And All Things Must End

Welp everyone, I haven't really done much of anything in game the past few months except just talk with friends and whatnot.  So unfortunately, I will not be renewing my subscription at the end of April.

You'll be able to find me over on TERA as Kyattsu on the Dragonfall server -- I'm keeping a Tera blog at http://kyattsu.tumblr.com if ya wanna reach me there!

As for FFXI, my character will not be deleted and I'll still have all my stuff I've collected over the years on her. :>  Never know if I'll come back!  Nine years and about 1150 days of gameplay on Kyaru... She's definitely been a big part of my life that won't be so easily forgotten :>~

December Update!

My update, not the game's!  So! Since my last post, some stuff has occurred!

 

Absolute Buttcheeks

Well! Clave and I got invited by Sukasaroth to tag along to help out with an Absolute Virtue fight, and I got to go WAR and Ukon-smash his pasty hiney.   Was a fun experience considering I've never messed with Sea stuff or even considered fighting AV before :D

And getting the killshot was worth it too ;o Drops were distributed to the actual LS members of Suka's group since we were just there for the ride (and title!)

Shortly after that, our old ZNM Group, Senkei, invited us to help them with a Pandemonium Warden fight!  I went WHM since that's my strongest job.  The fight took us damn near two hours with multiple wipes lol :X Thank Altana for Twilight gear!

Please note the amount of 0HP

And of course I got my 95 Mjollnir!  I did some testing last night with Clave to finally help answer questions about Randgrith's "Evasion Down" effect, and we figured the effect to be Evasion -32 on the mob with no decay over time that lasts for 1-2 minutes.  He's got his data he collected at The FFXIAH Forums.  I'm also in the process of getting data for the Recover MP and the Triple Damage proc rate on Mjollnir 95 :3

I also got a new computer. cuz. Yeah. ^

Never Ask What's in Lufaise Meadows...

So yeah.  I hope you learned your lesson, Cell.  Never ask what's in Lufaise Meadows.

Auto-follow GPS misgivings

This is what you get for pissing me off!  Say goodbye to your {ball}s!

 

 

Hot action in Uleguerand~

Mjollnir's new description

... o what the heck is t.......... WHOAMG

 

 

 

 

 

Related to that last pic. I've gotten Ukonvasara since I last updated seven million years ago :D  Still just 85 version as I'm casually gathering Orthrus Claws :>  Been a fun alternative to play and rip through monsters and SMAAASSSHHHH.  Also been leveling DNC for some fun and cute & sexy outfits!  Can't go wrong with cute dresses!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this picture-filled silly update!  My LS should hopefully be delving into Voidwatch stuff soon so may update more once we start all that ^^ But really, we're just a small group of long-lasting friends so business is never quite srs.

Mjollnir Versus Jormungand

Ever since I got Mjollnir a few years ago, smackin' Jormungand with it has been an aspiration of mine for the sake of the myth of Thor crushing Jormungand's head with his Mjollnir.  I've never been (nor wanted to) be in an HNM shell so I never really had the chance to do this fight until recently.  Duo'd it with Clave (Fugue) successfully!  Took maybe about 40 minutes?  Was a bit trickier than when we duo'd/trio'd(if you count Rydiah) Tiamat.  :D Got my Herald's Gaiters off Tiamat at least, as well as a pair for Cellfish and for Showp.

buurrrnnn

 

 

 

Oh yeah.  Forgot to mention I finally got 90 Mjollnir too >_>  Was awhile ago, but I suck at updating this :D

WTH have I done in the past 4 months!

Well. Let's see....

Finished Wings of the Goddess! 

Let us frolick away!

 Fun story and fun fights :D  Definitely recommend people to finish em!

Finished Abyssea Storyline (aka Shinryu)!

Let down :(

Also got to brew Shinryu a few times, which is pretty disappointing.  Magic WSes really shine with Shinryu so Hexa sucks. Highest I got though was over 12k.

Got all my AF3+2 for WHM and RDM!

Fun Taru POV screenshots lol

Did several lowman charrenges too, including killing Azdaja with just Me, Clave and Rydiah.  Nice trick to avoid Spike Flail is to cure outside of alliance ;o

Helped Clave work on his Twashtar! 

