Coming Up:

For this coming week, working on getting previous equipment up and working is definitely at the top, along with the scythe and throwing ax animations. I've been toying with the male Vulpine model, and it may be ready for next week as well.

But, to the screenshots!

First up, is me getting my ass handed to me by the Ilhkor'sei again. :/

I believe I was attempting to stay at a distance this time, but, as you can see, that also did not work. Bastard's tough, even at level 7.

The drops for the Ilhkor'sei, if you successfully defeat it. They currently cannot be made into anything, but I've a few things planned for them which will also hopefully be added by next Friday. 

From left to right:

Fluff, Tail, Digger, and Hind Claw

The lavaleaf Eir encounter. The lavaleaf has psychotropic effects on its users. Generally, the Vulpine Ritualists will grind the leaves in a mortar and suspend the bits in a suspension of honey and berry juice. This drink is what gives the Vulpine their visions of Koknaakoorna, The Grand Feast. 

And finally the Manaladen Lily of the Valley particles. I noticed that they were far too difficult to spot on their own as they were, so I decided to add a small particle effect. They still do not read in picture form, but, believe me, you can actually tell that they are there when it is moving. :p

And that's all that I have for this week.

And until next time,
