Don't Stop Me Now~!

With the end of CoP, I finally got to see that famous spot of Tavnazia. It was a very pretty and fitting end I thought. ^^ But like all things, it came to an end. With new adventures on the horizon, I went out and did more stuff!

Like go back to Attohwa Chasm! I went and did the Antlion ENM fight. Sadly, everyone but me died when all three of the lesser antlions attacked. I tried to solo the main boss one but that guy was just waaay too buff for me. Was an interesting fight though. Some peeps said I did good...but it always stinks coming out empty handed.

I finally saw the bird NM everyone was talking about! I had always heard it's name being shouted in the LS but I had never seen it before. I went out and helped Arnor and Tammy take it down with little problems. Congrats to Tammy on both drops!

WotG! I haven't really done much with it but Henita needed help so I decided to aid his call! We had to fight some super tough NM orc. With Fenrir doing most of the work, the orc went down after a long strategic battle. Congrats Henita! And thanks for helping yoda!

More ENM with Cyprias and no luck with drops. Just gotta keep at it. Fish & Fist~! ^^y

Corsair! I have decided to take up another job! I really wanted to level a job that could use a gun. So my two choices were corsair and ranger. I flipped a coin seeing which job I would level and corsair won. Quite fitting I think, hehe. Anyhoo! The job has been very interesting so far and there seems to be so many different ways to play it. It is a very versatile job that I can't wait to see what it can do at the higher levels. I got quite a few tips from Talliah and Evaine so with their great knowledge, I was easily able to get the job to 20. Wooo~!


Sea. @_@/. Strife tried to take down Jailer of Faith with a little bit of trouble. I got a lil frustrated and had to walk out after the first fight before I said something stupid on my part. I know I owe the linkshell a lot...and I really have to give em my full effort. I was just in one of those grumpy moods and I really didn't want to offend someone. Just had to vent my stress so I decided to mine a bit. That didn't really help...but I am now able to make bullets @_@;. /sigh. Its ok though! I just gotta give Strife 150% next time! Wooo!

Anyhoo! Thats it for my little update. Something happened to the old music player so I went and copied Fraggles. ^^; I'm sorry for blasting music straight at ya but I can't seem to find a way to not do it. I'm not too good with the technology stuff. Anyhoo, I was chocoboing somewhere when I heard the song and loved it so much. Enjoy~!

ZNM's And Promathia! Holy Moly!

Ohhhh snap! So muuuuuch stuff in one nite! I actually did CoP first but I'm gonna talk about those later so I can first give peeps a warning.

WARNING!: If you don't want to see pictures of the CoP ending stuff, don't look below the ZNM pictures!

Ok, you have been warned. Anyhooo~! ZNM's first! Cyprias's linkshell or friends...or people he knew...were doing ZNM runs and he asked if I wanted to tag along! Although I'm not interested in actually doing the silly picture taking, I'm always up for hunting rare stuff! First up was Ob! It's some evil puppet thingy! It also reacts to moves that any pup in your alliance does. So the group was able to get it stuck in its "weak" mage form. The weak mage form being the one that hit me for almost 1.2k dmg. Thats one way to wake up! Two of the peeps didn't have luck with drops but the person who came Pup did! He even got a 200k attachment for his pup! Wowy!

Next up is probrably the toughest NM I ever fought. Not because of super crazy moves or w/e. I mean he is just plain tough to kill. He takes very little damage in the beginning and his defense is freaking through the rooof! Sure, his defense lowers as you deal more damage to him, but dealing that initial damage was uber tough. I didn't really do much either. It was all the blms. I just used collaborator from time to time and poked it a bit.

The last NM I helped with was Dea! He was cheesy cake! The bugger hits like a galka going after sausages though. Regular hits were doing 300+ and don't even mention crits. I didn't have my shadows up and I took over 1k from some move where he swings his his body in a circle. And that happened twice I think! Peeps came out with nice equip, and I came out with pictures and a little gil! Wooo!

Now for Promathia. The big P! I was very fortunate with everyone who helped ^^. You have Mr. Dagmar, always a gentleman, despite having the power to crush a taru...no a mithra, with one fist @_@;;. Then you got Mr. Souel....I gotta think of a nickname for him. I don't know how he does it, but he is able to get a group together with a snap of his fingers. He was all...hey Miry, we're getting you CoP! And I was like shwah? And before I knew it, we were in front of the BCNM @_@;. Then there is me. Go Go rdm! I remember her saying she really disliked whm, but Milie really is good at curing. Heck, she's buff at whm! Maybe she naturally has fast cast or something, I don't know. Then we got Mr. Rifu! He slices and dices! Except instead of veggies, its mobs! Last but not least, Cyprias! He doesn't need an explanation. When he's monk, stuff gets punched and dies. Plain and Simple!

