Unclaimed whut???


hehe chuckles. I love Pirates of the Carribean. Probably one of my favourite movies.


As for things I did this week (and last week, I think I'm a bit behind on updates sorry!), there was a lot of the usual and a bit of the new included. Was overall, a nice varied week. And some groovy screenies were taken, my favourite was the Dynamis Xarc one. You will see what I mean when you read on.



Killed ourselves a Behemoth, and sorry for the ghey screenshot, forgot to take any without all the UI crap (which is a waste of time for the most part anyway as it doesnt even tell you what you really want to know). Gogo Thundercloud.


The next day made up for the crappy drops yesterday, 2 hides! Ka-ching!


So it's true! In the next version update you can totally change your race! I decided to become a Mithra, just cause theyre so purrrrfect.

Jokes, jokes. Why would I want to be a Mithra!? Elvaan's are the sexiest race by far...

If you look closely, Tzaellia is standing right in front of me, and I happened to swing my camera around at an odd angle and found myself with a tail >:D


Day six hundred Turtle, and counting... I still haven't seen any eggs drop off the NQ, I think it's a myth that SE made up so that people would actually come out and kill this thing, because lord knows it drops fuck all else. I do believe that Luciendar still needs it, as well as maybe Kattsy? I can't think of anyone else in WW that needs, I do think that Cheeks has it already, and that all the other monks already have the BB. I could be wrong though. One day !!!


We had a go at hunting sandworm last week, and managed to claim before anyone else and fight it, although we had to kite it around a bit until everyone was able to come out to gather. I really do hate the constant stream of campaign battles in the cities... Makes it soooo hard to get around in the past without that warp NPC. I think they should make it accessible all the time, even during battles.


Anyways.... We got warped to Serket's lair and fought a great fight, and slayed the scorpy well within the hour. It got a little hairy here and there, it is a LOT tougher than the lolSerket in the basement of Garliage Citadel. I remember the days I spent camping that biatch, 6 days in a row I camped and claimed, (this was against other social/event linkshells back on ifrit, before I joined the HNM scene) and not one ring dropped, and had TH2+ every time. On the sixth day, a V claw dropped, so I sold it and bought my Serket ring instead with some money I had saved up as well. Got it in the end!


Anyyyyywayyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssssss................ Wild drops from Serket, a fat GREATS to Lament for Antares Harness, woo~ and to Liliwitch for White Tathlum.


I don't think this one needs much explanation... One day.. One day my dear...


Moar Turtles. No Eggs.


And more WOTG stuffs! Killed my first Dark Ixion (2nd for the linkshell) It was quite a tough fight, took us around 2 hours to take him down, but I put that down to inexperience at the fight, but we killed him pretty fast in the last 30%, once we were getting the hang of it. GREATS to umm... Weedeater for WAR gaiters, ummm Nyanoh? for Azoth, and I think Mattingly for Ixion Cloak. Drops got handed out when I was afk, so I'm not 100% about it. If I'm wrong, just post a comment and I'll update it soon^^ Nice drops though, just needed that cape... My BLM would have a coronary if I got that any time soon. Stupid NMs are a bitch to camp though, stupid thing runs through 12 zones before you catch it. Maybe one day ^^


I took a gamble and went on another Salvage run with Neeble's group, and I really actually enjoyed the run this time, I think the last time I went with them was an exception, I found out later that they always got jewed on that boss, and needed the morrigan bit that drops from it, so did a run just specially for the boss. We killed all NM's and ran out of time on the last boss, but got Neeble a shiny new Enlil's Gambison. Have only ever seen one of these drop before (mine hehe) good job and greats to Neeble!



Ahhh Tiamat. She loves the drama, this one. Another early morning pop, (evening for me) and we just didn't have enough people gathered to claim it, and hung around until RTU claimed, but they had such a hard time of it, I don't know if they have ever killed it before, but they wiped a few times, and had to get Exre LS in to come help them out. We actually managed to claim it at 4% but half the alliance went afk and we wiped >.<; /sigh/sigh. Oh well, next time hey. Was a bit exciting toward the end there, but I can't say it was the best 7 hours I have ever spent...



Dynamis - Xarcabard was a bit gimpy on drops, not even anything nice from SL, just coins. I love this picture though hehe so pretty. Grats boys on your new gears!


Hehe had to include this one, was too good to leave out. Zecilus decided to do a bit of exploring and ran out way too far and aggrod everything upstairs and we all wiped hehe. Better luck next time hon. Also we tried doing that fragment again, but it warped sooo fast... sooo ghey.


Salvage again with Neeble's group, a nice fun run.. With lots of shinies going to the floor. Grats! :3


I think I actually have all or almost all the 15's, but my Morrigan's pieces are with the NPC storage so I got another pair of pants. Go me.


Was mucking around in campaign battle on my PLD to get my level (was like 2000 short) and all of a sudden this dragon comes out of nowhere, Metzzo pointed it out and it startled me, but it turns out its an enemy Beastmaster's pet. Man... If I could call that sort of pet... I'd go level BST right now.

Why don't we get cool Wyvern pets??


Groovy new orc looking things. Just thought I'd include because it looks cool hehe.


Grats to Mattingly on WSNM, can't remember which one this is for.. Sword? Either way grats on your new WS!


Did some sky farming too, in preperation for Tuesday sky, normally I wouldn't post this as its not really that interesting, but Zec and Luci's lots were so bad I thought everyone deserved to see these epic fails. In the end, grats to Glacion(I think) for the stone! GL on your new panties.


Latest cloth achievements: Hit 88.6 Clothcraft and also attained Veteran status! So working on Guild points again, I have about 50k points toward my Tailor's Ring. Vury nice..


I do think this is the first time we have had the Aery completely to ourselves. And this is like 2nd window in too. Just amazing.


So amazing that we got to watch Fafnir eat breakfast too, poor guy never has a chance to even scratch himself every other day...


In the end we claimed it we noticed one of the JP shells running through the tree, so we killed it. Fun times. Everything went free lot and no one needed anything so I got 2x inventory -1. Great stuff.

Overall, a fun packed week, sorry for the late updates, I've been busy and working a bit more than usual, but hoping to have another, shorter update for you guys in a couple of days.

Loves you all xox Alsha~
