Woo! First off, let me say I love my salvage linkshell. We had some rough times...with not enough peeps showing up, or a certain mob giving us trouble. But let me tell ya, the linkshell is amazing! Not only are the people in it some of the kindest I have ever met, they are all so darn good at what they do. Not only that, as the linkshell keeps doing runs, the experience and expertise of the linkshell really shows itself. Small mistakes that would slow us down or impede the whole group are instantly fixed and we just keep on truckin. I'm really thankful for the opportunity to be in the linkshell.
Anyhoo! About the mob in the picture! The NM boss that ya see is Long-Bowed Chariot...and it is one super mean mob. My salvage ls has had some tough times with it and until that picture we had never taken it down (I think @_@;). Heck, we even got it down to ooooone percent! Talk about stressful. But even such a downer as that didn't stop the linkshell as our next run we rescheduled for the boss, and kicked some booty. With the thanks of it being weakened to some pulling (I got really lucky doing so ^^;), and the super buffness of the linkshell, we finally took it down! Congrats to Hecky on the two pieces for Ares!
NMs! While me and Cyp were farming we ran into another NM! He sort of slept us and then blew us to smitherings. I got lucky and was able to deal the finishing blow, and we even got 30k to boot! Felt bad about the death for Cyp though...@_@;
Then I got to help Grandpa Souel with getting his Parade Gorget! Last time with helping Stygian the drop rate was 1/4, but amazingly we got it on the first try! Lucky for Souel too since he only brought one juice.
Anyhoo, thats my little update for now. Who knows what will happen next~!

Rawr! Ye Be Feeling Lucky?
Hello! Is everyone excited about August!? I know I am! With all sorts of stuff going on its the perfect time for exciting adventures and treasure! Like these tarutaru! I don't know what they're doing but they must be celebrating something! Go them!
Limbus! I don't know much about it. But its different! In a good way! Well its like a mixture of salvage and dynamis really...but still! Very interesting! Strife did a run in some weird Promy looking area. We started out bad with a wipe, but we were able to fight pretty far and get some treasure! I got some kind of string thingy to upgrade my AF. After peeps telling me how good the upgraded gloves are, I decided to take a look at em. They seem interesting. Very situational though. Don't get me wrong. They're probrably the best TA gloves out there. But with my eyes set on my DD and TP set, I'm not sure if I should go for em. I'm still pushing the idea around.
Pretty Qufim! With some gil saved up and bullets stocked up like a war is gonna go off. I was finally prepared to level corsair! Cyprias was having some trouble finding parties with his pup so we decided to static together. Through a few parties, we're both already to 24. Just a little bit more to go and we can go to the jungle~! Wooo! I can understand why some people see pup as a weak job since the player itself doesn't deal all too great damage. However, when you add a good puppet, the damage is as good if not better then most DD. Should be interesting to see how Cyp molds that job. o.o
With Beastmaster and Ranger taking a break, Corsair is gonna be my main leveling thingy for a while. After seeing such great corsairs like Talliah and Venussama do some amazing things, I knew I had to try out the job. Although I hate bard, the fact that you're gambling for buffs with corsair makes me love it! Who knows what numbers I will get! Will I land the perfect lucky number? Get unlucky and land on the unlucky? Should I then gamble a bust for a better boost!? Or do I dare gamble going for the all buff eleven! Another reason why I see myself taking up corsair instead of bard has to be the damage. Corsair is not really a damage dealer(mine isn't at least at this level ^^;), but it can still do some decent numbers! Can't wait to put it in some better equip and see what kind of abilities it gets.
Anyhoo! Thats my little post about stuff~! Expect to see more end game and corsair activities! Some peeps told me not to get rid of Queen. Some said go back to J-pop like I said I would stick to. However, I am instead going with another song I heard on the radio. This is now my corsair's theme song. All I can imagine while listening is kicing some booty shooting some beastmen in some kind of super shoot out. Just you watch Vana'Diel. You're gonna have one eye-popping pirate to deal with soon!

