Serket Breaker

Is Serket considered an HNM? I thought he was, anyway I didn't log on until later today after sleeping in and getting some much needed sleep.

Last night Oric and I hit level sixty-one with Puppetmaster and White Mage with an amazing party. A great group of people too so that made it even better. The Paladin had to leave since he was already late to Dynamis so we took Aylah to Cape Terrigan to do some FoV and get her level. While I was there I got club skill 200 and got Judgment. Only twenty levels more and I'll have access to Hexa Strike. Also, I finally capped out my Summoner's Tier I Merits.

Back to Serket! Once I logged on this morning I went up to Whitegate to get some of my missing spells. Well, really only Cure V and Esuna. Have yet to try them out in parties, well, maybe not Cure V in case its really needed :) I figured I might as well get to work on my Summoner's Tier II Merits so I made way to the past to do some campaign. I grabbed orders for Hawk Eye III. Only problem was the only place that was under Quadav control was Beadeaux [S]. I was up to it though so I headed to Pashhow and got my tags. Let me tell you, I hated that place when it was under Bastokan control. Breakga is a bitch. I didn't get much from that battle so after it was over I buffed up and headed out to Beadeaux. I got lucky on the way there. Everytime something was going to wear off I was always in a safe spot. This is, well, the second time I've been in this area so I wasn't sure what to expect besides Imps. I didn't know where the fortifications were and I didn't find out where they were so I just decided to warp out.

Before I warped out I got a message from Zumayriss asking if I could help with Serket. I figured, what the hell so I headed out. I've never killed Serket before and I've never seen anybody kill him but I've heard he's not too hard at all. At first we had me a SMN and another SMN, PLD, SAM, DRG, DRG, RDM, and BLM. I guess I wasn't paying attention to what had happened but after being there an hour or so the PLD, SAM, one of the DRGs left. I thought they just had to go leave for an event but I found out later why they left.

Then, not even ten minutes after they left he popped! I was down near where the undead mobs popped when I got the call in the party and Zuma saying HURRY HURRY ITS SERKET. I GOT CLAIM. I ran down there so fast and by that time we were low on people. Only one melee, and two jobs that weren't really suited for the situation. Right away, the Red Mage got aggroed by a Chamber Beetle. His sleep didn't stick and he died and the Black Mage got magic aggro by one of the pots in the corner. With just the three of us left we managed to get him to around seventy percent. I was pretty lucky on which day we ended up fighting Serket since Garuda perpetuation was lower from the latent on my relic body.

I was running low on MP so I used Astral Flow and got off a few Predator Claws before having to Elemental Siphon again. Near fifty percent I decided to call in back up, because we were going to need it. Seraphe, Aylah, and Umi made it to Garlaige as fast as they could along with other help from Zeuss, the Red Mage, and we killed Serket. Serket Ring dropped, and I was the first to say {Carbuncle}ations to Zuma, but then I saw for Zeuss to lot as well. Take note, he was dead throughout the whole battle and didn't contribute at all. He got the ring ;-; and soon after I found out that if Zuma had gotten the ring that her sister Seita would get it. Her sister that didn't help, that wasn't there, and said nothing but for her sister to fail, I was pissed about that. I warped out and got ready for Sky.

Sky went good tonight, Steamcleaner popped on the first pull. Killed and got drop. Did some water farming, no water though but we had a good time :) Shiva was kicking ass today with Rush, my highest was 1202 :D We made a new friend today, Khaiya, who is able to join us on Skype! I'm slacking, too much for to blog about for the past few days. I'll probably have another for tomorrow too. Good-night.....or good-morning where you live :)

Now, {Viper Bite}

I finally ended up getting some sleep this morning. Even though it wasn't much, it was better than running on nothing the entire day. When I woke up, however, I was sad to hear that the Dynamis LS was going to split after this month's schedule was over. I almost regret not going to last night's run, but what can I do. Real life comes first. This Tuesday is Xarcabard and that upcoming Friday will be the last run, Dynamis - Bastok which is the first Dynamis run they did.

