I can... finally relax.

CORNY SMEGAS. DON'T CARE I WAS TOO SLEEPY TO DIFFERENTIATE THE LEGENDARY TITLE FROM THE VETERAN TITLE. GETTING THE PERMANENT MEDAL AND TITLE WAS ALL I CARE ABOUT.




Teh boring background story:

 Spoiler

I can not thank MasPan enough for his dear help ~3-4 days ago when in one night we slayed 7.5k monsters, and for my cousin for finishing up the final 2k monsters. Other than those two instances of help, I soloed the rest of the 90,500 monsters, because soloing means Time Pieces.

In the beginning, I did not take the challenge seriously (~2-3% a day); I was already handicapped badly when I grinded with gear I've been using since ~level 120ish because I didn't feel like upgrading (lacking a good 10-15+ attack) what I thought was adequate equipment. By the time the challenge was half over I realized how tough it really was. Started playing more to make up for not always gaining 3.3% a day (I was at around 36% instead of ~50%). I came too far to redo the quest, and I had no time to kill so many monsters during the school year.

You had no idea how distressed the final few days (despite uberly grinding I kept getting interrupted by real life) I was when I had to somehow gain 22% in 3 days, not including the day the quest ends (gives more breathing room). That type of grinding would have been impossible for me without seriously burning myself out and hating Maple. Then MasPan came along one night, and with his mighty -4 speed Crimson Arcglaive, we annihilated Oblivion Guardians are a speed I was not even thought existed. Long story short, the 7.5k Oblivion Guardians slayed in those ~3ish hours boosted me up to Only needing ~15k monsters in 3 days. Very doable.

Final 12 hours, my cousin came on when I decided to burn the midnight oil (up until ~4-5 AM in the morning, where supposedly I'd be done), and offered to help on my final 2.5k. Being a 173 BM, the Oblivion Guardians fell like dominoes. The pictures pretty much explains the outcome. Ended quest at ~3 AM instead.

My first medal is the hardest obtainable permanent medal, and I am happy for it. Now for sleep. :zzz:

I want to seriously thank MasPan, for quite literally saving my ass from utter failure when I was so close to my goal of 100k monsters. Polearm Dark Knights with Speed Infusion aren't godly; they're demonic!

My first medal is the hardest obtainable permanent medal,

I disagree on that, PQ medal is harder if you always get idiots and/or overleveled.

Still, an honorable feat. Congratulations to you.

And now I need to get off my ass and work on mine. I'm at 10k with like 25 days left. I plan on a MASSIVE grind all afternoon and into the early morning to try to get to 25k.

And I believe I said "Demonic" not "Beastly" [/COLOR]

More stats should be added to that medal That medal doesn't justify the 30 days you worked for it.

haha, grats again :O *still accepts donations of PoT for new overall :|*

Only thing medals are good for is a unnecessary gigantic colored bar beneath your guild-name which attracts attention. <_<; Literally. The stats aren't very 'awesome', the only medals worth getting are the Cygnus ones that gives a great boost to HP and stats. These ones are uhh... heh.. But grats anyways.

5speed and 1stat is very beneficial to melee classes (except shads). [/COLOR]

PQ medal is harder, quest medal is better. Grats

Oh it's permanent? I thought it was a resetter o_o. I'll go get it f2

They should get the # of kills needed right. I thought it was 10k for the medal (it said so in that medal thread), in the quest it says you need 1,000,000 kills (...), and you actually need 100k kills. o_o

Grats dude! Get the diligent explorer medal next for kicks? >_>

That was nice.

Good Job ! I attempted this one but by the time I got 50k, I only have a few days left >.>.

At least I get a title for my achievement. Majority of games with achievements don't even give you anything other than listing you got the achievement (which you gotta click on the guy/gal's profile anyways). The only other game I can think of that actually awards you with titles (and even items) for achievements is WoW. Who wouldn't want to be called <name> Jenkins, or Chef <name>?

Will edit that.

There are no way I can get that medal at 150+.

Quest medal is too easy to get, because there's not even a time limit; just take your time getting 800 quests. Veteran Hunter is for bragging rights.

That may be, but some people buy kills, as MasPan stated (he's very annoyed by that). At least Quest Specialist isn't necessarily "buyable" (some items, yes; but a lot of quests involve quest-only items).

Anyways, gratz on that! I'll be working on that sooner or later.

Oh no, I'm very pissed off too by people who buy kills. Aren't the people doing the killing annoyed by the sheer fact the buyer is also leeching EXP? Kill buyers can go die in a bus fire.

You probably should do it later. Lacking ~10-20 potential weapon attack that I could have obtained before starting the quest hindered me a lot more than I thought. Make sure you're as optimized as possible so you can so you don't have to worry as much about not finishing the quest in time.

Damn... Congrats! I'm sorry I missed it. I woulda smega'd you something wild and crazy =)

There are Adventurer medals with the same stats as Cygnus ones, we'll get them sooner or later.

nice job dude

I tried to do this a few times but I always got bored by 10,000 done. 4-5 hours a day steadily for a month is kinda crazy >_>
