVERAL sources and just have fun experimenting. And know that you are NOT going to be level 70 in whatever skill you're attempting to level up without going through Gob. Dunegon HELL over and over again. LOL. Make it a point to take every damn skill through this ugly dunegon if need be. Get stronger. Move on. Done deal.
----
Just did a calculation. I got about 9k exp after doing only just 13 MINUTES of Gob. Dungeon.
WOW. I'm going to track my progress and see how much exp I get in another 13 minutes.
Starting at level 56. 185 exp.
Results: 13 mins yielded me 6k exp.
note: (another player was killing the enemies. didn't get to do the hallways, just the inside rooms)
Decided I'll be going to Kur to train staff on the wolves! The phy dmg immunity is going to work GREAT over th
1/12/20
Getting bored of training staff. I'ma do Druid/Fire
as Aws suggested for me.
Ugh.. i hate fire magic. idk why. Just do. But I'm doing this for great recoil damage! So.. yeah :S here we go. FM level is currently 40.
WAIT. WAIT WAIT WAIT. Let's at least get Staff to 70 before jumping into FM.
1/15/20
Ok, it's been 3 days. Since all this time, I've been leveling skills like crazy. I got Staff to 60, Mentalism to 37, Hammer to 31... yes.. i've been kinda testing out which skills I want to main... so it's been a bit crazy. BUT, I've decided that I want to get 71-80 Animal Handling! WHY? Because I realized that we can get a pet B E E. <---! Like, an actual bee! (or wasp) from FR!!! I need like 370k councils.. so I'm going into extreme savings mode right now. Spend as little money as possible and unlock 71-80 as fast as you can!
1/17/20
kinda dragging out this update...woof... So, I've done alot of things I can't remember.. but GOOD for me! Right now I'm still trying to choose the better skills for me. I leaning towards staff/shield or Druid/shield. Now... do i REALLY want shield?
Well... i don't hate the idea of using it as my main skill for some time.. So, it's fine.
1/18/20
Right now I'm leveling Hammer. I'm thinking about going Hammer/Necro. I need to go to the Fae Realm and see if it's ACTUALLY allowed or not. (ugh... i can't be THAT gullible) Also, I just found out about Buckle Artistry! It's specifcally made to improve Hammer ablities: Healing, bonus damage, bouns armor, hammer base dmg, pound to slag CD and general CD.
Talked to Agrashab! Just need to get Hammer levels up! I needed to complete Jake the Bucklers quest before he let me learn Buckle Artistry! no wonder... So, just train Hammer and get on getting that Lemon chiffon dye to Jake.
GET lemons.
1/19/20
Buckle Artistry and Dye Making have been unlocked! :D I'll level these when I can! I'll need flowers all the the dye making recipes, so I need to get the appropriate seeds and keep them on stock.
Also, I got 51-60 Surveying and Mining! (MAKE sure to level up Blacksmithing before doing any more work orders for smithing)
Right now, I'll be focusing on Buckle Artistry.
1/20/2020
Oooo look at the date! 20 20 20... ooowow soo kewlll. OK. Right now I'm making ALOT of cotton in Rahu Casino so I can have enough supply to level Buckle Artistry (BA).
So, I unlocked 61-70 Transmutation from Sona! But.. I need 8 more levels to learn everything related to distilling gear. plus side is everything only costs around 37k... bad side is that I need 160,000 EXP for the next level T_T.
Go back to Rahu, sell the Gaz gear (if you want) then start making cotton again for BA!
1/21/20
I've acquired ALL the "decomp" recipes! (it just took me till 1am =__=') tired.. going to sleep.
Tomorrow, just focus on getting your cotton back for the BA skill. You need alot of Canvases. Try at least 200-300.
Leveling BA and I'm going to serbule to making my BA levels since there's a gem pot there.
1/23/20
I'm doing ALOT of Motherlodes for Work orders.
Next time I come back, I need to go straight to Kur and con

1/24/20
You need 10 more silver and gold!!! for the statues!
1/29/20
Ok.. I've been in and out of PG. Mostly, I'm trying to find ways to just make money, but I'm realizing more and more that I just need to level my skills to max and acquire decent gear for them. So, I'll be leveling hammer more and getting it to 70. And I'll be focusing on saving money for 80 Necro.
