Disappeared for a reason…

Since I wrote this in Livejournal, some of you know already the reason I “apparently” disappeared is because I got all my domains and FFXI related sites banned at my workplace (surprisingly, Wiki is still accessible). Honestly, that really killed me inside, since I was used to write posts from there, between a line of code and another (I’m a web developer)
Not really going through a good period of life -again-; afraid to get another crappy project work contract, had some car accident and other things <.<

About the “fun” side, which is of course, FFXI, I can say I kinda whored some stuff and tried tanking more enemies x.x;
Kirin, Ultima, more stronghold NMs, more Dynamis. Really makes me happy, especially because I see I’m doing little better, even tough my little HP and the “Utsusemi has not effect” due lag don’t really help at all.

Epic lotwhoring of the last month or so.

Lost lot on Nashira feet (which is not a big issue since I don’t get many resists with my current full elemental set on, and of course, merits) and finally managed to complete Morrigan’s  feet since Bhaflau totally refused to drop Nemain’s during my runs. About time!
Actually 3/5 on Morrigan (legs and head left) and 4/5 Marduk (fucking Dekka).
Lotted p.Hands for the lulz and those m.Feet makes me 4/5 Koenig, missing “only” Cuirass, too bad Odin doesn’t like to drop it. He luvs ebodies.  I’ll most likely get Valhalla breastplate first!
And 3/5 on Sorcerer’s +1. Missing crapga like body and feet, stuff I won’t obviously upgrade ever. Dynamis-Tavnazia been really kind with me! :3

And not only with me actually. Got a total of FOUR Hydra pieces (Saw a salade I passed, since I have already Assjammer and might get some Bahamut mask soon) and various other AFs, like MNK head, Valor surcoat and BLU legs -1! Gratz Kerb, Matix and Amina respectively!
Finally some good luck.

I’ll try to post more at home, killing a little of my playtime. I can’t let this blog die, since it’s like a part of me :(

Failed solo attempts but cute rings!

Got drunk (not really) and decided to attempt soloing Diabolos….well I guess I should really wait to have my old connection back.

Got it to 15% at best, then I lagged and died. What awesome luck.
I admit i panicked more than enough, and first time I even forgot some buffs.

Basically, enter, Reraise, food, and all possible protective and useless spells you have. Stoneskin, Blink, Aquaveil, En-something, Ice spikes (it actually kicks in good enough), Regen (brought Selbina milk as backup, And yeah, I wasn’t using Sorcerer’s), Protect, Shell, Phalanx, Bar-somespell, Barsleepra and finally, Poison potion. Could have probably used Yag’s drink as well but oh well.

Massive protection because Diabolos spam Dispel, and the last thing you want to get broke is Stoneskin. Just like BRD’ Maat: the more useless stuff to dispel, then more chances to me to win. But I failed :(

I’ll probably try again if some friend is willing to come/lend me account to R3 myself if I fail.

Tanking DM' Elvann

Done Divine Might for the fourth time.
I actually changed earring this time, I threw my suppa but I still haven’t get my new reward yet.
I am very, very, very undecided between Abyssal and Knight’s.
Extra shield skill is always welcome, and on BLM i have already enough Dark Skill. Sch is ok as well. BUT! I will go for DRK next, so uhhhhh!
Graeson will kill me if I pick Knight’s :( Kerb will if I pick Abyssal! What a horrible choice x.x;

This time I had better job to do, hold the hume! Was really easy task to do, and while people were busy killing it, I had to hold that horrible Elvaan as well, since previous tank (which it will stay unnamed !) died to some huge Spirit’s Within.

I love this bc, too bad is not difficult anymore like it was some years ago.
And we beat up record, and we even wasted some time inside refining tactic and positioning so…

PLD getting better!
Now I can actually tank Ixion (did nice last time!), got shinyz Homam Manopolas, bought Sinfender (which is actually nice in stuff like Dynamis, paired with Paramount earring!), Louhi mask (I don’t care what people say but I keep thinking it’s a nice idling piece) and this…

Magnified for who can’t read. And yeah, since I’m not sure if I clarified it enough i got THIS:

SHADOW RING! SHADOW RING! SHADOW RING! SHADOW RING!
I could keep spamming this for much, much longer because that was really very appreciated since Dynamis been very evul with me lately (still no Argute stuff ;;) and I had really no clue I had chance for that <.<!
THANK YOU D:! Still shocked and all hyper.

Been “wasting” some time doing Moblin Maze Monger.
Made some mules in order to farm marbles quicker, now we’re able to build proper boss BCs!

Current equipment we aim to is Gnole Torque. That means we have to kill that horrible Rabbit of Doom!
Got a bit butt hurted in the first runs, but then we all learned to /nin, stun at right time and go with a sleep order.

1/7 so far, thanks alot to Dangerousdj to pass it to me x.x; Still have to get a couple of those awesome neck piece, then I’ll most likely build a maze for Mamool Ja earring.
MMM is absolutely awesome, it’s like ZNM witouth the horrible picture part!

Finally done a zerged Bahamut, for the first time. We always killed it in the good ‘ol way; BLMs and straight tank. It’s not bad, just makes me insane after the third fight…
Bahamut Zagnal and Staff dropped off two runs, definitely not bad even thought I wanted the mask! And I’m still passing the SMN item, since I rarely play the job and other people will put that to better use.

Limbus been kind to me, and I say about time! Finally got the chance to lot BLM temenos items, and upgraded hands. And I guess I’m done with this job. No reason to HQ’ stuff like head or legs, since the hMP has been replaced by better stuff.
Also haxed recent Ultima and Omega drops, Homam Manopolas (like I said before) and Nashira Manteel! I look soooo cute with that, and, RED! Really impressed none but me wanted that. Oh well x.x!

