Mandau! And random BLM happenings.

I’ve been kinda busy managing all the server blog scripts in the last days but at least I finished some nasty work that will make everything easier in the future. One command Wordpress updates, yay!

But enough of this geekery. Kinda slacked recently with blog posts and as usual I’m at that point I have infinite stuff to talk about and uh… I’m a bit tired and sleepy, and of course I’m at work, supposed to do some serious stuff.

BLM growin’ up nicely. Managed to get some crazy amount of merits (thanks Kerbz :3) that let me raise Elemental skill, and I’m so close to cap… 2 more points!

After this need to focus on potencies. I’ve them so low :( Level 2 both Ice and Thunder. Need blue numbers! For hax damage and suicide attitudes during events.

Last Dynamis Bastok been…….horrible performance and drop wise, but I got to lot one of the two AFs that dropped. And it’s my first BLM AF2! I really love the Sorcerer set look, and plus this is one of the few/real hax pieces! I’m so happy^^!

Still regarding Dynamis, we saw our first Hydra drop ever o.ooooooooo!

Too bad it’s a useless NPC piece. Anyway, gratz to Kerb, lol D:

Did some farmings in sea and finished (finally I’d say) my Thunder obi. Almost done, I’m just 2 organs away from the last one, Wind obi for Kirin fights!
Me and Kerb are also farming Ix’MNK pops, for some duo glory and cape faith. I only have AF1 gloves as ELE+ equipment, which it sucks so hard when I have to fight mobs like Khimaira, Kirin, Tiamat or something. Considering I’ll get Sorc hat in 2012 and can’t have Nashira feet since I’m not doing Limbus.
Oh well!

We completed another relic! Congratulation for your Mandau to my sweet Falcat!
This one has been kinda an odyssey XD First, relic dagger didn’t want to drop at all at Dynamis Windurst, and then Coo accidentally tossed it >.< ……and kept being unlucky with the drop.
And of course, can’t forget the attestation bad fortune! Somehow I even got an autolotted club attest once, lulz.

After the “event” in Zi’tah, we tried the new “toy” in Bohyada tree and everything ended with me kiting all mandys and attempting to MPK Kerberoz (unsuccesfully ;;) and having me eating dirt for the lulz.
Gratz again Falcoo!

Camped and claimed for a bit Dune boots Cactuar NM.
Definitely an Epic Fight. 2 Wars, 1 WHM, 1 BLM, 1 attacker NPC which it died shortly after because I couldn’t waste my MP on him.

Having no refresh and 2h the whole thing have been sooo MP sinking ;; and that was the cause of our first wipe D:! Someone should have came Corsair! Not really referring to anyone in particular, lulz :p
Second time went kinda smooth, even if me and Kerb were the only ones alive, and finally killed that goddamn bitch D:
And, I totally forgot I had Devotion, cracks I used that day were really good quality I guess <.<!

PLD almost done!
Started leeching/playing in merits. One time I even turned into a main healer, because keeping hate with fully merited 75s with godly gear at colibri’ is the lulz. Azmaria lent me his Vermy and i subbed……. smn and with some gear I managed to get almost 800 mp. Wow, should try making some real healing build (but will leave the lolSJ part) because I have some salvage evil plans.
Taru PLD = hax mp = spam cure = keep hate! Time to do some bosses!
I just need Ninja sub (and be lucky with PCC bc for utsu:ni scroll as well) and some basic merits to actually start using it, especially in Salvage. PLD is kinda useless there, but I want to test out something and…anyway need some tanks. And taru PLD with the hueg MP pool is awesome. Just need to find some …….body boost <.<!

Done some sea stuff last weekend and snatched out a justice sword :<
Prudence torque dropped as well, but I couldn’t get to lot, but It’s really ok because that’s a “pro” item, for BLM debuffs macros only. I’m using a Philomat Stole as neck and have to use food to reach 150 INT at the moment, with Kirin pole too :(

Only BLM thing I want now are Morrigan Cuffs but…… when we going to try to actually kill LAC?
And Macha’s pants when ? ; ;

What about your babies Aspi?

