Green Armor lamer, under new management
I got a tell from a fan of my stories. He told me that the arrogant bow-user in green armor was Chrismk. He also told me that the account had been sold. He was the new owner. After a short conversion I think I like this guy. So if you see Chrismk around he is a different person, in the true sense of the word. The person that use to run Chrismk made a lot of enemies. Please go by the current actions of Chrismk, not the old ones.
Does that mean one less lamer archer around? Probably not, I'm sure the old owner is building a new lamer archer so he can make more money.
Monty
I sure a few remember my wars with Monty. I was getting ready to retract a few things. He joined our alliance. (Killean) I resolved to stay out of his way. I kept reading stories. Monty helped us, thanks to Monty, etc. So I guess we just hit it off wrong.
Now the sad news, Monty was sold and the new owner is not very honest. He has been ripping people off. Is if you had good dealings in the past with Monty beware the new owner is not keeping the same with integrity.
Rescue in LOD
Lot of player wanted to read about my adventures in the Olthoi Vault. For a while I did not think I was going to make it. I had arranged to get a tie to a place close by. Unfortunately the person's tie was one that could not summon. (A tie of a tie.) So on the first day I went back to BDC.
As I hit the bottom I overheard a person say that his vassal had a few bodies in LOD. As I was LS tied close I asked if I could help. He thanked me and gave me the name of his vassal.
I ported out and start the run to LOD. I messaged him that I was on the way to help. He said that the Noble and a few others were camping the entrance. A 40lv had fallen trying to take it. Nice, just the type if action I needed!
I hit the portal but was disappointed. A few others had cleared out what had stayed at the entrance. The player got in, recovered one body and directed me to the other. On the way down I saw an orange dot where a Soldier spawns. I bypassed to check the Noble. No Noble but a Soldier was there. I can take a Soldier in 10 to 15 seconds now. Headed back up to get the other Soldier. Oops it's the Noble. One player was running and I headed the Noble off. A short sweet battle later I had a few items and a head.
I got a message saying he had got all his bodies. I asked him to meet me at the exit. There I gave him the head and thanked him for the good time. He told me that most high levels are not this nice. It confuses me; all the high-level I knew were as nice or nicer than I am. Guess he was only meeting the lamers. Of course mostly lamer high-levels would camp a beginner Olthoi place like LOD.
I headed back to BDC. It was not as full as I thought it might be. More bow-users than normal but not packed. There I met up with Laz Locust. Laz is a kid. He stole from a vassal of mine and likes to demand favors from people.
I was going up the ramp to the flat spot. I needed to recharge my weapon. I saw an Archer I know running, Noble on his tail. He is someone who will not leach but that means he will lose a few. He lost this one and fell at my feet.
I put my wand away and got out my weapon to kill the Noble. In the excitement I forgot my shield. I was not hitting well with a dead weapon and the Noble was hitting nicely on my shield less and Defender V less body. It fell and I tried to loot. What the hell I did not have rights. Laz Locust run up and starts looting, he had been back shooting it.
Laz Locust is a 32lv bow-user. Later we were waiting on the ramp Noble and he started showing off the loot he got on the Noble. I told him I had no interest in seeing the unearned loot of a thief, and left. The fighter next to me commented on his lame actions as well.
I got a message asking why I did not like him. Duaa he stole from a vassal, he is a thief and a leach. He asked me how he could make it up to my vassal. Humm well that is a start I told him.
I told him to contact Sidhartha and beg forgiveness and make restitution. After that we will see.
A short time later I got a message from him begging my help. He had a few bodies and could not find them. I told him I help everybody regardless. I powered up and headed back.
By the time I got there he had found the bodies. I started to hunt. I hit the pit as the Noble spawns. Laz Locust was taking some nice safe shots into it from above the pit. I jumped into the pit and ran up the cave, taking the Noble away from him. As there were Soldiers in the pit he could not chase. After I killed the Noble I expected him to berate me about it. Instead he called me smart. Humm almost human.
Next we ran up the ramp after the other Noble. This time I had my weapon charged and I got the looting right. Laz did his typical "Dammit" when he did not get rights. Let me see, I'm 55lv, he is 32. I have almost 90 million in experience, he has almost 9 million. And he is mad that he cannot get a kill over me! I asked him why he would insult me by acting like it was wrong when he did not get the win over me. He said because he gets kills over 55lv mace and axe users all the time. The bad part is he is right.
