TTKirnk's Iron Man Character Journal (REAL)

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!! with the event being fully over and what not, i am actually taking a breather from the game and only doing some daily bossing, weekly Pink Bean, and afking hunting some area bosses for the last few chairs to complete my collection so i can spend more time doing other things unrelated to ML. as such, expect some pretty short journal entries until likely the next event, depending on how its set up and all that. shirley it wont come up again this next upcoming Sunday the 22nd of February...right? anyway, before getting into the little meat that there is for this journal entry, "Duey offering me Tribute to Delete for my Amusement"™ seems to have struck:


damn Cucumbers! get'em outta here! anyway, lets move onto the usual weekly PB stuff:


like usual, the above stats and DPMs had Ciders (20 WA), MW30, SE, and Echo

the top line is a DPM25 for statues, to which it was the usual bird last strategy with 2 Bishops in the party to holy shield. this DPM ended a lot earlier than expected, as it ended just as we were starting the right wiseman statue during stage 5, which id rather it be too early like this than too late and bleed into main body. i played not so well on top of forgorring to equip my pet at the start of the run, which both factors led me into dying not once but TWICE during statues. failed 2 Active Berserks due to getting stunned and playing bad, to which then led into me dying to DR two times while trying to passive Berserk. it was ultimately me being bad but let me tell ya...having to Passive Berserk and fully manual pot during DR when you're likely to be below 15k HP sure is rough. on top of the deaths, i did get seduced two times as well as got 0 banishes. truth be told i actually didnt have that bad of a time during statues despite the double death at DR, but you can definitely see how quickly DPM can drop due to seduces and deaths. definitely below average for sure and hopefully i dont forgor to equip my pet next time :`)

the bottom line is a DPM20 for main body, to which i managed to pull off 0 deaths, got seduced 0 times, and failed ZERO Active Berserks. toping all of this with decent wandering time and actually making sure i was hitting the bean most of the time, i managed to pull off a damn good body DPM. its so good that its actually a PR! very nice to see myself getting 2.3mil DPM on Ciders, even if its my current top end. looks like the new top end goal will be 2.4mil, but im more concerned with getting more runs like this rather than beating my best. suffice to say, i have no complaints about this DPM and i am very happy with this. quite funny how i managed to get a "balanced" run altogether due to having a bad statue DPM and a good body DPM in the same run. oh, and for those wondering...yes i did manage to equip my pet before entering main body so that wasnt a concern. anyway, since all i did was some daily bossing, im just going to go right into the bossing data and gachapon, starting with the gachapon for once:


damn who coulda thought that doing very little farming outside of bossing gets you very little gachapon. the only farming i did this week was for Ravana ETCs, and i think i only got 1-2 gachapon tickets from that. because my ticket count is so low, im just gonna hold onto them for now and wait until this amount is higher/i do some actual farming again. as such, its time to move onto the bossing data:






this data sure is something else. Papulatus only managed 1 puch total for the week, and Ravana is on like a 15 day dry streak (about 30-31 runs or so)...which is always a nice feeling :`) at the very least Burger is cooking with getting 7 puch throughout the week, and with a lot of high rolls. Burger bot alone got me 46 coins this week, which is pretty nice if you consider the fact that my ironman ass made over half a White Scroll in a week after including the one Papulatus puch and the coins i got from Chao. seeing stuff like this, on top of how well the event went with bossing drops, is why ive dropped doing the CWK Exchange currently. hopefully this train continues for a while so i can keep trying to make White Scrolls at a decent rate. with that said, its time to wrap up this quick ass Beaver side of this week's journal entry and move on with the other usual things:


as expected, my overall experience per week has gone down by quite a bit without the additional bonus event experience + not farming mobs in Crimsonwood Keep. i will very likely fall behind one level every two weeks with how things are looking, which im ok with. even if my usual daily bossing and weekly PB doesnt get me to my level up, i will likely be sure to grind out the exp itself since i should either be very close to leveling up by next Thursday or get the level up. on a side note, i did manage to get the Blue Levi Chair, the Mushmom Chair, and the Manon Chair all within this week somehow, which means i have all the area boss chairs in my collection! i legit only need the card set from Anego/Lady Boss and then i am done with all cosmetic related things (card sets and chairs) from all the area/botting bosses, which is pretty nice to think about. i will be ignoring Anego due to various reasons, but maybe ill get it one of these days :`) its kinda nice not having to care about camping area bosses now since i can just afk in peace and focus on my non-ML games more...like Mewgenics! anyway, i currently plan to continue to just do my usual daily bossing and weekly PB going into next week, which will likely only change if some kind of patch drops anytime from now until next Thursday. i do need to get more Spear Att 10%'s eventually via farming, but im not desperate just yet since i dont procure White Scrolls very quickly and i got 5 in stockpile. that said, its time to move onto the usual FUMO transition which wont be so usual this time around...so time to dive in!


FUMO TIME!!!



doing something a little different by pure chance. a friend asked to see my whole collection earlier in the week...which i gotta say was kinda a pain to get my collection together like this. anyway, since i had the picture and what not i figured why not also share it here for like the 1 person that prolly cares. more are on the way eventually too so itll only get bigger from here. i am getting close to "finishing" my collection though. ok thats enough about my FUMOs and lets move onto CHLOE!!!


truthfully, not much has happened since last week. we're still working on training her, and she still has a long way to go...but i think some progress was still made nonetheless! slow and steady wins the race in this case i reckon. she still has her worse days and better days, but now that we're almost out of February and spring is (hopefully) coming sooner than later, maybe we can do more things with her and what not since it wont be so damn cold and covered with snow everywhere. anyway, thats all i really got to say here so i shall depart with the usual Chloe picture dump and i will see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!! here i am with another "high effort" weekly journal update that totally isnt an excuse to post about my dog :`) ok anyway time to go over my pb stats first like usual:


the above stats and DPMs were done with Ciders (20 WA), Echo, MW30, and SE like usual. i also had 2 holy shields throughout the run as well as not die once.

