Shoot the Sun Event
I haven't updated in forever, geez.
Well, I'm playing Mabi again. NA Ruairi server.
Right now there's an event I'm having fun with, the Shoot the Sun event.
Every hour on the hour a giant fire sprite field boss spawns and pretty much everyone who's around punches the crap out of it until it dies.
It's good for gaining proficiency on weapons since it doesn't get knocked back by any attacks. Set auto-attack on in the in-game options and watch as you just keep hitting it.
Oh yeah, the game and event announcement on the website says you can't hit it with melee attacks. That's a lie. You can, quite easily.
Anyone who hits it, even once, gets an item randomly chosen from its drop list. It's usually homestead farm seeds and moon cakes (a temporary buff item) but sometimes you get lucky and get an upgrade stone.
Other prizes include the stronger versions of the elemental cylinders,
a red/white physis lance,
Birnam Plate Armor (whose charge enhancement would be better if I actually had charge, eheh), and...
A hebona robe! I got lucky, huh? This thing seems to be going for crazy amounts of money, like more than my bank could hold.
Also!
There's a 'cheat' you can do to get double drops. Log on as your pet, hit the sprite, then log off and switch to a real character. Hit it with this character, and right before it dies, summon the pet that had hit it before. An item will drop for you and for your pet, and you can pick up both items.
You can kill it multiple times in an hour if you change channels and find another one still alive, too.