Mistakes Were Made (>_<)/
How is everyone doin? I made a few boo boo's this week. Quite a few mistakes all over the place. But first off! Somewhere where I didn't mess up! (I think @_@;). Strife went after Jailer of Temperance! He a super tough pain in the butt to find and kirr. His spawn spots are so far from each other. Anyhoo, Strife was doin pretty good until the NM went rawr and decided to use his AoE move 4-5 times in a row.
The after effect. Dead Strife mates everywhere. Oh wells! Its all good though, we know what we gotta do next time!
Sky time! The linkshell got to farm up more pop items! We didn't have enough peeps and wiped on MG, but we were able to kill Ulli! Yay! Those darn diorites don't drop enough though...sheesh!
But we fought Genbu! With Strife being being buff again, the turtle didn't even make us sweat! I used up all my TH for the week supposedly with two A hands, shield, hat, dropping. As well as a few money drops! Good times ^^/
Bleh, now for the mistakes that I made and forgot to take pictures for. Salvage~! Our run on Tuesday was very good, yet I accidently got aggro and ended up in a wipe. Although I know if I wasn't there, someone else would have gotten the aggro, it still really sucks to be the one getting it. Peeps tried getting up but got hit back down before they could get reraise back up...It was just pretty bad ^^;. Then on my last run. I kept screwing up with the cells and accidently used a few I wasn't supposed to. Bleh...sometimes you have those moments...but it was like I had a few days @_@;.
Got bored and wasted a Gration pop item. Still no luck with Odqan and once d'ced just to get back on a minute later to find it claimed. Screwed up on ENM and lost it since I forgot I didn't have two hour. Just a lot of dumb mistakes on my part...but oh wells...we all have our slumps you know? Luckly, I have the kindess and friendship of so many nice people. Even when I'm a little down they're always there to give me a hug and some kind words (Really, hugs > pat on the ass. You know who you are). Anyhoo, thats my little update. Oh yeah, a friend of mine sent me a link to a silly thing to cheer me up. It made me feel better, hope it does for you too ^^/. Heck, its a red mage and a thief! Those be my jobs! XD

Same old Faces, Brand New Places~!
August has arrived and things have kicked off like a bang! Not some little one, like a big giant firework! Yaaay~! So lets see what adventures and treasure I found! After farming for a bit, Cyprias and I got him another AF piece for his sam! Woo! Nothing as buff as his super mnk, but I'm sure he could get it up there if he wanted.
Sky Farmin! Ohhhh boy! We totally kicked butt this week. The NMs we fought gave us little to no trouble. In fact, we had one of the smoothest Mother Globe runs I've ever seen. It was really nice seeing the linkshell doing stuff again. Good times! ^^/
Zeni! Never done it before, and I still find it weird. Then again, I wasn't too happy at how expensive some of the parts were. I think I might of spent too much IS...but oh wells! Its a learning experience! We'll see what comes of it! I know there are some nice pieces of equipment for thief and what not...but...I'm not sure if I can see myself doing this all to often @_@;.
Sea Farmin! With the help of Cyprias and a little back up from Souel, I was able to farm me up a light gorget! Some peeps say its really good for Evisceration. Some say its totally not worth it! I love items that are always debated because there is usually truth to both sides! The problem I see with the gorget is my Evisceration is more crazy then ever! At first of the difference of my max/min damage output used to be about 200 damage. But now its about 400! The only problem though is only half of that is due to it going up. I still plan on messing around with the gorget and seeing how it does. It could of just been a fluke. ^^;
Bahamut fight! I awoke to Souel mumbling his crazy talk saying something about some dragon thingy needed killing. Kandy dragged him out to some fight and he wasn't too happy. His group was no where near ready so he demanded back up from the linkshell. Before I knew it, I was staring at Bahamut himself!
I don't remember him being that big, but wow! He is freaken huge! Anyhoo, the fight didn't do so well. There was a really dumb taru pld who pretty much killed Arminius and was an MP sponge for most of the fight. We ran out of time, but I honestly didn't see us winning after most of us wiped. Some of the other peeps wanted to retry, but Strife stopped it there since many of us were not happy with how it was being run. Ohh wells!
Kirin! The last thing the new Strife had yet to do in sky. We had to wait for a little bit since there was another linkshell in front of us, but it was totally worth it! The linkshell in front of has had some good friends that I got to say hi to. Talliah, Shanelle, heck, I even got to say hi to Kallo! He looks all fancy in his pink clothes and everything. If he didn't have so many nicknames, I would name him Pink Power Ranger or something. Anyhoo, we had a little trouble with the first Kirin, and we ended up wiping. However, with the help of a few more members, and the aid of a few good friends (Thanks Talliah and Talliah's taru friend!), we were able to down Kirin! Lotsa fun!Soo~! thats my adventures with the start of August! More end game stuff is on the way though. Limbus, Sky, Salvage, and maybe even Dynamis! Hope you all have a wonderful month ^^/. Now some words from a cat who might of had too much to drink XD.