As for my skills: Blacksmithing is at 57
Fishing is at 59 (need to buy next levels)
Mining 63 (need to buy next levels)
Tailoring 25
Leatherworking 37
2/5/20
It's Feburary! So, a little bit has changed.
I began to get serious about leveling hammer and now it's 2k exp away from 70! ^_^
I have some pretty good level 70 gear for the Hammer/Necro I'm planning to run. It's gunna be fun! (maybe AH is next?)
So, yea! atm, I'll finish maxing out Hammer and buy the appropriate skills when I can. Then comes saving up for level 80 Necro and Hammer!
Besides that, Orcish is now at 50! ^_^
2/6/2020
WOO! I got the specs that I wanted for this Glove from my Hammer/Necro! PTS & Seismic AOE! :D
Now, gear that I'm wearing that NEEDS to be rerolled:
-feet (both necro mods)
-off hand orb (reverb strike mod and rebuild undead mod)
and some others, but this all starts when I can get nice phlog.
i want to remove the -25 power from the necklace if i can and get hurl lightning & thunderstrike dmg
^DONE!
I rerolled and got some GREAT mod on the level 50 gear. The others need some nice phlog to change, but great mods for the level 50s!
Thunderstrike at 818!
Oh, and... HAMMER IS LEVEL 75!! HAHA!
(Now, I HAVE to buy the next levels T_T)
Saving up, here we come. Selling come Decent phlog and Prisms in stalls. Hope for a good turnout :] -I'll start looking into carpentry leveling... but I need to keep my council saving in mind.
-Don't forget about Buckle Artisty
-Try to find methods of making money
-try going into hard dunegons.
2/7/2020
Go get favor with Laura Neth in Kur with these tasty paintings!! o-o
Ok. Next time, I'm going to continue leveling Ment at Kur. The exp in Gob. Dung isn't how I want it... great getting paintings tho!
Im choosing ment b/c of the power res and the damage buffs. :/ I like what I like.
2/8/2020
Not much happened today. Just continue leveling Ment. 41
2/10/2020
2/12/20
going to get ment 50, and kill some gob dungeon elementals for money and RWT barterables
Hammer 71-80 will cost 352k! Gotta remember to save!
Remember to buy a Crainiometer in KUR TOWER!
2/13/2020
Great job. level 70 Tranumation, Ment is over 60... hard work today. till' next time. Oh, yeah.. just level Ment in Kur. [DON'T FORRGET TO BY 61-70
2/15/2020
Welp, it's over now for sure. Don't think this was the best move, but i really hated those long periods of being ignored. Just because i can't contend.. why just totally phase me out. (edit later)
I don't think ill get into any other guild now... went too far. but oh well... the guild didn't deserve it, but whateves. new start and all that junk fnwi0otfgnbaweotgfnaw4t0ghnawt-yg9hn damn it all....
(add to wiki) (add spaces in between log)
what to do now......
2/17/2020
Ok, things are lookin up now. I'm not as hated as I thought! :) So, now.. I'll just continue leveling Mentalism then get 71-80 Hammer when I can.
71-80 Hammer is finally UNLOCKED! Along with Pound to Slag 5 and Pound 7!! :D First, I REALLY need to get more beaks for aquamarine gems... then.. back to training! ONWARD to level 85 Hammer!!
2/20/2020
It's Twenty Twenty Twenty! ._. kinda rad.. Anyways!
I have offically gotten 80 Hammer!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! ~~*~*~*~*~* So, I can finally say that Hammer leveling is offically done! ^_^. Now, I just need to level Mentalism up. Currently at 71. 80/71... not bad Mr7, not bad.
What I want more than anything is 80 Ment so I can start making my build better. I'm still using some items that have Necromany mods! X_X so... I REALLY need to change them out as soon as possible.
OK! With the exception of Reckless Slam, Leaping Smash, LAMH, Discharging Strike, and Rib Shatter...
I've gotten all my mainly used Hammer skills from Falkrin. Seismic jumped from 807 to 1276! (Oh, the wasted Seismic's ;-;) Alright, so I'm going to Agrashab in Sunvale to see if I need anymore Electric Hammer skills, then, I'll be getting some Mentalism skills from Rohina. Ment is un-levelable right now! Cap is maxed at 74 until I get Phrenology's to 50 or buy 71-80!
