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 ^_^.

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 ^^
