End of the Year!

Dun Dun DUN!!!! We're almost there to the end of the year everyone! Hang in there! We're almost done! I went to Gustav Tunnel to hunt me down a O-Bow for my ranger and ran into this gobby. Some easy gil. Sadly the O-bow NM wasn't so easy and Eagle Eye Shotted me. Luckily Arnor was kind enough to come back and help me kick his butt. So now I got me another weapon for my ranger! Yay!

Nyzul Isle! I joined Cyprias and Shui for a Nyzule Isle run. Askar body dropped and Cyprias almost won it but he was outlotted. Its all good. There is always next time!

Which reminds me! Not sure how many peeps read this but I am currently putting a Nyzul Isle Static group together and I have three positions open! I plan on taking us to the top first and then going back and getting us armor. If you're interested and want more details. Send me a msg or tell ^^/.

Helped Nicole get her Sewer Syrup kill! Well I didn't do much. Anor and Nicole pretty much smacked the daylights out of it while I poked it a bit with a few of my spells ^^;. Anyhoo, congrats to Nicole and her fancy new ring!

Gosh...the end of another year. I had no clue I would end the year like this. My endgame linkshells are done. My friends and once fellow ls mates are all over doing exciting stuff and some even competing against each other. I've made all sorts of new friends and strengthened bonds with many who have stuck around with me ^^b. All in all. This year wasn't the bestest ever...but it was good. There was definitely more good then bad, and FFXI has definitely evolved with new quests, missions, and gameplay. Level sync, the moblin mazes, fields of valor, random treasure chests. So much I still need to explore and do ^^. Got to do many fights for the first time including ENMs, ISNMs, ZNMs, and even random NMs like AF fights or treasure mobs. Yet there is even more out there just waiting to be completed

What adventures lay waiting to be explored. What friends and foes are just beyond the horizon and waiting to be met! I dunno but I can't wait! So lets ring in the New year everyone! I know life is sometimes tough, but remember the good, memorize the fun, and enjoy it!!!

I've put a little more Bitpop on to dance to before the year is over. I apologize if it's too loud. I couldn't find a way to lower the volume. Love and peace everyone. ^^y

OH! As a final note and repeat. I'm putting together a Nyzul Static group, a Subligar/Swift belt run, and perhaps other stuff! If you're at all interested please let me know! I already have a few peeps willing and I just need a few more spots filled ^^b.

The Vacation Shuffle

Yaaaaar! Hello my little blog! Long time no...see-yar~!!! XD Anyhoo, I think this is going to be the longest post ever! I totally kept forgetting to update so I have a lot of things to talk about. Time to scribble!

Wings of the Goddess missions!!! Me and Cyprias have gotten pretty far in them and are almost done with what has been released so far. Although the beginning few CS of the series kind of turned me off (come on SE, really? like 4 CS right out of the box? boo on you), SE has definitely redeemed themselves with the storyline and the cutscenes. When it comes to surprises and awsome action, the cutscenes of the missions and quests are by far some of, if not the best, I have seen so far. It was definitely super fun laughing at all the great stories and sitting at the edge of my seat for some of the action cutscenes. I'm definitely looking foward to doing more of them.

Decided to poke my nose around and explore Fei'Yin a bit. I ran into a NM but sadly the shadow didn't want to drop anything that night. Oh wells. Fei'Yin really doesn't have much to offer so don't go out there unless you really need something from there. More boring then I thought >_<;;.

I did help a stranger with the RDM AF fight though, sadly it cursed me and made my exploring much slower then I anticipated. Help a person and get cursed! Sometimes luck just doesn't work for ya. @_@;

Campaign! Something to do from time to time when I need to work on my buffers. Exp parties are a pain to find on thief so instead I go out and kick some beastman butt. However, sometimes campaign gives ya bad situations like the one above @_@;;;. The yagudo was AoE'ing every 10 seconds for like 800 dmg, lets just say people died very quickly almost instantly. However, despite difficult fights and very difficult NMs, campaign has proven to be a very good training area for my thief to ensure my abilities stay top notch and are not forgotton. That and its always fun to fight with thief. Despite being my main job, there isn't a lot I can bring it too so I love to push my dmg numbers out as much as possible ^^b.

Dynamis! For those who know me for a long time. I never had kind words for dynamis. Perhaps it was because I was the sac puller for my first dynamis LS and lost over 30K exp but since I was too low to wear it they didn't let me lot on stuff. Or perhaps its because out of the three dynamis linkshells I was in and all the runs I went to, I only had a single win. Anyhoo, the current LS I joined for it has more then definitely changed my outlook on dynamis. If a single person needs a win, the linkshell gets it for them, with little to no trouble. Although their lotting system is kind of confusing and I'm not sure if I'm getting points, I respect their system and I know I will get the big stuff sooner or later. (Most likely later lol). But hey! I technically don't have points for the areas yet but I already have three of the five beastmaster AF2 already! Wooo~. Anyhoo, SpiritEvolution is definitely a good linkshell and I hope to not let them down.

