Dr Torsche's Basement Raid

Dr Torsche's Basement!

Guide:
http://bookofwind.blogspot.com/2010/05/mission-dr-torsches-mansion-basement.html

Basically, to start the raid: Minimum of 2 Maximum of 4.

Overview of the whole raid

Running into the first room

The second room

Yes, this is the amount of mobs that will be attacking you if you are at the middle of the room, the whole raid is lifeless be it mobs or boss. Each mob killed will drop a stone.


As you advance into each room, it gets harder and harder the mobs hit harder as well as has more amount of health.

This room, the 6th is the HARDEST of all rooms. You will be knocked back every few seconds or even consecutively for 2-3 times in a row. The AOEs HURT alot and your will not be able to cast any spells except instant cast ones.

The Last Room.

In this room, the most annoying thing is armor crasher which is very constantly affects your characters. Each time you get armor crashed, you will definitely die. The mob attack damage is quite high unless your are wearing ELNs, get ready your resuscitation potions.

Recommended armor for this raid would be at least LN and above, and hrins is a must!!

We managed to clear all 7 rooms, but apparently the warp that was suppose to appear on the 7th room did not appear due to a bug? Going to try again soon when im free from my work and part time study schedules.

Been busy and lots of screenshots have been stacking up in my SS folder, will back-date blog about them when im free!

Remote Blog!

Im blogging from my CCNA class, which im actually not suppose to -.- haha.

Mmm, boring class epic dryness. The more the merrier, but when too many are on the merry-go-round and it spins! EVERYONE FLIES lololol. Epic.

Some people change, really fast.
I wonder if they know it, maybe not, maybe so, maybe i just don't give a blazing fuck. Oh yes, I don't.

IPBFree is gone

IPB Free is gone for good? This is so unfortunate, GE's down and Symbol's forums is also down at the same period of them, getting in contact in the meantime would be a big problem. Our past posts and information is also lost. What a disaster. Here is some information on what actually happen:

http://37blog.tumblr.com/post/811072696/looking-grim?ref=nf

http://37blog.tumblr.com/post/811960301/for-those-that-missed-it?ref=nf

http://twitter.com/search?q=ipbfree

We'll probably have alot of problems this week as squad listings and such would be a problem and communication would be a hassle.

Currently all IPBfree forums are down.

A long 3 days...

A Long 3 Day Maintenance

A long 3 day break from Granado Espada, well it was a huge waste of my 30 day wings as well as premium treasure boxes. Ive also been getting 2 days of 3-player-game-losses getting 1 SC from it. Boo. Well, hoping that when the new sever migration is up the lag would be lesser and the crafting of stance rings would be re-implemented. As well as hoping that the compensation of 30 day premium items would be worthwhile the loss. In the mean time, my training of master elementalist and reckless has been put on hold due to IAH's long maintenance.

Things to do when sever is back up:
- Farming more Vet B cards
- Master all 3 of my Eles
- Maxing ETR and Master Wizard's stances (Madness & Power of Darkness)
- Mastering 2nd Calyce
- Mastering Ania
- Crafting Elite El-Sol (Possibly 2x) or Black Bishop

Regarding Madness & Power of Darkness:-

Madness:
I seriously don't know how to max them out, i have sat through a whole 2 afternoon potting my reckless emilia (now expert) and it has only reach stance level of 17, after past 20 i think it would take way longer than just 2 more afternoons to max it out.

Power of Darkness:
Having my wizard at master level, it would take a even longer time to max out the stance compared to madness, which i probably would spend more than a week trying to max out the stance. (Baw) But it is no hurry as i am not using my wizard/reckless for cw or pvp, just for lulz.

Please Fxxk Off.

WARNING:

The next few paragraphs are extremely insulting please exercise caution and if you are unable to take extremely prejudice comments, i urge you not to read on even if you are curious as what i have concluded.

Id really appreciate you little fuck, to fuck off and stop hitting on my girlfriend in-game. You are married so please go screw your wife. Stop your sarcastic remarks, my girlfriend can do whatever she wants and you don't have to give any comments so please go Fuck Yourself.

If you want to hit on girls in-game and in your school; oh wait i heard that you hit on your female students where you teach in. Gosh, what is happening to the world of education? Oh back to the hitting on girls, please go fuck your wife instead. I fucking pity your wife.

Idiots like that, should just die. I really hope you get divorced soon, and you can live in a brothel and get AIDS so the world would be purged of idiots like you. If i were in your country, id run you over with a car and twist your head off :D OH YEA tip for you: GO FUCKING FAP TO PORN.

Question: Are you are deeply affected by this post, you are feeling sore and you feel like punching my face?
Yes? READ THE RED CAUTIONARY SIGNS IDIOT, AND THEN GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH A PENCIL IN THE NOSE. I didn't force you to read this post so bugger off ^^

BOB THE BUILDER! CAN WE FIX IT? NO WE CANT ):

Cautionary Warning:
If you are prone to trolling, please do not continue to read this post. You are reading at your own risk.

BOB THE BUILDER!

We were just afking peacefully in Zone 1 of IOF, suddenly some retard out of nowhere comes in and ks-es my friend with a jack-ele(?)-scout, and built turrets around my friend. Which is extremely entertaining to watch since he wasn't ksing us much our exp gain was not affected, but yet looking at such a retard trying with such effort to ks by build turrets around him. So, we just continued to laugh at such amusement until my ETR hit 84 (which we would then proceed to change spots).

Oh look! Its a KSer.

After i was done leveling my etr, i wanted to speak with him. NO KSER GOES UN PUNISHED!
No reply. So.... count to 10! and... BOMBS AWAY!

Have a vald my friend! But not a desired effect of screaming death and all... so...........

