Of Turtles and Wyrms

Another shiny update for my lovely readers, but this one is specially for you Luci, I wouldn't want you to die of boredom on us just yet!!

More fun stuff I did this week,


Camping Xolotl for Luciendar's B.kotes. No drop on this one, but Congrats on your next kill, getting the drop. See? My TH-10 really does work.


I went on a Salvage run with some members of Progeny, with Eugene and Notorious of WW. I can't say I really like the way they run it, its a lot different to what I'm used to, but each to their own right? Congrats to people on drops, and thanks for letting me come, it was fun! I still need to find myself a nice group to do this with again regularly.. Hard to find though as many are already full or go at the wrong times for me. Who knows, maybe we will end up making a morning Salvage group if we get enough morning people :) (I'm crossing my fingers) I don't know how I would go at leading a group though if I were to make one, you never know though, will have to wait and see :)


Adamantoise.. No egg today, sorry Luci. Didn't SS drops because well, there weren't any. Early morning turtles are my favourite kind of turtles ._.



Got mah sexy Storm fife! Gogo bard. This one gives +1 ballad in Assault and Salvage. Vury niiice. I know its only able to be used in these areas, but Ballad +1!! It's half a Gjallarhorn!! Right?? >.>;

Next item I'm working on is the Yigit piece from here, I think it's the turban. Then just need the rest of my points for my boots, I'm about half way, then need to do all the points for the pants in Leuojam Sanctum. Then done for Yigit set woot~



Did my first KS99 run... Oh my lord it took so long. We started at like, 3:30am my time and I wanted to come do a few as I had never done it before, and I stayed up about 3 hours before I went and passed out on my bed. Was really fun though, we did the Early bird gets the Wyrm one, its like a bit of a cross between Fafnir and Tiamat. I went BLM was a lot of fun. I died a few times being stupid with nuking but totally worth it XD



And here's the drop list for the ones I attended, mostly Siren's hairs for those that used orbs, and the odd sword or dragon heart, etc. Grats to those who got moneys and shinys, pity we didn't see any speed belts, but maybe next time :P

I forgots to screenshot Einherjar, we did a Tier 2 run and got the win, nothing interesting dropped though.


Went and recapped exp in Mount Zhayolm with Metzzo, and got a few Wamoura Cocoons for my crafting, and dinged into 82 Clothcraft.



Low manning Adamantoise is always fun, especially when we have lots of links. Who needs capped exp on bard anyway?


2nd time around we killed it good, forgot to screenshot again, but it didnt drop anything anyway so who cares really :3

That's it for the moment, I have a few more things to update, but will put it in my next installment. I really though I had more screenshots on this one, unless I've deleted them somehow accidently. Either way, will be another update shortly, so stay posted.

This one took me a few days to write, as I started it then was away for a day or 2 entertaining friends. Had a great time, got a bit drunk and generally had fun. Who knew I had real friends haha. Love you guys!

*sneezes*

Seriously, omg I'm so sick I think I'm going to die. I have had the flu or a really really bad cold for a few days now, I can't seem to shake it. I had to have Thursday and Friday off and I missed my shift on Saturday as well because of it. I hate being sick so much, I get really really miserable when I'm unwell. Some people can be cheerful when their ill but not me. So sorry everyone that's had to put up with my bitching on FFXI because I'm feeling too meh to go out and do anything else :P Anyway.......... As for stuff I did recently, got some tasty screenies of fun stuff. The coolest thing by far was our first Odin kill. We did such a good job, everyone was pro and we kicked ass. Good stuff WW~!


Little things first: I finally got my Gallant Surcoat, *which I haven't been using~gogo Hauby* But always fun to finish up a full AF set, to put in storage when I don't need it.


And have been levelling Paladin with my little SP lately, Zecilus on RDM and Metzzo on SAM. Making parties is so much easier when you have a tank and a healer already.


Clothcraft 78~! Capped on Rainbow thread, and next I'm working on Rainbow cloth to 80 and Puk Fletchings to 82. After that, I guess I can try do Wamoura Silk until 88. .. Bit of a jump but 6 levels is not so bad. And I think Wamoura Cocoons are fairly cheap to buy. We shall see!


