    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!

    So, this is what you call HAXING

    Scholar *still* has no love…I really need to get over it and start going to horrible places and solo, or maybe waiting for Sofo or Ultimatetaru to catch on me and go duo!
    I only need something around level 50, after that I could attempt doing some campaign and leech from Kerb in sea and Uleguerande.

    Helped Kogenta to get her Genkai 2 quest done. I already solo’d those 3 NMs (before nerf~) on SMN once, but this is totally another story. WHM/NIN. Also true that those three mobs are gimped now, but I would have killed them easy even before the change! Maybe with a support~
    I should try killing more stuff as WHM melee, really having so much fun! Will probably do this again on AF quests and more genkais :3
    And I still need to fight Maat on this job! Just lazy to farm the testimony >.<!

    Totally stole this screenshot from Sofo, since I forgot to take one!
    For last Salvage run, we decided to split up. Panoramix needed Usukane feet lvl15, and that means kill the stupid “reach floor in 30 min” frog.
    Since we had 2 full parties we splitted, and I got to lead second group on a relaxed Bhaflau remnants farming run. Run that turned out super productive!

    Just ignore NM’s name, having fun with DATs sometimes is w-i-n.
    Got a total of 2 Marduk legs (gratz to Sofo and Magnumm!) and a pair of Morrigan hands; Pace is still haxing and he got those~
    Best thing was the double drop on our third spider (popped …. 5 i think) and people did really an AWESOME job on our last Spider came up at 3%. Nothing out that tough :(

    More PLD news <3!! About to get BQ ring soon (I hope before Sunday!) and Iron ram hands if I whore Campaign enough.
    Now it’s kinda late and I’ll just make an awesome summary in-a-pic :3 (started this post two days ago, then got sick -again- and been home 2 days, resuming it at 3.30AM!)

    *stares, drools and dies*
    Did Odin few hours ago and yeah, mlegs dropped. Along with Mbody, that’s one of the items I’m craving most at the moment and I can actually get in short terms. I’d say, luckily there were no cursed up on AH, and asked Aviendha if she could synth a pair of me. Many “things never HQ” and such followed in /l. But HEY WTF, FIRST TIME I SEE A +1 (actually a -1 now!) CRAFTED FOR MYSELF! And I thought I brought bad luck.
    Too bad I couldn’t uncurse, because SE decided to pick my fee money during night, when my CC service is down …..>.<!

    Limbus dropped Apollyon mats I needed …..:o I had temenos one for long time! I had about 70 coins total, but I guess I’ll have to wait a lil more for my Loquacious Earring! (Yes, gimp mage w/o one yet, got Musical first!)

    The equip icon may be a bit lol especially due the lack of white borders…….we are going to do JoL on Sunday and I’ll tank it too! Got some decent amount of MDB and Damage%- thingies for my PLD/RDM.
    Iron ram Lance, NQ Kaman (sadly >.<;) Coral mail, Coral rings x2, Lamia Mantle +1 and Askar feet. Amina will lend me his coral legs+1, and I really really hope to get Iron ram hands! I can’t really wait to try this, been hyper all week!

    I’m still shakin’ for the cursed -1, I need to sleep and relax! :D~

    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!
    Mithra AA Jazaraat Duo~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.

    First MB Death!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!

    Such a lotwhore!

    Disappeared! Why? Some of you know this already, but I had a little quick surgery :o
    Everything went fine and cool and that gave me..like 2 weeks off work! After first days of total pain (I couldn’t even move in my bed) I played bunch on FFXI…those are the results.

    MIssing in the pic: RDM subligars, Sorcerer’s Petasos and Scholar 40! Omg @.@; I’m still shacking irl!

    Did Dynamis-Xarcabard on Saturday night, which it was the same day I had the surgery, and my linkshell gave me this awesome present! Sorcerer’s Petasos!!! I still can’t believe it and I’m so happy!
    Really thank you for my BLM wet dream item.
    Dyna bubu, 2 Sorcerer’s belt dropped and I managed to snag one! Gratz Distress for the other one :3~

    Morrigan body 35 o.o I dunno how I’ll get all the ingots, I have like 2 and probably can buy a third, I’ll dare my luck doing tons of BCNMs, need money like now!
    Also, our set is going to turn out real cool, we have so many recruits, just a matter of time and we gonna rock!

    Did three Cerberus ZNMs and got not even a single trigger drop. Fight was really easy even with the Dispel thing on Stoneskin and the whole Chainspell thing..
    Four condom hats (Oracle’s cap!) dropped and there it is my “definitive” hMP head. Too bad SCH can’t wear any Oracle’s :(

    Made a quick Sacrarium farm last saturday, dragged 5-6 people and I finally got Glamour Jupon (for sch!) and Gaudy harness!

    Scholar 40! I LOVE this job, is so much fun. I can’t wait to get my first weather spell and get to 50, start to happily leech a bit in sea, lol. Manifestation/Accession are indeed the most cool thing ever, even this gimps a bit my own jobs (like Divine Veil/Seal each min at 75)~
    Goal? 75 in August!

    Omg <3 you people and happy to still have fun in this awesome game :3!
    Quick summary of what happened, to tell the world I’m not dead!

    Finally, the EGG! And perspective of new job.

    Always ending up with lot of stuff to talk about! Need to stop failing already and post more often (this is getting old, I know) …At work and really, really tired. Went to sleep at something like 5.30AM and woke up at 7.30 AM or so, not blaming some random taru because it’s my fault too :p
    Totally gonna post more picture than actual test, because I’m not feeling well either (having very bad nausea since yesterday, hope it will be gone soon ; ;)

    We finally did KS99 turtle. Didn’t have so many orbs because item wise is not really a good bc, egg is the only reason to do that and as for striders…might as well just camp em.
    Kerb finally got his egg! And this means he’s completely done with Black Belt. I offered my KSs for the whole thing and one dropped on my run too, which I offered to Hannaoak since he camped a lot Aspi with us. And Selim got a 3d one! Congratulations people!

