Up's and Down's

Hey everyone! How are you all? June sure is going by fast. So fast in fact, I haven't been keeping up with my updates! So lets catch up! First things first! I ran into a NM dragon, the one above, and decided to try to take it down. After a few tells and ls chats, Kallo, Frag, Rael, Scottie, Forix, and Kallo's friend showed up. We didn't have much luck due to the NM hitting hard and a link here and there so we wiped a few times. I had to go since I was running late for class (my moogle would kill me if I didn't go), but I found out that the peeps killed it later but had no luck with the drop. Thanks for coming out everyone! I owe you all a crayfish dinner!

For those of you who don't know, Cyprias kills a lot of NMs. Not no week NMs. He kills the big ones! Like the ones that require a lot of peeps and the treasure be rare. I don't remember why all too much, but he invited me to help kill Xolotl! I never saw the thing before and I really like having pictures of NMs. So I ran out and after waiting for a little bit, tada! It popped!

I was really more interested in how cool the thing looked! I had never seen a mob like that before! It was huuuge too! I wasn't doing too much dmg to it, but Cyprias kicked its butt while the rest of the group took care of links and kept me and Cyp alive.

Just look at that NM! It even has a giant staff thingy and everything! Heck! That staff is taller then me...with O-hat on! Sadly, Xolotl didn't drop anything, but I had a great time and it was nice to meet some new peeps. Thanks again Cyprias!

There was a random shout for a limbus run in Whitegate one day. I had never done an actual Limbus run before, so I thought, why not! It was really interesting to see all the strategies used on all sorts of different NMs and mobs. We found a few items to upgrade AF+1 but I didn't ask for any. Instead, I got a few Ancient Beastcoins! (ABC's for short, hehe). You can buy some nice things with em and I would really like a brutal earring for my thief. Cyprias was kind enough to sell a few more to me at a good price. Hopefully I can do a few more runs and get that brutal earring. Seems very very nice!

Arnor had gotten the ToD for Simurgh so he invited me and Milie (Rifu) to help kill it! I forgot his name but Arnor's friend was there as well. I hadn't fought Simurgh in over two years so it was really fun fighting him! Heck, the last time I fought him it was in a HNM ls and we had trouble taking him down with an allaince! This time, we easily killed him with just 4 people. I was very impressed with everyone. Great job peeps!

Assaults! I'm currently in a static group with Kandy and Souel and we have been going at it with assaults to get us some nice equipment. I'm going after the Pahluwan set since some of the pieces are very useful for thief. We decided to try a new one called "Shooting Down the Baron." Pretty much you have to kill an NM Imp. The only problem is that every 25% HP it loses or so, it teleports somewhere else on the map. Luckily Kandy went Smn so Carby chased it down most of the times. However, the Imp was down to less then 2% Hp and it warped with Carby dead. Oh snap! And we only had 5 minutes left to boot! So the three of us ran all over the place to find it. Luckily I ran into him pretty quickly. Souel and Kandy were a little distance away and after slipping up on accident, I mistakingly used chainspell. Luckily I had a lil bit of MP left so I nuked the bugger til he flew no more. It was super fun! I can't wait to see what assaults we do. ^^

Saaaaalvaaage! A super duper fun activity! I went Rdm this time since we were short on mages. It was really fun fighting a bunch of NMs in there. The linkshell really has their stuff down for most of em. We were even able to kill a chariot I believe. Sadly, the mobs have been very stingy and we haven't gotten many drops from em. Oh well, there is always next time~!

From time to time, I have tried my luck going after a nice dagger for my thief. I haven't had much luck with it before due to me not being able to wait after the three hour window. Luckily, I had a little bit of time and I settled to finish the score once and for all. The first time I died trying to solo it and wait for back up. Second time I went to sleep since I had a really long day. But the third day! Oh, it was definitely go time.

With the help of Souel and Cyprias we were able to to get the claim and kick the darn bird's butt. Despite the nasty Stormwind x3 it does, we were able to hold our ground and kill it. It dropped the super sexy dagger to boot! Thank you so much you two! The dagger is craaaazy good since the wind effect happens every time.

Last but not least! ENM time! We suffered an embarrassing defeat last time when I failed to convert and we ate dirt. Me and Cyp cyp went in this time. And we were super serious. Like war paint and everything! And oh man, the mob's didn't even stand a chance! We had no luck with drops, but what can ya do. But woo, it felt good getting revenge. I can't wait to do it again.

Thats all I can remember at the moment. I'll be trying to do more posts so I don't forget as much. I also had a funny quote but lost the paper I squibbled it on. Phooey...sorry about that peeps. Have a good one ^^;
