Ardorjies (Mêlée) Hunting Blog

I've complete three more missions in a row: Ostelok, Navi and Beladoth.




Now I'm working on Stage 6 Hadraada and a bit of Monura Female till the thousanth (recorded) hunt. My plan, as yet, is as follows:
#999. Korwil, I've bought a set of 5D plates with cold protection. But I'm still not sure if I can solo them.
#1000. Yuka, it's save to say that I need a healer for this hunt.
#1001. Aakas-key, it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to solo an Aakas-key with a treasure chest at the end. But now that I know how to, I will do so and here's to hoping that I can get past the big boss Dehera.

Goals:
36. Collect Arkoins (29.3k of 50.0k).
41. Use all extra (L) Mêlée weapons (47 of 50).
46. Visit Arkadia Moon and spend 10.000 PED. (0 of 10.000).
49. Finish Korwil Stage 1. (33 of 75).
50. Max out Songkra Corrosive Dagger (48 of 65).

Done it! One thousand hunts - and beyond!
Before that I've done a good Hadraada run and two smaller Caraboks. I want to finish my Hadraada Stage 6 before moving over to Calypso, because I want (and need ...) their Evade reward.

Hunt #999 Korwil
Autch, they hurt. Agressive cats. I've died more times then I cared to remember and couldn't get back to at least one after I died. Too many of her friends were protecting her and I couldn't find a save landing.
Bespite all the dying, it was great fun and a good hunt in the end.



Hunt #1000 Yuka
At first I was planning to do this one with a healer, but couldn't find one quick enough and a socmate got me over to try them solo. So I did. And killed my first Yuka Young. ... and then I got killed by a Mature ... and sometimes a Young, or an Old would ninja on me. One time it was even a Yuka Provider who was angered by my presence.
And in the end I got absolutely nothing. Well, two plants, but those are worthless.
I couldn't even finish Stage 1. I want to come back after Hadraada Stage 6 with some better Evade and a healer this time for sure.


Hunt #1001 Aakas Key #6
I got in there with the help of Garci. At first it felt kinda strange, running a key without looting all the mobs, normally I run a key without a chest at the end. The end boss, a Dehera Furion L46 wasn't as bad as the Yuka either.

All the chests gave me a global, which is nice of course. But not enough for me to break even this time, yet it was fun to do and will do so again.


And after these three celebration hunts I've done three more Hadraada's. And one of them had a nice suprise for me in its belly.


Goals:
36. Collect Arkoins (32.0k of 50.0k).
41. Use all extra (L) Mêlée weapons (47 of 50).
46. Visit Arkadia Moon and spend 10.000 PED. (0 of 10.000).
49. Completed! Finish Korwil Stage 1. (75 of 75).
50. Max out Songkra Corrosive Dagger (49 of 65).
51. New! Finish Yuka Stage 1. (50 of 75). This reward isn't much, Weapons Handling, but it gives 1 HP/1600 at least. Yet the reward for Stage 2 is a lot better, imo: Anatomy. No HP this time, but it's good for Dmg prostandings, Paramedic and Looting pro's. (Maybe Weapons Handling isn't such a bad choose?)

Let's talk about the Codex and Calypso.
At the end of the summer, when the new mission style was announced, I said to myself to complete as many missions on Ark as I can. I think I'm now nearing the point where completing another mission is either costing me too much time, too much money, or both. The best progress, except Hadraada and Yuka, is Mutated Nusul at 69%.
I'm sure that I can do more on Caly right now. Really, I can't say out of the top of my head what missions I'm close to completing. It will be a suprise for me too what the next completed Caly mob & stage will be. Therefor I'll be taking a trip soon. And while I'm over there I'll start organizing the Mêlée all the Way! 2020 too!
