I buff up and head out to the Frozen Lab, but the exp just doesn’t seem that good and drops are a little poor.  I do notice I throw a double shadow here though, as do the mobs.

I head to Aden and Fields of Massacre, only the mob nukes are quite painful with my half D half C grade jewelry and I end up dying.

Back in town at the buffer I run into this clan member, with the sweet Imperial Crusader armor.  I think this is my favorite S grade set. The shield is easily the best looking in the game.

I head back to my same spot but the mobs are giving me too much trouble so I back up down the road a bit, then a bit more, until I settle into the Cemetery.

Here I work up to around 50%, head back to town to restock, then pick up a quest for this area from a guard at the south gate of Aden and go back.

I make around another 10%.  My kama friends are not around, and I’m getting bored of grinding.  I talk to Furrious a bit then log out.

Logged in and headed to Outlaw Forest again.  During this time I see something kind of shiny and white in the distance, though when I hover over it, it is not money or items.

Not thinking much of it, since maybe it’s a rock, I continue exping and gathering more warehouse keeper medals.  About 40% later, the rock that is not a rock gets the best of my curiosity and I approach to find a dead dwarf.

Well, hello there!  They stay quite dead for a while. That’s ok, I get to 55% and 30 medals, then head back to town.  I turn in my seal stones…

then play bingo with that jerk WH keeper and lose 3x in a row.  I put my mats in my WH and log out for maintenance.

Later I head back out to my usual area, still with about an hour of the vit buff left and start exping.  I pick up another 52 Lifestone and a +3 MEN -3 INT dye.  Shortly into this session a dwarf starting attacking me for no particular reason while Kai is busy with a mob.

I was not prepared in any way for pvp but fight back anyway, and die.  Of course, broadcasting ones daily activities on a website, one can come to expect this sort of thing.  I lose my vit buff, rebuff and go back to the area but this person is gone and I do not see them again. From the damage log they were likely much more prepared than me to win anyway.  I hit 55!

It seems there is some kind of Witch Doctor convention going on today!  I head back to town, restock, I win a Mold Hardener from Cliff and lose once.  Before I log I see someone in Giran enchants a Dynasty Dual Sword to +7 and giggle when the person (Honu) comments that ‘lord hates a coward’ and other people quote back ‘devil loves a fool’. I take a break for the day.

This morning I log in to presents from Danhadouha! It is of course, my favorite armor set both for the design and the stats, and because I wore it for like 25 levels back in the day on Kain. Anyway!  This is REALLY AWESOME as I understand some BW parts are really hard to get, which is a shame!

I sent the C grade armor and my thanks, back to him and go back to Outlaw Forest.  I get a level 52 life stone drop. Today my hills are busy with 2 other players so I move slightly and start picking up quest items for Warehouse Keeper’s Pastime, which I forgot I picked up in Oren a while back. I also get a mid grade 55 LS. at 70% I decide to take a break and head back to Oren and talk to the WH keeper. I only received 15 metals in my time out so I pick my numbers and win nothing! Yay! I log out for now.

Back in later I hit 54 then make another 10% trying to get 20 medals for that quest. I had picked up the Vit buff too. Kai is almost up so I go back to town, learn skills, I get nothing the first turn in, and an Enchant weapon C the next! Not bad! I don’t dare try to OE my weapon though anyway it’s already +4 and it’s not mine to begin with. I break for the day.

Between Outlaw Forest and Apostate I hit level 53, grouping with Adan again in a duo.  I did not see binding cubic, which is now level 4, land not once on the Outlaw Forest.

Logged into Oren and caught CollieBudz again arranging a 53 kama.  I die once, go to Outlaw Forest and reding 52, we try it again, I die, then end up succeeding with me as a warlock healer, Collie, matrac, and Ange2dust and ding 52 for like the 3rd time.  It drops the stupid great pata blades, EAB and that’s it, so 2 of the party including myself get no drops. Oh you crazy loot system you!  I take a break already, it’s been a long day in general.
