The Little Things!

Hello world! You sure have been pretty happy go lucky lately. Just makes things awsome ^^. Although I didn't do anything big, I decided to still write about em. Like campaign! I've noticed that not as many people do it since the crowds have died down quite a bit. Its still super fun, but from time to time, I would get aggro from like 3 mobs and had to run around in circles till someone took em from me. I ran my booty off for like five minutes with only 8 hp. It was crazy! Then I took a random AoE and died, but it was one of those super intense moments ya know?

I had just finished my chores (darn you Mr. Moogle!) really late into the night when I got an invite from a japanese party. I hadn't been in one for quite a while, but I always rememebered them as super duper good parties. So after grabbing a nice warm cup of tea, I joined them and ran off to kick some colibri butt! It was probrably because I was a thief eating sushi...but I was super duper kicking butt! I was outdamaging a monk and warrior despite also pulling (darn you lazy bards!). However, half way through the party...it hit me. The japanese party I was in...it didn't have that super duper kick butt feel to it anymore. Sure, only me and one other person was 75, but my standards of super duper japanese party was not met. I'm not sure what that means...but it was wierd! I still came out with one merit, but the party ended quickly when half of them were going out to eat sushi. Those lucky peeps and their fresh fish...

Anyhoo! That pretty much sums it up for my weekend adventures. I also did a little farming to the side, but nothing big. I'm trying out a few spots at the moment but with the sporadic prices the auction has at the moment...we will see what happens. Hope you guys finish off April with smiles and good times! May is sure to be a blast! And to end April on a good note, I changed the music to a super duper awsome group! Enjoy! ^^

Zilart - It made me cry.

Get comfy peeps, for today, you get to hear of a story. One which some of you may have heard, and some of you who are still working on it. There was once this super race as the Zilart. And they tried to do some bad stuff. But then most of em died out. But then a few of em are still alive and are trying to do evil things again. Thats where the heroes come in. Because they follow the evil people to the evil lair and then have a super duper battle against the supposedly last evil Zilart person.


Now some of you actually read the titles, and are wondering...how the heck can you cry to that. Like any ending, its depressing sitting down...knowing that there is no more after it (I know I know, Apocolypse blah blah, but thats just a quest! Not a mission!). Its like having to bury your pet goldfish. I won't ruin the ending for those who still need to finish it, but I will say this, it is worth the time. Stuff happens, and at the end...(or right before the end...it depends), Gilgamesh has a little story that made me teary. Its just good!

Here is the main group that I fought with. I didn't know anyone but Kviton. Thats him to the far right. He showed up once my group got their butt kicked a few times. ^^; Thank you Kvi! You were an amazing tank! Drew in the middle had to leave so we had someone else come out, but besides that, everyone there was the main fighting force. After learning what not to do (hitting the guy for 0 dmg when his shield is up, bad), our group was able to quickly kick his butt! Thanks you strangers and Kvi! Good fightin!

Taking Care of Business~!

Hi hi everyone! Vana'Diel sure has been awsome lately! Although I don't really have a scedule to fit in end game stuff (sporadic work go go!), I've still enough time to go on some good adventures! Like Arn and me trying to hunt down some O-Kotes! We had no luck again, but it's all good! I'm sure we will get em next time!

Have you guys even gone searching through items on the AH, then find some item that you must super duper have? It might not be the best way to spend your gil...but you want it sooo bad? No? Well I sure as heck get that feeling from time to time ^^;. Like when I saw a piece of furniture called Alchemist's Tools. They dont increase my alchemy (although I did skill it up to 91!), they dont add to my moghancement (go go moghancement: experience), they just look cool! So after smacking down 150k at the AH, I got me some! My moogle house is almost complete! I just need a few more pieces of furniture and It will look as much as a house as ever! ^^.

