Today is the last day of my Alric rental and I am surely going to miss him. He has definitely made my life easier trying to climb and battle it out in Silver III. Lucky for me, I got quests that could use him. Otherwise it would have been a waste.
Today it was the Snipe Quest and so I use the water splinter with either the Pirate Captain or the Sniping Narwhal as my Snipe monster. Pretty decent except in low mana battles.
The good thing about snipe is that if your opponent is relying on a strong tank, it can get past the front line and do some damage to the back monsters. Like in this case above.
I got a potion and a Pelacor Deceiver today so that pays back the rental fee and then some for the Alric. Very worth it.