the top line is a DPM26 for statues, which was bird last strategy like usual. being honest, this statue run was really damn good if you couldnt tell by the DPM number (its a PR for me!). 0 banishes, 0 failed Active Berserks, 0 deaths like mentioned. i only got seduced once the entire time, to which i was able to will it right away. the DPM also ended right around Right Wiseman going down during stage 5, so it was arguably about a minute off from covering the entire statue phase of the run. i aint got much else to say here other than hot damn! glad to see that i can manage 5.5mil when everything comes together. looks like my new goal will be 5.7mil DPM

the bottom line is a DPM20 for main body, to which i unfortunately did not perform as well here compared to statues. i managed to get seduced 3 times total, which i was only able to will one of them. the other two i had to go through the whole duration, though one of them happened just as Pink Bean casted DR so that particular one didnt ruin my DPM that much. the third one did, since it was not during a DR and also made fail an Active Berserk...my only failed Active Berserk at that. it was definitely a slightly below average performance, but since i still managed a 1.9mil DPM i suppose its not the worst. overall, not a bad performance, to which now i just need to have this statue DPM and last week's body DPM happen together in the same run for a god run of sorts. hopefully one day ill stop shitting the bed one day and itll happen sooner than later :`) anyway, its time to dig into the bossing data and then wrap this nonsense up:


no puch???? bad Papulatus!!!


5 puch???? good Burger Bot!!! got decent rolls on the coins themselves too, so im glad my efforts are being paid from this damn boss at least


1 puch??? not that good Ravana!!! at least you got something, unlike Papulatus i suppose. 1 is better than 0 :`) speaking of coins, i managed to get enough coins for another White Scroll attempt. as for how that went...




another fail to the bin eh? i am currently 0/16 for White Scrolls on my Timeless AlchuPP. i am just gonna keep moving along and hope that my motivation to keep doing things like my daily bossing doesnt eventually fade away if i keep getting fails :`) although that likely wont be an issue until im level 20 since at least for now that is a decent goal and the daily bossing does get me experience. speaking of daily bossing...


whats this you may ask? why this is me trying to solo JC with the above buffs. unfortunately, it ended up not working out. after some thought and seeing this in person, i decided to make a slight adjustment to Rule #8 aka im just gonna make an exception for JC. more specifically, itll be so that i will allow myself to only DUO this boss, and other than the cards i will not be looting anything. this is because i think adding JC to my daily/almost daily bossing rotation would be nice for the experience factor, since its pretty good experience for the time commitment needed for it. im not sure ill be running it every day, but i will try my best to run it as much as possible until im 200 me thinks. with that said, its time to wrap up the Beaver side of this week's journal entry and move onto the other nonsense:


so much gachapon! sike!!! can really tell im playing the game a lot with how much gachapon im getting. i might get 1-2 tickets come next week since ill need to farm more Ravana etcs :`) adding JC to my experience rotation should help me out with trying to keep up with one level a week, but i think currently ill still fall behind slightly or barely pass on by. as i said before, that is ok since maybe my motivation will sky rocket once im pretty close to 200. for now, i shall take it somewhat slow and steady. i did finally manage to get max distance on Rush now, so it is essentially maxed (level 28 as the other two points dont do anything important), which means i only need 2 more levels to fully max out Monster Magnet and essentially be out of 4th job skills to add points in to since im stuck with MW10 and i do not want to add those 2 points to Rush. EXCITING!!! anyway, i shall continue the laidback daily bossing/weekly pb life as i am having fun playing other games like Mewgenics and Terraria, so next week's journal entry shall be low maintenance once again. with that all wrapped up, its time for the usual FUMO transition and then the Chloe part of this week's journal entry.

FUMO TIME!!!


you know what you did. its been a long week but the work week is almost over (or maybe its over depending on when you read this). good job! congratz! ok enough of that shitpost its time for Chloe posting:


there isnt anything new to report here truthfully. not much has changed with her training and behavior...though it doesnt help that she can be quite volatile overall. slow and steady wins the race hopefully maybe! still waiting on that weather to warm up so we can do more stuff with her outside, both for playing with her and for training related things. i wont keep yall waiting so here are your weekly photos and i will see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!! back again with another uneventful, minimum playtime week! lets just dive right in with the quick PB DPM update:




well those are some nice numbers to see! both DPMs/stats had MW30, SE, Cider (20 WA), and Echo. also managed to get 0 deaths for the whole run

top line is a DPM25 during statues, in which i had 2 holy shields on a bird last run like always. i managed to get seduced 0 times, which was helped by me getting banished two times, in which one of them caused me to fail an Active Berserk. i also failed an Active Berserk because i was being bad, leading to a total of 2 failed Active Berserks. the DPM also managed to end like 5-10 seconds before we entered main body, so it was essentially a perfectly timed DPM. honestly other than the 2 failed Active Berserks and me fumbling around for a wee bit during stage 5, this was a pretty good performance from me, in which the numbers reflect that. not a PR, but its pretty close to one, and when its paired with the body DPM i got it looks a lot better. speaking of...

