Granado Espada 2.9.1 *more updates from the previous post!*

Heh, I enjoyed the first few days of getting my pet. Today marks the 2nd day my Grabber a.k.a. Pilfurr joined my family as an unofficial family member. You don’t see the pet in the Barracks by the way, so all lovely daydreams of the cute fluffy thing gamboling around about your characters are gone~

The basic ability of a Grabber is, as its name goes, to help you collect stuff dropped on the floor. Ores, equipments and food items that heal you, nothing escapes this little thing’s paws. Except that when your Grabber doesn’t act fast enough and the item disappears.

keeping something in it's bag

Can you see Tres at the foreground? This little creature runs pretty fast on its own four paws to chase after your people when they’re moving or to get some loot dropped by the monsters. Lunging forward with it’s front 2 paws, it grabs the item and proceeds to keep it in the bag that it carries on its back. Then it either goes into standby mode (in which it starts to scratch its butt) or runs off to the next item on the floor.

The quest ends off at the third day of visiting the unhatched pet egg. Clicking on the egg in the instance will give you a short update and the egg cracks, revealing your new pet. After that, speak to the Pet Expert again and give it the Pet Box (a small golden box) found in your inventory, under Misc. You can now name your pet and enjoy its presence by summoning it through the Pet List. Cancel the summon to keep the pet (mysteriously, I dn’t know where the pets goes after that!) or feed the pet on the Pet Information page (Alt+P). Your pet starts out with 25% of activity and depletes by 1% with every hour passed after summoning it. Feed the pet to increase its activity perentage, which is to make it collect the loot faster I think. Pet food can be bought from Leticia the Premium Item Merchant or the Feso Item Merchant.

The mini map navigation has been tried and tested. Results: Only use this feature when you are very sure there is nothing to block your characters’ route to the destination. If not, consequences include your characters stopping halfway to there or running about in circles, making a fool of themselves. Hence, the old way to clicking on the terrain itself is still better. Even with XAI, the system can be dumb at sometimes.

Feso! It isn’t easy to get them. Nope… not at all… The stones are really uncommon and even hitting the monsters also don’t guarantee you any amount of Feso finding its way to your pocket.

On the other hand, I’ve found out something that probably is known by many people already. Irritated by that Imeem player covering Kai’s blog post on his blog? Use Mozilla Firefox. It gives you this nice little scrollbar at where the player is while not interfering with the text.

This is lame.
