Blog Hiatus & Main Site Open

August 6th, 2010

As you are probably already aware, I’ve been neglecting this blog for quite some time now. Due to lack of time and the fall semester fast approaching, I’ve decided to put the SR Blog on an indefinite hiatus. I sincerely apologize for not doing so earlier, but I’m not totally gone!

I’ve recently completed the layout for my main site, EternalTale.net. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it, but I did upload my entire gallery of fanart received over the months for my OC/Game Character Kuma. If you’re interested, you can check it out here.

Additionally, if you haven’t heard yet, the LaTale GAs are conducting a LaTale Player Feedback Survey. All participants who answer every required question (and leave their main IGN) will receive a free golden dart of luck! Prize give-out dates are currently TBA. All information is kept strictly confidential. You can learn more about the survey and participate HERE.

I suppose that’s it for now ^^; I can still be contacted in-game, as well as all of the other contact methods listed here. If you’re a member of TinierMe, you should add me on my username Lucciola.

I’m long gone, but just wishing everybody a great time playing LaTale this summer! I miss you all and I hope everyone is doing fantastic! Please keep supporting ShiningRay and this site! It’s been a rough year for me, as my friend was shot and killed, and another diagnosed with leukemia, and so I leave with this:

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.”

So keep you’re buddies in and out of LaTale close. You’ll never know what’s gonna happen~ Ciao.

5th Skill Quest List

May 5th, 2010

May 18th – *ALL* SS5 Skill Scroll Quests are working now. OGPlanet is not doing SS5 Coin exchanges anymore.

May 7th – Have a question about this entry? Read the comments first to see if anyone else asked the same thing ^^;

Hurray, Hell’s Door has been officially announced! This means we’ll soon see the implementation of 5th skills, a major feature we’ve (mostly) all been waiting for. This also means I have an excuse to get off my lazy butt and post something (hopefully) useful. So, I’ll post the series of “quests” or “missions” you have to complete in order to obtain your 5th skill.

To go straight to the quest list, click here.

Some basic information you should know about 5th skills includes:

  • Must be Lv125 to learn
  • Costs 2 skill points per skill level (20 points total)
  • Can be increased every 5 levels (i.e., Lv10 5th skill = Lv170)
  • Has a 1-minute cooldown (the CC “error” is there to prevent people from CCing in order to “cheat” the cooldown time)

 Er, wow q_q; I apologize for not updating in a really really long time, but a lot of things happened (such as the GA system, Spring semester at college, etc) orz. I promise I’ll make a new “spring” layout soon, since it’s almost April and I think Choky needs to hibernate now >_>;

★Prime Pot Giveaway: WINNERS LIST!★

January 6th, 2010


  Hello everyone! As you know, the Prime Potion Giveaway ended last night at 11:59 PM PST. This morning, I have entered all participants’ comment numbers into the random number generator to decide the grand prize winners (prime pots and etc.) as well as the advanced pot winners! Since there were so many entries (90+ !), I had increased the number of Prime Potion winners from 3 to 5! Advanced Potion winners were also increased from 5 to 10! That means there are now a total number of 15 winners! And now, without further ado, here is the winners list:

PRIME POTION WINNERS:
(x1 prime potion, x1 advanced potion, and x3 peach cans!)

ShiningRayz
Sandor
Fllowe
Rarsama
BriGuy92

ADVANCED POTION WINNERS:

Aren
EyeOfTheOne
Anilisha
EdenWonder
Tungul
FrostFlare
Loiki
Manabi
CobaltDeath
Saked

IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE 15 PEOPLE ABOVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A MAIL FROM ME TO CONFIRM YOU STILL PLAY. This is because your prizes cannot be mailed (I honestly thought you could mail prime/advanced pots LOL), so I’ll need to know when I can meet up with you to trade. Please respond to me by mail in-game, PM(whisper), or by posting on this blog post with the times you are available to receive your prize. Hope this little giveaway at least made a few peoples’ gameplay fun; please check back occasionally or leave feedback on THIS post on whether you think another giveaway in the future would be fun ^^
