Thank you, my children. Papa will never forget.

And thus, I collected enough ECO Medal to buy myself an Okashina Intro.
The sacrificed lives of 268 Mandra Carrots were not in vain.

I still can't believe I actually did this in a mere 2 days. 20jt to buy an intro in 2 days. The journey was full of sweat, tears, blood, and other unspeakable liquids, but it was worth it- /slapped

In the end, it's not that hard at all to get money here. The others sell their ECO Medal to a golem who buys them for 4jt each, but seeing the golems selling them for 7-8jt, I tried selling them myself and put a price above 4jt to get more profit, but still below those market prices to make sure it's sold.

I put 2 medals for 5.5jt at first, then went to sleep. When I woke up, they're all sold out. I was really surprised and proceeded to hunt for more sacrifices carrots. This time I tried selling it for 6jt. Higher than before, but still below the market price. And it worked. Not even half a day has passed, it's already sold out. I went to change the hair right away with ilu-chan =w=

Well, after this, I still have so many goals I need to complete one way or another at some point.

- Pepen Doll 5jt
- Pepen Pet 35jt
- Pepen House 50jt
- Pepen Arma 100jt

Yes, still such a long journey indeed. But for now, I feel really satisfied so I'm gonna take a break from farming for and take it easy for a while.

Speaking of ECOjp, this is the second time I've dedicated myself to an online game this much (the first one was when I played ECOid for the first time). ECO is really really fun and is my favorite online game of all time, but playing the Japanese server is much much more fun. There are lots of things to do (that we can never hope to experience before) and life is really easy here (in the terms of anything, money, exp, events, etc.) Well, the community is really limited for us since most of us can't speak Japanese, but there are quite a lot players from ECOid that I didn't feel lonely in the game at all.

This adventure is gonna be a lot more fun with you guys playing here together with me, so hurry and come over here soon ;w;

I want to explore Aile Ciel, Ancient Ark, and the newly implemented Infinite Corridor with you guys orz

Well, that's all for today I guess.

New Beginnings in Zinnia

Hi everyone, it's WildPotato again.

Uh, as you can see, things are going okay over in jpECO. Lots of exciting new things happening, you know? It's to die for. Yep.

Some of you already know this, but I've started playing ECO over in Japan. I wanted to give Ningyou-chan a new life where she could walk proudly, without being called a failure or a usable doll. So now my goal is to get Ningyou-chan to level 108 and rebirth, the first goal I've made myself for ECO. 

Please wish me luck ahahahaha (ノ＝∇＝)ノ彡 ┻━┻

Even though we don't have the luxury of being GBed anymore, leveling up in Japan is a lot easier. Jerico potions heal 150 HP/MP/SP, and are the best healing item you have as a newbie. Now that there are strict anti-GB party effects, you'll pretty much need to solo your way to 100 since everyone else is already 90+. But hopefully you guys can come to jpECO at around the same time so you can party together and have fun =w=

When you're a beginner, you can get lots of free grinding items in IM. You can get unlimited double exp, reset potions, increase weight/cap, and stat boosters. These only last until level 30, though, so you might want to take advantage of them while you can. 

It's recommended that you grind in DW as a low-level since you get a lot of exp for killing weak monsters. Well, as you can see, that's currently what I'm doing. It's a lot easier to die here than in idECO since you aren't supposed to be dual clienting or macro-ing to give you an advantage, though some people insist on doing that even in jpECO, which is 9001 times easier to level up in than idECO. Thankfully though, there is no dying penalty, only a fame penalty according to Esta. And you get 3 fame per quest, anyway, so it's pretty much no penalty at all.

Also, it seems pretty easy to get money in jpECO if you're dedicated. Mandra Carrots sell for 50k each, but if you recycle 67 of them you can get an ECO medal, which you can 1) sell for 4jt or 2) use to get an old IM lottery. It's a bit sad though. Look at what Trass is doing:

"Papaaa? Where are we going?"

"We're going to a fun place together, don't worry."
"But why are we tied up, papa?"