Ah, another unclaimed Tiamat. Unfortunately this one popped in the morning again before maintenance, and we lost it due to not enough people online. Next time !!


Mmmm Behemoth. Hides have gone up in price a bit since the ill-famed lottery dropping prices like bricks. Gil is nice though, fun times.


And one more, the next day. The day after this one, KB popped while I was sleeping, I woke up and ran out to watch this nab LS fight it, they dropped it 30 seconds before rage. I really want to see this one of these days lol. I'm such a sadist.


Limbus fun, Apollyon again as BLM. I love this Limbus as BLM its so much fun. Drops included:
SAM Godyss
NIN Godyss
BLM Nyanoh
SMN Godyss
THF Floor
Magenta Chip


Okay so thats not really Fafnir but I bet if it was, people would be less likely to kill such a cute dragon, right!?! Oh wait.. It drops Riddil doesn't it. Nevermind. So many people in the Aery that Fafnir didn't load even once on my screen. So I fudged a screenshot. Enjoy! :)


We killed Odin for the first time! It was sooo cool everyone did such a good job, no one messed up at all. It got a bit tricky at the end when it spammed its summons on the tanks when Odin was at like 2% But Omg so cool. And good drops too!


Grats to ~~~~~~~ (I think this is right, I d/cd when people were lotting on things so this is an educated guess, let me know if it's wrong)
M Body Dungee
D Feet Alshandra (this autosorted I swear I didnt lot on it)
P Hands Synthetik
W Body Auspice (grats to +1~!)
V Helm Kelari (very very very coool)

Had some fun times at Salvage too, trying to get Odog's Morrigan legs :[
Got the wrong item drop! But Grats to Odog on Ares legs 35~ (no one else wanted it so grats?)



We didn't think we would kill the final boss with 6 ppl (Me BRD, Odog WAR, Pak MNK, Auspice RDM, Wolf THF, Neera WHM) but we did, with 3 seconds to spare lol. Good thing we didn't really need the drops :[


Ah, Dynamis Xarc. Fun times. And we have a new Monk in the LS, Luciendar.

Welcome to WhirlingWind XD


Our TH was so broken yesterday ; ; Only 1 AF and Mantle. And we were fighting a fragment for an outside person, but it warped at like 30% sadface. Next time !!

Thats about it for now, other than we got Nidhogg this morning while I was sleeping, Grats to Eugene on A.body and grats to someone else on N.Legs *(sorry I don't know who but grats to you) I'm going to lay down for a bit while we are camping Xolotl, I really hope this pops soon, want to go do my guild items for today. I got Adept level the other day too~ so I'm clear until 88 XD

Ciao ciao xx

*dreams of turtles*

It's so true.

I got a new shiny this week, Yigit Gages! 2/5 Yigit set now, I'm working on my Storm Fife next, only around 7k more points to go on that I think, then will try for the Yigit item there too. I still need Yigit feet though... So going to watch out for some Lebros shouts while my Assault static is on vacation lol.


My first Tier 3 Einherjar! (I think. It should be the first, but I could be wrong. Maybe its the second. One of the two at least :\) Drops drops drops hmm.. Have only seen one abj. drop from Einherjar and it was a dodgy one, so it almost doesn't count.


Fun times in the Aery. I got to witness (and experience!) my first Spike Flail. Highpower LS managed in the end to kill it anyway, @5minutes before Rage went off. Hum...


Watching Nidhogg rape everyone was ultra fun. This is what gaming is all about! Watching big dragons eat people. My death was a sad side effect, but what would my blog be without weekly pictures of me laying dead in uncomfortable places?


Dynamis San d'Oria was good fun until after the boss where we wiped a few times. Sadly I had to leave early, so the drop list is incomplete, but I am told that we got a few more after I left: (not sure how right this is but close at least)

Thomas-NIN
Wangwang- NIN
Necksnapper- BST
Synthetik- DRG
Censorship- BRD
Christian- RNG
Censorship- WHM

Congrats to all for new shinies!


We got Tiamat again this time around, drops were bunk though. Fun fight, early mornings are sooo fun :\ I feel like a cheer leader some times though, "Come on guys! You can do it! Move your butt out to the Chasm, lets go kill some dragons!!" *shakes her pom poms*

A girl's gotta do what she's gotta do.

