Round 1 will be closing on 08/24/14 at 11:59 P.M. server time.  If you're interested in participating, please register before then.

 

So, I know there are a lot of people out there who are frustrated or bored with the game, who perhaps have everything that they have ever needed and do nothing but sit around and afk all day just because.  Well, here's a challenge for you!  I'll be participating as well, just because I think it'll be fun.

 

This'll be an honor system kind of thing, since it's not like I can really check what you're doing, so for the fun of it all, please try to follow the rules.

 

The Ten Commandments:

  1. Thou shalt create a new character (either your favorite class, or just one you haven't played or whatever)
  2. Thou shalt not use anything (zeny, armor, weapons, items, etc) from any other characters or accounts that thou ownest. (Treat this character like you're starting on a brand new server)
  3. Thou shalt not use VIP buffs, though having VIP itself is not against the rules. (If you want the buffs, you must cook your own food)
  4. Thou shalt not use alts in order to speed up thy leveling. (i.e. heal slaving, alt vending, buff slaving, forging weapons for yourself, etc)
  5. Thou shouldest not ask friends or guildmates for assistance (make it fun and find new people to level with)
  6. Thou shalt seek out others who are playing "The Great Leveling Game" and work together to level, earn zeny and stuff like that.
  7. Thou shouldest not use Eden Gears.
  8. Thou shouldest not use Battle Manuals.
  9. Thou shalt not use the Kafra Shop or anything like unto it (No Safe Certs, Enriched or HD ores).
  10. Thou shalt not use Gramps, signboards, or billboards or thou shalt surely be kicked from the competition!

If you're going to participate, you are highly encouraged to post your [character's name] and which server you're playing on (since it's not limited to just renewal).  It would be even better if you post a picture of the character you've created.

 

First player to find (not buy) an emperium, gets to make a guild named Great Leveling Game, or just The GLG if the first is too short.  Other participants are highly encouraged to join the guild.

 

1st three participants to reach base level 99 will get a special that I'll come up with at some point.  For now it'll be a secret. Creativity is highly encouraged.  Your build will be somewhat scrutinized at the completion of the 1st round of the competition.  Some points may be deducted for using very "cookie cutter" super easy leveling builds.

 

NOTE: Once you've reached base level 99, please do not rebirth or go to 3rd job yet. Once the majority of participants have reached level 99, the next phase of The Great Leveling Game will take place.

 

So, I will go ahead and start!  I will be waiting in Izlude for other players!  My character name is [Tea Brewery] and I am participating on the Chaos Renewal Server.

If you're going to be doing Gramps or whatever to get badges, please try not to do it until after you've hit 99/50.  I don't want this to turn into a competition to see who can spam TI the fastest.  :(

Well, you can still jump right in.  The point is to have fun really.  It's not really meant to be a race per se.  I've already started, and it practically feels like a brand new game when I'm not constantly just borrowing OP stuff from my other accounts.  xD

I ended up starting since people were taking forever.  That probably is a bot.  Feel free to start though.  I'm only just now level 19.  xD

Ugh i hate Seryu

 

She's only serving a wrong empire but her story is same with the Elric brothers in fullmetal alchemist.

the only different is that :

 

Seryu Ubiquitos: doing her job right by helping the weak and implementing absolute justice by fight fire with fire (even though she's nuts)

Elric brothers with: selfish dynamic duo, using innocent lives to create philosopher stone & joining Coup d' etat with Mustang.

 

 

But still Sad the majority of the viewer hate her....

I see this image 3 days ago in some anime forums :p_sad:

Actually I am nothing but a newbie, but honestly this one looks the most interesting for now (could we RP as well for this Great Leveling Game?)

 

Also I made this new account, just to make sure I avoid the temptations of many things. However is the Academy usable? I am starting now and will assume no academy too for now. 

 

Name: Shion Salazar [Renewal], want to be assassin.

-edit: wait, I see academy hat, and it is not forbidden, so I will use academy to. Cant wait to 'accidentally' meet one another in the game XD

I will join in as well.

 

Meet Slania, the (more or less) soon to be Rogue. She's the first character on her shiny new account - I'm tempted so easily...

Like I said in the original post (or I think I said).  There's not really a way for me to check.  It's really an honor system.  Just have some integrity.  You'll know if you used Eden group, and I'd really hope that no one will.

 

And yes, the academy is fine to use since it's not giving you anything that you wouldn't have normally gotten in the original game anyway when we used to have to go through the Training Grounds.

 

Glad to have some participants!  :D

Alright, time to rest for now

 

screen_Chaos001.jpg

 

So several nice things that happened:

Met Vocal, met a nice priest(or AB) and a nice monk (or shura), died several times, farm strawberries and death by AncientMummy head on, and death by Kobold Sniper lurking behind the trees, met Bathory, met some new friends to rumble party in the strawberry farm full of mindless people, got attached to little poring, spend time to find apples and bottles, met a nice-but-cool thief, met badass merchant, bought stiletto by zeny from strawberry farm, and now investigating the mindless people at payon in the dungeon.

 

As we do not need to compete at all, we can explore the game by enjoying the small things (like greeding everything).

 

Time to write a fanfic I guess.

Orc Memorial Dungeon Highlights
As for the last part:
- There is a HUGE mob to deal with,
- Depraved Orc Hero,
- Shaman Cargalache,
- They spawn just beside each other (refer to the wiki's map),
- Mobs will re-spawn until the shaman is defeated

What we did:
- Run the first parts with 2 Knights, 1 Alch, 1 Bard, and 1 Wiz
- At the last zone we went with 1 Knight, 1 Crus, 1 Alch, 1 Bard, and 1 Wiz
- Self-potting and Alch's Geo kept us survived
- Mobs are just a copy of the original ones, they're not strong, they won by numbers
- The ones that hit hardest are archers, since they have enough range to not letting us fight back

From my analysis, we need:
- Pneuma
- As stated in the wiki, we shouldn't kill too much of the goons