Ranger! I currently have gotten it to 71 and am getting towards the end. The job is proving to have been a great investment for fun. Although not easy on the wallet, I don't regret leveling the job one bit. Although I forgot to take a picture I did get to party with Krys, Nicole, and 3 funny british people. Just wanna have a special shout out to all of them for having a great exp pt and for making me laugh ^^b.

The Duke~. Was helping Nicole farm a coffer key for her Pld AF. After we got the key and coffer, I realized something. Now that Castle V is no longer a good farming spot, people rarely go there! In fact, three of the four NMs were up when me and Nicole were there. Although one killed us, we came back and killed the other two for revenge. Yay team kick butt!

PLD AF fight! Some more helping of the fellow linkshell peeps! Super easy fight thanks to Nicole, Arnor, and Krys. So buff we even got a link and it didn't phase us one bit! Congrats to Nicole getting her pld all buff. Let me tell ya, Nicole is a crazy good pld. Her vokes and hate control was so quick I only got hit once when pulling, good stuff!

The new goblin maze thingy do-hicky! The first night was pretty bad. Me and cyprias tried unprepared and I ended up dying and Cyp had to zone. We definitely learned quickly it wasn't something you could easily solo or duo with any job. Anyhoo, although me and Cyp's night was kind of a bust, KoalaPandas came back the next day and we kicked butt! Not just one run but two! Very proud of em! Go Arnor, Krys, and Nicole~!

With that many of us got us eyepatches! Definitely a very cool piece of equipment that I like a lot ^^. I only have a few things lying around because they look awsome when wearing and the eyepatch is now one of em!

Anyways, much as happened since my last post. I quit my salvage linkshell due to personal reasons and like I said earlier I am jumping back into dynamis. SE has ruined Cyprias' and mine farming spot so I'm currently still hunting a spot I can farm on thief. We'll see...

I also killed Diabolos with the Doody couple and Arnor as well as done a few assaults with Arnor, Cyprias, and some nice strangers. Sadly I keep forgetting to take pictures ._.; Anyways, thats my large update for now. I'll try to do them more often, but no promises during the holidays @_@;.

New Battles! No treasure! XD

So much stuff has been going on I totally forgot to do another update! >_<; I really need to work on that...how else am I supposed to remember all my great adventures and fights! My ranger is currently 68 and I hope to have it 75 by the end of the year. The job is definitely a lot of fun but my wallet will be glad when I put it away once I reach 75. I forgot his name but I want to write a little note thanking the unkown galka for helping me get Francisca. He pretty much solo'ed Aquarius while I cheered him on. Very nice of him to give me the drop. Yay to nice strangers!

ISNMs! I had never done them before so when Arnor asked if I would help him out with the fights with my red mage I quickly agreed to help. I didn't have the orders so I didn't get any treasure. However, the fights were a great learning experience and the group of people were all very friendly and nice. Sadly no one got any really big treasure but it was still super fun!

BCNM with Lilyoda! We attempted to do the Under Observation fight with two black mages and a scholar. Both of the team's orbs ended with us dying and not getting anything, but the fight definitely taught me much about the fight. I'm pretty sure if I do this fight next time I will stick to the red mage and two ninja strategy.

ENM! This time this is the Reqium of Sin one I believe. Of course you couldn't tell from my picture. I apologize but throughout most of the fight I was running away from an evil rabbit so this was the only picture I could take during the fight. The fight is definitely very fun and I'm quite interested to see what kind of treasure we can get from it. Although I'm second in line for it, X's knife would be super awsome o_ob. Anyhoo, much love to Cyprias, Accolade, and...Shiu (or is it Shui?) for doing an amazing job. I look foward to kicking more butt with them later.

Head butting yagudos! Well not really... Again I got another bad picture and before I could take another the fighting was already done. Cyprias and myself spent a night doing some of the quests needed for the WotG missions. The storyline of the quests are quite exciting and some of the cutscenes are almost up there with some of the mission ones! I can't wait to see what else is going to happen in the past!

No pictures from salvage but boy do I have stories about it! We have been going after some different chariots and have been progressing against them quite well. We have taken down Battleclad Chariot down to 20% and ran out of time and then 1% and wiped (and ran out of time). Although its never fun to lose, our linkshell is having noticeable progress on the boss. Although I really don't enjoy the job, I plan on meriting red mage a little more once I have the spare time. Oh, and on a side note congrats to Gimpers on his completed Usu feet and Kaysa on 35 macha pants!

