Medivia Archer Lifethread (Lera level 1-200, Part 1)

This post serves as a record of images and notes over my gaming/playing journey in Medivia.

It is also useful as a Medivia Archer Guide for hunting places, showing the leveling guide of a sort, faction progress, mining skills, et cetera.

Tim ("Lil Timmeh") & Joris ("Raiven"), old friends from Tibia, convinced me to try Medivia out.

I've created Lera, an archer/ranger, on 22 January 2021.

I've rush through Novus, levels 1-8 in no time, quite "all in, if I die who cares" style. And I was indeed killed by a pack of wolves when I was level 4.

I consulted with Tim before choosing a vocation. He recommended either Druid or Ranger. I chose to be a scout/ranger.

Once I got to the main land, I arrived to the city of Eschen. I was given a decent equipment and about 20-30k from Tim to sponsor any adventure I'd like.

I finished the Trolls & the Swamp Trolls hunting tasks until level 13. Since then I tried to consistently take screen shots.

At this point I've taken the Hunting Task of killing Dwarves and the Elf Faction task of killing 1,000 Dwarf Guards.

I met Gasatika, a Swedish player who was super happy to help me explore the mines. He also tried to convince me that mining ores is super fun and cool =)

Level 31

Level 32

I've always liked bows & arrows more than using crossbows & bolts. Hence I was testing if I could use my flaming bow/hunting bow (+1 flawless) to kill Dwarf Guards. It proved quite a bit too risky for solo hunting.

A later, deeper dive into the medivia wiki information concerning a comparison between bows & arrows versus crossbows & bolts resulted in quite a definitive decision to use crossbows here on.

Level 33

Tim helped me out to speed up some leveling - lured and blocked some, supplied me with some great fireballs, heavy magic missiles, explosions, et cetera.

Level 34

Later on, Tim borrowed me his (fully attributed) ancient crossbow (best possible distance weapon in the entire game at that time).

Level 35

Got level 35 & now I could collect the Crusader helmet quest reward.

Crusader Helmet Quest

Finished the Dwarves hunting task. Next task I took was the Dwarf Soldiers hunting task (still combined with Dwarf Guards task of the Elf Faction).

Level 36

Gades borrowed me his blazing crossbow. It proved particularly useful since I was finally able to deal enough damage in order to hunt safely at this floor of the mine/cave, with most of it being filled with Dwarf Guards (and a few annoying, yet dangerous, Water Blobs).

Level 37

Because this hunting spot was perfect for proceeding with both of my tasks (dwarf soldiers & guards), I decided to learn how to hunt in the most effective manner in it. I analyzed the mine/cave/hunting spawn. The below, next, mini-map picture represents how I EXPed there.

First, I determined it was most effective to walk counter-clock-wise. It enabled me to walk faster given the tile design in the cave (SQM/tile speed differs depending on how much 'mud'/'dirt' is on it). This also worked well given angles I'd need to shoot bolts at the dwarf guards I encountered per round.

Second, I would avoid walking across the red lines (where there is no respawn/respawn of water blobs that are best avoided). I would only kill one water blob per round.

Third, I also decided where I'd leave a fake loot bag and my actual loot bag in case any disrespectful person would've entered my hunting ground while I was far away in another part of the cave.

Hunting Spot Analysis

Level 38

Level 39

I got level 40 right before Gades helped me out in completing Orc Fortress Quest. Unfortunately, I've apparently failed to save a picture when I collected the rewards (or when Gades found himself being punched by five Orc Warlords at the same time - which was quite painful for him haha).

Level 40

I forgot to take a picture of level 54. However, I was killed for the second time overall in the game by a group of hunters the moment I went down the ladder. I only managed to shoot 1 bolt at one of the hunters. Mostly bad luck/lack of attention, since I was not expecting all four to have a 2x-fast-hand shot at me which just made me die instantly. Downgraded to level 53.

2nd death, lv 54 to 53

After I was killed by hunters, I've decided my next hunting task will be Hunters. I have later discovered the hunting spot west of Garrogat's orcs - an outlaw fortress. A superb spot for rangers to finish hunters/bandits/wild warriors tasks. I recommend to trap in rooms the creatures you do not wish to spend ammunition on, and keep out the ones you do want to EXP/task on.

2nd Level 54. During outlaw Garrogat raid.

