I really am going to attempt to start updating Astral Flow more despite having a computer that is completely unreliabe. In spit of now posting regularly doesn' necessarily mean I've been dead. I've actually been accomplishing a lot in game ever since my last post. Some of the more major things I've accomplished recently have been finishing my Summoner Merits. My White Mage merits are coming along quite nicely, my Group 1 is capped and I am 5/10 on my Group 2. Dragoon on the other hand...still a while to go.
Gear wise, I finally got a pair of Nashira Gages for my Summoner, one of the items I've been wanting ever since I started attending Limbus. Shortly after that I got a Nashira Turban, well, mainly since nobody else lotted.
And, to sum up other in game happenings, since I'm one of the few Summoners on Shiva who doesn' have Alexander and Odin, Oric have progressed a lot in the ToAU storyline which I'm really liking. Currently we're on ToAU 42 and then its onto the famous ToAU Missions No. 44 Nashmeira's Plea battle. We're hoping to finish by the end of this week.
Recently, which is pretty much yesterday, our LS has our BIG FUCKING EVENT day which consisted of a Kirin that started two hours later than we originally planned. I'll be the first to admit that it was a really sloppy job, especially dealing with his lesser God pets. Surprisingly, we ended up recovering from our sloppy start and finished slow, but strong. Got some really good drops, mainly including Kirin's Osode which went to Oric, now he doesn' feel so n00b without his Shair Manteel and a pair of W. Legs didn' go to Bennei. Dynamis - Beaucedine tonight, so we'll see how that turns out. Was really hoping for a Dynamis - Xarcabard since near everybody needs relic from there, but, hey, what can you do?
P.S. Oric just got a pair of Goliard Clogs from Nyzul. Yeah, pretty Bard in a matter of sixteen hours.
"Oric is a sexy Bard, doo dah HEY! doo dah HEY!" - Oric >.>

All Burned Out
Its been a while since I've posted an actual update, but I have a lot to write about.
Last Friday was CarpeNoctem's final Dynamis run. They had planned it to be as they had began, Dynamis - Bastok. Which, in a way, was ironic considering that is where Anidrall started his adventures. We entered a bit late, considering it'd be our last gather together and going over the rules. Plus, who doesn't like Goblin Ani and Goblin Oric terrorizing the citizens of Bastok.
It was definately a bit of an emotional night especially since CarpeNoctem has been running for nearly five years now. It was a quick run, as most of our usual Bastok runs. Nalya and Kennth were both of our tanks for the night and as usual the run went amazing. In the time I was with CN, I had never seen a failed run. The drops that night were plentiful, even though Oric and I didn't get any relic. We broke the record that night on relic drops which, if this wouldn't have been our last run, would have earned us an extre point :) We ended the run with a final {Elemental Seal} {Thundaga} III and linkshell pictures afterwards.
After that, the members who were online and of course wanted went to do some Ballista. It was my first time and let me tell you what, it was so fun. I went as Summoner and I loved using one of my blood pacts on somebody, especially when they decided to engage with me. I think everybody did four or five rounds and it wasn't over until five in the morning my time. CN said they'd like to do more Ballista so maybe the shell won't be completely dead.
Next on my list to tell you about is that I've finally maxed my Tier I merits on Summoners. I put two into Avatar attack and accuracy, two into Avatar magic accuracy and four into Avatar magic attack. I'm happy with my choices and even better I get to start on my Tier II merits now. After getting more than 30k exp in campaign and my new Wings of Integrity medal, I unlocked Heavenly Strike for Shiva <3
Now, the title of this blog post is a quote from Sano, another Summoner in my linkshell. It is in regards to the Astral Flow Burn party method. I have capped Summoning Magic and I refused to put any job in one of those parties because I don't want to be a gimp Summoner. On Monday he asked me if I wanted to merit using that method. I figured it wouldn't hurt and it'd be the fastest way for me to put max merits into Heavenly Strike. I was with a few other people I didn't know and after we finished the first pull Sano took the level sync off. I was horrified after watching the level 67 Summoner, Gohann, Elemental Siphon 54 MP back. Thats all. I was sick. After that he said he still needed Leviathan, Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan and if anybody was willing to help him....
I left and went up to Sky with the LS. We did awesome that night! We popped, claimed, and killed Despot without any deaths. Thanks to Lailu for the Taru sacrifice :)
Finally, we're on to today. I went out to breakfast with my family today which was a nice break considering I only have cereal for breakfast in the morning. When I got back, I went and got my map of Grauberg and went out to explore the area a lot more than I recently have. I thought about it today and if/when the servers close or when I do end up quitting the game, I want to log off in Grauberg. To me, its the most beautiful area in the game.
By the way, WHM is 63 ;)

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 :)

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 :)
