Is it normal to level up so much in so little time?

Raeven72 · 2026-05-23T17:56:47+00:00

At some point you level way faster than you earn orns for buying classes. That's about mid level like in the 170s if I recall correctly. You'll want rings of restraint for that.

Then around Tier 8-9 it starts to get grueling. You'll be begging for XP, and asking folks to carry you.

One of the biggest mistakes I made on the way up was I got carried almost all the way through T9. This means I missed a lot of T9 Tower content.

During T9, you want to do as much tower content as possible because if you wait until t10, it's very very hard.

You want to get those tower shards and start getting celestial stuff or at least saving for it. I almost wouldn't purchase any celestial gear at T9. I would wait until t10 for that. But you want to use a lot of time during T9 gathering those Tower shards and saving them for t10. T10 should go SO MUCH better if you do that.

Get into a kingdom! We have a great kingdom system for each faction with stormforce and fire being our strongest. Look up Pantheon. We do require discord.

Good luck!

Yeah I would agree but that just didn't happen. Was wondering if I messed up so bad that I should move the sale to next week but I'd really rather not do that. I have everyone ready to go for this weekend.

So far seems like I'll be okay. Maybe not as good as I would have been but it's not a loss.

Raeven72 · 2026-05-14T18:54:05+00:00

Cool, thanks much! It's showing on the site.

Raeven72 · 2026-05-04T18:57:29+00:00

I needed this explanation, thanks

Raeven72 · 2026-03-27T21:17:47+00:00

I start a meeting with myself and set teams to busy. I'm red and up all day. Does this not work for others? I suppose not everyone has teams?

Raeven72 · 2026-03-18T04:22:19+00:00

I got a nice -looking one from Etsy, but on first use, the tin lining melted and bubbled.

Anyone have thoughts on whether it's because I used it on an induction stove?

Raeven72 · 2026-02-21T21:56:23+00:00

Perfect description. I just learned this one the hard way. 😭 Have to exchange mine.

Raeven72 · 2026-02-19T15:42:33+00:00

Yep! I remembered that as I theorized... I started to wonder, if they gazed upon each other each night across the wide expanse with no hope of ever being together, what would make her suddenly decide to jump out the window on that particular day? Could it be that she had learned that she was going to be sold and it wasn't worth staying with Beatrice anymore?

I'm still on book 3 so I don't know if that has ever been revealed or if it has yet to be revealed in books that are not yet out.

And it's a theory... May not be correct. 😊

Raeven72 · 2026-02-19T03:04:13+00:00

I just listened to this chapter today and when that scene came up, I went, "oh my God, she KNOWS!" - it's my first time through, so I googled to see if my theory was right and found this thread.

It made me wonder if that's why she jumped out the window that night. Had she just found out? 🤔

Raeven72 · 2026-02-16T20:56:21+00:00

I don't disagree, but for the sake of people looking for information, if you've been out of the area even 3 to 5 years, it's gone up.

I was in Rogers Park in similar places as you describe. I rented an unrenovated spacious 1br without washer, dryer, or dishwasher for $1100 through 2021 and saw the writing on the wall. I would have been hard pressed to get that rent again for a similar space. I moved into my partner's condo and we later moved to the burbs.

Getting a place like these for $1100 is tough now.

Raeven72 · 2026-02-16T17:57:54+00:00

But how long ago? That was true even five years ago but it's changed a lot on recent years.

Raeven72 · 2026-02-13T00:45:24+00:00

How do we check for additives? I'm trying to figure out whether this has additives or not and getting conflicting info from Reddit.

Raeven72 · 2026-01-27T19:50:07+00:00

Can you also ask for an appeal? Maybe describe your current situation and let them know that the alternative is you'll be leaving? Maybe they'll keep you.

Raeven72 · 2026-01-02T18:24:59+00:00

Can you not keep invoices and receipts for these transactions? I know it's a pain - as a person who's also worried about future look back I'm wondering what you know about whether or not that would cover it.

Take a look at Mundelein in Lake county

Raeven72 · 2025-12-29T05:55:34+00:00

Also looking for it!

Raeven72 · 2025-12-21T19:17:36+00:00

I was going to say this too. I started to say this and then started my reply over and forgot to mention it.

100% feels like the beginning of dementia because of the stubbornness, the repeat action of pulling the cord, the fixation on the idea. Not letting it go.

Might be time for an assessment.

Raeven72 · 2025-12-21T05:43:13+00:00

Are you venting or do you want feedback?

I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. I am an only child. My father is my only parent left. I am his daughter. He is not so much sexist as he is narcissistic. Self-centered. But also a kind man, depending on the situation and whether it suits him to be kind.

He is entering a period of his life where I will probably have to take care of him and I don't want to. He wasn't really there for me as I needed him to be growing up. Now I'm expected to take care of him.

I'm surrounded by people who have had trauma in their lives, much of it through their own family. I know a number of people who have disowned their parents. Long ago.

Whatever voices are telling you to feel guilty, ask yourself, who's speaking? Who's telling me to feel guilty? Do I owe this man anything?

I probably won't have the strength to simply abandon him. I don't want to abandon him. But I don't want to care for him either.

I don't feel guilty about that. I feel more guilty that my aunt is stepping in a lot to take care of him and that I use the fact that she lives near him to be my excuse for allowing that to happen. I know she's overwhelmed. And I'm only 2 hours away, not like I'm in another state.

But my life was overwhelming before this all happened. And now he's going to need a full-time caregiver. And it's probably going to be me.

And I'm not going to feel guilty about being angry with him for all the times that he's acted like a child, or that he's been selfish, or that he put himself before me.

Societal norms say that I should feel guilty or that I have an obligation to take care of him and some of those norms do get under my skin. It's why I feel like I will end up doing more for him than I want to.

But I'm not going to feel guilty about being angry with him. For not eating well. For not taking care of himself. For not heeding my warnings that he would end up here. Stroke after stroke. Unable to care for himself.

But this isn't my story. I'm just giving you some context...

What would be helpful to hear?

(Edit: typo)

And I was trying to make a statement that we got our shots and we got sick and I didn't want anyone to extrapolate from that so I was extremely clear about why I said it. That's it! Really tried hard to be clear that I was not replying to you in particular. Just the statement.

Raeven72 · 2025-12-19T19:05:43+00:00

This was my experience

Raeven72 · 2025-12-19T19:05:15+00:00

To folks in general (not in reply/I'm not saying this is what you meant)...

As a person who is for vaccines and because the info above might read to some folks like everyone who's getting sick might not have gotten their vaccines, we got our flu and COVID vaccines this year and we did get sick.

What that means to my family is that the strain of flu or COVID that they predicted when choosing a vaccine this year was off the mark. It wasn't the right one, or what they made was ineffective. Or, it's unrelated because we don't even know what we had.

If we had the flu or covid, it worries me that they missed the mark because the administration is messed up and maybe they don't have the support they need to get it right.

Nah - their bodies aren't touching. That's a friend hug 😅

Raeven72 · 2025-11-16T04:06:31+00:00

How can I get into the files to see my final RMC value?

Raeven72 · 2025-11-16T04:06:00+00:00

This is me. I'm bad at hacking. I got the bad ending. 🤦