ITS TIME FOR THE SEXY PLAYBOY PLAYMATE CENTERFOLD SEXY THORA!!!!!
First, his chars got killed then he started running..... ))):

When i asked if he needed help.. HE SCOLDED ME ):
I just wanted to be his friend, he told me to "smd" probably (Suck My Dic*), but he kept running refusing to let me get close ):

Since he didnt want playboy playmate(thora) , i give him fat girl (vald), and he seemed too like it alot.

After a while, i got bored of him running from the thora, so i just summoned valds for him to play with, its was super amusing to see him constantly building up new turrets to replace the old ones that got busted by the valds, it amazingly continued for around 7-8 spinelles, when each spinelle got low on HP, i would walk over and summoned a new one. Finally when we got bored of the show, i summoned a thora, but he ran again, this time far far away... so we got bored and went to Skullic AT and gave him 1 last msg..


Guess he didnt want to show me that he didnt have a dick or too small ):

A before hand notice to ppl interested to flame on my comments:
If your interested to flame in my blog, i urge u not to, u read at ur own risk; so fuck off if ur pissed, i told u not to read asshole and go fuck yourself with a pencil. Thank you.

Chipping..... OTL

If your feeling sad about your chipping stats? Here's 2 items that were chipped by me, which i hope will make you feel better.....

1stly, Forest Whisper

34atk! 23SP!! 90% Huma- wait... 37% human...... 90% Daemon........
Man if the human and daemon swapped, it would be hell of a staff with the 3x attack as well as the now-very-important SP boost of 23%

15 Def! 21% HP!! Eh wait.. where's the 3DR..........

Yes.. this is how bad my chipping luck is...........

Path of 4.5 (WAYY overdue post, again)

Holy Water Chamber Main Questline

The usual bug, which did not reconize Emilia the Sage. Thank goodness i kept and made a normal Emilia back during the Hellena days (which was also bugged when it was first released).

Killing mobs, FYI the spiders ARE level 120. At first i thought they were low level spiders then halfway through the boss then i realized they were high level ones and the web was annoying. So please.. kill them first before engaging the boss.

Up close stats on the boss (note the spiders are not dead).
Melee characters are not very advised here as the boss constantly moves back due to the range of the boss's attack and chasing it down with your melee can prove to be a pain, as well as your musketeer will constantly get out of range.

After the first boss is down, next one to go! (The next one is waaaayyyy more irritating than the first one).

This boss has a irritating debuff that renders your character unable to move/attack/pot, so therefore progressive health fillers are important if your character hp depletes fast.

Note the sudden green chat, yes. I have been invited back into faction at THIS time ._. which was an epic bad timing i was potting nonstop while the notification popped up. I could only take the screenshot when i got knocked back after potting up my health.

Boss-ing Essential Tips:
1st boss is human, 2nd is Daemon.
Mind Resist Pots, very important which lowers the change of being debuffed.
Hrin Pots
Triumph Fillers, help to bridge the AR/DR of yours and the boss's if needed
Progressive Health Fillers, can save a character that is being affected by the debuff. Select an undebuffed character and use a filler!

Reckless Emilia Recruitment Quest

Bossing Tips:
-Place your characters as far away as possible from each other, the room is extremely small thus her large aoe will affect both characters even though it is only targeted at 1 character if your characters are placed too closely together.
-Use Mind Resistant Potions, as wizard skills require high mental resist to prevent getting debuffed! Use them!
-Bring a resser to ress Jean (if you've decided to omit him from the fighting party and leave him dead) after killing Emilia, you will need Jean to talk to her to finish the quest. (If you want to save up on SCs and you have a fighting capable resser)
- Watch the time! If you are not confident, using hrins and tf will greatly help, I didnt use hrins (broke).
- Her race is human, so i believe most pvpers will be extremely happy.

Reckless stats, and yes.. my reckless emilia is called emolia.

Reckless up close and personal.

New, Arsene's Secret Vault Raid

We did not complete the quest, due to a lack of tankers and our hellena died in 3rd room.
A master hellena on elb would be the most suitable and alot of aoe is needed in the mobbing room as the mobs spawn at a very fast speed and your need tankers to keep them off your hellena.

We have yet to complete the quest till date, we will be planning another trip down to the secret vault to attempt to complete it again.

Where do i go now? // 4.5 Finally....

Where Do I Go From Here?

Factionless again.... Crackspada members have finished our haitus and have decided to go our own ways. Where do i go from here?... Small faction? Stay factionless? Back to symbols? Quit the game? Where do i go?.... Who Knows (again)....

4.5? Finally...

http://ge.iahgames.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=1426
Manual Patch (4.5) or Full Client

Finally its out on the 24th June, although not the full release patch details have been released but still finally the long awaited 4.5 has been released. Finally there would be new content and new raids to try out, and new quest to finish. Seems interesting, but as usual when the patch is complete... new problems will arise! Same old same old.... We shall see on Thursday when its out. I'll probably only get home around midnight and try it only after emergency maintenance and some major problems are rectified. (Downloading the manual patch now though, dont want to wait for the automatic patching ~_~)

Empty, as always

Empty Vessels Makes the Most Noise, Especially In Bulks. They're like a orchestra of empty vessels, when alone and beaten... what happen to the noise? D:

Isit the end?

Will this be the end of my sGE story? Might be moving on to another game soon, will i stay or will i move on?... who knows... maybe 4.5 will tell....

sGE has been becoming boring, nothing new and interesting to do. Afk-ing is becoming a chore and thats the only thing that can be done in GE, no new raids, the old ones are already dominated by the big 4. The game has become stale, with nothing new same old thing, different day. The only action lies in the 2 hour of every Sunday.

Should i stay, or should i not....
