First hand experience as a Creature Handler

Woohoo, finally, I'm a Creature Handler! Now, I'm gonna go out and get myself a few pets, lets see: Kimo, Rancor and maybe a Kilink =)


Well, can't tame Kimo and Rancor yet, how about a Dwarf Nuna? "Everything has a beginning..." I think this is a boy nuna... err, actually I'm not sure...


Moisture thieving apparently is pretty big on Tartooin, since moisture is so expensive there, I run into so may of them.


Tried really hard to get a Squill, Cu Pa, Bantha and Dewback, but I just couldn't tame them.... so the most prized pet for my first day is a Zucca Boar(level 10), well, I hope it will grow up fast and help me hunt.

A Master Doctor's last day

Got surrounded in the Crystal Cave. I was killed because of the armor sensor malfunction, no matter how hard they hit me, I never lost any health and also when I used special attacks on them none of my HAM pools suffered.... even upon my death the sensor data still shown that I was at full heathth! If it was working properly, I would have made a run for the exit and hopped on my swoop. Dame the bug!


My very last buff, and my very last day as a Master Doctor, I'll be missing the days when I can buff myself whenever I wanted, but I must be strong and move on...


Tried to migrate my Doctor skills to Combat Medic, but it didn't work out as I guessed, I only ended up with 4-5 Combat Medic skills after unlearned all the Doctor skills - note that I unlearned and learned each skill seperately as I aware that there's an experience cap. Something's not quite right.... So I'm going to move on to Creature Handling, and I had to relearn some of the Scout skills, at least it's not too hard the second time round...

Enahs' day off

Too much excitment last night, I need some relaxation, so I took off to Theed, Naboo. Last time I was there, I I really loved the view of the water falls from the palace, so I visited it again. Aren't they beautiful?


While looking around in the palace, I met this librarian. We played a game of trivia, and I answered all her questions =) We both had a good time, and some of the question are quite obscure and fun.

Weather report - live from Dantooine

The weather changes alot on Dantooine, one minute it's all clear sky and sunny.


Another minute it will get dark and cloudy...


When it rains, it pours.... It's good idea bring some change clothing for different weathers and rain.

Rude Awakening

The previous night, I got too drunk from drainking too Vassarian brandy, as a result I passed out completely as I reached the Dantooine MO just outside the clone facility. That's why I didn't blog yesterday.

I was having a nice dream of rescuing a beautiful princess on my newly waxed swoopbike and wearing my shinny 80% kenetic resistent composit armor. I slayed the krayt dragon and held the princess in my arms, and leaning forward trying to kiss her.... suddenlly, there were loud noises all around me... and I woke up... my princess dispeared and I almost kissed an angry wookie. Errr! But, the noise is there, awww, another Dark Jedi Master, the noises are explosions, gun fires, rancor howlings....This Dark Jedi's going to pay for ruining my dream for sure. So he did! This is an image captured by the MO security scanner, I'm somewhere there swinging my good 'ol vibro knuckler at the Dark Jedi.

Good hunting...

Buffing in MO of Dantooine, so I can get rid of thebuff packs quickly and move onto CM full steam ahead...most people here are nice. Later Chiv showed up, I want to go hunt with him and ready to close buffing line. However, when people come and want to get a buff, I'd still buff they. Although I didn't enjoy buffing that much, but I like to help people out. Managing buffing is not quite an easy task as it seems, not only I have to keep buffing people; but also I had to buff then in the right order. That's why doctors want get paid through bank, so they can keep track who should be buffed first. But some people just ignore that and use regular payment, it made my work a lil harder. Besides all these, I had to make sure my mind pool isn't drained, and keep Vassarian Brandy and Ahrisa handy; and try buff people as quick as I can, try remember what buffs have been applied...And when buff packs are low, need to tell people line is about to close. See, I'm not kidding.


I got surrounded by the mobs, I basically am the meat shield for Chiv. If wasn't for the armor, I wouldn't last long as all. BTW, I'm now qualified for Pistol 3, it's alot faster now with Chiv fire power, and my Scout Blaster can do 200+ damage sometimes - way better than the pea shooter CDEF pistol(even though it was a VERY nice CDEF pistol, it's damage is twice as high as the regular ones, and only 1.5 deplay) I used last night. Can't wait to see the Blaster Pistol I bought yesterday, but probablly can't use it until I'm a Pistoleer.

Picking up Marksman

Finally made my move of changing profession, I'm gonna to try out Combat Medic just for fun, the prerequisit for CM is Ranged Support 4, and Master Medic. I already have Master Medic Medic, the only thing I need is Ranged Support. Getting Ranged Support 4 is very easy for me actually, since I already maxed out my Combat Experience, and the Ranged Support requires... guess what? Comabt Experience. So, basically, just talked to the trainer, and I'm all set. Afterwards, went out to do some hunting for fun. Man, it was so hard, it took me 40 min or so to kill this Voritor Hunter with only the Pistol skills, it was as bad as the Janta Stoneshaper.... However, still haven't changed to CM just yet, need to use up my buff packs.


