Leisure Journey of Refinements

Currently, only after passing 3xWS10 on a 117wa would provide an upgrade, then it will be cheaper than a cape or gloves upgrade per wa afterwards. So there's still an estimated expected upfront cost of 4k coins, including the 1k coins I'll be spending if the TL Pescas succeeds for my case.

I read through Soblet’s journal and realized how cruel leveling Timeless weapons can be, and I also remember Nightz suggesting going for TL in Discord, which I later added a few into my scrolling batch when I saw some 105-106wa selling at 20-40 mil each last week. Leveling them turned out to be rather fun, but they are very limited and expensive because there is no chance to recover costs.

 

Level 3:





Level 4:





Stats Gained: Timeless Pescas
Level 1: 0/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 2: 0/1 Str, 2/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 3: 1/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 4: 0/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 0/2 wa
Level 5: -

RIP.

 

Will grind the last level for science before deciding the scrolls. Definitely need at least 2x30% passes to reach 130+wa.

Bedtime.

 

Level 5:



Stats Gained: Timeless Pescas
Level 1: 0/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 2: 0/1 Str, 2/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 3: 1/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 1/2 wa
Level 4: 0/1 Str, 1/2 Luk, 0/2 wa
Level 5: 1/1 Str, 2/2 Luk, 0/2 wa



Final stats before it was destroyed:



A snippet of what I had streamed to Fayden.



Once again, thank you, Fayden, for taking up my offer and allowing me to have an exciting experience.

 

Already on a cruise. Can’t grind anything now. A pity I can't farm those 30mil/hr monkey dolls.

 

I wish I knew how to get rich quick too... you should know better than me… gift a TL Pescas… as a treat?

 

I took the screenshots with my phone, so the resolution will be pretty huge. I will adjust it once I’m back from my vacation.

UPDATE: image size adjusted.

As an appreciation, Fayden gets a complimentary 25 coins bet if I successfully buy the dagger.

 

The responses have been overwhelming, and the bet quotas are full for now. Didn't expect this journal to go into a gambling arc, but here we are.



My current offer for the dagger is 200 p-coins, and these are the current payouts based on the level-up results:

126wa (+0) - 0 p-coins (0x)
127wa (+1) - 0 p-coins (0x)
128wa (+2) - 0 p-coins (0x)
129wa (+3) - 80 p-coins (0.4x)
130wa (+4) - 220 p-coins (1.1x)
131wa (+5) - 280 p-coins (1.4x)
132wa (+6) - 360 p-coins (1.8x)
133wa (+7) - 480 p-coins (2.4x)
134-136wa (8+) - 640 p-coins (3.2x)

 

There was another offer of 225 coins, so I've increased my offer to 250 coins, and here's the new total payout:

126wa (+0) - 0 p-coins (0x)
127wa (+1) - 0 p-coins (0x)
128wa (+2) - 0 p-coins (0x)
129wa (+3) - 100 p-coins (0.4x)
130wa (+4) - 300 p-coins (1.1x -> 1.2x)
131wa (+5) - 350 p-coins (1.4x)
132wa (+6) - 450 p-coins (1.8x)
133wa (+7) - 600 p-coins (2.4x)
134-136wa (8+) - 800 p-coins (3.2x)

I've increased the multiplier for +4wa from 1.1x to 1.2x so the result will be a whole number.

Current potential investors for the purchase:

Fayden (IGN): 25 p-coins (paid)
sandpickle (Discord): 150 p-coins
clam (Discord): 25 p-coins
ThirtyBirds (Discord): 15 p-coins
AMZN (Discord): 35 p-coins

Total: 250/250 p-coins​

Not guaranteed that I'll be able to buy the dagger, so don't get too excited yet.

I'm looking at hopefully a final result of at least 131wa for a proper upgrade, which would then conclude my dagger upgrade for now. If I get a 129wa or below, I'll consider CSS-ing it. If I get a 130wa, I might sell my current 129wa Kanzir and decide what to do next, probably move on to a cape upgrade before coming back to the dagger again.

 

While waiting for the dagger bid result, I decided to do some filler content.





Bought a Timeless Enreal Tear and Reverse Aeas Hand to land a couple of scrolls first.



The staff got destroyed by a 30% scroll on the 2nd slot after passing the first.



As for the wand, I used 70% scrolls because 30% scrolls are pricey, and I didn't really want to spend too much on this fun little project. Managed to pass the first 4 slots with 70% scrolls and decided to level it up first to see how it goes before considering the next scroll to use.



The plan is to hopefully get something decent, above 170 tma, to replace my current 176 tma Wand 6, since I don't need that much magic anymore.



I've prepared a 22 Luk overall so that I can equip Timeless weapons, together with some extra Luk from event items, I am able to equip the wand.

This should keep me motivated while farming some meso. Let's see how it goes!

 

Yeah, I also have this 18 Luk cape that my Shadower used last time, along with some poorly scrolled 3 Luk gloves and 4 Luk shoes.





Also started exchanging for Ravana Helmets and gotten a 19 Luk so far.



If I equip everything, I would have exactly 100 Luk, excluding event items, just enough to hold a Reverse/Timeless.



Even without leveling the wand, the magic, with MW20, is sufficient to one-hit Skele.

 

First level up of the wand got the worst possible rolls.



Stats Gained
Level 1: 1/2 Int, 0/1 Luk, 1/4 ma
Level 2: -
Level 3: -
Level 4: -
Level 5: -

But don't worry! This wand will absorb all the bad luck, and the next will be good!



Also, thank you Feen for the crafting Gold Double Knife. Much appreciated!

 

Someone had offered 260 coins, and unfortunately, that has surpassed what I think the dagger is worth.



Hopefully, this will motivate lucky scrollers to make more of these in the near future.

Thanks for all the support!

 

Well, the bad news is I won't be getting a dagger upgrade this week. The good news is my coins are open to new opportunities.

I'm considering getting a 100% MW20 service for my Shadower, seeing the price slowly dropping, but it's not really that important since I'm getting the buff from my Bishop anyway. There's also the cape upgrade option, where I can consider buying a 10wa and sell my 9wa, which would still leave me with close to 1k coins for a dagger.

Didn't expect to have such overwhelming responses to my investment plans, where I pay a premium for success and failures will be absorbed by the investors. If I were to acquire a clean Timeless Pescas, not sure if the crowd will be interested to invest again. Here's some initial plans I came up with:

Item: clean wa109 Timeless Pescas
Investment Quota: buying price of item

Level-Up Return Multiplier:

+0wa to +7wa: 0x
8+wa: 12x
​

If +0wa to +7wa
Scrolling Return Multiplier:

<129wa: 0x
129wa: 0.8x
130wa: 1.6x
131wa: 2.4x
132wa: 3.2x
133wa: 4.0x
134wa: 5.6x
135wa: 6.4x
136wa: 7.2x
137wa: 8.0x
138wa: 8.8x
139wa: 9.6x
​

This is just a fun little activity, so don't take it too seriously...

If you have any other ideas, feel free to let me know!