More updates later. Love and Peace~.

Happy Turkey Day

Hey Everyone! Hope everyone is doing alrighty. I've been pretty busy and haven't been on a lot @_@;. I apologize to those I haven't talked to in quite a bit and I wanna make sure peeps know I'm doing okay! Just school has been super busy lately ^^;. But have no fear peeps! I'll make sure to keep on going on adventures and keep people posted on stuff.

I've been leveling ranger lately and have been enjoying it quite a bit. Thanks to the amazing Selene's Bow Arnor and Cyp got me, my ranger has been doing really good damage ^^. Heck, I think I'm missing some much needed upgrades but my ranger is able to just keep at it! Although its really fun it still isnt as amazing as my thief though. Haven't been able to use it too often but my damage output has been pretty good with it. My little upgrades here and there have really shown. Its really thanks to all my friends and linkshells though. I know my thief couldn't be as strong as it is without the super amazing help I've gotten along the way. I just hope I can make people proud with how I use my thief ^^;.

Have a great turkey day to those that celebrate it and everyone have an amazing month! Enjoy the winter!

I'm Alive Still!

*Gasps for air under my pile of notes* Ack! Hi everyone. Been super busy with projects and miterms of late. Super tough stuff. I really haven't done all too much besides salvage lately. I haven't been to a dynamis run in weeks and I really need to check up with them. I also missed a week of ENM runs due to my lack of sleep and studying >_<;. But all is not bad. Salvage ls took down the chariot again and we got Gimper's usu 25 boots! Then we went off and got the 15 piece as well so now he is wearing himself a very nice pair of boots ^^. So congrats to Gimpers! Anyhoo, I don't have anything else big to say adventure wise. This November has been kind of stinky but I'm sure we can turn it around! I just know it! ^^

/feint

Holy moly some of you are saying! What the ef happened! Well like anything else in life, you gotta mix it up a bit! Change the normal routine! So after honestly hours of working at it (wait I copy and paste what?! What happened to my...omg the slashes make no sense!!!) the blog has gotten a new change up! I felt the last one was too heavy on the left side and was wasting space on the right so I hunted down one that felt like both sides of the page had weight to them. Anyhoo, who cares about the technical stuff behind it. On to the adventures!

Salvage has been progressing well. We took down LAC again and this time got Ares 25 hands and Skadi 25 body. Sadly it didn't drop the two 25 pieces we need to finish armor in the linkshell but at least we're getting the fight down quite well! We plan on going at him again until we get at least one of the pieces we need. We also tried taking out Battleclad Chariot but due to a tiny miscalculation, 4400 damage was spread to only 4 people and not all 9+pets and the four people died instantly @_@;. Anyhoo, it was very fun trying a run we had never done before and Cyprias is already brooding over his notes and charts to think of ways to get us that win. As for me, *fixes glasses* I plan on doing some research as well into the boss fights to hopefully help us increase our win ratios.

ENMs! Talliah, Arminius, Arnor, and Ne...oh jeeze *palms my forehead*...I wanna say Nema? Or is it Nemu? Okay I'll have to scribble the persons name down next time. But we're going at ENMs quite strong and have won every battle. The big drops haven't arrived yet but I'm sure we'll get em sooner or later! My tail can just feel it.

Thats my little update for now. I have put a whole CD up on a super duper amazing little group that isn't all too famous. Their cheerful music sings of happiness from the heart, and to do what you have to do to enjoy life with others. I hope their songs can help give an extra beat for you guys in life in case ya need it, even if ya don't understand it. I have some big tests lately and a few more to come so my updates are going to be quite sporadic. Please enjoy this month people. Most of us give thanks on a particular day, but there is nothing stopping us to give thanks for what we have every day! So go out there, make those adventures you want to remember, and enjoy your time in Vana'Diel. Because if you're not enjoying it, you're not playing the game right. Love and Peace~! - Miry

Koalas, Pandas, and Treasure!

Holy Moly! Its almost Halloween people! Get the candy! The costumes! I need more candy!! Hope everyone is feeling alright. I know the weather has cooled down a little bit for many and I hope you're all staying cozy! Gotta make sure you stay healthy enough to get some treats soon everyone! So, adventure time! KoalaPandas does it again with another fun event out of no where! Lilyoda sent me a tell a few weeks back asking for help to put a garrison together. Turns out there is a rare instrument that isn't on the AH too often and the garrison drops it. I hadn't done garrisons in quite a while but I always remembered them to be quite fun. So, with a few persistent ls messages, and asking peeps to come help, we had ourselves a little garrison run! Sadly we only had one pop item, (took us an hour and thirty minutes for it too!! >_<;) but we got the harp Lilyoda needed and some peeps walked away with some nice little prizes. Thank you KoalaPandas for showing up for your fellow linkshell mates again! And pat on the back for Ichrius who was kind enough to lend our linkshell some extra muscle.