the bottom line is a DPM20 during main body, to which i managed to get seduced twice as well as fail 2 Active Berserks. one Active Berserk happened due to me being bad and being unable to dodge the stun spam, and the other one happened due to one of the seduces. funnily enough, this particular seduce/failed Active Berserk got bailed out by the Buccaneer in my party using Time Leap for Resurrections, as he happened to hit me with the Time Leap too. this did help my DPM by a decent amount since i didnt have to Passive Berserk after the seduce, though maybe not as much as i am thinking it did. the other seduce happened during a DR, so this barely impacted my DPM since not all of my walk back was during the DR. a pretty performance overall, along with some good luck. this also isnt a PR but still a good DPM nonetheless. overall, this was a well above average run in performance and numbers, even with the oopsies. these are the kinds of runs i want to aim for weekly, so hopefully this will become more and more common as i keep practicing and not slipping up...or getting too distracted yapping :`) anyway, its time to move onto the daily bossing stats and then wrap up the Beaver's side of this journal entry:




this dry streak do be gross! 0 pouches from Papulatus sure is rough. maybe Ravana wont be so bad:


i actually counted it out and i managed to only get 3 pouches total in the past month, to which i may have only missed 1 day of running but im pretty sure ive ran every single day. its truly impressive how my pouch rate for Ravana has absolutely tanked...but maybe this next month period will be better...right? :`) time to pray that Burger Bot will get me SOME coins to work with:


when all else fails, Burger Bot always comes in clutch. at least my time spent doing this being paid out :`) with that, its time to wrap things up and move onto FUMOs and Chloe:


look at that exp bar move! the almost daily JC really is helping out, and should hopefully help me stay on track for my current goal of getting 200 sometime around June-July or so. depending on how close i get to leveling up by the next journal entry, i may go out of my way to actually finish it up so my pacing is still on track but we shall see about that. otherwise mesos still go up, and gachapon is...trying its best i suppose. 1 ticket is better than 0 right? :`) anyway, thats about it for the Beaver this week, so lets get right into the usual FUMO transition into Chloe side of this week's journal entry!


FUMO TIME!!!


are you ready for what is to come? i sure hope so...because it will be quite the surprise! ok its time to get into whats new with Chloe, because there is quite a big update id say!


oh no! not the Cone of Shame! unfortunately for Chloe, it was finally time to get her spayed, which happened this last Wednesday aka yesterday as of writing this. she really did not like that cone around her head, on top of being sore and exhausted in general. worry not though, we upgraded her to the doughnut earlier today!


shes a lot happer with this, although she is able to actually lick where her incisions are with this on vs the cone fully stopping that. we'll just keep an eye on her instead and make sure she doesnt bother with the spot, which so far she hasnt really tried to lick it or anything. shes gonna need to have this on at most 2 weeks, so i hope yall are ready for Doughnut Chloe for a a bit! we might be able to take it off sooner than 2 weeks if we really think she can be trusted to not lick the incisions at all, but as of now we are aiming for the full 2 weeks. not much really happened before that otherwise...so i shall send yall off with some non-cone and non-doughnut pictures of Chloe and see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!! i am back with yet another boring uneventful week...though i did shake it up a bit this time around! lets dig right in and get started with the usual PB DPM nonsense:


now thats what im talking about! those DPMs are looking pretty nice together. as usual i had 2 Holy Shields during the whole run, to which i also managed 0 deaths during the whole run

the top line is a DPM25 during statues, which was a bird last strategy like always. truthfully this statue run felt very weird on my end, because despite getting a 5.25mil DPM it felt like i shoulda gotten below 5mil DPM. i think that because i managed to fail 3 Active Berserks...which is pretty gross! to be fair, 2 of them were due to banishes and the other 1 was due to me being stupid and screwing up, but having to use Passive Berserk for that long with my potion set up feels like i do bleed DPM no matter how well i play it out. at the very least, i only had those 2 banishes, which combined with the 2 Holy Shields helped me get seduced 0 times. my DPM was also a bit short since i wasnt fully sure on how long to have it, as this coulda easily been a DPM27. despite all of that, i did manage to get a 5.25mil DPM, which id say is pretty good overall despite all the nonsense that happened. can always improve of course, but this is quite acceptable!

the bottom line is a DPM20 during main body, which i felt like i largely played pretty well altogether. i did get seduced two times, but i managed to will both of them pretty quickly so they had minimum impact on my DPM. i also managed 0 failed Active Berserks, and my overall movement and play was pretty decent. wandering was also on the lower side this time around, so with that and the two seduces in mind, im quite happy to get above 2mil DPM, even if its ever so slightly. an acceptable DPM, though of course can be better! im quite happy with how this run turned out as a whole performance wise, since i was expecting a worse performance overall before i got the numbers back. slowly but shirley ill be getting rid of any DPMs that are in the 4mils and 1mils! with that said, its time to move onto the first different things i did this week:


i did some farming this week??? it wasnt so much something i really wanted to do truthfully...but as you can, i am running a bit low on Spear Att 10%'s, so i will try to farm as many as i can before another event comes out so i dont have to worry about farming them during the event or having to stockpile any coins until i get more scrolls. as for how that turned out...


truthfully it went alright. i barely farmed for an hour, prolly something like 50-70 minutes or so, and managed to get 3 scrolls total so thats not too bad...but man i got bored way too fast :`) i think a lot of it is rodeos being really uninteresting to farm due to how simple the map is and how they just die to my rushes alone, but we'll how truthful that really is if i ever decide to start grinding for experience again. i am thinking of just not even farming more scrolls right when i run out or get close as well and just stack up coins for a while, but that may also depend on how these last 3 scrolls go. funnily enough i manage to have it so that itll be on my 20th attempt ill run out of scrolls. either way, i do not produce coins that quickly so i do have at least over a month before i have to likely think about farming these scrolls again, so i shall leave it here for now. by scrolls i mean the Spear Att 10%'s since the Pet Equip Speed 60%'s dont really matter either way. speaking of coin generation and needing more Spear Att 10%'s, the main reason i decided to try and farm more scrolls is because i managed to get enough coins this week to go for another White Scroll attempt:


0/17 for White Scrolls now. i aint got any words at this point other than its back to the grind i suppose :`) with that said, its time to go over the daily bossing stats:


2 pouches from Papulatus??? with how Papulatus and Ravana have been treating me the past month or so, i wont complain about this amount! speaking of Papulatus, this finally happened:


wow i finally got my mount! i didnt really care about getting this truthfully, but this does feel more like an "accomplishment" since it took me essentially double the time to unlock this due to only being able to run 1 Papulatus per reset period. maybe my luck will go up now that i have this chair!!!! anyway, moving on with the other bossing data:


well at least i got 2 pouches from Ravana :`) thats pretty good compared to what i have been getting lately. something is better than nothing i suppose...