Finally finished the “Comfy couch” pic. And started another one which is horribly horrible and I won’t finish because too many details are messy and I have no idea how to fix them.
Apparently I’m again in the “art” mood, now lesse how long it gonna last!

And finally. Salvage set started! About damn time.

December recap.

Quick post with like, no words, because I have so many stuff to show off (I fail so much because I promised I would have never do this again) and some nice screens!

After the patch, Kerb was able to get his Benedight coat. So cute!

Vrtra kill! I was in adds ally, not bad since I did this fight as SMN before.

I tanked Sandworm, wasn't really bad. But I still DO suck at the job.

For more Dark Magic skill! Coins are as expensive as a lung tho!

For Chivalry Macro. Too bad I still have to unlock that ability. Oh my.

More INT and fancier bodypiece to rest on, I’m such a fashionable person.

More lotwhoring

Think I almost fall from chair when I got mantle and homam feet! Really made me happy!
Homam are definitely a HUGE boost and I find tanking less difficult. Now only two pieces to go, too bad we have HORRIBLE luck regarding pants drop ; ;!

Epic TH and random stuff

Also: I’m currently 10 Imperial wootz ingot out of 12 for morrigan body, and I’m farming a lot to get Jailer of Fortitude pops! Even tough the torque never drops/exists, but whatever! And finally got Scholar 75! And got WHM’s Nyzul WS Mystic Boon.

Salvage! Set is about to start in a couple weeks, if you need any info, please /tell.
Me and Kerb are finishing writing rules and everything, I can’t really wait to do it again! Best event ever no doubts. Still missing it so much.

Failed updating recently again, I’m sorry! Will try to post again couple times a week like old times… and belated merry X-mas and happy New Year folks!

Magic plans! And hiddens abilities.

The final blow to Apocaliptic Beast that lead to awesome drops. My TH > YOU!

I’ve been having horrible power/electricity problem recently, problems that are killing my fun in FFXI so badly, forcing me to “start to play” around after 11 P.M. or so. Where am I living, 3d world country ?

Despite everything (Internet contract was about to be gone too), I managed to get through Dynamis last Tuesday for the whole run ˜ Buburimu!
The run itself…..went kinda bad, with not so comfy and cute fights, and very very poor AF rain (‘cept our usual WAR stones and RNG -1) and of course, no Valor Capes at all, not surprised!

But huh, after this run I realized I have some hidden TH! Or I just have used it all at once.

HA! 4×100.
We never saw any single 100 drop. Ever. Totally a win and that made the run worth!

Event wise, CoP is still going fine and without any problem. We went on Oreo 2/2 and about to do Sacrarium. Sadly I didn’t take any screenshot, so I have really nothing fancy to show and my friends haven’t posted anything from it yet or they just don’t blog!
I’m a little scared about next mission: Keremet, Mariselle and my bad ability to move into that zone, I hate it! I guess I’ll handle the “navigation” part to Kerb, and hopefully some other people who are going to help/need the mission will join us!

He's soo cute... now, where are Mantra PCs?

Been keeping doing Windy past missions. Was thinking to give up and go to Sandy to get Iron Ram gear easier but I guess I can wait, mostly because I don’t even like the elf city and NPCs/storyline about it. Shantotto alone is worth the whole Windurst side!
I’m done with the “Save the warrior mithra in distress” sidequest, aka the one you have to kill stuff inside a BC while you have to keep alive Romaa who has a very very crappy defense, jumping easily from 80% to 20% HP. And apparently all those new BC areas+lot of NPCs makes me lag so badly I could only sleepga once, but thanks god I was with other three good players (Tiyha, Edenie and Kerb) who managed to finish everything with ease!

Leveling, actually leeching in sea is fun!

“Almost” done with Scholar.
I am something around 70 and only 5 levels to go, levels that are probably going to raise up real fast, since manaburn parties are your friends, and I was thinking to randomly join real merits with an “outsider” botted RDM for haste, for the most possible exp i can get!

Leeching isn’t bad either, but I am still useless in sea, cept weather gasm for BLMs and some cool stuff ; I’m getting extremely addicted to Accession and Manifestation because of this:

Gonna be absolutely win at Dynamis, especially in places such pulls in Xarcabard at final line, when you have an undefined mass of BLM, WHM and PLD mobs to dispose of. In Mount Zhalyom I can nuke “decently”, and my top score is lucky 777!

My goal is getting 75 before or around X-mas, and then starting my evil plan to gather gils for Morrigan coat, next thing I’m aiming to. Selling tarubabies could be a viable options, but I do have couple of ideas to earn money, besides doing some merc stuff and finishing to burn all single seal I have in Kraken Club BC.

And, despite I promised I wouldn’t talk much about my lottings, I can’t really hide at all my happiness for getting Sorcerer’s Petasos +1! One of the items I was really hoping to get my hands on!

Update talking in future posts, quite tired and at work at the moment! But by saying that tuxedos are so damn awesome and SCH AF2 and AF1+1 is fapworty, I’ve basically said everything.

Salvage. Currently discussing and creating rules, gonna sum em up soon and start gathering some people for set as soon as possible. Will start in January no doubts.

Extends are your friends

Kerb is usually the one who one shot First Xar extension. But he wasn’t there and someone else had to do it… and thought, why not ? Had some other BLMs with me for a sync or something but since I’m an idiot I went to nuke by myself with no warning at all x_x

And, somehow, I made it. Not even lightning day x.x Now I only need to learn nuking from the correct side and avoid dying right after! Guess that will be the easy step ;)
This really made my day :3 /blmwhoring /selfego etc but who cares! This is my blog!!
