Thank you so much, bablih! ^^

I would like to thank my dA friend bablih for drawing this cute chibified version of myself.


Here's the link: the drawing

Go ahead and visit her blog. Her drawings there were so cute, not to mention her Flyff adventures are included there also... ^^

That's all. Good night! :D

Reason for Hiatus...

Well, sorry if I haven't published anything recently. It's because I'm not that interested in GC anymore like I used to. And also, I don't have that much time in using the Internet now, esp. now that I have to focus on real life.


But still, I'll be posting from time to time if I have the mood, but not now, because I have so much stuff in my head right now. Well, see ya on the flip-side.

GC: Chaos & Dio coming to PH + Darkbringer teaser video

Finally, the moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived... ^^

For all GC PH players out there, today's the day where two major updates have come to life: GC Chaos and Dio the Vader.

In GC Chaos, there will be a major makeover, like the new log-in screen and user interface, map level segregation, Bermesiah & Ellia dungeon revamps and the release of two new dungeons from Atum: Goblin Labor Camp and Underground Tunnel. There will be numerous events to celebrate the arrival of Chaos.

But what's better is the release of a new character, Dio.

Dio the Vader (Stygian in other servers)

In case you haven't heard of him yet, here's a slight teaser (from the official news thread):

Dio was born in darkness, living his days in a dimension where his savage demon brethren lived for the joy of conquest and war.

When numerous portals opened up that led to the gates of a long-suffering kingdom, the demons saw their chance to wreck havoc on the outside world. And so began a war between mankind and demons that lasted for many years. But while his demon brothers enjoyed the carnage of war, Dio saw only sadness, pain and suffering. He did not want to be a part of that legend.

And so, Dio turned his back on his demonic heritage and rebelled against the demons. He fought tooth and nail and blade, until the war was ended and the portals to his dimension were sealed forevermore.

But now, the magic sealing off the portals was weakening, and Dio will soon come face-to-face with his destiny. A destiny that begins in the ranks of the Grand Chase!

Well, since almost all GC players have heard of him already, well, I wouldn't bother giving the details. But if you want to get him during the event period, it's better. Purchase the Dio Cash Scroll and you'll get the Dio Premium Wing as an extra.

Complete the mission during the event, and you'll get Dio's signature claw, the Rake Hand.

If you have money to burn, purchase the Dio Midnight Package. It contains the cash mission scroll plus the Midnight Dark Lord armor set and Death Star (Dio's signature weapon).

If you want to download the client, here's the link (mirror links): [link]

By the way, if you're itching for more info about Ley and her 2nd job, the Darkbringer, here's the link to the teaser video (not mine): [link]


Better wait a little while longer, for April 28 will be its release date.


Anyway, that's all. Ta-ta! ^^

GC: Chaos coming to PH + Ley's 2nd job

Well, looks like the money - burning events in GC PH are going to pay off (I think)... ^^

Since the Chaos update is coming near, after the server maintenance, there will be a countdown timer to the start of this new major update. Plus, for those wanting to get their hands on Dio, a mission scroll based on him will be made available on your first log-in (as part of the pre-Dio event).


Plus, the major update is now available for download, so better start now to avoid the traffic.

Perhaps the reservation package for Dio may be available soon... ^^

Meanwhile, the Korean players will be introduced to Ley's 2nd job: the Darkbringer.

April 28 would be the possible release date for Darkbringer.


As for Mari's 4th job & ST, well sorry if they'll be delayed (again). The developers are still churning up on ideas, but the players are still enraged on the hiatus, thinking that it was due to the Darkbringer release that they decided to set aside the idea for Mari's next progress. For me, I wouldn't if I have to wait for a long time, as long as what would come would be worth the patience.


Anyway, I hope the Darkbringer will be as awesome as Zero's 2nd job... ^^


That's all, folks! Gotta hit the sack now!

GC: Save the world + SB Gacha Ariel redux

Damn, another string of money-burning events to come... ><

Anyway, there are two new events this coming Tuesday:

Event no. 1: Save the World!

The mechanics are a bit complicated, but to condense them, here it goes:


Plant trees all over the world and nurture them using water (dropped at random during dungeon runs) and fertilizer (dropped by boss monsters). Once the tree has grown, you can harvest the fruits to get the treasure chests, which contain random items, including the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 30, 14 days). 


