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.

Nothing out the ordinary

I kinda lost the usual FFXI groove recently, going sleep at regular times and skipping some events, which is something I considered absolutely unacceptable till few time ago. Basically it’s real life going in the worst way ever, I’d fire myself at work but I cant because my family needs my contract to stay in our house.

Anyway, enough boring non-game talkings, but unfortunately I haven’t done anything interesting in the past days. After AV nerf it was all QQ’ng and sets (Nyzul and Salvage) getting destroyed, finding me asking why I keep playing (hardcore) and getting emo… so yeah, “life” hasn’t been good in game also.

Got some minor accomplishments~ But sorry I don’t have any picture since I’m at work and my USB pendrive failed so horribly.

Scholar 53! Can finally randomly …..leech from Kerb in sea.
Not to mention that Level Synch is definitely the most awesome thing that SE did from…probably CoP?
Being able to party whenever you want with LS people, regardless of your current level, and skip that nasty 45-60 is a dream!

Upgraded Choral Cannions (had mats since forever, was either toss or use them, needed inventory space) and got BLM AF2 hands -1 in last Dynamis… tried to buy 28 Windy currency but NO ONE was selling them in Rolan last night. Oh well, need to get those before Sunday anyway.
Trying to get Glamour Jupon (have subligar for ages) but I got incredibly unlucky and I need to wear Silk slops which those are never on AH.

Started COP set for Kogenta and other friends. We managed to do an awesome Holla clear and we’re about to do both Mea and Dem this week! I can’t wait to get outta there for some Phomiuna fun, want to try some mad strategy that popped into my mind :3- And apparently I’ll have to tank from cap 40 for all missions x.x;

Made new layout for blog...about time. Apparently previous one wasn’t appreciated by most people. It’s already…. version six. Ow, this blog is actually old, being up for two whole years and some spare months.

Little souleater story. I should make a page about past version maybe, sometimes is nice to look back~
And yes, screenshots are chronologically in order. My most favourite are indeed #4 and #6 (current one), and my least favourite is probably… eheh #1. First try ever on Wordpress also~

I really hope to feel better soon. I am sick of this, living just to hold to the weekend. And not talking about “woo-hoo, cant wait for sat = FFXI!!!” but I have enough of all shit happening at work and everything related. Anyone has a job for me? I can bring cookies :(

Absolute Virtue, what happened.

Absolute Virtue was patched, we came, we equipped our weapons and killed it. Easy? Well, kinda.
My linkshell doesn’t have at the moment enough DRK zerg power to kill it down (not like it matters anymore) and our leaders decided to team up with another good linkshell, Novorsa.

I found myself tanking Jailer of Love. Which is something I actually love (well, I just ADORE it), mostly because of the RDM subjob!
Nothing out of the ordinary there, just the same good ‘ol spamming stuff for hate, and die for JoL 2hour. Just had to hold that thing for few minutes at low percentage while Graeson, Amina, Hoss and other DRKs were getting ready with songs, rolls ‘n stuff. We killed ally leaving only tanks and BLMs in to let them kill JoL, and keep melees hate free.

Everything but DRKs and a WHM in each party joined the zergfest. That means no fancy title for me :(
I was healing people from outside ally (I literally had 4-5 /ma “Cure IV” playername) and the whole zerging was going awesome.
But unfortunately, we screwed up a couple of stuff (early Drain IIs and most important, a missed Benediction due lag) and first try ended like this.

What sucks most, is that we wiped at 1%. Yes, ONE FUCKING PERCENT. Matix tried a desperate EES but damage wasn’t enough for the kill :(
It just sucks I couldn’t do anything, and since too much time passed since we engaged, we obviously couldn’t recover. Sucks to be us.

Second try, same strat. Me-Cyn-Terny poke JoL, hold it a bit and then make BLMs kill. Absolute Virtue pops, DRKs gets their drains and buffs and they go. And apparently, the strat worked perfectly on our second try ever.

