Happy Anniversary GE PH!

Happy Anniversary GE PH!

If you haven’t been to this celebration, then you’ll clench your teeth in envy!

Excitement and fun filled the Saturday air in SMX Convention in Mall of Asia when Granado Espada finally got to celebrate its first year anniversary since its first launch last May 15, 2007! (Reminisce on the past starting with this first article from the GE website!

Globe Gimmick Games is actually the overall host of the event, but a place was arranged for E-games, specifically for GE’s 1^st year anniv celebration. Although it’s really ironic for me, a Smart employee to be attending an event sponsored by the competition, heck, I came for GE anyway right?! XD

Not far away from the entrance of the GE booth, I saw my long missed, good friend Alex a.k.a. Crosse, who happens to be a GM for O2Jam and Audition. I forgot his GM name though… *scratches head* (Sorry dude!!! XD)

After the usual registration and CD & Poster give aways of E-games for the games Audition, GE, Top Speed and Cabal, players enter the little world of GE where a stage and dozens of PC’s are set up.

…But that’s not really what really attracts first the attention of people who go in. Instead, it’s the players who are there, active [or not so active], which has gathered… all for the love of the game.

It can’t be denied that GE has lost a big chunk of its players due to lack of Market or simply because the support for the community wasn’t enough. *Cough* But still, the game lives on and the players who attended are like one big family who knows who, giving high fives and sharing smiles as if they haven’t seen each other 5 hours ago online! Those greetings were actually what I most noticed mainly because I haven’t been able to catch up on the community ever since I have ‘unofficially quit’.

I saw how happy the community is and realized that this was what made me love the game more (of course the game per se was what first attracted me to play) but when friends come in, the game doesn’t just simply become a childish past time anymore. I missed everyone and did I enjoy every second of me being alive in the community again! Despite not being able to catch up with the latest in-game items, RNPCs and never ending community issues, my dear in-game---and eventually turned iRL friends--filled me up with what I missed during my 6 month absence.

And indeed, a lot has happened to the game and the community during those 6 months. I may not be able to list them all, but what I can recall, I write down.

- Before I left, Outcast faction members were scattered, most numbers absorbed by All Stars (while my character obviously being idle remains with OC)

- New RNPCs (Those karate-skilled characters… dunno what they even look like! o_o") Although I hear they deal out major damage but weak on defense. (Anyone wanna prove this?)

- Of course, with new characters comes new skills. I didn’t even bother joining the trivia contest during the middle of the event because I have noooo idea what the answer is. *sad* ~_~”

- CM Aethrin replacing CM Veya after her resignation (Kudos twinnie! Good luck on your new career!)

- Big discounts on Merch Cards because of the upcoming Server Merge!!! What is gonna happen now?! (Poll: Which has a BETTER sounding name? ‘Carraccibelle’ or ‘Paracci’?! Lol! XD)

- After all that, Covenant is still alive! WOOOOT! =))

Back to the event itself, really cool and ‘drool-full’ prizes were abundantly given away. Just when I felt like an outsider, (being a loner with Kincaid on the corner, sharing “Porn” LMAO! XD) while everyone else was enjoying and grabbing prizes, CM Aethrin gave each player 2 raffle stubs for the later draw. I really wasn’t expecting to take home anything… until somehow, the game seems not to let me quit!

...Why?

Would you believe… out of all the people in that event, I was lucky enough to be one of the 3 major raffle winners! Woot! ^_^v And my prize? Please do not tease me with this… I won a LE BLANC SET OF MY OWN CHOICE! XDD Before snapping into reality, I heard “Woaaaahh! Tatlo na ganyan nya! Arbooor naaa!” before I came up the stage looking surprisingly stupid. XD I really didn’t expect being lucky, but hey, who am I to turn down blessings right? ^_~

Not to brag but I do have 2 Le Blancs in my account, one with my Fighter Arcania while the other is with Cyprus, my Scout. I could ask for a Le Blanc for Althea, my super well-endowed Elementalist, but then again, I really don’t wanna change my bestfriend’s hard-earned Le Ventisca for that! Requested instead for my Wizard Victoria. =D

Other raffle prizes that were given away was a One 100-level weapon of their choice and the grand 256 (?) Palit Video Card which was won by probably the luckiest person in that event! …He took home 2 video cards after winning the first one in the trivia contest! FTW! XD (T> Le Blanc for Vid Card. XDDD)

Other signs that told me GE wasn’t letting me go that easy was after getting another big surprise after being awarded AGAIN of a certificate for being a blogger that says:

"For [their] stupendous efforts in chronicling events, news and features

pertinent to the Granado Espada community."

Awww… *sniff* I was so touched that eventhough I was inactive and was just able to update my GE blog, I still got this award! *scratches head* xD

And that’s not the end! Prizes for those who came in wearing the black-themed outfit, limited Granado Espada ID laces…straight from Singapore were given away! Man, was I lucky enough to grab the LAST one after swimming my way on the pleading hands of other players. XD Other stuffs to choose from were a sticker (?) mouse pad with an Adelina and Bernelli design (the only ones I saw) and a T-shirt with an awesome theory about “The Theory of Levelution”. (See below for Reimaru and the shirt!)

See the cool "levelution" logo! XD

Aside from the GE anniv, another special occasion was being celebrated aside the aisle. Gathered are friends among friends, eating cake brought by Mena for NineMoons' 26^th birthday! Again, belated Happy Birthday Girl! :)

NineMoons enjoying her triple-layered cake. Yumyum! :)

The rest of the story can be told through the pics. Thanks for sharing these PJ!

2008-08-09T03:46:00.000-07:00

Highly honored that despite being inactive in the gaming world for quite some time now, our dear PH CM Veya has featured me as this month's Girl Gamer!

Many thanks for not forgetting GE community! I hope to be able to serve Granado Espada even iRL. :)

Missing the GE rush,

Blast from the past: Archer character anyone?

2008-06-03T19:30:00.000-07:00

In attempts to think of an article i could update my blog with, fellow blogger Blacksword reminded me of the reason why i started a blog in the first place.

Reminiscing, I remembered my e-mail to CM Hrin on August of 2007, sending her my idea of an RNPC character I would love to be added in the GE classes. Although this class may not be new to everyone, I've tried to think of unique skills to at least compensate for this favorite kind of class of mine.

For those who is new to reading my blog, read on and see what i've thought about having an ARCHER class in Granado Espada. ~XD

Click on the link above to be redirected to my very first blog post, "The Lost Princess"... (and i still want to finish that story mind you. I'll think of the next scenes already! I promiiiiissseee!!! XD)

And yes, i know about the actual archer class CALYCE that is already existing in the GE gameplay. (Although i didn't know of her since news of her didn't come out since January yet. =p)

Source: http://doratomo.jp/~sannpomiti/info/466.html

Here is a hafly translated guide to getting her: http://forums.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?t=37913&highlight=Calyce

**Note: Still no exact date/patch when she will come out)

Let's just hope this RNPC is worth recruiting, if not, i'll stick with Princess Diazame. LOL!

Further Maintenance?!