Burger Bot giving me 6 pouches??? a bit more than usual this week thank goodness. i know who i can rely on for coins at this point, thats for sure. i have 1 more new addition/surprise for this week though...


whats this? it saids NIB??? thats right, i decided to try out solo Nibelung runs...and they werent too bad. they are certainly a lot longer than the Burger Bot runs, and i dont have the time in the day to run this shit daily (nor do i want to prolly), so i decided that i will try to run Nib on my days off only and when i am feeling it. currently, i am feeling a bit more motivation to do more things in the game despite how the White Scrolling is going, which might be the push for 200 motivation kicking in. as such, i will try to do said Nib runs for now. glad to see it went pretty well with the pouches though, as its nice to see 3/4! that said, thats all the extra things i did this week and things in general, so its time to wrap this journal entry up for the Beaver and move on with the other usual nonsense:


managed to get my level up, and i didnt have to go outta my way to get the last bit of experience too! i woulda had to if i didnt run those Nibs those week though. i will see about getting another 50% within a week but im not sure how likely thatll be. i do plan to try and run more Nibs on my days off in the coming weeks, but prolly not bother with farming Rodeos. otherwise its just the usual daily bossing and what not, and i currently dont plan to change that unless an event/patch comes out. when that will happen i aint got a damn clue! anyway, thats all i got to say for the Beaver this week, so its time to do the usual FUMO transition into Chloe side of this week's journal entry.

FUMO TIME!!!!


Reimu is ready to RAVE...and by rave i mean she likely didnt ask for this and is seeking for your help. what will you do??? perhaps the answer can be found by looking at how Chloe has been doing:


not much has changed with Chloe. shes still healing from the spaying and what not, so the doughnut shall stay on for a bit longer. we will likely be removing it sometime next week or so. unfortunately, we found out today that she seems to be constipated due to the painkillers we have been giving her...so now we are currently trying to work on that. we are gonna stop giving her painkillers though unless she shows signs of intense pain, but we are thinking she'll be ok now that a week has passed. other then that...not much has changed for better or worse! with that said, i dont got much else to say here so enjoy your usual weekly Chloe photo dump and ill see yall...soon enough!








wait until you see her final form!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS YADDA YADDA SAME STUFF TIME FOR PB STUFF idk i wanted to be different for once lets just get in to them PB dpms:


DPMs and stats are with SE, MW30, Ciders (20 WA), and Echo like usual. there were 0 deaths total for this run, and this run had only 1 bishop using holy shield for the party today. i had a shadower in the party as well for smoke but uhh being honesty i didnt get much of it so it didnt make a huge impact this time around :`) no flame the shadower in my party since no smokescreen is the norm for me anyway

top line is a DPM25 during bird last strategy for statues...and this was an interesting run. the big thing is that this DPM was too long and it shoulda been a DPM23 at most, which means about 90ish seconds or so of this DPM bled into main body. we even got to the first round of DR before this DPM ended! given, it was only for like a few seconds but it still adds to the lower DPM. i also managed to fail 2 Active Berserks due to being dumb, and i managed to only get 1 banish. i did think i played decently well during Passive Berserk, but i do think my auto HP was set a bit too high so i do think i bled a bit of DPM due to that. overall, the fact that i almost broke a PR despite everything going against this run is pretty damn impressive. on the other hand, im very smadge that i had my DPM be so high, because i definitely woulda PR'd had i set it to be lower! tragic, but i suppose the good thing to take outta this is that i did play decently well despite everything.

bottom line is a DPM20 during main body, to which i managed to get seduced 4 times...which is likely a new record for seduces during a main body phase :`) weirdly, 3 outta the 3 were during DR, so i didnt bleed too much DPM because of it. the other i was able to use my Hero's Will on immediately, so that was also a minimal DPM bleed. on top of failing 0 Active Berserks and decent bean aggro...this performance wasnt too bad overall. nothing ground breaking like the statues for this run but it is a good performance! always happy to see anything above 2mil currently. overall, despite how weird this run felt with all that happened during both statues and body, it was a decent run overall performance wise. heres to keeping up that 5mil/2mil average grind and always making sure i get that every week! with that said, i aint got much else to talk about other than my bossing data for the week so i shall dive right into that:


0 pouches???? YUCK!!! shit game!!!!


2 pouches??? well i suppose thats better than Papulatus but man this aint looking good for ya still Ravana. this game still shit!


5 pouches from Burger??? excellent. this is about average or so, which is nice to think about since that means at minimum this boss is usually making me about a fifth of a White Scroll every week...which is pleasant to think about until i think about failing them :`) anyway, moving onto the last boss:


2 pouches here is pretty decent still. i managed to get an extra 2 runs in this week since i got the day off this past monday, so i figured why not try to get some more experience and coins in. i have also figured out that this boss truly is super afk and being largely afk in it doesnt hurt my timer too much as long as i dont completely ignore it...so i realized that if im not spending that time watching something i may play games like Slay the Spire 2 and Balatro while running Nib at the same time since theres no rush taking my turns in those games. luckily im soloing so no one to get mad at me for multicontenting

anyway, thats all i got here so its time to wrap things up and move on with the usual nonsense:


quite a bit more experience than expected, thats for sure! i wont complain about another 8% than what i was aiming for this week. unfortunately the Halloween Masks expire as of today, so my range will be going down come next time since i still have it right now in this screenshot. with a patch coming out this sunday, next week will potentially be different though that will depend on how exactly the event ends up working. for now, i shall continue forward with what ive been doing and i suppose we will all find out come monday or so i reckon. hopefully i can still manage to get at least 42% and keep up my 1 level every 2 weeks. with that said, the Beaver side of things is done, so it is time for the usual FUMO transition into Chloe's journal entry for the week.


