Nyzule Isle and Limbus. Yay!

Oooph...Once again I haven't updated the blog in quite a while. Been busy with school and trying to find a job still. And usually my free time has been filled with either the game or me just trying to catch my breath. Anyways, story time! My nzule isle static has been going strong. We actually just finished lvl 40, so we've definitely worked our ways up the ladder quite a bit already. I'm a little frustrated with how SE made it work though. Sometimes it seems like you get a set of floors that you just cannot beat within the time limit. Clear all followed by 5 chariots followed by 4 flayers? Really SE!? At least our group is very well balanced and we're usually able to take care of most floors no problem. Here's hoping to the group getting to level 100~!

The Nyzule Isle Static did a lil merit pt after one of our runs to release some stress. I hadn't merited in quite some time and it was fun letting my thf just massacre birds again.

Limbus has been going very strong. I actually have enough ABC's to upgrade the three pieces of Bst AF that I want to. Although I still need the rare/ex drops from limbus also. As of right now, I believe we're three chips away from having three omega sets. Can't wait to use em! Hopefully I can at least get one piece of equipment when we do all those runs. XD

Ifrit! Arnor, Krystala, Okwaho, and Souel all joined in for some ifrit killing action. Poor prime when down with almost no trouble what so ever. And now I'm a happy owner of an Ifrit's blade. Once I get bst finished I will hopefully be able to level blu so I can use it.

My bst is level 74 now and I have been slowly upgrading it little by little. I even went out and killed the NM so I could have decimation. Sadly rampage does better damage but at least its a fancy lookin weapon skill. Except for two upgraded relic pieces, I'll actually one of the best possible charm sets out there. So I'm pretty happy about that.

I don't even remember how it happened but SoO gathered a few peeps and we killed Charby for Krys! I know its a pretty fancy sword and all and I'm sure she will enjoy it on her pld. She's definitely turning it into quite the buff job.

Thats my little update for now. Going back to bed now...I hope everyone has a good halloween ^^. Its coming up fast!

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!

Scribbling down some thoughts

Another little update for now. I haven't really been accomplishing all too much lately. Mainly just been lazying around and talking to people. Like Yoda and Hen! I hadn't seen those two in quite some time so it was nice to catch up with them a lil during an assault run. Always nice to catch up with old friends. Speaking of old friends, a good friend of mine named Kihre appeared out of nooo where. I think she was gone for like...3 years? It was a really really long time, but randomly I saw her in qufim and she is back! Its always nice to see good people return to the game.

I've been pretty bored lately online, so been trying to do stuff to make it more interesting. Fought Draketrader with Cyp cyp. The fight was really easy though. I was actually looking up bst information while I wasn't kiting or nuking. No luck on the item for gil. Oh wells. I actually sold the cuch. mantle since I really wasn't using it and the AH price went up 400k.

Using the gil I finally got my first HQ staff. Apollo's price was going up but I decided to buy it anyway. Playing a solo job really doesn't allow you to be cheap on your equipment. With the staff and a few other upgrades though, I noticed my bst was doing a lot better. With some help from Souel, I was also able to reach 66! Maybe, I will have another 75 before the end of the year...bwahaha...who am I kidding...probrably not.

Been doing limbus a lil bit with Cyp's linkshell. Its been alrighty. I dunno...I have never won the fight against proto-omega before but I didn't find it all too exciting. The linkshell did do a great job taking it down, even with the deaths.

I've been in a little funk lately. It's like no matter what I do, I just can't find something to get me excited about the game. Hopefully I can get out of it...we'll see. Thats my little update for now. Hopefully I can enjoy the last few days of summer break.

Slowly trucking along. . .

Blearg...still trying to work myself into the habit of posting again. I really want to make sure I'm able keep this lil blog going. Its always nice to look back at fun times that you may or may not remember. @_@;; Anyhoo, nothing all too fancy has happened to me. The biggest thing to happen is I finally got blu to 60 and can finally wear the hat! Yay! I definitely need to look up more info on blu since I'm not too sure what equipment I'm supposed to be going for. . . str or int for spells? Magic attack or accuracy? Stuff like that. I suppose I'll have to put on my research hat on and find out! XD Anyways, onward to the adventures!

One night I wasn't feeling all too good and was pretty bored. Souel, aka gramps, however, knew exactly what I needed. Fighting tough mobs on thief! Our first prey was Zoraal Ja's Pkuucha. The first time him and me duo'ed, we ran into a little bit of trouble and wiped. However! We came back with a vengenge and killed the bird twice in two nights, netting the earring both times! Yay!

