We Are Aviators!

I almost forgot about this picture. It was created the day we travelled to the Moon Island to explore the rumoured kanniballs den.

It appeared the kanniballs were absolutely unprepared to face us and we dealt with them quickly and effortlessly. It’s hard to describe our surprise when we found out that we had learned to gift flowers. Who could’ve expected that kanniballs in fact were nice and gentle somewhere deep inside.

Golden Dragoone: Quick Start Guide to Raising

Golden Dragoone is a soul-eater pet. It feeds on temple dopple souls. Theoretically it is possible to fully train a golden dragoone in 60 days, if one can kill all the dopples and doesn’t skip a day.

There are two main strategies for defeating dopples:

• Kill them faster than they can kill you. This strategy works nicely for heavy hitters.
• Prevent them from hitting you.

In our particular case the responsibility for training a dragoon belongs to cra and sadida. Both can’t deal incredible damage for various reasons, but they possess the abilities to immobilise dopples. Cra’s main strategy is to immobilise an opponent, push it if he or she managed to come too close, and occasionally to reduce opponent’s abilities for ranged combat. Sadida’s favourite tactics is summoning dolls to distract the opponents, to immobilise them with the soothing bramble, and running in circles. Perhaps, strategy like this requires more time, but it guarantees a sure win and highly reduced bread costs.

Even if the core strategy is the same there are some special tricks for each of 12 dopples, of course (I saw the fights almost only with the strongest dopples, so my recommendations are based on this observations and can be unreliable for weaker species).

More Reasons to Keep a Zoo

Cra likes pets. In fact she likes them so much she always carry with her a small zoo. Well, small is very relative… normally she has about 100 – 150 pets. And unlike many people I know (including myself to a certain extent) she really cares about animals: she regularly feeds them, heals them if needed, and takes them for a walk. She even took all our non-souleaters, because we were keeping forgetting to feed them, and they gradually became skinny and unhealthy. Nowadays all the pets are in the best possible condition.

This zoo of hers has been a target for jokes. However we may be forced to reconsider. Pets nowadays are able to help more if they are in the areas they like. Enthusiasm of some pets is so amazing, their effectiveness increases by 300%!

And still I don’t think that pets will be able to compete with dragoturkeys seriously. Pets worth buying and keeping are either too expensive in the first place (like piwins) or very hard to raise (like koalaks requiring pretty rare drops for food, or squirrels that gain experience very slow). Dragoturkeys, even last generations, are cheap, easy and fast to train, almost do not need feeding. Some birds may also increase range or mobility, and pets have nothing to oppose these bonuses.

Below is the full list of known pets, their bonuses (not counting the effects of enhancement potions), favourite areas, and area bonus. Each entry is accompanied by a picture for easier identification of an animal.

Places of Interest

I’m not a fun of sightseeing, but some things are ought to be seen. For example, the Iops temple with the engraved motto “No fear. No brain.”.

Another remarkable place is le Petit Julien (or simply peeing boy fountain): baby iop sprinkles a small pond. I’ve never seen this fountain (or maybe I just haven’t noticed it) except on this picture. And now I really want to find it, it reminds me of another boy in another world…

A baby pandas fountain continues and even further develops the idea of children’s natural beauty. This statue can be found in Neutral Pandala near the Merchant Square. It’s worth mentioning that this architectural wonder not only adorns the main Pandala village but also provides fast access to Incarnam.

Many of us already forgot Incarnam and the bathing beauties greeting all newcomers, yet, these nice ladies used to heal us. But now it may change to better: access to Incarnam has been opened for everyone recently.

Picture Archives

I found an old picture:

Gear was so embarrassed with his pink outfit. But I think he looked pretty, even cute…

And this is his recent picture:

I still think black and white outfit he used to wear looked nicer… Blue isn’t bad but… pink is so much better!
