Revisiting Garim's Nest

Then another has come for Tagbanua Family and Le Conquistador Faction to face Garim. If you want to see the whole guide for Garim just click here. My new whole team is I believe is more effective because some mobs keeps on attacking me when I use the RIP and Absolute zero combo lol. We manage to defeat Garim, however this time he is more emo than before >_<.

Till nex adventure of Tagbanua Family.

Tactical Assitance and Gigantic Blaster Stances

Tagbanua Family is currently grinding its main raid and pvp team to expert. They are currently hunting spino skull and dragon leather for the Faction, hehehe because that is the only thing that at least I can sacrifice for the faction as of the moment.

The new thing about Tagbanua family is this is the first time I used 2 new stances: Tactical Assitance and Gigantic Blaster. To give you a background of it I included some links about the two stances.

Requirements:

For Tactical Assitance you need 25 pcs of Mystery powders (also known as "blue cracks") hahahah and one rare book of magic.

For Gigantic Blaster you need 25 pcs of Mystery powders and 30 pcs expedition boxes which can be hunted thruout the bahamas region.

The good thing about my all new main team is that I have so many options and combo's I can create so a tip from all new pioneers is that when you decide to make your main team make sure they compliment each other. Sometimes even though all your team member are naturally strong however does not compliment each other skills then it is uselless. Plus you need also to consider the flexibility of your characters in adapting in certian needs. Like is it raid friendly? Is it CW helpfull? Is it according to your preference?

Although personal Rnpc's is really nice, Granado Espada gives you so much variety that you can actually show your personality thru it. So go and discover more, as for Tagbanua Family they will have more adventures to come.

Till next challenge ^_^.

A new Veteran in Town

A new pioneer became veteran this week and its kemekeme (grace bernelli), im excited to use her gigantic blaster stance hahahahaha and rock the world of shotgun's.

woot ^^

The good thing about her is that you can max out her dex to 10 then use a very nice rifle for maximum damage. With the help of my T-Rex amber lol im sure he's full coz of the men who were eaten at topolo by my pet hahahahaha...

roar!!!!!

ROAR!!!! *poke poke*

Now Im on my way in leveling my main team for expert level, elem is nearing 104 and my scout 101.

Till next adventure...^_^

Raid: The Garim's Nest

Last Saturday night, Tagbanua Family embarked on a journey that he never knew will come true, it is raiding the lair of the gigantic monster "Garim". With our Faction Leader in command Mahoney, discussed to us the details of the raid me and the rest of the LC members waited outside the ruins on the map of Vegas Javier.

For you to enter the ruin, you need some requirements:

- 1000 reputation points
- mysterious key
- hrin and truimph
- soul crystal
- symbol of garim


Then when everyone is ready Mahoney made the signal and opened the warp, now this is getting excited for me. Im praying hard while waiting that I will not get disconnected >_<, take note that you need 1000 reputation points in order to go inside the portal to Garim's nest.
Now the first room is guarded by a familiar boss (its KOG) he has a different name and didnt manager to get it, because it's very laaagggy. Take note that KOG is weak against Magic so wizard and elementalist stance users will diffinitely strike hard on its big fat belly.


Now this is the hard part of the nest its the the "halls of death" . Its the narrow road that has lots and lots of fire cannons plus mobs from the I dont know world of GE. But wait there's more at the end of the hall awaits another boss its like a humanoid Diablo. Now this time its the elementalist and wizards turn to shine. This piece of muscle is tough in magical attacks, however it has no fat to shield against piercing bullet shot of outrage stance and slashing prowess of claudes and bashing of blunt figthers.


After that the other portal will open and you will go to the next stage.


Now this is what I call the waiting room, its like the waiting lounge at the airport where you can shop inside, look for goodlooking steward (O_O) lol and it is also the time to meditate and anticipate what lies ahead the next room. You will have to wait for 20 mins or so and defend the crystal on both sides from the half alien half predator creatures >_<.
After the 20 mins wait the time has come to face the great dinosaur made from cave rocks that serves as his armor and sharp stalagtites for his teeth and claws. It has a big bones shooting outward from the back, with a tail so long and strong for sure whoever tries to attack him from the back will get a big bash from its tail. However the funny things is when he walks or runs he looks like a big fat bulldog lol ^_^. Now below are the highlights of the Tagbanua Family and Le Conquistador Faction raid: Garim.