I was fishing for a bit and was able to get a nice little picture of Windy from the ferry. The view reminded me when I first took the ferry to go to Selbina. I was only in some armor I found off some goblins, and I was still exploring much of the place. Good times! ^^

Last but not least! I did some assaults! It was some T2 one where you had to kill a bunch of undead. Hye and Bane joined me as we tried it out. We didn't finish the first round since we ran out of time on the last one. Thats when I sent out a tell and got out the big guns! Thats right peeps! Mr. Black belt Cyprias came out for round two and holy moly! He punched those undead until they died again! @_@ We ended up with a lot of extra time since he kicked a few skeles into their own graves. Cyp had to leave after that run but then Milie joined us for round three! It was super thief poke time! I still think of Milie as a whm so its really awsome to see her kick butt as a thief! ^^

After those assaults I finally got to go to rank three! Wooo~! It took me a little while to find the hoofprint (thanks Arnor! You're awsome!), but I finally did! So now I have a few more battles to try out ^^

After searching around for a little bit, it turns out a lot of peeps have their own little blogs! I was surprised! I didn't know so many of my friends made their own. Some of them look super fancy and everything! So go out and read about their stories peeps! These are super duper professionals who know a lot more then me. ^^;

Pushing to the Limits!

Holy moly! What an amazing lil weekend! I hope you are all enjoying life to its fullest! I was a lil bummed out since I had a super busy week and my moogle kept yelling at me to do my chores. But after I finished them all and had a free weekend, whammy! Totally super duper fun time! Lets get down to business and see what I did!

Merits! I don't have a lot of them, but I sure do love em! You can totally feel the difference when you add a few merits here and there. I had three merit parties over the weekend and they were all pretty good ^^. My first was one was at the bird camp at Nyzul Isle. Since we didn't have a bard, I got to be puller! And let me say, I still got my pulling moves! I was grabbing birds left and right, it was crazy! I was on fire and everything! Saving the mages with accomplice, pulling birds as if they were NMs, and keeping up with the other DDs! I even got complimented from the white mage about being a thief. I know a lot of my friends say that...but it just feels different coming from a stranger...you know? ^^; We got to talking for a lil bit and he asked to be friends. Of course I said! So thats another awsome peep I know in Vana'Diel.

My second merit party was with Milie and Rifuburade. Our red mage was missing a few screws somewhere, and poor Rifu ate a lote of dirt, but the party was still decent. ^^ I finally got to party with a high level scholar and I was very impressed. They got some very nifty abilities and I can't wait to see more of that job. Milie was unlocking her heart snatcher yet she was still dealing as much damage as me. As I talked to her for a little bit, it turned out she had a heck of a lot more dex then me. No offense to Milie at all, but I was sort of embarassed that she was keeping up with me. I was a level above her and had a blau! Not to mention a few merits. So after that merit party, I ran over to the Auction house and grabbed me some dexterity rings. And ta~da! My damage got a nice little increase.

My last party for the weekend was with Forix. He brought out his paladin this time and we exp'ed inside Mamook. I never exp'ed in there but it was pretty interesting! I haven't done a roaming exp party since waaaay back in the day when people used to chase down dhamels in Tahrongi Canyon instead of going to the Valkrum Dunes.

And I got to do besieged again. I must say, I hate the undead the most. They are super duper evil!!! Charming, cursing, tearing off your clothes, and not to mention their nasty AoE robots. I'm pretty sure I died over 6 times in that darn besieged. Despite hitting my head against the ground a few times, I got to poke the robots and watch parts fall off. I never noticed that they start losing pieces like their arms and torso after a while. Neato!

Welp! Thats my adventures for the week! Keep having an awsome, amusing, April everyone! Oh, and I forgot to get a funny quote again. >_<; I even saw a few but I forgot to write them down. However! To make up for my lack of silly quotes, I have changed the music! I got a few messages from peeps asking why I don't put songs in english on here. I have a few reasons. First, if I put something on here that a lot of people already know, it's not as interesting! Second of all, I put japanese stuff on here so you guys can enjoy the music for what it is! You don't have to understand what someone sings or plays to understand the meaning behind the music. Music is the heartbeat of the soul, just dance to the beats! And since some peeps said my music was too pop-ish, here is a lil punk rock beat from the land of the rising sun! It's a little loud so watch out! This song has a kick!