More helping Koalas! Hermos needed some help on an AF fight so me, Cyprias, and Arnor decided to give the mobs a little eucalyptis tree lovin to the mobs! We took em out without breaking a sweat and Hermos got to walk away with some shiny drk AF. Congrats Hermos!

Last but not least, ZNM loving! Finally got to fight Dea and give that darn Rhino a fight. Hermos, Arnor, Forix, Beyond, Cyprias, and the taru's friend Strangeprime were nice enough to help me give Dea a good punch to the face! Forix kited while everyone whittled it down and me and Beyond kept people alive. Sadly Arnor had some bad luck (I'm so sorry for binding it next to you! Accident Honest!) and he was the mean death reciever for the night. I lost count after three but he made me laugh so hard my sides were hurting from the laughter and all the while Forix was running in circles crying out for refresh and hastes. After a good amount of time the group finally took out the mob and I got my Enkidu's Subligar! Although I do look better in them then Kallo, even my tush can't make the ugly subligar look amazing. Thief has always had ugly armor (besides AF!) and the Enkidu set just adds to it. Oh wells, the str bonus from the legs is very nice and my thief WS set is looking pretty decent lately ^^b. Thank you so much everyone again. Was very kind of ya to run at that rhino when he sure as heck knocked many of us back.

Thats my little update for now. ENMs appear to be kicking up again so hopefully the group can earn some gil next time. We haven't had much luck the first two runs but that just means the good stuff is right around the corner. Salvage is bringing the fight back to the bosses so should be fun to see us go at it. Keep kicking butt everyone!

Oh, and on a little note I finally got the music up again and this time its Halloween stuff...sort of! Anyhoo, I didn't know her that well and only talked to her a few times, but I did enjoy chatting it up with Selphiie. I know she quit the game and all, but every time I hear the first song I'm always reminded of her scary resemblance to the Grudge girl @_@;;;. Anyhoo, the first song is to you Selph! I know you're out there and I hope you're enjoying life to its fullest \^^/.

When Life Shoves Ya Down. . .

We all have those rough spots in life. You know, where curveballs are being thrown at you and you're not enjoying life. Where even the cookies don't taste as good as they should. No matter how hard you smile you can see it in your eyes: pain, anger, and frustrations of life. I don't remember the exact quote, but someone once said it were these moments in life that truly showed the character of a person. The moment when you're knocked down for like the 50th time and things are looking bleak. Do you lay there and quit? Or do you stand back up and fight. I admit I chose to lie down for a bit. Mistakes kept happening, even mistakes I didn't know I could make. Those are especially the worst...its like sneezing and finding out you somehow broke someone's favorite tea set. Not only are you shocked at what happened, you cant prepare yourself for the after effects of your mistake. You wan't to say its not my fault. You want to throw the blame on someone else. Anything else...but it all comes down to your runny nose as the problem. Ok...those were a bad comparisons...anyways, I don't know if I'll do any better this time around on my feet...but all you can do is try even harder right?

*Deep breathe* Gosh...what I would do for some fresh tea. Anyways, like my little rant said, I've been going through a rough time and I was having a tough time. I try not to show it too much but as a friend of mine pointed out and I quote, I'm just a "emotional, expressive, overreacting idiot". Owww...but she had a point. And it was those qualities in me that got me in that rough time. However, with the thanks of many of my friends, I've been feeling a lot better. Ranting helps, but its pretty hard not to cheer up with the silly BCNM picture that I got XD. Frag, Cyp and me decided to give the Jelly bcnm a go in hopes of some treasure. And what do ya know, thanks to a little luck, and a lot of cheering, we all got a little cut of gil thanks to a Utsu scroll. ^^

Turns out Lynq does the Prime fights quite often to earn gil for his Dynamis weapon. I only had two fights left to get a bauble to fight fenrir so thanks to Lynq, I'm ready to kill me the big honcho. I don't know how he does it...I'm guessing he has a trained parrot or something, but Lynq was able to play all three peeps in the picture and not let em die! Craziness! Thanks again Lynq.