Then Garim died, Tagbanua Family and Le Conquistador Faction is victorious and slayed the mighty dinosaur. After Garim is dead a mysterious tresure box will appear now here is when you need the (mysterious key) that you can buy in the cash shop. Unfortunately I got dc and did not get a Screen shot of it lol. The lesson of this raid is to trust your leader and follow them. In real life, sometimes its hard to be with a boss and taking orders from others. However it shows your character as a person. Just remember you cannot be a leader of your own if you cannot be the best follower. Only a few are called to be a leader but it doesn't make anyone less valuable than the rest. We played each others role in this raid, some just purely watching and looking for dead people to ress, some tank, some nuke, some DPS and some makes a story about it lol.

This is the raid of Garim's nest till next adventrue ^_^.

Secret Temple and Jean Pierre Gascon

Last night Tagbanua Family entered Secret Temple together with Le Conquistador. We fought out some intruders from other factions and killed Diablo, unfortunately I got DC again Y_Y so wasnt able to finish the mission. Fortunately in spite of the strong force of the intruders Le Conquistador managed to prevail.



In the meantime, I decided to make my own choice of martial artist to make and decided to go for Jean - Pierre Gascon not only hes so hot hot hot hot (his ass is to die for lol), I find him a rare species of man, hahahahahah (giggles) since only a few uses him. So my mission to make Jean, Karja for crafting and Soho & Lisa for breaking to b veterans.



However I am more focused on grinding my wizard and elem to be Experts. Till next adventure!

Albertal

Last night Tagbanua Family joined LC in going to Poison Yard unfortunately I got disconnected! Then to ST unfortunately we got massacred (hahahahhaha). So I went to Albertal to train, its a great map since there are a few obstacles and everything is a vast plain. Many moving rocks and antelopes and with my AOE team its a haven for power leveling. After that I went to Rion Dungeon to level up my crafter of Gems Karja!, hehehehe she's lvl 70 now and hoping to make her lvl 100 as soon as possible.

Till the next adventures of Tagbanua Family!!!

The Tagbanua Family

Since Carracci no longer exist and all the pioneers of Granado Espada was given a chance to change their family name, (see The World Migration Package). Since Churvanesska Family was derived from a not so serious source, I decided to change my Family name into a more meaningful and sensible name, so i chose the Tagbanua word as my family name.

Tagbanua "Tagbanwa" is one of the oldest tribes in the Philippines, they inhabited the central and northern Palawan, and believed to be the direct descendants of the tabon man. They have a rich culture even before Spaniards came in to the scene. They have thier own language, writing, way of life and even traded with the country Brunei.

I must say when I saw the writings of the old alphabet I got very amazed and realize that the Philippine culture has so many things to offer to its country men, the sad thing is we were so colonialized we dont even care about it.

So that is why I changed my Family name to Tagbanua Family to help promote True Filipino Culture around the world. Here are some facinating sites about this wonderful writing system called "baybayin" cames from the word "baybay " means - to spell out. It is also popularly known as "alibata".

I will also be changing some of the names of my characters based on the Tagbanua Mythology and would be promoting the baybayin writing to my fellow men and others.

Please click on those highlighted words for you to know more.

Here are some pictures of the Tagbanua Tribe:

A TRIBUTE TO CARRACCI

Last night was the last day of our beloved Carracci. As Churvanesska Family embarks on a new journey, I would like to pay tribute to this server whom I grew up with,
cherish friendship with, and gain a lot of knowledge from it.

Sometimes when we lose something or someone that is the only time we realize how much it really meant to us. For these are the moments when we try to drew strength from ourselves and gets so scared of what lies ahead. There have been up's and downs in this world of Carracci. The days were the Imperial Royalist rule the land and the Feudal Republicans struggled for freedom.

Remember this: (lol Drammaracci)


Suddenly a change of tides:

Many things had happen for the past few weeks in my stay here in Carracci been with Nosuch Faction, Outcasts Faction and now my new loving family Le Conquistador Faction. LC Faction commemorated the last day with a Big Bang of Fireworks and Poses! ^_^

Now as Chuvanesska Family waves goodbye to our beloved Carraci I stand for one virtue she taught me, "Darkness is not the opposite of light, its just a mere absence of it." As we look forward to a new world name Rembrant, its like weve been covered by a dark cloud and not seeing any light at all. Just remember to HOPE, because the light is there you just need to know how to awaken it.

LC Last Hurray to Carracci!


Goodbye Carracci Until we meet again! and Welcome Rembrant!