I decided then I was going to get out of BDC and away from leaching bow-users. When I ported out I got a message from Laz. "Could I have the Sword II gloves you found?" Sheesss
Going over the loot I found some nice items. Armor VI pants diff 189 Aluvian and a piercing V hat. I headed over to the Lin Hall where our clan hangs out. I found Cat sitting with her soon to be husband. (We got the announcement later.) I asked her what her lore was. It was high enough so I gave her the stuff.
You may ask why I did not trade them. Well about half the items I use are gifts from family members. I was just passing on the favors.
Return to the Vault day 1
It took a bit but I found someone who could summon a portal to a place close to the vault. I got a message from Sidhartha asking me to help out Po as he was on his way there too. It is a nice portal as it is inside temple, not outside of it. This means I can have time to take off my buffing items and put on combat items before making the run.
The run to the vault is a real mess, a sea of orange dots chasing you. I mostly have 1 or 2 debuffing spells on me by the time I make it. This time I had a -20 melee defense spell, not cool.
As I hit the vault I find the lag, while bad was not unplayable. A lot of players were there. My plan is to stay on the first two levels until I learn my way around. It is a confusing place to play.
I started my first battle and heard someone draining what I was fighting. Went to loot, no rights, drainer got it. Head to next battle, drainer. Next battle, drainer again. Who is this guy and where is he? I don't see anyone around. I move up to the top level. There the drainer is, a 27lv.
What is a 27lv doing here? Draining Olthoi in complete safety of course. That is until one runs up. Rare that one makes it up with so may there but finally one did, dead drainer.
So I head down the ramp and face 4 soldiers. A bow-user named Morbid Angel comes up after I have one half dead and starts shooting it. Now at least he could to is leach off the one I'm not fighting. That one falls I go to the next one, he starts shooting at the one I'm hitting. Same thing all the way down.
As I the last one falls I go to loot the first one. He is looting it. I check the kill "Fist de Yuma". I go to the next one, he is looting it. As I try each one, he has beat me to them all. I check his level. He is 30lv. There is no way a 30lv belongs here.
A Soldiers runs up and attacks Morbid Angel. I'm not going to leach his fight. He dies. This lamer can leach and loot all my kills but cannot fight a single Soldier!
He soon returns. I start fighting a soldier and he starts shooting. I ask him to please not leach my battles. He said if I did not like it I could leave. WHAT! I can fight seven to nine Soldiers, he cannot fight one, not one and I should leave!
If the fighters left who would he leach off of. He then starts to follow me around and leach off every one of my battles. After one battle he is run off when a soldier targets him. He would not fight after losing his one try. He runs back and starts to yell at me for looting his kill.
The facts were that he had been looting my kills all day and it was my kill I was looting. I told Morbid Angel to leave me alone or he a lot of people would find out how lame he is. I got a bunch of crap and when I tried to respond he has squelched me. I tried to message his monarch Zargon. He was not on.
He then keeps sending me crap. I ask AIM to tell him to leave me alone. The response was a violation of the COC.
I got tired of his crap and ported out. I came to the vault to get away from lamer leaching bow-users. He really ruined my day.
Vault day 2 part 1
I hit the vault determined to go deeper where the lamers could not follow. I was in some good battles. I followed some players that seemed to know where to go. I came to a big room in the middle of a battle. We fought them off. I rested and the others moved on.
A soldier spawns and I fight him. I try to loot it and two more attack me. I got one and two more show up. This keeps going until I'm feeling a little trapped. I kill one and run over his body and head to the tunnel.
I try to run into the tunnel but with lag I find myself running up the side instead. I kill one and try again, up the side again. Kill one more, run, back up the side. So now I decided to head to the other tunnel. This one I make, turn and face about 8, but all in front.
After a few swings I heard the spawning sound and two more are on my left my side. I hit the stam bottle and feel I can still take them. On the screen I see a blot of orange a little off and down the tunnel. I'm hoping they stay where they are. No such luck.