Its funny, when we first applied we were constantly waiting to be accepted and the day we did, I got this hilarious message:

"OMG! We're in! Now we have the pleasent task for getting to CoP 3-5 to be able to do any Dynamis. We wont be able to go on Saturday becuase its in Beaucedine and we have to beat all the cities to be able to enter that =/. oh well, that just gives us more time to get the CoPs done and get a nice buffer ^_^. I think Opinyu said that there would be people who would help us on CN get to CoP 3-5. Omg, i think i have carple tunnel or something, my wrist started hurting really bad when i was typing this. PS Hope you got your braces off ^_^"

Its sad they're splitting but in the mean time, I'm glad I got to experience these short six months with them. CarpeNoctem was such a well ran linkshell and the people there are great as well. I also can't complain for getting 5/5 Summoner relic. Its gon' be sad to see the linkshell disband though ;-;

Continuing on, Oric and I put together another Puppetmaster and White Mage party today. It was at one of those odd levels though, so we just decided to level sync down to level 56. Overall, it was a nice party. The PLD, however, kept bitching and complaining about refresh and how the Corsair's Evoker's Roll wasn't good enough. He ended up leaving and saying he needed to go. Of course he did, we saw him on the way to Oric's PUP AF3 BCNM. By the way, we fucked that Automaton up >:D

Do you feel fierce?

I didn't go to Dynamis tonight either. I don't know what it is but I haven't been able to sleep at all this week. I figured it was better to sit out this run and try to get some sleep but that didn't work.

Instead, I was on Skype with Oric the whole time telling him that he was going to get his Etoile Casaque. Oric, on the other hand, said he wasn't going to get it.

At 1:39 AM I get this message on Skype:

[1:39:10 AM] Oric: OMG idhngfidsnwe
[1:39:14 AM] Oric: ETOILE CASAQUE
[1:39:21 AM] Andrall: DID IT DROP
[1:39:48 AM] Oric: ITS MINE
[1:39:54 AM] Andrall: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[1:40:55 AM] Oric: difhidwgnegnidrgnhiefrnifnb
[1:40:59 AM] Oric: IM GONNA VOMIT
[1:41:24 AM] Oric: I BIRTHES A SOLAR SYSTEM
[1:41:26 AM] Andrall: YOU SO FIERCE AND NO MORE SH FOR YOU
[1:43:26 AM] Andrall: Girl! {Carbuncle}ations
[1:47:55 AM] Oric: birth of lamb
[1:47:57 AM] Oric: OMG BLOG
[1:58:10 AM] Oric: It's so pretty ;-;
[1:58:14 AM] Oric: I wanna wear it now!

Yeah, too bad he can't wear it now. He's in Dynamis-Xarcabard for another three hours as his Scholar. Its the one piece of relic that he wanted the most, as soon as he got the CarpeNoctem pearl hand the WotG relic was released. He had that on his priority list and now its his. Now he only needs the Etoile Tiara and he'll be 5/5 on his Dancer relic.

I think thats all. Oh, yeah, I really need to work on my entry for the Stratics quest contest. I want that Shadow Lord statue or the baby chocobo plush ^^

Prince Anidrall til Vana'dielos XVIX

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

(The text in the box says, "Shit, I thought I logged out in Windurst?!" Blogspot keeps downgrading my pictures so I need to find a way to fix it")


Oric <<<> That's the nineteenth isn't it?
Oric >> XIX XD
Oric <<> Well, just put that, its what I meant :P

