Welcome to New Civilization

Yesterday the new civilization Zeia has revealed itself to the pioneers of the new found world. For now the updates are visible through their official website.

(Upon browsing in the official site, this magnificent page will prompt you)


(The new Zeia inspired layout for the official SEAGE website)

And the sought after update is when Selva can be included in your barracks so be prepared to get her. But make sure you have the necessary quest to gain access of getting this lovely RNPC. The only thing that most pioneers are held up of not accessing the server is the problem of getting their client updated maybe due to high traffic. So see you around pioneers and I'll keep you posted pioneers.

GM Event: Pet Day

Pet on the block!

Novia summoned and ready to rumble

Today I made it through the Pet Day event, the GM was found at Jezebel Glen. Then after a while the GM summon us to event room. There we fought Novia, Vergo, (2x) Lava Leaf, and (2x) Griffon. Every time they die, wisps will appear and there you get loots. Unfortunately, the most decent loot was an Elite 84 Robe with 3DR option. And the sad part was the GM left without saying even a simple good bye. Anyway the idea for this kind of event was nice and further improvement will be expected by the pioneers of the new found world. So again, I'll keep you posted.

Peace at Poison Yard?

Yesterday night was the most peaceful Poison Yard super fight I went into. Imagine I just pass by them and they are busy farming Sunstone for Feso. Remember that sunstone (special stone to sell for feso) can be found through super fights and premium territories.

So how can I get one? At super fights just kill normal mobs there and also include super fight raid boss. On the other hand, in premium territories, just look for a monster that carries a treasure chest which are usually dull in color but luminous. The other source of Feso inside premium territories are the announced mini boss so make sure you pawn them before other family does.

Well unfortunately pioneers, avoid no mercy factions who does not understand the tagged word "Farming" inside any super fights. I'll keep you posted pioneers and good luck on farming stones for feso!

Discover version 2.9

We will have some new features to discover in this upcoming version and I hope the pioneers will love the features. The version offers; the pet system, new missions, new RNPC costumes, ogre and werewolf series, Calyce Bernelli, Claire, and maybe the feso system. Well these features may be reveal soon the version 2.9 is available to all pioneers of the new found world.

So for download site in regards with version 2.9 please CLICK HERE.

Hope you enjoy the new version fellow pioneers. Again I'll keep you posted. Good luck to your exploration!

Blood Fest for Rembrandt

(Holders of 1st CW in Rembrandt; All Stars -5, Osiris -4, Destiny -4, Le Conquistador-3,
Templars -2, Symbols -2, Outcasts -1, Resonance -1, and Eminence -1)

It seems the new pioneers of Rembrandt knew their target in this Colony War. And the results are pretty obvious as you look through the territories.

I agree on the idea that in this server merge, the pioneers along with their factions will unite to try and take down their former server tyrants. And I think most of the pioneers love the result of this first Colony Wars for Rembrandt. But the next question is, will this result be consistent or they will try another path to change things up? But do take note - a good alliance is better than good equips because numbers still count.

Well who knows, its for you to decide pioneers so good luck. Congratulations to the first Colony holders of Rembrandt Server.

Carracci's Gate Keeper is Down

At around 15:56-14:00 an act of Valor was announced throughout the server of Carracci when the Gate Keeper falls.

Indeed the faction leader Nostradamus, of Eminence Faction, put end on the rumored Gate Keeper and opened the new route to Tierra Putrafecta and Chaos Requiem. Congratulations to Eminence faction for a job well done.

Though I don't have the chance to see the downfall of Gate Keeper, I choose to move around the place that was hidden in the eyes of pioneers for quite a long time. The following images are taken after the downfall of Gate Keeper.

(Weeee my first step in Tierra Putrafecta~)



(The infamous Bust in Chaos Requiem~)

(Inside Bahama Internia where another exploration awaits~)

There is this warp portal inside the dungeon which puts another mystery on how to get further. But I suspect this is the room for a raid boss shown on Chaos Requiem expansion video. Hope you pioneers out there try to visit it. Again congratulations to Eminence Faction for putting Carracci as the second server who opened Chaos Requiem.

The one they call "The Snake"

The cave of Bahamas doesn't stop with KOG or King of Greed in the first floor. After the slay of King of Greed, a way-point will open leading to the 2nd floor of Bahamas Cave and there you'll meet the nemesis of the underground cave.

They way-point am referring to is located in D6 left portion of cave (cave route from marshland) and H7 right portion of cave (cave route from peril).

When you get inside the 2nd level of the cave proceed with caution and take down all the Uraeus' Egg. After destroying the Eggs go at the center of the map which is F7 and meet him.

