Say, is 'the spear guy' still around lately?
900:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>899
Right here.
900:N:Anonymous Adventurer
The man himself shows up lol
Phew, good.
No posts from you, so I was starting to think you'd retired
901:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>900
My apologies for making this about myself, but I was recently promoted to Triple-Rank.
I've been sorting out my job situation so I can become a full-time adventurer, which is why my posts have thinned out lately.
I can't reveal my job name to avoid being identified, but let it be known that I did properly take an upper-rank spear job.
902:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>901
WOOOOOH!
An upper-rank SPEAR job!!
Congratulatiooooons!!!
903:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>901
After 'Spear King-sama,' now 'the spear guy' too
More upper-rank spear job holders is a win for this whole thread
Congrats

Congratulations, ssu.
I just made Double myself recently, ssu.
906:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>901
Congrats, buddy.
907:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>901
Congratulations, I shall say (with envy)
908:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>902>>903>>904>>905>>906>>907
Thank you all.
>>905
Congratulations to you as well.
909:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>908
Grats lol
>>907
A Ninja thread resident slipping in all casual, lmao
910:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>908
You're Triple now, so I guess the day job's over......
Once you go full-time, the overnights pile up, so you won't be coming around here often either, huh
>>905
Congratulations
Did you finally get 【Heavy Bow User】?

>>911
Stop writing summary-site-worthy headlines lol
913:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>910>>911
I am not retiring.
I'll do my best to show my face here, though the times may change.
Evenings and late nights will likely become the norm.
914:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Hello, may I ask a question?
I started out as an adventurer with the sword as my main, but I can't fight well with it, and my seniors keep telling me to switch my weapon to a spear.
I'm thinking of giving it a try—are there any spears you'd recommend for a beginner?
For reference: no job yet, and I'm Level 6.
915:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>914
For a starter spearhead, the standard sasa-leaf shape is best.
You won't need a blade longer than 30 centimeters.
For the shaft: if you're currently using a shield too, pick a spear you can wield one-handed while keeping the shield.
If you think close combat isn't your strong suit, drop the shield and go with a longer two-handed spear.
If your party members will take the front, you don't need to force yourself up there either.
Early on, have multiple people pile onto one monster at a time.
916:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>914
Long spear, ya hear.
The soul of the spear is its reach, ya hear.
The longer it is, the better it is, ya hear.
917:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>910
All good, ssu!
Practicing the hyper mode of my dreams, ssu!
>>914
Lately I can't stop thinking about jumonji spears, ssu.
I'm thinking of switching my spear to one of those, ssu.
918:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>915>>916
Thank you both
Close combat isn't my thing, so I'll drop the shield and go as long as possible
919:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Speaking of jumonji spears, apparently an otherworlder turned up in Chiba lol
920:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>919
Deets?
921:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>920
Details, ssu
922:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>921
Remember the missing-person case a while back?
The missing guy from that case carried a jumonji spear, and there was a rumor he might be an otherworlder, remember?
Apparently he's been found
923:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>922
What do you mean, "found"?
Not "caught" or anything?
924:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>922
There it is, there it is lol
That's the one where the thread went wild about jumonji spears existing in the other world too lol
925:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>922
The missing person was found, you mean?
The otherworlder thread?
No wait, the Chiba thread?
Gonna go peek
926:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>925
More like—there's someone hunting solo on Floor 18, and their weapon is a jumonji spear
Hunts day and night without break, apparently swings by the campsite every once in a while
927:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>926
Blonde little girl?
Naked?
BRB, off to Chiba!
928:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>927
Get a grip lol
Apparently it's a bearded old man lol
Strong even by the local Triples' assessment, and the otherworlder thread had decided he'd been abducted and modified lol
Thread's verdict: not an otherworlder lol
929:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>928
The residents of that thread will never, EVER admit the naked blonde little girl doesn't exist, I shall say......
So not missing after all—hunting so hard he doesn't even come home at night, which means he was never actually missing, I shall say
930:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Aw, so not an otherworlder, huh
Boring
931:N:Anonymous Adventurer
I'm glad there's no problem at all.
Something's come up, so this is where I take my leave.
Please don't forget to make the next thread.
932:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>931
Rip.
The moment you say "whoever hits >>950 makes it," everyone stops posting, I swear
932:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>931
Thanks for your hard work, 'the spear guy'!
933:N:Anonymous Adventurer
It's gotten REAL quiet now lol
Somebody got any material or what?
934:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Less material, more—there's something troubling me lately and I need you all to hear me out, ssu.
Love advice, ssu.
935:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>934
Off-topic—my gut says take it to the Adventurer Romance Advice board, but I'll listen lol
936:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>935
There's a board like that, ssu?
I'll head over there too, ssu.
I told you about making Double recently, ssu, right?
The person who helped me back then is on my mind, ssu.
937:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>936
What's there to agonize over?
You're a 【Charge Spearman】—stop hesitating and CHARGE!
938:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>937
There's a problem, ssu.
That person is my senpai's boyfriend, ssu.
939:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Senpai♂'s boyfriend♂?
Ahh—
940:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>938
Yeah, that's a no-go lol
So what are they like?
Stats, please lol
941:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>940
Would you believe it, we have the SAME job—Charge Spearman, ssu.
My senpai's boyfriend, and a student, ssu.
Young but a promising adventurer, and higher level than me, ssu.
942:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Two male spear users in one dungeon...... there's no way nothing happens......
943:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>942
Stop spreading scorching hot slander about spear users lol
944:N:Anonymous Adventurer
And so far, every single character is gay!
945:N:Anonymous Adventurer
Your senpai's boyfriend is off-limits, obviously
Give-up-melon
946:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>941
See, this "romantic feelings" thing I don't really get
How do you even notice you LIKE someone?
947:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>945
You're right, ssu. I'll give up, ssu.
>>946
It's my first time feeling this way, so I'm a bit freaked out myself, ssu.
When I think about that person, I get a nosebleed, ssu.
I've been trying NOT to think about them and practicing hyper mode instead, but the nosebleeds won't stop anyway, ssu.
Lately I've been hiding so we don't run into each other, ssu.
948:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>947
Huh. So that's how it works......
949:N:Anonymous Adventurer
【Trap User】 here, snagging the 949 get with grace
Whoever hits the next post makes the thread, aight—
Official notice from the Adventurer's Association before the thread gets made, yeah—
950:N:Anonymous Adventurer
I'm back.
I'll go ahead and make the next thread myself.
I did ask someone to make it precisely so it wouldn't come to this, but it had the opposite effect, didn't it.
Making a thread is nothing scary—experiencing it matters too.
951:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>950
Welcome back, 'the spear guy,' ssu.
I didn't mind taking it, ssu, but the 【Trap User】 showed up, so I figured hitting it meant losing and couldn't post, ssu.
952:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>951
There you were.
About the nosebleed: that is not love. That would be the recoil from hyper mode, most likely.
If you haven't taken them yet, I recommend 【Charge・Spear・Magic Up】 and 【Charge・Bow・Magic Up】.
Dr. Amamiya of ○○ University recently published a paper stating this is a symptom caused by low magic resistance, so if it concerns you, please have a look here.
'On Overload Caused by Skill Use' (URL omitted)
So that is absolutely, definitively NOT love.
But I'll raise your danger level anyway, all right?
953:N:Anonymous Adventurer
>>952
It's NOT love, ssu?
I haven't learned either of those Magic Ups, ssu!
And I've got no skill points, ssu.
This is a disaster, ssu. Gotta level up, ssu.
By the way, what's a danger level, ssu?