2008-05-20T02:39:00.000-07:00

Although there had been an advance warning that a maintenance will take place today, players expected it would be the usual server downtime like thursdays. But then it was extended to 5pm... and now to 10 pm!

From GE News:

http://ge.iahgames.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=392

[Further Extension] Maintenance20 May 2008

Dear Gamers,

Due to unforseen circumstances, there will be a further extension of the maintenance to 2200 hrs (GMT+8) for these services:

Granado Espada Game Service
Granado Espada Forums
IAHGames' Passport system

We apologise for any inconvienence caused.

- Team GE

We can't do anything about this anyway right? I'm just wondering what's the "unforseen circumstance/s" though. *Remembers Kincaid's comment ROTFL* >:)

So dear fellow GE players, instead of getting hyped up with the long wait, find something else to do. Sleep and prepare for your long game time when the server is up, or go buy yourself a Game! mag and read my article LMAO! ^___^v

Updated 12 hours later...

Oooookkaaaayy.... So.... uhhh... yeah...we understand that you may still need time to continue the maintenance, but somehow, why doesn't it seem like such a suprise?

IAH, you're loosing MILLIONS a day! I could just see the fire threads that would start regarding this uber long maintenance......................................

Better make it up to the players or else you'd LOSE them. Bluntly said.

*Sigrid goes back to work*

Word of the day: (Which so happens to be VERY applicable to the situation)

You Lag ~~IAH~~ iRL.

http://www.offworlddesigns.com/p-351-u-lag-irl.aspx

Bwahahaha! ~XD

(Side-tracking) Plug: Game! mag MAY issue

2008-05-13T22:28:00.000-07:00

I finally have in my hands my complimentary copy (LMAO) of Game! mag's MAY issue where vainly said, my article on Claymore Anime is published. Please don't try researching the anime if you don't know it, might as well buy yourself a copy and read my article. LOL!

(Of course i can't scan the article right? It's against company policy LMAO! XD
Picture taken from NineMoon's article.)

But hey, that's not the only perks you'll get anyway! On Granado Espada, our very own NineMoons has once again tirelessly reported on the events that took place last month such as the Girl Gamer Event and E-Games Domination II!

See a lot of pictures and please don't wonder why you'll see in most of the pictures! >.<" It was NineMoons who chose the pics, it just so happened uhhh... I was there? XD

Also, please I beg of you, for the sake of the preservation of my own innocence (LOL again *evil laugh*) DO NOT! I say, DO NOT! tease or violently react about the line about me in the "Writer's Guild" section of the magazine. It was not my fault! I didn't write it! Acccck! Blame Game! >_<" But yeah, I'm pluging it at the same time to so go buy it already! ~XD

I believe in seaGE!

2008-05-11T20:17:00.001-07:00

To make up for the previous article i made regarding IAH's pending (?) disintegration, I let my photo editing hobby kick-in and i made a screenie of my characters. Well, i'd like to highlight the "i believe in seaGE" at the upper left corner of the picture mainly because I DO believe in seaGE. Believing that despite all the negative issues they encounter, i hope for the betterment of the game and everything else that comes with it (Staff, players, events, gameplay!).

No, i wasn't secretly mailed and blackmailed to be banned (LOL!) because of my negative feedback towards them. I actually got inspired also through NineMoon's own free 'i believe in seaGE [copyrighted] logo'. XD

It just shows that eventhough we have things to rant about GE (and IAH for that matter), it doesn't also necessarily mean we're not enjoying it as well. (If we didn't, we would have quit long ago and wouldn't even bother to blog about it right?)

So here i am, showing my love for the game! Make yours too! ^_^v

*Edits some more SMALLER avatars* ~XD

UPDATE:

I was finally able to make the avatars/logo i was talking about. I just copied the design of the logo i made from the screenshot above but made different colors for everybody's preference although there's still a small copyright of my name in it. XD

If you liked it and would want to use it, just let me know, chat me here (leave your e-mail add)me or e-mail me so i'll give you a copy without the copyright so you could go and spread the word too! =D (Sorry for the upcoming pic spam >.<") *Note: logos come in PNG format

*Still cooking up some more designs. Hope you'll watch out for it!* ^_^v

On †Bayushi†'s Scamming Issues

2008-05-07T20:57:00.000-07:00

And of the pending (?) disintegration of GE…

If my dear reader, you are still unaware or is simply curious of what happened regarding Carracci’s Outcast Faction Leader –†Bayushi†’s scamming, the story is summed up as someone (let’s name him “scumbag”) copying my Faction mate’s name Basconian and turning it into “Basconiian”.

Since the names are undoubtedly almost the same, my TRUSTING FL got scammed with his +7 Pizzarro (with stats 40% attack, 40% Human, 85% Wild Beast). Now that’s where the story starts.

He reports it and unfortunately, doesn’t get the justice he was looking for. The thread were he “rants” of his issue can still be viewed in this close thread:
http://forums.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?t=37463&page=2

BUT WAIT!

Before you go on reading it and add to the rising flame posts and get your opinions bursting, go through this article of mine and I will TRY to sum it for you.

*Author’s note:
With all honesty, I am not pleased with how IAH manages the wonderful game SPECIFICALLY in this instance. I will try my very best to write this article and be constructive towards both sides. Although I am posting my OWN thoughts to pour… well, it can’t be helped now that I am taking a stand to a COMING revelation to Granado Espada.

---

In that forum thread, I believe Bayushi has opted on posting his issue to let IAH (and basically, the players) know that 1) find the scammer and 2) he doesn’t want to pay the “administrative fee”, generally, a player who got scammed DOESN’T need to pay it.

But according to IAH’s policies, it is a compulsory act that must be done for his process to be requested.

…And that’s where the flame starts.

All those players who empathize on the one who got scammed says players doesn’t have to pay (if ‘m not mistaken, it’s a $20 ADMIN FEE!) while other players who have posted their opinion and wanted to “help” looks like they side on IAH.

I am not saying they are defending IAH and I will, for NO-FLAME’s sake, name names. There was one player (Poster 1) who simply tried to help by posting the arrangements that happened about previous scamming reports.

Then there’s another player (Poster 2) who also wants to “help” but to my POV, has become insensitive in giving his (or her) opinion. He doesn’t need to say Bayushi si a “retard” or a “kid” just because he’s voicing his thoughts. His first post almost seemed fine as we very know it was partially Bayushi’s ‘negligence’ that caused him his +7 pizz.

But either he’s just posting for opinion’s sake, or he wanted to start a flame. Why? Because this is a sensitive issue. He doesn’t need to say such harsh things to the person who is aggravated in this issue.

To look at it plain and simple, you wouldn’t want to put gas in an already flaming house right? I just hoped he would have given sincere BUT sensitive comments thus, the flame would have not started.

All other players who have joined in the conversation understands their POV as a player. That if they are in the shoes of Bayushi, they too would want ‘justice’ and rant about it if IAH does not solve the issue.

So summing it up, the thread was closed by IAH staff Edythia, responding to this issue with this:

As for Bayushi who still didn’t get the solution he was looking for, [READ: “1) find the scammer and 2) he doesn’t want to pay the “administrative fee”, generally, a player who got scammed DOESN’T need to pay it.”] get more heated up.

