Pretty in Pink

Parrots are almost as thickheaded as Mystics

Parrots can rarely be found in the Estuary and can be captured by Full Mystics and made their pet. It's not easy for them to be found because they attack anyone on sight and, try as I might to lose this one, kept finding its way back to us. I think someone ended up accidentally killing it when it wouldn't leave us alone and just got in the way.

Ooh la la!

Mephisto asked me to get him a pink shirt when I was in the Estuary and I must say he looks pretty darn cute.

I reached the first of many healer milestones when I attained 350 faustus, which makes me slightly faster than I used to be. It's no match for the real healer speed demons, but I'm out of newbie territory at least.

I was going to switch to training with Higgrus for 50 more lessons, when I decided to get to the 900-999 message with Respia which will give me a 2.57:1 respia to faustus ratio. It's a bit lower than the 3:1 ratio I'd like but I'll correct that in due time, and as long as I don't go under 2:1 ratio I'll be fine. I still haven't finished with Respia which surprises me as I thought I was a lot closer to 900 respia than I was.

When I'm done with Respia I plan on getting another 50 higgrus and then back to AnDeux Faure until 400 faustus and then another 50 higgrus. Maybe I'll be able to pass into 7th circle after this, since I've been healing her over 50% so far. Once I'm done with this I have no idea what to do so I'll probably end up with AnQuart Faure until I figure it out.

Back from a Break

Accomplished an easy goal, now to AnDeux Faure.

I came back after a brief time away since I wanted to go on vacation and was a little tired of the Rainforest and Estuary. They're lovely places but when you only go there they can get a little tedious and I just wanted a break from it all.

On the plus side my trip enabled me to get to the next stage of my radius healing development so now I'm on my long trek of learning with AnDeux Faure. The speed of my healing and spirit regeneration have been low for a long time and I have to focus on them. At one point I thought I could get all of the faustus training I needed through Sprite, but I need more than her teachings provide. It'll take a long time to go from the 300 faustus I have to the 400 faustus that's my goal since I'm not training with Faustus directly. I could and it would be a lot faster but then my Respia:Faustus ratio would be 2:1 and I'd probably would train with Respia after anyway. It will take a lot longer to get to my goal with AnDeux Faure but when I'm done I'll have 400 Faustus and 1,000 Respia which I think will make me a much better healer overall.

After I got back from the Estuary I decided to take the 6th-circle healer's test thinking that it was going to be another failure. After all I was told that most who passed were stronger than me, but I put on my Iron Breastplate and started the test. I had a feeling something was different when I only had a bear and a feral hitting me for the longest time instead of the three or four. I kept healing and healing and then she stood up. I passed!

How the heck did this happen?

I must not be dreaming.

There's not even a comfy couch to sit on.

Since I didn't expect to pass I don't have a visionstone or even pictures of the actual test, but I can tell you that I was healing her from the southeast and didn't move at all. The 400 higgrus combined with the full iron armor set and being in the right position were necessary for me to pass.

I tried the 7th-circle healer test and while I healed her more than halfway, much better than expected, I'll need more faustus and respia training in order to pass that test.