(Please remember that Agrashab's training is all done)
2/21/20
I'm doing Work Orders. Need to get strong nails from Paul V. for Nice Med. Stool
2/23/20
I have 539,100 exp to 80 Tailoring. With the exp bonuses, it's down by 15% to 458,153!
3/2/20
Woop! Good to be back! I'm continuing with making lots of cotton to level Toolcrafting or maybe I'll focus on Carpentry? ah, but for that I need ALOT of wood..
3/3/20
Continuing with cotton... perhaps stop at 2k?
3/4/20
I've been seeing about how I'm going get my gear where I want it. And I think I'll need to get level 80 in Leatherworking if anything.
Let's do Kur Motherlodes... at LEAST get around 500 gold... that would be nice to have ~_~
All the cotton I've made should be used for tailoring.
Tbh, Tailoring is the easiest craft to level up... since the main ingredient is Cotton and you can mass produce that stuff.
Stopped at 2100 Cotton. Will make half of it... then use the rest for cloth related recipes. --actually, tailoring recipes dont require cotton itself, just the products of it... But it i could make a rough guess... I'd need about... 15-20K cotton for level 80 Tailoring
If you use crafting exp buffs the amount will decrease by ALOT.
I'm at a wall at the moment. I need to get stronger in order to get better materials from enemies which will give me better mods... but at the same time, my current strength isn't good enough to fight those enemies without problems. So... i need to level up any of these crafting skills in order to roll gear instead of trying to find it via drops.
Plan: We are going to level Leatherworking. I need to get my skinning and butchering up badly.
So, right now I'm in HEAVY crafting mode. I have a STUPID STUPID plan: acquire 20.2k Crude skins for level 80 Leatherworking. I guess I'll get started.
Explanation: Leathering working needs: 539,100 exp = 6,738 crude items or 20,216 crude skins for level 80 Leatherworking. Only 458,235 exp with 15% statue bonus.
So, onlyy 5,730 Crude items! or 17,183 Crude Skins!
3/6/20
I'm going to start gathering money for 80 Ment. I decided that I want to stop worrying about it and "wasting" exp.
To get money, do the Blacksmithing work orders and remember the Rhino work order, and also don't forget about the Ruby walls.
Things I want: I REALLY NEED TO BUY EXTRACT MOD recipes from Kohan or Ufkar in Rahu. It is VERY important that I finally unlock this, because I can really stop depending on others for that!
I need favor for them to be above Close Friends.. which will require 600 or 1200 for Best and 2000 for Like Family. Buy or make Carpentry items or buy exotic potions (Farming maple in Elt now)
Things I want: I'm trying to level up Leatherworking OR Tailoring so that I can MAKE my own armor. (which is basically the true endgame)
I've currently been leveling my Leatherworking, so I'll need more Rubywalls to continue that. I very much want to do it all in one big burst, but it isn't realstic. So... I'll do what I can, when I can.
Alright, so... I'm going to finish doing these 186 surveys... why? B/c I WANNA! And I reaaally want to finish it..so, keep @ it. Remember the reasons why are:
-You need gold for Work Orders and future Work Orders.
-You need slabs for the same reason.
-You need slabs also to level Toolcrafting.
3/11/20
Doing a small checklist in order to know what my future plans are at all timezz:
-Finish the Good Slab motherlodes (do as much as possible)
-Gather 551,000 council for Extract unlocks.
-Continue leveling up Leatherworking (go bit by bit)
85 Hammer is about to hit soon!! 72k exp left!! :))
After I finish skinning up some Trophy Rhino Hides, I'll continue with the Kur Motherlodes... tbh, I don't wanna do too many of the motherlodes... just gotta watch out for inventory and all that (Marna is full... xD) Then after I do several more Motherloads, I'll start doing Work orders.. depending on how much gold I have.
OK, BREAK!
319,270 base exp is needed for 32-70 Toolcrafting. With the 15% crafting bonus, the total exp needed is 271,380. (recipes don't cut exp from level btw) divide by 124 and that give you 2,200 Good Slabs that are needed.
3/12/20
early morning ''=_='' pulling a nighter on trying to complete some work orders.
At the moment, I'm doing Viedesi's work orders
and getting some Onyx to give Lamashu to buy "Nice Storage Crate" so, I'll just buy about 70 or so to get all the way to Soulmates.
Meanwhile, I need to prepare the Masterwork Arrows.
To do that I need to gather Cedar!
Ok, right now I'm going to Kur to gather Cedar for Nice Storages for Kohan OR Ufkans favor.
I got a bit, I'm only going to do to "Best Friends" with Kohan. Strong nails are 30c at Yetta and Sie Antry.
I went to Kohan and I have an exact number of council needed for all extraction levels! And the total issss: 418,500c! I currently haveeee... 240k! I only need 178k! Very EASY!
I've sold everything in Kib's storage for a big amount of gold. Before that, I bought 50-60 for every Augementation skill, Weapon, Ancillary, Jewelry and Armor -- which cost around... ugh.. don't remember totally.. BUT, I know that I only gained about less than 20k from the armor/etc I sold in Kib's inventory. So.. let's just say I need 158k more! SO, I've decided to do a crap ton of Kur wolves in order to get there! I also need to start raising these levels so I can buy the appropriate extractions for them.. if I'm right... I'll still need to unlock the 60-70 before I get the extractions... so the money might come faster than the hundreds of gear I'll be to train the Augementation skills on.
Also, I did the math for how much favor I need left for Kohan. 1 Nice Storage crate is 33.6 favor. 1 Nice Meditation Stool is worth 27.8
Kohan was about 150 away from Best Friends, but we're doing another 800 for Like Family.
So, just know you need 115 Maple and 8,625c to buy the Strong nails... you should be all good after that though. I'll leave the maple in Serb storage.
-need to get 2 Enchanted Mistletoe from Lamashu for WO.
I'm 14 Toolcrafting levels away from Forensic Analysis Kit. Need to make some Expert Skinning Knives. (NOT ALOT though, remember this needs to be done while under 15% exp buff)
I'm going to Kur now to start farming skins n' junk. Obviously I'll continue the motherlodes.. but i just need to secure this council FIRST. ;-;
3/13/20
Ok, for the rest of the Extract abilities, I need to garner 375k council. With what I have now, plus some soon-to-be completed Work Orders.. I now
only need less than 98k! WOO.
So, while the money is obviously going to come, I need to somehow get my transumation levels to 70 in order to use the max extraction mods. So... ye.. it'll actually take a while. I should start doing that now.
Currently, still doing Kur wolves for extra money.
3/15/20
So, I just got done doing Gaz for a few hours with BloodyG, Ornhelm (who im really starting to like) Ristlin, Kilosmash, and Jhaeros.. and I was able to boost my augmentation levels SUPER fast! Everything is at 59 except for Armor (at 56).
Right now, I just learned that Kohan needs "Like Family" favor to unlock the next levels of Augmentation. So.. l'm going to make more crates or other furnities for him. Then, I'll work on the WOs and then I'll do back to wolves.
To do list:
Get 50+ Heartshrooms to barter for diamonds.
Make Nice storage boxes for Kohan favor
Start doing the Work orders
Get more gold for Huge Statue Work order
I'm about to give Kohan 37 more Nice Storage crates to get to "Like Family" funnily enough, I had the EXACT amount of cedar I needed for it (111) on hand.. what are the odds?
SO, Here's the final stretch! But need 120k more to buy everything!!! :D
Also, some good new is that I dont need to level the augmentations up to level 70 (except for Weapon) every other auge. only needs level 65 or under.
3/16/20
Right now I'm in Kur doing some of these motherlodes! I'm still planning to get to 70+ toolcrafting by way of Expert Knife recipe. I currently have 955 GM slabs. Still haven't done the work orders and therefore haven't made any head way on unlocking the extraction recipes from Kohan (but I did collect enough gold for the Huge statue recipe..) From the previous calculation, I need 2200 of then... so about 47% of the way there! The amount of motherlodes I need left will be around.
So, I gathered all the money I needed and more for Extraction levels. BUT, I just saw that exp cost... and it's pretty hefty.. like 51k per level. Since I'm stopping at level 65 for all of them, it's going to take 256k exp EACH. T_T.. (it never ends does it...?) SO, what I'll br doing now is going to FR to slowly farm the gear... 85 pieces each.. oh boy. (Actually, that'll be kinda fun :D..) but before that, I'm going to finish these motherlodes from Kur.