I don't know what my problem was but I couldn't get any sleep at all last night so I probably won't go to Dynamis tonight. That and my buffer on Black Mage isn't good. Tonight was supposed to be that linkshell's ZNM night and for the past two weeks nobody arrived.
In all honesty, I'm getting a bit fed up of the linkshell even though it just started. I decided to take it easy and refrain from partying today, and instead play some Parasite Eve. My cousin let me borrow it since I've had an urge to replay it for a while. I finished the museum level and I am now fighting Eve's final form. Thats when I logged on for ZNM only to hear bitching and complaining and how they'd rather go up to Sky today. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to get my Karura Hachigane anytime soon. I ended up logging and going back to replaying FFIX which is the inspiration for the picture at the top. Tomorrow, Oric and I are hoping to get White Mage and Puppetmaster to 60 then after we'll probably try and find some help for his PUP AF3. Damn you, Valkeng >:(

Waking the Beast....again

So after last night's Winterstone disaster, Seraphe said that we were going back to Ve'Lugannon Palace to try and spawn Steam Cleaner. I was put on task of sleeping the detectors and it was one of the funniest things I've seen. It reminds me of an old B horror film called Chopping Mall.

There's a scene in particular where a scantily clad teenage hoe is runnin' through the mall being chased by this crazed security robot that looks like the vacuum from the Teletubbies. Her friends are staring at her through a store window, half naked while she is being shot at by this damn robot. After getting shot once in the leg and once in the back she decides to stop, turn around, and let out a scream while the robot is still shooting at her. She then receives a laser to the head causing her head to exlode on impact. Dominated :)


Aside from that, our Waking the Beast run was a fail. We've lost at the same part of the fight, each time. Once Carbuncle is taken down to I believe 50% HP three random avatars will spawn in his place. Each of the parties were designated on one of the avatars. My party took down Titan while the others were on Shiva and Leviathan and thats when we wiped. In my opinion, I think we mainly wiped because of simple mistakes.

/sigh

Be careful! There be spoilers ahead!

Will we ever stop Carbuncle's diabolical plans? I guess you'll have to find out. I think Leoheart planned another run in a week or so. The next version update feels so far away. Oric, Letira, and I are on Crossroads of Time for the actual mission arc and we're on the last Bastok [S] mission which will be finished once Let comes back. Hopefully that will be soon ;-;

Now, one thing that I've always done while we were doing the WotG missions was theorize. I think thats a word, haha. But it always gave small clues about things. The one thing was that I guessed was that Portia and Ragelise were in fact Lilisette's mother. Now depending on how far this update will take us with the missions it may or may not reveal who I think Lady Lillith really is. I think that she is actually Lilisette from not our present but the far future or possibly an alternate Vana'Diel where what happened was based on what things Lilisette may have fucked up once she travelled to the past. But thats just my thoughts ;)

Dear Valkeng,

I don't like you and I guarantee we'll kick your ass next time. Lil' punk ass Automaton, when everybody isn't 'fishing' :P

Aside from that, Oric and I took a break from leveling White Mage and Puppetmaster to go ahead and skill up in Kuftal Tunnel. He needed to skill up his Automaton's magic and I needed to skill up my club skill because I want to be able to use Hexa Strike as soon as possible. I started at a 145 skill level and when I was around 165 Oric had to leave, I went ahead and went on over to Vunkerl Inlet to as least get True Strike, which I did. SMN/NIN was fun especially with the Martial Wand.

After all of that fun, I decided that I needed some gil so I went on an avatar run with Umizawa and Oric. Since Oric was only a level 28SMN we just had him warp up and watch. I guess after PUP he's going to level SMN which will be cool. We'll probably static that with another one of my jobs as well. I'm thinking my Scholar. All of the avatar fights went smooth except for Garuda who continued to be a bitch and spam Whispering Wind. We won and all we have left is to turn in out whispers and get out 60k which will most likely go towards my Noble's and Blessed set which is coming up sooner than I think.

