Where's my Ruby?!

So I'm lvl 45 now on Allods. Rezardi and I have both been playing LoveGuardian and managed to gear him slowly from astraling. I still consider him a bit undergeared but he can still pull off a nice dps (when I'm not lagging to hell) despite his low mediocre stats.

I managed to get Juggs rank in PvP at the Arena of Death. I went to the npc that gave the extra ruby and he didn't give me the quest for it. I was and still am mildly upset about it. I REALLY wanted that extra ruby to help my build.

I also bought 3k of gpotatos but it was a day too late for the chip sale. Instead I spent 1k on 2 Water of Deaths (one to change the build....and another to change it back after I found out the initial build sucked haha). I also bought a bigger bank so Rezardi can stop throwing quest items out of my bag for room for astral gear haha. I still have 1k left but I'm saving it for something that I really might need in the future. (still waiting on that 2nd ear slot Gpotatos)

I been slowly trying to get my guild loyalty up to 100 so I could get my regalia. I find it a bit insulting that I actually haven't gotten it yet. I joined clan rain , the same guild as the Rozetri during the days of Pearz leadership. During my schooling there was a merger between multiple guilds and they created Valiance. I joined right back up the day I got back to allods after school was done and right when I got my loyalty near 100, school started again and I had to put the game down. (meaning slowly but surely my loyalty dropped back to 10 due to inactivity).

Now I returned and I'm working my way back up to 100 loyalty, but it's slow and tedious. Especially when I can't complete one of the quests due to not having a ship to astral on; but I've been with this guild leader (and guild) for about 2 years now. I think the loyalty factor is already there; just not on paper. Sorry that I'm not using Symbols of Glory to cheat my way to 100 or anything but comon? I don't know; I just feel insulted and a big neglected by not having a Regalia. By the time I get 100 loyalty I think school will start again and my loyalty will drop AGAIN due to inactivity....really? I just feel a bit slapped in the face. All I want from the regalia is the minor stat boosts and to be able to AC with the guild; be actually INVOLVED with the guild like I'm contributing something. Not feeling like some leecher or garbage on the sidewalk that they only keep around because I give awesome beer.

Gpotato also initiated a password policy. You must change your password every 3 months now. I already changed mine but I find it a bit annoying to do. They also spam this BIG RED MESSAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FUCKING SCREEN TO BUY STUFFIES FROM THEM that annoys the hell out of me especially when I'm in the middle of killing mobs or questing.

It's a bit hard to generate or save any money in this game. There are A LOT of money sinks in here and it feels like any money you make; there's always a money sink somewhere to gobble it up (aka refining - gemstones - runes - myprh - ship - pots - mount feed, ect ,ect ,ect). I don't know how I am going to save up money for something I want/need with all these leeches sucking on my money.

Anyway, when things settle and I get further into my wold mysteries and better gear I might settle down a bit and work on other stuff. I been wanting to do my trainer quests for that ruby. I heard it was ridiculous but I managed to download that gemfinder addon to make life x10 easier.

Back to Allods Update

Well since school has been out; I've literally cooped myself up at home and played allods as much as I can. I must say I am a little bit disheartened and disappointed that it is summer and ever since school has been out; it's been windy, chilly, and cloudy. I do not intend on playing allods as much as I currently am but with the weather as it stands; I lack motivation to do any other activity.

I played allods the second I got home. There was a lot of catching up to do. There is SEVERE inflation in the Auction House market combined with greedy players. It is also turning into a game where "Whoever buys the most wins" which to me is almost a reason to drop the game now.

Nevertheless I grinded away and after a week and a half; I went from a warden who had full epics and was still undergeared - to a lvl 44 warden who has completed his time traveler rep. and expidentary corp. rep.

One thing I am gritting my teeth about is the 2nd ear slot option that you can only get after opening radiant boxes (cash shop item) and receiving XX amount of coins to get the 2nd ear slot. Mind you, a 2nd ear slot makes quite a big difference in stat distribution.

There is also a 30% discount on chip sale which I am mildly debating on dumbing some cash in. I'm not sure if I want to do it or if I will at all but it does seem like an opportune time.

I will reach lvl 45 soon and unlock my 2nd tier spells and the first thing I will go for is the version 2 Aqua Vitae. I also need to get my LONG LONG overdue Judge ruby and trinket (it's the ruby that's the important thing) and with that ruby I'll finish off my rank 3 Natural Balance.