3/17/20
Well, I'm still continuing with Kur Motherlodes.
A little bit of drama happened... ya know.. as usual...
3/18/20
Early morning 1:25AM.. =_= did another all nighter.. (really enjoying this mini-vacation)
Something good to report though! I unlocked Chest and Ancillary 61-70! I also bought some of the augement recipes for jewelery! :'D..its all coming together!! total amount of the rest of the recipes is 54k.
Now, I just need 5 more levels in Armor and Ancillary-Armor and Weapon Augementation. But just 4 for Jewerly. 1 more good run in GK should take care of it!!
The good metal slabs are currently at 1859!
I have the remaining motherlode surveys in my inventory and they should take me to 70 Toolcrafting! 51-70 is going to cost 61k.
So, plan that out wisely ~_~!
Did some math for Phrenology. It takes 37,500 exp to get to level 50 for that skull kind. This is 1,875 Normal skulls. 750 Impressive Skulls, or 250 Astonishing skulls.
1 to 12 takes 2,340 exp. (117 skulls)
12 to 28 takes 9,840 exp.(197 Impress. skulls or 492 skulls)
28-50 takes 25,320 exp. (168 Aston. skulls or 506 Impress. skulls or 1,266 skulls)
idk if that breakdown was totally necessary but there ya go! don't ask me for it later! >:D.
So, time for sleep. But.. ill be back and finishing good slab collection in Kur later today.
(Please know that no resonable amount of money is worth sell your slabs for. Consider 1 to be worth 500c... that's how much you need them right now! @_@)
After you finish that:
>Start gathering money to get toolcrafting unlocks.
>Get the statue buffs.
>Begin making Expert knives.
>Use profit to that to unlock Mentalism.
OR
>Hold onto profit and figure out how you'll level other crafts.
Haven't began doing the surveys and therefore haven't done anything on the list YET xD.
But something interesting happened. Noobiforever dropped TONS of items and most of them were FULL STACKS of leathers or rolls or carded cotton.. etc.. So I got
398x Astouding Skins
199x Amazing Skins
398x Greats Skins
199x Decent Skins
199x Quality Skins
99x Carded Cotton
99x Cotton
99x Lemons
26x Vervadium
and ALOT more...!! Imagine how much time all of this would take to acquire... at least half a week of time! POOF! Automatically in my hands!
Besides this, I see that Buckle Artistry on PGwiki has updated some of the effects of the belts
The most interesting being:
Buckle of Hardy Combat 12: 96 Armor (could use this I go Hammer/Shield for the armor-damage mitigation mod)
Buckle of Slagging Blurs: -8 secs PoundtoSlag
Buckle of Healthy Hammering: 13: 10% to restore 65 hp and armor when using Hammer skills. (ill use this in my build)
Buckle of Flowing Hammering 13: ALL Hammer Abilities -5 secs. (might consider using this)
I've been doing a little bit of lamp lighting and snuffing in Serbule. Just a reminder that 5AM and 7PM are the times for lamp exp.
1 ingame hour passes every 5 minutes. [Confirmed]
BUT 5am-7pm is 14 hours or 60 mins.
and 7pm-5am is 10 hours or 60 mins.
Ok, with all that said and updated.. I'm going to start doing motherlodes in Kur!
Make sure you acquire your pumpkin and gold statue!
NOW, for something I've been needing to do:
B U I L D P L A N N I N G!~~
So, 80 Hammer, 80 Mentalism are the skills.
For the build, I'm not focusing on "Crit chance" since the odds are INCREDIBLY LOW.
Instead, I'll substitute that for more healing or buffs.
AAAAAANDDD after several weeks (of mostly procrastination) I FINALLY gathered 2200+ GOOD METAL SLABSSSSS!! YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEWWWW!!~~
Right, so now I need to get 2220 whetstone and start crafting :D. Here's the plan. I'm going to craft it all at Rahu, near Amutasa since she's the one that unlocks the levels!
I've already bought the gear I need to increase her favor to where I need it! (but ill buy more just in case)
I have the slabs, I have the councils, time to do this!
It's not turning out SUPER well.. I am level 65 but only have 637 metal slabs left.. D:
GO to SUNVALE immediately before the buff runs out! GL.
