Bryan, thank you for thinking of me so much with the Bishop.  I’m finally moved back from school, and I have tomorrow off work, so hopefully I can get a bit of time in.  I’ll edit this post after I get to play tomorrow.

Ok, this will probably be disjointed and incoherent. Mostly because it’s late and that’s how my mind is working (not working?) right now.

So I made a magician, Sunset. I was trying for a perfect roll, and then realized I probably could just use an AP reset, and finally took a 4/5. Only to find out that the CS was DCing you when you tried to buy stuff, but oh well.

I ambled around Maple Island for awhile. It’s changed, again, since I’ve last been, so it was interesting to see. I like the new quests and the addition of Slimes, Pigs and Stumps to the available monsters. I also went to Pio and got a chair, because my Maple Island experience just wouldn’t feel complete without a Relaxer to show for it.

I went to Shanks at level 6 because I’m a moron, and figured I could get to the necessary level 7 once I got to Vic. Shanks told me I was stupid, and made me go kill snails until I was 7. Which took five minutes, but you know, the walking. ;P

So on to Victoria, and to Phil, who brought me to Henesys.

So I find Cody, and I’m greedy, I must admit. Since after you click that you want to level, you can’t do anything else, I wanted to be good and sure I’d gotten everything I could before that happened. And I’ll spoil my story at this point, in case someone can figure out exactly where I went wrong. I borked the character. I couldn’t apply any SP into 2nd job (gave me a weird “Must put points into first skill” error or something very odd like that), and then when I tried to get Cody to level me, he said I had too much AP/SP for him to do it, and I should spend it first.. which of course I couldn’t. So Sunset is in a bit of a pickle, and I thought I’d blog about it before I deleted her and tried again. Anyway, so I’ll get to what I did.

Cash Shop, as previously mentioned, was being a jerk as far as buying stuff went. However, I was able to fully expand my inventory, and the storage slots. So I did that, and over the course of getting stuff from Cody, I got 12 mill, more Power Elixirs than I can count, some all-cures, and three rows each of Summoning Rocks and Magic Rocks.

First thing I did was go through all the advancements. So I was a level 7 Magician, then a level 7 Cleric, then a level 7 Priest, and finally a level 7 Bishop. I also had Cody do my AP up until level 70. So I’m also a level 7 Bishop with almost 300 INT. I was trying to spare my wrist some agony.

I took the gift of 100sp, and did the first job allocations. Then I learned all my 4th job skills with a click of a button, and then picked up two sets of my skill books. I’m still not quite sure how those work, and if there was a chance they’d fail, I wanted more than one.

Then I think I took away the SP I didn’t use, and I think that’s about all I did in total before what I’m assuming my big mistake was. I loaded up on SP (I have 300 to spend or something like that), because I wanted it, I guess. And then I decided to let Cody level me.. which, obviously, didn’t happen.

I think it’s a glitch that you can’t do Cody’s other stuff once you’ve committed to leveling, and I hope that’s fixed, because if I could get at the ‘eliminate extra SP/AP’ option, I could salvage the character.

Anyway, since I’m not certain she is salvageable, I put the 12 mill and my books and the power elixirs into the storage, and logged out.

If the consensus is that I perma-borked it, I don’t mind setting her up again. Maple Island is pretty easy, and I have a good idea of how to allocate the Skill Points.. I just need to be able to do it.

And I made reference to a lot of the screenies I took, but am too lazy to go back through the post and see where they should go, so they all get dumped at the end with captions.

So I somehow made a gallery, so let’s hope the captions match the pictures?

1. My chair (of victory!)
2. My quiz (of victory?)
3. Shanks, meeting v.1
4. Shanks, meeting v.2 (new and improved with chair!)
5. Shanks, meeting v.3
6. Shanks, meeting v.4 (Shanks pictures taken for Gloria, because I think she’s in love)
7. People dropping books like crazy. Also taken I think to highlight the Level 7 Cleric.
8. Level 7 Priest.
9. Level 7 Bishop, as well as all the amenities that Cody offers under the “Make job advancement” subheading.
10. What fourth job would you like to be today?

Much love if you actually read through all this..
