The Guildmasters

Hi all,

I managed to get to Guild Rank 9 today, now comes the long haul as each guild rank gets further and further away, GR 10 is 5,000,000 points away but hitting guild rank 9 has opened up another four or five new quests for me. I have managed to get myself around 24 out of the 50 S ranks needed so i’m still hopeful that I can get the platinum for this one. Once the servers close down next week it will probably take me a few months to solo whatever is left but I don’t mind that.

Should be getting The Last of Us in a week or so and i’m also renting Skyrim again as I loved playing that game and I want to get that platinum on this account. While i’m writing about my WKC update i’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the players that have helped me out while i’ve been online. There isn’t many on there now and there are still a couple of idiots but I have had some great players run with me in a few quests. It’s just a shame we only have a short time together to get what we can while we can.

Will probably only update one more time before the servers go down, i’m really hoping I can hit guild rank 10 before they do go down, then it will just be the long haul to guild rank 12, I may or may not have to work my way up to guild rank 15 depending on the 450 item bind trophy, if some of the items are too rare then I may just end up grinding to 15 although it’s not essential for the platinum.

Well that’s about it for now, I will end up making some videos for Skyrim, yeah I know there are a ton out there but i’m sure I can think of something different, i’ll also be doing some vids on The Last of Us. So until then, happy gaming 🙂

I tried to do some grinding last night but it was like pulling teeth, hardly anyone was running quests including Big Red, I think I ran big red more times with just two than with 3, only remember two times running with four players.

Kept hunting around on the map, done a couple of Home of the Knave 2 and managed one quest of Dragons Heat 3, we started with 3 on that one but the lag got so bad one had to quit and it was just me and another guy who finished the quest, i’m surprised I got to 9.1 million guilder.

I think in order for me to really get anymore questing done i’ll have to go to rooms from now on. At least there are plenty of new players still coming into the game, it will be a while before they hit the GR 12 quests but I should be able to platinum this game yet.

I wish the server didn’t have so many problems but that’s life and we have to deal with it. I just hope lower rank members don’t lose heart because of the lack of higher GR’s. I logged on this morning to check the message board and logs and I always check to see how many friends were on, the lowest i’ve seen is 5 friends playing, this morning there were 0. Shame.

After hitting Guild Rank 11 quite a lot opened up to me, 5 or 6 new quests were available to buy and they took all my money as they were 20,000 guilder each quest, wow.

I’m now finding a lot of items that i’d never heard of before and i’m also getting the required items needed for my more powerful weapons and armor upgrades.

There is now a Big Red 3 available which is pretty awesome giving around 45,000 GR points and a whopping 15,000 guilder as well as some decent items and level 10 pearls which now sell for 1,400 so i’m well on the way to more trophies.

I did get another trophy this morning called ‘Item Maniac”, this one was for collecting 600 different items. I’d actually forgotten about trophies as I hadn’t got one in over a week, it was a nice surprise when it popped up. This now puts trophy completion at 42%, yes I know, a long way to go still but i’m not bored yet.

I now have some generals armor(Cuirass), and even the Valiant leg gear (Cuisses),managed to get myself the Greede Steel Bow and a decent shield (Divine)for when I rebirth again for the 4th time and try bow and shortsword skills.

It shouldn’t take so long now to reach GR12 because of the access to harder quests which pay out much more GR points which really makes the grind from 10 to 11 probably the hardest, so far.

Well here we are two days later and i’m back at level 50, the problem now is do I continue trying to grind for Guild Rank 10 or re-incarnate again?

Both have their advantages and I think i’m going to grind to get my guild rank up to 10 before re-incarnating again. I’ve worked it out it will take around 20hrs if I stick to big red 2 maybe a little less.

According to my save file i’ve played for 275hrs and yes I do have a life besides gaming, that’s been spread over a couple of months so there is tons of playability in this game.

I’ve only achieved 23% of trophies, i’m only at 300k in guilder, my georama is only level 7 so there is tons more to do, oh yeah and I only have about 11 S ranks in my quests so if there is anyone wants to help me clear up all the level 1 quests i’m available most evenings.

My hometown is open to all and I would prefer a change from grinding on just big red alone, it would be nice to try some of the other quests. Station attendant 1 isn’t too bad with 4 players and you get around 30+ thousand in guild rank points, I did it once with 3 others last night for the first time and the score was 32000 for the S rank so quite a bit more than red but it does take a little longer, but you do get some different gear dropped to so it makes up for it and it did only take us 13 minutes.

I’m still trying to enhance my weapons which is difficult enough finding the right items and I haven’t even started to try and understand fully the binding part, I have binded some early items but I think my guild rank has to be at least 10 in order to bind those decent pieces of armor and weapons.

Here is a link to some wiki pages which are going to be really helpful to me, newbies and mid level players, check it out if you want to know about quests, binding, enhancing and so forth, tons of info there:

Well hope to see more of you in my hometown, and if not will see you on the quests, may the grind be bountiful.
