I'm weak! I suck at this game. Falknor just witnessed it first-handed. :-X

I'm not used to my new sword (Caliber -> Cutter) too... it is also low level, doing half the damage of my old sword. When my mist refill tomorrow, I shall spend sometime solo, practicing the timing of my swinging and blocking. Often I am unable to have my shield up when I need it.

I didn't notice it. You seemed to be doing fine on my end.
The program was freezing every 10-20 seconds and slowly getting worse. So, I'm sure I missed how bad you were doing  ;D

All I saw was me lagging into spikes and monsters... and bombs oh, so many bombs  8)

I don't have a choice :P
Can't melee the big group, and my 1-star freeze gun is a pea shooter. So I swapped it with a 1-star bomb, which can at least deal some damage.

You call that gun bad?

I'm using a pummel gun...

Anyone want to go adventuring? Preferrably towards the jelly king.

I trained for a bit and seem to be a little better at timing my shield.

Now I need to wait for mist to craft three items: wolver coat (2 star), jelly helm (2 star) and the shadow gun (2 star). Energy prince is still going up, it's 5.3K now.

Lately I think I'm having more fun goofing around in the ingame market than I am going in the clockworks.

Spent about 30 minutes just now playing around on the energy market. I saw an unusually large spread between the buy and sell offers (buy offers at 5100, sell offers at 5300) and played that back and forth until the gap closed tighter. At first I was making about 90 credits per trade, but that started to shrink as the gap shrunk up. I stopped when the buy offers had risen to about 5200 with sell prices at 5310 (meaning the profit per sale was very, very slim with the 2% seller's fee). Ended up having about 25k energy pass through my hands and making about 10k credits. Started with 1200 energy and ended with 1400.

 Hey Jelly Dunkers, if you run into the Dusker recipes or the t3 cutter recipe, could ya buy it for me? I'll try to pay you back for the cost and a little extra, but the 9k markup on the market is more than i really want to part with.

4 man team died at Royal Jelly over 8 times each. (Except me. I died twice :P)
One guy spent an untold amount of energy reviving us all. In the end we gave up anyways :/

Massive difficulty leap forward. Especially after soloing the Snarbolax. And one man had a Cold Iron Vanquisher.

ign is Acperience btw

Just used my mist today.

When I started:
663 crowns
74 (mist) + 8 (crystal) energy

Reaching Mooncraft Manor (includes selling minerals for 60 crowns):
3470 crowns
20 + 8 energy

I cleared all the maps thoroughly. For two lichen levels I also herded them around and let them merge into lichen colonies. Do I get more loot if I let them grow?

So that's 70 energy for 2800 crowns, or 1 energy for 40 crowns. Market price for energy is hovering above 5200, and I met a guy called Mephistopheles yesterday trading 1 CE for 52 crowns. The market price doesn't look so crazy now!

How much do you get for completing tier 2? My gear's heat levels are a bit low for doing tier 2 right now... upon entering the dot's near orange.

Sorry about disappearing on that jelly run. My power suddenly went out, along with my cable internet. Whatever it was took out both the cable and the internet at the same time, since even with my battery backup I lost internet connection at the same time. Took them almost four hours to get the power back, and a bit longer for the cable.

I'm guessing maybe some drunk hit a power pole nearby or something, since the weather wasn't that bad (light sprinkles of rain, no thunder that I could hear).
