Reach for the Star

Yesterday was considerably one of the highlights of my gaming life. And I want to share this little accomplishment of mine. After collecting the 12 symbols of the constellation, with the aid of my faction mates, I have succesfully crafted one of the constellation series and in this case I choose "Hamal's Leadership" a constellation polearm. So why did I wrote this down, for the simple reason of breaking some myth about crafting this weapon series.

After giving the 12 symbols to Queen Hamaan of Zeia, she will give you options of what recipe you want to get from her. But it never stops there, she will ask you for the second time so if you are having doubts about your selection you may undo it. For what I saw and comprehend, the constellation recipe is tradeable.

Now lets see how to get the following ingredients needed to craft this weapon. The recipe requires 3 pcs of Veteran chips which can be acquired thru instanced missions (drop table update applies per regional server) and if you managed to break an Ancient weapon crafted from Damaged Ancient Glaziums. We have Melee weapon crystal - Grade 30, in my case I used level 100 sword breaker for this. The Ancient runes 50 pcs Te and 50 pcs An, well you can farm this in the outskirts of Zeia though in my case I bought them. And the last ingredient, 10 pcs Ambrosia, which you can buy in the premium item shop but if you got enough vis you can buy this from other players.

So which character is used to craft this weapon? For what I know you must use an Expert character to craft the recipe because the series is exclusive for experts. In my case I used my expert Claude to accomplish this.

And there you go, your very own constellation weapon. There are various constellation weapon under the sleeves of the Queen but unfortunately for you to get another one you have to get all the 12 symbols again. In addition, the process of enhancing and enchanting were the same though in terms of impervium you should use the expert imperviums to enhance beyond +5. I hope this little information will help pioneers if they plan to craft this series. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Dig It!

After some busy week of going back and forth to some real life appointments, I relieved myself by buying some neat costume for my male Elementalist. Well to my personal opinion most of the costumes designed for male Elementalist has no love added to it. Peace out developer of Granado Espada but I guess you redeemed yourself for giving this out to players like me who loves male Elementalist.

I was really glad to have this one and am proud to post it here on my blog. The Dignite costume Elementalist. This premium costume is tradeable along with the Dignite that can be crafted through Andre's Quest. So if you want to get hang and feel the spirit of the Masquerade, go and get one. At least now I love my male Elementalist more! Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Suggestion: Costume over items

I've been reading the official forums of SEA Granado Espada and there are some topics that really caught my attention and I think it makes sense. Granado Espada has vibrant back costumes lately though it has no special stats unlike the well used premium back wings Lucifer and Devil that gives you additional stats. Here are their suggestions from the official forums of SEA Granado Espada.

"Is it possible to have weapon costume?..." by Grid


"Would it be possible to have permanent costume slot..." by ringofchaos

For now I am with the idea of putting additional equipment slot for back costume. But if I think about the IAH's side, they might say not most of the players are not using the premium back item Lucifer and Devil wings so there is no point of putting another slot for costume over an item. Well if this suggestion work it'll be nice to see pioneers enjoying their back costumes along with their premium wings. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Welcome to version 2.9

After the server maintenance most of the pioneers are overwhelmed of what happened to Granado Espada. There are things noticeable in this game; from UI tool tip, new RNPC, new NPC, Feso system, and most especially the pet system.

Well there are some questions like where could the pet quest begin? What is Feso? Where is Calyce? There are answers that I can share to you.

For the pet quest go a Pet Expert located outside of Bahia. Talk to him twice to trigger quest. Next he will tell you to snatch an egg. Proceed to first zone of Island of Fire. Look for a stone, take note this is a clickeable stone, then you are brought to hidden mushroom cave. Once you snatch the egg go back to Pet Expert. He will bring you to an instance mission, remember eliminate the cute mother and don't let Pet Expert die. After this go back to Pet Expert, he will bring you to the green house and look for an unhatched egg. Then you are to visit the egg with a total of 3 Days visit, take note this is literal 24 hour increment. Then after that prepare to feed your own pet and in return it will serve you right.

Next is the Feso system. Okay there are questions where to get this currency. Base from RCM Hrin herself, there are loots from; Forgotten Territories, Ancient Territories, and Superfights that drops moonstone and sunstone that can be sold to Feso Market in exchange for Feso.

Okay where is Calyce Bernelli? She can be found inside Pegadilla in the Port of Coimbra. Just do some easy scenario quests and give off 50 mysterious powder. And congratulations! You successfully have her in your family. Oh by the way don't get confused on her story, again she is female not male!

One of the issues right now are some changes in consumables like the 30-day Combat Manual is gone from the list of Premium Items at Leticia. And the most controversial is the Microphone and Mega phones that is now converted as premium item, that can be bought for 150-200 G-Points.