He continued his rant in this thread:

http://forums.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?p=411873&posted=1#post411873 in hopes of IAH finding a solution already.

Yes, we understand IAH staff doesn’t read all tickets 24/7 because they too need sleep, etc. But then, isn’t it clear that as a player (and the one aggravated at that), should see that it might not be hard for IAH to track down the scammer.

Bayushi can make another +7 pizz with better stats than the one scammed. He is reiterating that a SCAMMED PLAYER shouldn’t pay.

Taking notes on this threads, I have personally become certain that IAH is turning their “PLAYERS” into “CUSTOMERS”. It is sad to know that to be able to enjoy such a wonderful game, it is not “free”. Ironic isn’t it? I just want to point out this certain issue because I feel that Granado Espada MIGHT disintegrate if such management will occur.

I am saying this not only with my own words, but of other players as well. I may not have played for a long time, but I keep myself aware of the happenings in GE and I would very much want to see this game last long.

Here are interesting (and things to ponder) screenshots regarding a players’ sentiments. Do find Kincaid as a constructive and frank “player/customer”.

As for this screenshot from Bayushi:

I hope this isn’t true. We lie in wait to see how IAH will respond to the different kinds of issues they encounter and we can only hope that Granado Espada will see the dawn of prosperity... (not in terms of $$$ actually) -.-

May this incident serve as a lesson to each and everyone that we are prone to be scammed/hack/disgraced/corrupted in any means. Our own judgement and stand is what matters.

We shout: "we are PLAYERS!"

(This might be the time my "CM look" (see avatar) should come in don't you think? LOL)

God save us all.

Here's a follow-up link by NineMoons regarding Scamming's branch: Cloning.

Read it here and be wary what ASCII abuse can do.

Hey, we're not teaching you how to scam alright?! It's about defending ur selves from those @#$%^&*! scumbags out there. ~_~"

Rant ends.

E-Games Dom1nation: G.E. Aftermath!

2008-04-06T07:06:00.000-07:00

The long entry line has deemed worthy as the E-Games Dom1nation 2 became a success to all it's players who traveled near and far to attend this big event! It was fun and tiring, but would a player really give up this opportunity to meet and greet other players rather than spend this one special Sunday to level-up their characters? Come on! >_<"

So here's the aftermath pic spam that would kill your PC [less] since I upload pics the same way I do with my other articles. I'll just be posting 'em up and not do anymore coverage since NineMoons did a better documentation of that day. Read her Article here.

Here are the pictures and let them tell you the story. ^_^v

The Face behind the Family: Meet the BEAUTIFUL players of Granado Espada!

2008-03-29T21:55:00.000-07:00

Before i start my article, here are my own few sentiments mainly because of my own personal mishap: (better if you skip this one, LOL)

1) My shame on not being able to update my blog for months! Being idle in blogging, i finally have something to post and this is all about the 1st Girl-Gamer-Gathering held at iFrog Cafe in Metrowalk Pasig, hosted of course by E-games (and our dearly beloved pCM Veya), bringer of the Granado Espada game that is the purpose why such a gathering is held.

2) For not posting the FFA Grand Finale Results T_T". I might as well just link it to the official GE announcment since it's known by almost all FFA enthusiast anyway! XD And Though we didn't win this FFA series, it's a good thing I mentioned Kudos before to whoever wins and again, congratulations to them! (I'm happy for getting 140k G-points as consolation anyway! *shopping spree mode weeeee!~*

3) This isn't all rants! XD So I want you to know that I'm very honored and thankful for being one of the awarded as one of the Granado Espada's Fantastic Film Awards Heroes along with the rest of the other contestants namely: Kincaid, deEspania, Fetuccini, Familier, Mortreux, Weisswritter, Behringer, Fiksdotter, Reclusion, iCez, NineMoons, Artaxerxes, Mena, Zaleski, Corinthias and Cerex.

Thanks to Ninemoon's post, i was able to know I'd be receiving this award on the 2nd E-Games Dom1nation on April 6 at SMX Mall of Asia. *overwhelmed* Woot! Hope to see you all there! ^^v

Okay then, It ends there. XD

* * *

So going back to the event, I personally loooved the gathering and everything that happened in it. Not only because it was made personally made for Girl Gamers like us, but It was also an opportunity for us to gather together and know the faces behind the players we encounter in the GE community. It was funny to know some of their stories in-game, mostly when WE are being MISTAKEN as GUYS more often than we want to >___<"! *Pic spam Starts here! =)

Game Frog Cafe at Metrowalk

Aside from the great company and chit chats, there were free food & drinks, free play and freebies for the gals who attended!

Loot bag contains GE poster, GE pin, uniform pencil,
and the game code for the Bunny Hairlace!
(Other GE merchandise for sale was the GE Shirt for
P200 and the usual Water Jug
and Limited Edition GE box.)

Free play!

(Why do i have a feeling the one hiding might be a guy!? @___@")

...Stop drooling! Nyahaha! >:P

It was a time for our voices to be heard, (and our fan boys to grow? LOL!) and our presence known... That not only guys can be competitive in the gaming industry (not necessarily GE only~) but for everyone to realize that we can be "mamaws/adiks" too! *Finds a guy to bully* ~XD

All hail Riasa aka Stormseek of Vivaldi!
The only expert Family who was there hopefully i'll be next soon! XD)
Oh and by the way, she's more mamaw than ever.
She won the 1st prize in the raffle, an Elite Le Ventisca in-game!
Woot! Lucky, lucky!

PJ (NineMoons) tries on her own GE shirt!
She won the 2nd prize, a Le Blanc of her own choice!
I'm super envious! XD (Le Blacn fighter! :X)
(According to her, she chose the Wizard outfit)

And here's sincerely yours, with my best bud Angela
who accompanied me to the event.
(She's a FlyFF player btw, am still getting her to play GE! >_<") I won the 3rd prize for the raffle and got me self this:

Not bad Huh? XD
(Image taken from this GE article.)

Fellow Blogger and Faction mate Oliveoyl also won 300 Adelina Booty Search! Congratulations girl! I hope you get to back a worthy item...let's say... Gavin Jameson!? woot!

Aside from the usual event-happenings, the main highlight of the gathering was the 'Focus Group Discussion' where the E-games-GE team listens to our side regarding anything and everything about the game. The special guest of the night was Relly Carpio of HackenSlash Gaming Blog who interviewed the girl gamers. Watch out for the videos/article he recorded about this event! ^_~v

Spoilers:

Sources say this Granado Espada ID necklace will be

one of the prizes in the event in E-games Dom1nation.

Be sure to brush up your GE knowledge as

After much suspense, the long wait is finally over! The FFA Intel 'Scene & Heard' submission week has revealed the winners!

Watch and read the article here.

This is our Entry for this submission:

Granado Zuuuuperstars!

See who IS the ultimate Granado Zuperstars in our forum poll! ^_~v Click here.