Also at lvl 45; I'll be able to astral again. Who knows what gears I will get and also how much more OP I will get. With this new patch, wardens are now the biggest DPS of all classes. I chuckle at the days when we were a joke now.

Rezardi has been helping me loads as well though so I can't take tons of credit. He's already lvl 45 and astraling but I'll be catching up hopefully. He's been nice enough to send me caster gear that he comes across and I did manage to use a few of them.

As I was NPCing most of my gears after I got the rep. gears. I looked at the last old piece I had left and decided to keep it for sedimental reasons. It was my Shirt gear. It was the oldest and one of the first epic pieces I got from astraling with Pearz, Rho, and Cody. I kinda miss em so instead of npcing the shirt; I stored it in my bank for good memories.

Allods aside; my boyfriend is on vacation in California and won't be back till this Monday. Kinda miss him. He pretty much thinks he won the jackpot with me and has no intentions of leaving me which is good because I value loyalty. However he's also the less level-headed one of the two of us. I realize we've only been together since the end of February; which isn't long. I'm still unsure of our future and my feelings for him. I think time will only tell. He's a great catch and good guy (just like the last one). Just like my ex he is also in the closet. I'm not asking to have buttsex in the middle of the street; but it'd be nice to hold hands in public or just do stuff together in public view without caring instead of concealing behind closed doors. This is what broke me and my ex up...and it's the same problem here. I think eventually we will need to have a talk but for now; I'm content.

P.S. Muxy, Ejac, and Rozetri still play allods. Love you Muxy =P

P.S.S. I am entrolled into University of Bloomington in the fall. I already know I'm going to miss my Holy Cross College friends but I'm excited and nervous for Bloomington. God knows I'll visit HoCro throughout the year though.

Free at Last!

Finished college today. I am currently sitting next to about 8 bags of clothes and possessions. I'll be returning home in about an hour or two. Transferring from one prison to another.

I am so very anxious on getting back to allods. I don't even think I'll be unpacking. I've also gotten my boyfriend interested in allods as well, not sure how this will play out but I do have Sacred Sunrise; a pally holy build alt waiting if he wants to duo.

Ironic because allods has gay marriage now.

If you're wondering why I havent talked about this particular man; it's cuz I was never sure on where we were going. Though things seem to be more deeper now. I'm not sure if our relationship will last when I go to bloomington; but rest assured he's set the bar very high.

Anyway now that I'm free from college; my only concern is what my final grades are, getting my license, and working on my bloomington registration classes lol.

This summer will most definitely be a blast.

Finals Week/ Hell Week.

I always find it ironic how I end up in predigamentaly ironic situations. Out of 5 finals; I am exempt from 4 of them. Unfortunately, I have a C+ in Public Relations; my grades in his quizzes being D-A-D-A-C-B. I know there's a trend. So even though I don't have to take this final; I have to in order to raise that C+ into maybe a B- or even a B.

Then there's my psychology final which I also don't need to take. However as it currently stands I have a B in that class. Her rules are that if you are exempt; your final can replace your lowest test score. Out of 4 tests; my lowest test score was a 40% due to the fact that I studied chapter 5+6 over a test on chapters 3+4 (supreme failure). So I have to take the final to replace that score and all I need is a 70% to get an A-.

Lastly there is a retarded chemistry final I have to take which I am not exempt from. This final is where I will need a miracle due to the fact that I think I have a C or a D in the class (or I'm being paranoid.)

Anyway, I cannot wait to head back to allods when I get back and school is over.

I was on a few days ago just to say high and catch up. I feel really unmotivated to play catch up with my warden again. Everyone is level 45 while I linger at lvl 42.

I love my pally alt way more then my own warden at this point. I finally got Sacred Sunrise on him and it is absolutely devastating. Most of the mobs die in 2 hits; retribution > Sacred Sunrise. No runes yet either.

I wonder if I can get my pally to be my main cuz it is way more fun.

P.S. . . . . how the hell do you make gold with this new patch? I was looking at the rep gear in the new land: 391 gold per epic piece? There has to be some way of obtaining that largely amount of gold without farming right? . . . .Someone please share cuz the price tags alone make me want to give up on my warden. Not to mention I still linger at lvl 4 runes...I'd like to fund them at least to lvl 6.
