Welcome to the Promathia Circus. Hope you enjoy the show.

I really really want to get my PM missions done so I can go commit suicide in sea over and over again. So I set up a Promyvion mission for the guys that were stuck on Ouyru (PM4-2). I love this fight, I think its the best one so far (mainly because its lolOuyru when you're a Blm. But the BC is fun so bleh :P)

We took Marthastewart and Toolidia that needed the mission, and my mate Josafath came to help out, and Dataloss and Crinan from Empyreal came for extra Blm goodness.

The team:

Alsha (BLM)
Crinan (BLM)
Dataloss (BLM)

Toolidia (PLD)
Marthastewart (RDM)

Josafath (PLD)

You see, Ouyru is just a little kitten at heart. He's so cute...

/em pets Ouryu.

/em loses an arm.

/em casts Freeze on Ouyru.

/em cuts a piece of Ouyru steak from his warm corpse and lights up the barbeque.

Congratulations guys! Thank you to Josa, Data and Crinan for helping out, I had lots of fun XD

And CG to Martha and Tools, next stop: Sacrarium!

Before this mission, I organised a run to farm the keys for the 4-3 Sacrarium mission. Thanks to Crinan, Godyss, Dataloss and Josafath for coming to help. We got our 2 coral keys really quickly even without any TH, and we got a Gaudy harness subligar for Josa. I think there may have been one more that dropped but I dont remember what it was.

So after Ouyru we changed jobs a touch and then headed to Sacrarium to do the next one. I hate this mission with the fire of a thousand suns. It makes me cry in the corner with the lights off.

Okay its not that bad but I really dont like this one, so you guys owe me! Just kidding.

LS saw we were heading up there so decided to do Swift Belt run at the same time too. We went in and fought the NM for the mission (After wiping the first time because of mixed communications from within the mission party and the rest of the LS in the alliance.) They headed up and helped us clear the room and we popped the NM and won the mission for Crinan Martha and Tools. Thanks to Josa for sticking around and letting us borrow his Sealion key.

After mission we went and popped about 8-9 swift belt NMs, for Empyreal LS members and also 2 other people that joined our run that day.

3 belts dropped............ and only 1 LS member got it. Congrats Daven XD

I got totally pwnt on my codex.
Time to save up and buy a new one /sigh.

Farming? wut? :P

Later on, I found KB floating around and took a pic for fun :) We couldnt really claim it was just me (Whm), Yoria (Blm) and Hotch (Drg).... We would have got raped inside out :\

Good times.

I did my first dynamis run with the new LS, it was actually a really good run. (lolWindurst) We made a couple of mistakes and we needed another BLM or two (imo, cuz blm rocks dynamis) but generally a wicked run. lots of af2's and a 100 coin, along with about 250 singles.

PLD Nomar
PLD Zecilus
PLD Nekole
BLM Alshandra
BLM Godyss

Congratulations guys!
And THANK YOU Empyreal!!!! 5/5 BLM AF2 /joy

Tonight I worked late, so grabbed approx TOD for Adamantoise, (missed exact cuz i was trying to raise Crinan and got aggrod and died..lol) and now hanging around KB waiting for pop, its down to last 2 windows now. I also reckon Cerberus window is due, certain HNMLS is up there at the moment. And has been for over an hour or more. Hmmm... I might go check that out after KB, I dont really feel like doing much tonight so may as well get the time. I can see Arawn is in the zone, but not sure if he can get the time if hes asleep.. I know that I cant but thats because i dont use hacks on my game that show that sort of thing. Anyways, thats all for now, see you next time.

*gives you a cookie*

Thanks for reading :P

Sleepy sleepy...

I've been really busy with the new LS lately, having a lot of fun which is nice ^^
We've been keeping an eye on Fafnir lately, but it's harder for us to camp it as the window is getting earlier and earlier (good for me, not so good for EST) and it's a bit too early in the morning for the LS to get up and camp.

