Constellation Great Dipper: Vermillion Bird Quest (Heaven Sound)

30 04 2009

This is what I was talking about, the Vermillion Bird Quest, the quest in where we hunt down 7 boss, and it’s repeatable within 8:30-10:30PM (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). So that means, after you finish killing 1 set of boss (7 boss), you can repeat it again for more exp.

Well the quest is quiet hard, the boss has very big HP pool and it takes time to take them down.

Each time you kill a boss, you acquire a certain item that will prove that you killed the boss, so you really have to free at least 7 slots in your backpack. You also need to find a good team, because taking it alone is really not recommended. I was just lucky to find good group/team members that knows what they are doing.

Anyway, here are the boss spawn spots, according to my experience.

after finishing this quest, you will have to pass it to Constellation Challenge Manager NPC located at HYC (113, 62)

We were able to finish it 4 times.

Here is me, finishing the quest-

Before:

After:

nice right? I got 4 levels in an instant, hahaha.

I think, for each 7 boss, I received 440,000 exp, wow!

I also received the title <Rose Finch Lucky Star>.

This really helped me a lot, and I know there are other Constellation Great Dipper quests at other maps that I have yet to discover. watch out~ ;)

ZX Online: Heaven Sound

30 04 2009

So, I’ve just turned level 30.

Level 30 enables my character to move to the next map, Heaven Sound, well here is where everything really begins.

Being level 30, enables you to PK, yes it’s an open PK game, you can kill or hit other characters as long as they are above level 30. I also get to wear my level 30 gears, they still don’t look that nice for me so I’m still naked. haha..

I was having trouble with my backpack cause it only got 24 slots, it always gets full. So I have to buy Heaven Silk from the Universal Treasury (item mall) which costs 65 ingots equivalent to 65 pesos to add 12 slots to my backpack, and it’s now 36 slots. wow, i’m starting to spend real money now, hahaha

This is also where I first experienced the Constellation Great Dipper Quest it is a special activity every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday where you will hunt chains of boss, we have to kill 7 boss consecutively. This is rather exciting especially when there are other groups/teams doing the same quest.

Other special activities include the Fishing Contest which is held daily, but only for characters with levels above 45, too bad, I still haven’t tried this, I can get baits though, which is used to fish at fishing rods around Heyang City (the first map, main map), they are distributed daily starting at 12am, next is 8am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, and back to 12am. hahaha.. They are a good source of gold and also some hooked items which you can sell to other players at a decent prize.

ZX Online first impressions

30 04 2009

Been playing ZX Online for almost 3 days now. And it really looks similar to Perfect World, well of course it also has new features, but one thing I didn’t like is that the characters wasn’t really customizable, you can only go around like 7 hairstyles and 7 face variations.

Moving on, the story  (I don’t pay attention to what NPC says, I just click randomly, lol) revolves around you, an adventurer, you’re supposed to be the Chosen One, and you will go out do raids and skirmishes to guard and protect people. This is the path to true enlightenment, to become immortal, as your journey continues, you will become stronger, you will be granted supernatural human strength and wield elemental powers of heaven and earth, that’s what leveling is all about. hahaha

Well let’s get back to the game, at first you are a Young Paladin (sorry I can’t provide screenshots until lvl 30+), do quests, it’s really a friendly game, with an autopath feature, you just have to click the monster or NPC at the Quests tab, then it will automatically find its way there avoiding obstacles (but it’s not flawless though, sometimes you hit large objects, you get stucked)

About the graphics, they really rock, you experience realistic water effects and sun flares, GOD, nice sun flares, realistic views. Awesome, really awesome, high class graphics!

Well okay, back to the gameplay, there’s nothing much to do from lvl 1 to 14, just at lvl 15, you will be joining a school, in other words, you’ll be switching to another class! Your task is to kill a single Pneuma Beast, which is summoned by the Cultivation Emissary, I easily found him with the use of autopath.

Next the main NPC will let you choose a school, I choosed Bonding Bliss school cause judging from videos I saw, they really pwn at PVP, well I really love PVP, so I thought this school would fit me best.

The quest for changing class wasn’t really something, you just have to kill a single monster which isn’t even that hard to kill.

I finished the quest and submitted it, I automatically turned into a Bonding Bliss class and received a free weapon and talisman. Talisman’s are supposed to be your character’s source of power, hahaha, but they are not that grand, they just give little bonus stats, and a single bonus skill, but well yeah, it’s really nice to see something flying around you.