FUMO!!!!!


yes excellent give her a good hand shake. a very polite thing to do here...ok anyway its time for what yall have been waiting for:


the doughnut is officially off! we were originally take it off this last monday...but Chloe managed to take it off again. yes, she has taken it off several times now. so because she managed to take it off again sometime during the night last thursday aka week ago, we just decided to not bother and she would be fine...which has been the case. other then that, not much different has happened. her behavior still swings a lot in her both behaving pretty well somedays and other days being a complete monster. currently it seems like the spaying hasnt had any immediate and noticeable impact on her, but we shall keep observing that i suppose. now we are just in the warmer weather waiting room so that we can have our trainer show us how to walk her like its a job for her, which will hopefully help us out a lot in getting her to control herself more and be more obedient etc. it cant get here any sooner :`) thats all i got to say about Chloe this week, so enjoy yalls weekly photo dump and i shall see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!! with the event out and about its time for a bit of a different journal entry compared to the last month or so. before getting into that, for once "Who the Hell Wasted a Buddy List Spot for the Beaver?"™ got some activity...and it was 2 people at that!


weow this guy is epic!!! i heard Grave makes really cool art that yall should be sure to check out when you get the chance




anyway, its time for the usual count up/update/whatever you wanna call it:


i love number go up. moving on, i unfortunately did not get the chance to run PB on the Beaver this week due to the event patch, so i will have to skip that part and move forward with the main new thing i started back up this week:




thats right...i went back to the ol grinding wheel! in particular, i went back to Crimson Guardians since 7F is uhh a bit cluttered and i think Crimson Guardians is better anyway if you ask me. i also did some EPM10 tests to get an idea of my experience gains via EPH, since its been a while since ive been here and ive gotten a lot stronger + the event bonuses. the first screenshot is just an EPM10 with only the event bonus experience, and the second screenshot is the same setup but also using a Valentine's Basket, which gives me an hour of Holy Symbol. kinda crazy to see how much of a difference Holy Symbol can make, even without party grinding. i plan to try and get a basket daily and utilize it at Crimson Guardians as much as i can, though i might have to use it at some of my bossing if i dont have the time for Crimson Guardians, which is still more than fine. my general goal currently is to try and get at least 8-12 hours total a week of Crimson Guardian grinding on my days off while the event is going, with and without baskets. whether or not that happens is another story, but we shall see on that one i suppose. with that said, thats the only "new" thing i did this week, so its time to jump into the bossing data:



2 pouches from Papulatus??? what a week to be blessed! it pains me to say that but with my recent pouch rate with Papulatus it sure seems blessed :`) thankfully Burger Bot and Ravana got me covered, to which im really shocked to see Ravana do so well. the 5 pouches from Ravana feels like its helping to make up for the past 1-2 months of an awful streak. 5 for Burger Bot aint anything uncommon though. Nib getting 0 pouches is tragic, though i only managed to run for 2 days. not too bad overall. since i managed to get a couple more gachapon tickets this week due to grinding at Crimson Guardians, i decided to actually pull them, so lets get into that:


not too bad i must say! now with some of these cooking in the inventory for a while, maybe ill get something decent...




not gonna lie... MarbleMan's yellow line baited me because i pulled my ticket right as their yellow line went off...but gzgz to them! anyway, that cooking did absolute shit because the only useful item i pulled was a Face Avoid 30%...and thats not even THAT useful to me currently! some things truly never change. with that, its time to wrap up the Beaver side of this week's journal entry...is what i would say but i did manage to get enough coins for another WS attempt:


0/18. such is life eh? ok now its time to wrap things up:


my exp bar be ZOOMING! if i get enough grinding in at Crimson Guardians while doing my other bossing and what not...i am actually expecting to level up by the next journal entry, which will be nice. i am trying to make effort to get to 200 now, and taking advantage of the Valentine Baskets and bonus experience from the event is definitely something i should do. thats my current goal really: to get to 200 asap or by the latest sometime in june. why? well...yall will find out eventually but i wont be revealing that hand just yet since im not fully sure on it myself. with that, its time to move onto the other parts of this week's journal entry, starting with FUMOS!!!



FUMO TIME!!!


Fumos? Yes. Ok. Yep. Good. ok now that you get the idea, its time to move onto CHLOE!!!


i dont got much to update on with Chloe truth be told. its been kinda the same old overall, both behavior and health wise. the only thing i can really say is that we are finally working on setting up a training session with out trainer so that he can teach my dad on how to walk Chloe like its a job for her aka tire her out both physically and mentally. last i checked it hasnt been decided yet but it should be happening with the next 2 weeks or so. we shall see how that all turns out and what not. that said, i shall photo dump yall with Chloe pictures...and i will see yall soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!!! another uneventful but experience filled week has passed us by...but before getting into that i got some content from "Duey offering me Tribute to Delete for my Amusement"™ it seems...


look at all of this nonsense! i dont even know why im getting it in the first place to the junkyard it goes.


with that outta the way, its time to actually dive into the journal content itself. normally i would be posting my PB DPMs and what not...but unfortunately i was unable to run PB on the Beaver this week and had to go full time Buccaneer mode. hopefully next week wont be the same case :`) with that said, i shall jump right into the bossing and gachapon data since all i did otherwise this week was my usual bossing stuff and some grinding on the side...to which like usual i shall start with the bossing:


3 pouches is always nice to see! excellent work Papulatus. i shall hope you keep it up


