Fun Stuff Happenin' in TOI
Well, it was a horribly cold, rainy day here...perfect weather for staying indoors and playing Lineage. Started out this morning with a hunt to TOI 4f with pledgie Aelavel. We did quite well for quite a while, but then we hit one of those infamous TOI spawns. Very quickly we were swarmed by the mops you see here, as well as about another 8 medusas and 6 spiders which were just off-screen below us.
No big drops, just a few 11f scrolls, but a good time and decent experience.
Then later on, we had a big pledge hunt to lastabad caves. Here's us stopping for a little "photo op" on lasty 3f before heading into the Diad area.
Once inside, we hunted in the outer diad fortress area for quite a while, then headed into the oum tunnel where the spawns can be quite large.
As is typical for diad, exp was okay but no real drops of significance.
Then tonight, the big activity was a group hunt to 70f to camp Iris. We ran into some really large spawns on 68f in particular, but thanks to Sir HB being bait and excellent coordination by the Kismet team, even having 25+ mops on the screen at once was no cause for panic, and they were all systematically dispatched without anyone dying the entire hunt.
After working our way through the spawns on the lower floors, we finally reached out goal: 70f. As we had been going, the color coding on the floors had been progressing from yellow to red. But when I got to 70f, I saw the name wasn't red...it was BEYOND red.
In order to commemorate the occasion, we took a group photo during a lull in the spawns.
The hunt was disappointing in that we never saw Iris, despite being up on 70f for over two hours. We did manage to pull a few good drops, however, so it wasn't a complete loss.
After that was over, it was around midnight and I was seriously considering logging for the night; however, something inside told me to just pick a sorta easy place and maybe put in an hour or so of leveling, since I had been doing group hunts all day and, as fun as those are, the experience tends to be much lower than when solo hunting. So I thought about where to go, was gonna just do fv or dv but when I saw there were 1000+ on the server I figured those places might be crowded. So I eventually settled on TOI 42f. Stocked myself, headed up there (thanks to CursedMage for Advanced Spirit-ing me when I got there!), and about 15 minutes into the hunt I see this.
So I am thinking, awesome, not only some experience but a bzel to boot! Then about a half hour after that, I look down and see
Talk about a great night; spent maybe an hour up there, ended up with two bzels.
If only it were always that easy!
So, those were my adventures for the day. Will leave you with my exp update, have a great day all!

Oh man, you update this a lot, Sir Finarfin. Very lengthy and fulfilling posts. It must be a lot of work... I don't think I would have the effort to write so many Pensuke-style posts.
I love your hunts; it brings back the Lineage vigor in me, but eh, I'm done with that. I can envision this blog becoming popular very quickly. The day you reach level 50 will be a very celebrated one.
Until later,
