New computer is the BOMB


Black Mage:56 White Mage:50 Warrior:56 Thief:62

Yes I deleveled my WHM doing a danged BCNM 40 but I at least finally got my feet wet in a BCNM(ie. Burning Circle Notorious Monster). Erase didn't drop though and 2 people lost their seals when we lost the first 2 and then won the last 2. I was fourth so I won but the most valuable thng I got was a Black Pearl and a scroll of Ice Spikes. I immediately put the pearl up for sale at 30k and it sold in less than an hour. To compensate the two that didn't get anything for their seals I sent them each 10k. It''s not much but hey I couldn't have got my stuff without them so I felt it was fair. I might have sent more if I got like a major drop. The other guy that won his BCNM got a Survival Belt which I would have LOVED to have been able to use with my THF during pulls. It sells for 300k tho, and I aint spending that much for switch-in gear. It has a +5 Evasion ability.

I just upgraded my computer last week in an effort to reduce the lag I got playing THF and not getting SATA off quickly. I don't know why, but after a couple of hits from the monster, I usually end up at camp and hit my SATA macro and if I do that and I get a Cure III, I get frozen in place for a while and that, as I have said before, puts the WHM in danger cuz he's gonna have to cure the first-voker. I also wanted to be able to finally have bump mapping which I couldn't do with my old video card which was 128K but MX series NVidia. The computer I have now has 3.0 GHz processor speed, 1GB RAM and a 6800 series 256K video card from NVidia.

Well I am in heaven. Not only do I have no problem with SATA now even with full graphics and effects turned on, but just look at how beautiful the scenery looks. I sit there now amazed at the landscape sometimes. Even YUHTUNGA looks good. And you all know how much I like Yuhtunga Jungle.

I talked some more in Uchipu's ls called DivineXtasy. I hope I can manage to stay in there a long time. I have made a lot of friends in Nobodyzangel ls but I can tell that they don't relish my use of another ls. Still sometimes I just want a different set of ppl to speak to.

I have leveled up to 62 with my THF and I think I am gonna take it to 65 before I stop. I find it pleasant to be among really high level ppl like Net Uchi Ema and Mith and Corn and Kineal etc. and it drives me to want to get at least one of my characters to 75. I used to not care so much about maxing a character out since that would just be one less character I could level, but I dunno.

I have also recently wanted to get my Erase scroll even if I have to buy it and it occurred to me today that if I sell my Teleport-Yhoat and Teleport-Vahzl scrolls, that they would bring in about 450k and then since Erase is at 500k I could afford it but would lose my teleport ability to those areas. Still, I noticed recently that Erase is at least as effective as Dispel against some mobs and to be honest I would be ashamed to not be able to cast Erase as a White Mage.

White Mage is on hold.
