75 TOOLCRAFTING ACCOMPLISHED!
It was a hard fought battle...but we OVERCAME!
There we're some thing I didn't put into the equation:
1. Exp DECREASES as you level up a craft skill
2. Very few NPCs buy tool items
BUT even tho, I SAYYY...
A very great job. Good job indeed. Omedatou, Omedatou, OMEDATOU!! *~^.^~*
Slabs are depleted. Money is down to 24k... so what else to do but START another craft?! LOL.
Oh wait, I still haven't received enough exp for the extract recipes... and now, I'm down like 32k.
Well.. I'll just level it as I can. I'm not in dire need of them!
I think the next step for me isss.... go back to my previous crating calculations and see what I can realistically accomplish. I think i'll do leatherworking.
Right, now -- not including the bonus, I am at level 41 Leatherworking.
Leatherworking exp needed for 70: 292,260.
There is a 20% depreciation in exp after a certain level.
So.. let's call this exp calculation the "buffer exp". 20% of 292,260 is [58,452]. Since I know that I won't be depreciated from the start.. I'll divide this by 1/3. This gives 19,484. This is pure, unaffected exp that I will need in order to account of the depreciation. I'm doing only 1/3 because the depreciation comes into affect only after you've increased in your levels.
with 15% crafting bonus [43,839] and factoring in 20% depreciation [19,484] of exp... = [267,905] is the total amount needed.
If I'm doing the level 50 Leathering recipe "Quality Leather boots - Enchanted"
I'll need:
4,020 Quality Animal skins
2,680 Leather strips (893 Decent Leather rolls)
2,682 Rubywall crystals
So.. yeahh.. that's a crap load of material and it's making my eyes hurt @_@.. at this point, I can either struggle through it... or find something else to do. The only constructive things I can do are getting council for 71-80 Ment.. Or choosing another skill to work on.
This might be my wall. I only have plans to level up Mentalism and the crafts. The quintisenntial point for playing PG for me, is to get my damage output as high as it could go. The things blocking me from that goal are unleveled crafting skills and councils.
So.. at this point the most logical thing to do is start a MASSIVE grind for councils by doing surveys. Coglin said he makes 2.5mil per week from mostly gem surveys... so I should start doing it right now. If all the money I need is going to come from there, then I should be doing it non-stop -- right? Yes, I think that makes sense.
Yea... but right now.. even with all of that considered, I'm still cognizant of the fact that all this game really leads a player up to is getting maxed gear, which can only happen when you have maxed crafts, which can only happen when you've gotten strong enough or wealthy enough.
So, essentially.. the beginning was just a waste of time, might as well have made everyone level 30s like with the fairy race instead of literally leaving us up the creek without a paddle.
So.. to close, I'll break taking a break from PG... perhaps only 1 day, perhaps only a month...
BUT. If I do come back, I want to emphasize something:
If you want to play this game to the place YOU want. You will NEED to grind.. and there is no escaping that fact. You will either grind for the materials or grind for the gold...but,
YOU WILL GRIND. and you'll have to accept have if you wish to move forward. And in case you've forgotten.. the reason you stopped playing was because you realized that the things you desire from PG are very few and you also realized that once you achieve them, the game has no real depth to it. It's a massive grind to a bunch of crafts/skills and options. Nothing else.
Continue? Y/N

Y.
And here I am! SO, very good things happened today! Firstly.. Weapon Augementation reached level 70!!! Jewerly reached level 65!!!
I'm now able to augement/extract ANY weapon, off hand, and any ring or necklace! I didn't finish getting Ancillary and Armor to 65, but thats SOON coming.
Ancillary = 63!
Armor = 62!
So, I can essentially do ANY 61-90 gear except for Legs and Shoes!
Besides, that... I GOT EXTREMELY LUCKY in GK. Like 10+ yellows... crazy. I finally recieved Zulemax's ring that gives a 10% chance to avoid slows, stuns, and knockbacks! Very cool!
