Yangus's Monster Spawn!!

(First off, I'll apologize in advance for the heavy load time on this page, but it can't be helped!)

So it was Friday at about 3:30PM and I happened upon the phrase, "Monster Spawn at old arena in 5 minutes!". I was a bit curious what was meant. I'd seen the GM's do it once or twice, but I hadn't actually participated in one before, especially one funded by a player! (I also wasn't aware that the structure right outside Saint City was the old arena, either! But I found it by luck, stumbling outside the stone walls of Sain City).

 I headed over expecting to see someone unleashing a few giants and normal mobs, but I had to wait a little bit before I saw anything.

Before I show you the pictures that I took of the event, let me explain how these Ball of Crown and Giant Monster Ball items work. Firstly, you are not allowed to spawn these things in the towns, they have to be a ways off, which made the old arena the perfect location. Secondly, when spawned, they are only attackable by the summoner's party, until he/she logs off.

Anyway, a guy named Yangus (see title :P) stood onto the platform and spawn a few monsters back to back. A few leyenas and drillers run about, nothing big. I was kind of hoping for some stronger monsters to make it a little interesting,

Nothing too big, but it was pretty cool. Yangus ran towards the center and said, "Ok, good to go". Then all I could do was take screen shots of what was in front of me.

After fighting for what seemed to be 15-20 minutes, we had cut down all the monsters that were spawned. The pictures don't do it justice. About one-third of the monsters are hard to see, simply because  they're piling all over each other to kill the guy in the center. Not to mention I couldn't even take a screenshot that would fit all the giants on the screen. I'd say he spawned at least 50 giants and another 300 normal mobs.

When we were done, Yangus told the younger crowd some stories about the features of the old FlyFF. It was interesting to hear how the game has changed over the years.

and then, before we parted, a final screenshot to commemorate the event.

It was completely awesome. Thanks for the fun event! Such an event is extremely hard to pull off, but Yangus pulled it off well.

Personally, I'd like to think about a catchier name than what I have in the title already, any suggestions?

Happy FlyFFing!

White Day event and the Buur Event Monster Spawn!

White Day event:
Why'd he accept them?!


     It seems like the Love and Hate spirits are back in Flaris again! Except the Hate Spirit is.. well.. a softie.

He's hammering without an anvil. That has to be hard.
He wants you to help out the angel who's given him chocolates. How? Try picking up lots of trash. Err, materials to make ribbons with. You'll need 100 of each of the four materials and you'll receive something in return.(You can also get different colored corsages by trading 500 of a particular item into the guy standing next to her. They are tradeable, but they do not have an effect.)

I think it's an interesting event, although I'll probably just be selling the event items I pick up. I'm pretty drained from the penya sink events.

(Edit: I totally lied about just selling the items. I ended up exchanging the items for a box containing:
  • 5 event sProtects
  • 5 event aProtects
  • 1 event sunstone
  • 1 event moonstone
If you choose to do the quest as a female, instead of the above event box, you'll receive an event black ribbon that goes into the CS hat slot. It looks like
this:

It gives you 5% run speed!








(Note: You can only do either event one time per character.)

Buur Event Monster Spawn: 


I got it to hold still for a bit,
and then I came up behind it..
     This is probably the third new masquerpet we've had recently, and I definitely prefer the Buur over the Mocomochi. Many of the drops I got while trying to make a quick event table were nice (I could use them or at least sell them easily), and also like the other two masquerpets, the Buur looks well done.



Before I go farm some more goods, here's the table so far:











The link to the latest post dealing with the Buur is here, as well as here is the drop info I've collected:


Happy FlyFFing!

A quick update

There's a lot of stuff going on right now! First off, FlyFF's official blog is hosting quite a few nice events, which you can see here! We also not only the gambling events going, but two more on top of that!

Go For Broke! : Lawolf is looking a bit more balanced with this event running. I've noticed the Spros/Gpros dropping by 3-4M, which is still a ways from where it needs to be, but it's nice start. There's also tons and tons of sunstones and moonstones in the shops. I was actually shocked when I saw this, because a few weeks ago there was none anywhere.

I decided to play a bit more since the Snow Crystals have been selling for about 30-50K each lately. Check it out!


So close to the wings!
But I had to stop there. I wouldn't have been too happy if I lost at that point. The prizes before it were just event sunstones(x2, x5, x12) and super star candies (x2, x6 I think), and I didn't really want either of those.




I tried playing Rock-Paper-Scissors a bit later, but I've probably lost 4/5 times since then, haha.

The dice game is still going too. Does anyone play this? I still do occasionally, but I find the RPS much more fun. :)


Premium Box Drop:  These boxes are nice; simply because I can use most the stuff inside. They don't sell for much though, 2-3M on Lawolf.


Mocomochi Spawn: I love Mocomochi's. Not the sound they make when shopkeepers leave them out, mind you. That squeal gets on my nerves, and it's so frequent!
Try squealing now! :P


That's it for now, so,
Happy FlyFFing!

(I've noticed there's been the same penya spammers for about a week now, So I took some screenshots and reported them. I encourage you to do the same if you see them sitting there for more than a few days!)

(Also: I do plan on changing the blog theme to something more spring-like on the 22nd, so it isn't going to stay winter forever. :) )