Congratulations to my team! (<---Vanity. XD) And of course to my close friends, Reclusion brothers, Fiksdotter, and Deniva. *Waves Baudetti Flag*

ZOMGWTFBBQLOLS!!! >_<"

2008-02-02T00:05:00.000-08:00

SPOILER: Please forgive me as the next pics you will see make you go LMAO on your seats. >_<"

After a long day's work, I had a chance to relax by getting a haircut yesterday. I said byebye to my long hair (it was a year ago since i last had a haircut) and when the final touches were done, only then did I think long and hard as to whom I look like........

(Continue reading and you will realize why my haircut has been so relevant with GE. *shivers in my seat*)

This is my haircut. Guess who i look like?!? O_O"

*Drum roll* *guessy, guessy!*

ZOMGGGGGGGWTFBBQLOOOOLLLL! O_O"

But wait, there's moreeee! o_O"

What has happened to me??? LOL! I was thinking maybe this was ONE OF THE MANY results of having withdrawals from Granado Espada... You SUBCONSCIOUSLY tend to LOOK like the CM's... O_O"

Be surprised if the next time around, my pajamas would look like Le Blanc.

Haha! ^^v

Bahaia Patch Invitations!

2008-01-29T06:17:00.000-08:00

I know Bahadia Patch has been out for quite some time now. I always, alwaaaaayys tend to post topics just when they start to be outdated. LOL! >_<" But hey, like the saying goes, it's "better late than never" right? ^^" So to make up for that, I made 2 front greeting-card-like regarding Bahadia Batch. This are my actual screenshots, taken the first time i visited Bahaia. (Freebie for VETERANS ONLY: Don't forget to get your FREE Wreath (White rose-liek hair accessory for females.. and males too! o_o") Get it from RNPC Rosa Blanca.

Explore the place and discover lots of great view, mini-games, and of course, the island of Fire where unfortunately, I haven't been too yet. *Not enough vis to buy key* LOL! >_<"

Stop drooling at my elementalist! :p

*Edited: Thanks to the commenter. >_<"

My 2008 New Year's Resolution ...ulp!

2008-01-24T19:38:00.000-08:00

This 2008, I thought resolutions weren't that recognized anymore. I wasn't into the whole resolution thing 'coz despite saying to myself I want to do this and not that, i still end up being my old 'un-improved' self. >_<"

So now, i might just dip into this whole resolution thing and TRY with all effort to persue my first ever serious resolution for 2008:

*This picture had been my entry for the Forum Quest 10: Veya's Challenge - Posh Holiday Stylish Screenshot (wheeew, what a long title >_<") See that topic here.

Aside from that very general (and not to mention HARD!) iRL resolution, there are actually numerous detailed resolutions I want to do or change in my life. I might make a screenshot for all of those but that would add another to my personal resolution: "find time to play GE! *DND working.* sob. ~_~")

I can only LOL. ~XD

As for those numerous resolutions, i don't really have to mention it all here 'coz this might just get melo-dramatic. ^o^

"The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul”

G. K. Chesterton

Happy start to everyone! ^_~v

Sigrid Invades POGS 2008!

2008-01-13T21:29:00.000-08:00

I finally found some time to get my mind off work related stuff and do what i love doing best. And that oppurtunity came as the Philippine Online Gaming Summit (...not Society! >_<") held its famous celebration at the Trinoma Event Area yesterday (January 13).

*Disclaimer: Pic spam is inevitable. ^_____^v

The center stage with its humungous screen.

A look at the entrance

View from the top (I told you there were so many people!)

I arrived around lunch time and the event was crowded like popcorns in a glass box already! Booming background music from Granado Espada was setting the mood for gamers of all ages and developers. The main host for this event, Game! Magazine is selling their November/December 2007 issue like pancakes since it's the entrance requirement to POGS. :D

Cool enough, the IP E-games booth is set near the entrance so it's one stop for freebies you can't miss! E-games offers free posters and installers upon registration and there were other merchandise for sale too. (Yay! I got me the newest Granado Espada poster! But darn, i forgot to ask for the Bahadia patch CD. >_<")

E-games Booth

The event had tons of raffles, live contests, F2P, iRL quests, PvP's, concerts, cosplays and friends to meet that was definately worth the time, sweat and exhaustion felt.

Hey, hey, hey! There are kids watching! >_<"

The Reclusion brothers at the PvP event

*Ugug!* Gian is hit by a monster!
"Baaah i kill u aaaalll! -Geroro "T" is that you?!? >:)

PH CM Veay being interviewed by the event host

I was glad to know our first FFA winning entry "Relapse" was played at the big screen and was viewed by all those present. (Too bad I didn't get to see their reactions though, I left the event early. >_<") Together with it where the FFA winning entries movies also such as Reclusion/Behringer/Fiksdotter's "Lonely Hearts II" and Reclusion/Behringer/Ninemoon's "Not Another Love Story"

Here are some pic spams of real-life friends (and new found ones!) who attended the event:

The gamer/blogger girls: Ninemoons, DeSanggria and meeh!

The GE players (sorry PJ & Anne! It looks like your the only one NOT from Carracci! :p)

Group pic # 8,291= From the right: Device, Reclusion (Darrick hiding in hood), Fiksdotter, others (lol), deSanggria, Blacksword, Ninemoons and Mena.

Game! Assistant Editor Diane Reyes (woot!), Me again.. >_<", Reclsuion (Nate) over at the back and Audi CA Alex Crosse (uh-oh! :P)

After much poses and repeated "excuse me's" ('coz the place was so crowded i tell you!), overall, the event was one celebration no gamer should miss!

'till next POGS! ^^v

*Special thanks to Ninemoons for sharing with me some of her pics from the day's event! ^_^

*Author's Personal Note: As i was saying earlier, although I did like team Tokoyoshi's Video "Chobits' Codename: Catherine", i very much would want to express my deepest opinion that the judging of IAH for the different submission weeks are somehow mixed up because there's a big difference between doing a 'spoof' and a 'drama/love story/tragic movie'.

There may be elements that were put into consideration (like story, video quality, etc.) but still, I THINK to be able to classify and actually 'see' the best video is to have a category on the videos for the future FFA submission weeks. (e.g. "Bloopers vs. bloopers, you get the point. ~_~") but then again, i think this would be impossible now since as i currently write this article, the winners for the 2nd submission week has already been decided upon. I just hope in future competitions like this, everything is ironed out entirely. ^^,

And so without further ado, Congratulations everyone and Let's go and make more entries!!! ^_______^v

Intel Film-Making Awards...winners revealed!

2008-01-08T18:31:00.000-08:00

Last December 16, 2007, Intel Machinimasia has collaborated with IP E-games and Granado Espada to bring its players a fun and exciting seminar on Video Making!

It was a seminar fully booked with players who got to know the start of "Machinimasia" (Machine + Animation + Cinema) and eventually led to the pre-announced on-the-spot video making contest.

Of the many participants and videos Intel and E-games personnel have watch, 6 videos were chosen. They were posted in the forum and were polled on who is Granado Espada's Community Choice (Click here for the summary of poll) and out of that, the winners were finally concluded:

A look on who's behind the ~~[peculiar]~~ owner of Sigrid...

