The Adventures of Tobatobu

The wayward travels of an adventurer.

Yay, I made it to 70. I suspect in the near future we will be farming BCNM for Raise III. I have my Kindred Seals ready.

Yesterday I entered the Burning Circle with Maat for the second time. My first time, I was level 66, and in my excitement forgot to use food. Well that didn’t happen this time.

At level 69, I once again challenged Maat to a dual. He accepted. We then met in the Burning Circle at Balga Dais. The old man stood proudly in the center of the ring awaiting my arriving.

I prepared myself, making sure to eat well before the fight. I believe that I may have caught Maat off-guard. Due to some careful planning on my part, I fought him on Lightsday. This helped sway the battle into my favor.

I walked up to Maat in the middle of the circle. I stood Eye to Knee to him. I could remember the blows that I had taken last time. I pulled out my trusty Earth Staff and swung it at him to signal the start of the fight.

During the fight, Maat rarely said anything, but I could see that he was getting tired. About midway he let out a shout at me and tackled me with a Combo, then cast Banish III on me. His efforts were useless. It was at this point that he brought me down to my weakest state during the whole battle. I still had buffer room to get hit twice more. Shellra IV and my Earth Staff had protected me very well.

I easily cured myself for 235, Lightsday and my Healing Ring had kicked in. I followed by another cure with my Regen III going in the background. Maat looked surprised that I responded so quickly. I shot a glance his way, and told him that I’ve practiced by curing suicidal Galka Warriors and Hume Ninjas. He looked frustrated. I knew he didn’t have much more in him.

I was getting low on MP, during the fight I had finished off a Melon Drink and I began tossing down a Yagudo drink. I shot a wink his way letting him know I had more than that left. After a few more blows, Maat accepted defeat.

I put many odds in my favor, I used 2 Bat Earrings, some caster pants and an evasion cape to try help me dodge his blows. I don’t think this helped very much. Maat only missed 3 times during the fight, even when the Bat Earrings giving me +30 to evasion. The Earth Staff was really useful, as was taking advantage of Lightsday. If I were to do it again, this Tarutaru would have used Allure Earrings or a similar earring that protects against light. My back would have had an Empowring Mantle and legs some Noble’s Slacks. Really not too much difference, but a little bit more defense and some more mp. Similarily I would have carried some Paralyze Antidotes just incase my Paralyna didn’t work the first time.

Thank You Maat.

*Ding* Level 69. 6 more to go….

Thats about it.

It’s been a long timey-wimey since Toba has updated. Many things have changed.

First off, Toba is a 51 Summoner yippee. I’m able to wear the clothes that Zavidov made for me and it looks sleek.

Toba completed Chapter 1 of Chains of Promithia. Elynor was very helpful.

Toba is also a level 68 White Mage. Protectra IV and Shellra IV for everyone.

During the last month, Toba was introduced to Dynamis. Very exciting. Toba was the lowest level in Alliance #2 @level 66. Raise 3 is still far from my grasp, but many people accepted Raise 2 just fine. Tobatobu is still working very hard to obtain his Scroll of Raise 3. Unfortunately in the last two months the price has gone from 150k to 1,500k.

Tobatobu has gained access to Sky! Thats right, we finished fighting our way through the Zilart Missions and made it to the legendary sky fortress. Well worth the wait.
