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 :(

New place to call home. For a little.

Back to blogging! I missed the blogging world! I actually reading other people whereabouts, and posting the stupid stupid stuff I accomplish in game!

Me and Kerb decided to go through other nations missions and started with Bastok (because we are cheap, and it was 3d at the moment in conquest)
We are rank 8 right now, just missing 3 easy fights to finish everything! Playing with no OPs sucks! But at least I’m WHM and have access to all teles we need :D
Fights are so easy! We only got help for the cap 50 fight and duo’d everything else, using mostly the PLD-BLM or the BLM BLM combination.
Shadow Lord was kinda lol (PLD BLM) and next time we’re definitely going for BLMx2 meleeing it during its first form <.<;; Now more than ever since we got a new toy thanks to ZNM!

Melee mages! Got Mekki Shakki from Experimental Lamia. Kerb’s trigger dropped 2 staves! How lucky!
Also managed to try Earth grip, and it’s not definitely worth it!

I’m not saying it’s useless, but it’s not definitely a mandatory item. I’ll probably buy it since it’s not even 30k, and because I don’t really have inventory issues when I play BRD (only because I’m slacking it recently, not bringing -DMG and MND -yes, for stoneskin- gear with me! And because my AF2 is stored.)

Kerb pop’s are lucky, and got this ring also. I also got Aurum hands, some “decent” piece I’ll use on my lolmeleePLD, since I am NOT going to waste any gil on something that’s plain stupid, hence that’s why I’not buying any dusk armor piece. Since it gonna be something used only for campaign and not important stuff.

Salvage got us recently some nice satisfactions and little accomplishments. Group is now at a solid 10~ish people each run, I think we finally got this set working as it should.
Stuff keeps dropping (Usu legs, Morri coat and other stuff) and we are actually killing bosses.

4/5 on bosses drop! x.X Only missing legs, not like emoFomor gonna drop in Silversea anyway. I hate that area. I hate you Dekka. With love, fuck you. Macha not dropping either (aka: skipping or not doing those NMs to complete people pieces reaching bosses and everything)

I don’t know if it’s only us/my old set, but cuffs just doesn’t drop. Never ever. We got a DOUBLE drop last time. A fucking double drop, puppet kill. Puppet kill made also Usu feet drop once, and now I’m definitely a fan of PUP, and think its toy deserves the killshot. Kill Dekka next time pleese Satu!

Still regarding Salvage, I can’t really stop being emo and emo over it. Even if we’re eactually improving and have a solid group right now.
Why I do complain now? I’m tired of losing at least 5k exp because I pull to a group that went to god knows which room. Or people who forgot they learned Sleep spell and I get raped with no SJ. People pulling by their own initiative when I pop Jakko and I die. People complaining about lottings when I do waste hours to rearrange priorities each 2-3 weeks following attendance. People complaining why we do an area instead of another. People arguing about cells. People not reading log. Failing arra zerg all the time to pop rats.

Sorry for rants but last runs has been something beyond horrible to me, been tempted to HP multiple times. But I guess I should just stfu since we actually get drops and everyone is coming all the times w/o the need to beg them.

Back to old content stuff, Conquest! Windurst got somehow Ronfaure, and I managed to get supplies done before switching to Bastok. With this, I only miss Gustaberg OP, which it would definitely come handy since that region is so gay to reach, but at least I can reach Bastok since I’m WHM using the Teleport-Altep -> Escape trick~

About to fight our 4387539485th Odin. Me and Nep are doing our usual daily elf’ sacrifices in order to make Mbody and Abody drop respectively x.x;; Koenig cuirass looks definitely cool :3 And, despite what everyone says, I think it’s a nice piece! Will totally use that on stuff I really need HP! Like Dynamis and, Einherjar. Plus the pretty look! x.x;

