I'm really enjoying this thread.

Solid Progression tracked for entertainment value

Nicee good job so far bro ^^ im even dieing with full potted chars and max gear laal

Well, my guild is always looking for tombs and I was farming along on my own and a Sphinx just happened to spawn. I called them in with no intention of going in the tomb, thinking it wouldnt even spawn. Of course it spawns and I cant resist. And I bet you can all guess what happens when a 1/8 wizard tries to tomb...

Great success! sort of anyway. I mostly stayed out of everyone's way and played it safe. I tried to get as much damage as I could in on the bosses for a chance at loot, but I probably didnt on the first two. After the first two dropped and I was able to use my spell, I got plenty of nukes in. I kind of feel bad since I was the only person to get a life pot off the final boss and there is no way I could have killed it myself, but thats how tombs go. Even on a fully maxed character you can sometimes come out with nothing, if done in a group.

I took a screenshot of the bag drop inside the tomb, but in my cropping/cutting/pasting of another pic, it got lost


Right before the tomb I got a decent drop from UDL


And of course my current stats. I did drink that life pot right after the pic, along with whatever else I found as always. Also in the pic is my tradeables in vault. Another vault is full of 8 dex.

Starting to trade a tiny bit. Traded 9 dex for 3 def pots and used them. I also bought 12 life pots at 200fg each. Pretty good price for the current market so I figured I'd jump on them now, but only use them when I trade off items for FG. So every 200fg I'm able to get, I'll 'buy' one from myself. I'll take a pic of my life every time it changes. As you can see in the pic below I'm only +5 from what I started with due to the single life pot found in the tomb in the previous post.

I'm trying to keep track of the time I spend trading, but its a little more difficult to do. These went very quick and I wasnt looking to trade at the time so I'm only adding on 3 mins total.

I'm getting very close to maxing both defense and speed and I can really feel the difference in strength from when I was starting out. In the pic I have some holy waters but I havent done manor yet. I ran out of vault space and figured instead of tossing these I'd just use em.

Keep up the good work, I enjoy reading this.
Great to see the progress you've made

crap
make a new one!
scew this project! ;p

Bam 3/8! Found a good amount of pots today and it was enough to max both defense and speed. I also found a ton of attack pots which is great because up until now they were barely dropping. Didn't do any trading since last update. Everything found was from just mowing down gods and the occasional sprite, UDL, and even a snake pit.



Time played - 45 mins
+4 spd(maxed after 3)
+3 def(maxed after 2)

Total played time so far up until this point - 11 hours 44 minutes. Would have never guessed it would take me this long. So spoiled by playing maxed characters for the last few weeks before this that I forgot how long it can take starting out. Things are starting to pick up tho.

So whats next? I definitely need to start trading. Att/Wis will max soon enough without trading so I wont trade for those. I could either bank FG for those life pots I mentioned a few posts back, or I could try to trade everything for defense pots to buy gear/vitality with those. I'll probably do a little of both.
