Despite giving a "hard" vote on this Monster, it was hard in a good way for my char. I am proud to say I beat the Aqua Dragon, which was a major ego boost considering I died in the round with the Old Hag. But she wasn't even the worst mob, that goes to the Vampire Lady mob. I was very very lucky to get away and escape that round when doing the Trials because those Flying Side Kicks were way too common yo. >_<

Item Trial, why oh why did you make us farm so many white mustache? I kept getting ks'd too when trying to fight Taos. I think the main problem that made this item trial so difficult was simply the sheer number of the same mobs we had to kill (Tao + Thana) which just made it hard to avoid some KSing. :s

And of course, thank you for the extra bonus trivia, and its the only reason I got the score of 94 that I did. XD

Last, but not least, I love you GM-Ciar, but please take what I've said above into consideration next Item Trial at ToH. ;3

[Summerstream]

I'm going to be honest and say that this ToH frustrated the hell out of me. Was not nice for my soul linker at all. Don't think I've been this frustrated with a ToH since the one I attempted to do on my Ninja. (Which was just a stupid idea.)

Monster trial: Passive first wave that seemed to mimic the Miming shennanigans a few ToH's ago, only without the freeze. The final wave I was able to run past, and wave 4 was the other one that I was able to go "Bye" to.
Being on a soul linker, I got screwed over waves 2/3 with stop and snap respectively. I honestly should have tried to kill these two waves, but I didn't really trust my cast time in the two minute time period on these waves, given the number of mobs.


Item trial: I was expecting Tao's, and I got taos. Two gathers actually. Needless to say, due to my lack of a multi-carded necro rod, my motivation getting shot from monster and seeing the item list, and for some reason trying to kill the Taos that I knew I would have trouble with in the first place. I honestly should have left any attempts to kill Tao's until the very end after I had gathered other items.

Agreeing with Aaronock here that the mobs we had to hunt should have been more spread out across the possibilities. Too many people hunting a large amount of the same mob.

Trivia: Fairly balanced, but my mind was blanking out of frustration and being unsure of spelling.

Regardless, I ended with 54 points. Not the lowest out of all attendees this ToH, but certainly not something I'm proud of, especially after last month.

Monster trial 1° statement: im glad i brought gtb, i used it 4 waves out of 5. If i didnt have it i prolly killed only the vampire ladies (but i brought many many potions)
Monster trial 2° statement: im glad there was no hiding monsters (i forgot my powerful satellite hairclip, my bad this is)
Monster trial 3° statement: connected to first statement, i think this MT (monster trial) was hard but the monsters werent much aggressive soooo... i guess was fine?

Item trial 1° statement: THIRTY. WHITE. MUSTACHES.
Item trial 2° statement: THIRTY WHITE MUSTACHES at 15% drop chance
Item trial 3° statement: the two easy items are standard, no easy no hard, just right as it has to be. But the mustaches really drained alot of time from making the special crafted items. At least for me.
in a bit more of 20 minutes, i gathered the p.gems, the armors, and half of the mustaches. Zero craft items. Maybe i had to focus on those special items instead of mustaches, if it was planned like a "time-trap" then it worked out really well.

[Menace651]

All the people that didn't bring Marc and failed the first wave. Huehue

30 white moustaches was just terrible. I stopped at 8 moustaches. Statically it would take 200 General Turtles to get 30 moustaches which is pretty difficult to do in the allotted time.

I was actually expecting a pretty close fight in mass battle but it looks like all the light people vanished towards the end.

[ChaosPrince]

why 10 trivia questions when we normally only have 5?

[GM-Ciar]

I added bonus questions due to the White Moustache issue in item trial. Thanks for the feedback, heroes!
