Makin' Progress

Its been quite a while since I've last blogged. Its a pity though, since I've been doing a lot and have accomplished a lot in game.

I may as well start off with my and Oric's Puppetmaster and White Mage static. Although we partied most of our other jobs together, Oric and I managed to hit 75 in the same party. In all honesty, I'm quite shocked that I still leveled WHM past 37 since when I first started leveling Black Mage I subbed Summoner taking on the I don't want to main heal aspect and vice versa with Summoner. One weekend though, I managed to fly through WHM. Getting it to thirty so I wouldn't be gimp anymore. and then eventually 37. Then early last year my friends persuaded me into trying out WHM past 37 and I'm glad that I did because I really enjoy the job and I think I'm a good WHM. I know Lavera likes it when I'm the main WHM in Dynamis. Oric and I have been doing a lot on WHM and PUP as well, mainly some FoV and we've been working on our Mythic WS. We're only on Floor 5 but we're making progress since we can each close a light skillchain. Now only if Dynamis - Beaucedine would be nice to us and spare a Pantin Tobe and a Cleric's Briault. Anyways, on to missions!

If any of you guys have been following my blog you'll know that I'm in a Chains of Promathia static with five other of my friends. We were put on a hiatus after Letira's was out of a job. Well, he made it back to the game around the middle of September and we resumed with Three Paths. Sadly though, our kick ass MNK Seraphe lost interest with the game and we had to end up replacing him. Surprisingly, we managed to get another member who was just as good as Seraphe. A blonde Hume with a beard named Karlik,w ho soloed each of his jobs to 75. Each and every one of the fights for Three Paths went as smooth as I could have ever imagined. The only trouble we had was during the Moblin fight. I ended up putting up every other important buff aside from barfira but luckily I used Benediction and Let managed to get hate back from me.

Then, we all know what comes after Three Paths, hands down one of the most talked about missions in the game. Chains of Promathia mission 6-4, One to Be Feared, or simply known as the airship fight. I think I can speak for everybody in the static that we were all terrified of what was soon to come we came into that batle as prepared as we could ever fucking be. Our first fight went smooth, a little rough on time but we had no problems with the Mammets but Omega turned out to be the biggest problem of the entire fight. Near the end he starts to get nasty as hell. On our first try we managed to get Ultima down to 2% and then we wiped/ran out of time. We went three more times, switching up our party set up each time. On our fourth try, we were ready for business. We had Ixidor as Paladin, Letira and Karlik as Warrior, Aylah as Corsaid, Oric as Bard, and me as White Mage. We defeated the Mammets with barely any difficulty at all, Omega was still being a prick to us when he was at 1% when he went crazy and we ended up wiping. No worries, got back up and with a quick WS and a Holy he was down. Finally, it was the final mob, Ultima. This was the most smooth the battle ever went for us and we ended up winning. A fight that I thought I may never get to experience, we won. The cheers heard over Skype and the messages that filled up our party chat were hilarious. We fuckin' earned it! With that we only needed two more major missions and we'd have access to Sea and be able to do Limbus with our LS.

Then, once again, we were hit with bad news. Letira wasn't going to be able to play for a good bit of time and with that we came to an agreement that we could go ahead and move on with out him. Its sad to say, but being this close to the conclusion of CoP we needed to continue especially since we waited months for him to come back when he first lost his job. Everything is okay though, he was with us ever since our first Promy - Mea and when and if he comes back we'll be there to help him. Since yesterday we were stuck with 5/6 people for the NMs and TenzenI went ahead and asked the LS if anybody was available to help and sure enough, Astrael, our LS leader and probably one of the best geared Dark Knights on Shiva helped us and soon enough, by 2PM EST Karlik, Ixidor, Aylah, Oric, and I had access to Al'Taieu or as most FFXI Players refer to it as, Sea.

We accomplished so much ever since we started playing Final Fantasy XI and its nice to have done so. After leaving Sea, Oric and I joined some of our LS members for a Colibri party where Oric got 66BRD and I got three merit points. Speaking of, I finally maxed out my Summoning Magic merits at 8/8. With my Summoning Magic set I get 297 MP back from Elemental Siphon during single weather / Vana'Diel day. Hopefully I'll be upgrading my gear with the ability to partake in Salvage now and will get getting 300+ MP back.

In closing, I'd like to say {Carbuncle}ations to Oric for us somehow managing to get him a Hyorin Obi not even twenty-four hours after getting access to Sea. I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time there. Later ;)
