Hello everyone. It’s been around seven months since the last one of these journal entries, which was about me reaching the hot side of Hot and Cold. Where do I even start?

I think Falcon (now Eagle), Barrier (now Creation) and Gravity deserved the reworks and quite like them and the Admin Panel. The revamp to the process of getting aura skins is something I found rather interesting. Not a fan of the revamped bosses of Update 26, though.

Well, I had ended up not playing the game for multiple months until Update 27 dropped. I did quite a bit of grinding Summer Tokens and getting brutally scammed out of them by Zioles. Towards the end of the spectacle I’d rolled the 50B Party Hat and the Celestial Cape, more specifically from week 6’s Summer Gacha.

I also quite liked the Rumble rework (now known as Lightning) and its new orb-centric playstyle, although I don’t really think it was necessary and am a bit salty for not being refunded the frags I spent awakening Rumble’s F and Z moves. I took a quick peek at the Pain rework and I do NOT want to fight it. On the other hand, I did not really check out Bomb’s rework, but I’ll get around to that soon enough.

I’d grinded my way to Cursed Ship, not just with boring PvE, but now also with fishing. I was catching fish left, right and centre, including Oni and Celestial aura fish. I also caught a handful of soggy boots, two Rocket fruits, two diamond chests and two fragment chests. One of the diamond chests had three common scrolls and the other had one legendary scroll. I caught the fragment chests back-to-back, and each of them gave me 1,000 frags, so I got 2,000 total. I even did a few Angler's Trust quests. I even enchanted my Rengoku with Fortune 2.

In Cursed Ship proper, I decided not to do Ship Engineer and Ship Officer quests because of how spread out they are from each other. I once tried to fight the Cursed Captain, but was completely alone and got mauled a few times, so I gave up.

I am level 1326, and I have 400 mastery on WKF, 2.5M Beli and 4.6K frags. I’m almost ready to purchase Sharkman Karate, which I’ve been meaning to get ever since I stepped foot in Sea 2. I think I’ll get the remaining frags by stalemating Flame raids. After Sharkman, I’ll try to get the Swan Glasses, which’ll take ages due to their tiny drop chance, in addition to getting the Shark Rod and upgrades for my Lightning fruit. My dearest apologies for the long post.