Still no idea why I ended with pfeet. And I still have the cursed for legs in mog house! Only real piece of new abjs I’d want from Odin is Shadow coat, but I’m not really asking for it before I get Mbody!
Morgana chocker is awesome. Sold Ajari bead necklace (Morgana has less MND, but the MP boost compensates the lack of it :p) and Promise badge~
Next item I’m looking for is Ritter gorget. Then I’ll totally go for Delta earring (One more -Enmity than Heaven’s earring +1) and, as last, Kubira bead necklace. For DD WHM and PLD, because I am an idiot :3

Since now I’m doing Limbus regularly with Linkshell i get to gather coins faster, and got Loquacious :3-
I can’t really notice the fast cast, but the MP boost is not that bad. I’m not really a fan of MAX MP (I don’t have it even on SMN, I rather go for some -Enmity) but I felt like gimp without that!

Omega wednesday~ Gonna tank it! I went as PLD last time as well, but I’m an idiot and forgot to change my SUB and tanked it PLD/BLM till i died around 15% or so during some pod farming >.<;! But I guess that was some nice attempt :D!
Omega on BLM is just super boring (Nuke once in a while and wait for pods each ice age), and I’m still afraid to try it on WHM! And BRD is not really exciting, like in most events of this kind!

I should update my BLM equip thinghie on blog and add another job’s items soon! And make some kind of new template sometimes soon, keep saying this for long time now ~.~
Gonna teach Kerb how to use Wordpress/Manafont so he can start to use it soonish!

Bought a Ventrilo server for the linkshell and other uses (my Suikoden site and an upcoming CoP set), currently trying to set it up better! I’ll rarely talk because I’m retarded shy :p

Also wasted money on Tidal Talisman. Yes, I’m such a money waster!
Item looks actually nice and I could really wear it irl if it’s not huge. Had to make it getting delivered to Kerb’s place, since SE fails so hard and they are not sending this in Europe!

The ingame item is almost as win ad Numad Moogle hat, AoE teleports with different destinations depending where you use it! I wonder if it works only in cities…..

It probably will, sadly! And I’m also wondering on something seen on this movie on YouTube [link]… equipping this item will make you having this coat in game ? And no, I don’t read BG, so if anyone mentioned it there already I don’t know!

The whole look isn’t great at all, but I like having fashionable, and mostly, unique stuff. I really can’t wait to get the code and see if my thoughts are right! But I think that probably the talisman won’t affect your body piece to change at all, just came up with this since I’m bored, at work!
EDIT: Actually I’m an idiot, i was totally sure the Talisman was a neckpiece….. just noticed the [Body] tag int he picture I posted! Omg I’m so tired, HALP!

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!

Where is love for BLMs? Nowhere..

Ewww update. SE keep’n killing BLM again, for real. Not that I cared so much till last update, but seriously it’s sad D: SCH getting T4s is something beyond fail, if we don’t get something new and unique (meh, besides AM2) we’ll probably end being teleport bitches <.<
Not that WHM got something cool. Teleports to past areas, yay. Nice coupling with D2 to the past. Excitement. <.<;

Well, at least I’m stupid enough to have fun with new /dances motions. And there is actually something good for one of my jobs.

Elemental Siphion is cool. Very.
I tried it this morning before running to work and I gladly drained 220~ish MP from Ice elemental on….Lightsday I think? Unfortunately I don’t have a Light ele yet. I was even like naked, since I just changed job and equipped some random stuff not Summoner related.
From what I’ve heard, Aspir rate is calculated by Summoning skill (<3 insane Marduk SMN skill+) and if the called elemental matches the current Vana’diel day.
Gonna try this properly equipped once I get home, can’t wait to see how much I can get! I wonder if elemental obis will help for this purpose…..? Probably not.

Anyway, still sad for BLM, damn you SE for being so hateful against this awesome job :(

Kerb is helping me getting some merits. Have also some potency and enfeebling already raised. Gah, I really hate meripos. Can’t really stand them D: So boring and……… so stressful on BRD. Never rest, never slow down, always have to run and run; pull this, sleep that, play that song, “omg where is my minuet!” and stuff like this.
God, I’m so going to make my PLD DD and merit with that instead.