Being level 15 also enabled me to wear my first set of gears, for lvl 15, they did not really look nice, so I have to turn off showing equips, haha, being naked looks better.

My next journey is to Azure Cloud, there wasn’t really much to do, just do some errands, walk here, walk there, arrrghh I hate long walks, ok let’s move forward—- I’m level 30! hahaha!





Introduction: A Period before the War of the Three Kingdoms

30 04 2009

In the vast  unspoiled landscape of East China,  humanity has seen the incredible wonders of their world. They have stood witness to the destructive power of nature which can conjure typhoons, storms, earthquakes and floods.  Humanity has suffered at the hand of its own man-made catastrophes – war, famine and disease. Death was everywhere and it spared no one.
It is said that these catastrophes could have been avoided  with the help of the Nine Gods. Their absence has also  led many poor tortured souls to the very doors of  the Underworld Palace, Yama.

But the elders who still remember the old ways encouraged humanity to worship the Nine Gods.  Men listened and everyone bowed down each to God that could prevent the cataclysms.  They prayed and gave offerings.

But men also yearned to be free of Death’s embrace.

They knew that their bodies were weak and frail compared to the unfaltering truth that the  spirit which can endure more.

It is believed that evil people die and live again to suffer more. Others who die a wicked death go to Yama to suffer.

Men loved life.  Thus he fervently sought immortality.

It is uncertain but many believed that there were steps in order to attain immortality.  One must learn and increase one’s intelligence and good virtue. Men must also invest a lifetime of energy and diligently deal with hardship. They must also understand the myriad of human emotions. One must also be aware and understand the good and ill fortunes.

These all lead to the path of true enlightenment which need to be  passed down to descendants and  the coming generations.

Once a warrior becomes an immortal, it will bring him or her supernatural human strength and wield the elemental powers of Heaven and Earth. Those who have mastered these powers are perceived to have become The Legendary Immortals.

But the Journey to Immortality is difficult and those who stray from the path often get corrupted by the Underworld.

For every age, the quest for immortality brings forth heroes. While the mystery of immortality remains unrevealed, the path is always open.

In the pristine  lands of China,  there are three lush  regions – the majestic mountains, boundless water region  and the verdant jungles. These regions are inhabited by all sorts of creatures, both benign and lethal.

The region of the un-civilized Yi people which was captured by Mao Yinxue, is left unexplored as well as the remote and dense valleys of Tibet which no one has seen for ten thousand years.

The vast lands hold treasures that may yield the secrets and clues to immortality. Men and women have journeyed through these uncharted territories, testing their resolve and revealed their true character. They have carved their destinies and legends on the  very stones and earth of China.

But ever the pursuit of immortality beckoned to humanity. Gradually,  groups formed their own schools based on their beliefs and principles.  Through these Schools, humanity  prospered and avoided the evils. But their thirst to find the secret of immortality drove them to greater heights.

And here is where we begin the story — The  Blue Cloud Gate.

One night in the small quite village of Qingyunshan, a great earthquake erupted and brought down terrible devastation about the inhabitants. Only two managed to survive: Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu. They were able to escape the horrible catastrophe by climbing the mountains and headed to the Blue Cloud Gate.

There was a reason why these two survived.

Lin Jingyu had a  natural talent in martial arts and was highly intelligent. Zhang Xiaofan on the other hand, didn’t display the same skills as Jingyu.   In the time that passed,  Jingyu became highly regarded in Blue Cloud Gate and the surrounding areas.  Zhang secretly fell in love with a female martial artist but did not return his affections and regarded him as a younger brother. In time,  Zhang’s true power was revealed  during a martial arts competition. He displayed skills and techniques taken from two different warring schools. This led to everyone suspecting Zhang’s true character. But eventually he was defeated by a young female student Lu Xue Qi  who secretly admired Zhang for his stubborn and rebellious persona… But the story is not yet finished…

My name is Jay, also known as Raine. I’ve been into online multiplayer games since 2000. Now, I then decided to put up a blog to record my gaming escapades and/or frustrations and/or reflections.

Right now, I will most like write only about Zhuxian Online and DotA (Defense of the Ancients).

I might possibly write about other games, but those are the games for now.

I’m also selling real estate and other properties, so I’ll most likely post about them too.