Sky inspired me to write a song

Actually, its the second song inspired by Sky, the first being from when Oric and I went with DynaKnights. It goes to the beat of the song Party, Party, Join Us, Join Us, which is the end theme to the show Shin Chan, one of my personal favorites. Well, here goes nothing, hope you enjoy:

Went to Sky late this evening
Linkshell was goin' farmin'
Aura Pots were rainin' from the sky
Everyone is runnin' from me
This map seems awkward to me
If this keeps on I’m sure we won't kill Zip

But then I close my eyes and try to buff

I know things are bad and getting worse

But after all this I can heal awhile

But I'm not in a party

Party Party, Please invite me

Party Party, Please invite me
Party Party, Please invite me
I can buff and DD
Party Party, Please invite me
Party Party, Please invite me
Party Party, Please invite me
I need invited please


Yo, got the pop item, Mon
Oric is buffin'
and you're just not here
Think its just me and him standin' here
An Aura Pot be castin' Flare
and nobody is here
Why don't you listen to us



Party Party, Please invite me
Party Party, Please invite me
Party Party, Please invite me
I can buff and DD

PARTY PARTY
PARTY PARTY

PARTY PARTY

You can listen to the actual song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKgRbTaKAuo

We actually didn't do that bad for a practice run. The main problem is that some people just do not listen and do not come prepared. One of our Samurai didn't bring any Silent Oils, which is uncalled for especially since we announced it to the linkshell that everybody needed them. Our Ninja, Woven, was dead for nearly a half an hour due to him and Lome getting aggro. On the plus side, we managed to get the Aura Pots to drop two Ro'Maeve Waters. One of which we used to pop Olla, which actually went very smooth.

Besides Sky, I decided to do more campaign and some Campaign Ops. Mainly Hawk Eye III (Bastok), which is incredibly easy and gives 904 Allied Notes in return. Got my Mythril Wings of Service ∮∮ and I am now 10k away from capping out my Summoner's Tier I merits.

Aside from FFXI, I want to replay Parasite Eve just by listening to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kPYCwe6Vu4

Take care :)

Wajaom Woodlands ate our tanks

I kid you not, Oric and I lost at least two tanks and multiple party members to Wajaom Woodlandss today. We were up earlier and set up a party with a rather good set up. Our Thief continued to pull and on chain five our Ninja just randomly says that he's sleepy and he needs to go. Luckily, I found another Ninja replacement who did nothing but bitch that I wasn't hasting him. I believe haste lasts three minutes, and I normally haste Ninja tanks at the beginning of every battle. As soon as he hit 75, he said he was called into work. I guess being called into work means going and leveling your level fifteen Dancer. I can't complain, I got level 58 on the last mob, but still thats bullshit.

Party disbanded so Oric and I took a lunch break and decided to go farm my Tavnazian Bell. I was dreading this, considering it took us three hours to farm two for Yukkari and another member from our old LS, TheEmeraldSpiral but Oric and I got lucky going 1/4 on the bell.

After that we made another party, which included a PLD, RDM, BLU, PUP, SAM, and WHM. Nice set up, right? I thought so too. Oric and I thought the RDM was dual boxing between herself and the RDM and especially since they both started disconnecting after a few pulls. After that we lost our Samurai. Would Oric every get 58?! Of course we would :) We found reps and most would consider it an unorthodox party but it was NIN, WAR, PLD. BLU, WHM, and PUP. We destroyed, it was such a great party.

Then after wearing that damn Seer's Tunic from level twenty-nine to fifty-eight, we finally went and fought the NM for my WHM AF3 quest and in all honesty, I was rather disappointed with the WHM AF Quests. The BLM one was decent, loved the SMN quests, but this one was just boring especially the final cutscene! Special thanks to Hatsuharu, Blackodin, Azalynn, and Oric for helping me :)