Oh, and about the surveys.. I actually acted on it! I bought 50 of each required Eltibule hills parchments and some basic ink and began to start my gem grind. Howwwever.. I did about 3 or 4 and stopped.. it was just TOO boring @_@
So, at this point, I guess I've decided to do it the hard way. And tbh, I like it this way. I'm sure many people in this game feel the same, but I very much like to do things that I feel are productive for the advancement of my character... and to me, being a slave to surveys doesn't do that. Will to do BOOKOO surveys later? Likely so! But, just like in Kur, every motherlode I did felt worth it. Even though I didn't know where they were exactly, even though I died to frost bite several times... it was just worth it because I knew what the end come would be. Yes, it was annoying.. but it was FUN too!
So now... I'm thinking about unlocking 80 Ment.. just so I can finally HAVE it. If I don't decide to do that, then I'm just going to be fiddling around with augments, trying to get the right ones.

Great job.. this took quite a while... but my dream has been partially realized :)!

Get Mentalism 80
3/23/20
Defenestration.co/pg/surveying/
Literally... WTF. This has been ALOT of peoples method of collecting gems and minerals and motherlodes. This is the part that "HE" wouldn't tell me. He gets his gems at that speed because he uses a FREAKIN' TOOL. Can't believe this.
(Well, live and learn.. read the forums I guess)
Doing surveys, need to get some peening hammers and stuff from Amutasa
Need 20 Masterwork
20 Experts
10 grass
3/24/20
Alrighty, so I've turned in several WO's.. did the daily... bought 61-70 Carpentry, 51-60 Industry...
for right now, I really want to start on gathering all the Quality leather I'll need.. So I'm going to Kur
3/25/20
Alright! So, I'm still collecting skins for 70 Leatherworking. I currently haaaave: 1668!
So just about 2350 more.
I wanted to mention something... it feel like Hammer has alot of drawbacks too it. It's melee combat so you have to be within 5 meters, all the damage is crushing or electricity. MANY mobs resist crushing at higher levels... even the Orcs I'm fighting in Kur resist it.. (I think the panthers too!
So... after I get to 70+ Leatherworking, I'm going to focus on leveling up other skills.
Skills I KNOW I want to do:
Battle Chemistry
Animal Handling
Staff
Skills I dont mind doing:
Archery
Mentalism
Shield
Skills I will NOT do:
(all animal skills)
(all magic skills)
For Kur skin gathering, I did 183 in an hour. Let's test and repeat!
2nd hour was.... 18....4!! 184! That's awesome. It was actually the exact same! So.. I'll test it one more time and see how much I get!
If it's accurate again, then it's an established Quality skin gather rate per hour! :)
I now have 2250. I'm doing to give all these Orc skulls to Kelim and then I'll take a break from gathering skins =_=... 1750 left!
2500+ now. 1500- left. I'd like to acquire Chopjaw... he'd do great in Kur.
Right now I''m in Illmari doing some War Caches.
I've done 6 so far and I haven't yet recieved the one for Chopjaw, which is D-1.
Now, for the Quality skin count... we're at... 2723!
1,277 more! That won't take very long at all.
I should start thinking about how I'm going to get all the extra material for the recipe.
Here's everything I need again:
4,020 Quality Animal skins
2,680 Leather strips (893 Decent Leather rolls)
2,682 Rubywall crystals
For the Rubywalls, I think it'll only take somewhere south of 1,500.. i know rubywall surveys don't always give out x2 rubywalls. If it actually does, then I'll adjust. VERY glad I found out about defenestration.co/pg/suverying.. without it, the amount of time it would have taken me to do this would be at least TRIPLED.