Tunga apparently died up on the rock after we killed it.. uhhh I'm too short to reach that

Gotta kill a bunch of Orthus now D: Need 50 more claws.
Random Fail!  During one of the last rounds of Itzapapalotl killings we were doing, some other group was claiming Tunga just to piss us off and ran around and lost hate on it, so Clave grabbed it.  The guy was sending Clave tells the whole time saying "Lol it didn't do idle, you should just die and let us have it!", completely full of BS.  Needless to say, we killed it with ease got the key item and Clave said sarcastically, "Didn't go idle, eh?" and one of the others lied stupidly and said "Yeah ^.^ I got key item" lolol full of crap :P  Sorry doods, been playing the game long enough to know when something goes idle or not.

Helped my other LSmates get their AF3!

Pompom warp ftw!

/jobemote NIN shenanigans abound in my small Abyssea group of friends :) Cellfish, Boatsoap, Zenairis, Clave, and me.  Sometimes others like Coishin, our Loot Whore of the Week, tag along too.  Coishin is granted this prestigious title from having over 200 instances of "Coishin obtains ____" in my chat logs since October 2010 from just tagging along on extra runs with us XD  Congrats Coishin! (Thanks for not letting the stuff rot and go to waste! I'm glad you were able to benefit ^^)

Got 85 Mjollnir!

Yey

I had no motivation to get this done really until the update which reduced the number of kills drastically to like 300 or something lol then I got it done in 2 days.  Waiting for the Dynamis update until I go for the Attestation mob kills :)

Got Chocobo Carvings from Clave! :D 

I fkn love these <3

:3 I really love little decorations and cute things, even if they serve no purpose.  That's why I have no inventory space :S

Took silly screenshots of Clave!

Thethe pantth are jutht fabulouth!

Did a whole bunch of other stuff I can't think of too, but uhhh let's say that Clave and I have done so much in the game that we can't really think of anything to do when we log on <_<  

Oyeah, we redid our AMK hats too, I nixed the accuracy on mine and got WS damage +2% cuz accuracy isn't really an issue anymore in Abyssea.  I've also changed up my melee gear to accommodate for the lack of need for accuracy, got Ziel Charm & Zelus Tiara and have no need to melee in Goliard Saio, so I use Redingote.  I'll eventually (lol) update my melee set lists I have on here too :)

I'd also like to welcome back a fellow LSmate, Wari, to the game after a long hiatus :D  Been helping him with nabby stuff like genkai and AF quests so we can eventually help him with Abyssea crap!  In his return, he's also brought along some of his friends, so the LS is a bit livelier!
Also, Anaentar whom I mentioned in a post in December, is safe and alive and recovering well!  Thanks for all your thoughts ^_^  <3 yay Anae~

Soon!

I swear I'll update soon! I know it's been forever! Lots of new pics and shenanigans ahead! :D

Anaentar

A long time FFXI friend, Anaentar, is currently very ill right now in critical condition at the hospital... To all who may know him or don't know him but sympathize, please keep him in your thoughts and hope for a speedy full recovery :(
 

HEKUSA SUTORAIKU

 

Dis shiz gets its own entry cuz I'm proud of it! It's my highest Hexa Strike yet :>

Granted, yeah it's in Abyssea with all the crazy buffs and Mjollnir + Molva Maul and Razed Ruin/Sanguine Scythe but hey!  Nice shiny high numbers from a Taru WHM! ;> heehee~

Pictures everywhere!

Woo!  All right time to finally update cuz people have been bitching! 8DThough I don't know why, cuz this blog is just an excuse for me to post fun pictures.  Or boring pictures, either way.  But let's see what I've been up to for the past few weeks, in no particular order!  I just select the image I feel like talkin about and go from there :D

Oh yeah!  So remember that Sippoy pic I posted awhile ago cuz he scared the piss outta me when I first saw him?  Well, Clave and I trio'd him easily (and I still kept my distance....)  Got his Atma!

 We also fought his buddy Kutharei which we had the luck to find him up!  He was a bit of a pain, but we had mroe than just me and Clave thankfully -- had Cellfish, Boatsoap, & Toren too!  Got his Atma, Laurel Wreath, Navarch's Mantle, and... I don't remember what else, but I got those things 8D
.. Oh I thought I took a screenshot of "Kyarutaru obtains the Laurel wreath" but I guess not.  So no additional screenshot there.

That night we bonked Kutharei was pretty productive in general -- fought Cirein-croin a few times since Toren needs his lanterns or whatever, and we managed to geettttt:

Whee!  Molva Maul!  I've since been able to play with it offhand with my Mjollnir using Razed Ruin and .... well I forget which other atma I used.  Voracious Violet?  Hell if I know I have a crap memory.  Was able to pull out some nice numbers with Hexa Strike without food and such.