ZNMs were cancelled for today due to lack of people showing up :( but instead I went to help Az with Shiki. Haha, that was the most fun I've had camping Shiki. I was standing on the stairs with the Dancer and I noticed something pop behind me! It was fucking Shiki! I could've shouted out every obscenity when I saw him. I quickly threw a Carby at him and engaged and hit! I got the claim! During the battle though, the other group we were camping against decided to try and kill us by pulling a train of weapons through us. Dumbasses didn't succeed and got theirselves killed and didn't get a raise before I warped out.. We ended up killing Shiki but nothing dropped. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day. More NM killing, went to help Oric with Valkurm Emperor but he didn't pop and we had Dynamis in an hour so we decided to call it a night. In the end, I decided to sit out on Dynamis-Xarcabard because my BLM's buffer is low...really low, I'm talkin' three digits. I need to work on that. I hope you get your Etoile Casaque, Oric! Good-luck!

Serenade best watch herself

I'm blogging a bit later today, but its exciting because its Oric and my first Aht Urhgan party. Unlike our last few parties, I started this one and with a pretty good set up, I think so anyway. Our party set out to one of the lesser known Colibri camps at I-6 and just as we were about to start another party came along but thankfully they were respectful to ask if we had just started and they moved camp when I answered back.

The party started and after a minor set back with our Blue Mage using Frightful Roar next to a group of Colibri, we got back on our feet and tried again. In case you're wondering our party consisted of WHM, PUP, NIN, DNC, DRK, BLU. Now, I don't want to brag and I'm just saying this because Oric is my friend but he's a damn good Puppetmaster. His Automaton, Serenade, kicks ass. Here Daze was doing anywhere from 390-500o on these birds. I think her highest did 512? Either way, Serenade kicked ass, despite dying a few times. So most people who have said lolPUP, its probably you've yet to play the job or have partied with a bad PUP before.

Now, onto my White Mage. I feel like I've been doing a really good job controlling my hate while healing in parties., and I feel as though I'm good conserving my MP as well. Especially since I've been spoiled with Elemental Siphon and Sublimation on SMN when I did have to main heal. Today though, I've gotten hit a few times. Now, not sure if its normal but I haven't changed anything in my healing. I normally start, after party buffs of course, with casting Haste on the tank and then followed by a Regen II. By that time the mob is pulled and we're fighting, and even though we're back in Wajaom I still find myself using Cure II a lot on our tank if he gets into yellow HP and Regen II if somebody else in the party starts getting hit. I really only use Cure III when absolutely needed, another way of conserving my MP, in my opinion. A few of the times I did throw out a Cure III I got mashed, I haven't died yet but I got hit pretty bad. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong or if its just typical when you start using Cure III more often. This makes me excited for the rest of my AF, -4 Enmity on the body, {Yes please}. If any of you guys have suggestions for me I'd love to hear them :)

The party ended with Oric and I both getting 56 and decided that we really needed abreak. I went ahead and made my lunch salad and finishd mowing the grass and cleaning up the house. When I came back Oric and I went to work on my Crawlers' Nest Coffer Key for my Healer's Pantaloons, this will make my third pair of spats. It took at least a half an hour to get that key and the coffer was up when we went to farm the key as well ><>

After that, the day repeated itsself. A few of us from the LS went up to Sky to get zeni from the Water Elementals, that conned as VT. The lan was to get them down to around 5% and sleep them but that didn't work out too well. In the end I had enough for two Vulpangue pop items, hopefully I'll only need one. Then after that, yeah, you guessed it, made another party. Oric and I got level 57 :) I think tomorrow morning I'm gon' start my WHM AF3 quest and farm that damn Tavnazian Bell. Wish me luck :P

"Most people have the map to here, kids with cancer probably do"

So, over the past few days I've kept you guys informed that Oric and I were flying through the levels as White Mage and Puppetmaster. I have to say that I hate Garlaige Citadel. Its good experience and I like the location and the story behind the place but I am just so sick and tired of the level 44-50 camp in the basement. We've partied there three days in a row, one of the parties was rather slow but got us a few levels 52-54 in the past three days and we're lookin' pretty fierce in our AF ;)

I wanted to try soloing my WHM AF hat so I went ahead and headed out to Garlaige Citadel...again. I checked behind the other banishing gates and with my luck it was behind the third banishing gate so I went ahead and warped out, retraced and headed back to Garlaige Citadel [S], went through the maw, and finally back into Garlaige Citadel. I got lucky and it was right at the bottom of the steps.

