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!

New missions awesomeness

Latest update :3 Besides hax items, new missions’ cut scenes are totally made of win. Me and Kerb managed to do quickly all new ones including the lolfight~

Warning: May contain spoilers!

Don’t hate me for the massive amount of screenshot I’m going to post today, but I think those are really worthwhile to be show off ! I <3 this taru so much, he’s so badass, and haxBLM too! He’s definitely one of my favourite characters :3

The gay dancer is something…………beyond massive lolness. I swear I was laughing so hard IRL while reading his supergayness speech, movements and HIS WAY TO LAUGH! Plas being a DNC helps alot obviously <.<

Lilisette is just…………. omg super. I thought Aphamu had the best facial expressions and fluid movements ever, but hell, I never imagined that SE could create a model like this. Details of her earring are amazing (I want one like that too!), her cheeks say “ommgpleasesqueezemelikenow” and her mouth MOVES realistically!

She is actually smiling for real! And looks so pretty too! I am so curious to open her model in VRS and see how complex is the whole skeleton, I really wish all characters were like that :<
Final Fantasy XI needs some graphic upgrade, at least on playable characters! And please remove that ugly jumpsuit on notsonaked tarus.

Finally some villains :3 Those fomors are awesome. I like that coupling. The “silly” one with long hair hume skin is fun! Kinda thought of Graeson when I saw him, mostly because they have the same “look” and because red mage relic. And holy awesomeness, the blue/violet-ish AF2 is …*drools* …makes me want to draw him, would be first time since long time I draw something that’s not taru :p

Mission fight :3 I wanted to play PLD, and kinda forced Kerb to make me not change to anything else, since I rarely get to play this job. Was a bit scared because I never solo tanked -blink tank- before, and the setup PLD BLM is not so shiny.
We literally owned it <.< Fight took a bit long because I wanted to have more tanking fun; did perfect cept a couple of times I screwed utsu cancelling it too late. Got petrified the last 10% but Kerb finished it. No deaths, yay!
This really made me happy, making me more secure and proud of my PLD, looking forward to tank more and more sometimes soon! (Will probably do while completing San d’Oria and Bastok missions)

Dark Ixion :o Didn’t manage to fight it yet, it keeps popping at very gay times when people are off or asleep on keyboard *COUGH COUGH*
I watched for a little another linkshell fighting that and I really love the charging move, ready to rape any clueless ally member. Really looking forward to tank it, need to claim this guy next time~
And by the size and glow, I can guess this gonna be a real avatar, but I totally don’t care about my SMN right now. (Even if i STILL want Bahamut staff and that new Garuda head……)
So many new stuff to do now, will care about Ixion (avatar speculations) later :3

Managed to do some mob snapping for those new ZNMs. Tried a few (Chigoe and ………uhm colibri’? I forgot) and those don’t seem too hard. We had almost a full ally though D:!
Kerb got that new T1 accuracy ring, while I bought the trigger for LilApkallu which drops the hax hMP feet and he also got me one for Shield NM! I really hope it drops! ^^
Despite I don’t like snapping that much, I find this new system very nice and sadly, time consuming. So much things to do and so few time……..but oh well!
The only thing I’m afraid of, is that soon (like in 1-2 months) people will lose interest for this and gathering peeps for a ZNM will be hard. Dunno!

Finally managed to get Yigit legs (wearing them as town gear since I really love the look) and Ethereal earring! This earring is so hax. I tried it with mission dragon and enjoyed it :3 Wish I got this way before!

Scholar 10! Ready to fight in the dunes. Stratagems looks so cool :3 If I get some time, I’m going to finish RDM today, which is currently LVL35. I’m…actually subbing it already on BLM because spells and abilities are good already, and I rather give up 1 INT at the moment than lacking of Gravity or Fast cast II.
After those two levels….. SCH 75 go! Already checked what equipment I’ll need. Not really much work cept Vermy/Ixion cloak, Einherjar MND cape, and minor things.

Annnnnnnnnd!

