[YT] Eighth 100.000 viewed video!

Hi guys! Not too long ago, our Pokémon Battle Revolution - All Masters Battles video has reached 100.000 views! This makes for our eighth video to reach 100k, with this video in particular reaching it in three-and-a-half years.

I'm not sure when another video will hit 100.000, but it won't be any time soon unless on of our videos suddenly changes in growth drastically. Anyway, we're happy to see that this particular video has hit 100k!

Did you know that six of our thirteen Single-Part-Videos have reached this milestone? This includes our most recent ones we've released this year, and one SPV that we removed a couple of years ago.

That's it for today - I'll see you guys again next post!

[EMS] Ark - 5th Job's fourth wave!

It is finally here! Wait a minute.

Am I not extremely late with this blogpost, given the Ark update was released late June? Yeah, I definitely am. However, even if the Black update will be here in about a month... there is one skill from the Ark update that I refuse to ignore.

The Ark update introduced only a single 5th Job skill that many players won't even get their hands on, because it is unlocked after Level 235. And well, I've only hit Level 235 last week, so it was impossible for me to write a proper blogpost about it back when the Ark update came out.

The majority of Maple's community do not consider the Ark update to have a legit 5th Job skill wave, but I will have to disagree on this one. Today's blogpost will mainly about that one skill that people either don't know it exists or refuse to acknowledge it despite the game clearly considers it a full 5th Job skill: Spider in Mirror.

But before we dive into that web of information, there are also some other interesting 5th Job-related things to write about that came with the Ark update that I simply cannot avoid because they are also of importance.

[EMS] Level 235!

Ding! After almost four months of daily grinding, I've churned through five (!) levels. I'll take that break now.

While 3% a day isn't much of a time consuming task, I could tell that my mind slowly started to demand a break after three levels already. Fortunately I'm good at keeping a daily routine consistent, so the end result was obvious.

Probably the most difficult part of daily grinding is that at certain days I don't want to stop after I hit the daily target, and at other days I barely want to grind at all. The moment I press on the breaks, it's kinda difficult to get back on track. But at least there's been plenty of convenient events to prevent the grind from becoming boring, and I have a good dose of discipline to get back to work.

Anyway, 235 means unlocking the Esfera continent - which means I have my final Arcane Symbol unlocked! The Black update is coming next month, so hopefully I can get to start with Esfera dailies soon enough.

Also, having unlocked the Esfera symbol also means that I've unlocked the Spider in Mirror skill! Which means I'll start writing about the fourth 5th Job skill wave soon. Look forward to that!

[Lego] So, I just got this Sealed Box of #10134...

This has been a set that I've wanted to get my hands on when it came out, back in 2004. This year I've went through the effort of saving up enough to afford a sealed box and this one just arrived a couple of hours ago!

With the release of the new UCS Y-Wing (#75181) this year, the value of the old one has dropped by a significant amount. Not that it would've stopped me from getting #10134 this year, but it definitely has saved me something. Y'know, I can spend that in other LEGO® stuff. Such as my Constructor and Hailfire Droid projects.

Speaking of the new Y-Wing...

A funny and awesome opportunity that happened by coincidence. Before the new Y-Wing came out in stores about a half year ago, I came up with the crazy idea of building both Y-Wings simultaneously... So I kept my copy of the new Y-Wing sealed until I'll start building both at the same time.

Interestingly enough: both Y-Wing models are built in a similar fashion, so it's possible to build them side by side. Quite literally.

Did you know that despite both sets are Y-Wing models, they depict different Y-Wing types from the same squadron? For some reason, almost nobody talks about that and thus people seem to be mistakenly comparing two different Y-Wing models with each other. The old UCS Y-Wing set is said to be too long. On the contrary, it's actually accurate.

I'm going to make space in my room now to start building.
