The Road to Mirage, Week 8

(Sadly, the next post is short because I only could for half a week. As I had mentioned, I had been late with the rent, which cost me $70 of my Social Security check. Add in energy bills and trash/water bills, and that means I only have around $100-140 left in my account, not enough for even a month's worth of groceries unless I rough it on ramen and hot dogs. Because of that, every penny must go towards food and I cannot afford to buy anything too frivolous[unless I trade in some games for store credit and I only have one so far.] I spent $60 on PSN cards to pre-purchase something on my account and thus I am low on funds. Therefore, I have decided to stop playing Wizard101 and uninstall the launcher [or folder it] until next month. It's not a fun thing to do but sacrifices have to be made and I have a lot of backlogged games on my consoles I need to finish. Pray for me! :( )

(In the meantime, enjoy these two parts.)

I admit I took three days off. I just didn't feel in the mood to quest, until I found out that I had little time with Destiny until February. So I made the most of it by bumrushing it again.

First off was Zultun Docks and Cloudburst Forest, which weren't too hard. Destiny kept shrugging - why were the bad guys so dang predictable? :p

Destiny got a nice Balanceblade jewel for a future amulet...

Annnnnd her own Lord of Winter Experience. Ugh. :(

Then it was on to Alto Alto... and more shrugging. (Yeah, this was a Kodak moment; Destiny was right in the middle of the cutscene and was shrugging about how dumb Morgie was to ignore her.)

But she eventually hit Blessed Level 88...

And now she rules the skies! ^_^ (Sadly, Storm Owl was not cast as often as it should; 10 pips is a lot to ask for a powerful spell.)

After that, it was time to descend into Terra De Bria and Pitch Black Lake to stop Morgie from corrupting the Pyramid of Mother Moon...

Hold on a sec...

Sierra: "Resistance? WHAT resistance?" :p

Yep, Sierra was landing Criticals left and right(thanks to her staff) and even managed to one-shot unprismed Myth enemies. Destiny had a Storm Lord all set up and BOOM, Sierra steals the show.

Destiny: "Whose idea was it to give a War Challenge to this idiot? Oh yeah, that bird princess." X(

(Destiny nearly died in this battle. I was sort of ticked off too because of that cheat he used.)

Destiny: "Really?"

Destiny: "No, I did not, Morgie. Why do people think that they can kill a super-powerful warlock who could SHIELD by dropping a ton of rocks on her head? IT NEVER WORKS."

It was obvious that Morgie was always going to be fathoms ahead of our heroines. (Spoilers: I've cleared Azteca on three characters. I know how it goes down.)

Knowing that Azteca was doomed, I decided to... clean up my Azteca backlog, which wasn't easy. It was tons of mob fights and boss fights. The only easy one was collecting aquatic life for a stew for King Axeya to give to Pacal. Still, it did bring Destiny to the status of Promethean(Level 90)...

Destiny: "Sadly, that's my life. Storm spells aren't really great - ask any Pokemon trainer who tried to use Thunder." :(

And you know what THAT entails!

Yep, Tartarus. We managed to have Destiny and Sierra rope in a couple of guys(A Balance and an Ice) to help us out...

Destiny: "Ha! I rock!"

Adding the Storm Owl experience to her list, now she has all three elemental 10-pip spells cast on her! (Ouch!)

Of course, the Ice dude got his revenge by smashing Poseidon(who cast that Owl) with Lord of Winter's big ice pillars.

But it still wasn't easy. The battle vs. Hades was one of Destiny's most epic moments...

Sierra: "I HATE MAZES!" X(

And yeah, Sierra got lost in one of the Gorgon mazes while looking for Lionheatt Leaves, so she had to port out and come back and walk ALLLLLL the way back, taking up valuable time against Cerberus... and then she cast Mystic and failed to kill, triggering its gangbang cheat that killed Destiny. Cerberus is probably harder than Hades and his brothers! O_O

But in the end, it was worth it. Destiny got a lot of junk from the three Immortal Rulers. Hades dropped the Staff of Tumult, the same Ultimate Staff that Sierra got on her first Tart Run. Now Destiny will be critical-hitting for days, mwa ha ha! XD

And I decided to blow most of her Crowns on the second-chance chest and the second use of the chest... wait for it...

Yielded the Hades Ultimate Armor! Woo! 200 more crowns were spent unstitching the Skyscream Cape(I had worked hard for that!) and stitching in this to my transmog. (Yeah, it's not as rounded as the Skyscream Cape, but it gives pierce and power pip chance, and my gawd, we need all the power pip % we can get! Destiny had a hard time summoning the owl because she kept getting white pips.)

The week ended with a brief stint in the Floating Mountains which I didn't show. (I had no time to game because I had to help my dad with a community garden to get some money back in my bank account so I could eat. Ciao for now!)