My Marksman stats, I had to drop some TKA skills to learn the Marksman skills, but it'll be piece of cake to get back my TKM as I still have tons of Combact Experiences.

Some thoughts on professions

Had a run in with this Dark Adept, not as hard to kill as the Force Crystal Hunter or the Janta Stoneshaper/Elder, or Nightsister Elder, but still a tough opponent...

He was immune to my blind, dizzy, stunt and knockdown attack. This get me thinking what other skills I should get to compliment my TKM. Doctor is good, I can buff whenever I like, but it's usefulness stopped there, since I can use my TKA meditation skill to heal myself, probablly even faster than doctor's healing. I've considered Creature Handler and Commando earlier, now I have another option - Combat Medic.

I should be able to master Combat Medic pretty fast - since Doctor and Combat Medic skills require same type of experiences, I basically can swap a Doctor skill for a Combat Medic skill - in theory. However, to become a Combat Medic, I need ranged weapon skills. If I want to master Combat Medic, I'll have to unlearn some of my Teräs Käsi skills that I love so much, this is a tough decisions.

Anyway, I started teaching again, standing in front of the Mos Eisley startport and yelling "... teaching Unarmed 4000, TKA 4444 to TKM, Medic 4444 to Master Medic, Doctor 4444 to Master Doctor...", boy, I had fun or what, exciting night... I have only about 50 uses of buff packs left, once they are used I up, I'll move on to something else. Expecting to see me wearing Creature Handler, Commando or Combat Medic title soon... =)

Lightsaber!

Found the Empror's Retreat on Naboo in a remote mountain region.


The security was very tight, I couldn't go very far...


Discovered a starship crash site, legend has it that a loooog time ago, a ship was sent by the Jedi Council to the outer rim for a secret mission; on board the ship were many Jedi Knigths and their Padawans. However, the ship was reported missing soon after. Nobody knows what has become of the ship and the people on board. Could this be that ship? Could the Force Witches be the desdents of those Jedis and Padawans? And how did the ship crash? Was it a ship failure or sabotage?....


At the starport of Dantooine, this guy asked for my help to recover his lightsaber. Did he say "lightsaber"?! Sure, yeah!


Got it! Though broken, it's still a lightsaber nonetheless.

Crouching Bantha, Hidden Krayt

Hihei, a commoner at the Mining Outpost of Dantooine, asked for my help to find his sculptures from a Janta cave, I gladly accepted.


It was a VERY VERY tough fight, I thought the Force Crystal Hunter I fought previous night was a bad ass, but this guy - a Janta Rockshaper, is 4 times as bad or more! Why I said that? The Force Crystal Hunter took me maybe 5 minutes to kill, this guy took me more than 45 minutes, with the help of my battle droid! WOW! Look at his stats, 100% resist to kenetic damage, just like those Force Witch Elders on Yavin 4.


YAY! I cheer wildly! I fought them before, but last time I had to run from them - there's no way I can fight more than one at a time, I just jumped on my swoop and run like the Emperor is on my tail... There is no shame running away from battle, *ahem*, really. I searched the cave but didn't find anything. When I got back to the Mining Outpost and talked to Hihei, he completely forgot about our conversation, and asked me to help him with the same thing again, so I accepted again, and did everything all over again. And guess what? He still can't remember anything. Oh boy, and I thought the holo "50 First Dates" was a ficitional story...I'm definitely not gonna do "50 First missions".


Oops, somebody lead this Dark Jedi Master into the Mining Outpost... My buff was about to run out, as I activated my R2 medical droid, it dashed away maddly, *sigh*, wimpy lil R2, but I don't blame it. Who wouldn't run away at the sight of a Dark Jedi Master?! Only fools like me....I quickly buffed myself, and joined the fight. It was a short fight, as I got killed as usual... good decision R2... It was my first fight with a Dark Jedi Master, many foolish people like me got killed...


But wait! A simple miner called Ezeaghi Bigai bravely charged at the Dark Jedi Master, not only the miner fought viciously, but he's also having an upper hand! I CAN"T BELIEVE MY EYES! For a few times, the Dark Jedi Master turned and tried to run away, but was pinned down by the miner! WOW!