THE LAST CW OF CARRACI

The Last CW of Carraci surely is one heck of a battle, for the last time the challenges has been called forth for both sides to give out their best and conquer the world of Granado Espada. Here is the map:
All Stars Faction - 17
Destiny Faction - 1
Eminence Faction - 2
Le Conquistador - 3

Siege fire here and there, Churvanesska Family participated in the CW under the flagship of Le Conquistador. In spite of the tremendous lag that I experience I managed to help by acting as a full force breaker with Cath Summoner, Edward and Scout as my team. At the very last minute a miracle happened. When "Notice" 5 Minutes left we only have one colony, then the unexpected happened. Two maps almost at the same time 1 minute before Colony Wars ended. This is what happened

Churvanesska Family inside the red box ^_^

LE CONQUISTADOR and LIGHTNING GATE

After 7 days of being alone Churvanesska Family decided to find a new family, I am accepted in Le Conquistador Faction. I believe that I will greatly grow in this faction and I am looking ahead of my future to be bright. Now three days to go before the merging, the hope of connection issues with the PH gamer hopefully will go back to normal.



Then My first night with LC, Churvanesska family had a chance to see what does Gate of Lightning looks like.



Unfortunately Churvanesska Family didnt last for very long and died lol ^^


Till next time......^_^

Scorching Plateau and Ferrucio Wall

Its another adventure that Churvanesska Family had done. My Romina is now level 101 and my Elem on its way to 35% vet, having Cath Summoner is really handy in power leveling especially during the laagy days of GE. I apologize if I cant add pictures to the topic because the laaaaaaggggg is just tremendous. Anyways during my leveling time yesterday, I obtain 1 High Quality Sapphire, and lots of 92 Unique recepie, Im still praying hard for that elusive Elite Pandera Jacket and Elite Le Ventisca. I hope I will get one, by the end of this week.

Till next time and I hope Granado Espada will not laaaag anymore.

Moving On............................

The time has come for me to make a very very hard decision. Leaving my faction that I so dearly love. However I have weighed things fairly and realized some things. I left Outcasts for some reasons and I wont elaborate on that, now that Im factionless the only thing that is on my mind is to aim for expert level and to increase my Family level. I wont be joining any Faction as of the moment and will just focus on leveling. I thank Outcasts for everything however as they say if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

My last message in the OC forums:

Lagnado Espada

haayzzzz sorry for not posting anything good its because Lagnado Espada has yet again repeated my endless problem of LAAAAAAAAGGGGGG!!!!! If hrin is reading this i would like to express my concern of Server laaaaaggggggggggg. I mean this time its an exaggerated laagggg. Here how it goes you freeze everytime you move, cast and warp. How is that? and take note only in Granado Espada which I am experiencing the ultimate lag in other Online games such as Lineage II and WOW its very smooth. Please Hrin if your reading this tell your IMC friends to look up to it. If ever the local internet service provider is the problem, I am informing GE to stick a big atomic bomb in their mouth to let them feel my wrath!

Hopefully the connection will be alright.

Toukbal Mines Part I: The Diaries

After a tiring day at the SMX Convention Hall I went home with smiles in my mind. At that instant I am more than motivated to reach for new heights.

After killing 2 Golden Bats last Friday night I decided to go on a journey inside the toukbal mines alone. I am not a noob when it comes to toukbal mines its because its the same map you need to cross for going to HB (Hell Breaker). However this time I have another agenda, to finish my quest on toukbal mines. This my first picture at toukbal mines pioneering inside the map alone
>_<:

Then I came across this prison locker boxes and guess what the diaries are there all along ^_^. So I went all over the maps to look for 10 boxes here are some pictures of it. All together with a BG on the background ^_^.


After which i completed my quest I decided to take on one the GB (Golden Bat) inside toukbal mines. Take note the GB in toukbal mines are much stronger than the ones outside of it. Inside toukbal mines the GB's are lvl 108 with 56 AR and DR while in the capybara mines its only lvl 106 with 55 AR and DR. Here are some pictures I did manage to damage it unfortunately I cannot kill it with just 400 pcs food maybe like 800 pcs will do ^_^.


IF you want a more extensive quest guide you can visit Starstorm's blog for more info's about the toukbal mines quest.

Jurrasic Park : I

Its the first day of Week 4 of September, when i found an area full of dinosaurs (roar) O_o.

Yes its the Ustiar Cuatro map, this haven of dinosaurs is also a haven for my type of personality leveling while enjoying the cinematic view of a grand lagoon and "Naigara falls" look a like water falls. Wow!!! Im planning to stay here while farming spino skull from Spinosaurus who is for me a miniboss who is forgotten by everyone "poor thingy" lol good thing Im hunting for him because I heard you need its skull for some important recepie. Since my Edward is already 96 and my Cath Summoner is turning 97 weeeeeee I cant wait for my goal in starting to make my vet chars into experts.

I left my faction for the mean time to concentrate on my leveling for one week. Ill be back on Sunday, lol Last night I acted as a support group reviving dead people relentlessly and buffing Magic barrier to the team hahahaha.....I hope my Cath and Edward will reach Vet by this week.