It's hard getting ppl to gather in the morning! >.>;



60BCNM why oh why do I bother ?

orite.. Kclub. One day maybe! (I used this screenshot so it looks like i solo'd it. Thanks to Eugene and Zecilus for the kind loan of their warm bodies to throw at this monster squid) We should disembowel it next time, maybe its eaten the Kraken club by now... Lord knows it's not dropping it any day soon.

/end tangent.

So we killed a lot of turtles this week. (as I am writing this we are up to day 8 turtle.. And it's getting earlier and earlier, meaning that when it pops, no one will be up to kill it and all my camping hours this week will have been wasted in vain. /sadface.)


Einherjar in WaitingWind is always interesting, included for your pleasure is one of my finer lolscreenshots. I know, I know, but it made me giggle, so there :P


Tier 2 clear again, more Therin Ichor mm... I'm up to about 7k now I think. Half way point! Which to get first though? My WHM would love Morgana's Choker (actually I have been lusting over that in an unseemly fashion for a while now, but am thinking whether it would be smarter to get Omega's ring first, as I would use that more often). I have a bit of time to think about it though. Mmmm mmmmorganas.


If only Adamantoise shouted fun stuff like "Cowabunga dude!" when you killed him, might make all that freaking camping worth the wait.


Maybe boring for you, but I was excited. I got my spinning key item now, I can see myself using this one a bit, as I will be making rainbow threads for profit synths, and it will save my moneys on lightning crystal (and supposedly, save time also.) I am not sure if this is wise to use while I am still skilling on it though, presumably you would prefer not to and synth more times and there fore more chance at skill up. I'm not sure, its 1am here, I'll have to think about this again at a normal hour of the day. I'm trying to think of whether Fletching would be useful, but I never craft those unless for skill up so hm. I guess if I was ranger and doing woodworking to make arrows then I guess that would be useful? /sigh tired. Next stop, Tailor's Ring and/or Magnifying Spectacles. Then Gilt Tapestry, then Weaver's Signboard. One sweet day...


While camping my best friend, we found this dude up and unclaimed. Well, there was a whole other linkshell camping Kreutzet, but if they didn't claim it, it was up for grabs right?

Gratz to Leona!


And no comment...


But one last thing before I hit the sack !!!


That is all.

Short updates and early onset Alzheimers :\

Hello Friends!

This is a bit out of date, I started writing this on whatever date comes up on the post, but it's really the 18th of July now so hm... anyway... on with the update! (Yes, I realise it's a short one, but I will have a newer one to follow this shortly, that is, if i don't get sidetracked again)

We did another Tier 2 Einherjar this week, as we didn't have enough members for a T3. Got the clear, and Dungee got the abjuration. Grats man!


Pretty rainbows, just because :)
I don't remember having seen one of those like this, either that or I'm always afk on autorun through the plateau XD


Thanks to Beanie for helping me on my PLD AF Body quest, unfortunately, I can't read instructions, and didn't sneak pull the NMs and got stabbed repeatedly in the face by a few angry orcs. Thank jeebus for reraise though, we managed it in the end! And I still haven't gone to pick that up yet, I have to visit Jugner forest, then back to sandy to pick up my new armor. Maybe I'll do that tonight, now that I'm thinking about it :)


Dynamis- Bastok, a success as usual. I got myself a shiny wootz ore! Ka-ching! Time to clothcraft :P

I know its a sad obsession, but I am still pushing my craft, I know it's not very profitable, but its relaxing. I haven't really done much on the game lately bar crafting, I'm pushing my way to 80 so once I hit that landmark I may take a bit of a break, will see how I go... I'll keep you all posted, as I know your just DYING to read about my skilling up rofl.


Oh yeah, Dynamis. Grats to all who got shiny things, and yay for my lolPLD getting a new hat to wear when I level up. Funnily enough, I was the highest level paladin who didnt have it already, so woot woot. I like dynamis. Fun times.

That's it for the minute, I'm not sure If I had planned more screenshots or if this was all I had for now, I started this a while ago so I seem to have lost my train of thought. Gogo 12 hour work shifts.

Love you all a bajillion to infinity and more.
