Pioneering Journal - Update 10

Haven't written an entry for about two weeks now, so I'll compile everything that's happened this last 2 weeks!

Although first, I didn't join in the previous' Alliance War, so there's no update on the current AW scores.


The first week are just the usual, however pemuda is currently on semi-hiatus status on sGE. The usual raids, with usual loots. Basically, nothing much happened on the first week. However, many things happened on the second week. Right after the v9.5 update on sGE, many new raids are available, and many of those are veteran level raids.

Not to mention of the half price for most roulette rewards, the roulette's drop rate is pretty nice. New raids on the Nimrod Bridge, new Bounty Hunter maps, all of it have a really good item rate. Also, on v9.5, Ludin and Veronif is now available to recruit. Natalie and Daria will have to wait longer though. There's also new quests, and many other things.


For the XIII faction members, we've a lot of progress this week. First of all, AXcom finnaly mastered Gracielo, and finishes his MMA quest. That being said, he also obtained Reckless Emilia card soon after. ReiriKai tried doing the Valeria recruitment quest, and manages to finish it in around 20 minutes, and got himself her card. FenHuang also managed to finish both of his Arsene Circus questline, and finally obtained Ania card.

Earlier on the day I wrote this entry, pemuda, Pupuzz, ReiriKai, and me entered Castilla, Mine to do a full run. However, Pupuzz and ReiriKai got disconnected, and leaves us two until we finally managed to down Dekaravia. Luckily, pemuda got the quest item drop from Dekaravia, and now has finished the Castilla, Mine questline.


As for me, I finally get my Ludin card and her Efreet stance. Ludin's quest is pretty funny, and I managed to get some screenshots of it.




The Clock Tower's 9th and 10th floor are pretty insane, but our squad have a lot of IMBA DPSers and downed the 9th floor boss in just around 15 minutes. As for the 10th floor, everyone got killed by the sudden Rotating Blade traps.

  • [Master] Gracielo - AXcom

Pioneering Journal - Update 9

Nothing much happened this week, so this will be a short entry.

ReiriKai has started his Lionel quest, pemuda is doing the Jenia quests, Tjakep can now buy expert stances from Emilia, and FenHuang is still stuck with the Quartz quest from Bahama.


This week's loots from daily raids etc. is really, really crappy. Castilla, Mine won't even give us Chips to farm. Fury Farm is just the usual crap, and Joaquin Barrier Siege... just Emeralds, Honors, and Portable ASOs.

From now on, every AW update will be held into one post here: Alliance War Update


Lastly, congratulation for this week's promoted characters:
  • [Master] Valeria - Skinny
  • [Expert] Gavin Jameson - Skinny
  • [Veteran] Brunie Etienne - FenHuang
  • [Veteran] Lisa Lynway - FenHuang

Pioneering Journal - Update 8

Quite an eventful week! Sadly, the Christmas event is coming to an end, some of us got some costumes, and some do not. Although, thanks to this event, my Reckless Emilia finally got her Master Stimulation.


This week, pemuda managed to obtain the ([Croisement] Stance Book), and soon after, ReiriKai also got his Raven and his exclusive stance too! Tjakep is finally finishing the Bahama questline, and is currently doing the Zeia quests.

This week's AW is kinda weird, since both me and pemuda entered on Souveran side. It was pretty fun killing AXcom and BlackcatXXX though.


For this week's loot, Limsiang actually managed to get two necklaces, an Enhanced Physical RES Necklace and an Enhanced Ice RES Necklace from Demonic Skull Dungeon. Everyone else's just got crappy loots. Oh, and someone managed to get an Elite Rescue Suit from Joaquin Barrier Siege.