Level 57

I needed to do some Money Tasks in order to return Tim some money I borrowed from him in order to purchase a Crystalized crossbow with +2 Flawless.

I then resumed to focus more on EXP than making profit. I combined orc tasks (hunting tasks/minotaur faction).

Level 59

Level 60

Necromancer Quest with Gades. Rewards: Blue Robe, Skull Staff and Medusa Shield.

And I leveled up when we exited the cave =)

Level 72

Finished Orc Shamans & Orc Leaders task pretty much at the same time, and leveled up. That's it for Orcs for the soon time.

Level 73

I've decided to relax a bit with the Revenants hunting task (also killing some Necromancers in the respawn. Looted Boots of Haste while doing this task! That was fun!).

Level 74

Level 75

I've decided to start the Giant Spiders task after quite some debates =) I took the level shortly before server save.

Luckily I did not really play/made any progress after the server save/later that day, because there was a fire at the Strasbourg datacenter in which the EU servers' data is being saved and run from. So there was some one day roll-back.

Level 76

Saturday, 13 March 2021, was a tough & yet somewhat amusing day:

At 12:51, I got level 77.

Level 77 (#1)

However, 9 minutes later, precisely at 13:00, I encountered the boss, "Broodmother" (it respawns alongside 3 giant spiders) ... & I was killed.

This is my third death on Lera.

Broodmother death, downgraded from level 77 to 75

I was fast to react - but it just was not enough. I noticed it at the edge of my screen, turned away while hasting, and for a moment it seemed I was able to put distance between Broodmother and myself while healing to survive her strong poison shots and paralysis. However, even though for one moment it was outside of my screen by 1 SQM/tile, it then paralyzed me in just about every turn until it caught up to me.

I nearly had full mana at the start. I merely managed to put shield on and use 1-2 UH before I was killed (not including vitas).

Luckily, my guildmate, Putti, left his hunting spot very quickly and rushed to my aid in order to retrieve my loot. He killed it.

I resumed my hunt/giant spider task that same day, early evening. Re-took level 76, finished half the task by 19:00. That's it for Saturday. Beer time :)

Level 76 - #2

Although the death penalty is serious in this game, I did not care much about the EXP loss until I've heard there's going to be a Plaguebringers of Abukir Quest-Service on April 24th. This means I have to be level 100 by then (& complete two other quests) if I wish to join (and I certainly do... I want an ancient crossbow!).

This is not particularly easy given the fact I start working as a Research Analyst at a FinTech startup company named AcroCharge on 16 March.

The situation requires some power-gaming.

I thus spent Sunday finishing off the Giant Spider task.

Level 77 (2nd time)

Level 80 (900K Exp reward from Giant Spider task)

After that, I purchased off the lovely Anethia Silvershade a respectful amount of Great fireball runes. I intend to spend them in Dream Tomb -3, possibly later -4 floor. This should be the fastest possible EXP/H that I could do --- although it is terribly expensive.

Anethia was kind enough to show me the spot and how to run the round. It was enough to get level 81.

Level 81

Monday morning (March 15), I've been GFBing the tomb. EXP usually ranges between 320-360k/h, depending how much I chat with people/focus solely on hunting. I overall took 2.2 lvls (with about +40% once I turned in the Crypt Shamblers' task). Horribly expensive way to hunt. Not my style also because it's as if I'm a mage... but oh well.

Level 82

Level 83

And well, later that day I went on to hunt with Gades.

Level 84

March 16: two hours tomb-GFBing in the morning. Later that day some guild members did Dragon Maze Quest.

Level 85

Level 86

Dragon Maze Quest

March 17: EXPed since around 7:00-9:15, before the work day started.

Level 87

p.s. I call this level 87 picture "Make Haste, Make Haste, I have no time to waste" ... just continued rushing through the spawn as I saved this picture =)

Magic Level 16

Level 88

& here's some additional fun thing to add: Putti didn't sell lots and lots of items he looted for more than 100 levels. A long long time. He invited guild members to guess how much money the loot is worth, and whoever would be the closest, would get 3% of it.

Your's truly won (& even sent 5,000 per person that didn't win... magnanimous much, right?).

