Easy First-Char Journal - Low NX, Lightly-Washed White Knight

Day 47: Earned 20% exp at FoG. Saved up 3m of mesos
Used fishing points to get one of the pets, and bought Auto Pots, and item + meso loots. Hope this helps me to deal with carpal tunnel better.
Also bought 20 +12wa coke pills. Will probably test them out and see if it speeds up my FoG training. Also good to use it as a timer to take breaks inbetween my grinds.

Day 48 & 49: Another 20% at FoG
Grillled cheese and honster ran out. Elixir seems to be going pretty strong, will probably take some time before I have to go and repot.
Intern started for me this week, and coincidentally my hands kinda felt more numb on some days, gotta be careful.
On a side note, I just started learning chess, feels pretty fun despite me constantly missing out on opportunities when I play it hahah.

Day 50, 51, 52, 53:
Not too sure how many days it took, gonna assume its 4 days.
Finally leveled up, 2 more levels to lvl 70, and get that fire charge >

When I was using NLC mule to repot, the mule had 1m in her, so I guess all this time I assumed I had 1m less. Bought 300 honster & 200 grilled cheese with it, which cost almost exactly 1m.

AP Points:
lvl 68: +5 STR

SP Point:
+3 BW Booster

Got a cheap +10 acc 6 slot sad mask for 1m.

Spoiler

Goals are still same, for I don't think I've made any major milestone yet:
- Earn more meso for bossing weapon in future (im planning to go 1h).
- Buy RK when level 70.

Stuffs outside maple:
- I still have carpal tunnel, its hard to tell if im getting better or not, coz it keeps going up and down.
- My laptop's SSD windows boot drive spoiled. Installed Linux Mint on an external HDD and have been using it for my OS these few days, and using it for maple. Pretty cool.
- Very likely I'll just switch to Linux for good, since this Linux is alot more responsive than windows on my SSD.

 

Day 54, 55, 56, 57:
- Did some FoG, then took a ship to Orbis for OPQ.
- Got my Goddest Wristband, pretty cool. I got 2x 60% GFA from FoG, tempted to scroll, but held back due to the rules I've set for myself (all nice/valued things goes to my alt, and never to be used here)
- Also, I've leveled up, just needed one more to become a White Knight (gotta find someone to simp xD)

Day 58, 59, 60, 61:
- Started to vote again. Voted for 2 days so far i believe.
- Stayed in FoG until lvl 70 D
- I went to sharp cliff twice, forgetting to bring dark xtal lol. Used 3x tp rocks out of frustration kekw
- Bought 2x Red Katana, one for scrolling and one pre-scrolled. More on it later.
- Scrolled a new speed boots
- Went to ghost ship, doing capt lat prequest

Current Status


My Red Katana Journey:
1. Did an owl and saw an underpriced 87wa clean RK.

Spoiler

2. Bought 7x 60% 1h scrolls from my main, at 50k each

Spoiler

Owled prices:

Me buying from my main:

3. Then I tossed all 7 scrolls in

Spoiler

Before:

After:

4. And for some reason, I decided to buy a 92wa RK for 400k, owled in FM

Spoiler

Total Spending: 1.5m for two of those RKs. No need to simulate bad luck when its alr there :'((

Also, hype for my new speed boots:

Spoiler

Spent 500k on 4x 30% scrolls, and only one had first-slot pass.
Managed to land 4x 60% after that, I guess this is where my luck went to.
Last slot will likely use 100% scroll when I go pass ludi next time.

Goals:
- get mesos for 10wa gloves, 12+wa stolen fence and 125+wa sparta.
- get horus eye in future.

 

Day 62:
- Spent alittle time on gs, killing mr anchor and some slimy until about 40% exp.
- Bought 6x amoria basket, 130k each, and head off to mannies. I still miss quite alot even with basket. Took 5 basket to level up to 71.
- Went on another journey to elrath, to buy some red snowshoe and scroll an accuracy boots.
- Mannies eats up my pots very fast, and im not getting much loots from it. Currently it will make my meso gain negative. Will stay in mannies for awhile, until the elixirs I got from FoG is completely used up.

AP Points

Spoiler

lvl 70: +10 STR
lvl 71: +5 STR

SP Points

Spoiler

lvl 70: +1 Fire Charge
lvl 71: +3 Fire Charge

Some interesting highlights:
- I totally forgot about my +5 acc glove. Did not use it during lvl 70 ._.
- Bought 3x more red snowshoes because there are only 4x 10% avoid in the market (I have a clean one with me). I bought a 10% and it freaking passed. Must be rng pitying me for my 89wa RK ytd.
- Speed boots complete with 7 acc.
- Went to ludi for 100 sniper pills and 100 speed pills. With my +5 acc glove, +7 acc boots and +10 acc sniper pill, I can hit mannies quite decently, but will be much better with basket.
- Finished my new speed boots ytd with a 100% scroll, now currently 12 speed.

Some screenshots of my FM journey today:
Owling for baskets:

Spoiler

Loots obtained during mannies, 5 baskets

Spoiler

Scrolling Avoid Shoes

Spoiler

145k + 2x 10k + 2x 15k = 195k on my avoid shoe, pretty lucky here.


Sent the 3 clean shoes to my mule, incase i wanna use them for something in future

Goals:
- Still same as before - save up mesos for bossing gears.
- Will keep a look out to go MPQ, for Horus Eye. Will first take advantage of fast mannies exp for now however

 

Day 63 & 64:
- Another level up! Now 72 D
- Been grinding without amoria baskets. Probably will be faster with them since I do still have a big amount of misses, but it's alright for now.

