Feso farming 101

Like I mentioned in my previous post, there's really a need to farm for the 3rd currency called Fesos, if not for the pet food and the other neat goodies found in the Feso item shop. But how does one acquire this kind of in-game money anyway?

For a quick, basic rundown on how to obtain Fesos, here's a very informative article from the GE website.

Now as mentioned, you can get the Sun Stones, Moon Stones and Growth Stones at the various FT, AT and Super Fight maps. For the paid dungeon areas, you need to kill the rare spawning Treasure Mob found in random locations all over the area.


Treasure mobs in AT and FT

Take note that these mobs are more often than not invisible, meaning that they can't be normally killed by the melee and long-ranged character classes. You need to have the Elementalist or the Wizard ready with AOE skills to take down these invisible creatures. I haven't tried the Wizard for these farming sessions, so I'd recommend you bring the Elementalist in your team to cast the Elemental Strife skill to pin down the elusive vermin.

This also means that you should avoid AFK-ing for the meantime in AT or FT so you can stand by just in case these mobs appear in your spot.

As for the Super Fight maps, you can always hunt for the stones by killing the normal mobs. It's a rare drop, so better be alert for anything laid on the ground as well as for any hostile people as it is a PK enabled map.

Happy farming!

OC turns one year!

If there was one place in GE where I felt most at home, it would have to be the non-PK server formerly known as Carracci. Contary to what most players would say about the "carebear server", there are tons of benefits in playing in a non-PK world, one of which involves cultivating meaningful friendships unencumbered by the competition aspect of the game.

This is why I feel really blessed to have been previously taken in by the Outcasts Faction, the hardcore PH gamers of the said server. Back then when I moved in, the group was headed by Obviar, and then later on, by †Bayushi†. Now under the leadership of Southernsky, the OC Faction is going stronger than ever.

Elite friendship over elite items. This is the core mantra of the group, and one of the reasons why it remains standing strong and proud to this day. Last October 25, OC celebrated its one year as a faction. Together with the PH members of Destiny, the guys organized an EB of sorts in Chinensis' house to commemorate one year of friendship. The celebration was also held in conjunction with some of OC's birthday celebrants, Chinensis and Device.

Congratulations, Outcasts! Keep the flame burning for PH gamers!

Here are some pictures from their gathering. Thanks to Chinensis & Southernsky for the copies! ^^

Winners one and all! (l-r) Fiksdotter, Chinensis, Leonne, RyuHirohata, Mangyantribe, Southernsky, EldeonRose, Arkcraft, Zoldyack

Friends from Destiny: Fiksdotter (in white), Reclusion (in brown), EldeonRose (in yellow with his back turned XD), Zoldyack (in red) and the faction-less Leonne (in green, partly hidden)

Cheers to Outcasts! (l-r) Chinensis, Santoss, Fiksdotter, Southernsky, Leonne

Why we should all strive to earn those Fesos...


If you're drooling over these stance rings, well, you betcha I'm gonna earn those coveted Fesos! These rings come with 30 day deadlines, but still...who wouldn't want those stance rings?!?

The Feso price is rather steep though. >_<
There are a whole load of other useful stuff being sold for the said currency (like Calyce's vet skill book, Sagitta, pet food, portable ammo, etc.). I suggest you talk to the Feso merchant in every city to acquaint yourself with all the goodies you can get using this new currency.

For a rough info on how to acquire Fesos, click here.

In other news...


I've been failing miserably at this Pet Egg quest. I just dumped the entire thing altogether, bought 2 eggs from a good soul who was selling at Auch (and thanks to NineMoons as well), and now the egg is comfortably hatching at the Bahia Greenhouse. I'll have a pet Pilfurr pretty soon!

Exciting! ^_^

Eye candy stuff in v.3.0

This may be a bit too advanced to talk about, especially since I'm just waiting for the hours to pass by before the servers are officially up (and ultimately, for a sneak peek on v.2.9), but what they hey, I really need to kill time.

Among the things I'm looking forward in v.3.0 (aside from the kick-ass Aztec-looking RNPCs) are, of course, the costumes! Blame it on the fact that I like dressing up my characters (harharhar). Anyway, here's what I managed to scrimp off the Korean GE Hanbiton site:

Pretty little Elem in her fairy bob 'do

Female Wiz shows less skin, while the Female Musk bares all.

The Male Musk looking so 80s, with *gasp* a pet pig?!?

It seems like aside from Pilfurr (Grabbermon) and Broomy (the voodoo looking pet), there will also be a screaming pink pig pet! I do love pig characters, but her eyes in this picture looks kinda off. I dunno, maybe it's just me *shrugs*.

On another note, I'm loving the new non-PK server, Rembrandt. Merging with the Pachelbel people is the nicest thing to happen in-game.

Watching role-played dramu unfold in Coimbra.

Getting to know the friendly and charming people of Pachelbel is so much fun. I finally got to meet Alfender (FL of the all-girl faction, Les) and Bringston, who staged the Auch Police Drama RPG on the first day of the server merge. It's a refreshing thing to witness with all the emo drama happening in Carracci prior to the merge.

Anyway, that's just about my small updates for the meantime. I can't wait for v.2.9! I'm still deciding on whether to get a Pilfurr or Broomy for a pet. Hehehe. See ya then!

Out with the pink...

...and in with the more ancient feel. ^^

But, gah, my widgets were deleted. I managed to scrimp off the GE Bloggers list from my old template. If any of my co-bloggers don't see their names in the list, drop me a line so I can add you.

I'll continue updating the links in the morning. Must. Sleep.

DeSanggria hops away, a year older. =^_^=
