I kinda like the rewards for this attendance check. Not only does it have loads of scroll which are very useful for upgrading your equipment and armor, you also get a Golden Hammer and a few Red Coins.

This attendance check will be taken once you completed the quest by hunting 30 Cool Summer Shaved Ice for Cassandra.

2. Sea Shells Attendance Event (Event Date: 23/7/2014, 0900hrs – 5/8/2014, 0859hrs (+8 GMT) )

Attendance Rewards:

Day 1:
• 10 x Power Elixir 

Day 3:
• 1 x Accessory order form exchange coupon 

Day 5:
• Order of chaos 60% 

Day 7:
• 1 x Lucky day scroll 

Day 9:
• 1 x Seal of the editional carving with the highest 

Day 11:
• 1 x High quality equipment enhancement scroll 

Day 13:
• 1 x Character slot expansion coupon 

Day 14:
• 1 × 2 star equipment enhancement scroll 

This is another attendance check after the previous 1.

One reward that you should surely get is the Character slot expansion coupon which would expand another slot in your account. What character you would make, you could always decide later after you get the slot.

The scrolls are quite good as well but I heard that the High quality equipment enhancement scroll actually destroys your equipment on failure making it so like the Advance equipment enhancement scroll. So make sure you read the description of the scroll before scrolling any tylent equipment. 

The seal would prove useful as well.

30 pieces of Five-color Clam Shell

3. Battle of Sheep Ranch (Event Duration: 2/7/2014, 0900hrs – 29/7/2014, 2359hrs (+8 GMT) )

Reward exchange:
• Collect enough points and you can exchange them for rewards!
• 3000 points : Wolf hat 
• 3000 points : Wolf Suit 
• 1000 points : Order form for wolf equipment only 

Medal:
• Win 20 times and you will get a medal, “Ruler of the Sheep Ranch” 
• Win 40 times and you will get a medal, “Whether it’s a wolf or a sheep” 

I'm not really keen on this event as I'm not really interested in the rewards. You could always get the Wolf hat and Suit + scrolls for your low lvled characters so that they could easily train but these items are only inter-account transaction for only once. Then the item becomes untradeable.

Movie : How to Train Your Dragon 2

Busy busy busy!

Hahahaha. Final exams are just around the corner. Lots to study and lots of things to do. Most of my time are spent on revising but I still do spend some time on other time besides studying. The way I study is kinda weird because I would love to just sit down and study for hours and hours but somehow if I do that, I'll most probably study while playing games on the other hand.

Anyways

How to Train Your Dragon 2!

Somehow, this is the best movie I have seen in the past few weeks. That I know will always be remembered. Even right now, I'm listening to the soundtrack. The soundtracks are way much better then the first part of the movie. The movie itself is also much better then the first part. So overall everything is better, You should go and watch it

 The movie was very nice so I hope most of you can spend a little time off to go see this movie. If you haven't seen the first part, It'll make things nicer if you would watch the first part first. The story doesn't really co-relate but the character does. On how certain things with other stuff

I mean. Look at that!

So much difference when Hiccup is grown up.

Mostly past this point if you haven't seen the first part, How to Train Your Dragon, you most probably won't get the references I'm saying.

I still remember clearly the entire movie. 

Hiccup's voice over is just the best.

The part where Gobber was escorting Hiccup back to his house and Hiccup was complaining that people don't see him just trying the very best to be one of them

"Excuse me barmaid, I'm afraid you have brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side! This here? This is a talking Fish bone!"

Still makes me laugh xD

Anyways

NOTE

PAST THIS POINT ARE SPOILERS FOR HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

The movie starts of as usual with the setting of Berk and Hiccup narrating just like the first part.

Instead of some introduction of the island with all the characters that we all know and love. He mostly talks about what they do with the dragons now etc etc. How the village has grown to adept and live with dragons peacefully

Then onwards to the story which is veeeery interesting. 

I don't really have much time so I'll just go straight to the point.
The part of the movie when Toothless actually glowed blue with a higher flame intensity to protect Hiccup raised a very curious question in my mind.
What if, the Night Fury was actually another Alpha species? That had thought to be extinct because of all the dominant battles?
We did see the Alpha species killing the other Alpha species. So what If, WHAT IF
In each and every battle on the Alpha species, the opposing dragon that is losing were actually KILLED.

Then you would say, wouldn't that make Toothless the targeted dragon for all other Alpha species? Like the beginning Big Dragon which I also think is an Alpha Species as all the dragon fear that big thing and even follow its order to attack Berk, the Viking Village to steal food for it to eat regardless they could be killed by the Vikings at that time?
And Toothless, who was still very young at that time with no parents whatsoever, was clueless as what to do, decides to just "go with the flow".
Notice how in the first part, because of how limited the species is, it never shows itself and never steals food.
IT'S SMALL AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PROTECT ITSELF?

But being a dragon, they all show most similar characteristics. That's how Hiccup grew closer to dragons, learning their habits, dislikes, Lifestyle.
Leading to the evolution of Vikings to accept dragons into their daily life.

It is also stated in the movie by Hiccup's mother, Valka. That Toothless is about Hiccup's age. That is why they get along very very well. Toothless was just about as young as Hiccup in the first movie. I guess? Because their of the same age?

So with Night Fury being the Alpha species and all, When he challenged the Alpha Ice Breathing Dragon, That was actually his FIRST TIME, So perhaps he didn't knew back in the days he was suppose to FINISSSH HIIMMM~~ Hahaha
Even the other dragons lowered their heads to him, Maybe he was just starting to get into all this alpha game?
The Will of Toothless is also strong as he managed to get control of himself as Hiccup approached him on the baby dragon. His will was strong enough to break free from the Alpha with the help of Hiccup. Something tells me all of this happened because Hiccup injured and found him ._.
If not he would still be somewhere doing what, just shooting blue fireballs off his mouth lol.

I haven't found the book yet as this movie is based of a book.
If i find it, I'm definitely gonna buy the whole trilogy at once XD
Yes, Trilogy, meaning the next movie would most probably be the last 1. Though I wonder when it'll be started and released? o-o

Guess thats it!
Maybe I'll try and find more interesting topics to post about if I have the time which i certainly don't have too much for the next upcoming weeks.

MapleStory Post "Miracle box"

Well, There's nothing much to say about this.

My updates are getting kinda delayed because I don't really post it after I do whatever I do.

I actually did this last week if I'm wrong

I stumbled upon the miracle box in the cash shop. After searching more information about it, I wanted to try and open a few.
Upon opening a Miracle box, you will receive various miracle cubes based on luck.

I would say this is the best way of finding cubes if your just cubing normal rank tier items such as epic or unique to get the stats you want for the time being. You could also use it on rare items though don't get your hopes up on increasing tier :x

Cause I got lots of x2 miracle cubes. So for the amount of cubes your getting for that amount of cash is actually quite worth. Additionally, there is a chance for you to get even better miracle cubes such as listed above. 

Luckily, I managed to get a Golden and Super cube.

Golden Miracle Cubes have better chance of increasing the rank tier of your items. So they say.

I decided to throw the whole lot of cubes onto my new emblem in hopes of getting better potential stats that could help me. Something better then Att +6 and Luk.
In hopes of increasing the tier to epic. Of course in doubts this would happen. Hahha

Well, wasn't quite the stats that I wanted but who could complain on the last miracle cube used. Ignore 15% monster defense is not bad. My range may have dropped but at least I'm doing more damage now.

After cubing, I found the Giant Operator balloon outside. After countless of 9 dmgs, and opening the boxes 1 by 1. I found the 9th Anniversary scroll for accessory and decided to throw on my DR2. Hooray!
All stat +5! :D

Perhaps my next cube would be more towards black cube and more bigger items :x
