i was playing holic for the past couple days cause of the eagle taming event. you get a pet eagle and by the twelfth you have to level it to 30 to keep it but have it's level reset to 1 or 35 to keep it's level and have it upgraded to a solar eagle. the event started about 30 days ago and for most people playing at the time it was easy to get their birds to lvl 35+. unfortunately i had college.

last friday when i got home for break my character was around lvl 26 and my bird was around 22. holic's grind may be about as bad as fiesta's but with more quests that give a lot more xp. unfortunately only 2 quests give pet xp and it's hard to find the drops for them and because of the event the prices continued to rise.

on monday i was lvl 31 and my pet was lvl 28/9. getting it to lvl 30 would be easy but nooooo i couldn't settle for keeping it and haveing it's level reset <_<. i just had to get it to 35. problem is i wasn't 35 yet and pets only get xp when they're a lower level than you. but i was determined to get what i wanted. they told me it was impossible. they said i'd need to use the cs of all things to do it. i had to prove them wrong. but i was not alone in my fight. there was another, not much farther along than me. then there were even more people, people in weird enough timezones that they were up with me most of the night. though not aussie timezones, not quite that weird :3.

i grinded all that night into tuesday at 11am. with the help of quests i managed to get myself to 33 and 80% and my pet to 32. i decided to sleep for 3 hours. i set my alarm and layed down. not too much later my alarm went off but without thinking i clicked dismiss on all three (using my phone) and fell back asleep. i woke up 3 hours later. it was now 5pm, i had slept for 6 hours D:.

i knew i had to grind but these were the hardest levels of all. at 33 it was already down to 20% per hour and pets level at the same rate as you so even after i get it to 33 i had another 5 hours of that + however many hours 34 would take.

the next few hours were a blur. i had grinding tunnel vision. at times i was grinding so hard i ended up dieing because i forgot to rebuff and didn't see my hp. but i couldn't give up, i couldn't let the non believers be right. i had to do it.

finally my pet was lvl 34 but i wanted that next level and didn't even have take time to look at my watch. i immediately took off for the next good place to level. there i partied with some of the people i had been talking to in party search. the xp bar moved so slow. i had to fight it, time, and sleep. i had to win. the worst part was that it this, the hardest level of all people were selling the items i needed for the pet xp quest at such high prices i couldn't bring myself to buy them. even when i only needed one more i wouldn't buy it, they were being sold for 5 times the normal price. this level had to be 100% grind.

i ran from mushroom to mushroom for so many hours. came so close to dieing so many times but finally i did it. i slaughtered countless snakes, beetlus, wolves, and shrooms along the way but i did it. i proved them wrong.at 7am est i got my bird to 35.

and now i'm so tired that i typo'd 35 *collapses*