My personal opinion about the microphone and megaphone turning them to premium, IAH is trying to eliminate vis sellers who are 24/7 spamming the broad. Yes there are ways that they could get their asses to promote vis selling but it will somehow ease the broad space. For others this is unfair because this is the only way they could sell their wares. But the point is, yes its kinda hassle to most of the pioneers though we must remember that broad has been a source of scamming, broad hate, and senseless broads. On the other hand, IAH should explain their opinion about this and most especially the 30-day Combat Manual that is now gone at the premium item shop.

So again pioneers I'll keep you posted!

Novia vs Fiksdotter

After a while of doing the long quests just to acquire Gavin for my family, at last I got him. So this is how I do it.

Family Used: Vet Fighter, Vet Wizard, Vet Elementalist

Equipments used:

Fighter

Level 84 +4 Elite Plate Male +3DR
Level 92 +4 Elite Dragon Tooth +70% Human
Level 92 +4 Elite Castor Shield
Level 40 10% aspd Idge's Gauntlet
Level 40 5 eva 5% Hp up Idge's Boots

Wizard

Level 84 +5 Elite Staff of Simurgh
Level 100 +4 Claro Mago

Elementalist

Level 100 +4 Bracelet of Ziz
Level 92 +5 Elite Skullic Bracelet +3AR
Level 84 +4 Elite Robe of Uranus +3DR
Wise Man's Necklace *Quest Item +3AR/DR*
1 pc Chain Lightning Ring
1 pc Lightning Ring

Misc Consumables
1 Offensive Fillers
1 Triumph Fillers
1 Defensive Fillers
1 Mystic Ampule

Here is the process on how Novia was pawned in my case. Fighter moves some steps forward till +5AR/DR buff (Will of the Veteran) activates at the same time let my Wizard and Elementalist move as far as they can before the mission starts. After the conversation, Fighter buffed with +5AR/DR will provoke the three guards along Montoro. Then move to a safe place that Novia can't damage you with her AOE (Area of Effect) and attention span will not trigger against your team. If so, activate Misc Consumables as quickly as possible, in this scenario electric charge buff and magic barrier was cast and then I do the damage on the provoked with lightning skill. Repeat the process of casting lightning to the provoked until they die and Novia was the one left. Remember when facing Novia, make sure you are on foot at 5AR/DR buff or else she might smite you effortlessly. Do the same thing, provoke Novia and cast lightning. Remember maintain buff, provoke, lightning skill, and spam heal type potion. And a piece of advice, among the five only Monotoro can detect invisible units so use invisible potion only when situation asks for it.

Well if you think that it is impossible for you to finish this quest. The safest way to do this is when you reach the expert level to avoid misuse of premium consumables.

Today am happy because this is yet another accomplishment for my family and at least I am one of the people who can prove Veteran Families can finish this quest. Special thanks to AlphaOmega of Destiny Faction for the quest run through, Sovincine of Destiny Faction for free Katovic Soup, Reclusion of Destiny Faction, Yogen of All Stars Faction, and Xei of Takhisis Faction.

My First Ever Adelina Booty Search

Yesterday when I was creating my blog entry for the post E-Games domination, Reclusion informed me to top-up my GVC and try my luck because I haven't tried Adelina Booty Search. Then I topped up my GVC that only gives me 3 chances for the search. After that I pressed 3 random searches and this is the result.

Wow I was lucky! Not to mention this is my first Adelina Search! So Granado Espada players out there try your luck, maybe you can get better items much as I have through Adelina search.

My Kurt and 92 elite quest

In this article, I will share my experience about the Los Toldos Baron Quest along with creation of 92 Elite Equipment. So we shall start on the Baron Quest and at the last part we'll proceed on the 92 Elite Equipment Quest. So pay attention.

We have to prepare some important things before you activate the quest. First you must have a package of Del Los Muertos that can be bought through G-Points worth 22,000 GP. This package is composed of 90 Mystery Powder, 1 Otite Perfume (1 day), and 1 Wheel of Destiny (1 day).

(Tierra De Los Muertos Map)

[This quest is applicable to non-PK servers, any changes may vary due to server difference.]

(Mamon your access to Los Toldos)

(Inside Los Toldos hideout of Barons)

1. Equip your wheel of destiny to one of you characters. Then activate your otite perfume. Enter to Los Toldos through Mamon of Deserted Quay.

(Kurt inside the wrecked ship in Los Toldos)

2. Move to Kurt and talk to him using the character equipped with wheel of destiny.

(Your access to Tierra - The Gloomy Old Man)

(Welcome to land of the dead. So as the soundtrack here)

3. Kurt will have a good reaction on your character having the wheel of destiny. So your first quest is to enter Tierra De Los Muertos. He will let you kill certain number of undead inside Tierra De Los Muertos.*

(Don't worry it is part of quest. Rumors say it is random)

4. After accomplishing the first quest, Kurt will demonstrate his power. You will be defeated so don't worry. After being defeated, talk to him again and a quest will be triggered.

