Ragnarok Renewal : 1st week (Part Three)
So to recap, here's my progress:
First day (2010-10-12):Before: Lv01 Novice ■
After: Lv26 Magician ■
Second day (2010-10-13):Before: Lv26 Magician (Pre-renewal) ■
After: Lv48 Magician (Renewal) ■
Third day (2010-10-14):Before: Lv48 Magician ■
After: Lv56 Magician ■
Fourth day (2010-10-15):Before: Lv56 Magician ■
After: Lv73 Sage ■


That was all for Charlotte Ainsfield's (シャルロット・エインスフィールド) development. Fifth day came, and it wasn't really promising. I decided to make a redhead merchant, Amane Fujimiya (藤宮　あまね -- wow, I can write Kanji!) because I really needed a vendor...or should I say, I needed money. I don't have any cash as I write this down for three reasons: One, I don't have any jobs, even part-time ones; two, it's the end of the semester; three, I can't sell ANYTHING to make money. I doubt anyone would want my trash in my cabinets.

Well I got her to at least Lv25 before I switched to Charlotte and did some daily quests like:
  • Alberta Cargo Quest (which gives at least 2.1M BExp at Lv98)
  • Order of Odin Quest (aka Premium Quest -- which gives about 1.3M BExp / 450K JExp)
  • Messenger Quest (varies, gives at least 1.5M BExp / 300K JExp when delivery is @ Turtle Island)
  • Mage Hunter Quest (EXP is not that high, but I'm only doing this for the Hairband of Reginleif)
  • Church Donation Quest (doesn't give much below Lv98; 2M+ BExp w/ buffs)
  • Army Supplies Quest (doesn't give much UNLESS you use Yggdrasilberries; gives 2M+ BExp at most)
  • Capturing Sticky Rats (gives 1.3M BExp and a free headgear too)

This is what I got after 6/7 quests. Like I said, I don't do the Mage Hunter quest just because it gives EXP, I only do it because I want to get the big reward. Oh and at this rate, you can earn 5~7 levels each day. On Lv97 25% to Lv98 0%, you can have your aura in less than 10 minutes with this. It's really handy since people are still not used to the new grinding mechanics.

So the sixth and seventh day were really slow, I mean, my killing rate is. My magic is just doing scratches on monsters and it takes a heck just to kill one, not to mention the dangers of getting killed during grinding.

I'm grinding south of Veins by the way, the gateway to the Nameless Island. There're Stapos out there, also included are a bunch of immobile creatures Drosera and Muscipular, the former being the more annoying one. It has longer range when you're diagonally positioned to it. The other one's not a real threat though, it only attacks you when you're really near it.

This is what I'm talking about by the way:

BEFOREAFTER
This is what I could afford on a couple of RoK points. Sorry :|

It's really clear the MATK is bugged. This is a big issue, as the Mage-types are really left behind at the beginning of the Renewal season. This is a really bad start, I guess I should have made swordsman like I always do. But then again, it's going to be a Rune Knight and unfortunately, the quest is also bugged. The Guillotine Cross-class is also off to a bad start as they also have problems like the RKs do.

So the final rundown:
