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.

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.

100th post - Real life: Tsunami in Japan: A jaw-dropping catastrophe

Woah, I never thought this will be the 100th post on my blog until I checked the number of post I had made through my dashboard... *sweat drops*

Anyway, since this is really the 100th post, I'll devote that to the latest incident that shook (or in this case, drenched) the whole world to the core: the Tsunami that left Japan in ruins.



A while ago, I heard the news about the tsunami that swept the land of the rising sun in waves, submerging most of the country with water mixed with debris and other foreign stuff. But before that, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook the country hard, leaving most of the buildings and roads deteriorating from the impact. In case of the tsunami, roads became flooded and people and vehicles scrambled for safety. Airports and train stations had postponed their operations to avoid further damage and telephone lines were scrambled, making communication very difficult, although Internet connection was possible but only for a limited time.

But the tension didn't stop there. Twenty countries were given tsunami warnings with a possibility of them becoming affected. The list of countries under the warning include Indonesia, Russia, New Zeland, Hawaii, Australia and even the Philippines.

It was stated that the tsunami would probably hit the Philippines between 5-7 pm, specifically in areas on the eastern side of the country. But still, there may be a possibility that it will happen after the specified time.


During these times, having a calm and alert mind is a must, as it will help in deciding what to do to avoid casualties. Panicking is the worst thing to do, but still, many people couldn't help but to feel worried about their loved ones, especially those living in Japan.

As of now, relief help was given to the victims to provide comfort and to ensure survival. Prayers may also help to make sure they're safe.


Yep, as one of my former classmates said, one should not take the earthquake / fire drills for granted, as it may be helpful for the future.

That's all for now! Bye!

GC: Elesis revamp + Clockwork Knight redux + Purchase reward (again)

Oh boy, another string of updates to come after the server maintenance in Grand Chase PH:


Update no. 1: Elesis revamp


Well, it's been a long time since her ST was released, and now she's going to be upgraded (again) with new skills & action modes for her 2nd job: the Spearman.


Update no. 2: SB Gacha Clockwork Knight redux


For those who weren't able to complete a set for one of their characters to obtain the pet, no need to worry! You'll be given another chance to obtain the armor parts, weapons and accessories of this latest SB Gacha to get the grand prize:the Clockwork Knight pet card.


Update no. 3: Purchasing rewards


For those who prefer using Cash to buy equipment & other necessities, rejoice! There will be another purchasing rewards promo, wherein one must spend a certain amount of cash points to gain prizes, including the Pet Kumi card, plus, Kumi armor sets & weapons will be available for a limited time.


Check out the official news thread for more info.


I hope that after this, either Dio, Jin's ST or GC: Chaos will come out.


And that's a wrap! See ya! 

Real life: Saving the best for last + GC: Zero's 2nd job teaser

Well, I just finished watching K-ON!! episode 20 a while ago, and I still remembered the part after the school festival performance wherein Yui and the rest of the Light Music Club felt as if everything happened so fast in a blink of an eye. Then they started talking about their future plans, until they all got emotional and began to cry, because they just wished they wouldn't leave their beloved school. After all, they (except Azusa) were already seniors and were going to graduate soon, so the school festival would be their last event.

Believe me, the school festival performance was the best event for them, and they'll never ever forget about it.

There's a saying that goes "Save the best for last". It means that before a moment ends, there must be the most amazing events going on. Those events would serve as trademarks or highlights of that moment, ones which would always leave a mark in their lives before the curtain closes without any chance for an encore.

Yeah, very poignant, but still, one must cherish those moments like they are his or last moments.

After all, life's too short... :D

By the way, I just checked the Grandchase.info blog, and discovered that Zero's 2nd job will be coming out after a few weeks in kGC. Not much info yet about it, but this teaser pic may intrigue you (from the blog).

Well, Cow mentioned that Zero's 2nd job name is Craver, though there's a possibility that it may change once it's finally released.

My first thought when I saw the pic was "WTH? Zero looks good in that outfit!" But I noticed that Grandark still remained the same. The eye mask does look cool on him, though.

I hope that after that, Mari's 4th job and ST will go next (though I have to wait a little longer).

That's all for now! Arrivederci! ^^
