AWOL?


Sorry for the lack of blogging from my corner of the world, I have just been so busy at work lately, I haven't had much time to play. I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the planet, although back in the old days, that was virtually possible considering I live in Australia.

Lately, I basically come home from work and am exhausted just sitting down, so have been keeping pretty low key. As for the events I did go to, they were mainly from last weekend, as this week I have been working early every day, and I was meant to have Saturday off, but now am working 9-5 /sadface. And then I have a work function on at 7, it will be a rush to get home and get all beautified and then go back into town. I'll manage somehow. I have to wear a dress too.... /sigh. Well I already have the dress, but had no shoes... So I went out hunting in the mall tonight. I ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes that I really can't afford... Hence me picking up Saturday's shift.


Its a vicious cycle. (note that the men are rolling their eyes and the women are nodding in understanding?)

So as for events that I managed to get to this week, I cleared my first Dynamis-Qufim.
Congrats to those that got new shinies, I think I am still working up attendance points to be able to lot items, the minimum points being 8, and the fact that I end up having to jet to work half way through most runs doesn't help either :\





We also went Ixion hunting last weekend, and I went and did a bit of exploring in the past... (insert token death picture here)


Nevertheless, we did find Ixion, however, I had fallen asleep as it was around 3am. Congratulations to Tzaellia for Ixion Cape, Congratulations to Laverna for Ixion Cloak and Congratulations to Lolchipmunk for WAR Gaiters!

My first Tier 2 Einherjar also~ This was a really fun one, we had to kill the boss's simultaneously, we came close to running out of time, was a lot of fun. Bunk drops too, but nice to get the win~


I saw a shout in Whitegate for Storms of Fate quest (ie: Bahamut Ver.1) and asked to come along as I needed this clear as well. Went around to do my final CS for CoP missions (yes i know, im ultra lazy and never got around to it). Everyone was like oooh its so amazing its like the best cs in the whole game, but idk, it was okay... The music was sort of nice I suppose, and some pretty landscapes, but it wasn't really as groundbreaking as I expected. Maybe I can blame people like Lament for getting my hopes up! *shakes fist* I do like pretty landscapes though, and here are a few for your viewing pleasure:




And onto the fight~!! The mighty BAHAMUUUUUUUUTTT!!!!


The alliance was fairly nice, but idk, I have never done this before, but they acted like they were going to zerg it, but they hardly had any melees, just a bunch of blms running around....


So we died.. But no biggie, we can just try again right????


And one more time~ I gave up after that, was getting frustrated with the game and sort of punching things :\ Okay, I lie, I didnt punch anything but I was grumpy so hopefully WW lets me get this done next time they go to do BV2. If I'm not chained to my desk at work, that is.


Went to do the weekly ENM at Bearclaw Pinnacle with Zecilus (this is #2). We got up there and realised it was just starting ice day.... Which meant permanent ice weather all day. So we duo'd a bunch of buffalos til the day passed, and got some tasty xp in the process. And!!!!!!!!!! Broke my record on non sea mobs damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @.@;; And I didn't even ES it!

Okay, I'm done gloating.

Saw Jormy. Again. /wave


Ooooh I was so mad that night, was sliding down the mountain to drop onto the shelf to the tunnel that leads to the ice item, and I fell through the fucking mountain sideways and ended up dumped underneath Bearclaw Pinnacle. And the GM had the audacity to tell me that it wasn't a glitch, but was a trap designed on purpose. Fuck that. I have never fallen into that "trap" before, and have never noticed a glitch until now. Why the fuck doesn't it say that on the freaking wiki then?? (note: you may notice a trap to the left side of the slide down, try to position yourself on the right side of the drop to avoid having to walk around again.) GMs can blow me, they're good for nothing else.

/end rant.


I was really calm and collected towards the GM though, despite his lack of logic, and my burning desire to bash him in the face with a saucepan. I was swearing a bit on vent though, I think I shocked poor Bako, he didn't know what to say :\

Ended up going to bed after that, I was tired and grumpy and pissed off, as I had home pointed and come back only to get stuck in the glitch again... So I went to bed. We did the ENM the following night, without incident (OR ANY FUCKING GLITCHES MIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

And we got Scouter's Rope. Ftw. Next time It better drop 2x Forager's Mantles for all my trouble.


Did some Paladin AF's too, thanks to Zec for helping with finding my pants coffer, and thanks to Anime, Bako and Zec for helping me with crown coffer (Garliage citadel ewwww) But found it all very quickly so was very easy and quick.

And you all laughed when I said I had 17 keys hoarded away in my Mog house. Who'se laughing now??? hehe


Realised I had 7 unused merits.... Mmmm..... BLM..... I love BLM more and more, especially after increasing merits.... Makes me wanna.... uhh nevermind >.>;


That's about all the interesting stuff really, I levelled Clothcraft up to 72.1, and got 75k worth of Guild Points. I can get my Crafting glasses now, but I'm thinking to wait out the other 25k and buy my sexy apron. I know I know, its the same +1 stat.... But sexy apron! !!!

U just wait.

This 73-78 stretch on Rainbow thread is painful though.. Spider webs go for 2500g usually here, on the AH.. But while i can sell the result to make profit, its only if i dont break too many... Which I do. And I havent gotten much skill up lately... /sadness.

I could always go farm them, and turn in 100% profit.... But that would involve actual farming. And I think we have established that I don't. Farm. At all.

I dont' have enough time to do that. Also, this game is meant to be fun! Make other ppl farm for you. >.>;; Srsly though, if anyone reading this on Cerberus has spider webs to sell, send me a tell I'll give you a fair price for them. You get something for nothing straight away, and I get something for cheap withough having to waste my time farming... Cmon... you know you want to...

But yeah.. Not much else happening for me my lovely happy campers, so until I have something more exciting to discuss, Au revoir!

Welcome to WhirlingWind, indeed. I do believe that you die a lot. And, while there is nothing wrong with spending copious ammounts of time on your back, you should at least be concious for it.

Also, needs more updates.