Unlike other blog support sites, this one doesn't provide "About Me" link. So i took the liberty of stopping being such a phantom of the opera, I am turning the identity of the Sigrid Controller"s" into an article.

While many thinks Sigrid is Male, I would like to clarify that Sigrid has two beings.

I am Joan (going under the pseudonym of Lady ‘K), a 19-year-old impudent blogger of Diaryo el Familia Sigrid. Initially the owner of Sigrid account, I asked my bestfriend Kienz to play it during evenings and early mornings and eventually made Sigrid known as a Bloodlusting family in PVP. O_o”

I only play the account during morning or until Kienz’s shift is up. But unfortunately, it is life that soon after you graduate, one eventually needs to work. (And here I am updating my blog while at work! *LOL!*)

I’m a graduate of Journalism currently residing in Manila, Philippines, while Kienz is in Pangasinan (still part of the Philippines) who still gets to enjoy allowances and play GE anytime. *sob*

Sigrid’s name had no origin, except that I thought it was a very nice name. Even before the game was launched, I tried to kill anybody who would try and use that name. LOL! XD

I love the irony o f life, I write when in the mood, I like some stuffed burritos right now, and all I want is to discover my limitless capabilities. =)

"The Vision Still Exists."

COMING DECEMBER 2007.

Celebrating Halloween... Granado Espada Style!

2007-11-04T00:48:00.000-07:00

Last October 26, Granado Espada has launched their Halloween patch containing the in-game event “Tiburon’s Scarecrows” where in players can win a once-in-a-year exclusive headgear, the Pumpkin Hat. All the task requires is to talk to the Halloween event NPC Tiburon at the Port of Coimbra and he’ll ask you to look for 20 scarecrows scattered all over the GE map!

At first, the task may seem to be a real pain (‘coz you really had to search every dungeon floor, map corners and not to mention go into high level places with monsters!) but I find the expedition worth the cool prizes. At the first day of the event alone, most of the online players were already searching for the locations of those Halloween scarecrows (Talk about going Trick or Tricking!) and the floating text or microphones had an inflation as everyone was asking what the locations were. Good thing our fellow GE players shared the locations they know and posted the accurate sites where they could be found and thus, complete all 20 hiding scarecrows.

For those who still doesn’t have the Pumpkin Hats (which turned the city into a fusion of what seemed to be V for Vendetta, Thriller by Michael Jackson, and the rise of the Pumpkin Zombies) you still have until the 8^th of November until the in-game event stops.:) Visit the GE forum here for more information about the event.

The thread about the locations of the scarecrows seems to be down so I’ll just post it here. (Trust me, these are the locations I went to. >_<”)

Location & Coordinates:

Jezebel Glen E4
Porto Bello Deserted Quay G9
Porto Bello Deck K7
Porto Bello Cliff J2
Thueringenwald H2
Pradera de Ceniza G6
Rion de Prairie E10
Vegas Javier I10
Crater of Joaquin H6
Old Port of Coimbra D4
Tetra Catacomb G5
Tetra Ruins D8
Reboldeaux Stonepit J4
Ferrucio Junction F6
Bonavista River F4
King’s Garden G5
Al Quelt Moreza G9
Al Qulet Parsonage G8
Cathari Falls G9
El Lago Celeste G5

Now this doesn’t necessarily have to be followed in order. What’s important is that you find all 20 scarecrows to get these prizes:

5 Scarecrows = 10 Chocolates
10 Scarecrows = 5 Level 64 Enchantment Chips
15 Scarecrows = 5 Diamond Coupons
20 Scarecrows = 3 Pumpkin Hats

It wouldn't really hurt if you'd go take advantage of the in-game events. It's a really a good way of winning for your family not only items (in-game or real life) but it's plus points to your family's reputation as well. :) I hope Granada Espada continues to cook up more events for players to participate in. And i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Jack Frost costume in December (If there's any~). LOL!

I also made some comic screen shots in-line with the Halloween event: XD

Because they didn't know Tiburon gives Pumpkin hats away:

When they thought it could scare monsters away:

Wearing Pumpkin Hats anywhere isn't always a good idea:

With new headgears comes NEW MONSTERS!
And when you're mistaken for one...

...you get Muay thai-ed. Ouch. That's Gotta Hurt. >_<"

A know-how on the Great Hill Giant

2007-09-09T23:38:00.000-07:00

...Learn from a faction who's taken down a GREAT HILL GIANT.
(Granado Espada's 'INCREDIBLE HULK')
By Kincaid (Covenant Faction Leader)

Faction quests in Granado Espada, are a test of these leadership qualities, and it is an experience that is as rewarding for the members as much as for the leader.

Faction Quest 51 is basically divided into two quests: the Great Hill Giant and the Chrysalis, respectively. Completing both quests will earn the Faction Leader an inherent glow, the Leader's Brilliance; it also allows the faction to have its own customized logo, and the option to appoint a second deputy leader. Sir Lyndon or Pioneering Officer Chrystelle, will give you the quest for upgrading the Faction.

The first part is to defeat the Great Hill Giant. He can be summoned by pouring the Honeywater on the large stones at E5 Vegas Javier. (Don't worry, you'll never run out of Honeywater; You can always summon the Great Hill Giant until you've finally beaten him.)

Statistics:

Name: Great Hill Giant
Level: 90
HP: 2,313,402
Attack: 11,144
Defense: 121
Resistance: 30 All
Skills: Earthquake

The biggest problem in dealing with GHG is tanking it. If the tank dies, it changes target and you'll run out of precious time to defeat him. You only have around 30minutes to kill him, and you can't waste time running around trying to avoid his attacks and revive everyone that died. A Fighter with Provoke and High Guard is very useful for this, since they can block attacks and can probably survive his skill.

Once you've finally found a good tank to deal with him, you can use normal attacks to deal damage, so he doesn't change targets. Should you want to use a skill, use it when he can’t 'see' you (ie. target him from the back). Elemental ground spells are useful (such as blizzard and tornado holding) but you also run the risk of getting too close just to cast the spell. With a good tank, and enough firepower, GHG should be a fun and rewarding guild activity. Its only drop is the crystal stone of hill giant used as proof for Sir Lyndon that the faction has indeed taken down the oversized monster.

On the experience…

We have been practicing some tanking with it, but we always die a lot. We've finally brought down the GHG on the third try, together with our allied factions. We were supposed to get it done on the second try, but unfortunately, there was a mass disconnection from users in the Philippines and Malaysia, so we ran out of firepower during the last 10 minutes.

We couldn't have made it without participative members or helpful allies. (Bluntly, those who will join in the quest should at least be level 80+ to survive at least a hit. But if low level characters do wanna join, they could be healers or 'resuiers'. ~_~") And as a faction leader, I've learned that dying is a big part of the game, and its not as bad as you think it is. It only makes you humble enough to make you realize that sometimes, you're never good enough taking everything on your own.

...SPOILER!

