Ainz Progresses a Poor Ranged Attacker

Day 48: This has financially ruined me.

Hello!

The updates are a tad slower these days. Mostly farming daily raffles, so there's not a lot of progress on any of my characters.

I did, however, learn to predict the future:

Spoiler: pain

And then, no more than 30 minutes later...

Wow, is it finally time to stop complaining?!

no.
So, as I'm a man of my word, I shall continue bitching day by day about how horrible my raffle luck is (when it really isn't all that bad)

Small raffle progress teasers:

Spoiler

We're staying on the grind!


COME ON GIVE ME A CHAIR

However, the raffles have rewarded me with enough pcoins to make a purchase I had been wanting to make for a long time now...

Spoiler

Boom! That's a 5 att gain over my previous shield. Very happy to make this upgrade! (Shut the hecc your mouth about the luk)

Range upgrade:

Spoiler

Before coolnewshield:

After coolnewshield:

These numbers are without any buffs, don't judge me for sucking.

Additionally, I frantically scanned through all my characters today, trying to find some stuff to sell, and found these babies:

This should make for some nice extra pocket change after upgrading & holding for a few months. I also have some other:tm: stuff that should turn up a nice profit eventually.

OH
I almost forgot.
I also made a hero:

Spoiler

it wont be played until i leech it to like 140 because heroes are a joke until then :')

So anways, final conclusions:
- With the Dragon Khanjar upgrade made, I'm curious to see what my new dps numbers at various bosses will be. I'll also be switching back to ciders for bossing instead of my lazy lazy coke pills, so it should be an upgrade of +10 w.a. alltogether.
- I have *some* leftover cash, might spend it on a better top/bottom for shad. However, I've also developed an itch for upgrading my I/L's wands (both 7 and 8)
- The event raffles are honestly taking up (more than) all the time I have available to play Maple these days. Somewhat looking forward to the end of event so I can actually dedicate my hours to leveling/bossing/progress. The meso from raffling is very welcome, though!

 

A faint rumble can be heard in the distance, growing stronger with every passing (Halloween event) day...

Hello everyone!

No big updates yet, but some stuff is a-cooking!
Starting an irl job has made it notably more difficult to put in the hours I once did, but usually I can get 1-2 hours in during the late night hours.
Still, those hours can be used particularly well to execute the world's most hated moneymaker.

Spoiler: Who's that moneymaker?

I scrolled and sold some goodies, did some other stuff, and ended up with a decently growing cash stack. I'm thinking about mostly spending it on shad gear upgrades, but perhaps I want to save a fewhundred mil for my upcoming BM (contrary to popular belief, this abbreviation doesn't actually mean BowMaster. It means BossMule because goddamn it has easy pap/ravs)

Spoiler: Current status on shad

This cutie clearly needs some work. I think I'll head over to 7F to get lvl 145 in asap so I can start harrassing guildies for JC carries. JC fits in really well with the limited time I have, so in that sense it's more attractive to me than regular krex/zak.
Another thing I've been working on is getting my Tier 10 ring, the recent progress has been pretty good and I'm just a few sets away from Tier 7.

Spoiler: The disappointing story of my I/L

Ok, not quite at petri 1hit just yet. Should take 3-4 more levels, which really isn't a long grinding session whatsoever, but I've just not felt compelled to do any multiclienting on my laptop recently.

tl;dr, journal not dead, event make money, soon actual gaming?

xoxo ainz

 

Day 50!

Who would've thought, more than one post a month and we've actually managed to check off some of the goals!

Spoiler: Lvl 145, done!

Perhaps I'll be able to fit in some JC runs after event ends. For now, raffles and card hunting are keeping me pretty occupied.

Spoiler: Which leads me to the following...

Honestly very happy about the progress here. Also crossed off the 1200 cards checkmark, closing in on that 1500 slowly but surely.

Spoiler: Monster book overview

While I may not always enjoy the process of farming cards, I do thoroughly enjoy staring at my monsterbook progress and seeing which zones would help me 'color in' one of the tiers. Still more than enough easy sets remaining for now

Spoiler: Final character overview for now

We're still fairly squishy, but I have plenty of MP remaining to wash out towards HP.

Anywho, I think that just about does it for today. More soon?

xoxo

 

No elaborate story about plans I have, no excuses for why I've paused something else again. Just like having a place to document my progress. Meet Ironmainz.
Rules:
- No trading with other people (except my own storage mule)
- No FM stores
- No partying (except in bosses after like lvl 135, meaning zak/krex/cwk, not pap/rav, those are still only soloable)
- Above rules obviously also mean that I can't rely on buff mules or previous gear.

The reasons for this account are twofold. Firstly, I was growing tired of always feeling like I needed to use more clients. Secondly, I didn't have a pally yet and pallies are cool as heck.

Immediate goals:
- Farm a hell of a lot of scrolls, sorry for camping area bosses owo
- Try to farm a newspaper hat for the OA 30% Quest.
- Reach level 45, hopefully by then I'll finally be able to utilise my favorite melee grinding map.
- Probably also EPQ until I get my earrings. (Redacted, thanks Mard, my brain lagged)
- Figure out what I'll be using for a helmet. I'm inclined to aim for a lvl 50+ helmet to replace the obviously missing Zhelm.


Oh, yeah, leveling history.

Spoiler

 

Good point. I'll have to reconsider if I think it's ok to party for PQs lmao :')

Ok, on second thought. I'll be scratching EPQ. Going to find earrings somewhere else.

 

Oh actually on that note, is it possible to hybrid on pally?