3 pouches from Ravana as well???? god damn maybe its time for the turnaround on the pouch drop rate here. glad to see Ravana is starting to return to form


i will never question the Burger Bot at this point. always giving me a decent amount of pouches...with this week being 6 is quite nice to see. as time goes on i am more and more thankful i dropped doing the CWK Exchange for daily Burger Bot solos instead


unfortunately, i cannot say the same for this one here. at least i was able to break my dry streak with a singular pouch from Nibelung but damn this shit aint looking hot. at least its super afk and i can play/watch other things while running it on my days off :`) didnt do too bad overall for my coins this week, so you wont see much whining from me. now its time to look at how the gachapon faired this week:


quite a few tickets this week! i didnt feel like i farmed that much more than last week but i might have without realizing it. nonetheless, its a good bit of tickets either way...but im sure ill be getting all junk once again :`)


it is technically better than last week...but thats not a high bar to achieve. getting another Glove Att 30% is something i cant complain about too much considering how they are gacha only for me and quite lucrative to have, so ill consider this an ok gacha pulling overall. the Topwear Str 70% and Glove Att 60% do have use as well, but arent really what im looking for currently (ok to be fair im really only looking for White Scrolls and Chaos Scrolls but i know only asking for that is too greedy). i will take this "dub" and finish wrapping up this week's journal entry:


well look at that! i managed to not only get the level up i wanted, but also a decentt bit beyond that. gonna try to keep up the momentum but sometimes it is a bit difficult to get myself to just grind when games like Slay the Spire 2 and Mewgenics keep tempting me to play them...to which bosses like Nibelung and Burger Bot let me do both at the same time. i also forgor to show my event stats and what not last week (oops teehee), so yall can see it this week! i have been actually putting in effort to turn in my quests to kill 888 mobs around my level to get raffles, along with my bossing ones. as tedious and annoying as it is, it might be worthwhile all the teleport rocks i go through to teleport back to Crimson Guardians after going back to NLC to turn in my quest. the only jumping ive done this event has been the weekly challenge to get my weekly 5 raffles...so having 120 raffles doesnt seem too bad. of course, its nothing compared to people jumping 24/7 but they're playing a different game from me in a different way :`) next week i plan to keep up the usual aka all my usual bossing and trying to get in as much Crimson Guardian grinding as i can. gotta make use of the event exp and valentine's baskets. i dont think ill be leveling up for the next journal entry but if i can get above 80% that would be nice. if i somehow manage to get a level up within a week aka about 91% then im not sure if ill truly be happy or concerned with how much time i wasted. either way, thats getting a bit ahead of myself, so i shall wrap up the Beaver side of this journal entry and move on with the usual other stuff:


FUMOSSSS!!!!!


cheese??? man that a great reward. i love me some cheese. if only i could win some...ok lets move onto CHLOE!!!


nothing to really report on for Chloe this week for the most part. everything has been the same old, same old. my dad did meet up with out trainer earlier this week in order to learn how to walk Chloe. i know it sounds dumb to say and read, but the idea with this walking is to make sure she isnt getting distracted by anything and is solely focusing on whoever is walking her...which is a lot of mental and physical power from a dog. this shall make walking more like a "job" for Chloe, while also hopefully helping with discipline as a whole. we shall see how the fruits of our labor turn out, as it likely wont be for a bit until we can really notice anything. thats it otherwise, so i shall depart with a photo dump like usual and see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS!!! i am back with another uneventful experience farming week...featuring me a bit sick but i am well enough to carry forward! anyway, before diving right in i apparently got spammed with "Who the Hell Wasted a Buddy List Spot for the Beaver?"™ content this week, so i gotta get into that first...


so many gurks! i should do a gurk count once im 200, because im fairly certain i have over 20 gurks added on my bl at this point...but the additions dont end here!




Leveler added me for party adding reasons for PB this week, which ill get into more in a bit. i also cant believe ainz is still alive!!! what a time to be alive. well thats all for buddy additions, so its time to tally it up:


wow so many friends! and yet 1/4 of them are prolly just gurks. ok lets move onto the actual journal content:


so this week was very...interesting. my party consisted of me and two 200 shadowers...and thats it :`) which does mean my buffs were Echo, MW20, and Ciders (20 WA) and 2 Smokescreens. my whole party managed to not die once so we had that going for us!

top line is a DPM25 during statues, which was a bird last strategy as usual. i played this pretty badly, to which this run made me realize how much quality of life having even 1 bishop can do in my party...as i managed to failed 6 or so Active Berserks largely due to my own fault. 1 of them was due to the only banish i got though. i also managed to get seduced 2-3 times, which was to be expected with no Holy Shields. for what my party composition was, i dont think i did too bad overall, but after realizing how dependent in a way i am on bishops in order to get above 5mil DPM...i have a lot more to work on and my motivation has gone up! also not having SE does hurt a bit too, but i do think the Holy Shields had a bigger impact on my DPM than the SE

bottom line is a DPM20 during body phase...to which this went a lot better than statues for sure (which was expected). unfortunately, im still bad at this game and managed to get seduced 3 times and was only able to Hero's Will outta one of them. one of these seduces also caused my only failed Active Berserk, which aint too bad overall. this DPM was definitely carried by the Bean wandering all over for sure, but i do think that overall my performance here wasnt too bad. body phase is definitely the one part of the fight where theres a lot of potential for me to be "independent" from bishops, but i likely woulda had something more like 0-1 seduces if i had even 1 bishop given me Holy Shield. all and all, for the strange party composition this week this was an interesting experiment and this run provided me with some interesting knowledge. GOD BLESS BISHOPS IN PB THAT ARENT THERE FOR PAYCHECKS!!!! ok well i didnt do anything else but grind and do my usual daily bossing so its time to dive into that:


thank you Papulatus for 3 pouches. you are very epic and cool


2 pouches from Ravana???? well ill take that over what i was getting from February and most of March...