Camping is gay. At least you can sit and chat between intervals, which is a good thing.
Or napping, since lately I kinda killed my sleep for this stupid turtle >.<

A turtle that doesn’t want to give (her?) egg out!
Been camping that thing for something like a whole month by now, and despite we claimed many Adamants (but no Aspi, can’t win that easily with bots :\) we’re still with no drop! Trying to claim that for Koenig feets also, but if egg drops I’ll just leave it and just ignore. Better camp more useful stuff next, like Joytoy for my PLD and BRD >.<!

While in Vos, and once in Bohyada, I kept skilling stuff. I need to cap staff and club! And sometimes soon I’ll have to cap sword as well on PLD @.@;; /superlazyetcetc
I managed to get 230 with club and finally…….. 200 with staff! About time I’d say!

Now uhm……..think I’ll stop skilling :p It bores me to death. I don’t hide the fact I’d love to get Retribution for BLM and SMN (spamming that each time i bot Kerb D:) but this is a minor thing that can definitely wait!
But it looks so damn cool. Especially on tarus. Guess I’ll skill again helping kerb to unlock his knuckles when he’ll need it :3

Last Dynamises were both true awesomeness (Buburimu) and total failure (Bastok)
Bubu dropped lot of nice stuff (but no Valor capes or Sorc belts, duh!) and despite some HUGE links, we managed to clear more than we used to, and started playing with scorps…. and I admit it wasn’t that bad.
But I want cocks. Yes, cocks. (For sorc belt, and I know already last sentence will get me lot of spam in the future D:)
Bastok failed. No boss kill, only a BLM af which I passed to Genkotsu (which it’s really killing me inside ;; but more will come I hope, sexeh pantssssss ;;!)

Second sky week. Been doin triggers as much as I could, having some insane BLM fun as well. Especially at Despot.
I <3 camping despot doin manaburn. Even if that ends with me eating dirt, which is definitely not good but I’m already used to that, so no worries!
Died so many times on other farmings as well, and mostly for noob actions :(
Broke the record on Faust with something like 3~ death to reach the orange room ;;

And I’m currently aiming for PLD stuff. So yeah, Koenig Head and Hands (too bad hands are bad, but I guess it’s just for the look and for lotwhoring sake).
Last week surprisingly not even a single martial showed off, unlike last Sunday! This means…

Gumbi was nice too, and gifted me with his shield. So happy! Gonna use this on WHM, and later on, on RDM.
That was like the oldest sky wish list item i had!
Then I’m kinda done with sky, not even considering wlegs because I have like 38473798 people before me D:
(So gay how we NEVER get crimson legs on kirin…………meh.)

3d Einherjar cycle to Odin, only two chambers left. We managed to get our first T3 clear yesterday. Red bats and Leeches, Cerberus boss. Easy stuff.

And, surprise, an Abjuration drop! Too bad it’s such useless nonsense like……… Phantasmal legs. Yeah, Shadow cuishes, which I ended getting them. Well, at least those are cute and pairing so nice with Askar feet!
Wtf need to finish it! Waiting for Graeson to catch us with his DRK, and then running together to 75. Can’t wait ;;

<salvagerants>
And to end this post, all I need is a rant. What is better than Salvage to rant on?
Well. Starting to get annoyed. Having less and less people coming after each run. Failing on bosses. Gave up telling people what to do.
Getting so much 35s is wonderful, but not being able to SEE a 25 is horrible. Especially when you actually HAD money (all spent by now, fuck that) to pay for your upgrade material.
And I hate coming BRD 9 times out of 10runs. I like bard, but in salvage it’s something beyond utter boredom and gives me the feel like being……not enough useful, and a leech.
When I come whm it ends being a Bhaflau run which is mostly an AFK run for an healer. Since we can’t do boss, gg. And lag helps fucking things as well.
I’d like to come whm more as well, since I love the job, but laggy healer is not really a good idea, so …uh.
I’d like to go blm sometimes, but unfortunately there is no other brd, since the 2nd one is our thf. Yay.
And fucking Dekka keeps not dropping at all. Bleah.
</salvagerants>

<3 Kerb for meriting and getting me Burst II! Almost 2k damage on stuff, SEXY!