Gratz Kerb for your Shura togi^^ About time x.x!
He even got kote drop from Xololol, and this means his MNK is almost done!
Just need those damned Oztroja feet and uhm…something else I forgot (it’s morning, I’m at work and brain is failing so hard)

I checked my fellow points, and sadly I have only 5k. Kerb has only 7k too… and I heard on BG about crazy people with like over 50k. How is that even possible ? D:
I need to exp my Savul more, and as far I know it is possible to change your NPC personality now. My Savul is a bit emo and silent, but I don’t really want to change him, I’m so used at his cold speech @.@!

Nyzul, we are totally going to change the whole set “purpose”. While at start we decided to farm each bosses till EVERYONE got what he/she wanted, we decided to just rush and complete everyone disk for new relics.
We’re about to complete Darkbrillance’ one (at floor 70 at the moment), then we have to redo from start with other five of us. Also, welcome Ultimatetaru to our set!

This update is so much win, finally SE made something real good for us silly time wasters :3
Odin this sunday!

Prelude of joy

Definitely left my old Salvage group, and started a new one with Kerb and Darkbrillance.
We have people completely new to the whole thing and some even to the endgame panorama!
But I like this set. Friendly people, I found again the fun I had when I started Salvage one year ago, I’m so happy! Need more people now, Tari and Meph where ? Need some good DD and a RDM :3

First of all, just ignore the NM name. Me and Kerb just having fun dat modding some mob names; see what utter boredom can do!
Anyway, did Bhaflau. After some horrible start+almost wipe, we managed to recover and start killing (Pace’s the hero of the day! Yay for MNK 2houring wamouras for a single magic cell that saved the run!)

Ramparts. Due wasted time we got a full 1st and half 2nd. Obviousily we saw no bees but…. got 5 widows pop. And 3 macha’s off those!

First pair went to Tirinai, second one I passed to Graeson, and I got the third :3
I’m so happy, besides the super luck, our set is starting to get drops! Now…. if only we could kill any boss.
Like I said earlier, we still having some major difficulty and doing any Chariot right now would be totally a suicide. Probably can start with some BCC for practice but….who knows. Just a matter of time I guess!

I did it. Tossed my static. Kinda regret of doing so, but yet I guess Ethereal is better. For PLD.

The only thing that scared me while tossing was the re-doing of the Promyvion thing again. I mean, I didn’t want to end with no earring and no one willing to climb those three areas with me, or just forced to solo and yell with npc and stuff.

But actually I did it :O
Went in with Mallo DRK, Joyo WHM (rofl), me BST, and Kerb as cheerleader BLM~!

This is why I love FFXI. Missions. Hanging with people. Fun. That was awesome, and passed a couple of hours enjoying the company of those guys on crack.
And again, had fun with BST after long time! I don’t get why I quitted the job, kinda regretting that decision. And I leveled SMN instead of it. Meh. I just blame COP. Had SMN leveled because of missions!

Anyway! Got all three slivers, gonna redo Apoc nigh sometimes soon ….this week end maybe? I hope so!

Oh god. Kinda suffered to get (almost) the whole PLD AF. Regarding misfortune and everything.
Had very good luck with feets and hands, as long with Garlaige coffer drop but…. never managed to reach the coffer itself. Was misteriously not up most of the time. Once I found even a linkshel CAMPING chests. Wtf!

Also, Zvahl coffer was a pain. Went there multiple times, for hours, as BLM, SMN, with friends help as well. (<3 Kerb, Grae, Distress, Hito) but it didn’t want to drop ; ;
On my……. 4th? day of farming, I finally got it and………..got raped by the other 934753984 demons I carefully aggro’d while being happy <.<!
Will never ever step into that place again! FFS! At least I got lucky finding coffer. Yay.
Won’t mention how easily I get lost there and I suck reaching the keep alone.. D: Stupid place! Castle Zvahl makes baby Jowah cry!