"It's so none of you get lost. There are so many of you, we don't want anyone getting lost on the way, right? It'll be fine! Let's go~!"

"Yaaaay!"

*the carrots skip along happily with papa, thinking they're going on a picnic or something*

"Huh? Papa, what's this thing?"

"It's the Recycling Machine, the place we were going to! Here, let me show you."

He takes one of the carrots to the machine.

"H-huh? Papa, what are you doing?"

He puts the carrot in the machine.

"Papa? Papa? No, papa, stop it! I don't like this!"

"AAAA! PAPA! TAKE ME OUT PAPA! I'M SCARED!"

"NOOO! PAPA! STOP IT! STOP IT!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

You have received 2 recycling points.

 Also, bubus are worth 10jt to golems, so if you hunt bosses you might be able to make good money /shot

And I guess that's it. I'm planning on uploading the client in parts, so please join us soon~

ECO Artsing like a fresh sprout

MONEY

has been the goal of my recent artwork. I have gotten great things with MONEY.

Great, great things.

So some of you might already know this, but I've started a livestream where you can see me work on the commission by cc Genevie (our beloved Valentia/Canelle/Bella). There isn't really a set time where I draw, but even if you can't watch live you can see the past recordings.

Here it is:

I've also started a pixiv account, but it's empty except for the recent Furin artwork.
(Please forgive the google translate Japanese)

I'm planning on entering the Rookie art contest hosted by pixiv, so I'd like to ask for your support when the time comes. Proceeding from the preliminary is based on view count and ratings (orz), so I'll be counting on viewers to spread the word and hopefully help me be one of the 5 foreigners selected to move to the final round.

And that's it for now. Thanks for reading! See you around~

Saga 10 Main Story Translation

After the long procrastination, I present to you the Saga 10 Main Story Translation. To enjoy the full experience of the story, it is highly advised to read this post while playing through the event in-game. There are lots of cool animations and effects to see too.

Deathlene the Assassin, At Your Service

Greetings~

I have been around for quite long, but I haven't even introduced myself yet, have I? My IGN is Deathlene, but my ringmates call me with my handle name,  Frawn. The reason I played ECO was because a certain Pepen kept bugging me about it, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've never played any MMO before this one, so I was excited to have some people I know to play it with. This is how Deathlene looks like in-game :

Deathlene on her way to 110 at Abyss, accompanied by Kuromatsu the Black Cat spirit.

This is late, but reaching lv110 deserve a mention, rite?

Especially after that long period of grindan /o/

So my first max level was achieved at 24th of May 2012. There was a DE week before this, which I got to lv108 from lv105.

Past lv105 it'sreally nice to kill the momons by myself. With DE and the DE week, it was a breeze to gain EXP and the higher my level is the more EXP I get from Abyss' monsters, yay.

I could remember the EXP rate because I speed up everything during the DE week, but when it's over, I get 50% per day at lv108, and 30% per day at lv109. Well, I didn't grind all day since it's still school days for me too @_@

 The chots after level up, because I couldn't capture the level up moment ;_;

Lv110 book, Dark Necronomicon. Hax MAG.

There was a mysterious occurrence a day before this too. I magically gained about 17% EXP while I was sleeping, when I logged on, my EXP bar was only 0.2% from lv110 :Y

Therefore to whoever kidnapped my Klae, thanks a lot. I'd love to reward you with a kiss if I could, but you never admit it was your doing.

 And yeah, I meant a kiss from Doga-chan

/shot 

And I want to thank everyone from Revelations and OwNs for all laughs and supports. It's nice to have you guys around. I wouldn't even have the will to reach the max level without you guys :E


It's kinda sad we're getting less and less time hanging out together. The other day I went to grab pictures from my ECO Saga 8 folder and I noticed some now-missing people. Haha, it will be nice if we all can gather together again for a reunion, like that time during the Fireworks event xD Heck, I hope we all can play together again, but I guess it's hard to do now "orz


Being a lv110 means one less thing to do. And also means that I can use myself to GB people now. When I'm not busy, let's grind together again /o/
(I will be bringing another char too, of course /shot)