If you use enough fertilizer, there's a chance that the normal tree will become a golden tree, which, when harvested, may contain gold tree treasure chests containing better items, including the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 50, 14 days). But be careful; the tree may die if you put too much fertilizer.

Once you complete on planting trees on one continent, you will receive the Continent Treasure Chests plus the Chaos Armor coupons (lvl 30, permament). 

Open the continent treasure chests, and there's a chance you'll get the grand prizes: 


- Chaos Armor Coupons (lvl 50, permanent)
- Ancient Guardian (lvl 30, Legend Grade)
- Pet Tomo Card

Good luck!


Event no. 2: SB Gacha Ariel redux


Well, this is the second time for me to witness this... ^^;

Gacha Beads will be dropped at random during dungeon runs and be awarded as victory rewards in PvP.

To open them, you must purchase Spell Books (GP for the Depleted Beads and Cash for the Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads). Thankfully, for those with no money, free Spell Books will be given at first log-in during the Gacha weekend.


When you open the beads, there's a chance you'll get the ff.:


Depleted: Elena's Set (7 days)
Normal: Wind Bringer armor sets, 1st job weapons and accessories (all permanent)
Ancient: Tornado Bringer armor sets, 2nd job weapons and accessories (all permanent)
Epic: Storm Bringer armor sets, 4th job weapons and accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Ariel Pet Card & Naiad Circlet.

Unfortunately, I don't have separate pictures of the set, but I do have a wallpaper featuring the set, just to satiate your curiosity (from the Level Up! Games website).

Anyway! Good luck if you want to complete the set... ^^


Yep, the Chaos update will be coming near alongside Dio's release... Can't wait! :D


That's all for now! Ciao! ^^

GC: Arme revamp + SB Gacha Wonderland redux

Oh boy, the cash burning events just keep on coming... ^^;

Coming up after the server maintenance this coming Tuesday are two new updates:


Update no. 1: Arme revamp

Elesis and Lire had their 2nd classes upgraded. Now it's Arme's turn.

Alchemist skills and combos had been tweaked to improve its performance. In place of "Big Bomb" and "Create Item" (both 3MP skills), Alchemist will have "Blockbuster Explosion" and "Booby Trap" respectively. As part of the celebration, aside from the emblem popping out at random during dungeon runs (one must have an Arme in a party to activate the buff), the Alchemist, Warlock and Battle Mage cash scrolls will have a discounted price for a limited time, and the Lucky Package will be made available as well.

Boom goes the bomb! *evil laugh*

Update no. 2: SB Gacha Wonderland redux


For those who weren't able to complete the set during its first release or new players who haven't heard of the old SB Gacha sets yet, here's your chance. 

Well, you know the drill: Gacha beads will be dropped at dungeon runs and awarded as PVP victory rewards at random.


To open them, you must purchase Spell Books. For the Depleted beads, they will bought using GP, but for Normal, Ancient and Epic beads, you have to fork out Cash.


When you open the beads, there's a chance that you'll get the ff.:

Depleted: Elena's Set (7 days)

Normal: Clover Gambler armor sets, 1st job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Ancient: Heart Gambler armor sets, 2nd job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Epic: Spade Gambler armor sets, 4th job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Chester Pet Card and Joker Gambler Mask.






Here are a few of the pictures of the set, in case you haven't heard of it:

Woah! What's the pigtails? Never mind...

Having good luck can make Jin very good - looking, seriously... ^^

Well, I hope there will be other important events after this, not just money - burning shenanigans... ^^;


That's all for now! Thanks for reading, bye! ^^

Real life: China's execution takes away 3 Filipino lives

Seroiusly, my mind was blown off when I heard about that news.

Three Filipinos were executed a while ago in China because of committing drug smuggling. The last thing I heard about it, the punishment was supposed to go on on a earlier date but was postponed due to some issues. Appeal letters were given by the Philippine government, but the Chinese still decided that the execution must go on as planned, because drug trafficking is a serious offense and the punishment must be given, whether one likes it or not.

During that time, families of the punished ones were in great turmoil, having to deal with the pain of losing a love one.  Seriously, I even saw a grandmother crying for hours, feeling so emotionally worn out. But still, I believe they had no choice but to accept the truth.


But while lethal injections were used for punishing criminals in China, here in the Philippines, punished crooks were instead given life sentence if found guilty, because we're in a Christian country and taking lives is really a no-no.