Absolute Virtue DEAD! FIRST KILL ON RAGNAROK!
I know it’s quite late to post this, but I’m still excited for that fight. My only complain/whine is not being able to get “Virtuous Saint” title ; ; I guess next time I’ll get it! (when players will fight another working strat in 783438 years)

Drops? Bellona’s, Mars’s and Raphael’s Rod. Three. Yeah three. And sucks the fact it wasn’t our pop.
What does that mean? We killed AV but got nothing to show off :( Even a stupid rod would have been enough!

SquareEnix is such an asshole to players right now, patching AV again after a single mere week.
Why? Because they don’t like zerg? Then why they let us zerg Dynamis Lord. Or King Vinegaroon. Meh.
I was really happy because it was finally killable, and besides items and everything, the whole teaming thing with NO was awesome. Linkshells working together to fulfill something is great imho. And, isn’t the base concept of Final Fantasy itself, with the whole friendship blah blah thing ?

Anyway, we kinda left our toughts from Absolute Virtue right now, and been focusing a bit on past NMs and Pandemonium Warden (we got a pop set!) But i guess that will be next post’s main thread!

Hellday is now playing on Dukefleed character while waiting to have his old taru back. Since he wasn’t able to make it in time for an Einherjar run, he asked me to get him the clear.
Well, I got kinda tempted to play/try a melee job (Ridill WAR), since it was a lolT1 chamber and had a big amount of people anyway. And I did.

I think I’ll never level a melee. At least, WAR doesn’t really fit me. It’s……….. boring. Extremely boring.
And seeing my HP dropping w/o being able to do anything is an horrible feeling! The only jobs I could ever raise could be only DRK DRG and THF probably, mostly because they look more “active” battle wise and got better unique stuff. Don’t get offended you proud melee guys ;(
All jobs above can be a real viable option, since by then I’ll have some homam, but it’s not the time to even think about this! I resumed leveling SCH last weekend (thanks Grae!) and I’m 46 and some exp. Yay :3~

Ok, that was totally unexpected o.o I mean.
We were waiting for our AV “date” and Ami just traded me out of nowhere. “Oh cool” I thought “He’ll probably trade me those HQ Coral legs for JoL he lend me that other time”
But then I saw this x.x Novio Earring! Literally died irl D: I think Ami had to wait at least a whole minute to complete the transaction. I’m so happy ; ; Thank youu!! Still shacking irl for it!

Next item for BLM I’m planning to get is Merciful Cape. Me and Kerb have like a total of 5H.Q. Aern Organs, I hope it will drop, I’m like 0/8468756 on Ix’MNK ._.! Wish me luck!

Made this picture on MY OEKAKI (yes the huge fontings means: YOU VISIT AND DRAW IF YOU CAN K?) as a gift for my dear friend Petisu! She also play on Ragnarok, very nice PLD and RDM~
I got a new tablet (Wacom Bamboo) and I’m spamming doodles everywhere!

Paladin’ pride raises of 100 points.

When I’m at home I literally throw myself into pixel world and completely forget about blogging and everything else! And last quick was kinda listing-like and telegraphic~

I finally got my piano collection CD! It’s too bad I have to Kerb to come here before listening to any track! My gimp connection doesn’t allow me to download any MP3; I need to wait the real thing itself!

Harpsichord item is really cute and cool.
It’s so lovely hearing its sound at 22:00, I should record it next time and put the tune on blog!
And starting to think that each piano is able to play only a single tune~

Had kerb coming to my MH while waiting to hear it tuning out some good melody, good chance to have a subligar-condom hat party <.<!
K. Both of us have problems but we don’t hid that!
I could have put on some cuter body piece tho!

Had AWESOME Paladin’s accomplishments in last two weeks. Best one was, tanking at Divine Might BC.
Some people in Linkshell wanted to change their earring, and I offered my help. I was already on pally (helped with some ZNMs earlier) but was /anon since I was sure I had to come as everything but tanker.
Then Amina asked me to come PLD to straight tank the Mithra while everyone else killed other Ark Angels before her…….and I thought, why not!
Not hiding I was super afraid to fail, die, missblink, and all possible mistakes ever, lulz.
Ended up doing fine! I also kited for a bunch of time a King Vinegaroon some days ago, had really no troubles even with no wlegs. And helped Sofo to kill Jazaraat for ToAU missions!