First thing I noticed during the fight....the arena! Look how pretty it is! I thought avatar fights was fancy, but they're nothing compared to it! If I didn't know there was treasure to be won, I probrably would of just stood there and looked around for a bit XD. Maybe that explains why we lost the first fight. . .naaaaah~!

And look at the floor! Wooooah! I never thought I would actually get to see Vana'Diel from up there! It's so beautiful! You can even see all the bridges leading to Jeuno! Good thing none of us fell. Then again...we would probrably land on Qufim Island right there. @_@

After losing the first fight, our group was able to beat him the second time super easy! Like, I think half of us were asleep when Promy ate it. Thanks again peeps!

I very much liked the ending. They closed up pretty much every story. The three mithra's defintely take the cake in my book. You could totally feel the "best friends forever" between em! Very touching! Then for my least favorite would be the darn taru children. Who they calling ugly!? Anyhoo, I got me ring! Super sexy Raja's! Then I did the fight again with Fraggles! My name was the record holder for both 8-3 and 8-4. o.O;; We will see how long thats last. Woo, well what a busy night. Have a good one peeps!

Me: Mee - tee - orr?
Souel: Mee - tee - tail.
Me: >_>

Undead, I hate em!

Look at that galka dance! There is my buddy Dagmar doing the Moogle shuffle while we waited for the next pull! Or maybe it was a replacement. Anyhoo, Dagmar and I got to merit for a little bit. Lets just say I hate flies when I'm the main cure-er-er. Cursed sphere!? Ridiculous!

Bah, the pictures didn't come out as good but here are a few pictures of Strife taking down Xolotl! I couldnt get a picture of any of the peeps because no one was staying still! Heck! All I got in the picture is Xolotol and the antlion pet @_@;;;

But it was super fun! Sotose and Bane were throwing pets (and Sotose's friend came later but I forgot his name). Souel and Rifu kited Xolotol's pets as best as they could and did a pretty good job. Me and Lilyoda just tried to keep everyone alive. @_@; It was a super tough battle with everyone running and it lasted quite a while. But wooo! We took it down! And didn't get a single item....not even a crystal....darn undead! You're so stingy!

Welp! We will see what the rest of the week holds. Have a good one everyone ^^.

End of June

Bleh, I'm sorry peeps. I've said I would be updating more but I've been so busy doing stuff! Like getting merits! I actually haven't gotten many, but I do have a few funny stories! Like the picture above! I had a party of japanese tarus! Well only 3 of em, but they were all the damage dealers XD. Super fun time watching the lil guys do all the muscle work. But yeeeah....I still got a lot of merits to go. But its all good though! Although my thief isn't the buffest, I really do notice it getting a little stronger each week. ^^

My linkshell had a KS30 run! I even got a D ingot out of it! Some nice *clink clink* from something I wasn't expecting much from. Oh yeah, I also got raise sickness on a silly treasure chest in there...bleh...so embarassing...I felt really bad too, since I kind of had to sit out for the other runs due to me be weakened...I just gotta keep on working and helping up the linkshell as much as I can!

Then I did a little campaigninging. Check out that siege tower! Holy moly that thingy was big! Killed a bunch of peeps too. Craaaazy! All three nations have been under heavy attack lately. In fact, last time I checked Bastok was actually being attacked in the actual nation. Windurst has being doing good and we have been able to hold them off in Saru. Hopefully we can keep them there ^^;.

I've also been doing a little stuff to the side, but I'm not sure if its concrete yet. I'll tell later if it all works out. Oh yes, and sky should be picking up soon again. Hopefully we can start to get things rolling smoothly. ^^ Anyhoo, see you all in July peeps! Gotta kick some booty!

More Good Stuff

Woo! More Good Stuff! I hope June is treating everyone well! I know I'm having a blast during the warm months of summer! ^^ Lately, I have been busy with two things. Salvage and meriting. First things first! Salvage! I messed up super duper big time on a past run. My reraise was down and as the main healer...I accidently ate dirt. No one else had raise (at the time) and I totally thought I was just gonna lay on the ground for a bit. Soooo, I Hp'ed...then I was reminded that my body would warp floors with the group and they could raise me once they got the proper light bulb thingy. Uhhh....ooops? Yeah...I felt pretty bad for screwing over the group...and I'm pretty sure I acted immaturely. Just one of those days >_<;. However! I hopefully made it up a little by trying my best in the last salvage. Hm...maybe I should buy everyone cookies or something...that might work...

