All dropped within... 90 minutes? All I know is that the melee party was at Nexus killing as the BLM were hiking (read: dying on the way) up to Ulli's room. Before we all got there, they had gotten a stone and another one as we were clearing the room. We just kept getting drops so that the BLM eventually had to kill 6 Ullis back to back. Pretty damn lucky.

Just thought it was interesting enough to post, that is all.

Apparently I'm "unreliable as fuck" because I can't commit hours to do dynamis on my college's homecoming game day. I logged out 2 hours before dynamis was supposed to go on, which, in my opinion, is a good indication of my intentions of not going. Yeah, the game doesn't start for another half hour, but I really don't like going to dynamis for the first hour and getting nasty looks (figuratively speaking) when I have to go. Turns out they're not doing Beaucedine, anyway, but Tavnazia, which you can't leave early in to begin with.

Nevermind the fact that I've attended almost every event in the last two weeks including after-event events like Nyzul Isle and WotG stronghold NMs, I guess I have to show up to everything.

It was a long road, but 5/5 :D

Tavnazia been good to us.

Haven't updated in awhile out of laziness... that, and I started college, haven't done all that much new in the game, so I didn't really want the updates to be overly repetitive. Figured I would update now though in downtime during farming HQ Aern organs @_@

Not pictured: me switching past nation to Windurst and finally getting Cobra unit crackows. I really don't know why I keep trying to improve my Convert set, it's already at a point that I don't really have any reason to need more MP after Convert. I just like seeing the big numbers, I guess.

I'm rather pissed to learn a day later, though, that there is a San d'Orian Campaign Ops quest for the Witch sash (Splitting Heirs), a belt that I'd really really like to get. I don't wanna dish out millions for it, though, when I'm so close to getting Morrigan's robe. Speaking of which, the salvage group is kind of dying out, but I think I'm gonna try to solo my robe. It probably won't take all that long, especially if I can get people to glitch me in a few times a week. I'm actually rather excited at the idea, I hope I can get that going soon.

Aerns being pretty stingy tonight... I thought I was gonna write about something else here but I can't remember. Oh well, good night.

Finally capped RDM again from random merits from campaign, LS events, and ENMs. Last thing I need to do is cap Freeze II, it's only 1/5 right now, and I'm in no hurry to get it capped haha...

Finally got Wings I campaign medal, so now I have access to Cobra Unit gear, but I only have 52,000 Allied Notes so that's disappointing. I really don't like campaign all that much. I think they should increase the Allied Note gain from it significantly, at least to a 1:1 ratio with your experience gain. It's sad I can't even afford one piece of gear after progressing all the way from Ribbon II. I'm not really excited about Cobra Unit crackows as much as I was before. I started using Mahatma pigaches for convert so I could use plasticsurgeon without gimping myself (I used to use river gaiters) but since I got Goliard saio my HP is still ~70 above my MP in my Convert set. I don't really want to improve my Convert set anymore anyway, because doing so would require me to cure myself when I go to Convert and that sucks pretty hard. It would probably help my Convert when I'm on other subs besides WHM or BLM, though, like /NIN where my HP is higher and MP is lower to start with.

Wasted another Ultima pop the other night, I died without reraise at ~6% and there was no one else able to put up dot apparently for our usual spectacular Bio-kill. How hard is it to run away from Citadel Buster, seriously? About 6 people got hit with the first CB, mostly melee DD, so that gimped our damage output and ultimately screwed us over. I really hate seeing all of this Nashira just getting thrown in the trash like this. Ultima just seems like one mob that we can't be consistent on, ever.



I really hate this seasonal event, I got my top and I'm very unmotivated to waste my time getting the bottom. I kind of like the Spot the Difference minigame though.



Linkshell zeni-farm for Piraal's Hydra sponsor. Apparently we're going to start doing this weekly now, which I don't really like. It's going to be replacing Einherjar instead of the Wednesday random event, and I happen to want to do Einherjar for Omega ring. There is literally nothing I could really want from ZNM. Maybe those elemental skill boots? Even then, I'm not going to waste my lot on something I could trio on my own time if I really wanted it. I'd rather have Nashira, but my elemental skill is so sick on BLM right now that it doesn't really matter if I get either of them.

On the way to Bionic Bug ENM, I pop powder boots to hit 2 levers, but as soon as I drop to the lower level, somehow I end up jumping off the side of the platform entirely.





This GM helped me out, pretty quickly too, I'd say within 5 minutes. Really wish they would be that fast getting Jana's character restored, though.

And while I'm on GM screenshots:



JP LS held KV for 45 minutes while they got their people there and ready. We called GM as soon as we were ready to start fighting, about 5-10 minutes after they claimed. GM showed up for 30 seconds, disappeared, didn't do shit ultimately. The JPs managed to get it to 70% or so, wiped, and by that time earth weather was gone so it depopped immediately. Didn't even go yellow. Such a waste of time.

Just revamped my tags on my entries, I noticed the column on the right was getting pretty lengthy and I found some of them could be grouped into one general category and still get the job done. Yay for spring LJ cleaning?

6 MONTHS LATER FINALLY
Now I can rest in peace knowing my remaining 8000 IS will last infinitely...



Finished climbing Askl's runic disc in Jana's absence. We have Theryn at floor 45? now so his won't take too long either. I just want damn Goliard boots >_> Head would be nice for um... BLM stoneskin? too lol. But I won't get greedy there.



Dryad staff from Nyzul Isle. Why can't we ever nab anything useful to us? haha.



Grats to Theryn on "finishing" the shield. We just need Jana's character restored to get the rest of the currency and we're good to go. Definitely need to try 6-man Jormungand after we get that done.

And for the grand finale...



About time. 1/3.

Sorry about using all fullscreen screenshots lately, but I convert them to .jpg so they shouldn't take very long to load at all, unlike others that keep them .png. I also forget to have Photobucket stop desizing them to 800x600 but hopefully you can still see everything okay (my resolution is actually 1440x900).

And ATTN Eminent: you should start using screenshots like these for the news page instead of just listing drops. Would make it a lot more interesting :D

Hmm, got Theryn's attestation drop the other day. It sucks duelist's tabard didn't drop on any of the 4? beaucedine runs we had to do to get it, I was looking forward to grabbing one of those and trying to solo Cactrot Rapido/being just a better all-around tank.

Killed LBC again on Sunday, SAME EXACT DROPS AS SATURDAY. That was pretty lame, but Echi got the 25 for Ares body this time. I really wish I could nail a Bdob's robe to at least get me part of the way to morrigan's, but I know macha's is the real hurdle in the process. Well, we still have to get 2 drops of the 25 for usukane legs so we'll be doing at the very least, one or two more LBC kills. Maybe it'll rear its face one of these times.

Tried soloing this mission, died at 5% due to Voidsong + Curse. Was a good attempt, though... should have brought Holy waters :\



ZNM fun. Don't manaburn this, it doesn't work. SMN kick ass though.