But Souel is not one to do something lightly. He always wants a challange. So after killing the bird one night we headed for Jaded Jody and had some crazy Malboro action. So long as utsu stays up to prevent vampiric spikes or whatever its called, the fight isn't too bad. Then again, Souel's enfeebles are what really allowed me to survive the tanking @_@;. But hey, we got the pants and we earned a little bit of gil that night. I really should thank him again...it was totally fun~!

Souel really wants some kind of cape from Sea. I dunno what the dealio is about the place since I really dont know stuff about it. But after farming for a few hours with Souel and Arnor, we finally got the mob to drop what he needed. Not the cape, but the pop item. Hopefully he gets that cape D:

Me and Cyp Cyp wanted to do something together so we decided to farm in Sea Serpent's Grotto. In reality...the gil wasn't really all that good ^^;. But it was nice to see Cyp's thief going at stuff. Still needs to work on a few things but I know he will be stronger and probrably better equiped then me in almost no time.

Actually did two sets of BCNMs but I only took pictures from the BCNM 40. Belen and Maroku were both super nice ^^. I didn't remember the fight plan on blm and I was worried I was gonna scare them off by asking all sorts of questions. However, with all the questions out of the way we safely (I think?) beat all three runs. And the group totally got lucky with both Belen and Maroku getting a utsu scroll! Although I didn't get anything I felt I at least contributed towards their's.

Also did the Kraken bcnm fight with Cyprias and...Shiu? I always mispell that poor taru's name. With rdm, blm, and cor that fight is easier then easy. I believe I was in fact reading a book and drinking tea while partaking in the fight. That poor kraken just got it's butt kicked. But I guess the fight is easy for a reason...because once again the club didn't drop. I suppose SE made the fight easy since the drop rate is only like..5%? lulz...you so crazy SE.

Well those are my adventures for the week or so. Hopefully there will be this month. This is my last month before school starts up again and I would really like to do more. Here's hoping to a good month. Oh oh, and if anyone needs a blue mage for a exp party (even level sync, I just need the exp D:) for the love of my tail, please invite me! I gotta get to 75 before Krystala does and she levels way too fast @_@;.

Bringing Back Memories

Hi hi blog. Another post, another set of stories to talk about. Strife has been going at it again in sky and sea. When we have the numbers, it definitely reminds me of the old times when we used to kick butt. One night we actually took out Mother Globe, Steam Cleaner, and the Olla triplets. Was a very fun night ^^.

Sea is something I'm still very new to. I never really got into it so I totally don't know the layout of the area or the aggro ways of the mobs. Despite my lack of knowledge, I still had a great time. We killed that Ix'Drk mob and a Jailer! Super exciting! Great job linkshell @_@b

I was in the need of gil so I tried out the bcnm50. Sadly I only walked away with 17k. However, after farming for about a week, and selling off thief equipment that I wasn't really using, I was finally able to get a cuch. mantle! The piece is definitely an endgame piece, since the str, dex, and acc are more useful during those times. I tried the mantle on EP birds and sadly the mantle preformed worse compared to amet. +1. I tried it over and over, but amazingly, the numbers stood where they were. Hopefully I'll get the chance to see them shine on some IT mobs.

I'm more ashamed then proud of this last fact...but I actually finished my corsair relic armor (not including the accessory). I mean, everything just kept going to free lots, and no one had a corsair higher then mine. I'm super shocked and humble for the set. I honestly thought I was gonna finish bst first. I hope I can continue to give my best to my dynamis linkshell, even if its red mage. @_@;

My computer has been acting up so I might be on even less. I hope everyone is able to finish their July on a happy note. I'm sorry if I'm a lil negative or quiet to anyone...I've just been dealing with a lot of stuff. Stay strong peeps.

Game Face. This time, its cereal...I mean serious.

Once again it has been a while. A whirlwind of stuff happened to me at the end of the year and it took a while for it all to clear up. I won't dwell into it, but changes have been made. If anyone wants to know more I'll be happy to discuss it in person. Anyways, I'm in the middle of changing the blog somewhat. Trying to find a better way to list the relic armor I'm getting as well as formatting the other stuff. Nothing personal, but I removed a few people off the list of blogs. I hadn't talked to most of people I removed in months. There will be other changes as well sooner or later so we'll see what happens @_@.

As the title states it, I will be getting serious again about the game. My dynamis linkshell has been nothing but amazing and I will continue to do my best on red mage for them. Strife has been reformed and although the future is hazy, I will try my best to help out the linkshell as much as possible. I was young when I first joined the ls and I don't think I realized how lucky I was to be in that linkshell until now. I hope I can help Strife in it's future, whatever it holds.

My blue mage has reached 58, thanks to a exp party and a lotta help from Arnor. It has continued to keep me interested and I look foward to exploring more and more of its capabilities as I continue to level it.

Thats my little update for now. Sorry for the seriousness of the post. I'm a little edgy as of writing this. @_@;