    Still regarding Kerb and his MNK, we camped Oztroja NMs for a while. I TOTALLY hate camping shit, especially when re spawn is not well defined. Because I like to relax between “ints” and can do other stuff, like just chatting and/or drawing!
    Nothing dropped yet, I wonder when those two stupid birds will put their items out :(

    Rotten luck on Ix’Drk. This makes me…….. 1/1 on both DRG AND DRK. But I’m like 0/5 on Mnk >.<
    Anyway, thanks ALOT to Amina for popping/camping this bitch. And congratulations to Falcoo for the other cape! We hax now :D
    I really see good improvements using this piece of gear, I’m so happy I managed to get it. Now, since my virtue stones starts to finish and we’re out of HQ Aern organs, I guess me and Kerb are forced to be back killing more of them!

    FINALLY NIN37. About time. Utsusemi:ni dropped off PCC bc (Thanks Michael for letting me use your orb!)~
    Me and Kerb duo’d from lvl 19 till…26 or so. Then we joined Thaumboy and Chronus for some quick -Anniversary ring powered- exp! And got 37 in like 2-3 days. I’m so happy I’m done with this sub.
    Now I’m working on RDM, and I’m 1/3 into 31. Was 24 last Friday!

    Also helping its exp doing escort, Rivenworth and Mammet BC. Quick and fun stuff to do! Especially escort, I really like it! Sleeping 495744949 mob around you is lol, even if I’m little afraid to die or something in the end x.xxx But Kerb’s there too so I’m really ok.

    Once I’ll be done with RDM, I’ll start my new job: Scholar! Really been undecided between 5, but after some toughts I picked Sch :p Why ?
    First, the job on “selection” were DRG, BST, MNK, RDM and SCH.

    • Dragoon. I’d LOVE to have that, it’s a powerful melee which some kind of little magic (hi wyvern!)
      But then again, who wants a DRG over a BLM, BRD, WHM, PLD leveled coming at events ? I won’t use it anywhere and it will make me emo.
    • Beastmaster, kinda same of above. I also think about Salvage, who the heck wants a BST in salvage instead of a BLM or BRD ?
    • Monk. I saw Kerb working SO HARD getting all his equipment, and only idea of killing Oztroja NMs, or Boroka, and camping BB items makes me sick. If I want to play mnk, I’ll just use his when he’s offline.
    • Red Mage. I realized I don’t want a WHM clone. Same stuff+refresh. Hell no. Plus so many LVL2 merits to get, nothanks. Aaaaaaaaand I don’t want to level DRK subjob. I don’t want to chainstun ever……
    • Scholar. Unique! Versatile in each situation. Can be very efficient as Healer, damage dealer, en-feebler and mage supporter. Plus I can make Kerb gasm with weather :P (and I can randomly leech from him once I get thunderstorm, which is lvl51) Also, i already have all required merits (capped elemental, almost done with Enfeebling) and will use both blm and whm gear. Quite smart, uh? :3

    I lol’d on “Next job poll” results. On 25 votes, 8 voted BST, 8 RDM, 5 SCH and 4 MNK. Didn’t know the whole Beastmaster thing had this big fan pool! I want to know who those people are :D!

    Finally done some limbus again. Apollyon tiem! Killed Kaiser Behemot! About time!
    I noticed so much improvement since last time we’ve done NW. With like TONS of new merits i got and gear. Never got a single spell resisted (sleeps and binds too) and that greatly improved our killspeed. I’m so happy!
    BLM and SMN items dropped, but sadly I already have Apollyon item, and SMN…..I just don’t care. Tossed it, lolSMN. Now I want Temenos one to drop >.< Really need to upgrade hands!

    I found my new god in FFXI. THE HUEG CORN! I swear I want a thing like that IRL and be able to FIRE IV it.
    Can’t imagine how much cool would be some popcorn rain, I know I’m quite retarded *_*;;; But whatever, it’s just me. Luv FFXI and this random nonsense. (And it’s ok, I’m mad, known fact)

    Tried to save my macros on server to load ‘em on Xbox. And it works awesome! You need to press some weird combination on character selection to make it work (all I remember is, ctrl+alt+shift+B to save on pc, left stick and one of those upper buttons to load data on console)
    Now, time to play some on my sofa, relaxing, with comfy environment! (mostly at merits or some easy going stuff)

    Random stuff!



    Got 2nd hax blm piece! So awesome during magic bursts tiems, and some +Dark magic never hurts :3!
    Also, it’s the only piece of AF2 I really want/it’s worth to upgrade. I hope to be able to get the -1 sometimes x.x
    Hax campaign exp as PLD. Tanking shit getting hit often is worth something! Need more Koenig for moar HP and bloodtanking. Please?

    Oh and we killed LBC. We are really ok, getting more members. About time! But hate we’re randomly 6 people (inlcuded some botted Graeson) or so. But better than nothing!

    Started a new drawing while ago. While there are STILL stuff that don’t look good, this is goin quite fast D:
    Maybe will be able to finish it within a week or so! Kerb face looks so funny, it’s lovely!
    Gonna scan the sketch sometimes today or tomorrow, and post it on my portfolio~

    Sorry for my telegraphic post today, just didn’t want to skip any stuff but was also lazy to write >.<
    So tired, need to sleep once i get home for lunch!