I approached this little competition with a mixed analysis & logic-questions perspective: I knew the total weigh of the loot bag. I knew the sort of items through the picture he posted. Hence I could also tell the weigh of each such item and the value once sold to NPC in store. I could also see on the website the sorts of tasks etc. that Putti did which kind of helps in terms of the rates of loot droppings of various monsters he killed. I then grouped some items which got relatively similar weigh and relatively similar gold value when sold. Thus I could calculate them all as a group and not in individuals, hoping also that any mistake in estimating the amount of one of them would not lead to too great a mistake/deviation from the total value since the under-evaluation of another item would compensate for it. I then took some assumptions about some of the item groups (i.e. around the % they compose of the total loot bag weigh). Out of the total weigh divisions, I've calculated the assessed total value of the loot bag. Finally, I noticed my assessment was between the guesses of Draxon (6 million) and Konstantin (3 million). I have therefore adjusted my guess in order to strategically position myself right between their guesses in order to maximize my chances of winning.

So, yeah, as noted by Putti in the picture, although I spent around one hour doing some homework there <ahem ahem, Gades complained about> it was all worth it ;)

Friday the 27th of March was quite a productive day. Three levels taken and done quest. Gades is on the Nether Spiders task too, so we've spent quite some hours there today.

Poisoned Bow Quest

Level 93

Level 94

Level 95

March 27th, the day began with winning a game of chess. Geenome offered 100 Medivia Coins to whoever would beat him in a game of chess. Quite a few tried before me. It was a good game. Hopefully we'll get a chance to play again in the future.

Chess Game vs. Geenome

Later that day, I did another hunt with Gades at Nether Spiders in Forgula. He's still on that task & it's great EXP/h for us both =) Took level 96.

Level 96

Sunday, March 28th, another hunt, another level. Also bought a demonbone armor after this hunt for 44k (which is cool since it's very light, better defensive armor, has poison resistance and for only 4,000 gold pieces more than the NPC price!).

Level 97

Small quest while showing Konstantin the Club Swinger the gold ore in Desolated Lands and where the Broodmother spawns.

Silk Armor Quest

Friday, April 2, was quite a day!

It started by going to the Forgula vampire cave. I needed a chill spot to kill some vampires while I'd be doing some other stuff. On the way from Arak to Forgula, I traveled by boat to Thoris. I've learned that there's a brothel there. I don't quite like the idea and truly think it's redundant/inappropriate, but it'd apparently become a useful piece of information later on that day.

Level 98

Later that day was Anethia Silvershade's (and the second hand man, Putti) Easter event. It included eggs hunt all over the game world (10 locations, reward for each such find was items in value of around 200k if not somewhat more), chess, tic tac toe, and what not over there. General party.

I was not planning to join the egg hunt but sue me, I enjoy solving riddles.

I joined late but solved the first riddle, simply didn't get the egg.

I've also realized early on that egg 7 was hidden in Thoris because of the brothel thing. But couldn't solve the second part of the riddle fast enough.

Yet at this point I thought about the other riddles, and it hit me: egg 5 was around Santa's island. I scanned the entire island until I've finally found what I was looking for, carefully hidden under a remote tree's branches. And so I've collected my first reward $_$

I then sought to solve the riddle of egg #2. It was pretty clear to me that it relates to the Elven magic-rainbow trees. I couldn't find proper data via wiki, so I checked through youtube videos the locations and settings of each of those trees. There were three options: the tree in Mejborn, the tree in the Nahari desert, and the tree in Maze of Lost Souls. I rushed to inspect the Mejborn one, knowing I barely have enough time because the chess tournament was about to begin. I got there but found nothing. So I logged off to login my rune maker, to sign up for the tournament. Meanwhile, Gades and I decided to work together, so he'd inspect the Nahari desert tree, and if not, the MoLS one. The egg was not to be found in the desert. As such, Gades, pretty upset by the idea he'd have to spend a lot of time in the vexing maze, headed to the final treeish option. I believe that once he discovered the egg there, he was no longer upset that he made the entire journey into the maze. That was the 2nd reward of the day.

2nd place, Chess tournament 4/2021

As for the chess tournament, it was pretty damn long and exhausting. A lot of players came and participated. No game was easy. But by around 1:30 A.M., I've reached the finals. Sadly, by that time, I was absolutely exhausted and tired. I blundered, and my foe, Bakugo Katsuki, surely knew how to take the advantage of every mistake I made. I resigned.

