More productive than ever!

Sunday events are always awesome. (except for Kirin, wich I hate from the bottom of my heart). Two Salvage runs as usual, Limbus, Dynamis and Sky gods!

I’ve helped linkshell so hard in the past three days trying to get God triggers, and this includes a Despot claimed with Kerberoz (Flash for the win!).
We succesfully got around 8~10 pop items (I think) and all runs went fine. Strange but true I never died on hNMs, but yet I found myself eating dirt while farming like twice or three times.

My second Zenith piece :3 I’m going to use this alot more then crown, even if the big amount of HP swapped with MP scares me. And that’s why I’ve raised some HP merits as well… so tired to get oneshotted by any mob. 2/4 Merits, since I want to get some MP bonuses as well~

Kerberoz brought us to another lolSilversea Salvage Run and Arrapago for the first time. With latest patch, Salvage is now VERY EASY. People who haven’t tried Salvage yet, should give a chance to it, since cells now drops easily. And cap you runs to 12 people= win! Our tanks/melees were almost all dressed at the end of first floor, and most of us had magic. I even got an ability cell!

My very first pieces of my future Marduk set♥! Arrapago anyway is also easy. The main problem may be those nasty Quiquirns running all around and that’s makes very difficult hitting them. If anybody is going to do that in a near future, be sure to haste all tanks/melees and have them well equipped!

Last Dynamis was fun. With a wipe (as usual and those are always fun!) and some epic pulls , we managed to farm a while the zone. We didn’t attempt to kill Diabolos because we ran out of time. And the farming dropped….

Yay to the most useless piece of Bard relic! But it’s enough for some Jeuno/Aht Urghan/ Jeuno fashion. My first relic body piece ever, congratz to me! :3 Could be better if White Mage one dropped instead of Bard (usefulness! Since i have no Noble=refresh where!) but that’s ok. Let’s hope on future runs :)

Last post are so much “I did this I got that” and I’m sorry. After the whole “thoughts” posts I wrote, I promised to myself to avoid writing alot about the game itself (like today) and trying to tell my opinions to the world and discuss them.
I am up for any suggestion!

Tip of the Day: Don’t install strange DAT packs, even if your husband/sister/friend/w-e made em.

Notice! Souleater.org will be hosted by mediatemple within a week. I bought an account yesterday there and soon the site will be down for a undefined span of time for what I call “the DNS dance”. Adjö!

To duo or not to duo?

Monday, sigh. I hate mondays. Five days of work to go as usual, me becoming tired and tired day after day coz I stay on FFXI till 2AM….but I’m happy ^_^ Starting to accept things like those are.

Like every weekend, this one has been a really busy one. Most important thing is that me and Perseid managed to get our Summoner AF3! Very easy, I say.
We duo-ed both BCs, first one with her as RNG, I always fought as SMN. Weapons went down quickly with no hassle, ’cause we rule ^_~

Regarding second fight, we tried to spread our Garudas’ rage, Predator Claws!
Actually we did some mistakes and failed at first, but then we found a great strategy that will let us kill all Primes alone, in order to get our Evoker’ ring!

Us Spikeflail did some God runs yesterday, and got nice drops like a couple of Osodes (meh i want one XD) and some Abj; then I went sleep coz it was too late for me.

I am REALLY HAPPY coz yesterday I received a great news; a good online friend of mine will be back on FFXI and he will start again on RAGNAROK SERVER!
I know you’re reading this my dear Mr.D?, I am just sorry I will not able to stay with you as much I would like to due my limited schedules, Linkshell and such.

I’m getting more in love with this Linkshell. And I can say it’s my very first real one LS.
I’m slowly knowing each member, and all of them are nice :3 Last “discovers” were Hakk, Perseid and Td (wich he actually scared me at first , I tough he was mad at me for the time he wasted for CoP U&O fight, as long with Amina)
<3 you!

