The end result of my final attack in my race to 8
This is the final post in a three part series of my race to becoming a Level 8 Ingress Agent. Where we left off I only needed a bit more than 100,000 AP to Agent Level 8 and the best fight for AP was still to come!
In the week that followed, I visited some friends in small towns and gathered what very little AP I could by attacking the only L8 agent there but he was way overpowered for me at this point. So I went over to his work portal in the outskirts of town (which was badly located in the first place, because the statute on the picture belongs to a swimming pool in the center of town) and tried to take down his level 7 portal outfitted with 4 very rare Portal Shields. The first few minutes went great, I took down one shield and one L7 resonator, but then he noticed me.. He started recharging and rebuilding, so after 30 more minutes the portal was at 100% health and all his shields were still up.

From that point on, I paused my writing for Ingress Guide and wrote a battle plan just so I could gain the nearly 1 million more AP I would need to become L8. And I can tell you all: it worked, I became a level 8 Ingress agent in just 2 weeks! Continue reading »

And although I said to myself: “Not too many friends this year, just a small private party.”, my living room was filled with joyful people who were celebrating my living spree.