I still need to work a lot on equipment department and my HP sucks!
Bough a Cassie earring few days ago, hopefully will kill Bomb Queen soon and I’m going to start doing Limbus today with the Linkshell for Homam hands, feets and legs.
And I’m super happy for Valor Surcoat~ Also Jelly ring is very useful, especially in campaign. I’ve tried camping Bloodsucker for its ring but I kinda lost my hopes since competition is quite high …/wrist

Salvage is giving me hopes again. We got lot of new recruits and we always do runs with like 9 people or so.
Some of them are still totally new to the whole thing, this means for now we’re still slowing things down and still failing a couple of stuff x.x And I have to pull and port like a madman x.xxx
After my Macha’s coat, we got a couple of Usukane feet drop out of four POPs (gratz Pace and Pano!) and hands of same set~ (Pace haxed Salvage, about time!)
I can’t really wait to do Salvage like the old times, and poke mobs I haven’t seen for ages like Citadel Chelonian.

Scholar is going horribly. 3k to 43. Basically, I can’t find any party. I guess people wants more Haste and Refresh now. I even put comment “PL RDM 75″ but still zero invites. Well fuck that.
And it’s too bad since SCH is more performing that a BLM, WHM or RDM. Too bad i can just type “/ma Haste <t>” on my PL and still quicken up you guys.
Gave up some days ago, gonna try again sometimes this weekend.

Managed to claim a very good number of Kings lately.
And I’m super happy because I managed to fight Fafnir twice as BLM. Always did that fight as BRD or WHM, I wanted to test my nukes against that stupid dragon!
First time, I got shotted after a magic burst. This means I’m a cool BLM! Damage was not that great (I need to stop comparing my nukes to Kerb’s) but I’m still missing Novio on some merits on potencies and Burst II.
Stupidly happy to get hate off it! :x

Last thing, welcome back to game Sofo!
Never trust people who say “Hey, I quit the game. I miss it but gonna be forever” Always saw them coming back. He’s still on Ragnarok and actually not going back to Ramuh, he also applied to SpikeFlail this Monday. Good luck I hope to see you in sometimes soon!

Check! Made some little summary about my BLM equipment in a new section. Gonna make sometimes like that about my other jobs soon.
Also going to change template as soon as possible, this is popping new bugs day after day, I really need to get a new one!

Such a lotwhore!

Disappeared! Why? Some of you know this already, but I had a little quick surgery :o
Everything went fine and cool and that gave me..like 2 weeks off work! After first days of total pain (I couldn’t even move in my bed) I played bunch on FFXI…those are the results.

MIssing in the pic: RDM subligars, Sorcerer’s Petasos and Scholar 40! Omg @.@; I’m still shacking irl!

Did Dynamis-Xarcabard on Saturday night, which it was the same day I had the surgery, and my linkshell gave me this awesome present! Sorcerer’s Petasos!!! I still can’t believe it and I’m so happy!
Really thank you for my BLM wet dream item.
Dyna bubu, 2 Sorcerer’s belt dropped and I managed to snag one! Gratz Distress for the other one :3~

Morrigan body 35 o.o I dunno how I’ll get all the ingots, I have like 2 and probably can buy a third, I’ll dare my luck doing tons of BCNMs, need money like now!
Also, our set is going to turn out real cool, we have so many recruits, just a matter of time and we gonna rock!

Did three Cerberus ZNMs and got not even a single trigger drop. Fight was really easy even with the Dispel thing on Stoneskin and the whole Chainspell thing..
Four condom hats (Oracle’s cap!) dropped and there it is my “definitive” hMP head. Too bad SCH can’t wear any Oracle’s :(

Made a quick Sacrarium farm last saturday, dragged 5-6 people and I finally got Glamour Jupon (for sch!) and Gaudy harness!

Scholar 40! I LOVE this job, is so much fun. I can’t wait to get my first weather spell and get to 50, start to happily leech a bit in sea, lol. Manifestation/Accession are indeed the most cool thing ever, even this gimps a bit my own jobs (like Divine Veil/Seal each min at 75)~
Goal? 75 in August!

Omg <3 you people and happy to still have fun in this awesome game :3!
Quick summary of what happened, to tell the world I’m not dead!