Oh Salvage, you bring some of the greatest and worst feelings out of everyone. If you want to know what its like to have a crappy relationship, do salvage people! First few nights out it feels great and new. You love how different it is to everything else you've done before and it even drops random 15 pieces from time to time to tease you. But once you're in for a while? The repetition starts to wear at you a bit, the high difficulty curve due to set up of players and the runs themselves begins to make ya twitch. But when you finally do get a drop? It feels amazing. Not the yay~ feeling you get from sky or sea. I mean the OMG \@_@/ and you literally feel your heart not beat for two seconds before your head realizes you need to pump blood to live. Anyways, we've been doing bosses lately and we went 1/2 on LAC and 0/1 on LBC. Although I know salvage is difficult and what it demands from players is quite a lot, I still can't help but feel disgruntled at the peeps who have whole sets of armor. Almost a "why not me!" Kind of thing ya know? Although I love the linkshell I admit our win/loss ratio's overall are pretty awful. However, I'm not gonna get my panties in a bunch. Just gotta strap in tight, and get ready to kick some butt. So screw you few peeps who I heard were talking crap on my linkshell. I'll have Raikoh stick something in yer bum. Because he likes doing that...because he loves to talk...and say stuff...lol. I think I might do a little bio for all of the salvage members. They're all quite a happy go lucky bunch and I admit if it wasn't for all their great attitudes, I probrably would of left a long time ago.

Helping out a fellow KoalaPanda yet again! Although I have been very busy with school, with my commitments to certain statics and events, and enjoying farming and other activities with c-*cough hack hack*. Ah sorry furball. Sooo~! Despite being busy, I got to help Lynq with CoP 5-3! I think...at least thats the number I remember. Anyhoo, it was the one where you gotta fight a bunch of robots and a few other things along a very long path with doors. Except for Talliah getting in a little cuffle with a bat, the run through actually went very smoothly. So congrats to those who got the mission completed! One step closer to sea!

Anyways, thats my little drama filled post for the day. I apologize about not having music for this post but I already have my selection of music lined up for my next few posts ^^b. Try to enjoy your October and finish on a good note everyone! This month only comes once a year, so make it a good one!

Gasp for Air

Blearg! I've been swamped with school work lately and I have all sorts of tests and quizes I been having to study for. Luckily my moogle doesn't look after me so I've still been able to sneak out from my pile of work for adventures! Like salvage! The darn bee up above has been super duper rude and hasn't dropped anything in a loooong long time. But what do ya know, by pure luck we got both a Skadi 35 mask and Usu 35 boots from it! Woooo! That puts me at 7/15 for the whole set. Hopefully I'll have some fancy pieces to show off for the ls. I can't wait ^^.

Well Talliah invited me to a ENM static and I always wanted to try out the fights. The gil is also nice since I can then put it to the side for my salvage armor. Anyhoo, while getting the item to enter the icy one, I got to poke and visit a very friendly dragon! This time I learned my lesson and stayed far back so he didn't try to eat me. Good times ^^.

The ENMs went pretty smoothly. One of the peeps didn't show up so Rig was kind enough to step in for us. We didn't get any amazing items but it was very nice and interesting to do these new fights. I'm always interested to see what kind of challages Vana'Diel provides and these ENMs seem challanging in a fair manner. Which is much nicer then some fights which are more evil then a monster that steals your cookies and pies at night. (The Mandy BCNM40 fight. . . *shudder*)

The only one I had experience on was the antlion fight. We were able to do the fight with little problems as well. We even saw Xolotl on the way there but just waved and kept going. Good stuff. Anyhoo, here's a picture of the actual chasm. I always thought it would be super cool if they had some deep cave down there to explore. I mean there has to be ancient stuff down there!

KoalaPandas lending a helping hand! Souel has been leveling pld as of late and needed help killing a NM that dropped a nice earring for him. Although this wasn't really a linkshell event, a few members came out to aid him in his conquest of a shiny earing! Although I had to take a quick break due to school (darn moogle caught me!), I was able to sign back on and help out souel. It was the least I could do since he's helped me out so much @_@; *nod nod*. Anyhoo, by pure luck the NM dropped the earring so congrats Souel! Not sure what it does since I hate tanking but I hope its something good!

Life has been kind of hectic lately for me, but I want to wish all my friends a very heartful thank you. The warm welcomes and hellos and kind hearts are always nice to come to when school and drama are kicking your butt. I also wanna give a very special thank you to Cyprias. For being there and trying much harder then he should to cheer me up. Thank you very much everyone. Lets keep making this October a wonderful one ^^b.

Rawr goes the Ranger!

Now when you look at the picture. What do you think? Miry be busting out her moves? Arnor telling Miry a spider is on her back? Or perhaps she is doing tai chi? Well you're all wrong! I'm camping a NM of course! But not just a regular NM! A super NM!

Because with the help of Arnor, we went rabbit hunting season. Black Coneys to be exact. And let me tell ya, Arnor is craaaaazy fast with getting this NM. So fast I think he ran faster then when I had flee on. I would see the pop thingy for a second and with just one blink kaboomy! Arnor would have the mob. In fact his claiming skills were so impressive he actually made the other group camping it leave! Craziness! Anyhoo, we actually ran out of carrots after a stack so Cyprias was kind enough to run us another stack and stay for a fight for the 13th rabbit. And lo and behold, I gots me a Selene's Bow! Thank you Cyp for the delivery and thank you super duper ultra much Arnor. You. Kicked. Butt. Simple as that.