(Mysterious Eduardo at his hideout somewhere in the outskirts)

5. Kurt will ask you to find Eduardo and give a letter to him. Eduardo is located at E3 of Tierra De Los Muertos. There is a pillar of tombstone there, simply click it to reveal the secret hideout of Eduardo. After accomplishing this move back to Kurt.*

(Nice eyes don't you think? Amazing he grasps a great sword as one hand)

6. Kurt will now ask you to hunt down a Mueletos Chief. It is located at G9 of De Los Muertos. After defeating the Chief move back to Kurt.*

(The ruined town in the center of Tierra De Los Muertos)

7. Then Kurt now will ask you to investigate at De Los Muertos located at G7. Look for the cask, broken box, and woodpile. Now return to Kurt and report about the investigation.*

(Oh yeah Montoro on the house, giving you a warm welcome)

8. Kurt will further ask your assistance by moving at B6 De Los Muertos. He will hand over 5 invisible potions. When reaching B6 activate the potion to your team's leader. A scene will activate. Then you will face Montoro himself.*
9. When you defeated Montoro move back to Kurt and he ask you to stop Montoro completely. He will again hand over another 5 invisible potion. Return to B6 repeat the procedure at number 8. You will face the stronger Montoro. It was said you can die here and precede the quest.*
10. Kurt will now ask you to hunt for 10 pure otite. You can activate this pure otite hunt by getting it to white beard man. After accomplishing this submit this to Kurt. This time will now ask you to deliver a letter to Eduardo and Eduardo will ask you to give his reply to Kurt.*

11. Kurt will now ask you to visit G7 of De Los Muertos, located in the middle of map, just simply step on the ruined colony of the area. Then an E-Drama will be executed, revealing the betrayal.*

12. This is the point you are waiting for. You will choose whose side are you on "Kurt's suggestion" and "Eduardo's suggestion". Just simply visit the RNPC you want to get the card after finishing the instance at number 11.

(In this case I side with Kurt. So I killed Eduardo for this quest)

13. After choosing side, visit the RNPC who you don't side with and kill it. But there are rumors that even though you don't defeat one of them, you can still acquire their card.

14. When you finished step number 13, just hand over the 70 mystery powder and now you can welcome him to your family. Congratulations!

Now let us move to crafting 92 elites inside Los Toldos. I will share my experience on how to get one. So we will focus on getting elite level 92 equipment.

We have to prepare 30 mysterious powders for moving back and forth Los Toldos and Tierra De Los Muertos, ingredients like pure ores, the spirit that can be acquired through special unique either mysterious steel piece, three pieces of level 92 enhancement chip, and pure otite that in progress you will acquire along your hunt quest.

1. Talk to gloomy old man.
2. Select getting pure otite.
3. Then select for a quest option for pure otite.
4. Now move inside Tierra De Los Muertos.
5. After killing 100 undead soldiers move back to Los Toldos.
6. Submit the otite pieces to gloomy old man.
7. He will hand over 1 - 2 pure otite.
8. Repeat the process until you reach the pure otite requirement.

Tips.

1. You can do otite pure quest every time you get in Tierra De Los Muertos. This is applicable after Kurt asks you to hunt for 10 pure otite pieces.
2. Full squad is highly recommended for faster farming.
3. I strongly suggest that you bring exactly or more than 30 mystery powder for this quest. If there are chances you got disconnected.
4. Save in front of Mamon just in case you got disconnected.

(Gathered Materials)

(Equipment now crafted)

Facts:
1. Each baron 92 elite recipe costs one million vis and cannot be traded until being crafted.
2. At the anvil, drag-drop the unique item to refine it as spirit. But make sure to pick it up after dragging it at the anvil.
3. Some undead mob has skills so don't underestimate them especially when you are not that well equipped.
4. The character card quest will take at least 2 and a half hours if you will exclude pure otite hunt.
5. If in full squad during pure otite hunt, it is possible to accomplish 100 undead counts in every 3-5 minutes.
6. At least prepare 120 or more mystery powder to accomplish 92 elite equipment quest along with character card quest.
7. Level 92 elite equipments has natural glow so enjoy.

Hope this guide will somehow help other players especially who owns family in a non-PK server. This quest kills me for more than 12 hours but it really pays off. So dedicate a time for this quest if you really want to finish this. Remember now, your g-points is at stake well you don't like wasting premium items don't you? Thanks again and enjoy!