I don't think this is a simple miner, no way! Could he be a Jedi Master in disguise? Like in the popular holo "Crouching Bantha, Hidden Krayt"? I cheered for the miner again and again... Touched by the miner's display of valor, soon, many more people joined the fight and many fatalities ensured. But in the end, we killed the Dark Jedi Master! I tried to find the miner, but he's nowhere to be seen, and there's no corpse of him either, he's just... disappeared. I'll seek him out later, and may be he'll point me to the path of a Jedi.

Nothing is lost where the force dwells...

"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force."

After much meditation, contemplation and soul searching, I finally realized my problem and had a better understanding of the Jedi. The Jedi acts to preserve life, and to kill is wrong even though it's necessary sometimes... Even when killing brings greater good, and is justified, it still remains a stain in my spirit... I went to see Drakka again, and she accepted me back.


My final mission is to confront the darkside force user - a Force Crystal Hunter and a few Darkside Savages, it ended in a big fight and I narrowly survived.


Reporting back to Drakka, she gave me a Holocron! I bowed deeply to her and thanked her for saving me from the Darkside. I tried to activate the Holocron, but it reamins silent... My search for the Jedi path continues...


Luthik is none too pleased of me following the lightside path...

To be or not to be?

While visiting the Ruined Jedi Temple, I accidentially found this Jedi in a cave behind the waterfall, she asked for my help. Of cause, anything for the Jedi.


On my way to do Drakka Judarrl's mission, I found a dark Jedi. We had heated discussion, however, much of what he said made a lot of sense. Maybe I should learn and understand more about the darkside, so I can use it for the Rebellion...? Yes, for the Rebellion! Study darkside will make me much stronger, so we can defeat the Empire much sooner, many lives will be saved, it is a good trade off. So, study the dark side, it is.


Fueled with rage and deep hatred of the Empire, I quickly dispatched the wild animal he asked me to kill. I can feel the power within me, it's much more powerful than anything I've experienced before, it is... so awesome! I really can use it for the goodness of Rebellion. Yes, I'm all for it!


The Next mission he gave me is to kill a Rebel Jedi Padawan! But, if I kill him, I can learn the way of the darkside, and I can do much good with it, he will be a sacrifice worth taking... the Rebellion will remember him, and billions of innocent beings will be saved. "NOOOOOO!!! What have I become?! I've been seduced by the Darkside!" The Darkside is full of deception and treachery, he used my hatred of the Empire, tricked me and lead me down to the path of the Darkside, I should have known better...


"You treacherous and devious Sith, I will NOT follow the path of the Darkside!"


"I will kill you!"


Killing Luthik Uwyr will only drag me deeper down to the path of Darkside, "Help me Drakka, you are my only hope..." I burst into tears when she said she can no longer help me.

Explore Dantooine

A small pyramid I discovered not far from my house, and it's not listed in any of the travel guide.


A Dantari village in the wildness. Dantooine has four local tribes: Janta, Mokk, Kunga and Dantari, and they're at war with each other. Small hunting shacks are quite frequently spotted, but villages of this size are a rarity.


Inside a Kunga stronghold cave.


Run into a Rebel base, and I was glad to find out that I got a promotion for my selfless service to the Rebellion.

Thou who seek shalt find

Since I didn't find anything yesterday, I had to go back again today. I was pretty careful, managed to reach the finaly section of the cave. However, the Nightersister Elders are extremely tough - look at those status, 100% resistent to kenetic damage! As a Teräs Käsi Master, kenetic damage is all I can do. Guess I wouldn't be coming back here any sooner. This adventure was ended again in a clone facility...


As I said earlier, Dathomir is an extremely dangerous planet. This wild Rancor was sighted inside the outpost, it pays no attention to the people inside the outpost.


On my way back to the slave camp to attemp recover the document - I came across this small force witch village. These villages are pretty common on Dantooine, and they're not recorded in any guide book at all, so, tread lightly....


A big Nightsister encampment.


An Imperial prison, it's only second to the notorious kessel prison.


The Force Witch battle field.


A nice fight between the Nightsister and the Singing Mountain clans. When approaching the battle field, avoid getting too close to the Force Witches' clan buildings, they will attack regardless of your faction standing with them. I was chased away when I tried to get a closer look of their buildings next to the battle field despite my superb relationship with the Singing Mountain clan. Also, remember not to get too close to their fight when watching, I was knocked off my swoopbike several tmies for creeping close, my swoopbike also suffered some damage.


Found another Sallac, I thought the one on Tatooine was the only one...


The Singing Mountain clan's village - nice floating rock trick...

At the end, I did manage to find a document, however as it turns out, it's not the right document. So, I went back to Rogue the CorSec base on Corellia again,


The Nightsister's cult cave.


Document found in Rogue CorSec base, I'm pretty positive that this is the right document, but I'll find out soon enough...


Went back to my contact, he confirmed the document found IS the correct one. And he gave me this travel authorization =)