Truly, the issue of drugs just keeps on getting worse, with new products found to contain forbidden ingredients, illegal transporting, etc. Let the punishment serve you as a reminder to those who dare to try using illegal drugs, especially those with risk of endangering a person's life.


As for the souls taken away, may they rest in peace.


For more info about that news, you can check out the ff.:

Philippine Daily Inquirer (for Filipinos reading this)


And that's it. See you later, readers... ^^

GC: Lire revamp + SB Gacha Francois redux

Well, it's been a while since Elesis got her own revamp for her 2nd job (Spearman). Now, it's Lire's turn to take her 2nd job to the next level.

The next patch will involve the Crossbowman revamp, with enhanced skills and abilities as compared to the previous version. Events will take place to celebrate its arrival, such as the buff emblem which (when a Lire was included in the party) gives +10 Atk/Def/Vit at random. Also, the price Crossbowman Cash mission scroll will have a discount, and LE Lucky Package will be available for purchase for a limited time.


Not only that, there will be another SB Gacha event, this time involving the return of an old favorite: the SB Gacha Francois.


Gacha beads will be dropped by monsters and given as victory rewards in PVP at random. To open them, you must purchase Spell Books. For the Depleted Beads, it will be bought for GP, but for the Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads, you must cough out Cash.

When you open Depleted, Normal, Ancient and Epic Beads, there's a chance you'll get the ff.:

Depleted:  Elena's Set (7 days) 
Normal: Victorian Count armor sets, 1st job weapons & accessories (all permanent) 
Ancient: Victorian Marquis armor sets, 2nd job weapons & accessories (all permanent) 
Epic: Victorian Duke armor sets, 4th job weapons & accessories (all permanent)

Complete a set for one character, and you'll get the grand prizes: the Francois Pet Card and Legendary Naiad Shield.


Here are some pictures of the set in case you're curious:

Sieghart does look handsome in that outfit, doesn't he? ^^

I have to admit, Mari does look pretty in that dress

Well, I've only seen 3 SB Gacha events so far (Ariel, Selion & Clockwork Knight), so I was surprised to see an old SB Gacha set like that coming back for a redux after its first appearance a long time ago.


Visit the official news thread for more info.


Well, that's all, folks! Be prepared to burn some real money for these treats! Sayonara!

GC: Zero's 2nd job released to Korean servers

I'm sure NAGC players finally got a treat on Zero by the time I posted this.

Remember the post about Zero's 2nd job? (Look up here if you haven't) Well, today, the Craver was finally released for all Korean Grand Chase players to try out.

Craver loading screen in kGC

Teaser video (not mine):



Skill test video (also not mine):



I had watched the video before, and I admit, Zero indeed looks bad-ass in that outfit. As for skills, my most favorites so far are Reflector (long-range attackers will receive the damage intended for Zero during its duration, like Lire for example) and Amid (Zero's eye glows a bright green as he was surrounded in a dark aura).


I'm glad that his attack skills had improved a bit on his 2nd job. I hope it will be polished on his last 2 jobs... ^^


Can't wait for Dio to come in GC PH! :D


That's all for now! Ciao!

EDIT: Added the skill test video in case you want to look at a better picture of his skills... ^^

Real life: Japan in danger of radiation leakage

Damn, the catastrophe in Japan just kept on going, as if the earthquake and tsunami weren't dangerous enough.

Two nuclear power plants were currently in haywire not long after the tsunami that submerged most of the country. The cooling system was badly damaged due to the earthquake that rumbled two days ago, leaving the core in danger of overheating and on a verge of meltdown. The US sent a coolant in order to alleviate the threat.

But unfortunately, the worst had already occurred.


The Fukushima no. 1 power plant had already exploded.



By now, radiation would slowly contaminate the country and people would suffer greatly from its effects.

The recent explosion and the radiation aftermath was one of the worst to ever happen in history ever since the Chernobyll explosion in Russia and the Hiroshima / Nagasaki bomb threat in Japan during WWII. Countless lives were claimed and many people got contaminated by radiation. You wouldn't want to picture yourself in those situations, would you?


I know help is still greatly needed for victims to recover from the catastrophe. As for me, all I can do is pray for them.


And so I close the talk. I hope this will serve as a change to make a change for the better.
