Your faction standing with Stone Hive Bixies could not possibly get any better.

[Aalderon Crystafire]

It just COULDN'T!

.... after 4 months of continuously being murdered, Mooto can finally RIP. Also... free Honey for life!

Thats pretty impressive lol

[Sorn]

During these four months, Aalderon...

...was repeatedly mistaken for an NPC by newbies
...was used as a safe haven by newbies when overwhelmed by mobs
...basically didn't move from that one spot in Misty the entire time unless I dragged him away
...killed Mooto over 2600 times
...told me not to put in his fashion faux pas in the portrait I made
...was somehow still killing Mooto weeks after I finished that portrait, despite the fact that it took me months to get everything right
...learned how to make muffins for the next factionquest

[Beckoning]

Awesome achievement and awesome drawing - we need more of these!

[Kaight]

Drawing is awesome, Sorn.

[Wilhelm]

Was that for a quest?

[korilla]

[Sage Truthbearer]

Luv it mayne.

[Metalopolis]

Big Aalerdon doin big things!!!!!

[azeth]

*tips fedora*

this made me laugh so so hard

[jolanar]

Be honest, how much of this time was you afk with the aoe song on?

Also, how are you not maxed with Rivervale merchants yet?

[Vexenu]

Server first? Hell, EQ first?

He wasn't, I checked on him periodically. ;)

Any purpose other than bragging rights?

I think he did it for fun. :p

[Muggens]

Splendid drawing! I really like your style Sorn, do you have a collection of these anywhere online?
How much would you want for a customized drawing?

Thanks! I draw portraits of friends' characters for fun sometimes. There's not really a collection anywhere, people just have them when I make them. I did my avatar and sig, and also Tupakk's sig.

I don't charge, but I also only draw as the mood strikes me :P

Yeah your avatar/sig is also very cool - the sig reminds me of old skool comics like Davy Crockett and Captain Miki.

I used to be an avid comicbook reader because of my love for drawings, but Ive reverted back to mostly reading non-fiction and the odd novel/ancient travellers tales, so its just fun n refreshing for me to be able to enjoy some original drawings not styling itself after the(to me atleast) generic world of Marvel n DC ☺

I know Id love a drawing of my character in your drawing style, just PM some day if youre in the mood and Id be happy to pay you for your work or trade you some of my old comics !

That's neat I do the same thing with music. I only create stuff when I feel inspired and it's hard to say when that will occur.

I like the fact you also added very familiar details of the game's artwork, such as the goblin that is hunched over after dying, with his butt crack showing.

You added a style of your own with that of the original artists, so that's really cool imo. You could do it professionally if you wanted, I am sure.

Hey, on a side note, why did you do this Bixie faction? :D

[Sorn]

Well, one day I want to be a children's book illustrator, but I have no idea how to go about that, so for now I'm just an unemployed starving artist.

Hey, on a side note, why did you do this Bixie faction? :D

I didn't do it! Aalderon did. He's trying to max every maxable faction in the game. (He also insisted on extra butt crack in the portrait.)

[daskullicious]

Dev should give you a title for that!

Aalerdon The Bixie

nice work!

You know there are some really easy ways nowadays that people can create their own books, I can't tell you the process but I know with the technology today it's fairly easy to produce your own book, and even make copies of it for sales. It's not cheap though, and it seems the best way to sell such books is on sites like Amazon, etc. I have a friend who wrote his first novel, got copies of it produced, and stuck it on amazon and after about a year, he finally has about broke even on the costs of it, and the costs to advertise it too. I just know he gets frustrated with bad reviews, because that's the problem with that kind of site, if you get bad reviews people do follow those and will not buy the product. that's where it helps to have family and friends leave lots of glowing reviews for your book.

[maskedmelon]

Can self publish with Amazon too. Even print on demand features. Not sure how well that works for picture books though. Maybe a place for you to start though ^^

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Be honest, how much of this time was you afk with the aoe song on?

Also, how are you not maxed with Rivervale merchants yet?

None. Actually going AFK while killing anything - even if you are making no experience - is against the rules of conduct for P99; I learned this when I was killing Frostbite to max Rogues of the White Rose for Halas.

I did use AoE song, and had GINA sound alerts set up to let me know if my song was interrupted by a bash, or if I received a tell so I could have other windows open on my computer while maintaining presence.

