So feeling crappy I went on to my second event monster which was Speedy but the line (yes, now I know there’s a line)  was really long so I skipped it and went onto search for Webster… The line was short so I waited my turn but the person in front of me (Helga) died during her turn ; ;  I killed it off then waited for the respawn and got my event item…. To make up for the stupid mistake I had made I offered to help Helga kill the event monster.  I am not 100% sure about how drop distribution works in HKO so I just told her to engage the mob first then I kill half of it and then she finishes it off… That way she can be the first person who engages the mob and the person who gets the last hit in… Since those are the 2ways drop distribution usually work… and Helga got her event item~*  Argggh but I still feel like an ass…

I’ll try to help others as much as I can today to make up for my stupid mistake…

**********************************************************************

Regarding drop distribution:

So… I’m helping this person (Chibi Lv.16) right now… tried killing Speedy like 5times heh cuz the drop kept coming to me …. got his drop in 1try with Eagor… and going for round#3 on Webster right now…. this is the best way to do it if you’re helping someone with drops… Have them attack it first… have them stay engaged on the monster while you kill it… and let them get the last hit in.  The last hit thingy is a lil iffy…. not 100% positive…

**************************

I’m helping Chibi with Lobo right now… I think maybe level requirement of Lv.15 is alil low… if other monsters aggro while you’re killing Lobo even for a lv.23  it was close… I was killing Lobo and had 2wolves on me and I had to eat a strawberry cake just in case towards the end…  Well I’m done with the event so good luck everyone~* and feel free to message me ingame for help if you need it. ^^

**************************

Ok figured it out finally haha…

1. Person A engages monster first.

2. Person B jumps in and starts killing the same monster (while Person A is still engaged)

3. Person B disengages.

4. Person A gets the last hit in.

5. Person A gets item.

2posts today because Juicy got her pet today ^^  Well (this is embarrassing but…) I’m posting it just in case it helps somebody (clueless like myself ^^:)… So Juicy got her pet like almost 8~10days ago if I remember correctly -  but up until today, I didn’t know how to bring out the pet ; ;  So today was the first time Juicy got to play with her blue puppy and feed her~* So for those who don’t know how to bring out your pet that you got from Anthony’s quest….

This helpful mini pet-guide was posted by Treize(HKO Shadow) on the forums:

* Right-click the petcard to equip it.

* Press E to bring up the pet menu.

* Click the icon ABOVE the ‘drop-icon’ to bring out your pet & have it follow you around.

* Don’t click the ‘drop-icon’ = drop sets your pet free so you lose your pet.

* While your pet is out it will need to be fed.

* Pets no longer need to be fed when they are not ‘out’ (visibly out) with you.

* You can get pet food (jellies) from monster drops or buy pet biscuits from the Material NPC.

* To feed your pet = Just eat the food while having your pet out.

HKO DAY8 helped Jack complete his NY Quest… HKO DAY9 & 10 - finally completed my NY Quest.

Haven’t seen Nataya in a day or two… I think she’s taking a break - I thought she meant she wanted to go to bed - not take time off the game ^^:

Unfortunately, I left the first guild I joined in HKO - which has nothing to do with the guild leadership, the person who invited me, or the way the guild is run…  But more like certain types of people/behaviors that reminded me of one of the reasons that eventually led me to quit my previous game that I played for over 4years…  Long story short minus all the negative stuff - I’m more of a small guild person and the guild I was invited to join for a lil less than a week is one of the largest in HKO atm…  there’s not that many guilds right now since it’s just the beginning and not many people can afford to create one but anyways…. it would have been nice to be a part of a guild that would later on be one of the older guilds of HKO but… and I thought it’d be better to leave before I felt obligated to stay… so right now… I’m back to playing solo.  Thank you RC for inviting me and I’m sorry I couldn’t stay…

So after leaving the guild, I was able to have more time for my own character and was able to complete all my quests except for the last 3London quests…  The Rolling Burry’s Ball (2) & The temperature regulator (2) & Deciphering the blue feather…  The first one I’m working on atm which is going to take me a week or so I think considering the crappy droprate and half my ingame time’s spent moneymaking…  The second one I’m waiting around until I have enough magic crystals… The third one which I’m unable to complete due to the ‘in-progress’ status of the game itself…  I thank Rin様 for her quest guide which helped me complete all my quests.