Uraeus must be defeated 3 times with intervals. Because it will go like this; Kill Uraeus, Uraeus rest, Kill Eggs, Uraeus awakes and kill again, Uraeus rest, Kill Eggs, and so on til you kill him at the third time. And voila it is done for.

Hope you pioneers venture the underground cave and try to check him out. Maybe your squad or faction are lucky enough to take him down. So again good luck pioneers and enjoy another raid.

Its not just Novia

Indeed Novia is one of the popular icons in Granado Espada. But I think it'll be more better if we know other resident in this chilling plain of Ice Wizard Tower.

And yes meet another weird looking lizard in robe, his name is Elmorc. You can see him around the vast frozen plain and outskirts of Ice Wizard Tower. Remember this one is also hard to crack; decent defense, decent regeneration rate, and ice elemental damage that surely pioneers will say "ouch" in every AOE cast. It is adviced that you work as a squad if you doubt on your equips and it will be more handy if you have Elementalists using the lightning stances.

Pioneers enjoy meeting this guy and I hope you pawn 'em for experience. Or else Novia might tell you her powerful punch line...

Table Mountain in Granado Espada?

If you are just a pioneer who is satisfied of grinding, raids, colony wars, etc. Think again maybe your GE life is getting boring!

I was wondering around at Deprimida Valley when I passed through this amazing sight. And yup your eyes is not fooling you. Table Mountain of Capetown is here in Granado Espada. I really find it amusing seeing such scenery and I hope you guys were too.

So pioneer again, I'll keep you posted.

Fish in the Desert?

Well this was the first time I've seen this though the pioneering memorial of Deprimida Valley has a mission about it.

And yes, you are not blind, a fish in the outskirts of Deprimida Valley and looks like the other one at Bahama Marshland. And to tell you pioneer this one is hard to crack. Imagine this map boss walks fast and cast a huge AOE of curse that will surely slow you down and it is annoying. Not to mention Dream Blade Antelope has they same tactic.

If you see this guy around make sure you have a handful of people so your damage is progressive because his regeneration rate was quite fast.

So again pioneers, I'll keep you posted. Tata~

Random Hugs and Kiss

I had to admit any involvement on continuous raids and power leveling made me felt my GE life is getting boring. Thanks to random people they made me laugh. In the City of Auch, I was having some trades with other player when someone hugs at my Catherine the Summoner.

Well I thought it was once but another player at the way point plays kisses with my family. I know its pretty odd but it was worth playing around to brighten up your day.

This maybe too late but I after some research about previous colony results, now the time is right for me to say "Congratulations Eminence Faction" for being the first faction to occupy all the colonies in Carracci Server.


And wait there is a new update and I hope those who love soldier rnpc will like this;

28 August 2008: "Soldier's Week"

Reboldoeux Soldier Costume	Reboldoeux Soldier Exclusive Costume
Coimbra Trooper Costume	Coimbra Trooper's Exclusive Costume

Thats all for now pioneers, I'll keep you posted.

Marshland Resident

For those who are fond of staying at the Bahama Marshland I think you should know whose the resident in this joint. Well if ever you are at AFK mode he might punish your family badly.

I introduce to you Swamp Merman Eater, actually the first time I had an encounter with him he reminds me of a fish that we call in the Philippines "Tilapia" or "St. Peter's Fish" which is my favorite fish to eat. But I don't like the feel of seeing him because he has Dino-leg and scaled long neck gives me the creeps of not eating my favorite fish. If you check on his stats he is quite a monster to take down with 57AR/DR. So if you are not an expert or not in a squad to take this down he'll make you cry.

Oh reminders pioneers we have this after maintenance:

21 August 2008: "Battlesmith Week"
Release of Veteran Stances:

Mighty Cruz	[Combat Stance] Polearm
Low-Guard	[Combat Stance] Sabre
Raid Assault	[Combat Stance] Two handed dagger
Idge the Battlesmith'	Idge the Battlesmith RNPC Card

For all the pioneers have a pleasant day and I hope you will like whats in store for you today. I think its time for me to play console games when Granado Espada is not up yet.

Confusion on Bahamas Quest

Currently I was on the progress of working on Bahamas Quest and there are some area that might get confusing. So somehow I will share some things that may give you some interest and maybe you might encounter.

The first one that hinders my quest was finding the tombstones all over Bahamas. It was easy for me to hunt down the tombstones because of Giliam's quest archives in the sGE official forums. Funny thing was, the tombstone in coordinates F5 Swamp of Eternity doesn't have any trigger. I don't know maybe its a bug or something, let the Admins check on this one.