Did AF3 NMs fight duoing with Kerb. That was a piece of cake actually. Had to smash an orc out of two I had to spawn -a PLD and a RNG-
Only the PLD was required to be killed in order to proceed into the quest… I was taking care about the RNG while Kerb nuked the main thing.
The RNG hits like a truck D: Stoneskin went down so fast and got hit for 200-300 dmg each shot ><;
Bind is totally your friend.
Finished the PLD when Kerb ran out of MP! Super easy!

Yayz! And a big thank you to Chronus and Jski as well who helped me opening Garlaige doors, yay guys ^^ Much appreciated!
Now, missing only legpiece so far, but heh…. guess what. I get lost in Badoux.
I suck <.<

Finally catched up Kerb’s monk! And now we’re going to grind EXP till 75, even if sometimes soon we have to ungimp both our WARs, since they’re lvl30. At least, melee class, should be easy, just need some kind of PL and we’re set.

I literally broke my purse buying a Gluttony sword (that+ Lappas mats = poorJowah), but I couldn’t pass on such hax item! And after all, that’s the only weapon I’ll need before the Macuhatl. This means I’ll be able to get all gils back very soon.
All I want now is 60 for true PLD look! (Oh, and Kerb looks so cute while WS’n on his monk :>)

Finding more Jowah’ fans lately XD Here it goes a very cute and kind mithra.

Hi Xiu!

<3 people randomly stopping you and saying very nice stuff to you!
I got a couple of tells like this as well, but wtf, I want people to actually poke me! So I can take screenshots preasu :D
Anyway, thank you guys for reading my crapness! I can’t stop saying thanks :3
Hits increasing month after month, got 6000 unique visits last February! WOW! :D
It’s realy an awesome and vevy big accomplishment ^^

And my timing in some stuff fails. Love RR wearing at the very moment I get aggro… almost on top of Uleguerande. Yay to some taru RDM who raised me on the way, saved the day!

Nyzul today, hope Goliard drop for DB. We’re currently at floor 30, other 10 for legs boss!
Goliard legs looks totally ugly, but Askar ones are so cute……. wish us best luck anyway!
FOR GLORY!

Deadtaru.

Been totally lazy and din’t post anything yet, despite I had all pictures ready and some of them even uploaded for some days x_x
I’m just a bit tired! And actually pretending to work for real when I’m at office :v

Question of the day: Do all male taru BLMs come “embedded” with Kerb’ hairstyle?
Everytime I turn I find another one, it’s scary D;
(And half of them are bonecrafters, WTF!)

Last Sunday we did JoL for the sole purpose to pop Absolute Virtue and test out some theories. We totally used another strat for the whole thing, but I’m not going into details because I don’t actually know If i have to keep this secret D:

Anyway! Absolute Virtue popped and we started playing with it. Or I would say, it started playing with us.

We wiped around five times, but overall all the attempts were not *that* bad. The problem is, people fucking around with OUR AV, their wynavs, and claiming stuff around to help fucking us D:

This time was way way way more exciting and funnier than last time, I hope someone will make a real progress regarding this NM. I love when there is *real* hard stuff like AV.

I kept the thing spawned the whole time between wipes singing Hymnus with Mekaia and Selim’s mules as lvl 1 BST.
/pcmd add macro, sing, make em suicide, redo till ally has been restored.

This also means I didn’t play in the main ally till the last two attempts when some BRD went to sleep, since actually the Hymnus work is way more stressful than it seems!
Jowah likes to do those dirty tiring unique jobs :3
And fortunately, for god sake, this time I didn’t lost 50k EXP like I did in our last attempt!

Time to go back farming sea triggers, and get more and more JoL pops.
Oh and, Novio+Novia dropped off it :3

Keep having fun with BLM. But I admit I’m having some bad luck with it.
Multiple deaths followed by lot of R1s and even 2-3 HPs. This is not good. And I left my character LVL74 with 4k tnl :(
But I think Kerb got my 75 back this night, <3! :D

Multiple R1 came mostly from Limbus while doing Apollyon, me and Kerb even almost killed Behemot!