Resume of tales

Merits merits merits. My whoreness is spreading more and I’m getting as many merits as i can, as long with some buffer I always need, it’s always useful! I got another five-ish points and could unlock Protectra V and other things.
If I keep meriting like that, I hope to reach a good point soon. Besides classes ability (WHM, BRD) I so need to raise hp and mp up, and I’m really tempted to cap club :c (well, one day, not now^^)

We kept doing Silver Sea Remnants instead Kerb’ initial plans.
We were really hoping to finally see some good drop but droprate sucks alot =_=;; Guess everything will be fine after this super update. I still can’t get any Marduk piece since we’re stuck in that Area, area wich drop like 4897398573 Enyo’ mask. (should be a 100% drop I think)
Let’s see if SE will fix this for real or if they just said some random words to keep all complaining people about it.

And my soro mission to Apocalypse Night is going well. Mhhh…guess what? I got another sliver.

But this time I decided to try to soro the top. Yeah, you have heard it well, SOLO the top of Promyvion.
Geared up as lolSMN lvl30, summoned Savul at the entrance and then I set off to the first Memory Receptacle. I beat it and went to 2nd floor.
The fight was easy, but those lol strays really ANNOYS me. That’s why I think that you need at least 2 persons, one focusing on receptacle (a SMN is the best) and someone else worrying about stray (somebody with ranged-high damage abilities please!)
Anyway, I found a PT on the second floor who also thanked me to have cleared the receptacle for em as well and then I reached the top with those japanese people.
Naotin was in it, a strange cutie jap taru I actually don’t know, but I was used to /blush to him when I was new in game ^^
Blonde taru with glasses, it’s sooo cute!

Limbus! Because I said I love it, ya? Well,yesterday we did Ultima. I have bad memories since that thing wiped me @CoP missions in all possible ways, and was really afraid to see deathga again due to it. (I only saw a single death xforgothowmanytimes on a single LS member, and I’m sorry for you ; ;)
Despite some crit moment (as always!) we killed it of course. This run “dropped” a total of 18 coins, SAM and WAR upgrade materials, Nashira head and feet. Then….

My White Mage is now happier and less crappy ^_^ I’m starting gearing up it seriously. Sold back my blessed body and bought legs instead, since those are more useful and can go now with Jeff’ Vermillion Cloack+Blessed legs. Now I need mitts and rostrum pumpz!
Should do also a ENM run to get an hedghog bomb, -emnity, yay!

Manteel!
No, it’s not mine. But I can actually wear it when lolJeff is offline. He got one back from LS and I’m really happy for him! And I really thank thank thank him for letting me borrow his manteel when he doesn’t play! (And borrowing other things like Apollo and Mary’s :p)

I did Dynamis Xarcabard for the first time. Not really that exciting. After doing all areas I can say my favourite one is Beaucedine and….Tavnazia. I vote Dyna Tav only for the drunken idea programmers had with music.
You start with normal BGM then…….WTF SUMMER EVENT MUSIC? It’s so lol. Really. Can’t use other words. You smash fomors and monsters with that music. It’s kinda hyronic. Not to mention the fact that it changes to X-mas Jeuno music when you approach to Diabolos. Seriously, all Dynamis areas should be like this. And SE is really drunk!
Anyway, this run was AFless since only one thing dropped. And the best one ever I would add. RDM pimp hat! Congratulations to Mallo (…..i think?) who got it! We tought we were like blessed regarding drops when we started since first monster→100 byne. Poor fools!