Here are some photos of the falls and the cinematic view over at Ustiar Zona Cuatro:

Bigfoot and T-Rex!!! lol its like Land before time ^_^
Niagara Falls


Another Pose ^_^

My Family

Hi SGE mates, well its been a year since I played Granado Espada and I am still loyal to it. This is my 5th yr as a gamer and I still dont have no reason to quit this world yet:

Well enough of the crap and let me introduce to you my family.

Family Name: Churvanesska Family

Churva - ness - ka - this word can mean a thousand it depends on how you use it. Well "churva" is acutally a gay lingo that pinoy gay community use as a filler in their sentences. Since im one proud handsome pinoy gay gamer i chose it to be unique. "ness" and "ka" means in gay language in relevance with the Filipino context it is "you". Hence making my family name one of a kind. It can be used in many different ways and it's meaning varies since "churva" is a filler. Just like me and the line of work I do I need to be a Jack of all trades that knows everything and needs to have a very good impression about the majority in other words "PR".

Family Level: 21

Server: Carraci

When i started GE the first issue I have encountered is What server will I invest in? Since I am also a Beta player I chose Cervantes as my first server however. I am not a type of player who is a noobish one so all I did is to grind and to grind but when i reach level 60 I started wondering I dont have any "community " I mean I started playing GE with my own personal desktop computer at home and I dont know anyone in real life who plays it too. So it was a dilemma. What I did is I created one family in every server and make them level 60 and whoever server makes a nice interaction and a well organized faction then thats the server i will stick to. Fortunately my Churvanesska Family in Carraci is the first one to meet my standards. One great leader Pm'ed me while im at Rion Dungeon the Faction i joined in and my first faction was Strawhat Faction. It was a promising faction however it started to fade when the FL and DFLs who are all in the states was attracted to going to The Sword of the New World. Eventually I have to leave, as they say when a door closes another one opens and it can be a better one. I joined the legendary NoSuch Faction, our FL at that time is no other than AS current FL Yogen aka "Yoggy Bear". I love this faction with great people and very friendly environment this faction is where my love with sGE flourished and nurtured. I gain a lot of friends who helped me in grinding and in my quest especially with retired best in information Starstorm (who is now in SOTNW) . When Yogen resigned as FL of Nosuch the leadership was passed on to you know who? LOL to ME!!!! OMG imagine i wasnt even Imba at that time, and giving me the task for becoming a FL is simply too much for me. Well at first i tried, however the lost of Yogen to Nosuch means the lost of some of the best and good people inside E.g . Agita / paragon / OrrOrr and other Current AS members so I decided to leave for me to survive with GE. Then another great faction invited me and its actually a referral of Yogen, its the all Filipino Faction and currently the last all Filipino Faction in Carraci the Outcasts Faction. This is where i transformed into a mature gamer of GE, I am now more aware of the market business / raids / CW. I have experience things very differently inside OC and the best of all I learned a lot. I'm still with OC as one of the council members ^_^ (LOL Promoted?). Well for me I act as the devil's advocate its not that i like being one its just that I just want everybody to look first on both sides of the coin before making any decisions ( coz i hate immature decisions for me haste is waste).

RNPC / STOCK CHARACTERS :

Well let me give you a brief background about my family. I started with a scout / wizard / fighter set up. Then when i did the quests i started to like Idge. I like her because of the rareness of her being in a primary team. The fact that i love GS and polearms but still wants to keep a little feminine side to it, so Idge is perfect for it. Tough on the outside but tender in the inside ^_^. So I switch to a Scout / Idge / Wizard team.

Eventually I made them veteran Scout / Idge / Wizard, then afterwards my desire of filling my barracks to increase my family level came in. I decided to make an elementalist and a fighter. I made them veteran too, then since I started with Idge my love with the RNPC started so since i want a new breed of Idge I started to get in touch with my inner fashion critic ^_^ no other than the president of the Granado Espada Fabulousa Community Mr. Andre Janzur ^_^ (and ohh i love his black spade dress). hahaha after that currently Im in love with another RNPC hes my crush he's Edward the white baron and Since im a violinist im getting Rio Vicente for his musicality except for his voice >_<.

Goal:

My Aim is to reach expert level before 3.0 since its a long way to go for me and i got a lot of Vet chars that i want to reach expert I also in the process of vetting my Cath summoner for power leveling. I hope i would be just right on time with it.

Ill keep you posted about my adventures in sGE, and i cant wait to share my life in Granado Espada ^_^.

Cyah in game mates ^^