And I got Selene's Bow because I'm in the middle of leveling ranger! I'm still scratching my head over this one really...I really dont see myself ever using it again once I hit 75. Like...once I'm level it...it's just gonna gather dust. I know I was super impressed watching my kittypal Talliah kick butt with it...but...again...not really my cup of tea. Weird I know, but its like a random urge to level something just for the sake of leveling I suppose. Anyhoo, I've had some great parties and some awful parties due to level sync. I do think the new system is great but I agree with many people when they say some kinks need to be fixed.

OMG SUPER GIANT PENGUIN! I always love spinning the camera around to see what kind of angles I can get and I love the picture. ^^; I was collecting me some zeni and tada, gots me an awsome picture. I must warn you though, watching these penguins yawn dont just make you yawn. They put you to sleep. Heck, they put you to sleep from a mile away. Craziness! Anyhoo, I have enough points to hopefully get Arnor a fancy blade for his blue mage. I gots to get it for him. I just gotta!

Salvage! More salvage fun. Sadly the amazing taru Rafnir decided to hang his hat for good. Although I didn't talk much with him out of salvage, he was very good at what he did and I respected him. And let me tell ya. I don't respect all that many tarutaru. Anyways, I'll miss that little bugger and his antics and I hope he enjoys whatever he's doing to the fullest. Hecky and Jdogg, two other powerhouse members are currently out as well. I honestly don't know much about their status but I hope everything is alright for them and they know that they got a loving kick butt salvage linkshell waiting for them. Yar! Anyhoo, we got quite a lot of 15 drops lately. I think 3-5 in just one run. Very impressive. Bosses are coming up so it should be interesting to see what the linkshell does. Fingers crossed @_@b

Thats my little update for now. I have updated the friends list by giving peeps nicknames and what not. Armi is back from his adventures from a far away place and I think Milie and I worked out some kinks. Either way, they're back on the list because they be impressive players that people should keep an eye out for. Oh yes, and a new song that I updated randomly after the last post. I found it funny and I hope it puts a smile on your face like it did mine. ~Love and Peace.

Hehe...Ooops ^.^;;;

Been busy with school and what not, totally haven't been writing as much as I could. >_<;; But I totally still have events to talk about. Like helping Sorreah with an AF fight! With the help of Hye and Zaina, we used some super mithra power and easily killed all three demons no problem! Congrats Sorreah! ^^

Dynamis! It has been very intersting ^^;;;;. The group is very friendly and they're very nice even though I make a few mistakes here and there @_@;. Its really amazing how clockwork the people work. Don't get me wrong, peeps still die and mistakes are made here and there...but holy moly, it doesn't phase them one bit! I'll be freaking out and they just calmly fix it lol. But yeah! Super friendly bunch and I'm very thankful for my pal Talliah for pointing them out. Ty kitty pal! I have two pieces of monster AF2 thanks to ya! Wooo~!

Saaalvage! Although Saturday runs have kind of gone kapoooty, we've been going strong during the week! Jdogg has fancy Usu boots, and we're getting closer to some more! We got all the way to the 5th floor on ZR and we actually killed the NM for the first time! Wooo! Sadly the drop rate is poop and we got nothing but alex pieces. Ohhh wells, at least we didnt walk away with nothing ^^.

Nyzul Isle Investigation! Thanks to the effort of Gimpers, and many members wanting to partake in it, KoalaPandas now has a Nyzul Isle static! \@_@/ Amazing! With the super amazing leadership of Gimpers, we got to the 10th floor with almost no problem at all! And thanks to a mistake about which mob we were supposed to kill, I accidently made the group kill a NM and we found a swordbreaker. @_@;;;;; I ended up getting it but I felt kind of bad. I got it thanks to a mistake... ~.~;. Its alright though, I just gotta give 200% next time and make sure we get some amazing treasure for the rest of the peeps! ^^

Anyhoo, thats my little update for now. Here is a cute little picture with Cyp cyp. I go afk for a second and next thing I know I gots me a comfy spot! :3 See ya next time peeps, I gots me a comfy spot to get to! Rawr~!

Back in...Red?

Woo, after a day or two of technical difficulties I was finally back in time to do a little adventuring. Although I won't be on as much due to all the work I'm gonna have \@_@/ I'm still gonna try my best to be there for me peeps and help them out as much as possible! So on to the stories! First up is the NM that Arnor wishes dropped stuff! The tonberry drops a nice cape for an emnity build and with cerb. mantle a little out of reach due to price, Arnor has been trying his best to get this one. The drop rate hasn't been kind to him and now he has some competition from other players. Sadly we didn't get the drop when we claimed it. Hopefully next time! Totally forgot whether I said it or not but we were able to get Arnor his YY robe! Woooo! Congrats Arn! Knew you really wanted that.