I have a huge problem with this HNM though, every time I have seen it this far, someone has claimed it ten seconds before it even loads on my screen. I have too much lag from the 80something people in the zone, with the darters lagging up my screen as well. It's really not fair lol :P It's like it is almost impossible to claim without botting, which we dont do >.>



We ran down to Khimaira last night too, but someone had been holding it and they didn't wipe before reinforcements arrived, which was a shame. Next time!

Our main event yesterday was Sky though, I had a really good time actually, which is suprising because I hate sky normally. This event was overnight for me, I stayed up and hardly slept at all... Only because of no work today though. Normally I wouldnt do that >.> right??

We did Seiryu, Suzaku, Byakko (that one I had dozed off for >.<), and then Kirin. All went well, we got some nice drops too

Hmm trying to remember who got what, but I really don't remember >.<

(edit: LS site updated so i stole the info from there :P)

Daven: Seiryu Kote

Sevv: w. hands

Sevv: D. hands

Marthastewart: A. head

Hotchasm: D. legs

Toolidia: Kirin's Pole
Glacion: Kirin's Osode

The Kirin fight was a lot of fun, the BLMS were making a game out of it... Wish i had gone Blm lol. Fun stuff. After sky I got comandeered into the LS BLM manaburn party. Mattis, Shiroken, Cienna and myself went 75BLM, Glacion went 66BLM and Heartsdzire went 74RDM. Congrats on 75 hun! Good job. I also capped XP on blm (wow that never happens) so its all merits from here on out. Until the next event when I have to recap again >.>

I had'nt slept all night so I started falling asleep toward the end of the party... So Mattis made me go to sleep all day, I woke up at 1.30am >,< *shakes fist*

So here I am at 3am... Unable to sleep.... Writing crap in my blog.

Ciao until next time

x Alsha

Our First Fafnir! (and Khimaira #7896967896890)

And guess where I was ???

That's right. I was sleeping.

/sigh.

I blame Sevv and Crinan for not waking me up. Cmon guys! Pull yer weight :P

So since I wasn't there, and I was curled up in my warm bed, I have haxxed some of Sevv's pictures for your Faf-erotic viewing pleasure:

Grats Hotch!! You got yourself a shiny new.... What is that again? N.head? Hecatomb Hat I think. Congrats!

And we got Khimaira. And by we, I mean everyone else in Empyreal.

And no d0rp like usual.

Tonight the windows open up at around the same crappy times for me, so hopefully I can either A. stay awake or B. wake up in time and stay awake. And of course C. Wake up in time for work.

I should have had a nap but I'm really just not tired at 7pm when I get home. Maybe I'll stay up all night and go to dynamis before work too, then I can sleep when I get home tomorrow..... Maybe that isn't such a good idea :3

I'll let you know how that works out for me...

My First Night (and Morning) on Cerberus

So I finally landed.

And Empyreal was getting ready to camp Fafnir. What an interesting time to arrive lol. I've actually never been to Dragon's Aery before, it's smaller than I would have imagined. Good thing I'm not claustrophobic, there were a lot of people down here >.> Well, 70 or so people in such a small space seems a lot to me. I'm sorry. I'm a newb.

Got a really lovely warm welcome from Empyreal, to start with only Simfireball and Hotchasm were on but everyone else started to wake up and come upto DA. Everyone's so nice and made Crinan and I feel really welcome, it was really appreciated.


So I saw my first Fafnir, sadly we didn't get claim. Someone in our party hit their pulling macro about 3-4 seconds before he materialised on my screen. Faf was already purple. Botting {Do you need it?} Was pretty cool to see, the fight went down with not much problem, and then we warped out and the LS started getting ready for Limbus. I took this opportunity to grab some sleep as it was 5.30am and I can't get into Limbus anyways.



When I woke up they were half way through the first Kirin for the day, I arrived and helped finish him off on my lolBLM. Fight went pretty smoothly, and Hecatomb Harness abjuration dropped. Arawn got this one, congratulations!

