Hot Adventuring Fellow Action or: How I Learned To Slaughter Ladybugs by the Dozens

With our Linkshell members busy doing real life shit (crazy talk!!!) Almeth and I, once again, have had some free time to kill lately. Outside of the obligatory Thursday Assault Runs, and helping Reflaa get through the beginnings of the Wings of the Goddess crap, we didn't really have a lot going on. That being said, we've gotten back into getting some levels on our Adventuring Fellows. We've still got a long way to go, but we've found a pretty damn efficient way to accomplish our goals and make a little bit of money while we do it.

Now that Almeth and I are both 65, the Ladybugs and Colibri are easy enough that we can tackle multiple mobs at once, and by multiple I mean 5 or 6. With Almeth's Treasure Hunter the Ladybug Wings drop like water, the mobs are high enough level to give max Exp for our fellows, so we've been capping them out in like 10 minutes. It's been fun as shit (really really fun), and I'm gonna miss being able to do this when our fellows get higher. At our NPC's levels now (I think 38 and 37, although I could be wrong) we've still got some time before that happens...which is awesome. ^^

At any rate, some pics for posterity:

Fighting 5 Ladybugs and 3 Colibri simultaneously. This is the rare time when they were all relatively lined up; normally we just get swarmed...


Gust Slash {You can have this}!


Only 4 this time; our Adventuring Fellows must be getting exhausted...


And then there were 3...


This time it's 4 Colibri and 4 ladybugs...I dunno why but I just find this all hysterical. I wonder what people think when they run by and see us surrounded by mobs ^^


After 10 minutes or so, our Fellows were done for the day...but the carnage didn't end there.


Almeth, in a move of pure brilliance, decides to break out his recently acquired Valentione's Day stuff and get some club skillups...it was retarded how fast he got skillups ^^


I like to call this piece "Good God, Man!" Basically it's a cut and paste job illustrating just how frigging fast Almeth was racking up those club skillups. This is only about 5 minutes or so worth of chat logs...the red boxes outline the solid chunks...triple attack ftw!!


"Good God, Man! Part Deux"...again, the red boxes highlight the solid blocks of skill ups this guy was getting. Needless to say, I'm going to make it a point to bring out some dumpy weapon myself and do the same thing next time...

So there you have it. What we learned today:

• Leveling your Adventuring Fellow on Ladybugs fucking rocks!
• If you're high enough level, just grab as many as you can at once as possible...it's full of lulz!
• If you have a low enough weapon skill in something, skill up on Ladybugs!

This is Deuce, signing off...
