[EMS] Level 239! Level 240!

Ding! Geez, how long has it been since I was allowed to use a Storm Growth Potion on Rayque? I think the last time I've used one was back when I was between Level 180 and Level 190, which was in 2012.

Anyway, these modern Level Up potions can only be used up to Level 240 for an instant level. These can still be consumed after Level 240, but it only gives EXP equal to the required EXP from 239 to 240. That should give me almost 50% on between 240 and 250, so I suppose that's not too bad either.

I'm going to grab some food and go to bed now. I'm tired and hungry. It's been a long day, and that grind to Level 239 for that final 17% took several hours so...

[EMS] Fourth Level 20 Arcane Symbol GET!

Hi guys! Today my Arcane Symbol for Lacheln has reached Level 20, which means it's maxed out! The events during the Black update has saved me from doing an additional two months of daily Dream Breaker...

Lacheln has been my slowest Arcane Symbol to level, because I've always been stuck with a low-to-decent clear score for Dream Breaker. In fact, I've almost been doing Dream Breaker for 1,5 years on a daily basis. It would've been close to 2 years if it weren't for the amount of event perks and a generous sum of Arcane Symbol Selectors...

When Dream Breaker came out in the Summer of 2017, I've been stuck with a maximum clear score of 10 floors. It took several weeks until I managed to get past floor 20, and then I've been benched at floor 30 for several months. It was only until much later in 2018 where I managed to reach floor 50.

With Dream Breaker you're able to obtain up to 500 Dream Coins daily, which then can be exchanged for Lacheln Symbols at an exchange rate of 30 Coins = 1 Symbol. As you may have guessed: you get one coin for each floor you clear. You also get three runs a day.

Lacheln is notoriously known for being the slowest Arcane Symbol to max out. Even if you're capable of defeating high end bosses on your own or max out with Spirit Savior, that doesn't mean you'll do well during Dream Breaker. The HP scaling each floor is significant, and only a handful of people in EMS are able to get the maximum daily score.

That said, even if you do manage to obtain 10 Symbols a day (which is clearing Floor 100 three times a day), you're still stuck with doing these dailies for almost a year. It's common with Lacheln to have only 3~8 symbols a day. And if you don't believe me, just ask around or look at the Dream Breaker rankings yourself.

So it's not like I maxed out my Arcane Symbol for Lacheln because I have a high clear score. I've just been stubborn enough to do Dream Breaker on a daily basis, and diligently work on it without skipping a day. And guess what, I still managed to max it out, regardless on how slow it went.

Four down, two left! For now, that is...

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

[EMS] Aura Weapon - Level 30!

Alright! The Black update has really been that generous with Nodestones huh? Aura Weapon went straight from Level 9 to 25 and I still have plenty of Nodestones left for purchase.

I won't reach another Level 25 within the event period, but the combination of having a maxed out Sword of Burning Soul and Aura Weapon is pretty important. Being able to have Aura Weapon out for 140 seconds and with only a cooldown of 40 seconds is great. Let's not forget that the activation of crescents (which currently doesn't always want to happen at the right moments) will be improved later this year...

For now, the next skill in line is Combo Instinct. I'm currently at a position where increasing the rift damage on it could make a huge difference for certain boss runs.

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

[EMS] Level 238!

 

Ding! First blogpost of 2019.

I might want to consider to reach Level 239 before the end of the Black update, because of that Level Up potion for 200~239... One additional level in less than a month shouldn't be that difficult, right?

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