the journal of the gun shooty punch pirate

hi there, i'm an islander by the name of mase and i have decided to take some steps offland for the first time in a while. i will be a permapirate. i'm already level 40 but i guess it's never too late to start documenting. thanks wout for the encouragement

​

the permapirate build i'm going with is inspired by another odd job i tried out previously, a bullet bucc, which is a challenge in which the user will wield a gun instead of a knuckle. i will be wielding a gun, which allows me to use Sommersault Kick and Double Shot interchangeably in combat. while most permapirates may lean more towards either knuckle-wielding or gun-wielding, i've decided to play into the inherent versatility of the permapirate and be both a melee and a ranged player. my friend wout has also started a permapirate, so we'll be playing together.

 

here are my stats at the moment, i'm going str and dex, with a lean towards strength due to melee damage being low with a gun. i'm also doing a light wash. looking forward to growing!

training gear ^

int gear ^

 

i've spent most my time card hunting, i'm nearing tier 1

 

tier 1 is a go

i reached level 43 and was gifted a maple weapon

and a scroll

...and boom


ty wout for the pre scrolled one <3

 

wouter and i sucessfully conquered ariant and i have reached 36 sets in my book.



ratty stands in the beating sun of the great ariant desert [not pictured- wouty]

 

nice collection, i'm jealous

 

it did haha, thanks
maple is my favorite dressup game

 

dear diary, today i did some quests and discovered a quest item by the name of fresh milk; which looks like
the uncanny resemblance to a white potion establishes an assumption that white potions are milk. which is, and i don't mean to be dramatic, life-ruining information.



i have farmed 40 card sets and accidentally leveled up twice in the process without equipping my int gear.


in better news, i've obtained the ellin savior's ring. i struggled.


my current goal is to get the glittering altaire earrings from epq.

 

i received a donation of several mighty bullets from a guildie, so i took a break from trying to find a party for epq because i got excited to hit level 50. i still want those earrings tho.



couple runs of epq later, and yay i'm level 50 and i finally get to equip these goodies


i've also gotten the altaire earrings, just 25 more runs to go!


a quick thank-you to santa for this cutie right here, a great placeholder until i get my zhelm. speaking of which, that is my next goal in between getting glittering altaire earrings.


current card sets: 42

 

unfortunately, not much progress today. my covidcation ended

i did 8 runs of epq before i got burnt out. i reached level 52 and i have obtained 3 boss cards

i went to el nath to do my zakum prequests but these mfers damage me for almost all my hp so i gave up because i'm tired


thanks for tuning in, hopefully i'll get some more progress soon; work saps most of my motivation

 

ur right, first job skills are still usable no matter what path you decide to advance to. i'm sure there are corsairs who utilize flash fist. i'm staying a pirate because i think it's kinda neat

 

lots and lots of epq later

level 55 and fuck yes.....earrings. i failed the first scroll but i'm still holding out for +10 dex


wouter doored us tyvm



oh hey that wasn't so ba-



and finally....stage 1 done


after gouging my eyes out with a power drill i have obtained...

....eye of fire (5)


thanks wout for sitting at the end and waiting for me to finish, u a real one

i will be getting a zhelm tomorrow

 

update on my earrings...i did not get lucky. time marches on

not much else to report for today. i got a zhelm. i plan on scrolling it whenever gacha plans on giving me a win

beat up some of nemo's cousins [insert joke about them being called krappy's]

and that's about it. card sets: 43

 

did a lot of card hunting today, i've gotten 51 sets! i wanted to get to tier 2, but i got tired.

wout and i spent a long time at master chronos grinding for helm dex 60's

we got 4 of them, and i passed 2 on my zhelm


while grinding together, wout and i compared our stats. here is my very professional testing

here's my stats vs his. he's gone with a lean towards dex, and i've gone for str.

here's some of my damage testing:

me:

ranged

melee

wouter:

ranged

melee

i'm interested to see how we progress, especially because i'm a bit higher level than him right now

 

i forgot to take screenshots of all the things i got up to today, but believe me it feels like i did a lot
wouter and i card hunted for a while, quested, hunted...

we did a lot of travelling around

and some ppq

i got level 60! i'm plugging for 70 right now so i put a small stop on my card hunt, but i definitely plan on reaching tier 2 next time i'm on. i have 55 sets

 

i started with a bang today and reached tier 2!

wout and i found one of those fun trap ropes while card hunting


we did a few runs of opq

and some ppq these alligators make me want to job advance just so i can fuck them up


while travelling around, i've collected these bad boys. gonna propose to wouty (don't tell him). he better say yes because i already told my mom about us


i threw some random scrolls on a random cape and made this

which i am now using

i've done 16 washes in total, and i have 2186hp. i just gotta keep saving for those resets. i'm level 62 and my current goal is to get 70 before event end.