Lvl 72: +5 STR

Loots from Mannies:


Goals:

Day 65, 66, 67:
- Another level up! Now 73
- Haven't been playing much on my Pally, cause I was scouting for cheap mw20 svc awhile back. Bought it, and it cost my entire savings so I was earning back slowly. Adding my occasional numb hands in isn't helping

AP Points:
Lvl 73: +5 STR (1x HP Wash)

IRL Stuffs:
- Carpal Tunnel said to be misdiagnosed. I'm now treated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Goals:
- Still same as before - save up mesos for bossing gears.
- Will keep a look out to go MPQ, for Horus Eye. Will first take advantage of fast mannies exp for now however

 

How many days has it been? Totally no idea, lets just say 4 days.
Day 68, 69, 70, 71:
- Lvl 74 now
- Mainly using PPQ to level up instead of mannies. Been using it to carry my guild members from Active.
- Got Lord Pirate Hat III & Chair

AP Points:
- Not adding yet. Planning to HP wash 5 times.

SP Points:
Lvl 73: +3 Fire Charge

Current Status:


Clean Hat:


IRL Stuffs:
- Not sure whats going on but, I now have both Thoracic Outlet Syndrome & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Both at minor/early stages.

Goals:
- Still same as before - save up mesos for bossing gears.
- Not gonna MPQ anymore. That PQ takes half hour, not good for my carpal hands.
- Considering buying helm acc scrolls for mannies.

 

Day 72, 73, 74, 75. 76:
- Lvl 76 Now (Skipped writing an entry for lvl 75)
- I left ppq at lvl 75 for kid mannies. need 3 more runs to get 4th pirate hat but, decide i'll get it next time.

AP Points
Lvl 75: +10 STR (5 HP Washes)
Lvl 76: +5 STR

Some stuffs noticed:
- I didnt do @epm, but at lvl 75, im getting 16% exp in 10 minutes at kid mannies. This is way faster than PPQ's 5% per run, with each run being about 7-10 min long.
- With my full acc gear + sniper potion, I'm getting much lesser misses. About 1 missed attack in every 6 hit slash blast on kid mannies
- Why is CDs map empty? No one grinds in CDs anymore? Or are there just very little 3rd job players in general?
- I've got issues trying to hit Great Oldies, about 50% miss-rate with full acc gear. The walking around sucks heavily too, hence I much prefer kid mannies, despite having no one to grind with.

Goals:
- Gonna grab a valentine makeover. My current looks is so bad, really wanna change it hahah.
- Main stuffs I wanna grab in this event: Grape Face, Princess Hair, Lavender Face, and some 20 point set for a full NX makeover.
- Gear wise, same as usual. Save money, grab new gear and prepare for bossings.

 

Day 77:
- Lvl 77 & and Lvl 78!!! Been grinding hard in mannies
- Got 64 Spring Points now, 61 points away from hair + eyes makeover
- Finally capable of making some profits in mannies. (By looting mesos, selling bunnies etc & equips)

AP Points:
+5 STR

SP Points:
+ 3 Fire Charge

Current Status:


Additional Notes:
- Using sniper pills & speed pills are good indicator for me to take a break every 10 min. Helps with carpal.

Goals:
- Same as previous post

 

Im still getting 15-16% exp per 10min (one round of sniper pill) in kid mannies so, i think its pretty good.
I still miss quite often in CDs, and somehow its empty when i visit that area hahah. no way im gonna solo it so, yeahh...

Looks like a good idea, but maybe not now coz those mobs are lvl 87 hahah, gonna have lots of misses.
I'm eyeing on phantom watch too, which are lvl 95. Vikerolas might be a good inbetween before I go for phantom watch

 

not gonna use event basket, as part of the challenge hahah. only rewards i can get from event is APRs and cosmetics.
I'll perhaps head down to malaysia sometime, try out vikerola. definitely will leave kid mannies sometimes, coz i wanna go deep ludi too

 

Day 78:
- Lvl 79 woooooo
- 91 Spring Points now, gotta need moarr
- Recorded some @epm 5 at pink mannies for references. Meant to upload on prev post but I forgot

Current Status:


There's about 5.3m of mesos with storage keeper, which I forgot to take out.

AP Points:
+5 STR

SP Points:
+3 Fire Charge (lvl 28 now )

@epm 5 for pink mannies:
Efficient Sweaty Rotation @lvl 76:


Casual Grinding @lvl 78:


Goals:
- Deciding to go Deep Ludi or Vikerola
- I want to use a Warrior OA, but female warrior OAs are super rare to find in FM. Will be hunting them.
-- Targeted equips are: Dark, Red or Blue Battle Empress. Dark is super rare so I'll focus mainly on Red & Blue.
-- Mobs to hunt for: Death Teddy (Red), Death Watch (Red), Spirit Viking (Blue), Gigantic Spirit Viking (Red & Black)
-- Spirit Viking is not weak to fire, high chance to skip it once I get 5/5 cards.
-- I'm considering Gigantic Spirit Viking however, since it have chance to drop black.
-- Hope these new mobs/maps are carpal tunnel friendly and can allow me to save more mesos than grinding in mannies :')
- Weapon wise, I'm still fixated on a Sparta + Shield end goal.

 

The most I saw was a chief bandit soloing in a channel and a mage leeching in another hahah