My 1week HKO Anniversary!~*  ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

So today… I got a lot done!  I completed my Florapolis quests… finally ε-(´・｀) and  go through I think almost half of my London quests.  And for the first time I farmed - Farmer Juicy harvested…. strawberries, oats, greentea leaf, cauliflower, and coffee fruits. ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ  Crafter Juicy was able to skill up a variety of crafts today and also… hit lv 18.  I have to complain one more time! - it’s a bi7ch traveling back and forth arrghh… I was mining and gathering a lot of my crafting materials today and you have to travel to like 2-3different areas to get all the materials for 1recipe…(,,#ﾟДﾟ):∴;’･  Anyways… oh~* did you notice how I didn’t use the word ‘farm’ but specifically said mining/gathering? hehe pat on the back (*｡_｡) a cookie for juicy. w  

I bought some fertilizer and entered my farm… stood there for like 5minutes trying to figure out what to do…. then another like 15minutes trying to figure out how the fertility number thingy worked…. (all 20minutes went to waste hehe)… I started randomly doing stuff but I couldn’t pick the damn strawberries and was standing there staring at them when Nataya came to my rescue !  ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Thank you Nataya~*  She visited my farm today^^ and helped me get started and now I kinda know how to farm ヾ(-_-;) well at least I can grow and pick my fruits and veggies hehe… but I think I’m wasting too much fertilizer since I don’t know what I’m doing… exactly… (*｡_｡) 

I met a guild-mate named Jack today.  He asked for help and I was walking him through some stuff he was confused with or didn’t know… He mentioned how he may not want to play HKO if it wasn’t free… I’m not sure if I would pay to play this game either but it’s starting to get real addicting heh. ヾ(-_-;)  I hope the game stays free…(*｡_｡) HelloKitty wouldn’t make us pay would she now?! ∑(O_O；)!

So… hopefully I can complete my NY-Quest tomorrow if I have enough time~*

Ripplecloud invited me to join her guild so I joined Sailora today… ＼(＾▽＾*)  Thank you for letting me join~* The guild is huge with @ 100members or so and they were founded during the closed beta season…  Nataya and Angelheart ended up joining the guild also… ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ I asked Kittymel if she wanted to join and she said she’d think about it so … ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I wish they had named the areas all unique names instead of East of blah blah, West dreamland, forest, valley etc. etc… - it kinda gets confusing for me when I’m traveling back and forth and doing quests… ε-(´・｀)

I hit lv17 before logging which took basically all day… helped Lexi with the 10 cur’s teeth quest & the wolf skins quest… Ann with the purin papa copper & coal quest…  While helping out I noticed my droprate sucks…ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ  or is it the game itself?  They should add ‘treasure-hunter’ gear or food or something that ups your droprate when you’re farming for quest items or something… (*´ο`*)=3

Which brings me to… I need to come up with another word for farming… I’m so used to using the term ‘farming’ like it’s used in FFXI (when doing activities to collect items to complete a quest/mission or make money to maintain your character)… but HKO has the option to really farm so if I use farming people get confused and think I’m actually on my farm, farming…. ヾ(-_-;) But then again HKO has ‘planting’ as the word for farming… but players refer to it as farming in the chats… arrgh… （￣へ￣）

They also have lumbering/gathering/mining skills and your actual character level interlinked so when you skill up the 3crafts your actual character level goes up also…  This was alil confusing at first since in FFXI lumbering/gathering/mining would be categorized as crafts like cooking and skilling up your crafts don’t level up your character…  I also learned today that you don’t lose EXP from dying… this is helpful since you don’t have to worry about losing exp when death-warping…  Telepo/warp scrolls/items should have been added if they weren’t going to be given as character magic skills…  It takes ages trying to get back to your spot if you weren’t right outside of town when you died…  (,,#ﾟДﾟ):∴;’

The other day I happened to arrive in Paris by accident heh… I was out doing stuff and ended up taking portals after portals and somehow landed in Paris… The wonderful land of My melody!!~* It’s heaven for those who love pink (ME!!)  But there wasn’t much to do there yet so…. I just wandered around for awhile and headed back home. heh… (*｡_｡)

I’m currently working on the NY quest & the Sakura’s key quest which I’m kinda stuck on.. ε-(´・｀)

I didn’t get much done today.  Still trying to finish up on my Florapolis quests while doing London quests… so… traveling back and forth, farming for quest items, and researching online for quest/faq guides are taking up most of my ingame time. 