Rose Garden! Out of my 6 years of playing the game I had only seen the mob once before so when Hye told me she found it I ran my butt off to go help her. The ring it drops is super duper nice but supposedly the drop rate is awful. I'll just have to lend as much support as I can to get Hye that fancy ring!

NM thingy! Iriz Ima! A fancy Marid that makes a tarutaru walk fast. Hooooly moly. This is honestly one of the slowest mobs I have ever met. When Hye's gravity would land, I think you could kite it walking and then you would still have to stop from time to time to let it catch up. Its that bad. Anyhoo, Hye and Cyprias helped kill the NM for me since it now put me one step closing to Dea! I was really hoping the boots would drop for Hye since they're actually not that bad of a pair for red mage. Sadly my TH stunk and all we got was the seal item. Its alrighty, I'll see what I can do to get another marid pop for Hye.

Vampire thingy! Ok...this by far took the cake on the most longest and annoying ZNM fight ever! lol...With me, Hye, Arnor and Cyprias as mages, we tried nuking, smn pets, and DoTing it and then zoning. The only problem we had was that the darn thing kept regening faster then we could damage it. Krystala and Gimpers came to the aid and even then our current strategy was no use. Finally I thought of zoning in groups and just rotating out. Although there was a tiny improvement we still had trouble with keeping the NM's HP down. Finally...I think after an hour or so of attempting, Cyprias thought of a brilliant plan that we could all just zone all by ourselves not in a party since the NM has alliance hate. Sure enough, after a few minutes we could see the plan working like a charm. Although the battle was pretty long, and a few peeps had to give up their trusty experience, we were finally able to kill the NM! To top it off Cyprias was kind enough to donate the Enkidu Legging's to me since his Usu boots put em to shame. Thank you very much Cyp cyp! The boots seem very fancy and the little results I have had with them made me super happy that I was lucky enough to recieve em. Kind of stunk having so many people die for em though...I'll have to give em all something in return!

Those are my stories for now. Expect Salvage, Dynamis, and more fat tail soon!

Standing By. . .

I leave tomorrow to go back to the Windurstian Polyalchemy University of Tarutarus and Mithras of the Ifrit's Coast. (lol get it!? Only two peeps probably will. . .). Anyhoo, I'm leaving for college tomorrow and its just my luck that my computer dies on me. So now I am currently scrambling all over the place to try to fix it. Supposedly there is something I need to replace in it so I'm going to the store with a computer wizz to see if I can hopefully get the parts and be up and running before I go off to college. Regardless, I apologize for all the activities I'm gonna have to sit out and I promise to make it up to you peeps. Right now, I'm just standing by. . .

Miry's Tale. No, not the fat one.

As Fraggles would say, Christ on a bike! Just to warn you, this is gonna be the super duper most longest post ever in the history of Miry's tail. Heck, I'm changing the title to Miry's Tale. Just to make it sound catchy. There we go, much better then what I had before which was just "Wow, lot of stuff" XD. So! Lets get down to what I've been up to! So much to talk about!

First off salvage! After doing salvage for quite a while I have finally met the super rare NM bee that you see in the picture. The mob is so rare whenever you take a picture of it battle stuff gets in the way and blurs the picture! I swear I have 10 pictures and this is the best one of it. Anyhoo, a very interesting thing about this NM is that when it does spawn, it spawns a bunch of times! I think we killed the NM...4-5 times? I know it was a lot and I totally lost count. Heck, it might be more! Anyhoo, the ls finally got to walk away with another 35 piece so congrats to Jdogg for his new sexy usu 35 boots! Besides that, salvage has been doing pretty good despite having some trouble on a saturday run. But all in all, still the greatest darn salvage linkshell I know! And I know two of em! Sort of. . .@_@; We're the best darnat!

CoP Missions! Dun dun dun! I haven't really gone back to them since I beat em but Korbon and Shylo needed help with the last two and as the KoalaPandas spirit goes, you gotta help your friends in need! With the help of Arnor, Cyprias, Talliah, Lilyoda, and Sorreah (crud...am I forgetting anyone else? @_@;) and me, Shylo and Korbon were able to beat 8-3 and 8-4 after a few fights so we could first learn the strategies of not dying. XD Congrats to those two!

