Before the event,we went to lasta...
and get this baby...


















Guess who is the next slave for having it...= =
Well,good luck on event ^_^

Random

Well has been awhile while since I last posted, happen to have some time today so thought i get rid of some SS.

Nothing special tho most are just some random bosses.

Well still hoping for some big drops someday.
need $$ bad >_< bought that new toy off Lechat so i'm pretty much flat broke at the moment. Anyway goodluck everyone.

Study Break~!

I needed a break from studying, so I am posting...ZOMG thanks Nei! Only one more week for this semester and then I have over a month of break. I still have to work over break, and I will be busy with other things also, but...you better watch out cause I'm going big zz.

Start this off with another level screen..they all tend to look the same, but you only see the blue ring every so often.
Twinklefish sums up all of the drops over the last few weeks in this screen. It almost seems that the drops are worse after the drop event than they were prior to it..probably just means I have been getting unlucky bosses, but I will take this opportunity to complain all the same.

I have been meaning to do this in game for a while. I finally did it! I have completely reorganized and categorized my bookmarks. I was so happy when I finished that I had to post it haha. Pretty lame, maybe, but I like things in order.

I will see you all after finals^^.

Keep your chin up~!

Something Lucky

Well,I havent post any for a long time
These are some lucky things happened lately to share with you guys
after I blew my weapon =_=

Finally got some luck...!

Yeh...It's from the chest of Giran Dungeon...

I don't know what the max we can get,but 500k seems alot already...

Then I opened my first doll bag and it gave me...

I don't know how much it worth...
but someone wanted to trade me this baby...
















Well...Am I lucky enough?
I guess so!

Three Days of Drops~!

I have put most of my drops from the last three days into one screen. I tend to get a lot of the same bosses on multiple occassions. I have had no luck finding most ToI bosses when I have checked this week. Usually I get to the floor and see it dead, or nothing is there except people that are higher level than me trying to camp the same boss lol.

I have finals soon so I probably wont play or update much over the next two weeks. Once I am on break I will be in level mode.

That is neat~!

Deaths and Drops~! YY

The 2x probability event ended today with the weekly reset.

Here is a Demon that I found when running bosses. It is the first Demon that I solo'd. Normally I find it as someone else is already hitting it, or I get called to it by my pledge. I called it up in bp chat, but it died right as Zar got there to party me for his lovely water heals.
I rarely find this one...

This Bapho was right after the reset, but he seems to have forgotten that 2x probability was turned off..

Oh! Neat drop Nei, you got a Bapho Staff...PRAY!

This was my last Ice Cave run of event. Kallisto and I were pretty happy to get the drop.

I am currently selling a +8 Ice Queen Staff and Baphomet Staff. Whisper or letter me in game if you are interested. GMNyx said she would mediate a trade since the '/lang' trick for trading these item isn't working currently.

Keep it up~!

Gogo~!

I have been busy with school and family over Thanksgiving, so I did not edit or crop these much. I just blocked out things from the whole screen shot to make it go a little faster. It will still give you something to look at though.

My pledge got a key for the Antharas Raid dungeon and ran through it a couple times hoping for either the new pet or the eye. We had fun instead though.
I wanted to see Antharas on live server so I went into his lair and waited. I had to venz pretty fast, but I did get screen first.

I leveled again, which is always nice. This time I was racing a friend in my bp, and I won!

He had to pay me for beating him^^. I had a slight head start and would have had to pay him double if I lost.

I won one of the 'Follow Me!' contests from the main Lineage website. Thanks GMNyx!

I will end the post with some of the bosses I have gotten recently. This first one is clearly not during the 2x drop event. Worst Ancient Giant ever...

This is the first Ice Queen Box that I have ever gotten. So much build up for an Ndai zzz.

Lots of things to get done for work and school now, but this was a nice break for me.

Take is easy.

Lineage and Confucius

I came across a site that applied Confucius' teachings to blogging. For those of you who don't know who Confucius is, he was a famous Chinese thinker and social philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period. Read more here. He died more than 2500 years ago, so if you wanted to ask him some questions, you will have to wait until you're in heaven.

His teachings are very interesting. So interesting that I decided to apply his teachings to Lineage - but they can be applied to every day life. Today I am only going to share a few with you. If you want to learn more, I encourage you to google Confucius.

On a side note, a book I'd also like to recommend is Sun Tzu's The Art of War. This book has many translations and is one of the most famous books ever written. It is about strategies and the principles of war but they are also applied to every day life like business, social settings, military, etc.

Anyways, on to Confucius' teachings applied to Lineage:

1) Learning without Thinking is useless. Thinking without Learning is dangerous.

An example would be that when you enter a dungeon there are many monsters waiting for you. With all the monsters attacking you, it would be too much for you to handle and you will end up using many pots and possibly not kill all the monsters and the extreme case you end up dead. So you go back and get more pots and do the same thing over and over.

By using the environment around you, you can try to find a 1 vs 1 spot or a 1 vs 3 spot to minimize the damage done to you. The point is to learn from your mistakes and to use the environment and resources around you instead of attacking head on.

2) Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

This is not the exact translation but the gist of the idea is relevant. The idea here or what I got is that not everyone will agree with you or see things the way you see things. You cannot please everyone but however, that does NOT mean that you should write them off because sometimes people who may not agree with you but have wisdom and knowledge that you could learn from.

3) When anger rises, think of the consequences

Sometimes, Lineage is frustrating. The people you deal with are frustrating. Hell, I even get frustrated all the time and this is one of my many weaknesses. However, at the end you cannot control anybody but yourself.

When you get angry, you lose rational thought and unfortunate things happen. I remember once my friend told me someone he knew got frustrated with Lineage and decided to go on a blowing spree. In the end, that person regret all the hard work they put into their character and eventually quit. The point here is to make sound decisions. Don't make a decision without thinking.

4) Respect yourself and others will respect you

Well, this one is pretty straight forward. Don't be smug. Don't show off. Don't be arrogant. You may be happy when you get that shiny new toy but don't brag to the world. You can tell your friends who are likely to congratulate you. But when you show off to the world, you don't know the people who don't like you. They may use what you told them against you because maybe they are jealous or maybe they just don't like your attitude. On a side note, Karma is a bitch.

When others see the good qualities in you, they will respect you. You may ask, why does this matter? It's a game. Well. I believe that your in game personality reflects who you are in the real world. People will want to learn from you and admire your good qualities. Sometimes, even ignore your flaws. However, if you're arrogant, smug, a show off - people only remember these things. The key here is to be confident but not smug or arrogant. If you don't know something, figure it out or find out about it and share your knowledge when others ask you about it.

5)  I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Lineage was a pretty tough game back then before the 52+ polymorphs. Now with double experience below level 50, noob TOS, Tikal's prison update - leveling is easy now. All it takes is dedication, hard work and committment. You can learn and get tips from many sources as well as other people in the game, but you need to apply what you learn otherwise they will only be a theory.

Conclusion

Damn, it felt like I wrote a whole damn essay. Today I try to apply not just Confucius' teachings but everything that I learned in life to my own life. Some things are hard to follow like showing off but the whole point of all this is about humility. Thanks for reading.

-PD

Short~!

I leveled again the other day. Gogo me! I want to thank Kallisto for all of the out of party healing she did for me :) Makes leveling way nicer, and less expensive!
I am always hoping for Destroy from this boss, but drop lines almost always look like this.

Ran through the Antharas raid dungeon the other day. It was pretty easy, but fun and something new. I hope to be able to hunt it more. I wouldn't mind the Antharas Eye buff or a new pet haha.