Today though Oric and I finally got 54, we were planning on skipping Kuftal Tunnel altogether and long at last we've finally made it to the Whitegate levels and you know what that means, tons and tons of colibri waiting to b massacred at every pull and giving everybody a shit ton of experience. Its gon' go so fast, I can't wait until my Nobles/Blessed set.

Putting that aside, I really wish these fucking Quadavs would drop a Beadeux coffer key.

P.S. Thanks Ixi, for providing us with this blog title :)

Anidrall has the Nyzul Isle Blues

I told you that only being level 47WHM would change by the end of the day. Oric and I are making amazing progress with White Mage and Puppetmaster. This is really the only, dare I say it, static that has worked between us. After taking a lunch break and giving me time to blog we went to look to make another party. Guess what, zero tanks. We went ahead and put our flags up and specifically asked for 44+ party invited.

We were about to call it quite when I got asked for a party invite, but he said nevermind since my search comment read 44+. I looked what level he was and saw it was 37. I went ahead and asked if he was partying in East Ronfaure [S] and to my surprise he replied "You bet we are"

Its just one of those camps I love, especially because its a camp in one of the WotG zones plus its colibri, so it was bound to be fast. It was faster than we though. Our party insisted of a WHM. PUP. RNG. RNG. SAM. and BRD. I don't care if we gimped our skills a bit, th experience was fucking amazing! I got from level 47-51 in that party and Oric is just a little bit behind as level 50.

After that, I put off Teleport - Altep and went to work on my WHM AF2 quest with Oric. Later it turned out to be a solo when I told Oric to go on a Nyzul run. We're both glad he did. He some something very special that will only want to make him level PUP ro 75 even faster. Lets just say I died when I went to kill the Abbots. I managed to aggro another one. Slept it easily but out of nowwhere came two more fucking mobs and I was destroyed. I felt like such a noob, after Nyzul Oric came to save me and we got the drop 1/3.

Oric logged and I was planning to take a trip through WG to grab a pair of moccasins off of the AH when I saw a shout for Nyzul Isle floor 20. I know Summoner isn't the most reliable, well most people don't think it is but I think it fares wel, job so I went ahead and asked. He answered real quick and I was able to come.

As usual I asked what type of role they wanted me as there and the leader said buffing with hastega and earthen ward and to back up cure. I din't have a problem with it. Our first run, 16-20 went pretty well until I was getting bombarded. As usual I used EW and I kid you not, almost ten second afterward I get a /tell "Give us hastega now" I trid explaining I still had time on my BP: Ward timer but they obviously didn't understand that. Then on our third floor which wass an eliminate all floor, I was getting told to pull as well and bring all the enemies to them. In all honesty and I'm not trying to sound conceited but I know I'm a good Summoner and I was being overwhelmed. It was seriously too much to pull, cure, and use both of my buffs. I think it was just so bad because we were on a half hour time limit. The second run, I don't even want to talk about it ;-;

Funny enough, the leader wanted to do more Nyzul with us. I really don't want to join if I'm going to have to pull as well. I didn't evn go into full detail about what shit went down. I reallly do need somebody there I know. I'm gon' see if I can get Oric and his SCH in. I was just so exhausted after the run and I felt like I just wanted to cry because I felt like it was my fault. Thank to Aara and Umi for trying to cheer me up though :)

Thats all for now....this should be listed as Wednesday as well, but I didn't post the blog until 2AM today. Until then, thanks for reading :)

Of Puks and Men

The current LS I'm in now actually had a really nice number of people show up for ZNMs yesterday. I'm guessing there were around fourteen or so people. The people who had a pop item for Chigre, Anantaboga, and Gigiroon so it ended up only two Vulpangue and an Ob for Aylah.