That was kinda depressing, I had no MP, Kerb died and had like 30 secs left D:
Drained it when it was at 3%, hoping it was enough to kill it, but it wasnt ><

We got fucked on time because Behemots were literally mating and couldnt pull em at all. A failed pull attempt made us wipe and lose a good 5~ ish mins at least, mins that would have been useful to clear NW Apollyon D:
Anyway, I’m like 25ish coins short for musical earring, this means another run or two :3

This gonna be better no doubt next time. We made another strat and it will work 200% better andwill be 400% more productive/damaging.
/cant wait :>

Still regarding BLM, I got pimped and got some stuff, and most of all, a satisfaction kill!

Obviousily, got some help for organ farming ;< (guess from who? lol.) and right now I’m only 3 Hmpede short for my last obi, the Thunder one. Then I guess I’m done with this kind of items (Have already light, dark and Relaxing earring~)

Got 2nd Bob’d thingy, really doubt I’ll make any use of the robe before 2012, unlike the crown wich may actually happen!

And for Bahamut, I’m so happy because I really did some decent damage comparing my spells to Kerb’s (we were the only two BLMs, and that was B1)
Gratz to Mallo, Matix, Hakkenshi and others for the fight done!

(Gorgeus screenshot stolen from Kerb :3)

We’re almost done on 9/9 for our third Odin fight.
If I remember correctly, we lacking only last T3 clear and we will be able to fight that guy again. I’m a bit sad because I won’t be able to play as WHM due lag/lolUMTS.
Playing BRD doesn’t look that exciting, I just hope I’ll be allowed to come as SMN :(
That job is getting rusty, haven’t fought any Tiamat/Khimaira for ages and last Vrtra attempt was a TP burn! My Carby is ronery!

Got the most awesome BLM cape ever <3
Here it goes my 2nd Einherjar item! Next one gonna be MND one, and with that I can definitely sell Prism cape~
Morgana Choker is appealing too, but I’ll keep sticking with my lolAjari Bead Necklace :3

Finally Kerb got his Bonecraft Signboard!
Congratulations, it’s so damn awesome and good looking! I want one too! I wonder how other ones looks like!

This also means I can start raping his GPs and buying HQ crystals :O
I have a little list of stuff I’d really like to HQ and have em signed:

• Genie Tiara
• Genie Weskit (Big amount of wasted money INC)
• Macuahuitl +1 (Easy stuff really)
• Nereid Ring (0/3x and counting :<)

I’d like Genie Lappa too but the Megalobugard Tusk costs like a lung D;
And actually got my first pair of Lappas few days ago, I’ve been a gimpy BLM with no JSE legs at all, due the tusk! Om, I suck I know!
But after some failed binds at Mammet ENM, I decided to get one and delay again the upcoming Sorcerer’s Ring :\
Hopefully, if my Sha’ir feet sells (stupid people bojackn’ AH price) and we get BOMB drop on Brothers bc, I’ll be veeeeery close to be able to buy it!
But then again, I utterly suck, merits where. /selfstab

PLD almost 55! Started leveling it again! Gonna getmy level today or even 56 if possible!
But I still need to open coffer in Garlaige D: Any help pwetty please?

Massive gasm.

Started trying farming coffer keys for pld and getting random stuff for it. I missed a Salvage because I was having a shower, so I went in Eldieme and Garlaige while waiting Kerb to be done with it.

Got both keys like instant (especially Eldieme, first kill-> drop!) and then started looking for chests and doin’ quests.

