I have continued more or less slow exp making and also waiting for a chance to get instant reinc with relatively low reinc tax (1 .. 1.5%). At the moment I have been in the reinc 70 days, so only about 10 days more…

Getting killed by Shirley Temple

Probably one of my most humiliating moment of this reinc happened to me a couple of days ago when I was killed by Shirley Temple:

You are prepared to do the skill.
You manage to score five consecutive kicks against Shirley Temple's body, driving waves of force all through her!

Shirley Temple thumps you.
You wish your wounds would stop BLEEDING so much!

You die.

Shirley Temple is a 3k monster from Shinarae’s Drow tower. Although, she is accompanied by a couple of other monsters and they form a “3 man” monster party.

Usually, killing the party is easy, but this time I wasn’t paying attention to my hps, received a critical hit, and the result wasn’t that optimal from my point of view.

Updated exp graph

Here is my up-to-date exp graph. I adjusted the line widths and the colors a little as the graph is getting rather crowded and not so easy to read.

NOTE: 375M exp is the limit for getting 2 rebirths at once when rebirthing. I was happy that I successfully resisted the temptation to rebirth my primary character at 375M exp totals. The next critical point is 675M, which will take me quite long time to reach.

Exp parties this year

I was curious what kind of exp parties I have had this year. So, I made a script, which parses my party joinings, party leaders, and exp gains from the logs. The results are below.

I have partially censored the leader names from the list, although you might guess some of them. I included also parties lead by me (some of them might have been solo parties actually).

Note that the exp/min value means how much I personally gain experience per minute in the party. The common party rate shown by party status is much higher.
