Pioneering Journal - Update 13

I kind of forgot to update last week, so here we go!

Before I forget, I haven't joined Alliance War for quite some time now, so I don't know the scores for the previous AW.




First of all, something absurd happened. Someone managed to enhance a Rosa Matrimonio to +10! A GM also links his/her imba armor too.


I tried doing a couple of solo Castilla, Mine full run, and actually managed to kill Dekaravia. It was pretty tiring though. The loot isn't worth it either, as most bosses doesn't drop anything, and the roulette rewards are crap.

After today's maintenance, GE is somewhat updated by adding Natalie and Daria's recruitment quests. Natalie can be found in Frozen Plain.


Natalie's quest is really easy, and you will need to complete M'boma's extended quest in order to proceed with the quest. The only hard part of it is collecting 100 Wolf Meats, 100 Beets, and 10 Cabbages, and M'boma actually hates to collect them too.


He went mad and wanted to cook Panfilo instead!

Something's strange with Natalie's character model during the quest though.


Glow in the dark lips!

After finishing Natalie's quest, Daria's quest can be started, and she's located at Byron.


Such a strange name, how do you actually read that?


Daria's quest is really simple, you just have to go around Byron, triggering a short cutscene here and there, and in the end, she asks for 10 Wheels of Time from the Clock Tower raid. Once you gave her 10 Wheels of Time, you'll get her card.

As usual, congratulations for the promoted characters!
  • [Master] Soho - AXcom
  • [Master] Musketeer - Skinny
  • [Expert] Musketeer - AXcom
  • ...and maybe other characters that I don't know have promoted.

Pioneering Journal - Update 12

Here we go, update number 12! First of all, I kinda forget to update the Alliance War page, and since we're close to the next AW, I'll update the page after this Saturday's war.

Alright, now for this week's update!

As people should have realized by now, the pioneering statue memorial quests have disappeared, and have been changed with the 3 pioneering merchant system.


They are Vent, Magia, and Tempestar. Their shop is located on major cities, and they're selling elite Trump series weapons. Vent for melee, Magia for magic, and Tempestar for ranged equipments.


I managed to obtain a 100 purchase points on Vent, and tried the rank D promotion test. The test itself is actually pretty easy, but I can assure you that if you don't bring a tanker, you'll be annoyed by the constant knock-back by those spear-wielding enemies.


After achieving rank D, there's only 2 differences whatsoever from my experience.
  1. You can get up to 20 daily points from that pioneering merchant type.
  2. You can get another additional pioneering quest from the NPC in the fields/dungeons.

So far, the most absurd Rank-D quest must be the one in Porto Bello, Deck. Vent NPCs will ask you to kill 1 (one) Scarlet Claw enemy to finish the quest. You can easily kill 20 of them and get your 20 daily points.


Selva's stance, Rapida Espada, has been upgraded to an expert stance after the update. This is actually a great upgrade for those who have Selva already. Her stance level is dropped to level 14 the moment you bring Selva out, but all of your skill levels aren't resetted. This is what happens after Rapida Espada has reached level 25.


Levelling the Hermetisme stance is proven to be a pain in the ass. Both Unlimited Shot and Rapida Espada levels went up quite fast, but Veronif's Hermetisme is just painfully slow. To make things worse, Hermetisme uses the same bullets as other expert elementalists' stances, Elemental Spheres.


For the others, AXcom gets his Croisement Stance Book and Valeria card this week, and Pupuzz got his Nar card. That being said, nothing much is happening this week.

Congrats for this week's promoted:
  • [Master] Claire - pemuda
  • [Expert] Fighter - Limsiang
  • [Expert] Emilia Guilano - Limsiang
  • [Expert] Grace Bernelli - Limsiang

Pioneering Journal - Update 11


We have new loli users on our faction this week, and MILF users too!

Limsiang got his Vicente Rio Card, of course, by getting a +7 Pioneer's Combat Sword with sheer luck. As for the others...
  • ReiriKai - Lionel, Ludin, Veronif cards
  • AXcom - Raven, Lionel, Ludin, Veronif cards
  • pemuda - Reckless Emilia, Veronif card
'nuff said. Well, I'm not that lazy to write this update, so let me break these down.

First, because of the nerf on MMA quest, pemuda finishes his MMA quest using his expert Irawan (and he said it was really easy, too). Soon after, he, again, unwillingly created Jean-Pierre Gascon on his barracks to continue with Reckless Emilia's quest. Apparently, Reckless Emilia's quest has also been nerfed, so bad, he basically just pressed the Spacebar button and let 'em rip.


As for Veronif, running around and killing the ugly fat bat-like thing on Ice Wizard's Tower with an Absolute Ice debuff on AXcom is pretty harsh. But we managed to get her card anyways.

We also did Hellbreaker and Lavaleaf raids, and almost everyone has finished the start of Ludin's recruitment quest by killing those 2 bosses. Most is currently stuck on the Naraka part quest though.


By joining the Clock Tower raiders, AXcom and ReiriKai finally finished their Lionel quest, and entered the 10th floor to finally get their loli. Thanks to everyone who contributed with Clock Tower raids yesterday!

By the way, enhancing equipments have also been changed, and is waaay more cheaper than ever. People are getting +6 EMS, EDC, and many other equips by simply spending some Shiny Crystals. Not to mention a certain person's +7 Elite Schvarlier Slayer.

We've got lots of masters and experts this week!
  • [Master] Romina - BlackcatXXX
  • [Master] Musketeer - ReiriKai
  • [Expert] Fanie(?) - BlackcatXXX
  • [Expert] Claire - Locrian
  • [Expert] Karjalainen - pemuda
  • [Expert] Ludin - Skinny
  • [Veteran] Vicente Rio - Limsiang
  • [Veteran] Reckless Emilia - pemuda
  • [Veteran] Veronif - pemuda
  • [Veteran] Calyce - Tjakep
  • [Veteran] Veronif - Skinny

And Limsiang is going to join the experts lineup soon!


...Lionel's a sick pedo, and a siscon as well.