Round round round~

I finally got my first relic artifact piece^_^ Thanksss a bunch to all linkshell’ people support :3

Unfortunately I had to leave Dynamis since Tuesday has ebil event time for me…. i think we started @1AM and I always wake up at 7.30-8AM, so it wasn’t really a big deal staying awake more. Surrended only on hour later :(
Next time, we’ll do Dynamis-Windurst, I need a clear there and then I will need Bastok only so I can access Beuceadine…. it’s really a pity that due CoP’ event I couldn’t get Bas clear last week with Tenchi Dyna LS.
Windurst has no BRD’ relics (sigh) but LVL 71 SMN legs…and since my SMN is like 2k to 67 I hope to have a chance to be in the “candidate list” of that drop :3

And speaking about Tenchi, I’ve decided I will leave that, or at least making clear to holders that I don’t care about points and relics themselves but clears.

Yesterday, I went with Khasim to Sea Serpent Grotto.
As he promised, we camped Minstrel’ Coat NM for about 1-2 hours (I really don’t know how much time I spent there) but once it popped and killed, no drops at all. At least I got lot of WHM scrolls I will be able to use in future ^^
Then we checked Joyeuse NM’ spot too, but after some kills it didn’t want to show off, and then we gave up :c
And I want to be a RDM when I’ll grow up (lmao)

More accomplishments.

Unfortunately I couldn’t do any Promathia mission as I hoped to do. Actually people in Aht Urghan and Jeuno were shouting for EVERYTHING cop-related but not 3.5 x_x I started shouting and found only one guy with no Pso’Xia pass x_x;;

I attempted NPC fellow’s final BC in Qu’Bia Arena. That BC area gives me the creep. That’s where I fought Maat, ahah.
I think Michael had dinner, so I set off to Fei-Yin, along with Kaku. I tought that a Raise II could be handy instead of buying a Reraise Scroll with my CP.

With BC cap 50, my only avaiable jobs were BRD, WHM and SMN only. Never tought about bard due its low MP and sucking dmg ability, and WHM could be nice for NPC supporting.
But blah to everything and went there as SUMMONER!
Savul was set up ad Soothing Healer, but imho the Shielder type could be better in this case, so he could heal himself sometimes, and let me save some mp^^
On the first attempt, everything worked fine till Savul died with NM @5% hp. My bad, I did not cure him when he was about to die, I lacked on mp t.t
On the second try, I took more ethers with me (had 6, used 3) and used the same strategy. “Pulled” with Ifrit, and concentrate to keep Savul alive. Double Punch almost each mins and then…. DEAD BOSS!

I couldn’t believe I succeed in killing it. Never seen such a painless and easy battle. And actually smn rocks. That’s why I had no probs with that :D
I also broke the record on my server^^ Consider I wasted lot of time recovering for MP too, once inside I had to Titan->Stoneskin, Blink, Protect and Shell myself x_X

I think I would be ok even with no buffs, since the mob hit me only once, so I did not received any damage at all.
Suggestion for this BC ? Grab you mage job for keeping him alive. Maybe RDM/NIN can melee and cure, but dun’t know. The certain thing is that your friend must be always healthy. Bring ethers. ^^

Regarding Artifact’s fever, I got Evoker’s doublet. And it was PAINFUL.
Getting coffer key was not a problem at all. We found a party comping NM for thief’ knife and they gave me the drop they found while hunting mobs around where me and Mich was.
I was happy, but poor me, I didn’t know what awaited me.

We happily started to search for the chest. First, second, third pop and so on. On the end, the awful truth: The chest could be behing the uggalepih door.
Got Key, removed invis and deadtaru.

Tonberries aggroed me from the other side, wtf.
Went there the day after for a second try, went inside but of course coffer was after the second door. That’s when we decided to leave Kaku there ready to open the firs door. But no luck searching for prelate key.
On the 3d day, Kaku logged and….. saw somebody opening the second door o_o She entered and logged off again, waiting for us to open the first door.
With the aid of Draken we managed to do everything, and I happily got my artifact with no more losses =_=

I also expressed all my love on Allakazham, my love for Uggalepih and its coffer.
You can find it under SMN-Coffer Key.