I hit lvl 16 today and my cooking is almost lvl 6~* AND I went shopping with all the money I saved up since yesterday and now Juicy has blue pigtails and sporting the Easy-London line hehe.  I need to start working on the NewYork event tomorrow~*  Short post today ^^ … nothing really interesting happened ingame and my ingame buddies haven’t been loggin on for the past couple days - or maybe it’s the time difference… ; ;

I’m working on quests from both London & Florapolis right now…. It’s a pain in the ass since I have to travel back and forth but I’m kind of stuck on a quest or two from both towns so might as well do what I can…  And my excitement gets me killed every time. hehe I was so excited to fight new monsters in new areas that I ran out there unprepared…. they hit hard…. I think I used more than 50 choco-milk today… ^^:  I’m slowing down on my questing so that I can farm up some gold since I’m broke after buying all my London gear and upgrading my tools and wand… the cheapest top in London  is like 1500gold….   Farming wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the slow ass HP-regen…. There is no difference between standing around & sitting in healing position when waiting to heal up…. It’s both 1tick….  Doesn’t make sense.

Oh I forgot to mention yesterday that I got the pretty sparkly thing that swirls around your character~*  And today I farmed a blue wig and a long black wig. hehe. I didn’t know it would be permanent… I thought it was like an equipment you can put on then take off to go back to your default hairstyle ; ;  So I ended up with short blue hair… so I ran back to farm up another wig and got super lucky and ended up with the long black one~*  I prefer long hair in RL too. hehe.  I was hoping for  black pigtails/chunli buns but it seems like they only have blue pigtails…  I want my default hairstyle back… my long black wig has funky bangs. hehe.

I also farmed up a rose today so even though I have my wand equipped, it shows me holding a rose ^^  Not much to blog about today since I just farmed all day…. Oh yeah it seems like they fixed the spelling for Londan so now it’s London ^^ 

Yay＼(＾▽＾*)／ So I made it to Londan today… finally~ ☆  I’ve almost completed all my Florapolis quests…  I’ve also been to all the different areas between Florapolis and Londan…. and successfully killed all the different types of monsters in those areas without dying. ^^;  I’ve enjoyed gathering and lumbering (well not really enjoyed… w) but the results - shopping spree & exp - made me a happy camper~* ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)  I found out a lot of different things today like, about getting a pet, changing your hairstyle, and that you can lock-on to a nearby monster while lumbering or gathering so… if it happens to attack you while you’re busy picking some berries off a tree, you automatically start smacking the monster that’s attacking you.  This lets you save a few HP since normally when a monster starts attacking you while you’re busy, you get smacked around a few times before you lock onto it and actually start fighting back.

Hmmm… What else… I really like Londan. It’s more Sanrio-ish than the Harbour or Florapolis.  If the cities get Sanrio-er as we level up… I’m gonna die in Sanrio heaven. ∑(O_O；)  The rooftops in Londan are shaped like cupcakes and yummy pastry… and you get to even meet HelloKitty’s parents ^^  and there is also a Charmmy Kitty fountain (´･ω･｀)  Oh yeah~* I also got my farm but my name doesn’t show up on the lil list that comes up when you talk to the NPC that lists everyone’s farms (*｡_｡) …  and when I first entered my farm, it took me awhile to figure out how to exit w ^^:  There is a lil farm-control panel thingy on your upper-right hand corner that lets you exit.  This reminds me of my first day on HKO, when I couldn’t figure out how to exit the game… I stood around for like 10minutes trying to figure out how to exit the game and after having said gnite and everything to Nataya, I had to ask her how to exit…she was probably wondering what I had been doing for the whole 10minutes… hehehe (・－・)

While doing my Florapolis quests today, I got stuck on the Cherry-tree quest…  I couldn’t figure out which tree it was…(･_･?)  I went around clicking all the ‘major’ looking trees ε-(´・｀) …  I thought the heart tree looked more cherry-like so I stood there clicking around on the floor…. ^^:  But finally figured out it was the yellow tree…  ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ  but the question mark wasn’t giving me anything when I clicked it and it just kept telling me I didn’t have enough crystals…  (,,#ﾟДﾟ):∴;’  So I tried making one… which I later found out was a big mistake since it’s supposed to be used for another quest… but I’ll figure that out later（￣へ￣) …  And while I was standing under the yellow tree confused as hell as how to get the damn key, a passerby named MaryTerror showed me how to check for the key I supposedly got… unknowingly…  Thank you MaryTerror ＼(＾▽＾*)  I would have stood under that stinkin yellow tree all night if it wasn’t for you   Well the tree doesn’t stink… it’s a cute tree (-ω- )