PLD dinged 60 last sunday. Unfortunately I didn’t get any pic with me wearing that new shiny cute AF, but will do next time! I’m so cute! And getting 60 means I have to level my gimp war, it’s still 30, think I found how I’ll spend my first Emperor band charges :3

And even got my second PLD AF2 piece lol! It almost went freelot. Guess it’s a nice macropiece for Rampart, and I’ll probably wear my Assjammer fulltime anyway (grabbing stuff at low levels is win, since there is no way we’re going to claim a Fafnir sometimes soon D:)
Anyway happeh, getting pimped on this job also! Can’t wait for the signed chainsaw +1 (Macuhatl) at 65!

Helped Kerb getting Kotes from Boroka for his Monk. Since we do have a set you know.
Went 1/3, not really bad since this NM is not really a pain in the ass to camp nor kill.
Just a matter of Freeze “burn” with one or more parties of BLMs!
Got three torques and a couple of earrings too, kinda forgot who got what. Well, gratz to all of you anyway!

Salvage going on nicely. We actually get drops. And this makes me really happy, even if Dekka STILL hates me. And that’s why I renamed it to something like that:

Srsly. Hate this NM. But at least we got Skadi hands off gear NM, and Kerb won lot against Tirinai. Well, congratulations suft! Time to save gils for bloods with me! Need to gather around 1min, so can’t *still* buy a sorc, I need to upgrade my Morrigan cuffs!

Did a first serious attempt to boss, Long ArmedChariot. We were few people with not exactly the right jobs, kinda lacked on DMG but overall we fought really fine, even if we wiped. Had a botted WHM, me on BRD (while right now I have enough merits to do real serious damage, just lacking of Freeze II, but whatever D:)
Can’t wait to finally crush a boss with our current set up, and I guess it’s going to happen really soon! (And need 25s with all those drops!)

And finally, I managed to get my first Limbus item ^^

A big thank you to Kerb who gave me some of his coins to reach the amount of 75 pieces!
And, last Limbus was meh. Stuff on silver platter again, so lucky on portals, behemots not mating but… i failed. Lol, that’s when I’d like to insta delete my FFXI id and quit. I suck ; ;
We got BLM item as well so I guess next time We’ll do Temenos……… so much relieved.
Apollyon is better coin wise, but I still have some major difficulties doing Wyrm and Behe sometimes. Not like I don’t panic at all if an avatar pops on Temenos Ele’ tower, but we usually open time chest only.
Whatever! Next time will be better, I hope. BLM is so much stressful sometimes ;; /facepalm

Regarding site, I fixed both Gallery and Video page. Just lacking of some little font fixes. Still have to style the whole comment form, I admit I haven’t wrote a single CSS line for it. Guess I’ll do something tomorrow or so, but I want to finish the most important things within the end of week!
Super happy on how it turned out! After I finish this, gonna work on Kerb site, need to force him to set it up!

EDIT: Omg I want this!

If I don’t find any news sometimes soon I’m gonna spread my researches on JP sites or even ask GM <.<;
Wonder if I can get that even if I already had the whole wedding/ceremony, if not…… can I marry Kerberoz again? :D

souleater.org V.5

Made this brand new layout from scratch.
Used the wonderful B base of WPThemerKit (should check out if you’re using Wordpress!) and customized in a couple of days!

I know this theme has still lot of major flaws (like comment box, gallery and video page, plus some other minor stuff) but I’m going to fix em slowly.
Still making this almost  -if not- fully compatible to most common browsers.

Still have some old/new features to add, feel free to give me your feedbacks and bug reports!

And, last but not least, thanks again to monosomy for the awesome stunning header image.
I love you girl <3