Also, how are you not maxed with Rivervale merchants yet?

Bixies started at the bottom of Dubious for me, while Merchants of Rivervale were max scowls from working up some of the Neriak guilds. Only Mooto gives +Merchants and +Bixies and only +1. . I'll take care of them later with Bandages for Honeybugger but I must finish the last few Neriak factions first.

Server first? Hell, EQ first?

I imagine EQ first. I knew someone who used Mooto to get out of KOS with Bixies back on live, but not max. I also suspect his faction hits were a bit larger during that time.

Of note to any monks who ever want to do The Treant Fists quests, in this same time I only ever killed 253 goblin alchemists. Mooto, a goblin alchemist, a goblin shaman and warrior are all PHs for one another - which is why this took so long.

Dev should give you a title for that!

If I had a title for every faction maxed it would look like floating EC spam above my head. xD

I checked on him periodically. ;)

Say hello next time ! :) Or just turn me into a Unicorn or something so I know you were there. <3

[SowIsLifeSowIsLove]

Awesome artwork.

[Brut]

Iunno, kinda worried that you robbed many young halflings of the beautiful classic experience of getting murdered by Mooto.

[Muggens]

Amazon take all your money basically, better to circumvent these mafia sites.

[Maori]

<3 Aalderon , really great guy. Helped me tradeskill for free, has a love for EQ like you wouldnt understand

[Zalus]

Congratulations Aalderon Mooto Slayer, glad you can finally get out of Misty.

I have to ask... What's the point?

[Jotei]

I have to ask... What's the point?

It is well known Bixie comb is some of the finest this side of Ocean of Tears. The monestary in which I spent the better part of my youth imported Bixie comb in quantity. As I girl, I remember visiting the Tang harbor to procure comb for the Monestary through Gnomish merchant vessels that frequented the Eastern Shore and the Pu'Tang Archipelago. The monestary kept three store houses full of silk, ivory and Pu'Tang kiola for barter. If I were a clever girl (and oh how I was^^) I could secure a chest and a half of comb in trade for the goods of one storehouse. Keep in mind that we've nothing comparable to Bixie comb in my homeland (just normal comb) and a single Bixie comb can fetch a merchant's daughter as dowry! A storehouse full of worm excrement and bone is a bargain in comparison ^^

[zanderklocke]

What factions are you max with it?

At one point I was attempting to max factions with a ton of different factions, but I gave up. I'd like to see your list.

Are these the druids at the rings? I have a lizard I've been working on, but have been having trouble finding something I could do to raise these three.

[indiscriminate_hater]

Next up: maxing ClanRunnyEye faction

[zanderklocke]

Once you max all your factions, you can throw a sweet house party where everyone that comes hates everyone else.

[Sorn]

You only need to raise Jaggedpine Treefolk for the druids at the rings, I think. Very easy, just kill a bajillion gnolls in Blackburrow :)

[jolanar]

There are actually quite a few different factions for the druid rings. I think Commons Citizens, Kithicor Residents, Karana Residents and Jaggedpine Treefolk covers them all though.

Curious to the OP, any plans to max Crushbone Orcs faction? What about ultra competing factions like the King and Queen of Neriak?

[Aalderon Crystafire]

Yes. Queen Cristanos Thex is already maxed. You must raise her before King Naythox Thex as you cannot raise Queen without lowering King, but you can raise King without lowering Queen.

[jolanar]

What about other competing factions? Like Bloodsabers and Qeynos. Freeport Sewers and Paladin guild. etc?

Surely you can't max them all?

You should write a guide for each faction for the wiki. Would definitely be an interesting read to see the level of effort.

I am writing a guide but it will be a while before it is finished -- feel free to tell me ingame if you have questions in the meantime. ...and yes I can max them all it just has to be done is a very specific order!

[Alanus]

What is the spawntime for Mooto, anyway? Does he have a ph?

[Aalderon Crystafire]

What is the spawntime for Mooto, anyway? Does he have a ph?

The spawn time is 7 minutes but he has 3 possible placeholders. A goblin shaman or goblin warrior ( these two more common) and a goblin alchemist (rare).

[polishanarchy]

Good to see that you're still at it. I remember running into you in FoB when you were maxing Cab faction!