When Worlds Collide: Part II
A Granado Espada Fanfiction

Part II: A Life Worth Dying For

As three months passed from continues sailing from Vespanola to the New World, the ship of the new Queen approaches the Town of Coimbra…

From afar, they can see the smoke and remains of what seems to be an intense battle that just took place. Queen Diazame wanted to disembark and see what has happened, but she was heeded by his royal advisor that they might be caught in between the fight if a battle is going on... Yet Diazame felt she needed to be there, that she had to be there!

The ship anchors in the Port of Coimbra, the city of fishermen and the sun. Yet no matter how good the place must have been, it was not spared by the war as the small city has become a lifeless ruin…

As Diazame and her troops rummage through the deserted town, she was astounded to see the outcome of the battle… She had only seen one dead body, and that was her mother’s. But the late Queen Elizabeth only looked as if she was sleeping, softly slumbering in her royal coffin.

But this… this lake of dead cadavers was a chilling and frightening feeling that despite many of the corpse was of their enemy, it made her realize how fragile life is, and from the eyes of the slain, this is not what they wanted. But they had to fight for their country’s sake.

They walked further, trying to find any sign of life, any s

urvivors, a soldier, a townsmen, anyone! The Queen was getting desperate yet she realized that they had other duties to fulfill. She was going to ask her troops to board the ship already when one of his soldiers shouted. “Someone’s alive in here! Your Majesty come quick!”

Diazame felt the surge of her blood as she raced to the survivor. The soldier was just looking at the man lying, semi-conscious and was bleeding to death. “What are you doing?!" She souted. "Help him up!”

“But your majesty… he’s… he’s-!”

“He’s a what?!”

She took the man himself and realized why the soldier didn’t want to help him. Covered in blood and dirt, it was highly distinguishable that this man was of high ranking, more like a captain for Brestian’s Army.

“Your Highness!” Diazame’s Royal advisor detested. “This man is our enemy! He has lead the battle to fight our people and you’re going to help him?!”

“Treat him!” She blurted. “He may be an enemy, but I have seen enough bloodshed. We embarked on this journey to stop the war, not tolerate it! He may be an enemy, but he is still human in need of help.”

“But My Queen! What if he attacks us after we treated him?!”

“Only a man who has no breeding would bite his rescuer’s hand. He seems to be a noble man.”

“Excuse my persuasiveness your Highness, but even if he is well-mannered, you cannot remove the fact that he was trained to become a soldier, a cold-hearted murderer to carry on his task and live for his country’s sake!”

“You said it yourself Gastor, ‘to live for his country’. He wants to live and look at him! He looks as if he’s barely making it. But, fine… if it would make you sleep well tonight, have him guarded well, but I want our guest to be treated properly. I will check on his condition in his barracks.”

“Alas, As her Majesty wishes...” Gastor sighed.

As they carry the wounded captain back to the ship, Diazame ponders at the name of the mysterious young man who struggles to live amidst the lost fight…

Free-for-all-topic: "If Andre had a rival..."

2007-08-27T22:11:00.000-07:00

...How would that NPC be?

Describe his/her personality, image, skills and of course... services! ^o^

(OMG the world has gone mad! >_<")

My idea:
*WARNING!* Parental Guidance is adviced. LOL.

If Andre Jazur, the ever fantasiiiziing homosexual, (nothing wrong about that) would have an alter RNPC rival, I think it should be a gay girl, someone who looks like Idge Imbrulia or Lorch Furuholmen except with the girly face and all... :-O (Honestly I thought Idge was a guy. She actually did a good job making me think she was just a 'pretty boy' and all! >_<)

And so...

*Tadah!*

VS.

Caption:

'Andrea': "Yeah so what if i'm an edited version of Idge and Item Mall NPC? :p"

Andre: "Hmpf!~ You cannot zimply make a nem for yur zelf! You are not as magnifezeeeeent as Andre Jazur!"

=))

Since Andre is equiped with a rapier, the rival version would be another melee using pistols, rifles or most preferably, 'big guns'. (CANONS) :p But wouldn't it seem like having another Lorch in the party... hmmm~ The idea here is making the NPC boyish anyway...

As for the services... (here we go!) What do you think if Granado Espada had it's own barber shop---like?! >_< 'Andrea' the boyish NPC would have hair styles and hair color change services. Talk about having a Salon somewhere in the City of Auch! But if that's her services, then i might as well said she fights using a big scissor and changes the enemy into fluffy and kawaii monsters then you'd say "i-can't-kill-it-it's-so-cuteee!" *ROTFL* But hey, despite that, i don't think Andre would simply be out of business just like that! Who knows... she bring may bring out the "MACHO GUY" in Andre and end up being together. woot!~^o^

[~If i get a lot of DECENT ideas out of your suggestions, I might make another RNPC suggestion so share your thoughts now! :)]

When Worlds Collide (The Lost Princess Story) Part I

2007-08-27T07:17:00.001-07:00

When Worlds Collide
A Granado Espada Fanfiction

Part 1: How it all started...

In a small, abandoned hut deep within the forest of Ustiur, a diary was found by scholars who say it was owned by a person believed dead for 12 years… In the diary, it contains the person’s life’s tragedy, of overcoming the sadness, and the new found hope to survive…

12 years ago…

“Make way for the Queen and Princessess! Make way! Treat her Majesty! We cannot lose our Queen in this hazy crisis!”

With the sudden commotion, the townsmen of Vespanola are provoked at the sight of the royal family and its court as they enter the castle. They know they came all the way from Brestia of the New World to sign the Dos Mundos Treaty, hoping for the expansion of their state… but now that the Queen has fallen ill, their worst nightmare may have come to a conclusion. Brestia, led by Simon Ayande, has refused the alliance offered by their country and instead, declared war upon them.

And tragically, days later, the Royal Castle is now keeping from the world a secret that would devastate their country, and most likely lead to the Old World’s defeat. Her Highness, Queen Elizabeth has died from heart attack upon hearing Brestia’s declaration of war. In her long reign in her ancestor’s land, they have managed to live in peace and prosperity without spilling blood… But now with the people discovering new lands and hoping to gain it for their own, the Queen has breathed her last, leaving her two daughters, Princess Diazame and Princess Gabriella as the heir and leader to the Old World.

And so, the royal court critically deliberates at their preparations for the battle, and most importantly, the coronation of their new Queen. Between the twins Princess Diazame and Gabrielle. The late Queen would have chosen Diazame to heir the throne because she is known to be brave and intelligent, and has learned the ways of her country well. The royal court were confident that Diazame can be their new ruler, except for a little problem about her rash decision-making. It can’t be helped since she is still a kid at heart, but her responsibility is grave, and so they are willing to support their majesty. As for Gabriella, she was still devasted at the sudden loss of her mother, and so it was for certain, Diazame has realized she cannot show much melancholic emotion specially in their present situation.

As months passed, the people of Vespanola are alarmed at the news from other allied countries that they are being invaded by the Brestian Army. With no other choice, they dispatch their finest troops called the Red Navy to aid in the battle.

As the Vespanolan people become restless of the turning events, Queen Diazame wanted to assure them of victory.

Then she made a reckless move.

Her majesty has left with an army, hoping to stop the battle by discuss it over with Simon Ayande.

…Even if it meant handing herself over to the enemy.