The 893 decent skins will cost around 54k if I don't gather them. I'll do 2 hours of wolves in Kur to offset the cost.. (if I feel like it)
My current combat levels:
73 AH (maxed until 80s)
58 Archery
63 Bard
74 BC (maxed until 80s)
72 Druid (maxed until 80s)
45 Fire Magic
85 Hammer (MAXED. who woulda guessed?)
27 Ice Magic
17 Knife Fighting
73 Mentalism (maxed until 80s)
71 Necromancy (maxed until 80s)
32 Priest
36 Psych
65 Shield
65 Staff
24 Sword (lol.. I didn't even touch it)
34 Unarmed
Crafting levels:
47 Leatherworking
27 Tailoring
59 Blacksmithing
75 Toolcrafting (maxed until 80s. surprised? :] )
Other notable levels:
9 Cheesemaking
26 Civic Pride
32 Cooking
70 Endurance
63 Gardening (maxed until 70s)
63 Surveying (maxed until 70s)
Good job us! Any exp not listed wasn't important enough to be notable :}
I need 266 Dirt for Kelim for 61-70 Gardening. Costs 43k..soo.. just do it when you can.
3/27/20
SO, I wasn't able to get Chopjaw. Even after 14+ War Caches. I only persisted in doing the caches, because I felt that I needed to make the time that I spent worth while. This was a completely UNNECESSARY distraction that would've only helped in VERY MINUTE WAYS.
FINISH GETTING THE 4,000 SKINS, AND DON'T DO ANY DAILIES, DON'T DO ANY DUNEGONS, DON'T CRAFT ANYTHING..
J U S T F I N I S H.
(im mad if you cant tell)
So, I have 1,235 Skins to go.. a very easy amount of about less than 800 Panthers. Extremely doable within 7 hours. So just start grinding.
Also, the cost of the Quality tannin will be 50k.
The cost of the mats for the rubywall surveys will cost under 40k.
The cost for the 893 Decent skins (if not gathered from wolves) is 54k.
So, at the very least, have 145k available to gather the materials.
AS of 8:23pm on March 27th, 2020.. I have completed gathering... 4,000 QUALITY SKINS!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAH!
Great job, great efforts, f*ck Chopjaw. You did it!
Proud of you!! :)) Now, let's gather 20 more and get the HELL out of KUR!
893 Decent Skins acquired.
All that's left is the 2.6k Rubywalls ;_;
I've cleared my inventory as best as possible and I'm going to gather the mats for the Serbule rubywall surveys!
I'm in Wolf Cave completing the daily. Don't forget to complete and turn it in! You can still get the completion! Besides that, con
3/29/20
Alright! I've been doing the surveys already and I can give the current total of Rubywalls... which is attt... 552!!! Reminder: the amount required is 2,682. 2,130 left! oh, also! I forgot something! ANY gem can be used in crafting the armor! So, I am also going to use the extra gems I am getting from the surveys! I'd estimate that I have... around 120 gems! With that, the cost is reduced to 2,010! So, realistically, I'll need about 1/3 of these in surveys.. 600+ should be enough.
4/1/20
So... I deleted my account.. and I'm never coming back to PG. Bye.
~_~ April Fools. huehuehue.. I gotcha, huh?
So, it's been a few days... I've been really tired during the past week.. alotta extra stress caused by the fakerona virus at my job.. but, hey.. I'm not here to talk about that! Let's begin an update!
So! I currently have 1210 Rubywalls! Which means I only have 1,472 left to collect! However, if I add the gems I've collected, which are 559, I only have 913 more redwalls/gems to collect!
After I'm done, I'll gather all the skins, make quality rolls, use decents for strips, and gather the rubywalls.
Just did the math for how long this will take... it'll be about 111 minutes... almost 2 hours just to craft items~ lmao.
This time, I'll REALLY want to sell the items... cuz I'm going to be make 1,333 of a level 50 item.. and that is pretty much guaranteed to be over 300 for most of the items... so I think the place I'll craft them is going to be in the Casino, next to Evelin? Hmm.. maybe.
4/2/20
Ok. Still gathering gems.. I'm really making this take longer than needed >_>
A few hours later and I currently have 2208 redwalls/gems! I need 400+ more :S
A few more hours later and I finished collected ALL the gems I needed!!!