Haven’t opened GC one yet, because I’m checking te ones behind Banishing Gate #3, since I can solo it subbing WHM and “running from the past”.
It’s cool how my PLD is getting pimped even with high lvl stuffs (Askar!) even if I’m still 50!
Thinking of stealing a mHead on next sky :D~ (Mostly coz those are freelot by now x.x;)

Apocalypse Night! Finally!
The fight was fun as hell, went there with Big9, Gades, Hellday, Ridill and Kerb came help~
A bindga kinda screwed us, I was far and couldn’t Bene, and we all died after killing the little duke. We didn’t bother to fully wipe and recover and attacked Kam’Lanut instead XD (wich he was being kited by Kerb)
Haven’t done any fun fight like this for……….ages, and I’m looking forward to do it again :3 /poke me if anyone on Rag need!
I also made a video but I guess it’s better if I don’t edit it, due wipings and stuff XD

Then………….. well, got my earring. I was sure to get Ethereal, but actually….. I guess it’s utterly useless on PLD if I’m going to blink tank. Since I won’t get any dmg at all.
This means I got…..

(Strarting to think Kerb wrote Gilgamesh’ playscript)
Static Earring! Since I need a MND earring and the Magic Burst bonus is quiet nice (Kerb’ words!). Plus I will use this on RDM I’ll level on 2012. x_x
I spent a whole evening to think wich one to get tho ;; Was an hard choice!

TardBLMTeam Vs TemenosEles: 1-2! Last run was something beyond perfect. And I was literally kissed by fortune.
I opened all chests and NEVER spawned any avatar. We managed to proceed safely and clear the first four floor, getting around 8 coins each and………as for me I came to my mog house with BLM, BRD and PLD items in my inv.
The earth ele floor went fine as well. Temenos is definitely better than Apollyon, but I hate how much the luck factor is involved in it x.x!

Anyway…………….. I upgraded my first BLM piece!

This piece is so hawt, hax enf and mostly, got rid of lolErrant for resting. Too bad I still need it for ele dots, WHM/SMN resting and Stoneskin macro D:
But w/e, so happy, and time to go back to Apollyon! Getting all this mats kinda screws me, since I’m spending all Ancient coins on AFs, and this means no Musical earring yet. Honestly I’d like to have brutal’s one day as well. (….yeah. For melee WHM. and DD PLD.)

Finally! Last Silversea run dropped Bob’d Cuffs, after going to some crazy droprate like 0/30~ And this makes Kerb with full Morrigan set, congratulations! Too bad his model completely hides the Morrigan’s Coronal, someone needs an haircut :3!
Congratulationssssssss <3

We finally did a pop-NM event, and slayed some Shens, Kurrea and Alastor.
Should do this more often! FFXI need more popable NMs, wtf! (And mostly, zero or at max 5 mins of ??? repop x.x)

This took all night, and finished all the fights around 3AM.
I was starting to doze around 1.30AM or so, I could have asked Kerb to log me for the lot but…. I don’t have the chances to kill those NMs often, and I’m so glad I stayed :D!
I did videos for all the fights, I should edit them sometimes this week, since I’ll have no internet for few days (YES! Phone signal works good in new house)

I failed getting last ingredient for Galliard trousers (lolChiken chip), but I don’t really need those at the moment so I don’t care that much. But I finally had some use of my Shrimp Lantern and Antlion Trap.. :3

I’m so happy I finally got those 2 stuff ; ; And I guess I’m gonna start working on meleeWHM. Have already suppa to use and going to grab Fenrir’ earring off wishper (since it’s free!) Then will just use blessed pieces/turban and few stuffs from AH, but I don’t really want to waste too much gils on something that’s actually useless.
But again, fun > *. And meleeWHM looks superfun, and Falcoo showed me this.
And need to un-gimp myself by unlocking Hexa Strike! >.<

After looking last poll’s results, I’ve decided to post more and put more screenshots each time. Looks like everyone love them! (And I like editing them :3)
Hope readers will appreciate this! I consider feedbacks very important!

Last week was awesome both game and RL wise.
I got my new house’ keys last thurs, found my stolen motorbike, got something secret I was waiting for weeks, and then all that game stuffs above!
And, can’t stop to thank people like Darkbrillance, Tirinai, Orphenot, Graeson, Genkotsu, Tayhha, Hellday for the support I got from them lately. <3 you guys!

And I found the massive insane nonsense to do after events.

Synch warp each other: priceless. Seriously, we both need a psychiatrist.