Anyhoo! I forgot the wing of salvage we were doing but we were fighting a bunch of pirates! I only died once, so I was pretty happy! We only fought...one NM and the boss I believe...not sure...anyhoo, the NM was super stingy and didn't drop a single piece of equipment, boooo!


I'm pretty sure I had fought the boss before, Long Armed Chariot or something I believe. Anyhoo, the linkshell's experience really shows! They killed the bugger with little to no trouble. He has a move called Brainjack that he uses over and over that charms people. Pretty fun watching peeps chase down other peeps trying to whack em upside the head. Anyhoo, we the chariot pretty fast but sadly we ran out of time before the items were lotted for and taken. >_<; Its alrighty though, there is always next time!

Yarp! That sums it up for my salvage adventures of late. Keep having a wonderful time peeps!

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 ^^;

Crazy Adventure Time!!!

Holy catfish! What a great way to end May and enter June! I had soooo many adventures I know I am gonna have trouble remembering them all! Bst, Thf, Rdm. I got to do something will all of em! It was crazy!!! Anyhoo! Lets see what I was up to!

First off, Cyprias's salvage ls is back up and running! Wooo! I can't make some of their runs due to my classes at... the Windy ... School of...Crayfishing, but when I can make it, its super fun! We didn't have much luck with all the NMs killed. However, I still found a pair of gloves needed for the skadi set! Thats only 12 more pieces to go for the whole set! Woo! ^^. Congrats to everyone who got stuff!

I had tried many times before, but I had little luck with the NM fight for the Bst pants in the past. This time my buff friends Arnor, Frag, and Hye came out to help and we kicked booty! Hye said Frag was gonna eat dirt and whammo! He did! I really do think Hye has some kind of mystical powers to tell the future. o.o Thanks you three! Couldn't of done that fight without ya! Oh! With the pants in hand, I was able to get Bst up to 60! It was super fun leveling at that bomb camp but I think I am passed the level for that camp now. I plan on taking a small break from Bst for a bit though since I leveled it for like a few weeks straight. I mean gosh, I gotta take a bath! Hanging out with beetles and bats are not good for your hygiene.

More Team Fist and Fish! Me and Cyprias really have the fight down like clockwork now. Don't get me wrong. The fight is still super fun! Especially since so much is going on at once. It really is one of those fights where for the whole time you're sitting on the edge of your seat biting your lip wondering if you can pull it off. Again we had no luck with treasure, but me and Cyp will totally find it! I know we will!

I totally forgot to take pictures of it, but me and Arnor went out and tried a ENM! It wasn't that hard at all! Arnor pretty much just kicked the mobs butt to death while I cheered him on with a few buffs here and there. But yeah, I did take a picture of a big tree while we were running to the fight area. Just look at that thing! You really don't see too many big trees like that in other parts of Vana'Diel. Like...ones you can stand next to and stuff. The Sanctuary doesn't count. Those trees are too big XD.

KS30! The place where treasure is rarely found! Since I was lucky enough to earn a few seals while leveling Bst, I tried my luck out at KS30. Dirtman and Dirtgirl are really nice peeps so when I heard them do a shout for it, I thought...heck! Why not! I came out with a super tiny bit of treasure, but it's better then nothing!

Souel is leveling Blm so he can nuke the bugger out of stuff, but he was having trouble farming spells. So me, Kandy, and Milie went out and helped him farm em up. I was able to get a few skill ups while we were farming in Gustav Tunnel, but the Yagudos were just getting their butts kicked waaay too fast for me to do much. Congrats on the scrolls Souel!

I had so many adventures I really did forget to take a lot of pictures. Like Cyprias helped me farm some stuff that I needed from Misareaux Coast. Super fun just relaxing and punching stuff with a friend. Especially when you don't have to worry about shadows. Yay Cyp's /dnc!

I got to do a few more assaults with Souel and Kandy. I even got my...oh yeah...I actually still need to finish the quest so I can get to T4 assaults. Totally forgot about it til now. Oops! I'll have to go back to that.

I know I am probrably forgetting stuff...but when you're running around doing so many adventures, sometimes it becomes a blur you know? Welp! If I remember anything, I'll be sure to post it! Lets make this June an amazing month peeps!

Frag: Hey guys!
Henita: Fragtastic!
Me: No no, its fragalicious.
Henita: Oh right, cause his body stay vicious.