I got Leatherworking from 48 to 53 and bought the Quality Leather recipes from Kleave!
I did a ton of Quality shoes and advanced my level to 68!!! Getting to 70 will be easy as pie, but the real goal is getting past 75, to ensure I can make any non 80 level item.
So, I have 1 pumpkin and dragon statue left... I currently have the dragon buff for 55 more minutes... so I'll need to make use of it as soon as I start again.
Just keep going! Idk what exp this will take me too, but i have 1,055 more times that I can craft the Quality Leather shoes.. which equates to 206k exp at the current depreciated exp amount of 206. I think I'll be able to reach 77! The exp is on it's 1st stage of depreciation.. from 229 to 206 -- this was a 10% depreciation.
At a 20% rate of depreciation, the least it can go to is 160exp which might still give me 184exp with the statues.. Regardless, the max amount of exp I need for 68-77 is 165k exp. I should have more than enough to make it there. Finishing up and getting 80 will take 63k more exp.. but meh, decide if you want to bother with that.
SO, when you come on again:
1. Put down the pumpkin statue.
2. Start crafting again.
(dragon statue buff has 24 mins left, right now
DO NOT WASTE THE ITEMS.
PHLOG THEM ALL. You make money gathering phlog versus dropping the boots.
4/3/20
Alllrighttt! I'm continuing with my Leathermaking and I'm glad to report that I passed level 70!!! WAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!
I'm currently at 72! Also, I kinda figured out how bonus levels work when deciding the exp amount... essentially, just minus the current bonus level by 1 and thats that current level of your skill!
So, my plan is to get to level 75 Leatherworking.
Which is very doable even with the new depreciation of 185exp X_X... I still stand to make about 70k exp with 375 recipe usages left.
Alright, at the moment I ran out of crystals and I need 39k more exp to get to 75.
That's 215 more recipes, so 430 more crystals.
Now, if I want to push it to 77... then I would need
78.4k exp which is SSSCCRRRRRR
New plan: Acquire the level 63 Recipe "Great Leather Gloves (Enchanted)" from Sirine. This exp is 252 per. with 15% extra its 289.
-198 recipes or 397 Great skins. for 67 1/2 to 70
-80 recipes (at 260exp) or 160 Great skins for 71(77)
Total Great skins needed: 558-309 = 250 more
Total Quality skins needed: 558 (done)
Total Crystals needed: 558-347= 211 more
SO! I bought the recipe without any difficulty! Raised Sirine's favor to Like Family too!
Now, I'll gather some Great skins. (199x costs 48k >_>) and 558 more crystals.
I'll start with the crystals. Redwalls, HOOOO
4/4/20
So, I collected the Great Skins at a STEAL of a price. The player vendor sold for it's actual price! no more or less *_*. And as for the rubywalls, I actually had 297 laying in Ashk's storage... aaand I remembered that I had some in my player shop and that was 50! So, 347 rubywalls collected! I just need 211 more! EEEZ.
4/5/20
A slight mistake ;) I actually needed 66,700 exp instead of 78,400.. I didn't add the 15% exp statues!
66,700/289 = 230 recipes.
To do list:
Tame Chopjaw
Tame Grottofang
Tame Fire rat
Tame a blood hunter, bee
Tame a big cat in Gaz
AAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnnDDD...
77 Leatherworking is C O M P L E T E D
WAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!~~
Another G R R E AT job! Great hustle! Very proud of you! Now, let's go get Chopjaw!
4/6/20
As luck would have it, the first War Cache I got was for D-1!!!! Wow! and after a few minutes, Chopjaw has been successfully captured!!!! :3 :3
The name? That's easy. "Marimo"
Chopjaw's respawn after only 5 minutes.. so....
I caught another!! And this ones name will beee.... "Magate" for "moss agate" the skill that levels up my best skill, Hammer. ok.. that sounds weird.. lets just do "Moss"
So, now... I'm going to save up money for 80 Animal Handling! I have several work order that I needed to get around to, so I'll have the councils in no time.