But hey, the second place prize was still pretty damn good! (*the 3x bps are 60 backpacks of ultimate healing runes. The blue square with golden 'S' is an unobtainable tapestry. The game's administrators made a few especially for the winners of this event. ... And frankly, I'm not into such rares / decorative items, so I've made a deal to sell to it for 1,100,000 gold pieces instead of keeping it).

2nd Chess tournament reward

The next day, Saturday, I did not do much besides: (1) I sent Anethia and Putti a present, a token of appreciation for all their hard work; and (2) I did one first hunt in Garrogat's dragon lair as I started the hunting task of 2,500 dragons.

Sunday, April 4, was about beer & dragons after work.

Level 99

April 7th, just some Abukir quest.

Next day, some fun stuff:

Gades needs help #1

& this is Gades some minutes later.

... What can I say - I solve problems for living.

Gades needs help #2

Messing around with Putti in the same Garrogat cave/lair. We also killed quite a few Warlocks, checking for their boss... but I did not take pictures there.

w/ Putti (15 Apr 2021)

April 16th, took level 104. Later, I went with Gades to check the helidor ore. But Smoke Dragonwake rushed past us while we were already inside the cave and mined the ore himself. Since he then went into Demon Hell, and I still haven't done Demon helmet quest, I figured I'd ask if he cleans it when he hunts so I could retrieve the reward. Vinterstorm was hunting there and was up for cleaning the quest room. So at least I did not leave the area empty handed.

Level 104

Demon Helmet Quest (16 Apr. 2021)

22nd April, 2021:

Level 105

I tagged along to the PoA service on April 24, 2021. Got level on the way, got the long awaited rewards as well :) It was all the more fun to do since Tim also finished the quest on his character =)

Anyways, only took a couple of screen shots during the quest.

May 15th, luck with timing of the Meteor Raid. Gades managed to mine in two pits. One on his own and the other I arrived to first & started dealing with until he got here.

Meteor Raid 15 May 2021

May 17th, I've got to do some power-gaming so I don't get out of EXP-share range of folks I hunt with, particularly Gades! I therefore went to hunt in Dream Tomb -4 (first time there, bad exp/h due to chatting while hunting...)

Level 127

June 13: Mining skill 65. Now I can eat a dish and get mining 70. So I can mine meteors when there's a raid.

Mining 65 (June 13)

June 14: Came to help a guildmate hold the respawn as he had to leave for a short time. I got level.

Level 128

June 18: There was a meteor raid. Abay~ beat me to it as I rushed to the Lucindel meteor spot, where it'd be relatively safe for me to fight the Fleshbiters. Hence I went to the Arak pit. I went down, there's some bug that did not enable me to shoot a magic wall over the smoke. I ended up with 3 Fleshbiters. Suboptimal but I should be able to make it if I do 1 round SD and 1 round UH time and time again. At least so I thought. Because I died by a combo about one second after I used a UH... Oh well! x)
I mined that Arak pit afterwards. Also, as I later went to buy blessings again, I saw nobody mined the Snowy Hills meteor pit. So I called Tim.

Death 18 June

June 19: Finished the Eye of the Shadow hunting task. Re-took level 128. Later that day, I went again with Gades to Frost Dragons. He finished his faction task. I got level 129 during our last round there. We usually have our EXP/H at 490-505/h, but it dropped as we just dragged our lootbag during the last round.

Level 128

Level 129

Finished the day with some exploration into the Mittenhoff volcano.

Exploration, Mittenhoff Volcano

20 June:

Archbishop Zorbar is a very strong boss. In fact, it can kill me in one hit even while using mana shield. There was a small team of *way higher lvls* that went to kill it, and they needed more shooters. So although it's really risky, I joined (hey, it's a game after all...)... and the potential rewards are awesome.

I was the lowest level around (130). There were a few 200-250. Most seemed to be 250+. Two were killed.

***Update: Nov. 2021: Wigfrid published a Youtube video for this boss fight.

***

Zorbar #1

Zorbar #2

Zorbar #3

Zorbar #4

Combination of knowledge, skill and luck - I survived.

