The graphics stop happened when I was facing two Challenger Pharoarchers.

On Black Knight 2:
Well, I seem to be able to consistently get Black Knight 2 to ~100 HP with a 26 Defense build and using single elemental Formulae I and II. If I got better at timing my few level II Formulae, I'd probably be able to win.
So glad I saved the Banes I got from the Orb Guardian drops.
I'd probably like to remember where Jelly Jewels come from, but the Rebel's Helmet might be nicer, and maybe if I actually eat some Defense food. Probably won't be able to find 15 more enemies to wear a 5th Defense focus. heh.
33 Defense while also drinking Regen II. Probably basically totally safe.

It's a solid plan. With 33 Defense, even a maxed out Star Burst will only hit for 52 (or 55 if you've got a Soften from Torrent).
Figured out what's delaying the Journal window updates. There's a "cooldown" variable in the plugin that purposely waits so many ticks before refreshing the window. I lowered that, as it was set to an excessively high value; you should be able to flip through your quests much faster now.
Pharoarchers don't have any special graphical effects that might cause some kind of graphics issue, but I'm not sure what would have caused it, aside from maybe lag on your system. I'll go ahead and release another minor fix in just a bit with the Journal and Winning Streak patched, but I'll also keep an eye out for any issues when tabbing.