Monster Huntin~!
Monsters everywhere! Lets get straight down to business. Milie was kind enough to get a few peeps and help see if we could farm a few dragon hearts. Turns out the mobs were much tougher then expected. One of them really liked spaming its AoE and after a few fights, we ate dirt @_@;. However, we all got a lil gil and it was a good learning experience. No luck with drops either though. Ohhh well.
Also got to do sky with Strife again. I screwed up while leading a group on an Olla run. We got the water right off the bat, but the three Ollas loved their AoE gravity move. I let the linkshell down...it was pretty bad >_<;. However! It was a learning experience and I plan on not letting it happen ever again!
Been farming quite a bit with Cyprias. We been able to earn a little gil and I was finally able to get me a pair of dusk gloves! With capped Ambush, and quite a few +accuracy pieces of equipment, I can finally mess around with a haste set without missing a lot now. I don't really have any special way of looking at how much damage I do per a mob, so I can't tell if a haste set is really worth it or not. Regardless, its something I plan to mess around with since everyone keeps telling me its good @_@;. But for now, I'll be happy with my accuracy and purple parachute pants.
Anyhoo, that leads me to this cluster. Been camping him in my free time since I'm sure as heck not gonna spend 300k on something I just wanna use for fun. 0/2 on it at the moment. We'll see how it goes.

Pantsless, Go Figure
Yep, It was pants o'clock. In the small alliance that we had, we got enough cells for everyone but one to wear pants. My lucky dice...were just not so lucky XD. Anyhoo, I totally deserve a kick in the rear because I freaken forgot a huuuuuuuuuuuuge thing in my past post. I was super lucky enough to get another piece of the Skadi set! A 35 piece to boot! With drop rates being no where near kind, it was actually surprising they dropped. Although I usually can't make weekday runs due to work (Darn my mog house bills being so expensive!), I have been trying to make as many salvage runs as possible. Although our group isn't that big, it is very impressive to see what the group can do. I can't wait to hopefully find some more drops for the linkshell because quite honestly, they all deserve em. Anyhoo, thats my little tiny post for the night. Have a good nite ^^/.

Giving Other's a Hand
Hi hi everyone! Gosh, the time sure flys by doesn't it? One moment I write a little something on my adventures, and then bam! More adventures to write about! So lets get to it! But first! I bought another piece of furniture for my Mog House! A cute little Windurstian Tea Set! It even comes with a basket of rice crackers! It makes my dinner table with the rest of the stuff on it...actually seem like a dinner table! If you're ever in Windurst and need a snack, my door is always open for friends! ^^
The moblin city! I hung out there for a few days helping peeps with stuff. Got to kill all sorts of goblins and bugbears in search of rare treasure. None of it for me, but all to help out some good peeps from my linkshell. Woo! And who doesn't like hunting for rare treasure. Treasure is always good!
Like helping Stygian get his parade gorget! Wooo~! He was 1/3 on it to boot! We even found him a treasure chest so he could get a map of the place. Totally made it easier for him ^^. Then I also helped Cyprias go after some Rutter Subatons! Also 1/3 on those. It wasn't that bad of a fight at all. Especially the second one since we had a large group for it due to an ENM party.
Like Tada~! At first Henita and I were gonna help yoda farm up a subligar, but due to some random mix up, we instead decided to help out Cyprias with his NM and do a ENM fight on top! The fight was super easy and we took it down no problem.
The ENM was up against a lone Bugbear. No competition I tell ya. We totally kicked its butt. No really, he does a move where he falls on his butt, and then we kicked it! @_@b He was pretty weak for being a lone NM bcnm.
Like this guy! King of the crabs himself! Souel! Hehe, juuust kidding! King Arthro! Souel asked for some treasure hunting lovin' but we had no luck with the belt. All we got was some cloth. At least it was some nice pocket gil which I was able to put into smithing!
I think there was some more stuff that I did, but I totally can't remember off the top of my head. @_@; I need to start taking more pictures I suppose. Anyways~! Keep having a great July everyone!