Experience! You Can Never Have Enough!

Hey hey everyone! Hope you are all starting off this week fine and dandy! You gotta love spring! Beautiful weather and the plants dance in the breeze! How can you not be happy! ^^

With the help of Cyp's gloves, I was able to keep kicking booty with thief! Cyp came back so I gave em back, but I kept on going! Although campaign is nice for a little exp here and there, it sure as heck doesn't beat a good experience party! I had never been in one before, but I finally got to do a thief burn party! It was crazy~! Trick attacks, sneak attacks, regular poke poke attacks. We went all out! Although the other two thieves were outdamaging me (one of em had Maat's cap @_@;), I was pretty happy with the damage I was doing. Although Blau didn't increase my weapon skill damage by that much, I must admit my regular hits do a lot more before I have full TP.

Sadly, the thief burn party was really only made to fight birds...and we kind of had to camp on top of another group. I didn't feel too good doing it...but I must admit the other party being rude really didn't help.

Soon after my first party disbanded, Forix decided to merit a bit so I tagged along! It took us about two hours, but we finally got a skillchain! I was really surprised at how hard it was to get it right...and to top it off, the bonus damage really wasn't that spectacular. But, it was fun to get it working, and it brought back some good memories. ^^

Anyhoo! I got me some chores I gotta do. My moogle is making me do the laundry since he is doing the dishes and what not. Keep kicking booty everyone! Oh yeah! Back to funny quotes!

Dagmar - To do that, you move in the opposite direction your rod goes in.

Returning to the Dance Floor!

Anyone know what time it is!? Well erm...although my watch says its around nine, I'm pretty sure its dance o' clock! Woooo~! Get your groove on peeps! Ahhhh yeah~! Hope you are all having a good time and what not! Anyhoo! Lets get down to business!

I came back from my break relaxed and super ready to go on some adventures. While leveling Bst for a little bit, I learned Cyp was gonna have to take a break due to some personal stuff and I wouldn't see him for a bit. After talking to him for a little bit, he handed me his dusk gloves. At first, I thought he was giving them to me because he was quitting so I kept saying no. But as it turned out, he was coming back and just wanted me to take care of em and put em to good use! I was like wowy! Those gloves are not cheap, and he still trusted me with em! I was crying and sniffling due to his trust. (In all honesty, I just had a runny nose and needed something to blow my nose on. But dont tell him!) It was touching! So only after having him promise me he would come back and pick em up, I took them.

With the mighty gloves on my hands, I threw my Bst equipment to my moogle and set out to kill some mobs as thief. After recieving haste from a friendly summoner, I tore threw yagudos like a mithra at an all you can eat sushi buffet! It was super duper crazy! I was dancing from yaggy to yaggy totally kicking butt! Doing the robot at one yagudo and then moonwalking to the next, it was a dance party! I am totally going to have to save up for a pair of those gloves. They are a lot nicer then I remembered them to be. Hopefully I can grab a merit or two with the gloves. They be buff!

And....although I told myself I would keep my nose out of business...something else happened! After talking to a few of my old ls mates...and hearing about how my old linkshell had pretty much fallen apart except for a few members...I was shocked. Although I knew Strife had some problems when I left...I never thought the ls would fall apart like that. It really hurt seeing the linkshell in that state and I couldn't just sit and watch it. So yeah....although I told myself I wouldn't go back to the ls...I did. When Souel said I was stuck with him...I suppose he was right. @_@; So now I am trying to get the linkshell up and running back to its super duper kick butt self! I know...I'm not a leader and I can't do much, but I know there has to be a few things I can help out with! So watch out Vana'Diel! Strife is coming back, and this time, it's gonna be on fire!