(To be continued...)

Featured Family: Sigrid of Caracci Server (Suprised?! >_<")

2007-08-27T06:32:00.000-07:00

*LOL* I'm not that egocentric but since i just started my page, there's no one for me to feature yet but my own family of course! ^o^

I think it's just proper you know something about me... (Sigrid i may say!) I thought of this name a long time ago, and i thought it was just really suited for a game set in the 17th century... with all the classic impressiona and all... =D

I have 4 line-ups to be exact, but i'm concentrating on my first 3 characters, Arcania (fighter), Cyprus (Scout) and Althea (Elementalist). Level you say...? Hmmm... well, just guess it with the equips i'm wearing! :p (Actually, the next level of outfits is what I can wear now already ^^") thanks my to my bestfriend (and co-account owner) Kienz. ^^v

You'll often see Sigrid loitering aroung channel 3 of Caracci Server, loyal [~~and Muse~~] to my first and only faction Covenant, (formerly known as Escudo PH) lead by Kincaid. (Now recruiting! English-speaking players, level 55!) *LOL*

I've played ever since GE beta days and i'm really happy with this game, i just think people who use third-party programs (bots to be exact) don't get the clever and convenient game design.

Anyway, that's about all i can say right now... (no i'm not rich in-game. LOL) So if you want to get featured in my page, just e-mail me with a short description about you and a screenie too (preferably with a pose) And i'll see what i can do about it 'ayt?!

I haven't been able to play for 5 days now... I miss my playing sob. ~_~"

Oh well, *scribble scribble* ^^v

Updates on The Lost Princess!

2007-08-27T03:27:00.001-07:00

I made certain adjustments needed because I thought of a new skill thanks to Ultimate's 'Beast Master' idea. Final Granado Skills "Aiming shot" and "Scale shot" were moved to Aleda Etin, making it like this:

LVL 1] Lerente – Raises accuracy but lowers defense for a certain duration (5 levels, each lvl raises accuracy let’s say for 2% for the price of -1 def?)
[LVL 4] Repelling shot – Drives enemies back in a certain cell range (Distance is longer depending on skill level, 5 levels)
[LVL 8] Curse shot– Enemies hit within 5 range will have the chance of being blind, stunned, poisoned and sleep. (Success rate raises depending on skill level, 5 levels)
[LVL 12] Aiming Shot - Aims at an enemy's critical part. (5 levels, starts with 1700% damage)
[LVL 16] Scale Shot - Rain of arrows at a certain spot, damages up to 8 enemies. (5 levels, starts at 600% damage.)

As for the Final Granado Stance, it has a new skill, basically the Beast Master thingy i mentioned earlier. Archer/Hunter types are well-known to have friendly beasts that aid them in battle anyway. ^^,"

[LVL 4] Create Envicto Stone:
Lvl 4: 100 Otite Piece + Wolf's Soul Amber
Lvl 6: 120 Otite Piece + Joaquin Bear's Soul Amber
Lvl 10: 180 Otite Piece + Mana Stone + Fallen Champion's Soul Amber
[LVL 8] Envicto Olympia – Summon a monster to aid in battle.
(5 levels, each level raises attack power of summon) Cool down: 2 minutes. Consumes 1 Envicto Stone depending on the soul amber used.)

Lvl 6: Summon a translucent Wolf for 10 sec. (Consumes 1 Friendly beast Envicto Stone)
Lvl 12: Summon a translucent Joaquin Bear for 11 sec. (Consumes 1 Violent Beast Envicto Stone.)
Lvl 15: Summon a translucent Fallen Champion for 12 sec. (Consumes 1 Fallen Chapion's Envicto Stone)

Okay... I'm really not sure about the beasts (except for the all-original Fallen Champion) that could be summoned... ~_~" the wolf is okay, but a bear? *LOL!* Gimee some idea! There are no eagle enemies in GE so far! >_<

Anyway, right now i'm still busting my brains trying to work out the long version of the The Lost Princess, though I think i'll be changing the title... And by the way, I also changed the years the princess was supposedly lost, it's now only 12 years because she would be really old already... and i don't think if players knew that, they wouldn't be so attracted even though she's a sexy huntress... XD

...Spoiler?

I've thought of a new RNPC because our protagonists' journey. I have an idea about his skills, stance and story but I'm primarily sleeping and waking up, thinking of Alphonse and Diazame's fanfiction. (sleeeeppy~ -_-")

Clues: The new RNPC's job is an Anime title, a book written by my favorite author Paolo Coehlo, and the goal of this class has been known to be associated with King Maida's power. ^^v

And now for the story / quest =)

I know you’re probably wondering why I included the Fallen Champion as a very powerful summon. *LOL* It’s actually part of the interesting story of the mysterious RNPC…

On the Ship to ustiur, an NPC (named Messenger) can be talked to and asked if he’s okay.

Messenger: “Ugh... to say the least I am not, I have been from the old world to the new, trying to fulfill my mission for my client. But my last quest has wounded me and I am unable to finish my search. If you would be so kind to help me, I’d give you half the payment of my client.” (I’m thinking reward will also mean raising the family reputation)

(I’ll be using my Family as example for the conversation)

Sigrid Family: (Options will be:)

-I’m sorry, but I am on my own journey

-You seem to be persevere about that quest. Okay I’ll help.

If Family chooses “I’m sorry” option, the quest is cancelled.

If “You seem”, quest proceeds to next stage.

Messenger: “Oh thank you… what do you say your name is again?”

Sigrid Family Option: Say your Family name

Messenger: “Sigrid Family… I am in debt to you for this act of kindness. Well then, if you are going to help me, I have two more quest to do and that is to bring my client certain items he needs. The truth is I don’t know my client, personally that is… Oh! He asked me not to tell anyone about him… but since you’ve been kind enough, I will tell you more about him if you complete my request. I still need the rare 5 High quality wood and 5 Mana Stones which are drops from random monsters. Bring them back to me if you are done.”

If quest is done, go back to messenger

Messenger: “Oh my, Sigrid Family! You’ve done it! You are able to complete my search. Here’s 10,000 vis for your hard work.”

Receive payment.

Talk to Messenger again to proceed with quest.

Messenger: “Sigrid Family! You came at a right time! I have been doing some thinking and I cannot contain my curiosity anymore. I know I would seem to be a traitor to my mysterious client but I need you to go and search about his identity. Will you help me? I’ll reward you for your patience.”

Options:

-I’m sorry, this time I can’t.

-You’ve got me hooked into this. Okay I’ll help.

Messenger: “Oh thank you Sigrid Family! You are truly ready to lend a hand. Okay, I need you to take this coin to a scholar which I believe can be found at Cite de Reboldoeux. He can determine where this coin came from. It is very antique but costs a lot to the market today. This is the only way I can think of to discover the identity of my mystifying but affluent patron.”

The new quest then takes you to Cite de Reboldoeux. Find the scholar and talk to him.

Scholar: “What can I help you with now Sigrid Family?”

Option: Show coin and ask the maker of it”

Scholar: “…Sigrid Family! Where did you get this?”

