Last months recap, back on blogging world!

Here we go. It’s nice to come back writing my little FFXI weblog, I missed it sometimes, I can’t hide that! It’s hard to describe everything happened in the last months, so many stuff and events to cover! A little sum will be enough I guess~

A Crystalline Prophecy.
Honestly, I liked it.
Maybe it was too fast, and I probably would have liked more BCs and less farming, but I enjoyed some hours doing those missions. And I’m one of those few mad people who actually enjoy doing cap stuff! That really reminded me when I did CoP except the not-naked part, running around with cute (horrible?) tarutaru pajamas is just ….awesome. (No, I don’t have some strange child PJ’ fetish x.x)

I did final BC twice, and for my first run we had Dangerousdj aggroing everything and saving us from certain death! Heavy mob trains are awesome, reminds me a bit when I was used to train all Gelshba with my little BRD ;3
Second time, me and Kerb climbed duo, me as WHM and him as…RDM! Was really easy, since we (we=Kerb) managed to sleep the few aggros with no problems at all (god saves enfeebling merits) and reached the top in a mere…20-30 minutes i think, I wasn’t really clock’n the whole thing.

Careful, spoiler next! Don’t peak if you haven’t played all ACP!

I loved final fight. We wiped on the first attempt, but it was just for some little misfortune.  2nd try went smooth and won with decent time!
We adopted the slow “safe” strat, instead of lolboring zerg setup. I don’t like to abuse of zergs when you can actually fight properly something,  of course this doesn’t apply on some mobs like Dynamis Lord or Valkurm boss.
PLD/RDM (me!) SMN SMN COR (Kerb) RDM/DRK and WHM. Basically, the summoners were our constant damage, while the COR takes care of clones. RDM/DRK to stun most -ga (but those aren’t really a problem as paladin -I never received big amounts of damage-), PLD keeps spamming spells and healing him/herself and WHM takes care of the poor PLD.
If you need some tankin’ for this, don’t hesitate to ask for my help because it’s hella fun!

The reward i took from ACP was Royal Redingote. It’s something beyond fuglyness. Magic Accuracy and Magic Damage Bonus for my scholar!
I’m a bit undecided to actually toss this to get PLD’ one with Fast cast and enmity, because I could replace the redingote with Morgana cotehardie (which I found absolutely awesome, and despite the -MACC, I never got too much resists), or Ixion cloak when I need something between morgana and AF1 body. Decisions, decisions!

Allied Notes NMs. Some can become really nasty, and some are so easy you can tank/fight them half asleep! (Like, the tiger) The ones I probably “liked” the most are the Funguar and Scorpion. Yus, I’m sure a masochist person.
First funguar went really easy, but we wiped horribly on some other run later, because apparently it absorbed someone en-curse from a Igqira piece, a very very nasty curse that caps you to 100 hp! Sadly, we had all to home point :(

Finally started (and almost finished) Serpent Generals quests. Kerb trying to make get me done with it for ages! And since we’ll fight the (final?) BC soon with some Linkshell people, I kinda had to this time. I hate being left behind on missions :<

Only need to complete gadalar (♥) one and then I’m done. I probably like Mihli’s one by far, her backstory is indeed the most interesting one! /me wanna see more ;3
The cat’ cutscene is imho one of the most funny one in the whole game.
Najelith (hope I spelled her name correctly :3) throwing a… silencing arrow to literally avoid Gadalar to burn people and things down made me laugh irl <.<!

Our Salvage set is going nicely. We are actually getting drops and start to killing some bosses!
We are able to lowman (a mere party) everything, and last time we even killed LBC with no losses at all!

I actually lost hopes on my new set once, because we “reached” the same useless point of old one, which it was basically not being able to kill bosses, and have all members with a fuckton of 35s but not a single piece completed. But I think the whole opposite now.

I’m happy that Saturian finally finished her first Salvage piece for her awesome PUP (Usukane legs); about time after like a year of runs! Congratulations^^ And she has still head sitting in MH, I hope she will complete that soon.

And I think this noob deserves his grats as well! Our gimp Amano’ SAM finally managed to get his feet, and Kerb got a pair the day after! (Of course both kills were mine, weee to my hidden TH!)
Now we hope to see a third pair to drop for Satu~

Odin decided to love me, about time I’d say <.<. If you wondering, he finally decided to put out M.Body, but there is some little inconvenient………

Now that I have the abj, money is failing me! Started doing again ENM to Kerb to get some stuff in my purse, since now I’m even down to less than 50k. I think most of my money was sucked by Limbus, Tacos and random meds! I hate being poor!

Killed Kerb, after like 39485738945849 attempts! Have to say thanks to Anatabgogagaga (ZNM mob) for charming me and horde’ing him while he was running away! :3 But me being charmed isn’t as fun as an eventual Burst II kill :( I’m so evul >.<
And talking about ZNMs, we started another cycle, this time with less Cerbs and more Hydras and Khims. I tanked Khim and it wasn’t that bad, ‘cept the fact you can’t slow and elegy it and stun gets slowly resisted, which it made me die several times due horrible para hitting both tanks and mages! But after our first couple fights, we found a good positioning and it went with like no hassle (and because Amina was tanking, lul)

Some nice MB i managed to do on Tinnin, had no buffs nor food since I nuked weak, just reraised! (And of course I died the second after). Getting draw-in each second isn’t fun, at least had Kerb getting most hate before my death turn :p!

And now, my beloved PLD situation! (yes I love showing off my pimpness -I’m such an attention whore!)

Ignore other jobs stuff in equipment list ;3 Notewhorty stuff not included in list are Valor Cape and Homam feet! My PLD is definitely pimp, it’s just a shame for that horrible NQ Kaman, but I’ll start farming some -1s whenever I have some time~ And going to start some mad Khimaira camping once i get DSL (which is going to happen in a couple weeks), with some mule I created just for it~

Lotwhoring of the last months. As you can see, there are many things for my next job: Corsair! Kerb will level it for me on his spare time, hopefully he will be able to zerg it quickly to 75! XD
But besides the Cor, Limbus and LS gifts……. CAN YOU JUST SEE THAT DEKKA DECIDED TO DROP MY BOOTS? After YEARS of Salvage, I (almost) finished a set! Only need to relot lvl 15 (I dropped it months ago) and have Kerb giving some buttsex for mats money! I’m really happy!^^

This post ended up being a massive sum, and hopefully I’ll post again frequently like I was used to!

  I don’t comment here often, but I do visit almost every day to look for updates.  I had to post today to congratulate you on the crackows!!!  Grats on lots of other stuff, too, but the crackows made me really excited for you.  I was reading the pic of drops you got, saw Enlil’s Crackows listed, and literally said out loud (at work) “Holy shit!”  It’s about time they dropped for you. ^^b