holy 8 pouches from Burger??? THATS MY GOAT!!! bosses should strive to be like the Burger Bot


like this clown of a boss! i know Nib has half the data per week of Burger Bot but man this drop rate has been cheeks all around! i did get a Topwear Str 30% from one of my runs at least :`) i suppose 1 pouch is better than none. ok now its time to move onto the gachapon:


well that aint a bad amount! i didnt think i farmed that much more than last week but i suppose rng is always fickle like that. as usual, its about the quality not the quan-


truthfully, this is what should be expected from gachapon every week at this point. a few slightly useful but not really items and then junk otherwise. thats the good ol end game ironman experience i reckon :`) well i aint gonna go on about this so ill wrap things up...sike!


the bountiful coin gathering from things like Burger Bot this week meant i was able to get enough coins for another attempt...and unfortunately it was another fail. that leaves me at 0/19 currently, which i gotta say is quite saddening to see about thats how it goes. shirley it wont be something really bad in the end like 0/40...right? :`) i suppose thatll be for the future to tell us all, but for now its time to continue the grind for more coins and experience. with that said, now its time to actually start wrapping things up:


ive made far more raffles than i was expecting this week, so its nice to see ill be well above 200 raffles by the end of the event! the event even got extended by a day due to an bug earlier this week, so ill be able to get even more. i also have to farm another set of valentine basket etcs which makes me unhappy but i suppose i cant be mad with another day of bonus experience. speaking of experience, i was very close to getting my goal of 196 before this journal entry...which im quite happy to see! i definitely coulda gone there but this sudden spring cold got me all fucked up since last weekend (it didnt become bad until tuesday though). ill likely be leveling up tonight though so i aint too mad either way. 4 levels feels so close, yet i know its still a long way to go with this damn experience scaling. ill try to keep up this momentum and maybe ill be able to get 200 even sooner than i originally planned, which would be sometime in may. we'll have to find out together though as itll come down to my motivation and free time. otherwise, my mesos have been going up at a decent rate against since im making money from farming Crimson Guardians weirdly enough. next week i plan to continue the same ol thing, to which next week's journal entry will include the results of the raffles and what not since the event will be ending next week. i will likely continue what ive been doing during the event post event, but i am also thinking about cutting out Nibelung since experience to hour wise vs Crimson Guardians its pretty bad, but ill think about that one. the strive for 200 continues otherwise! with that said, its time to go into the usual FUMO transition and Chloe side of this week's journal entry!


FUMO TIME!!!! and this week is a bit different...


because i got a new FUMO!!! another one of my pre-orders came in, and now i can finally participate in Cirno FUMO memes!!! i do like this design a lot so i am happy i was able to pick this one up when it was availble. its hard to see in the photo but the pink sprinkled all over her outfit is a nice touch to her other colors like the green bow (yes its green despite how the photo may look). i have 2 more coming supposedly this may along with a lil figure so i am looking forward to when that time comes...but ill have to be patient until then. speaking of may...


it has been quite the week for Chloe! and not in a good way me thinks. she hasnt been super happy with the walking overall...which is to be expected since we're taking control and power from her and she doesnt like that. shes also dug under our backyard fencing multiple times this week alone even after making efforts to fortify everything etc., which is a big no-no. while she hasnt wandered far every time shes gotten out, as well as immediately come back to us once we found her, it is a bad behavior to be doing altogether. our new solution unfortunately as of today is to now put her on a lead tied around our wooden deck while she is in the backyard by herself, because she is too curious and determined to dig out if left on her own. it feels kinda dumb to be doing this in our own backyard that has fencing all over, but alas it has to be done. shes been a bit of a pain this week to say the least, but i suppose its been worse in the past :`) hopefully we can start going uphill again, even if its slowly. also hoping that her desire to dig out and explore beyond our backyard doesnt last very long, but i got a bad feeling about that one. otherwise, she is doing just fine health wise and all that. that said, i aint got much else to talk about so i shall photo dump now and see yall...soon enough!

 

HELLO CHAT AND GAMERS IM BACK WITH A TECHNICALLY POST EVENT JOURNAL ENTRY!!! ignore the fact that the event has been done for only like 25 hours or some shit by the time this is posted teehee. before diving right into the more fun stuff, i do have a "Who the Hell Wasted a Buddy List Spot for the Beaver?"™ mention for this week:


bart at it again it seems. to quote him and a certain mollusk..."hes so obsessed with me" anyway, thats all the additions i got this week, so its time to do the usual count up:


so many friend! i still cant believe over 100 of you dinguses decided to add me (yes i am accounting for the fact that like 20 of the igns on my buddy list are just Gurks) on my stinky ironman character, but i suppose im not much better for accepting the adds eh? anyway, lets move on with the actual journal content, starting with the PB stuff:


this week was back to the normal stuff, which means i had SE, MW30, Echo, Ciders (20 WA), and 2 bishops in my party to give Holy Shield. i also managed no deaths, to which im glad ive gotten largely consisted with the whole dying thing. i recently looked at my pb run count vs deaths, and im at 24 runs and 8 deaths...which aint a bad ratio me thinks!

top line is a DPM23 during statues, which was bird last strategy like usual. unfortunately i did not play super well as i managed to fail 4 Active Berserks this week. 3 of them were due to me being bad and getting hit with stuns and what not, but 1 of them was due to an unlucky banish timing. with 2 banishes total and the 2 Holy Shields, i actually managed to not get seduced once during statues, which prolly is the main reason why my DPM stayed above 5mil despite the Active Berserk failings. i didnt play poorly while using Passive Berserk but my damage definitely goes down overall due to how often i am not getting the full 100% bonus due to having to be careful of not dying and what not. not a terrible performance altogether, but nothing superb either. its above 5mil so im glad to see despite an averageish performance its still hitting the minimum weekly goal i want.