Sigrid Family Option: “Someone asked me to show this to you so he would also know where it came from.”

Scholar: “This is… this is an archeological find! This coin is part of the new treasury for the previous short-lived Queen of Vespanola 12 years ago. Only a small sum of it was produced for Princess Diazame, twin of the crowned ruler, Princess Gabriella of the Old World. They don’t make these coins now because it only reminds them of the tragic loss they had about the princess and mainly the symbol of the coin stands for the lost ruler. If you want to know more about her, talk to Eusebio. He’s old enough to know the story.”

Now got to Eusebio.

Eusebio: “Did you say Princess Diazame?! …Nobody has asked me about her for a long time now… marvelous young woman. Her body may not be found for 12 years now, but her presence is still very well alive in the minds of the old world. Her future made her the crowned ruler of Vespanola after her mother's death. A pretty and intelligent girl, too bad most people agree she makes such rash decisions... Her destiny changed because of the choice she made. On a war she led to the new world, she met an injured Republican captain that turned to out to be Simon Ayande’s cousin, the ruler of the Republican. Princess Diazame thought she could make Captain Alphonse Ayande on their side. Taking him hostage and journeying back to the castle, they fall in love with each other. Blinded by love, they became neutralists just wanted to live a life of their own as hunters for treasure, far away from their political families. Diazame's sister, Princess Gabriella was the only heir to the throne and until now, she still rules among the Vespanolans. One day, as Diazame along with Alphonse and their troops were searching the territory of Prison de Joaquin Schivaliere, Alphonse was believed to be slain by the monsters and his soul was trapped to become the Fallen Champion. Crushed by the loss of her love, Princess Diazame seems to have died of depression but no one has found her body.”

Option: Quest message pops up, “Return to scholar”

Scholar: “Have you learned about Princess Diazame?”

Sigrid Option: “Yes, she has a fabulous but unfortunate story.”

Scholar: “She’s dead already yet I wonder where your patron got this coin. Whoever gave this to him may have found the treasure Princess Diazame got and is living well-off somewhere…”

Option: Quest message pops up, “Return to Messenger”

Once in the Ship, talk to the Messenger and relate the story.

Messenger: “I see… that may be a logical theory… that my client indeed has found the lost treasure of Princess Diazame… but the part where he lives ‘well-off’? I’m not so sure about that. My client lives in a small and simple hut deep within the forest of Ustiur. I don’t feel to well to hike in that place, so please finish this job for me. Here is the payment for you discreet research and taking these items to my client.”

You received 20,000 vis

A letter from Dr. Torche

In inventory quest, you still have the 5 High Quality Wood, 5 Mana Stone and Antique coin as remembrance of the quest.

You now go to Ustiur and find the location of the Mysterious Client. (GM just create it somewhere in the forest! :p)

In a hut… there’s an NPC hooded in black and all you can see is his eyes and his Bow.

5 cells away from him, a message pops up.

Hooded person: “Stop right there! I will kill you if you go any further!”

Options:

-Leave.

-Fight him.

Now if you choose to fight, you absolutely have no way of winning because the correct option you need to choose is to leave.

Once you choose it, your family will speak.

Sigrid Family: “I’m sorry to bother you but your messenger was injured during his task and has asked us to bring these items you have requested.”

You give him 5 Hard Wood, 5 Mana Stone, Letter from Dr. Torsche.

Hooded person: “So you really were just sent by my messenger. You are…?”

Say Family Name.

He reads the letter and becomes disturbed.

Hooded Person: “Sigrid Family… I have a favor to ask of you. It seems you are stronger than my messenger and I will give you a reward beyond your expectations. In exchanged for my allegiance, I need you to do a very hard and dangerous task.

…

You need to bring me the soul amber of the Fallen Champion found in the Prison de Joaquin, Schivaliere. After that, bring it to Dr. Torsche and ask him to make an Envicto Stone out of it. He will know it is I, Alphonse who has sent you.”

Option:

-Fight the Fallen Champion? Are you insane?! (If you choose this, hooded person answers “I see… I was a fool to think you can do this job. Now go on your way and don’t speak of what you see in this forest!”

-Now that’s a challenge. You better be worth it. (If you choose this, his answer will be “Excellent. It’s been a longtime since I’ve seen such high spirits. I’ve been in this forest for 17 years and I’ve secluded myself from the cruel and feeble world. And I’m willing to leave all this after you bring me what I need.”

The attainment of the soul amber will be automatic once you have killed the Fallen Champion. If under the circumstance where there are many Family who is killing it at the same time, you need to make the highest damage in order to attain the soul amber. (Only with the quest initiated shall you be able to get the soul amber.

Once you have accomplished this task, go to Dr. Torsche in his Mansion and ask that an ‘Envicto Stone’ be made of it.

Dr Torsche: “Welcome back Sigrid Family! So you want an Envicto Stone be made of this stone amber. Alphonse is really intriguing, asking me about how I made my Catherine come back to life. As you very well know, I can only make a likeness of her but not make her memories live again. Creating the stone it is an easy task since I’ve experimented on this before… but I will need 200 otite pieces to give energy to the stone. Do you know what an Envicto Stone does?”

Option: “No, what exactly does it do?”

Dr. Torsche: “So he hasn’t told you. The Envicto Stone is a powerful stone that allows you to summon the likeness of the soul you have captured. I believe that this soul amber was from the fallen champion? If you use this stone with the proper enchantment, for a moment you can summon the Fallen Champion and use it to your intention. I do not know that Alphonse, but I wish he is going to use the stone in its proper use. I am just captivated by the fact I can make other’s likeness like I did to my dear Catherine.”

After completing 200 otite pieces, go back to him and have the stone made.

After receiving the finished Envicto Stone from Dr. Torche, go back to Aphonse.

Alphonse: “Sigrid Family, you are back. Were you able to complete my request?”

You hand him the Envicto Stone.

Alphonse: “This… Sigrid… you’ve done it… you’ve just proven yourself worthy of allegiance and you’ve resurrected my melancholic spirit. With the trouble you went through, I believe it is right for me to tell you who I really am. My name is Diazame, daughter of Queen Esperanza, sister of the crowned ruler Princess Gabriella and lover of the departed Captain Alphonse Ayande. I have lived in this forest for 17 years, denying myself of the tragic events that happened in my life. But with this Envicto stone, I will be able to summon Alphonse in the image of the Fallen Champion, even for a moment I may at least see him and know that he is always with me. I will go with your journeys but will remain hidden in this cloak, so my family nor my supposed enemies know I still exist. I am happy with my life, free from the strict and obligated future. I learned to be more independent and became strong without the help of political families and of outcomes of wars. The only part of me dead is my heart who is longing for my love.”

Congratulations!
You have Received Princess Diazame’s Character Card.

~Extra note: An additional mission for Diazame’s outfit can be done at level 80. A recipe for her clothes can be made by Andre Janzur. (Yes! She’s not in her cloak! She’s disguised as a very sexy archer. *Drool*) I haven’t thought of any items needed for her clothes, but it’s suppose to be hard and rare items. It’s more fulfilling to have you princess archer out of her cloak right? =p
