Happy New Years!!!

Happy New Years everyone! I went to celebrate the new years with fireworks like any super excited person yet I accidently threw one into the water and created an evil vortex which then spawns pugils the size of galkas!!! @_@ Well not really. Just some random picture of the ocean after I helped Okwaho get a few blue mage spells. Its always nice to see improvements of people in your linkshell. Sure we don't do endgame or anything, but you don't have to in order to enjoy you and your friends get buff! Anyhoo, so much has happened lately like a crazy super flash that I already have so much to talk about!

Subligar farming! Krystala, Arnor, Kry's thf friend Rivkkah, and myself decided to go subligar farming! Despite dying a few times, I walked away with two subligars! Everyone but Arnor got what they came for. :X Its ok though Arnor! Some day you and me are gonna go in there and get you the pair of under-roo's you want! Just you wait!

Swift Belt!! KoalaPanda's run is still scheduled to occur in about two weeks or so. However, Kallo randomly asked if I would like to join him and I said sure. It was quite fun listening to other peeps make fun of Kallo (he wears pink what!?!) and I learned a lot about the NMs that I'm going to have to fight when I take my linkshell inside. Both good and bad I suppose, but out of the multiple codex's we traded, I was the only one who got a swift belt @_@;. So 1/1 on the belt. Yay~. My thf's haste set is now sitting at a comfy 20% but I might lower it to increase store TP. I had a interesting discussion with another thief and we talked about equipment and combinations that might have some interesting results! So more info on that later. Oh yes, scheduled Subligar farming is Sat. 24th of January. So keep your calendars open peeps!

Just a random picture of a NM I always wanted to see. Super duper Cassie! This was actually taken last year but I totally forgot to post it. I wasn't in the group that claimed but I sat and watched them fight it. It seemed like a very difficult battle and I learned a few things to look out for should I ever fight the thing.

Ranger leveling! I wasn't paying attention much and right when my group was gathering to begin our killing spree, I noticed Hye was in my party! She's been super busy lately with school and what not so I hadn't seen her in a while. But let me tell ya! She is one crazy good scholar. And I'm not saying that just because she cooks me delicious food which I share with my moogle. Spells and AoE's flying everywhere, its thanks to her that my ranger died less and the party got more exp. So next time you need a super mage and you see Hye online. Definitely send that cat a tell! She be buff!

Although it took me a little longer then I hoped. I finally finished leveling ranger to 75. Ranger to me definitely lost a lot of its fun towards the end. Unlike my thief which can survive tanking 3-4 mobs at once in campaign, my ranger would just get poked and fall to the ground. I never realized such low defense ranger had. It honestly is as bad as my red mage I think....@_@; Sadly, I didn't get the same feeling of reaching 75 as I did with thief. Reaching 75 on thief was a super exciting occasion which I was super proud of. Getting ranger to 75 was almost a sigh of relief. So much of the last few levels just seemed like boring repetition since they require so much experience. I'm still very happy for accomplishing ranger to 75. Ever since I looked at advance jobs as a low level thief, I always wanted to level ranger to 75. Not to use it as my super buff DD job, but more as proof of what I am capable of. So thanks for the memories ranger. You weren't amazing but you definitely had your moments!

Picture on mountains from atop the big hill thingy in Attohwa. Me and Cyp cyp tried duo'ing the Antlion ENM. It ended very badly and I wasn't too happy about it. You just can't win them all >_<;.

BCNM 60! Up in Arms! Trio'ed the fight with Eggshen and his elvaan friend. They were a very interesting pair of people. Sadly none of us got a kraken club. The drop rate for that club is rediculous. I'm definitely gonna stick to the lower bcnms.

Anyhoo, thats my huge post to start off the year! Its the year of the ox so hopefully its better then last! I'm really awful at keeping promises but heres my little list of what I want to accomplish this year!

- Finish Thief Merits
- Alchemy to 100
- Beastmaster to 75
- Corsair to 75
- Full BST AF2 and AF2 gloves for my thief

- ????

Does everyone else already have what they want to accomplish this year? ^^. Kick some butt everyone! Oh oh! And back by by popular demand (two people!), the quotes at the end are coming back!

Chat of one of my exp parties as rng:

- me: Well I'm just leveling rng for fun, my main is thf though

- pt leader: Do you store a lotta junk in your trunk?
- me: Who told you about my tail....