Now, most people know that I've been wanting the Karura Hachigane for my Summoner, well which Summoner wouldn't want it. Everybody was /NIN as recommended and we made our way our to the site. Aara and I did a /random to see who went first. Aara won.

The battle went pretty smooth until he was around 25% and he wiped everybody except the Summoners we had there. He was down to about 5% when I was killed. Haha, I only had like eleven MP left so I summoned Carby and got beat the fuck down. That was the only time I was hit during the battle. I can't remember but I'm guessing it was either Aara or Sano who finished him off with a Predator Claws and whaddya know, he dropped the K. Hachigane. So, {Carbuncle}ations to Aara. Even though I'm jealous its nice seeing another Summoner I started leveling SMN get a great piece of gear. After that we raised the dead and rested up for me to spawn the next Vulp. This fight went a lot smoother and I used Astral Flow just to be sure. Take note, only for a free Garuda, not Aerial Blast. Sano followed and we destroyed him that time, with less deaths than the first. No drop, not even a wind crystal. /sigh, at least I got the item for Sanraku. Aara's great though, she sent me a /tell afterwards that she had enough Zeni for another pop item and gladly help me out with that.

In regards to Ob, he's really week at least with a PUP in the party. Nothing dropped, just Ob's Arm. Better than nothing though I suppose, plus Aylah already had her Guignol Earring

After that there really wasn't much, Oric and I went to skill up Serenade's ranged and magic and my club skill because lets face it, I want Hexa Strike when my WHM gets that high. Once Serenade's ranged and magic were capped we decided to get ready for Dynamis - Beaucedine and take a nap before. We'd need it, 12AM to 5AM.

We went in about an hour late and I decided to go ahead and put points down on the Black Mage body, thanks to Hohito, whose blog I found as well ;) We did really good with drops that night, We got three or four BLM, three or four PUP, COR, BST, RDM, DNC, THF, two SMN, and I thats thats all. About half way through the run the power of Oric's street went out. This happens a good bit in Pennsylvania, ya' know because its shitty here. I did end up getting my Sorcerer's Coat after Hohito....yeah, I won with three points. Around 3AM I had to log off, my dad was bitching at me =/

Starting today of though, Oric and I made a party. A party that was a lot better than the one we had yesterday, only three deaths. First caused by my shitty as fuck router and the other two to aggro. Putting that aside, it was a rather nice party. I'm now WHM47 and Oric is 47 :)

Thats bound to change tonight though. lol

{Pianissimo} {Do you have it?}

First off, I'm going to take away any statements that I've said before about not leveling White Mage past thirty-seven. Its level fourty-six right now and I really do enjoy it.

Secondly, I need to get something off of my chest. I can't stand being blamed for things that are not my fault. I consider myself good at the jobs I play and I have been told on numerous occasions that I'm good at those jobs.

On to the story, Oric and I have been leveling PUP and WHM together and have set a goal to get them sixty plus by the end of the summer. I do a good job setting up parties and today was a similar situation. I, well Oric, finished my Tele-Vahzl scroll quest and he started looking for a tank. I get a message on Skype "THERE'S A PLD LOOKING! GO, GO, GO! MAKE A PARTY!" So I did and it was a damn good party set up as well.

Our final party set up was WHM, PUP, SAM, BLU, PLD, and a BRD. We settled on going to Crawler's Nest since Quicksand Caves already have a party there and I have yet to finish that Tele-Altep quest. I'll get to that later though.

After me having to run up and down the stairs to find a stable connection we got going. We were going to the Rumble Crawler camp and after hitting the slope I sneak and invisibled Oric, the PLD and BLU used their respective ninja tool and made their way to camp.