bottom line is a DPM20 during main body, which i felt that i played a lot better in compared to my statues. i managed to get seduce 2 times, but i was also able to Will both of them right away for minimal DPM loss, so thats nice. i also managed to get 0 Active Berserk fails, which is always nice to see. i got close 2 times or so but close aint failing so i wont nitpick too much! the bean prolly had about an average wander time, maybe a bit above average overall, so overall i think this body performance wasnt too bad. a satisfactory PB performance this week overall me thinks, but theres always room to grow so i wont be getting complacent! with that, its time to move onto the event raffle stuff:


weow 322 raffles! definitely a bit more than i was expecting but no complaints from me. this is a nice number to see. as for how the raffles went...




i did do a lot of cleanup of the more "junk" like items, but this is effectively all the noteworthy items that i got. i also got like 30-40 raw coins from the raffles themselves, along with like 40-50 gacha tickets or something i believe, which yall will see when i go over this week's gachapon. all the Tangy Earrings being shown are 2/2 in STR/DEX, as i felt like those were the only ones worthwhile keeping. i did have two 1/2's but didnt feel like they were worthwhile keeping so i threw them out. it is sad i didnt manage to get the 3rd unique chair from the raffle but thats how it goes, nor am i that concerned about it. overall i managed to make like ~130 coins or so from this event after adding up the pouches, so thats nice to see! this event felt a lot better with putting in the effort to get raffles, since it felt easier to get them as well as felt more rewarding overall since individual raffles could just give me a coin. that said, me getting ~130 coins alone from this raffle means i have more than enough for another WS attempt on my AlchuPP!


i am now officially 0/20 on this spear...which is pretty tragic to think about. i am pretty numb to the failure at this point, but it really does showcase the fucked up nature of this game and how RNG loaded it can be. game rewards eh? the coin gathering and experience gathering continues regardless. i didnt do much else other than daily bossing and giga grinding at Crimson Guardians, so its time for me to get into those stats and the gachapon:


for those that pay attention, you might have noticed that this run count seems lower than normal. well, thats because you'd be correct! i decided come sunday that i will stop running Nibelung on my days off as well as stop running daily Burger Bot, and instead use that time to grind more at Crimson Guardians. at this point id rather spend that time getting more experience than getting some more coins, as getting 200 largely asap is now my main priority, to which vs grinding at Crimson Guardians these two bosses are less efficient for experience per hour. this also lets my schedule be a bit more flexible on my days off, which ill need since for example i am currently playing Dark Souls 3 Co-op with a friend, and our main playtime will be happening when i would normally run Nibelung. if things dont make sense currently or it feels like im not motivated to finish this AlchuPP...well worry not it will make sense sooner than later! the motivation isnt completely gone or that low, but i am not ready to reveal my hand just yet. anyway, its nice to see Burger Bot get me two pouches despite only running it for 3 days this week, so im glad even in the end it always provides :`)


and then you got clowns like Papulatus who only get me ONE pouch for the week!!! technically 1 more run in total vs Burger, and it gave me 1 less pouch!!! a pouch worth less nonetheless!!! shit boss i tell ya. at least Ravana is so back and getting me 3 pouches this week. Ravana is BACK!!! ok with that said its time to move onto my mountain of gachapon tickets:


that sure is a lot of tickets! i did mention earlier when going over my raffles that i got like 40-50 gacha tickets total or so from them (prolly more like 50-60 tbh). even without those tickets, i did manage to get quite a few this week compared to normal...which would make sense since i did spend more time farming overall this week vs the entire event. all that said, its time to dig into what kinda garbage all of these will give me:








well look at that! i may have gotten largely junk with some okish items, but its all made worthwhile with the Chaos Scroll. unfortunately i am outta Spear Att 10%'s so for now i shall hold onto this as a raw scroll in my CS inventory and get back to this later when im closer to 200 me thinks :`) im pretty happy to have gotten something though so i will not be complaining about this round of gachapon tickets for sure. that said, its time to wrap up the Beaver's side of this week's journal entry:


sadly while i did not get the level up i wanted...im not far off. i am hoping to get my level up come tomorrow, but we shall see on that one. ultimately, this is a lot faster pace than i was originally expecting, and not having to spend so much time soloing bosses like Burger Bot and Nibelung is helping a lot with that. i shall continue my intense grind before i crash out...hopefully! my expected plan right now is to get very close to 200 in the next 3-4 weeks or so, but we shall see on that depending on my schedule and what not. otherwise, meso go up from raw meso looting from Crimson Guardians and now its back to normal experience rates sadly. road to 200 is here and hopefully remains in full force with momentum! that said, i shall jump into the usual FUMO transitsion:


FUMO TIME!!!!



me whenever someone slightly annoys me or inconveniences me at a moment of time ^ ok dumb gags aside its time for what yall really love aka CHLOE!!!


not too much to report back for this week. we did quickly remove the leash around the deck in the backyard since we only needed it until my dad reinforced the fencing again (which i didnt realize thats why he did it in the first place oops). hopefully she doesnt get out anymore...or at least not so damn often! she has been doing really well on her walks with my dad as well, as from what he has told me she is largely pretty focused like shes supposed to be, and when she does start to wander off/get distracted, she quickly responds back from a tug by my dad and refocuses on the walk. truthfully she learned this waaaay quicker than we were expecting, which really adds to how smart she is when it comes to things like pattern recognition and what not. it does not seem to fully help with her rowdiness at home though, as she still has too much energy but that is something we'll be working on. she is getting a bit better with play overall, as she doesnt tire as quickly with the activities we do with her. her also responding more to going after tennis balls and what not also helps. with the weather warming up more and more on average, hopefully this means more opportunities to get her all the playtime in that she demands! otherwise, thats all i really have to report back about Chloe this week, other than the fact that she is doing great health wise. that said, i suppose ill finish this week's journal entry off with the usual Chloe photo dump and the usual i will see yall...soon enough!
