Wow, that new respawn in Abyss is insane...
FAS Snipers are now the kings of all killers.

[GvS]

It's hard to make good party there now. There is too many pullers and not enough good killers, HPs and scholars. I've struggled for two hours trying to create party. Scholars left because they had no bard, bards left because they had no scholar, when I finally got them both, HPs were afk or DCed and some killers left to other party. We got 85 lvl high priests with crappy gear, who called us "fail party" and left, we got retarded scholar who entered lvl 3 before everyone was ready, died and rage quit immediately. But finally, we created really awesome party with two FAS snipers, good sinX, sac pally, nice scholar, who gave me 50 gwings, two pullers and 3-4 priests (no HP for like 2 hours, he joined later with new scholar)

After maintenance it's much easier to pull and much easier to get mobbed and die, but snipers on sacrifice can clear even 10+ mobs. There was some scholar yesterday who mobbed like half of map and dropped it on various parties. After few tries he didn't visit our party anymore :)

With some of the guild members seriously looking forward to transing within few weeks and with some more more or less actively joining it might be a good time to think about guild future. I assume that the goal is to have some fun in WoE. Likely there are 4 ways to do it (starting from the ones requiring most effort to the ones requiring least).

1) Recruit more members and become a serious WoE guild - since we have many people leveling daily new members will at the very least not quit with 'qq noone plays'. Becoming a serious WoE guild however requires a lot of time and resources, with no guarantee of success on such a big server.
2) Ally with some strong guild - Provided any will want us as allies. I think this is my favorite option, provided we get a decent ally.
3) Merge with another guild - Joining a big guild was an option when there were 4 of us playing. Now likely not all of us will want to merge into something new and absorbing a smaller guild means the effort needed for option 1).
4) Be a rogue guild and just form a single friend party that will try to wreak some havoc. - We can randomly join WoEs than, but if action in all castles is similar to what can be seen on Valkyrie guild movies, we have little chance to achieve anything.

As I have stated - allying a big guild is something I think would work the best. Unfortunately I am not sure if top guilds would welcome a 10 man guild with low attendance as their ally.

We were discussing 3) year ago and we decided to create our own guild instead. It's fun to see many people online every night even if some of them are focused on PvE, so I think we should stay as PvE/WoE guild instead. Besides, that's sole reason why I'm making a stalker as guild leader.

We should start with number 4) and believe me, this can be fun. Small party of pro people can make a difference on WoE. There are 20 castles open and only few big alliances, I'm sure we can find good place of us (and make some cool WoE movies). I got ally offer from guy who told me that his "alliance" got 3 wizards so with our two we could make good precast!

After some time, if people hear about us and maybe see our emblem on castle flag, we could try 1) focusing, like we always did, on getting nice and friendly people. If we succeed, we can try going to number 2).

For now let's focus on PvE. We need good MvP setup so we could get rich and afford WoE supplies.

Seems like there is a Louyang quest incomming at some point of time after AL event. I wonder, Lou3 has a horrible layout and the spawns for, say Green Maiden, are very low. Maybe it will worh somehow, however, so keep your eyes open for gear for Lou3. Everything there is medium size and most of stuff is Wind property. Also note, that it seems that those quests will be on a cooldown timer ;/

Ok, I guess it is high time to start doing Rachel Sanctuary quest. Rachel Sanc is supposed to be a good place to level wizards (good mobbing possibilities here), is a pre-req to enter NI and you gain the access to it before receiving final exp reward, so you can keep it and turn in at more appropriate time. For me that time is now, as the quest awards 600k job exp and will make reaching j50 easier.

Almost the entire quest is just walking and talking to NPCs, so anyone can do it on their own. The descriptions on wiki are pretty accurate. To do it you need to buy 20 firecracers in Hugel and get 40 glacial hearts we have gathered as a guild for that purpose. Please get the hearts from GvS or from my char. The final step of the quest requires walking through first level of the dungeon. It turned out to be to hard for my high archer, even with help of our kind high priestess. But tonight I intend to attempt it again. Should anyone do the first steps before I come online, they would be welcome to join. Good DPSers are especially welcome, as Sat can tank there well enough, provided someone can (unlike me) kill before assu runs out.

There is one prereq for this quest and that is Lost Child quest: http://irowiki.org/wiki/Lost_Child_Quest . The quest awards 900k base exp which unfortunately you have to turn in before proceeding, but hopefully you will not consider it a waste.

After completing the Lost Child quest you can do the main quest:http://irowiki.org/wiki/Rachel_Sanctuary_Quest . Step 14 requires you to walk through first level of Holy Ground and this is where I am stuck atm.

Maybe tonight it will be less mobby, maybe not, but I intend to finish it tonight either way.

2x exp event has started for one week. Also this is the last week of dragon event and dragon turnin exp has been increased 1.5 time. Also a Louyang event has started - http://irowiki.org/wiki/Dano_Festival_E ... 0/06/10%29 . Note that one of the possible rewards - Sohee Egg - is worth 100 mil atm...

Kirk, I tried to PM you half of the weekend to give you guild invite, but couldn't get you. Could you PM one of us when you are on? IGNs in first post of this thread. http://forum.multiworld.pl/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=314

-----------
My minstrel is still down in AL so if anyone (especially our guild wizards) want to use it to get invites to dragon party, feel free to do it. I would rather you not drop me to 0% exp, but if you do, then it is not a problem at my current level. I have also brought Chimeria's dancer down there, so you can GK out of party as well.

[Crow]

I have changed the passes for Chimeria, as it was annoying to look for the old one every time I wanted to log her. Her new passes are now the same as for my main.

Also, 1WingedAngel - Sage.. I'm on a lot of times they are not, so PM me anytime.
