Diabolos, down!

Thanks to some people, and blog/LJ readers too I decided to start writing again. Not going to exaggerate with the lot sums, because I’ll try to focus to the actual events and especially my Chains of Promathia set.

Yes, CoP set. I talked about this some time ago, I have 6 friends that needed to do all missions, cept one of them who’s at Promy Vahzl. That’s why I’m doing all fights each week, attempting to get them SEA sometimes soon!

Getting ready for the fight! Diabolos here we come!

Diabolos! Went in with PLD/WAR (me), DRG/NIN, SAM/NIN, BLU/NIN, WHM/BLM, WHM/BLM.
We were supposed to have only a White mage and a Red mage, but our RDM’s connection failed on him, and we would have to redo fight anyway twice so we tried. And went 1/2.

We wiped at first because of Head Butt not landing on first Nightmare…and Bio slowly killed us all!
It went quite good overall, I even luckily stunned a move with bash when head butt didn’t work in the last 15%….thanks God. I totally didn’t want to wipe twice.

Tanking Diabolos was absolutely a breeze. Even with war sub with no defender yet, since I’m so much used to blink tank right now. And because…I started tanking hard stuff like Jailer of Love, Omega, and even a Tiamat once! I’m really proud of how it went and I can’t wait to redo the fight for our RDM :)

I’m happy I’m blogging again, and I’m also sorry for not commenting as well to people. Gonna kick in again!
And I hope that writing about stuff more “available” to everyone, such missions, more readers will enjoy my posts :)
I’m back.

So….

Can’t everyone just stop flamming and be such assholes? What’s the problem? A pony? God.
I am sick of this. Yes, ruining the game and fun, because some people still actually have fun, dur.

And since I’ve been hit in my personal feelings, stop talking about stuff you don’t know of. I am talking to you, dear anonymous ChocoboGordo member(s). You will never gain any respect from anyone if you keep INSULTING people like this.

Real life? Me and Kerb? We have, and it’s not really related to cybering and shit you guys said. Because you don’t know anything about what’s goin on in our real lives, how you even DARE to start attacking something that’s not even game related?
If anyone in our LS said something about you guys it’s really limited to game. And saying “CG people have no RL” is actually fact, since everyone know that playing 12 hours/day is a mandatory requirement in your linkshell.

Do you have fun? This is just so pathethic. And sad. No one likes you. NO ONE.
So, when are you going to start flooding my journal with anonymous shit?

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!

Kiraa

I was supposed to write about something else today, -futile things- but I really can’t. Don’t even know if I should really talk about it, right now, in this blog. But I feel like I’m right doing so.

A FFXI friend, Kiraa -the whole name thing is kinda ironic- died yesterday.
I know most people didn’t like him, and honestly I find them hypocrite saying NOW good stuff about him and such. Like most people do in real life. But anyway.

I liked him, one of the few people I liked most in this game. Was used to poke him sometimes randomly on msn calling him gay noob and chatting about stuff and comforting each other about the whole “staying with someone from the other side of the world” thing (He was in love with a girl of another country as well)

I do not know him irl, but still feels like I’ve lost a “regular” friend of mine, I didn’t manage to sleep till 5.30AM~ (went to sleep 1hour before, and I usually fall asleep the instant I touch my bed)

Kiraa, I’ll miss you. No matter how people saying Internet friendship is worthless, it’s totally not true. And need to stop this post, crying.

Dynamis-Tarutaru

I have the feeling that lately stuff are not going too good; not really referring to FFXI in particular, it’s just some general bad mood.

Just to follow what I wrote in my last post, I tried tanking more stuff. Well, starting to think I’m not *that* bad.

We did some sky last weekend, and managed to switch to Paladin after some Byakkos (gratz Kerb for Haidates!)

Went first to Brigandish Blade and…..all right, I think I’m cursed with tanking. That thing lasted forever.
Our applicant THF had the knife already in his MH; later, me and Graeson found ourselves keeping that thing on in rage mode.. ugly times, I swear it. I just want to kill that thief.

After my “PLD bad experience n°4687549″ we moved to Suzaku. Happily held it for first 40% alone! Had more hate then Grae before it used Chainspell, lul.

I think the Nep (mah WHM!) hated me so much because he had to heal me with some Cures in a row making his galka MP cry :(
Sorry! Will be better next time, once I finish my NIN.

Currently almost 22, me and Kerb are working on that, and hopefully we’ll get 37 this month……I really hope so.

Will proudly ding 37 wearing Tarutaru/Wonder Kaftan (will switch to rse once I get proper levels :3) and I really doubt I’ll ever buy any single piece of gear for it, since I’ll be PL’d and will use Ambrosia. FTW!

Actually I’m resuming writing this post now (I started yesterday, while at work!) and I am so happy that SE decided to introduce again the Anniversary ring.
Last year I’ve been very stupid wasting all of that on WHM 68~+, while I could have saved it for SJs. Now that I think of, once NIN is done I’ll have no more boring stuff to level. RDM, SCH, DRG subs will be ok, or -like the DRG case- not too mandatory. This means I can waste all charges on ninja.

Been playing with FTABLE and VTABLE for a couple of days and I converted all races to tarutaru! Not hiding that this was very fun and I found myself rofling on keyboard out of nowhere~

Some shots of few friends posing with their new race.
Amina is something kinda scary…… and I think Graeson should have picked this race instead of lolugly blond hume. Tarutaru ftw!

Some NPCs were kinda screwed up, but the best part was when I entered Silver Sea Remnants and saw the most awesome thing ever: Ashu Talif fomors as taru!

Definitely the best mob ever~ along with Lamiae, lulz!

Still regarding Salvage……..I’m feeling so-so. I don’t know if I really want to keep doing that.
Just having some misunderstandings and there are few things I don’t like and I don’t agree with, which doesn’t really benefit the whole event at all. But whatever.
On the other hand, we’re really improving recently, and managed to accomplish something we were looking for long time: killing a boss. And yeah, LAC.

LAC is one of the easiest (even if I keep thinking that ARRA one is the easiest among all) and we decided to give that another try. Me as WHM, duh. Being happy with this set up, and fortunately I never lagged. I really love WHM in salvage, especially on bosses.

Well, ignore the “thf kill” stuff, lolnewbies :3
Both fights went fine (but a charmed Kerberoz attempted to kill me multiple times, unsuccessfully!) and we finally got to see some 25s. Bodb’s cuffs dropped and I manged to get.

Now I’m missing only the level 15 piece (surprisingly, I don’t have any Nemain’s, and got lvl. 25 head and body) and some Bloodwood lumbers….I’m really low on gils. Got 2 desynthing Soulflayer staves and Kerb bought me 3. This means I’m 7 lumbers short, and I barely have 100 gils……if only Brothers ENM or PCC dropped stuff.
Graeson also offered some money for Koenig shield and I need to return those 200k sometimes soon x.x
God I really hate money D: Always low on liquids!

Time to sell Kerb’ butt in the backyard of my mog house. Wonder if I’ll get something out of that!