It was quite funny to see how folks started cheering and congratulating me that I came, braved the challenge and succeeded. Kind of felt like I further made a name for myself, after the chess event etc., as a player to be known by others when also people like Rakshy & Wigfrid applaud you hahaha~

That noted, sadly, the reward wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I spent some 8 backpacks of SD and 11 backpacks of Mana Fluid. But hey at least I profitted.

Zorbar Reward

Still June 20: About 20-30 minutes after we finished with the boss, there was a meteor raid! perfect perfect timing! Gades went to one pit and mined it, I went to Lucindel to mine that meteor site. I even got there like 10 seconds before the Fleshbiters respawned! & after that, Gades and I went to mine the Arak pit :) Quite a successful Sunday evening!

Meteor Raid - June 20

21 June: Got back from work. Did a mining run and helped guildmates complete Demon Helmet Quest. Got magic level 19 on the way back.

Demon Helmet Quest - 21 June

24 June: Got mining skill 66 during my mining run.

Mining 66 - June 24

25 June: I took Dragon Lords hunting task (EXP reward). I went to hunt at the Desolated Lands lair with Gades. Very nice EXP/H there and we had decent loot. Most importantly, I got level 130.

Level 130

Later that day, I melted all of my ores and Zenek accepted a deal in which I sold him my Gold Bars for a certain price + I got to melt his own ores. That's how I got another mining skill so very fast. That's pretty cool since I'm getting to mining 70 rather fast. Then I could mine meteors without eating the mining skill dish!

Mining 67

Finally, the day ended with Akta helping me to get the Demon Helmet Quest key. He nearly had me killed when he forgot that by moving the spellbook from on top of the box then 4 demons respawn immediately. They all fire great fireballs right away. I had about 100-200 HP left. One demon was on me, three on him. The time it took me to kill one was the time it took him to kill 2.5 >_> (oh, and we looted a demon shield haha)

Demon Helmet Key Quest (a.k.a. spellbook/parchment)

26 June: Got level 131 while helping Plutti and Dtrox to start Orc Faction.

Level 131

Erebus June 26

& did Pendant of the Gods quest with Gades. It's a nice little amulet which helps keep track which blessings the character has, ensuring after a death one won't be missed while doing 'the walk of shame' x_x

Pendant of the Gods Quest, June 26

July 2, 2021: Funny hunt together with Tim at Serpentine Tomb with creatures that can get me killed with a few hits x_X

I've decided to avoid borrowing lots of money from my friends and instead, try to gamble a bit and try to attribute my crossbow on my own... This is the first successful attribution I managed to get.

Attributing my ancient xbow

July 9: Took two levels.

Level 138

July 31: Took level & Erebus again =)

Level 139

Erebus again;D

August 6: Some Lightbringers faction progress. Gades & Tim helped me out with one task. I later went hunting at the White Light Church with Tim. It was quite funny. Certainly risky at my level. Got level and in the final part of the hunt, Wigfrid blocked some Holy Sentinels. We also did one round at the Icons of Light floor.

August 13: Took level 141 while doing the Dwarf Dragoneaters task of the Elf faction. I also finished later on the Dragoneaters task but I did not keep a picture of it (can't remember if I finished it on the 13th or 14th or so...).

Level 141

August 14: Took level 142 as I GFBed Dream Tomb, making progress on the Lightbringers task of mummies & regular EXP hunting task of Bonebeasts.

Level 142

Later that day I've also had quite some luck! The Elf & Cyclops trophy can only be obtained in a quest. It requires to accept the quest in advance and then be ready for the rare opportunity in which a special raid happens.

I was actually very late to arrive to this boss as the ruling guild, Adrenaline, basically has the claim for such bosses before the rest of the players on the server. However, since over half an hour passed since the raid was announced and no Adrenaline Member arrived to claim the boss, I figured it was legitimate to kill it. While I was killing it, some Eternum member, Concealed (365~ Ranger), also came to kill it. But too late. It was regarded as mine already.

I suppose that's one of things I appreciate most in this game world, Legacy. It's truly a peaceful server to play on. The rules set by Adrenaline are a very small price to pay and in return, it secures an orderly and respectful atmosphere for the entire community. Adrenaline could've certainly imposed far more annoying 'rules' and abuse their powers, but they simply keep it modest. I appreciate it.

