Back on track.
So after all the fuss lately with people leaving the linkshell and game, this post will be all happy and stuff! And what better way to make a happy post than to show our latest gots and various fun? Thats right! There is NO other way! ^^
Job leveling:
The last few weeks have seen me focusing on getting MNK and BLU to 37. MNK just coz it was the only Maats cap job under 37 left for me and BLU for a DRG sub. You’ll be pleased to hear MNK is done finally and not a moment too soon. I have to say MNK is NOT fun solo. Thanks Bubbo for PLing that last level so I could get rid of that gear and get onto something a little more fun…BLU! BLU is hella fun! Gone from 22 to 31 so far in just 4 short solo sessions. With xp ring, Fields of Valor and bashing the snot out of various T worms, experience points come thick and fast. Check THIS out!
So I expect BLU will be 37 by weeks end then I’ll be back to either BRD or PLD and working slowly on my Maat’s cap.
Dynamis:
Orz. Dynamis.
I have to admit that since I tried this again, this time as a melee instead of BLM, Dyna has been pretty good fun with Soymilk. I’ve been with them before as it is led by my good long time friend Rathiel but going as BLM in past runs, I had to give it away due to extreme boredom.Recently though with getting DRG to 75, the need for a Wyrm Armet has been great as well as the desire to get those extra pieces for SAM, RDM, lolBST, BLM and WAR to push my performance limits so Dynamis has been re-added to my list of weekly events.
First off, thanks Rath for making the transition into Dynamis again so accommodating and thanks Soymilk for putting up with my infrequent Dyna visits.
So I have finally worked through my 5 runs as a trial member and have now been granted the ability to lot items that aren’t already committed to someone with more points (which is everyone >.>). My first run being allowed to lot was Dynamis: Qufim. A fun run which eventually netted me Sorcerer’s Tonban, Saotome Kote (one of the main pieces I wanted from Dyna), and a Wyrm belt for DRG jumps! Woohoo! Yesterday in Beaucedine, I ALMOST got Duelists Tabard but a far more deserving person outlotted me so I’m not too upset though Lee DID promise to make another drop which it didn’t. Whats that all about? -.-
In addition to the drops, I now have access to Xarcabard and with a Buburimu win, I’ll have access to Tavnazia. Our recent excursion to visit the Shadow Lord (my first ever sighting of the big guy) resulted in some most excellent fun…
Not exactly the desired result but damn if it wasn’t fun. 3 BRD and 2 CORs buffed us all to hell and in we went. We got him to 15% I believe before we wiped and it would have been an easy win if the pull had been as expected. Oh well, it was a good effort and just a couple of minor adjustments will result in win.
Oh and Rath, DO NOT WANT SONGS!
LS events:
A long while back I had got in my mind that I really, really, really, really, REALLY, REEEEAAAALLLLY, wanted a Gnadbhod’s helm. REALLY! So Al and I (when we were hanging out :/) went and farmed 2 popsets for the Orc SCNM both for the SCNM entry and the drops from the NMs in the area that at the time (and some still are) were worth some nice gil. We went with the understanding that since Al had Heca gear that as a WAR was better suited for him, the 2 sets would be for me to get helm and earring with the proviso that he’d get the Fenian ring if it dropped.
After having the popsets for some 6 months+, Evolpmal finally had the manpower to give it a go and did we ever! The fight was fun and after a few hiccups, we got through both popsets and got the following…
WOOHOOO! Thank you so much to my linkshell who came along as a very early event and pulled off some really excellent wins to get these drops.
So Gnadbhod’s is now my WS hat of choice for SAM and DRG and Supremacy earring goes perfectly with my Skystrider on DRG.
In other LS news, Sky farming has gone well of late. We are still yet to see a decent abjuration after fighting Genbu twice and once each for the other 3 lesser sky gods. A little frustrating but something that will remedy itself I’m sure as we keep chipping away at it.
Limbus as been the usual also though with our other NIN/DRK tanks disappearing on us, Omega has been a no go lately. It has given us a chance to work on Temenos AF items though and a few people have been completing those. Stupid DRG item continues to elude me though -.-
Miscellaneous:
And to finish off today, here’s a couple of random shots from around the way.
DIE WHM! lol
Always feel safe in the arms of my true love ^__^;
