Ryzom Blog

As it turns out the Kirosta is the last enemy I need to face on Ryzom’s training area before I go to the city. Well, the problem is that me and my team were easily defeated by it. I hated that we were too weak to take it out but with a bit of strength training I hope to bring the beast down and move out of the Ranger Camp by the end of the week!

Every member of my team has learned a heal spell. I think that may be my major flaw in becoming champion of Ryzom. If I had learned Heal 1 when I was first offered the spell I would be able to revive my fallen team members as well as heal myself more than just with the Self Heal magic. I think that nowit is instrumental in game play, especially as I am about to leave for the capitol city. I think that with a little magic training I can make heal 1 work fo me and then raise my defensive magic skills until I am at the healing level of my team mates. Well, that is all for now. Off to train my magic skills.

Well, I got tired of waiting for patience to work in my favor. I am what my friends on Ryzom call a tank. Instead of waiting around I gathered a team full of magic casters and melee attackers and we finally brought Reitzak down. Reitzak, as a reminder, is leader of the Chlorogoos. After her demise there was much rejoicing, leveling, and then yet another quest. We entered a dungeon and now we are trying to hunt a Dominant Kirosta–a variety of kitin–in order to save the Ranger Camp from the beasts awakened by the Chlorogoo.

I played Ryzom today and tried out the strategy I was supposed to employ. I thought I almost had her, and did not want to keep her from regenerating her health so I prematurely stepped out of the water. The problem is that I underestimated her strength. So now I have truly learned patience is a virtue.

I attacked the Chlorogoo leader with my mace today. Well, I failed and Ryzom was kept in peril. But I asked the users online whether or not they could provide me with any tips. I was reminded that the leader of the Chlorogoos cannot swim and I can use the water to my advantage. I will hopefully try out this theory tomorrow and see what I can do. Magic is apparently better than physical attacking as well because you can stay at a distance. Well, hopefully tomorrow is the day I defeat her.

I attempted to take out the Chlorogoos for good today. Ryzom has made this game incredibly challenging though. I am excited to go to the capitol, but it will be a long time coming unless I can manage to get stronger. This villainous Tryker female managed to defeat me in only two punches. That’s right…punches. She can defeat me using her fists. I was using a two handed flaming sword. I think that she may be exploiting a weakness that I am unaware of. Hopefully I can figure out a good way to defeat her.

Well everyone, I am pretty certain that my New Year’s resolution should be to defeat the Chlorogoos on Ryzom. I have been procrastinating because it is extremely difficult. I know that I can overcome though, if I put my mind to it. I think that the challenge is enough to make this a worthy resolution for the New Year.

I showed my friend Amanda Ryzom and she loved it! I set her up with own character, named Rini, so when she comes over she can play. If any of you ever run into a Tryker named Rini on the Arispotle server then say hi to her!

Aside from having an in-game communiy Ryzom’s website also hosts official forums about the game. There are several topics to chose from in the forums. General, for general talk about the game, The Saga, for news and events, The Ryzom Ring, for talking about Ryzom Ring scenarios, Feedback, for posing concerns, Newcomer Welcome Board, for the introduction of new members of the game, Bazaar, to make sales of Ryzom items out of game, and Guilds for finding a guild or bragging about the guild you are in. The forums are also offered in German and French.

Ryzom Ring is something I haven’t really talked about a whole lot yet. Admittedly, I have been too worried about getting out of the Rangers Camp to have fun on the Ring. The Ryzom Ring gives players the power to decide what kinds of scenarios they want to play in. I want to be strong enough to go there. Maybe I will try it after I defeat the Chlorogoos.
