As a matter of fact, I would like to buy some Snake Oil
I smell mysterious. Exotic. Like...Indonesia. Today's BPAL scent is Snake Oil, from their Ars Amatoria collection. It's a combination of Indonesian oils sweetened with vanilla. Like "O" it's got just a hint of vanilla adding a sweetness to the scent. I like it so far, but I've only had it on for a couple of minutes so I have no idea how the scent will hold out. Some age fantastically (like Alice's Evidence or Lorelei) while others just seem to get worse. So far so good, but before I actually decide to buy it, I'm going to let it age and see what I think at the end of the day.
In DotNW (which my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
travellyr hilariously pointed out that she reads that as "Do Not Want"), I'm up to Altamira. Joy of joys, I'm wandering around the resort town without the luxury of being able to really wander (damn Vanguard). I have found that I've finally adjusted to the battle system, and using Mystic Artes to PWN thine enemy is ridiculously fun. ^_^ Hopefully on subsequent play throughs I'll be able to use more than just Emil's Mystic Arte - as most of the original cast has some pretty epic fire power (but more than anything else, I just wanna see Zelos' angel wings!!). And, y'know, be pathetically leveled up. DX Sadly, Emil doesn't level up all that quickly - mostly because while your chances of being experience points are good, they've really upped the number of EXP that you need to get to the next level. Usually the only time you're going to level up is if you're wandering around dungeons looking for fights (which isn't always a good idea) or beating a boss. I prefer the boss beating method - but sometimes that just won't level you up fast enough. Though I usually avoid battles (and thus using items/artes unnecessarily) I'm finding myself actually running into enemies because otherwise Emil will be pathetically leveled until I can earn either 2x or 10x the experience points. *sigh* No way around it, I guess.