I kill one or two when I see I'm being attacked from the rear. I look at the radar screen and cannot believe my eyes. There is a blot of orange at least one half inch across with my little white dot in the middle. Now fighting my way out is not an option. Hell they are three deep. I hit the heal bottle twice to have enough hit points, pull my wand and port out. As I had over 150 hit points when I pulled my wand and 55 when I hit the Lifestone, it was a close thing.
I would guess my total time in the Vault was 20 minutes. Made about 300k in points. Had little loot because I was attacked every time I tried to loot one.
At the LS were a few friends. Told them the story and waited for my shaking to stop. Yes, I really get into this. After I calmed down I went over to sell off the few gems I had picked up.
There I found a mage named Quren. He is a new player of a vassal I have. He wanted to swear to me but at 9lv I felt he need someone he could hunt with. He swore to my archer Cliff Bowman. I know that mages need to buy a lot of comps. I dumped the money I had from the gems on him and a self IV item I had found.
I logged Fist back in and a mage ran up to me. He said he was a vassal of a player I had helped that day. He thought his patron was going to swear to me. LOL I spent a lot of time with no vassals now I was getting one every few days. It was the first I heard of it so I will see.
Vault day 2 part 2
I ported back to the vault and headed back deeper. Met up with someone who was going after bodies. We pushed on to the bridges. On the other side was a carpet of bodies. Must have been a hard battle.
A mage and two xbow men were pushing on. As the bodies were clear I went with them. We found more bodies and the xbow men recovered them. The mage, Deathdragon I think his name was, keep going deeper so I followed. I was in a battle and lost track of the mage.
I was lost but not in trouble. I kept fighting Soldiers trying to find a clear space. I would need to recharge my weapon soon. Deathdragon ran into where I was with 4 Soldiers on his tail. He turned to face them. I picked one I knew he was not working on.
I know from reading that mages can drain the health of the one he is fighting to say alive. If some ignorant melee hits it down first he has nothing to drain. So I was making sure I did not mess him up.
After the four fell my weapon spells died. He ran back into the big cave and I grab my wand. Only takes me 20 seconds to charge my weapon but they did not give it to me. Three more Soldiers ran up. Rather than fight with a dead weapon I ported.
Again total time was about 20 minutes. Made about 200k and no loot. Very intense, very fun. Cannot wait until next time.
Only problem is without help there is never time to recharge my weapon. The top section has time to recharge but then you have the low-level lamer leaches to contend with. I'm really looking forward to the 50lv-restricted dungeon. It is a rumor but I'm really hoping it is true.
Newbies
After that I decided to take it easy and play my newbies. Cliff Bowman (Thistledown) had not been played in a while. He is 13lv. I logged in and found I had parked him in Hebian-to.
I decided to check out the west section and then run the beach to Tou-Tou. In a good spawn spot I saw two Visous Slouths (I know bad spelling) and a Blood. A little off to the side were three Reedsharks. I shot the Visous and ran, not wanting to fight all three at once.
I returned and shot the same one. Of course now only he came. He got up to me but I killed it before it could get a hit. Decided to take out the Blood next. I shot it and it took off at me. It got in front of me and a bow-user shoots it.
I set up for the Visous and the bow-users is waiting for me to take the shot so he can leach. Well Cliff Bowman is not Fist de Yuma, he is meaner. He shoots a veteran Reedshark and turns and runs. The bow-user is standing there waiting for the Visous to run after me.
I break contact with the three Reedsharks and they target him. Run bow-user, run. I head south and then west so I'm not in the path of the Reedsharks when they return. I shot the Visous and it changes. Bow-user returns and is waiting for it to stop in front of me. Reedsharks return. Run bow-user, run.
Then I headed up the beach to Tou-Tou. I will not go into the boring details but I learned a few things about my 13lv archer. He cannot fight three Raider Bandlerings at once. (Death 1) He cannot fight a Shadow child. (Someone else killed it.) When fighting a Water golem and Shadows Shark, two Shadows sharks spawning within a few feet is guaranteed death. (Death 2)
When I have vit things can hit me that cannot hit me when I have no vit.
Sometimes I'm very lucky. (Ran away with 1hp, twice.)
Lastly, I need to work on my run skill.
Good hunting.