Above is a pic of me MPK'ing Mattis (sorry!!) I had gotten too much hate on Kirin and didn't realise he came to sit with me while I was healing. Oooops... Sorry everyone, and Mattis, I'll make it up to you. Manaburn style XD (hey, my blm needs xps too ._.)

Our second Kirin was a bit shaky with a half-wipe thrown in for something different. We scored a Shura Togi abjuration for Rafiki congrats! And a shiny cloth for the LS. woot.

After that, I tagged along on my first Nyzul Isle Investigation assault, it was a lot of fun and we cleared the 5 floors up to lvl 80, but no drop from Hydra. That was my last tag for the day so I passed the next run, goodluck to you guys.

I have to go out in a few hours so I might wander around and see what crafting prices are like here and get ready in a bit, I'm going to my girlfriends house for easter dinner mmm... Hope it something good lol. I think I'm staying the night there, so I should be back tomorrow, which is about hmm 9-10pm EST. I think theres an event time slot but Dynamis is off due to easter so I'm not sure what's going on yet. I think they are camping something tonight but I won't be here sadly, and I'll be heading to work soon after Salvage starts on Monday. So looks like that's all the excitement for me for the next couple of days. Mabye I'll get a chance to merit my BLM or level up my BRD. :)

Thanks guys, see you later xx

Fond Farewells

And what a teary goodbye it was.
I will miss each and every single one of you and I know that Kaske will take good care of everyone in my absence. He's going to make a really kickass leader, and will more than likely be better than I ever was at the job.

Thank you to everyone that added me to f/list, I will be keeping in touch often, as well as those of you who have me on MSN and Skype, I will still be around. Going to miss you guys a bunch, and thank you for making the last year and a half worth it. Thank you to all of you that showed up to our party, I tried to give as much notice as I can but I know that a lot of you couldn't make it due to the time differences, and I thank you for your kind words and farewells.

I got some nice screenies of the occasion :)

This one made me tear up in real life. Sounds sad, but it was my FFXI home for the last year and half. I still remember the day I made it after I quit my old LS. I spent a whole week in it alone with my thoughts before I ran into a few old friends, including Shaunmc and Crinan. The rest was history.

The tarutaru army!! Rawrr!!

We fail at lining up for pictures. XD

After our 2 hour party (lol) we finally emerge outside...... for more pictures.

A dance off, with the new TheRisingSun.

Hehe..

Final goodbyes.



Ifrit, it's been wild. Thanks for the friends, the family, and the memories.

Never forgotten.

New and exciting Cerberus-shaped-and-scented blog!

Hi everyone that might be reading this,


As many of you know, I have decided to take a big step and transfer over to the Cerberus server from Ifrit. It was a hard decision to make, but one that I felt I wanted and needed to do for reasons of my own. I will miss all my friends and family back on Ifrit, and I hoped that everyone can keep in touch via my friends list and via my new blog. I'm hoping to write a few bits and pieces here about what I have been up to on the game, and I imagine I should have some time here and there while camping HNM's and things with my new Linkshell.


A big thank you to everyone at Empyreal LS for putting up with my never-ending application post. (But there were 3 applications in that one, so maybe I'm forgiven XD) I'm very excited about transferring over this weekend with my friends Crinan and Sev. We are looking forward to our new adventures with a new group of people, including one old smelly Elvaan named Brood. Oh wait, he changed his name right? Lammit? Lambert? Orite... Lament. That's the one. ^^b We loves ya hun. Oh and that's totally the only reason I'm moving to Cerberus. I'm secretly in love with you, it's something I have been hiding for oh-so-long now and you know, I just couldn't keep it a secret any more. -.-; Hehehe that whole rumor just makes me giggle every time. Now enough joking and on with more semi-interesting stuff.


