make me fall, can you?

Heck, I'm truly lost in my thoughts when I met this guy in the LUF. [P]
It seems, I'm falling for him @___@ which is so not a good idea.
But somehow in his text and words, I've found hope of falling in love again.
Maybe with him? I don't know. But I sure am keeping my promise of meeting him someday... :(

By the way, T asked for my hand in Ragnarok Online on the night of December 1st. It really surprised me... Because I just met him recently and our date this monday was just something out of the blue-- from the Pacman- Margarito bout. @__@ I wasn't expecting it to be like this.

Well, of course I kinda like him, but I gotta sort things out first with myself knowing that I am fresh from break up and that its supposed to be my 1st anniversary with C. :( Idk, it really saddens me whenever I remember my previous relationship. He prioritized himself over me. @__@ Which is so not cool. :(

Anyways, that's all for now.. I am just hanging on to this promise P has given me. :(

"Someday, when you are finally allowed to travel, visit my city and I'll bring you up on the mountains and we'll watch the stars from there."

pRO: Sakura Blossom event

Event Duration: October 27- November 17, 2010
Final Product: Perisca [1]

Make sure you have the following items so you can continue with the quest without any delay:

Big Fan of Magic:
- blue gemstone x1
- wind stone (bought at the secret room where the ninja job change takes place in Amatsu - see no.3 instruction in the job change quest) x1
- fan of cat monster/ folding fan of cat ghost (Civil Servant/ Mao Guai drop at Louyang Dungeon) x1

Huge Spray of Flowers:
-spray of flowers x25
-thin stem x5 (Parasite drop at umbala field 03)

Process:
1. Go to Payon with your ingredients for Big Fan of Magic. Talk to Capt. Feles (cat NPC) at Pay_arche.gat 65.142 near Payon cave. Give him blue gemstone x1, wind stone, and fan of cat monster x1 to make the Big Fan of Magic.


2. Once done with the Big Fan of Magic, you may sit and wait for the cherry blossom tree beside Capt. Feles to glow (make sure your effects are turned on so you'll see it glowing) and when it does it will drop spray of flowers along the area. Be as nimble as you can before they disappear. There are also cherry blossom trees around Prontera (near the fountain and the stat reset NPC) and they give more branches than the ones in Payon.
note: it sometimes takes 10-20 mins. before the trees glow again @_@


3. Once you have collected 25 pieces of spray of flowers, talk to him again and tell him that you want to bind them, and he will give you Huge Spray of flowers for every 5 pcs. of spray of flowers + 1 pc. of thin stem. You'll need 5 Huge Spray of Flowers in order for you to create a Perisca. Don't worry about the gift wrapper, the Girl with a sigh NPC in Lutie will be the one giving you that.

4. Go to Lutie if you have 5 pcs. of spray of flowers. Talk to Girl with a sigh at xmas 172 133 and she will ask you what spring is like. Show her the huge spray of flowers x5 and she will give you gift wrapper. Talk to her again so she can create your Perisca. And there you have it! /no1


Warp Shortcuts:
-Louyang Dungeon: premium service (lol that's the fastest way ever-- believe me)
-Umbala Field: Morroc > Comodo > Umbala > down > down > right (or walk through the east of comodo dungeon according to chorvaqueen).

Blog Action Day: Water

Today, we talk about something out of my usual blog topics... water.

Water is everywhere right?

It covers 75% of the world and 70% of our body. It replenishes us when we are parched or when we feel hot. We use it when we cook, take a bath, brush our teeth, wash our clothes and all other things that basically involves water.

Water for me is essential.

It is part of my sport, swimming. I love water ever since I learned how to swim and yet, I myself won't even help save a drop.

You see, like all things provided to us by God is limited. If our resources are not taken well care of and continue depleting, we might as well end up waking up one day, fighting for our lives for all these resources, one of which would be water.

Every drop is essential. Drops of water you waste could maybe fill up a bucket or a basin or even a pool enough to clean out a soccer field. There will come a time, just like in the commercial, people will even opt to drink the water in the tap despite the health risks it could bring (even without boiling it).

So think about it. It's not just for me but for you guys as well. :)

pRO: New BM mode guide


Hi there! perhaps you're wondering why the /bm won't work when you type it in the chatbox. That is because
even the bm mode is upgraded during the Episode 22 patch. As announced, there is an additional line for shortcut keys now, this is because during this episode in RO there will be a lot of skills to be used in battles especially when you're in the 3rd jobs state.

Now this is the one I'm talking about... the additional line for shortcut keys. Now how to configure since /bm won't work...


Press the 'esc' button. Notice there are additional options in the game setting window. (Gravity combined all those settings you used to trigger with shortcut keys in-game so it wouldn't be so hard for the newbies).... click the Shortcut configuration.

Now this window will pop out. Notice the skill bar 1-4 are the only ones with keys designated/ configured and skill bars 2 - 4 are undesignated. This means there are no assigned keys for the skills you've placed in skill bars 2-4.

Click on Skill bar 2-1 and press any key you assign a skill in your skill bar. Do this for other skill bar slots.

When you're done, click 'Ok'. It will create a new file in your Ragnarok Folder which means you've successfully created/ configured your bm mode. Now to use them, you would have to remove the chat box by pressing enter.