Ok, so I got my funds up to 220k. I likely need over 350k, plus 19k. So, hopefully some items sold on the stalls. Otherwise, I'll look for more work orders, or sell my phlog, or go kill mobs in FR for skins and quality phlog.
4/7/20
Fae realm item/skin hunting won't work out... I need to just sell stuff or stick to work orders.
6/7/20
Two months later and I'm finally back.
I was banned by the asshole himself -- Jackencola.
Glad to be back, but I think I'll forever dislike the admins now. No redeeming whatsoever for doing this to me and many other players.
SO! Where I last left off, I was trying to gather enough money for level 80 AH unlock. AND while I DO want to do that. I think ill just start another character. I'm not where I totally want to be for Mr7, but I'd still like to try leveling up another.
So, 911. I'm comin for ya.
Actually. Nevermind. I just came back from the ban... so I want to go around with Mr7.
I did a daily. And even won in the arena! :)
Now, I'll go to FR and unlock AH 80.
6/8/20
80 AH has been unlocked[[User:MrSeven|MrSeven]] ([[User talk:MrSeven|talk]])!!!!
Now, to grind it out! My current level is 73... imagine all the wasted exp... ;-;...
So, before I start hardcore leveling, I want to level up nature appreciation so that I can make Bee-Lover's Bouquet!
6/9/20
Nature Appreciation is currently at 27.
Flower Arrangement is at level 12.
I need it at 60 to make the bee-lovers bouquet.
For it, I need 168,460 exp. with the 15% exp statues, it's 143,191 exp.
To level this, we'll do the bouquet recipes.
Violet (lvl 13) to dahlia (lvl 20)
daisy (lvl 27) to pansy (lvl 32)
marigold (lvl 38) to wolfsbane (lvl 40)
to poppy (lvl 43).
V - D = 4660 exp 179 violets needed
D - P = 8920 exp 223 dahlias needed
P-M = 14,450 exp 227 pansies needed
M - W = 7500 exp 117 marigolds needed
W - P = 9630 exp 120 wolfsbane needed
(The next is red rose. but we'll see how it goes. Likely, I'll just do more of the previous recipes)
6/11/20
Ok, I'm going to do some recalculations on the Flower Arrange. exp I need.. ( I was really sleepy =_=)
SO!
Violet to Dahlia is 4,660 exp (104 exp) 180*
Dahlia to Daisy is 8,330 exp (160 exp) 209*
Daisy to Pansy is 8,920 exp (216 exp) 166*
Pansy to Marigold is 14,540 exp (256 exp) 228*
Marigold to Wolfsbane is 7,500exp (304 exp) 99*
Wolfsbane to Poppy is 12,130exp (320 exp) 152*
= 56,080 exp Poppy is 344 exp.
*= number of flowers needed.
I should be at level 43 at the end of this with only 87,111 exp remaining.
I'll powerlevel to 60 with poppies, which will require 1015 poppies.
If I use wolfbane instead, it's 1,090 needed.
If I use marigolds, it's 1,146 needed.
6/11/20
I underestimated how fast time moves. In less than 2 months, it will have already been a year since I "pledged" to learn how to code.
I know that it isn't games that are the problem.. it's me. I choose to fall short on things like this because mentally, I'm already making preparations for my failure.
If I committed to coding for TEN MONTHS, who knows where I would be....
Please... please... until 1 YEAR passes... do not come back. If you make it a full year, (barring the rapture) then GO ON AMAZON RIGHT NOW AND BUY ANYTHING YOU WANT. CUZ YOU DID IT. so..... yeah...
Here.

Great job. You really did a great job. You make me proud... bakayaro! ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ) <-- copy n paste
10/21/20
AAAAANDDDD I'm back! (for however long that may be...) and I'm just going to carry on with what I've been doing... which appears to have been leveling my Flowering Arrangement...?
I'll just review the previous notes and continue off of that!