I did a 2600-ish one on a colibri but I can't find that screenshot >:|

Bonk bonk bonk. Stupid blinkmenot doesn't show my melee gear..

 Been doing a lot of TE and Key item farming in Abyssea with just me and Clave.  So we get to stare at big chests all day :D

 This was a fun fight!  Trioing Amahulak with Clave and I got to melee as well!  I reckon I just spammed with Kraken offhand and pulled hate off him quite a bit lol  He had to Accomplice/Collaborator me a bunch :3  Fight went pretty smoothly and we got the jewels and whatnot we wanted as well as the BST Axe thing which Clave got.

*************

During another farming session we bonked Carabosse a bunch for Toren.  So here's a shiny pic.  Nothin special, she's not too hard.

This corse thing was a douche.  Hadal Summons bonked the crap outta some of my DDs if Barfira was down, but we still managed and took him down twice!  If all else fails, run around the rock and try to avoid being hit!  I like this screenshot :D

Inside its guts!

 We were gonna go bonk this bigass Sandworm too after that Tit-corse thing last night but someone else was already fighting it so we just enjoyed the show!  Lots easier to get fun screenshots when you don't have to worry about dying :o

 And lastly!  Cuz I took this about an hour ago...  Trioing Ovni!  Didn't get the haste thingy, but got my Augur's Jaseran thingy 8D  We're camping it again in hopes to get the Bullwhip Belt* (dammit you fkrs the haste thingy!  I don't pay enough attention!)!  So off to pay attention while camping :X 

ENJOY THE POST

BINCKLY BINKS

I told you I suck at updating this!  So this post is JUST FOR YOU!  Well. And for Alpaka and Sushiroll too 8D  Actually, let's make it for everyone BUT Bincks.

 

THERE. 

... I'll have a real update within a few days :P  Fun with Razed Ruin + Sanguine Scythe Atmas + Hexa Strike!

I suck at updating

Ahoy! Lots of stuff since last update but I suck and don't take many screenshots :P Got WHM and RDM to 85 ad COR to 80 (And leveled Clave/Fugue's THF to 85 as well since I'm an EXP addict and Rydiah's WHM and BRD to 85 too..). 

Hood looks kinda Assassin's Creedy

Got mah Orison Cap +1  in about two days worth of camping Whiro the Eft in Attohwa -- haven't worked much towards my RDM AF3 Hat or WHM legs and such, but I do have some seals for em cuz they're pretty sexy.  So much stuff to do with all the Abyssea stuff :o  Which is good cuz I likely will not be playing FFXIV -- my laptop isn't powerful enough and my part time job isn't enough to afford a new one :P  I'll wait until 14 unsucks anyway if I do play, but I've wasted the last 7 years of my life on FFXI and I don't want to give up just yet!

I about peed my pants when I cam across Sippoy in Abyssea-Vunkerl... I even had a damn dream that night involving him wiping out my party of friends cuz he wandered near us ;~~~;  Stupid FFXI infiltrating my brain...

Abyssea is kinda nice though cuz when I go on WHM I always go /DNC and can melee my heart out :D  But uhh... I've gotten so many merits I don't really have anything left to put them in so.. I can't really go on Kyaru anymore (which is why I leveled Rydiah and Clave lolol).  I don't really like Tahrongi though due to the lack of natural Ruby lights -- makes exp accumulation far too slow.  I like frogs in La Theine.  I haven't had much experience EXPing in the Scars areas (aside from a not too long party in Misareaux on birds which wasn't bad).  Just anything but stupid Pachypodiums prz and I'll exp allllllllllllllllllllllllllll night.

I haven't worked much at all on the Mjollnir trials... it's just too many killshots and it's just really disheartening.  I've written SE some nasty feedback about the relic trials.  It's just kinda bullshit that after the years of hardwork we put into initially obtaining them, we have to put forth sevenfold the effort to keep them being the strongest of their category to beat out the new weapons they implement.  It's easy enough just to say, kill some NM and BAM! now you can own a lance that you can use the relic WS with every 13 WSes or so with really nice base damage!  Sucks. =/  Should just autoupgrade the relics to keep them the best :/  Not make us slave over killing over eight thousand monsters to do it.  Granted, the stats on the 85 Mjollnir are pretty sexy but... that's still 5500 killshots away.... .___.

