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!

Week-end of wonders

Quite a nice weekend I would say. I had really so much fun with all Linkshell people.
But, before starting to write about it, I am happy to say that my WHM hit lvl75 ^_^ (and before SMN rofl………)
I’ll have three 75s this week. Only 20k to go on Summoner. I had a party that lasted soo much and sucked a bit, and I was like …40k exp to go. Slowly and with patience (LS merits where!) I finally got it :3!

I also tried salvage for the first time! Actually it wasn’t planned but Kerberoz asked me to come and I tought “why not”. And then I went there to test that thing out. Silver Sea Remnants.

The only problem regarding this are assault points. I don’t attend to Assault so often! And I still need to get my Ygit body (Periqa points stuck at something around 2k, duh………) , but since I’ll be finished with exp business, I will have more free time! (not willing to raise more jobs for now, except for BLM37 since it would be a nice add for WHM, as sub)
The run went just fine with no hassle. Except some uhm…..deathGA parts. If you’re going to Salvage, remember that roaming gears aren’t your friend ;_; (were hiding from them in the second sreenshot I posted :x)
But hey, Marduk pieces where?

Saturday I went to sleep @8am o_o; My parents had to leave for holidays @6AM so I decided to wait for em all the night, while playing FFXI of course!
Dynamis, Salvage, EXP, PLing session to some friends, Turtle camping @Sorrow Wall….quite busy! I blame timezones, and I wish I can do something like this again. Maybe not right now, but for sure as soon as I’ll get my long-sought house (hopefully in July….. x_x)

More Linkshell events! Cape Riverne whores. Went there to face both Ouryu and Mr. Bahamut. But I hate Ouryu uncapped -_-;;;
The fight is so easy and troubless, but I can still find a way to die! And I died like 5-6~ times in 5 fights there. Was not used to its AoEs at first, then was aggroed by random worms I didn’t see, and last my WHM noob skills killed me as well D:

Unlike Ouryu (at least for me), Bahamut V.1 went so fine. No deaths, I came as WHM again. I think I will use BRD less now, since Jeff is playing full time and we have relic-horn gurl, Kamalii. But I enjoy BRD! I only wanted an alternative job for all events, beside SMN suited for HNM only, /sigh. I bought Sha’Ir feet few days ago ^_^° (Now only manteel is left…rofl!)
Anyway! Spammed Cure V and Haste for a while and then we were done D: Thank you Graeson for helping us to do this mission! Apocalypse Night (When?)

I bought some FFXI stuffs online few days ago o_o! Books books and books. FASHION BOOKS!

I can’t wait to get em, and hopefully………..those will inspire me to draw something. Those things are full of references and pictures I can’t wait to see! Too bad my scanner is broken and I can’t buy a new one till i move, due no space in “my” room. So wished to scan something and put it online (like tons of tarutaru pics!)

I wanted to talk about CoP “Easy mode” as well. Imho, it sucks. I did COP almost in the Old style way (aka: exp loss) and seeing what SE is doing right now makes me sad. Why don’t let Tenzen/Prishe/Louverance/etc doing fights for you? And.. WTF they said they will make Tenzen EASIER? -__-;
CoP may be painful sometimes, but the reward is worth it. And hey, with this update sea will be GS’ new territory. GREAT WORK SQUARE ENIX UH?

I helped friends with CoP even with exp loss. With no exp reward. Then again, SE should let people to choose:

• “Easy path” (no exp loss, easier mobs etc)
• “Normal/Hard Path” (maybe no exp loss as well, but mission like those are now.)

Only people who compleate EACH mission in Normal/Hard mode should be able to get the ring @end of CoP. Maybe this can be ideal for people aiming for sea only. But in this way we’ll have still gilsellers.
/sigh.

Shantotto Custom Model

I found this link some weeks ago.
This awesome artist made a homemade custom Shantotto figure, and the details are so impressive, I wish I could learn to do such things in the future ^^

I asked to a friend of mine (very fluent in japanese) if she could contact the author for some shipping and price infos and she did. (Thank you Mono :*)
Unfortunately the artist won’t sell the model for now, and that’s really a pity ;(
Like me you would probably buy this, won’t you ? XD Let’s wait and hope then u_u