It will look like this when you press enter. When your chatbox window is in this state, you can use the skills by pressing the letters of the assigned skill. :D

And there you go! Have fun trying out the 3rd jobs ;)

Special Thanks to: Kim Tiongkiao (former pRO Valkyrie player) for showing me the DreamerRO guide to this one. Its kinda different from pRO because I have to create a separate folder for bm mode whereas in pRO you don't need one. XD

Ragnarok 3rd Jobs invades the Philippine official servers



Today, October 13, Philippine Ragnarok Online will be updating all servers with the newest and most awaited patch of all, the Renewals - Dawn of the Enlightened Ones.

A lot of changes will be taking place in our beloved world and soon, things will be more exciting. Not to mention, user-friendly to those who will playing for their first time on this game and to those who are coming back. Also, the latest Episode features a new map found here and new alternate costume dyes found here (uploads courtesy of Chorvaqueen).

And then I wonder what this could mean?
The discovery could not have come at a bette
r time, for an ancient evil lurks in the shadows, dreaming of the day Rune Midgard lies in ruins. As monsters begin their savage attack of major cities in Rune Midgard, the world’s only hope lies in the scrolls and the adventurers brave enough to learn what is within them.
As far as I could remember, there were bomb porings in Prontera during the Heaven and Hell event that was held last Sept. 2, 2010, where GM Chastity bid us farewell. Those bomb porings are indestructable even if you hit them with weapons, fists, and spells; I had that hunch since only GMs can summon those things and remove them at the same time. I really have no idea what they are for but I had this "hunch" that one day, Prontera will be in ruins.

Also, I've got these juicy gossip from Chorvaqueen that there will be new mvp boss cards coming to the pRO servers. These are the following:

Don't forget! There's a new event happening right after the Ep. 22 patch, the Amazing Race to 150/50. First 3rd job to reach the level cap wins a +15 weapon + a Beezlebub card! So what are you waiting for? Download the patch now available at Renewals - Dawn of the Enlightened Ones site!

Goodbye valhalla hello DreamerRO

Its been a while since I've blogged something here.

Its eating me. This quitting thing.

I've been planning this for weeks already and I just needed a sign. And it came yesterday. Kim invited me to DreamerRO. Start anew there along with my college barkada (friends). We all are players of pRO before, only now it doesn't work with us-- the "spending" part.

You see I'm enrolled at one of the prestigious art schools in the country... scholar to be precise. But with what I'm facing now, its a big ordeal. Its been months since this problem is bugging me. We're in the brink of losing our financial status. My family is trying their best to keep me here til I graduate. We wouldn't want to lose everything I've worked hard with when I was small.

So many ordeals, all happened during my junior years in high school and college days. This was the serious one.

My former guildmates didn't understand it when I've said "There's no more reason for me to stay here".

I'd take this chance to explain myself. Lucky if one of them finds this and uses this to understand me.

Actually there is still a 'reason' only I don't wanna take it up. Friends. My friends are the main reason why I played pRO. But now, what? I'm on a new guild, still on the alliance but not on theirs anymore. Reason? Issues broke us up. Separated me from them. Me trying to clear out my friend's name. I sided with him. Ended up getting ganged up on. Then started a new life in a new guild.

We managed to patch things up, but things weren't the same anymore for us. I was still friends with 'some' of them, but not all anymore. I've become a stranger. I cannot trust all of them anymore, especially that one who endangered my life when he invited me to this shoot thing. I've trusted him. But maybe because of that issue of me against him and an old friend triggered this, his revenge on me, leaving me out on the open, with holduppers and snatchers around me. Him nowhere to be on sight.

I can still sit and hang in their usual hangout in Prontera, but once they're all there, I'm ignored. Useless really. I feel like I'm just a ghost. Old member to them. Nothing important in particular. Because I'm weak. Poor. A weak sniper.

In my new guild I can do stuff but when it comes to hanging out, I'm left out either. They can do what ever they want. Coz they're 99 and rich. I don't. I don't have the luxury to continue leveling my character to 99. I'm always left out during mod exps and Endless Tower raids. They hang out but usually AFK. And I'm all alone. Lucky if there are visitors, but most of the time none. I've got nothing to do at all anymore. I'm bound with this spending thing to do what I like doing when I'm all alone. Adventure. Exploring the world I love. But because of school and my course, I couldn't spend now for pRO. I couldn't even access the Kafra storage system anymore coz I've spent almost everything just to get to lvl 95. I can't forever depend on my guildmates.

They themselves said it. "You guys are always dependent on us. Why can't you spend and level up on your own". That's true. But I never did depend on them ALWAYS. I did only once, when I was in 2nd job. Few points away from getting a blue aura. But not always. I do level on my own. I have no problem with that. So I'm not taking any bets of having people help me.

Everything's pointless TO ME. And nobody understood that. So I've taken the offer.

I feel bad for Nire. I've loved my character a lot. My guild and server as well. But in this case, I finally say goodbye to her and to this guy who has been my inspiration ever since I started a new life in his guild.

I feel bad, like I've betrayed everyone, but I've decided already. I owe the people in my previous guild. RB. For the fun memories, that will always be remembered. EBs I can't go on anymore. Boss Hunts. For leveling up my character til 99. But that is all

In my case, I exchange Nire for 1B, Sleipnir and a set of boss cards. Traitor? Feel free to say so. Accuse me. But this will be my final decision.
