Just......... ugh.
Vangelis on King's........... his health regen is ridiculous. I blew so many potions trying to take him down, but the fight took so long that my fully repaired weapon has 1 point of durability left and he had 4 bars left. Looks like I need to upgrade to something better. A Fairy Scythe just isn't cutting it. This really bums me out, that I met my first boss that I just can't beat. Damn you Vangelis on Kings. Damn you. Again, he's not hard per se, but the fact he lasted long enough that my weapon broke made him evil/unbeatable.
*Now that I think about it though, I DID use a Battle Axe that I bought in the market (I had it with me for PvP purposes) instead of a Scythe for Masters Vangelis. I had a 33% increase in my base attack (from 612 to ~800), which really made my special attacks hurt a lot. Guess Vangelis has a chance of being beatable on King's, but I will try again tomorrow.

First Spine taught me to always carry a backup weapon -- doesn't matter what it is just have something for damage.

I always fully repair at the end of each run 99% of the time (yes there's been that 1% where I suddenly head into a dungeon and find out in the middle of it that my weapon is about to break) so I never really needed a backup weapon. Also, that Battle Axe is really heavy, taking up a lot of space weight. Adding in my heavy armor, I can only carry ~16 kg of equipment per run with the axe. I don't have a +weight torso avatar yet, and I really need those equipment drops for the cubes.

No. I don't need other people to make something fun. DFO is great alone. It just sucks that not everything can be soloed. Partying with a friend is fun, too, though. I've only partied with people I didn't know once (to help with Lotus Spawn), and I didn't really enjoy it.

Speaking of, if you need a helping hand with anything once I'm 45, give me a holler.

I've partied a few times already, but I feel as if it gets boring. Being a Mage (soon-to-be Summoner) I feel as if I'm near worthless in a party compared to some of the stronger classes.

Partying gives me less exp per fatigue point. I haven't used over 3 tokens in one day in quite a while now that I buy pots from others.

You can ask me too, I'm level 44, probably 45 by the end of the day. I wish I could get to 46 so I can equip michelles oath, that chair looks freaking AWESOME!

I don't really care if it gives less fatigue I personally think its boring to do stuff alone and its more fun to have other people be that and be socail

Need feedback on the corniness of these names that I reserved for future classes:
1 Gunner: MoreDakka (Launcher)
2 Priests: TheKenshiro and CombatMedic (Monk + Crusader; someone already ninja-ed Kenshiro)
2 Slayers: BFGreatSword and PlateCaster (Berserker + Asura; BFSword, MagicKnight and MagicWarrior were taken)
1 Fighter: TwinsofSteel (either Grappler or Striker, can't use "Boob" in a name as in BoobsofSteel)
1 Mage: SquishyLoli (most likely Elementalist; GlassCannon has "ass" in it)
I don't entirely care on serious names since my Exorcist will remain as my main, so I went for tropy names.

Is that a challenge I hear?
Well, I only needed to token when the Kenshiro NPC wouldn't leave me alone no matter where I went. Pathing issues, my rear end. He died for making me token, and of course Vangelis soon followed.

No shame in using a Token, man. We gotta do whatever it takes to pull off the tricky solos.
Congrats on the big 40.

Where do you get Bel Myre Ambassador's Tatters from? Is it a rare boss drop or what?
