Hello everyone, I'm Atheist, I've been around the forums for a while, although not really involved. . . & I want to change that, so today I'm starting a "new" project:
Lets start with some ancient history info. . .
A lil' more than 2 years ago, I made a knight, which used axe as the weapon of choise, tbh I chose it cause I had an obssecion with the almighty Earthborn Titan Armor, the second I did the char I had dreams and expectations like everyone, from which this particular item was my main goal.
After a year I found myself with a lvl 200 knight 100/100 with a fairly decent gear and pretty rich, but not rich enough to be able to pay for an ETA (which was 15kk in those days (2011)).
During this time, I got to see all my friends and aquintenses leave the game little by little, taking away my reasons to keep playing this game, although. . . I suddenly realized I had at least 2 mid-high to high lvl characters from each vocation, and that's when it hit me.
Rich and with a knight as main, there wasnt much I could do with all my money, but something crazy. . . and so I began my first project, killing 100 Lord of the Elements:

It was a long way though it, no doubt, botting 4 chars in 4 diff spheres, prepare their respective gems, enchant them myself, fill their depots with supplies so they would just come back, get them and be back at business, it was exhaustive, there was always someone to do, always a char that needed something, even tho~ they all botted pretty smoothly OFC there was the usual dead, disconnection, etc in which case my balance was completely disturbed and I had to work non stop to get it back running.

There was lots of deads ofc, friends that helped me (specially in this sphere) died repetedly, this mother$)(%$ is 50% strong to melee and combos as if he had no cooldown inbetween attacks (1400+), luckly I had a lvl 130 at my disposal which was barely enough to get through this hell.

But no sphere was harder than this one, we are talking about smug piece of shit mobs that 1 hit you if you get distracted; even playing manually. For my bad luck, all I had for this sphere was 2 low lvl sorcs (lvl 104 & 114), which ofc got killed countless times (dont even remember how many), but in the end I did it (FWI, 100 kill, no Lavos Armor for me).

It was a looong way but I did it, I had 100 items from each sphere and I had configured the bot in order to be able to solo LotE, I had made the calcs, prepared the bots and already had a system to run this as efficently and smoothly as I could.

I got the druid to heal the knight, stay away and shoot explos, the paly to help me trap it and shoot stars, and ofc the sorc for extra damage, needless to say, this were Neobot times and even tho~ it was 4 chars at the same time in a fight to the death it was fairly easy and fun!

And so I failed, this was it, 100 Lord of the Elements killed and this was the lousy result.

This was the result of my failure, I sold every last bit of what I got with so much effort (yeah botted, but still Overlords are a pain in the ass). Surprisingly, the spoils of war paid for more than 70% of what I wasted, tbh; this experience, more than expensive, was just extensive; in the end I pretty much ended up with what I invested.

Yes, it was a complete waste of time, it was futile and useless, I should have known better, to expect and ETA to drop in 100 kills was naive but I dont regret it, after all, how many people can actually say they solo'd 100 LotEs? (not many are THAT pathetic, lol).