New topic! Although I love my new linkshell I made KoalaPandas super duper a lot, I don't want to push activities on the linkshell. Its really meant to just be a relaxing ls to laugh and chat when you're not doing those stressful endgame stuff. Anyways, I admit I missed having stuff to go to and salvage is really a short activity every few days so I wanted to see what other end game stuff I could find. After talking to smartest elvaan I know Evaine, I decided to join a dynamis ls that dabbles in a few other things. So after a little discussion with a few of the members, and a nice chat/interview with the linkshell leader, I'm now a member of SpiritEvolution. They seem like a very friendly bunch and its very nice talking to them ^^;. Hopefully I can learn more about em as I continue doing my best in the ls.

Anyhoo, the first thing I got to do with them was limbus! I have done very few limbus runs and they went to one of the promyvion looking areas. I was very intimidated since we were fighting the king NMs and I really haven't gone up against many other thiefs damage wise and all of a sudden I was up against 2-3 of em! And guess what! I kicked booty! My damage wasn't the best out of all the DD's but I'm pretty sure I was dealing more then decent damage @_@b. With a little sigh of relief I was able to follow the linkshell to the top and we got some chip to boot. Woo!

Dynamis. I won't lie. My past two dynamis linkshells left a very bad taste in my mouth and even though Talliah spoke nothing but good things about the linkshell, I was still worried whether or not I would enjoy my time there. Dynamis is even more crazy then I imagined with people and mobs running everywhere. Spells flying left and right and people rushing from mob to mob under the time limit. My job as red mage was to keep the black mages alive and I was able to do it alrighty...sort of @_@;. I felt really bad though since I think the linkshell leader died like what? 10+ times? >_<; I was spamming my sleeps, cures and refreshes as fast as I could but so much was going on and so many peeps were running around I think i got overwhelmed. On a super awsome note though Talliah got her blm a new pair of gloves and I got myself a super awsome bst helm! I totally need to level bst now...but I also wanna level cor! @_@; So much to do! More helping peeps! Onekuo needed help with G2 mobs so with a smirk from Cyprias, we decided to see how high our WS could go! XD With Onekuo there to make sure we didn't kill ourselves silly, we were dishing out high dmg like people grabbing up fancy pants at the 80% off sale! I even got off a 3.3k Evisceration! Woo! *Flexes*. Anyhoo, after dealing some damage that would one shot certain mobs, Onekuo was able to walk away with G2 completed! Congrats Onekuo!

Like I said before, I'm trying my super best to help as any peeps as I can to make Vana'Diel a better more fun place for everyone! I gotta give back to the community kind of thing! This time I didn't help one but three peeps! Dangertaru, Elbe, and Villaresch all needed the 9-2 final fight for Windurst. I was the first one to agree to help and I admit I was a little worried at first. They were not super high levels and we were having trouble finding a tank. However, by pure chance they found Thursday the amazing rdm taru and Alexandrite, the omg buff pld out of no where. I mean Alexandrite could only speak japanese and they somehow randomly got him to help by just asking politely. XD Even with a mess up in the beginning and the blm dying, we were able to finish the fight with 15 minutes left. Congrats to those three for the win and if I ever see them again, I want to thank Thursday and Alexandrite again for showing so much kindness to strangers. If ya see them give em a hug!

Assaults! Talliah and I both want us some sexy Phl. body and with super helpful Hye, we got us a small static! With twin rdm powers and super awsome cor, the Lamia #13 assault is cheesy cake! At first I was thinking naming the group Kittypals and Catnip but Talliah thought of one of the greatest names ever! So without further ado, the Talliah, Hye, and Miry team will now be known as Pimphats and Pirate! XD Hopefully in a week or two we will all have some awsome armors! Heck! We might even do different assaults! Only time will tell o.o

Nyzul Isle! By pure chance me and Hye had an extra tag left over from our assaults and with Zaine willing to take us to the top, we decided to give Nyzul Isle Investigation a go at it! We kicked super duper butt with Zaine leading Cyp, Korb, Shy, Hye, and me to the top. Sadly we got really unlucky with the debuff we got from the dungeon on the boss (really!? No weapon skills allowed!? What the ef!) and we ended up not killing the boss. However, I amazingly got a rng crossbow! XD Now I have to level cor, rng, aaand bst! Holy moly thats a lot on my to do list @_@;. Good job on the run peeps and wow Zaine! You led us through like a veteran! Very awsome!

Most of you are like wowy! That was a long post, but there is more! Lots more! Like helping Talliah farm the item for the Teleport-Yhoat scroll. It took a little while but it was super nice to talk and chat with Talliah eating cookies now and then and poking lizards. Good times!

Oh! And KoalaPandas' first big event was a motto/catchphrase/battlecry contest! We had a contest to create one of items listed above that depicted the linkshell. It actually came down to two and it was super close! I liked all of em so much I actually sat out of voting since I wanted to see what the linkshell wanted. By a single vote, Cyprias won. \@_@/ So congrats Cyp and hope you enjoy the muffins! XD Anyhoo, lets see what the linkshell thought up of!