The second one was Mystery Medicine quest which is part of Bahamas quest. After getting the Mysterious Water from an Elite Amber Bee at Swamp of Eternity. A trigger quest updates then into "You need 100 each of these: Pure Etretanium, Quartz, and Aidanium". Most of the players mistook the part "Quartz and Aidanium" they always think its Pure Quartz and Pure Aidanium. To pioneers please be noted that this refers to "Quartz" and "Aidanium" only which can be obtain in lower level maps.

I'll keep you guys posted on things around Granado Espada that most of the pioneers encounter. Again, have a pleasant day pioneer!

Unusual Day

Too bad for today, our ISP provider made my gaming experience miserable. Anyway, I will try to venture the rumored "Tierra Putrefacta" once my connection become stable. Then I will give you guys some information and current state if this map can be explored by pioneers or rumors of taking down the guardian with joined server effort.

Arena of the Ancients

Yesterday our faction proceed to Arena of the Ancients also named as "El Antiguo Patrimonio" to explore and observe on how things go. And because it is my first time to explore this instance, I will share to you guys my experience.

First, because we are aligned to the republicans, we moved to the republican faction member located at Thueringen Lakeside in coordinates D6. Then a portal will be open once the notice announced that the portal is opened.

Then when we went inside the huge arena. After some minutes we encountered the Ancient Gerelo which gives the raiders some time to take down. After defeating Ancient Gerelo, a portal was opened to the middle, and our next adversary was summoned - Ancient Diablo! This time he does more punishment and he not an ordinary Diablo because his AOE (Area of Effect) has more range than the regular. After the raiders took down Ancient Diablo, decent number of level 100 chips was scattered on the floor. Luckily one of our faction mate got his share.

After the raiders defeated Ancient Diablo, another portal was opened that took us to two platforms. Unfortunately we seem to be stuck and the next anticipated boss does not show up. I don't if its a bug that Ancient Hell Breaker didn't shown up but this arena is really unique.

Gate of Fire: My Exploration

There are unusual places in Granado Espada thus pioneers don't have any idea whats in store for them. So I will share some thing about my experience in the Gate of Fire.

The gate of fire is located in the dry lands of Topolo Durga which is situated beside Tetra Hill. The monsters within the pool of fire has high resistance from fire damage thus they have less resistance from ice damage so it is advisable that squads must bring Elementalists with them or any other characters that may decrease elemental damage from the pool. There are necessary strategy on how to manage the mobs and it depends on the strategist of a faction. Proper equipment is also required to engage in this raid instance and make sure you reach at least 57 DR (defense rate) and above to absorb punishment.

Now the faction must have at least more than a squad to summon Lava Leaf by activating pillars. And then do your best to slay the summoned boss. A good strategy is the key to finish this quest and you might get rewarded by an array of Fire Series suitable for the next instance mission - the Gate of Lightning.

Bahama Map: My first step

After this week's maintenance, I only have one thing on my mind and that is exploring the region of Bahama. And there is no one who can stop me from exploring it except for the monsters so powerful they can own my family.

(Welcome to Bahama Camp where your exploration start)

So how do we get there? For the pioneers who are not well familiar on traveling around I will help you out on how to get there. You should start at Port of Coimbra then make sure you have a ticket that permits you to go at Ustiur Base Camp. Once you get to Ustiur Base Camp, there are series of zones; Zona Uno - Zona Quatro. So as a family to reach Bahama, you should finish the quests incorporated in accessing different zones. Because the last zone which is Zona Quatro lies the entrance to Bahama Camp. Bahama Camp's entrance at Zona Quatro is at coordinates D5. Once you get there, voila enjoy sightseeing through the swamps.

After I had a pose at the Bahama Camp, now I move to the marshland were the residents are quite different in there appearance but fortunately my family can handle them. There are areas on the marsh which are random because there are coordinates that teleports you to another location of the marsh. I've also tried the pioneering memorial in the area, and after killing 150 crabs in this region, it gave me a level 9 pioneering seal and an experience card which gives hundred decimal in your experience without a manual.

(I don't want to imagine how it feels to be soaked in this marsh)

(A weird man with chest on its head and a crab without pincer)

The I tried some other areas in the map like the first level cave of Bahama but the creatures there aren't that easy to kill because most of them possess the AR (Attack Rating)/DR (Defense Rating) of 57 which is really hard to handle. So IAH was really serious about the families who want to explore the other regions must at least reach the Expert Status.

(The cave's hall was really nice to look at but the mobs in there~ I don't think so)

My visit in the Bahama Region was nice after all. Though there are information saying that quests are involve to get new series of weapon and armor. Hope you guys work on your characters to Expert status to enjoy the map itself and the equipments that are in store for you.

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!
