I reached 250M exp totals first time with my primary character:

Total of 250614910 experience spent on character.

The exp graph shows my progress, which has been relatively modest since I have concentrated also on the secondary character.

Due to lack of playing, from my monk combo skills only Wave crest strike is at maximum (110%) so far.

Impulse weapon shopping

Shenderic was selling manta ray mace:

Shenderic (sales): fresh mace of the manta ray mb 600k

Since it was relatively cheap (usually around 1M..2M in brokers) and I had enough cash in bank, I decided to buy it:

Thelo [sales]: 600k
Shenderic (sales): x1 x2 x3
Shenderic (sales): and sold
...
Shenderic gives you Mace of the Manta Ray <red glow>.

Now I have a bludgeon, but no idea what to do with it.

In theory, a barbranger (without any reputation) could be one (doomed to fail?) experiment, but on the other hand I got The Shield of the Wind from earlier Raztax party, so I have weapons for a templar reinc.

Random happenings related to money

Here some happenings related to money from the last few months:

First, I was selling smoke+ points for 480k gold to U, but he gave me 10x more money (9600 mithrils instead of 960 mithrils):

U gives you 9600 mithril coins.

Took me a while to notice it:

You tell U 'Hmm, nyt taisi tulla nolla liikaa rahoihin.'
U tells you 'joo, huomasin :-P'
You tell U 'Hetki pieni, kaivan takaisin ja tuon'
...
You give 8640 mithril coins to U.

I guess some people carry too much money around :).

In another occasion, I was chatting with B about the tree navigators and he donated 250k gold to me:

Bank transfer from B of 250000.00 gold

Thanks! I bought some new links with the gold.

Tohelo

As seen from the exp graph, I have made exp also with my secondary character. The level 30 riftwalker reinc is working surprisingly well. Although, it is (still) rather funny to be at level 30 with over 50M totals.

The low level allows me to get into level limited areas like Newbie Mines, where I got my first ever enchant armour scrolls.

My regular areas have become Dortlewall crystite mines, Coffee forest, Bunny valley, and Butterfly farm. Especially Coffee forest is my favorite as I can kill the imps and bushes quite easily and they give me 10k (imp) or 20k (bush) exp per kill with the exp pool.
