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-(´・｀)
