Swamped with stuff, but in a good way.

Ack! I finally noticed I haven't posted in a while. School, ffxi, and this awful on and off fever have kept me really busy. Luckily, even though I forgot about an adventure or two, I have pictures to remind me of em! But I don't need a picture to remind me of adventuring with Okwaho. We were going for a blu spell with him and I brought up the amazing idea to try the Arrapago Reef. However, a lil whiles in, Mr. Galka learned that soulflayers are true sight and everyone died. After Souel came and raised us, and running around the place looking for the correct mob, the group decided to go outside and just stick with those mobs. Sure enough, after a few fights Okwaho got Hysteric Barrage. I'll have to remember on blu to just stick with the mobs outside as well.

Souel has been wanting a Dark Pact for a while so I've been helping him try to farm it a few times. Thank's to Arnor's super sam, the farming went like...2000 times smoother. Amazingly, it was getting pretty late and I told the both of them that I was gonna have to call it a night after the next demon. Right before the mob died I yelled at it and told it to drop the scroll and sure enough, it did! Wooo!

Been doing the mammet ENM with Arnor and it's been pretty easy so far. In fact, we even do another quest along the way for an extra exp scroll. You never knoew when ya need an extra exp scroll! I haven't gotten anything fancy from the ENM yet, but I know sooner or later, something big is gonna drop.

A random NM me and Cyp Cyp ran into when running to the Brothers NM. We jumped on it when we saw it was a NM hoping it would drop something good. Once we realized it dropped only junk, Cyp slept it and we went on our merry way.

A better picture of the giant dragon gaurding the super rare snow up there. I know that dragon is hiding something important, I just gotta find out what.

Salvage! Um...its exactly like I remember it honestly. You get a bunch of cells, you work your way up to the boss, and then you win some, you lose some. I kind of messed up scheduling my classes and lab around salvage...but I'm hoping once my work schedule settles down, I can make the runs more frequently.

Got to exp in an imp exp party consisting of two bst and two smn. It was actually really fun! And unlike the last party, it was actually super efficient! I also got to become a duo partner with the other bst. Although my schedule has been super busy, I hopefully can duo with him and get some decent exp....hopefully.

And here is a random picture of a besieged group visiting me while I was soloing some colibri on bst. Bst has been super duper awesome lately and I'm enjoying the job immensely. I leveled it to 70 and I'm really hoping to get it to 75 before the end of the year. There is still a few pieces of equipment that I need to hunt down but it's coming along very nicely.

Thats a little post for now. Here's hoping to more awesome pictures and hopefully a less sneezing person!

Summer Blitz!

Oh gosh. I haven't posted in quite a while again @_@. Been super busy both online and off. School has started and I'm on campus for most of the day. And when I am not, I'm usually busy now doing stuff with people. Which is totally super fun and awesome! Mr. Beard totally had a great idea to get more involved with the community and I am trying my best to. Campaign isn't really one of them, but I thought a picture showing everyone who died from a 2K AoE from a yagudo bard was pretty funny. Stupid birds...

My beastmaster is now comfortably sitting at 68! I'm really hoping to get it up to 75 before the end of the year. I know there are many awesome things I can do with the job and I have my fingers crossed that the good bst solo camps are not taken all too much. Come on beastmaster! You can do it! Anyhoo, with the help of Souel and Cyp, I was able to get me some rutter sabatons! My bst's ws set is now sitting above 40 str at 68 so I'm pretty happy with it. The slow on the boots kind of stink, but the added damage is nice. I'm still wondering what most bsts use for feet when it comes to TP though. I'll have to do more research!

Cyp cyp and me have added another ENM to our rotation! The brothers one! Although the trip to get the item to get in is definitely a pain, it is always nice to see the resident dragon just lazying around. I mean...what kind of dragon just gaurds...a bunch of snow? ;>_>

Although we had trouble the first time with the fight, Cyprias and me have been able to duo the ENM twice with little problems. I'm sure once we get more acustomed to the mobs and what not, we will definitely kick a super ton of butt. Here's hoping for some major gil!

Arnor wanted some healing insurance on the mammet ENM fight so I agreed to help him out! We had done the fight a few times in the past and getting to the darn fight was harder then the fight itself. Sheesh! Neither of us got anything fancy from the fight but we both know stuff is just around the corner @_@;. And we will get it. On a super lucky note, Arnor spoted the NM bat outside of the zone and we totally jumped on it. We got both the cloak and the earring to boot! So super good job to Arnor for spotting the bat, because I embarassingly ran by it without even noticing. orz...and I call myself a thief.

Multiple people have told my ranger is pretty helpful in endgame stuff so I decided to try to put together a mediocre TP and WS set. I think my TP set is pretty good but my WS is definitely lacking many spots. Anyhoo, hearing a bunch of shouts for Nyzul Isle, I decided to join a few runs. And with super duper luck, one of my runs had 5 people going for Askar or Goliard and only me going after Denali. I crossed my fingers and my tail, and amazingly the Denali Jacket dropped! I know it's no Kirin's Osode, but I'm hoping it acts as a decent substitute for my ranger's weapon skill set. It definitely does more then the ranger's AF. I'm not really too sure what I should hunt down now, but I'm sure farther down the road I can get my ranger looking decently spiffy. Its no super decked out ranger, but hopefully the damage delt by it will be sufficient.

I hadn't been to dynamis in a while due to time conflicts with school and family, but I did get to go to a Dynamis Xarcabard and a Dynamis Beau.! And with more luck I got the ranger boots! Sorry Bane, I know you wanted them but I'm working on my ranger also D:. Besides, you're ranger is already better then mine so stop staring at it! I'm still quite a whiles away from getting my thf gloves...but at least I'm slowly progressing.

The final picture for tonight is a picture of a 6 beastmaster experience point party I joined. Sadly the party was more novelty then efficient and I think with the tabs we were only getting about 4k an hour. Even worse, the taru leader turned out to have an attitude problem and just walked away from the party. It wasn't our fault the experience was awful. Anyways...I still thought the idea of one monster having to fight against 12 different oppenents was funny. Those poor raptors didn't even stand a chance. I'm most likely going to have to solo myself to 75.

Thats my big update for now. I'm actually gonna be out of town for a while so I hope everyone starts out their September really well. Don't forget people, smiles!
