In a short span of time, like only 2 days or so, our tiny, brand-spanking-new Elite mode characters have now hit level 20 last night, just after the run to Temple Station.
This is pretty darn fast considering that we’ve only just finished killing Sydonai (end-game boss) on X’mas day, and we even spent 2 whole days running through nightmare mode until we’re sick of being creamed by level 45 mobs. So, we decided to try Elite mode out.
The funnier thing is, we’re trying classes we’ve no experience in. I’m trying out an engineer, a slight departure from the Summoner class that completed the game. My drinking buddy’s trying out a melee type char, a Blademaster. So far we’ve done slightly worse than our usual Summoner counterparts. I find that Engineers seem to be a gimped version of the summoner, but I guess being able to use powerful weapons like the Marksman balances it out.
Being able to reach level 20 relatively unscathed in Elite Mode actually surprises me. I had half expected us both to give up halfway and return to the Summoner char. However, looking at the way it’s going now I’m thinking we might possibly continue with these 2 chars till level 50, assuming we don’t get stopped by high level mobs again in Elite Nightmare mode.
This is probably the last entry for the year 2007 – HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!’