Moving servers! How exciting. I have spend the evening sorting out my mules and delivery boxes and auction house sales. Needless to say, nothing was happening and it was all very boring so I thought I would use the time to get started. I'm pretty sure that there is no Alshandra on Cerberus at this stage, unless there is a mule hidden away somewhere that has never used the Jeuno auction house. I think its a fairly unique name, so I'm hoping that I'm lucky. As for my mules Raena, Ysolla, Calonderiel, Lovyan and Evandar, who knows. I won't be that crushed if I have to change their names at all, I'll just pick up a book and pick a new name at random. If anyone know's Katherine Kerr's novels, you deserve a cookie. So tonight I finally sorted out all my mules and my gear, and threw a few last minute things up on the Auction House hoping for a quick sale before the weekend. Fingers crossed I can get rid of all my Karakul cloth, as it is next to worthless over on Cerberus :\ Say goodbye to profitable skillups at 55 Clothcraft. Only 2 more levels to go! Then onto Hunter's Cotton, for which I am levelling up my bonecraft sub. Lv12 currently... about 5 or so more to go for Carapace powder. Anyway. Less tangents, more interesting.


For those of you that may be new to my blog, my old one can be found at http://talesoftherisingsun.blogspot.com/ which was a random jumble of semi-interesting stories about my adventures with my friends and linkshell on Ifrit, TheRisingSun. I'm going to post a cross link on that one so my old readers can find me here at my new address. And as for me, a quick run down of who I am, for those of you who have met me or will be meeting me soon:


I'm a girl.
I live in Australia.
I'm 21.
I like cheese.
I like reading fantasy and sci-fi novels.
I'm currently reading Dune.
I work at one of of the bigger Credit unions around here.
I deal with loan and other credit applications for our members.
So I basically hand money out to people all day long.
I like my job.
I have three close friends irl named Jo, Mel and Emma.
They can be found somewhere on my old blog, see above.
I like Stargate, and Futurama.
I also love the show Black Books, and if you have never seen it you need to be beaten with a shoe.
I like pineapple.
And lasgane.
And cookies... Always with the cookies.


And funnily enough, theres this game called FFXI that I quite like also. I can be found wandering around Aht Urghan Whitegate mumbling over the price of thread, while taking really terrible screenshots of unimportant things.


Speaking of which, here, have a screenshot. This is what my lolcharacter looks like.

My jobs are currently 75WHM. And 75lolBLM. I'm trying to make my BLM less lol, I'm trying to hunt down a Prism cape before I leave Ifrit due to the 200k price difference between servers :3
(edit: I'm not sure where I pulled that figure from, the difference is not that much, about 50k at the moment as I tried to buy one for up to 540k then gave up as I'm not really keen to pay that much for it.)


No cigar so far though.

White Mage.... Or lolBard.... ? Owait Dryad Staff gives it away. Need to level up my bard.. Still 63 /sigh. No one loves my bard on Ifrit.... Cerberians, please invite me to your party. /sadface.

And one more screenshot.. A rl one this time. Shh... It was my birthday :3

I'm sad to leave Ifrit, but I am looking forward to new friends and new challenges in my new home. Some things that I am really keen to do are clearing all my remaining assaults to get Captain rank up. I have just gotten First Lieutenant today (just have to do the final CS after that stupid RPS thing... all you FL and C's know what I'm talking about). Stupid crabs. And I'd also love love love love love love you forever if anyone let me join their Salvage group and if I eventually obtained Enlil's Tiara. That stupid crown has eluded me for many many many months and I'm keen to get my 5/5. I'm patient though. It took me a long time to get my 4/5.... So I can wait a little longer. *shakes fist at Alzadaal Undersea Ruins* I'd also like to get COP out of the way. I'm on 5-3 The Three Paths, but have completed the Tenzen fork (almost, but I got the level capped bit out of the way so it's basically done).

Anyways.... Thanks for reading so far, keep watching this space for more semi-interesting updates of me laying dead underneath various interesting monsters. I mean, updates of me totally pwning that shit :3

Gotta go!! >.>

*{Flee}s*
