Rise of the Devil

Finally, one of the most anticipated version patches had arrived in SGE. Summerscent Family welcomes version 9.5 woot~

This update got massive content although some are still missing. One of the biggest issues is the non-existent Daria and Natalie on this patch. Many had been waiting for this duo to come along with Ludin and Veronif and they are really disappointed. I hope they will be unlocked soon.

Ok for a pre-9.5 achievement, the family already achieved the top 19th spot for the world cross singles division weeee. It’s really hard attaining this level since I’m using super paper team of Wiz+RE+Valeria. But every hardship got its reward so here it is; being with top tiered players is such an honor.

Anyway this is my current ranking after the patch. It’s really tough to get points especially if got DC from your opponent. That is why my matches keep failing. Its more of “Win some, Lose a lot” scenario. Oh well better try and try again. World cross pvp is my personal training ground so it’s all worth the effort.

As soon as I got in-game after patching, the ultimate goal for me that time is to get Ludin and Veronif. Since I prepared for the necessary stuff needed I got them in like 2 days (can get 1 day but since Lavaleaf mission got an irritating “blow up” skill that will surely let your quest fail with a squad).

I named my Ludin as “IU” after one of my fave Korean singer IU. Her cuteness reminds me of Ludin so that gave me the initiative.

On the other hand, I named Veronif as “Linnea”. Since I had a hard time searching for nice alchemist name, I decided to get the name from the famous 18th century Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus later became Carl Von Linne. Also it is a name for a flowering plant with bell-like petals and purple-ish color, quite cute in my opinion.

They are straight off to training together with their stances. They hit Master with max stance within 1 week. As of now they got no nice weapons but my 2 E. Behemoths and Veronif’s Diary are still in the middle of chipping sessions. I hope I can get atk+human or atk+3ar soon, as I really hate chipping a lot.

Just recently the winners for the 9.5 Loading Screen Contest was released and I'm one of the winners yey. I got the Ludin exclusive costume "Fireball" and 20K GP. So my Ludin got refreshing new look from then on. Not so long when I got hold of the unreleased Ludin "Brother" costume from a random vend on Auch with a decent price tag.

News of the Loading Screen Winners is here:

Once my new RNPCs are done with training, I decided to explore more of the 9.5 Content. New Bounty Hunter Missions are up so it became my daily solo raid. Good place for chips and e92 equips. Since I got work on weekdays, it’s hard to do all the available raids. So I decided to plan my weekdays and weekends raiding schedule. Maybe this can help others too.

Weekdays Daily Raids:

Rebo Brown Quest – 3 vet cards

Hunter June – 3 vet cards

New Pioneering Supply Merchant – EXP cards + Training Cards

World cross PVP

BH Skullic Dungeon – e92 and 92 chips

BH Bahamas – e92 and 96 chips

BH SCR– e92 and 100 chips

BH Occulta– e92 and Vet chips

BH ST– e92 and 96 chips

BH IWT– e92 and vet chips

JB Defense – e92 and Chips

JB Siege – e92 and Chips

Dead Rhapsody – e92, Viscount Ring and Chips

Castilla Mines up to Basilisk – Chips, Relics and Random roulette items

Faction raids if got:

Tower of Chaos – ELNr, GCr, Chips, ASO

Clock Tower – Chips, Narakas

Lifted Curse Pattern (Crow) – Chips, ASO Jewels, e92

Weekends Raids:

Do all weekdays’ daily raid

Faction Missions

World cross pvp double exp

Castilla Mines Full Run (solo)

Also v9.5 comes with few tough raids too. Since some quest needs to go to the Lucifer Castle, I explored the garden carefully since mobs here are quite painful. But I must admit this is the most beautiful map for me after Byron town lol.

Hunting King Ghecos~

Hunting Mandradoras~

Moreover, the faction decided to explore Time Paradox too and I never let the chance to slip away. 10 man team bravely tired to down it but its quite hard. This raid needs full 24 squad team. Although we failed the first time we took note of the different possibilities inside. Maybe next time we can down it for sure. Since the faction is preparing to down CT first, Time paradox must wait for now.

On a sidenote, I decided to contribute a little to the whole SGE community by becoming the latest CW reporter. Since I am a sports editor during High School, making Rembrandt’s CW juicy is not that hard hehe.

So see you soon. Keep posted guys~

Mission Accomplished!!