Now, blame it on me or not but I forgot what level invisible was and the BRD already started casting sneak on the SAM so I figured he'd sneak and invisible himself. I started making way to camp following close behind Oric in case his buffs started to wear. The BRD and SAM aggroed and died. Now, I didn't have a problem. I know mistakes happened because I disconnected prior to the party starting a few times. I went back and raised them. I rested my MP and then watched the Taru proceed to run out in front of an Exoray. He died again. I raised him again. After getting MP to S/I all of us, I started to sneak and invisible the SAM. The BRD snuck himself and we started moving towards camp. Thats when I got this in the party chat:

(Tetsuetsu) What, no invisible for me?

He got himself killed by running to the camp with only sneak up and not even asking for invisible. Now don't get me wrong, I would've gladly casted invisible on him but he didn't even bother to ask.

Putting that aside we made it to camp and proceeded with slow pulls, the puller was our BRD. His first 'pull' was by running into the middle of the room with the beetles and getting aggro. After that we said no more BRD pulling. Our BLU, Drkmessiah, who was a rather good BLU said he would pull for us and things started getting better until the BRD started to pull again. His first pull went well, he got hit, no problem, I gave him a Cure II and Regen II. At about 50% of the current's mob HP, he went to pull again and failed to sleep that crawler and he died. Our BLU started pulling again and the Bard was unweakened. On our soon to be final pull, another Rumble Crawler popped right me in the middle of the fight and proceede to beat the living fuck out of me thats when all hell broke loose.

After reraising, the Taru BRD, Tetsuketsu, complained to bitch about our experience per hour when he was clearly one of the causes for that. The PLD received ballad maybe once or twice and I don't think the BLU got it at all.

I'm not the one to respond to people like that but I was so pissed that I did, and I got what I wanted out and pretty much, the final words were {Pianissimo} {Do you have it?}. Sad to say the party with potential disbanded after that, and I had one more name on my blacklist.

Hopefully ZNMs will make up for this disaster :(

Waking the Beast

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been incredibly busy. Now that school is finally out for the summer, I can blog on time.

Last Friday, it was Dynamis - Windurst time and I still needed my Summoner's Spats. I don't really think they're the best piece out of the relic set, but since the Evoker's Spats don't stack with the accuracy from the Summoner's Gloves, I'd figure I'd go ahead and put points n them so at least I'd match :)


It was really one of our better runs yet, I think. Aylah got her Pantin Dastanas and Oric got his Argute Loafers which made them both 5/5 on their relic sets. On our last few pulls the Summoner Spats dropped and they were mine, making me 4/5, I still need my Summoner's Horn.

On Saturday, I woke up pretty late and got one of the best tells from Oric:


Oric>> zomg! Somebody is shouting for Waking the Beasts, go, go, go, go!


I ended up joining their alliance and over the next two days, I got all the eyes for the final battle against Carbuncle, whom we'll be fighting this Saturday. So far I really like the storyline associated to this quest as Carbuncle being a false God, and I'm excited to see how it plays out :)


Now, this week so far has been amazing. My last day of school was on Tuesday and my ZNM LS decided to fight a few NMs. We had two successful Obs, {Carbuncle}ations Aylah on your Gunguil Earring and we also had a successful Chigre fight, that almost went bad. Real life things happened so we didn't get to fight Vulpangue. I will have my Karura Hachigane one day >:)


Later that night, I did the Up In Arms BCNM with Sano and Fki since Fki guaranteed 300k even if we didn't get the drop. After that was Dynamis - Xarcabard. I only had four points for Tuesday's Dynamis and somehow I got this beauty:

I'm so happy, that makes me 5/5 on my Summoner Relic!

And on to other news, FFXIV is revealed and I think it looks awesome so far. Very reminscient of the FFXI original trailer. So, I think I'll try it out when it gets released, just everybody being a beginner in a large, vast new area excited me, plus everybdoy from my static says they want to try it too. Starting out with friends is always good :D Can't wait for SE's Booth at E3 today.