Captain Bigtoe (Aug. 14)

August 18: Keeping up with the progress on the different factions. I'm at the last mission in the Elf Faction. Taking it slow as there's no rush. In the meantime, I try to make far more serious progress in the Dwarven faction.

Took level while doing the Minotaur Archers task (combined with the regular hunting/experience reward task of Minotaur Mages).

Level 143

August 19: Got magic level 20 while I'm now doing the Minotaur Guards faction/killing task, combining it with the 5,000 Minotaurs regular hunting task (not sure if I'll finish that 5K mino task but whatever...).

Magic Level 20

August 20: Right after server save, there was the Sulphira raid. Sadly, I was not online to participate in the killing of Sulphira. But at least my new guildmember showed me where I can collect the Albino claw from it's lair (which is sealed unless the raid happens). I have no use for the claw at the moment, but better get it so in case I'd need it, I'll already have it instead of waiting for the next raid to happen).

post-Sulphira, Albino claw

August 26, 2021: Took level 144 during boss check round at Desolated Lands.

Level 144

Aug. 28: Progress in Dwarf Faction & killing some 'Prophecy Refugee' that was involved in player killing, including attempting to kill one of my guild members.

Sept. 3rd: I found Archiona for the first time! But I would've been killed had I tried to fight it alone. Luckily, Banderoll was online and willing to come. Druids are, apparently, wonderful blockers! Sadly, however, there was no good loot.

Archiona 2

Later that day I've also been to an Alphabeast hunt in order to get Spiked Backflap for my warrior addon. Lil Timmeh and Rusty Hood helped :) & looted Boots of Haste during an Osaris undead raid!

Nov 8: Quick morning play was prolonged as orc raid happened. After Magiska killed orc boss and confirmed there's no problem for others to clean the rest, I started running around GFBing it all. It was awesome EXP/H and fun. Then I nearly died when I rushed into a boss he didn't kill and plenty other orcs, including warlords. I've killed all of the respawn including the boss. No cool loot sadly. But at least it was fun and another boss I've had the chance to kill :)

Nov. 25: Early morning, I see on discord a meteor raid happened. Not 100% awake, I rush to mine different spots since not many people are online and it's a wonderful opportunity to make lots of money :) I actually mined 40+ ores that run. But as I wasn't fully awake and rushing things, I went down that Mittenhoff pit without shield on and got smacked really quickly x_X

9th death - Lera

& then I obviously had to regain my mining skill in order to avoid having Gades passing me on the highscores :)

2nd mining 76

Gieffrin, Monk Boss, 1st time

Level 181

And I also sold my ancient crossbow with Fast Hand and Sharpshooter attributes. I spent 4,200,000 gold pieces trying to attribute it. Sold it for 1,170 Medivia Coins, losing money, but it just made more sense than continuing to gamble money on attributing it myself.

Sold ancient Xbow w/ fasthand, sharpshooter

bought a fully attributed Enhanced crossbow for 400k. That said, I'd still prefer to find some crystalized bow with Flawless, Fast Hand and Precise until I upgrade to a fully attributed ancient xbow or so.

Level 185

fully att. enhanced xbow

Oh right, Charles & I were also fortunate enough to claim both of Yehsha's meteor locations :) Here is a picture of Charles smashing some Fleshbiters since he's on the killing task of Fleshbiters.

January 16th: Lil Timmeh's Zorbar :D I took excessive risks that Bishop fight. Quite lucky I survived.

Tim's Bishop Zorbar

January 19th: Finished Albino Dragons task. Unfortunately, I did not get the armor I was so hoping to loot. But working from home for such a long time made this task easy to complete, especially given the new training spear.

I also found Gromm, the Ancient Stone Golem, for the first time, &&& advanced to mining skill 79!

Level 193

March 11: Took level. Later that day, I made a fatal mistake - I clicked to do a small heal instead of full heal. The result: I died. This is my 10th death on Lera. Loss of level/experience is not nearly as painful as the loss of mining skill x_x

Level 194 - 1st time

My mistake, 10th death, downgraded 194-193

March 12: Retook that level.

Level 194 - 2nd time

March 18: Found Archiona. Successfully killed her. But once killed, I was so focused on removing the dragons and dragon lords blocking my path to loot the corpse that I got into some weird tunnel vision and forgot to keep my health points up - so I died. Hah. Quite a redundant death but that's it. Paid for the mistake.