Yesterday we also did Kirin. And, I don’t really think I’ll go to another run ever. I hate Kirin. I don’t care about Osode or abj. It’s just stress. I hate Kirin from the bottom of my heart thanks to yesterday. Not doing that anymore, I swear it.

It’s like 10.15 AM here and I’m blogging from work as usual. This thing keeps me distracted quite alot while I should work >.>; but I am really bored/tired recently ;_; I need holidays T_T

I started fixing lighting/saturation/etc of the screenshots I always upload on Flickr, pics always updated in “Galleries” section. They looked so dark on some monitors (like here at work) and after those look better with new brilliant colors!^^ I should fix my gamma-lighting in game too. Sometimes it’s hard to see things! (like Dynamis!)

And yeah, the same reminder: Kerb we need to book and cross fingers for weddingz, Jeff will be our chaperone! <3

And no Maiev dear, I won’t come on Fenrir! It’s too late now! I’m sorry ;_; But I should come back there more often with my Jowy char like I used to do :)

Video! What you do while waiting LS events to start.

Merits please ?

While my Summoner is still sitting at level 74 (having no Ying Yang Robe or seeing no SMN drops at all in dynamis makes me quite sad) I managed to get some lolMerits as long with some BRD buffer with linkshell people.
Got like…9 merits in few hours. Could have bring both WHM for more safe exp and SMN to 75 it in that party but nevermind :)

Should party with them again I guess >_>; I really need a lot of merits and I thank the update because lot of people will start parting again like crazy….then again all areas will be full/crowded more than usual. I actually don’t mind to set camp in sky/sea/ranperre/whatever anyway, can be fun! And everything is good if you can get limit points :D
Spent all meripos on White Mage, following some tips Falcoo gave me:

• Bar spell effect  2
• Shellra V  1
• Devotion  1

I also need to get an Apollo staff asap. -_-; I cant really sleep colibris at Nyzul Isle camp (mostly failing) and I’m also using a lolNursemaid harp, no Mary’s Horn D;…. need to camp (again) that damn sheep and start rasining ores for the staff, hoping that a random crafter (I mean, Falcoo) will be able to HQ that.

I’ve managed to proceed alone in “Shadows of the Departed” quest. Doing /sea on Promyvions while do nothing or getting borred may be quite productive.
I followed a party in Mea straight to 4th floor. I helped them to reach the Spire and it was actually a very clean and fast run to the top o_o; No aggros or deaths!
And after a while….

I was REALLY AFRAID to die and be forced to HP. I had no Reraise (went there in a rush as BRD/WHM) and even forgot to call Savul on the first floor to assist me!
Next time I’ll bring some RR items with me, just to be sure :x And call my cute fellow :x!

And FINALLY I am rank 9. One more to go. I did the lolCardian fight with no hassle (I think I could be able to solo it :D) with Michael and Xeel. Now I need to farm a Gobbue Humus in order to proceed in the story, so boring!

And I hate farming. Especially when I’ve been raped while ago by a stupid antlion in Attowha while trying to get Rostrum Pumps trigger ;_; That damn thing runs SO FAST and it can’t let me recast an avatar again…. iFail!
Next time I’ll bring there a lolSleeper/Refresher with me, who do you think he will be ? <.<

I finally tried Limbus D: I blame Khasim/Kendlar/Darkbrillance/Falcoo/Jski/ etc etc to make me try that thing! D:
Temenos-Central 1. I didn’t expect to be fast like this o_o; but I enjoyed it. Now I want to see Apollyon since it looks so Promy-ish, and I somehow love all Promyvions….yeah call me crazy :D

And I even got SMN’ upgrade item …. ‘-’; I am not planning to +1 any piece of my artifact, I’d rather save coins (coins I am selling at the moment) for Choral Cuffs +1. And why not, Choral Cannions +1 as well.

Today: Salvage. Kerberoz decided to leave Silversea Remnants for a while and head to Bahflau to get all pieces there. Can’t wait ^ ^!
