During Midsummer, I collected almost 10M exp, reaching 470M exp totals few days after Midsummer.

My monk combo skills haven’t progressed as fast as I would have hoped. Avalanche slam is only at 97%. On the other hand, I have found plenty of fulgurite sites and managed to collect 16 beads in total.

Eq shopping

I sold the beads for 2.45M gold and had total of 9M cash momentarily. Feeling rich, I ended up buying a circular mask of strange geometry (+int +spr) for 3M gold. Now I have both, the mask and the necklace (with strange geometry), which I can use in my next channeller reinc.

I also bought Aeo pendant to replace Pendant of Apathy to give a small bonus in +spr. Next in the upgrade list is better spr equipment for the leg slots.

Scarlet Lotus skills

I am about halfway in cultivating the Focused Vitality sect skill. Other skill percentages are shown below:

| Sensei Shozai thinks the wisdom of the sect of Scarlet Lotus may help you  |
| reach your full potential. Shozai has estimated the progress you have      |
| made with the Warrior Brotherhood and he thinks that your combat skills    |
| are exemplary. Shozai is very happy that you truly master martial arts     |
| and there isn't much for you to learn within the Warrior Brotherhood.      |
| Shozai thinks you should cultivate focused vitality and learn what these   |
| new skills will allow you to do. After that, you should come back to him   |
| to learn more.                                                             |