January 11 2012 is a day to remember. The day when Summerscent Family finished Tower of Chaos with flying colors. Everything went really amazing. I didn't expect that a normal TOC night will give me much experience I ever expected.



First of all, I left with the QoV quest that night. After killing the Queen I go straight to Adriana to collect medals and costumes that I really long for.







TOC Quest Completion will reward you with the highest Castilla Medals and 3 new costumes for Female Musk, Male Musk and Female Auch Infantry Soldier.









The top of the cake that night was the Greek Chroma Scout Recipe I got from the roulette. Really freaking awesome lol. Also my beloved factmates managed to get ELNr from it too. It's really unbelievable to posses such valuable armor recipe in my entire GE life.





Lastly I bagged the top 21 position on the world cross pvp singles rank. One more rank and I will be on the top 20 which is my goal for a long time. Definitely I wanna prove the worth of my Gorgeous UFO team^^.

Chity Chity!! Bang Bang!!

The family celebrated a very good end of year experience and started 2012 with a big bang. Before 2011 ends a lot of achievements are unlocked that gave me a hopeful year again to be excited playing GE.

Apparently, my Lionel already got his exclusive stance ”Punisher” and I have been enjoying using it whether raid or pvp. Sure thing Lionel is the best range dps in my opinion and I had proven his awesomeness through raiding without tanker and uplifting my worldx pvp rank. I’m thankful too about the GP promotion of IAH that made it easier to pay a 4B worth of stance book. I can solo castilla mines (although long and tiring lol), solo BH except BH occulta (since my Lionel got no good armor yet), also can finish Chateu de Bourgeone in minutes cuz literally Lionel can spacebar the bosses and mobs lol. My aim for him now is to get him good armor and an atk+3ar rifle plus atk+racial pistol so his true potential can be unleashed to the fullest.







By that, I had achieved my highest singles worldx pvp ranking no.23 thanks to Lionel. It’s the highest I got through my matches since my old team of Wiz+RE+Valeria is too paper-like. But spacebarring enemies got its downside too if you are aiming a position on top 20. Spacebarring only gives 1 or 2 points only, that’s what I notice in my matches. I don’t know if the point system is really random but nevertheless I don’t mind. I just play for fun and experience.



Nonetheless, I also bagged top 3 on the last Alliance War of 2011 and top 10 on the first Alliance War of 2012. All with Lionel's Glory haha.

First AW of 2012



Last AW of 2011





Apparently I managed to master some characters too including Rio and Lorch. Few of the irritating PVP characters to date haha, I had seen their potential at worldx and real time PVP and I don’t regret having them to Master Level. Luckily I got a human Shotgun from a quitter-getbacker seller, a sleek Dragonic Shotgun, which is one of my favorite equipment in the Dragonic series. The human Constellation Lute that my Rio uses is borrowed from a very good friend/ faction mate^^. I had been experimenting different combinations of characters so I really don’t settle any line up for team matches of worldx. Although my ranking is fluctuating, its still thrilling to team up with random players. You can experience anger (cause of leechers, afkers and no buffer/healer), or total happiness for some players with utmost initiative, tactic and confidence in winning. Honestly worldx PVP is the most awaited event for me in-game as of now.

Moreover, 12 on 12 is a memorable number for me. December 12 2011 when we first downed Tower of Chaos and I felt so proud being one of the main cast on it. Overall the raid is a good experience for skilling, running and being alert. Also I liked how the faction bonds inside it. The loots are really nice since we had been getting Greek Chroma Recipes and ELN Recipes. This is one of my favorite raid. Since I’m busy on the opening of 2012 I hardly go there now. But I hope I can go again now that I had finished my Loading Screen entries. We usually do 2 to 3 rounds of TOC per day and that makes the most out of GE raiding experience.

Dark Gemini



Queen's Throne



Queen of Valkyrie's Third Form



Mission Accomplished Weeeee





Speaking of Loading Screens, I joined the V9.5 Loading Screen Contest as a comeback from my past 2 years of last entry. It took me the last week for the event to decide to join. I worked until midnight to finish the 10 best graphic designs and manipulations I made through the years. Well I am really excited for our version 9.5 update and I hope late January we can have it. I am thrilled for the new RNPCs especially Ludin. Here are my works I hope you enjoy looking at them.





















Goodluck to all ;)

Lastly since it's a new year, of course I must have a new siggie. I made a new forum signature featuring my hubby Lionel.