Since I couldn’t COP, I raised SMN a little more! Jumped from 56 to almost 60 (Yay to IV-tier spells!)
I’m waiting to do AF’BCs, I also suicided on the weapon fight for a kiting experiment XD
Imho AF head is nice only when doing BPs (like Hastega) and I’ll probably switch to Austere for the rest of the fight, like I already do with the body.

I gone to bed like @6 AM, after that wonderful party I made (we finished at five I think), watching end of a movie (The Fly 2, wtf.) and randomly askin Aini why she was still awake XD (She’s german, so same timezone as me)
Those people were so nice, I hope to party with them again!

Last but not least, I’ll get soon my taruhands on a turbant. Almost 18k IS, 2k to go!
It looks horrible but the stats are quite nice^^ I’ll enjoy that as BRD and one day as SMN and WHM too.

And I didn’t know Mich is a girl. LOL.

Artifact lovers!

Oh my, been a while. And I have a million things to talk about, and don’t know where to start!

I obtained Leviathan, just done a very quick run with Xeel, came as NIN. We had to take his big lazy ass to cloister, otherwise I could say /goodbye to my avatar.

Next aim is Fenrir, but I’ll take it easy and get it when I am enough high to be able to fight him with summoner. And hopefully I will not have to pay anyone for it.

I applied for a famous linkshell on my server. Its name is SpikeFlail, and that’s the one where Yarly (jtaru) is in. I really don’t know if they’ll accept me or no, their reaction on forums confused me.
I was 100% sure that no one would care about this little taru bard with no sea, few merits and no dyna clears. But they welcomed me warmly, I even met some of them ingame and /wave /poke me! At least I found new friends : O
I really hope to be accepted, I’m actually waiting for the apply result.

Then again, I think BRD will R.I.P. when I hit 75 with SMN. Coz I can do anything like the one wrote on the log. I can kill EP with SMN withouth being seriously hurted x_x
Dunno really, I have no motivations for brd, since I can’t do anything serious with it (at least now)
I am only 52, jumped from 50 to this level with a wonderful party I made…. and I’m happy coz I had both COR and RDM *_* I had always MP and could do all kind of Blood Pacts.
Michael bought me the austere robe, fire and water staves…. thank you! Now I miss carby mitts only :(
I absolutely need find someone willing to help me.

We started hunting coffers for our AFs. But I realize something bad……. I did not finish White Mage artifact hand quest. A stupid coffer @Beadoux. Was a little emo for this matter :(

Been a whole night searching for the key, me and Mich ended as dead bodies on the ground (And it was the first of a series of multiple deaths o_o)
“Better luck next day” I tought! And that’s how it want, thanks to Draken’s Treasure Hunter :3

So, the artifact dance started. We’re ok untill 57. I got legs, hands and shoes. And it was fun, despite the deaths I mentioned above /lol

Can’t wait to get and wear the body!
And if you don’t know, we cosplayed as RDM and SMN at last comicon, so it will be sorta of a reminescence of those days :O

We also raised our NPC fellow levels, and now Savul is almost 50, this means it’s time for that BC @Fey’in. I can go there as whm, brd or smn only, I’ll probably give it a try with SMN. If Savul plays right, I can dare to spread my 2H at least two times…..

And he looks very nice with austere robe, I can’t wait to see him in noble ^^

I did the event quests yesterday, and made it in time o_o!
The club is very nice and fits well dream robe and hat, but most of all that print furnishing looks cool in my house^^

Unfortunately I did not take any screenshot of my little place, so I can’t show you how nice is :(

This week-end was so nice, despite some real life troubles and random emo thiefs :/
Beat this!
