/slacking off…off

February 18th, 2010

Oi, I have been slack with my blog. Seems that since we moved back to the city and life has become more hectic, blog time has been forfeited. For shame I know ; ; Perhaps this update will placate the masses?

Ok so what has been going? Well its been an interested start to the year. The LS went from as high as being able to kill Kirin to nearly breaking. A bunch of people have either stopped playing almost entirely or just simply quit. Some have moved on to shells that they feel better suits them. Some people were just removed for my sanity’s sake. Either way the shell has been pruned down to just my closest friends and the people that I want to be around. People that are interested in doing what I’m interested in doing and doing a good job at it. People who are on time (for the most part) and give their best effort each time (for the most part).

So we have cut sky out of the weekly schedule and started to mess about with ZNMs instead. Very fun system that provides something different, something that people can be sure to get what they want if they put the time into farming zeni and something that we can work towards getting some really top end gear. HACHIRYU HAIDATE WHERE??!!

The first couple of weeks have seen us take on Chamrosh for the Dragoon’s earring he drops which he finally did this past week. Very stoked.

DragoonsEarring

In the process of figuring out how best to kill him with the people we had, I got this shot also…

KillMal

Oh boy do I love killing PLDs. Of all the jobs I like killing, PLDs bring me the most joy. We had the kill in hand and I autotargeted Mal for some reason and couldn’t help myself. HONESTLY MAL! I COULDN’T HELP IT! :)

After we got Dragoon’s earring, we hit up Chigre in the hopes we could get a couple of Blood rings for Dyl and Mal.Unfortunately he was stingy the 2nd time around but the first time…

ChigreFullDorps

FULL DORPS! Grats Dyl and don’t worry Mal. With the ease with which we killed him, we’ll surely get these drops again for you.

The other one we tried was the Mamool Ja BLM/WHM. We woulda won pretty easily but for his rage time. We just needed another BLM or RNG or 2 and he’d have gone down easily within the time before he rages. As it was, we got him done to about 30% after Benediction and he wouldn’t go any further. He’ll keep though. We’ll come back with more people and show him whats up.

Limbus has been trucking along as usual though with the downturn in numbers, Omega pops have been shelved until we replenish which might not be too far away after the chat I had with another LS leader the other night. Stay tuned.
Our last Omega saw our first 5/5 Homam as well as my most coveted piece. Grats Warslane on 5/5 and woot on my healing breath build completion bar one peice as well as the best haste feet for DRG around.

HomamFeet

Homam5War

We’re gonna focus on completing upgrades for the time being as well as converting chips for a couple of Ultima pops.

Dynamis has been ok lately also. As you saw last post, Rathiel finally completed his horn though I yet to see a merit party from it…whats that all about Rath?! A couple of drops have come my well.

DuelistGloves

MonsterGaiters

The RDM hands were really the only exciting piece due to the fact that my BST rarely sees the light of day lately. Thinking of retiring it completely if for no other reason than gaining more space. Will have to find somewhere to offload all my rare/ex BST stuff if thats the case. :/

Finally on my personal GET-list, Mog Bonanza gifted my 10 inventory slots and…

. . . . . .

Oh well maybe next year….OR NEXT MONTH! AMANO GAO!

My good buddy Rianon who you all know as our most gracious blog host has made out like a bandit since the new year too. First was this…

RiaBloodLegs

…and then finally Dyl’s TH worked properly and we cleared this want…

GoliardFeet

Slowly but surely that Rianon is becoming less and less gimp! Maybe oneday he’ll have the right gear to make good use of that Duelist hat eh Ria? :p Grats buddy!

And on the lighter side of things, my Maat’s cap quest is slowly coming along. 8/8 with my recent easy win on BRD. NIN even got me some skill ups! I think the para proc was Maat saying “?!”

KatanaSkillonMaat

RNG is my current work in progress which I am enjoying. Such an over powered job even at 37. Can’t wait to hit 54 and start dying from multiple Sidewinder induced deaths.

Finally, a couple of things I hadn’t seen before. #1 pimp ass BLU.

PimpBLU2

and #2…Horsie.

2010 goals

January 4th, 2010

So ahhh, oops. Been a while since my last post. Merry Christmas and Happy new year all! Hope you got everything you wanted from Santa and that the new year has begun well for you.

I wanted to start my 2010 blogging with a list of goals and items I’d like to achieve this year. Something I can look back on at the end of the year and evaluate how well it went. So here we go…

Gear:

Dynamis:

  • Wyrm armet
  • Duelist’s chapeau
  • Duelist’s tabard
  • Sorcerer’s coat
  • Sorcerer’s petasos

Limbus:

  • Homam gamberias
  • Homam manopolas
  • Nashira seraweels
  • Nashira manteel
  • Nashira crackows

Sky:

  • Blood cuisses
  • Shura haidate
  • Hecatomb harness

Einherjar

  • Omega ring

Nyzul Isle:

  • Goliard trews

Salvage:

  • Morrigan’s Robe
  • Morrigan’s slops
  • Morrigan’s pigaches
  • Ares flachard
  • Usukane haidate

I’m sure there are some other random pieces I want around but for now, I think this is enough to start with lol.

Quests:

Maat’s cap.

As of today the jobs I have beaten him with are BLM, SAM, DRG, RDM and NIN. Still have to get WAR and BST done whenever I get a testimony but I’m in no rush for that. They will come along as I go along.

NIN was kinda hard at 66. Took 3 tries and got lucky on the last try that he didn’t Mijin while I was at 423HP >.> Now that that is over, BRD is the next to 66. Should be a rather quick effort. After BRDm I’m thining PLD then THF or SMN. SMN I might leave till last and go to 75 with it. I really like the job once you hit 65 and get powerful BPs as well as mass buffs in Campaign ftw.

Other quests to be determined. Maat’s cap will definitely be the main focus of 2010.

Linkshell:

Biggest thing I want for the LS is to grow into an LS where people WANT to be fulltime. Not have to badger people into keeping pearl on and being at events. An LS of people who want help each other, like being around each other and have fun together.

Specific goals would include making Kirin an easy fight, the Sea jailers and getting everyone kitted out in Homam and Nashira gears.

So there we go. I’m pretty sure this list will keep me plenty busy this year >.>