  The main draw to getting Mjollnir for me was it's high DMG rating for a club to make meleeing viable, but a lot of these new clubs and such (like Molva Maul - DMG 65 Delay: 308 Latent effect: Randgrith) is better than my current DMG+8 Mjollnir, just without the Attack +20 and Additional Effect Recover MP.  Just kinda sickening seeing such things after spending 150M+ on upgrading.

And ending off on a silly picture:

{Fake moustache}

Catch up post!

Done a lot since the update!  Been having a great time playing around in Abyssea^^  I've gone in groups from being just me and Clave to full pick-up alliances for exp/cruor farming.  The first exp group we went with sucked because some idiot suggested Pixies over Gigas and well.. that was just terrible :P

The second one was pretty decent, though slow starting -- went after bees in La Theine and dinged 80 in it, meleeing as WHM/DNC the whole time :D

Oh yes, which brings me to the fact that I SMN Burned my DNC all the way to 49 since DNC has Dual Wield now, and Reverse Flourish is pretty fun and I'm able to self chain with it and Kraken Club ^^  KC is just plain cheating with Drain Samba II as well, sapping back a decent amount of HP per round of bonks.

********************

 

And in other news, which I made a brief emo post about upon finding out...   not quite looking forward to the next two trials for Mjollnir...  The first one involves 1500 more Randgrith killshots on amorphs. Ugh ;~;  Painful.

 And then 2000 killshots on Vermin... though the results are quite tasty :Q

Before even thinking about dabbling on my trials though, I've been helping Clave with his, which the first one is Arcana and I don't remember what his second is.. still have 800-something more to go for his first one before I'll bother dreading his second :P

Also been idlly working on some other Magian Trial things.  I've got Culacula right now on the Urd stage of the trial path towards Gambanteinn.  Though the likelihood of me ever finishing it anytime soon is slim, I figure it'd be a nice strong powerhosue option for offhanding when Kraken isn't wise.

And as far as another multihit Kraken alternative, I've started another club trial towards Naboot, though I haven't done the math yet to determine which final outcome to aim for for that yet.  Still got a billion more trials for that before having to think too hard :>  Plus uh, art major. I can't do the math anyway 9_x

 ***************************

And lastly, I'd like to give a little shout to those of you who read this, such as Karri! Who was so kind as to send me a tell today! :O  Welcome to Slyph, Karri! Hope ya like it here! :D

Update

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;


3500 more finishing blow Randgriths....

Ding!

Yaaaaaaaaaay!

lol Had just been talking to Clave to about fishing stuff (and how much moolah I've been rakin' in with Liks and Gugs and my rare skillups, then lo and behold! First fish I catch today grants me with the final .3 I needed for 100! :O ILU LIKS! FU GUGS >:O

Gotta keep mah fish pimp Clave happy! D=!  so I'll still be fishing to get gil to recoup the costs of the Morrigan's ingots I bought at the server merge :P

Uleguerand Wildlife Control Services

Are tigers hindering your trek to Bearclaw Pinnacle? Rabbits consistently humping your leg in desperation to reproduce?  Then call Uleguerand Wildlife Control Services, your #1 source for pest elimination in the snow front!

... ok yeah sorry for that bit of cheese :P Just spent over 20 hours worth of time there slaughtering rabbits and tigers, landing the killshot on the with Randgrith for Trial 1064!

 Another Hare taken care of!

But yaaaaayyyyyyyy finally done!  And I don't even want to think about what sadistic thing S-E will come up with for the remaining relic trial(s) :|  This was torture enough! ;~;  Thankfully I had help from Clave 98% of the time to speed up the kill rate to about 80-90/hour, up from my measly 25-30 I was able to manage on my own.  But yeah. fk Uleguerand.  And fk wherever we'll be going to finish Clave's 2nd Amano trial on vermin ;______;  Oh well, at least the upgrades are worth it!

Prior to doing this second trial stuff, Clave and I finished up the last of the WotG missions that are out and I'm dying to see what happens next, but gotta wait eternity for the next missions update and by then I will have forgotten the epicness ._.But that's why there are screenshots (and Goblin Footprints :P)!


Look away if you don't want some spoilers, but these were just cool lookin scenes!

Ok well this last one is unrelated, but I saw some random linkshell forming a line in Port Jeuno after finishign my Trial and decided to butt in :>  HI RANDOM PEOPLE!
