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

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

A Tour and some new goodies

Well, I figured it'd be kinda fun to show off my Mog House a bit ^_^  I'm a crap collector and my MH shows it :S;;;  It's a lot like how my actual room is in terms of being pretty much packed with decoration and lots to look at~  I've got each of the various fish tanks, 3 Hobby Bo's, some eggies, my Emeralda from Alchemy and some miscellanous bottles in front of it to make it look more alchemisty.

  All that Alchemy stuff is behind the folding screen in this pic, where the Behemoth statue is.  I also have all my Chocobo Circuit trophies and the storyline trophies on display :D

Got my mannequin sporting Askar and some miscellanous gear I have lying around unused, looking at the Gold trophy and the Marriage Certificate above it ^^  Or maybe she's wondering why my fish disappear from the tank occassionally... You can kinda see my Christmas boot on the left side in the back... yanno, just in case Santaru decides to come early 8D

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

Clave and I picked up our Matrimony bands/rings the other day too :D  lol and he was on THF and didn't have an snazzy gear with him for screenshots >:(

 

Finished A Shantotto Ascension the other day as well with Clave, Cellfish, Boatsoap, and Klia, all from my social LS lolMatrixlol ^^  Was a fun final fight with THE best cutscene afterward lol but I won't spoil it for anyone! Go see it yourself XD  Got myself the Tatsumaki Sitagoromo augmented with Haste+3 Accuracy +7 to be my new TPing pants on WHM meleeing :D

 

 

Been doing MMM a lot lately with Clave as I've said in the previous post when I got my Heron Ring and we get Brigand's Charts sometimes and both of us finally got our Penguin Rings from it ^_^ Yay.  Still need to fish more though... fish fish fish.. 

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

Flame is my favorite asian.

Marduk Crackows ゲットだぜ！！！

 

Yay! Finished my first piece of Marduk gear, Marduk Crackows! Thanks to everyone in Rub Club for helping me get these pwn bewts!  They'll be in my enfeebling and divine sets mainly but I might have em in my standard base set for awhile just to show off... even though nobody can really see shoes on a taru to begin with....；－；　　And Clave calculated for me that the Marduk would be slightly better than Creek F Clomps for WSing by 1DMG & -4ENM versus the 2 Attack the Clomps have over it.  Thanks for the numbers Clave!


And grats Cell on the 25 Morrigan's piece that ya missed out on the last time since you weren't there and I got em instead!  lol but I'm glad you got em this time ^_^  You deserve it!  Even though we only drag you as THF now ＾＾

Also did a bit of campaign the other day and just like taking screenies~  Which, honestly, the main point of this blog is because I like to post my pics haha and to show that I can be pretty effective as melee WHM and have tons of fun doing it!  These two pictures were in mid-Hexas and were just cool poses while Clave and I obliterated the Yagudo forces.... though I did eat dirt quite a few times in FKN against the NM hahaha... we all did lol;;;


Well! We'll be doing another Salvage run tonight and I'll be updating this post if we're lucky enough to get anything more!

Slavage, Art, and Vali's Bow!

  

Well! My Salvage group, the "Rub Club" (don't ask), has been doing fairly well lately and we got ourselves some drops in today's and yesterday's runs!  I got Macha's Pigaches and Bodb's Slops to pimp up my RDM once I complete the pieces, but that'll be for a few months yet until we move onto Arrapago and such.  Marduk stuff is still my main aim since that pertains to my WHM, but I would also like to have some nice pwnness for my RDM considering I already have 6/6 AF2, even though it's fairly rare for me to be on my RDM instead of my WHM -- but I want it to be awesomely geared for when I do have to use it!  

Clave and I need to do a few assaults to scrape up some more points for future runs, but that's no problem for us anyhow.  It's a nice change-up of pace and quick and easy to do RvB.  Just run in, piss em all off, and run like hell while Clave slices down the leader super-fast lol.

 YAAAYYYYYYYY lmao Clave and I just decided out of boredom to run up and check shadows.  There were two other people up there but they were wandering around and then *Pop*!  Claimed, killed, V.Bow!  That saves us a good 4.5M for whenever I take my RNG up!  Clave already has his :) But this is 1/1 trying for my own!  Super-duper lucky and awesome!

In other news...~ New art!
It's a portion of the banner I did for FFXIVFanart.com which is elongated and much smaller than the size I worked at, so I wanted to make a separate piece from it to show the work put into it ^^~ Was a nice opportunity to draw my character of course and the other taru in the picture is kinda based off my friend Cellfish, though with a different hairstyle.  And I just plain love leeches, titling this piece (With Clave's input!) "Leech Huggers".  They're cute little monsters, all squishy and bouncy and I hope to be able to sew myself a Leech plushie once I have some freetime to do personal projects like that :3

Enjoy!  And leave me comments so I know people are reading this ;__;

Nyzul Goodies & Merit Allocation

My Salvage/Nyzul Isle Static group, dubbed "Rub Club" (lol don't ask..), did a bout of 4 Nyzul runs this past Saturday since some of the usual members weren't able to make it. We were just 5 people (4 players though! One dual boxed :3) and since I've got a Kraken Club now, I was able to melee ヽ(^◇^*)/ We were lucky enough on our first run to see a Denali Bonnet drop, which went to me ^^- Nothing on second run, and another Denali Bonnet on third run (which Boatsoap passed on so Rydiah the dual boxed char with no jobs to equip it got it ;_; I don't think Boatsoap has any jobs to equip it either, but at least he's not a BRD-bitch alt account hahah). The fourth fight we ran out of time at 1% HP on the Cerberus boss
Very fun overall and I'm very happy to have this Kraken Club to mess around with ♥ Heck, I meleed some of the time during last night's Dynamis-Windurst run even!

Also I decided to compile a char of my current merits with the help of how merits are displayed on the FFXIAH site for those who may be interested in what a melee WHM uses ^_^
All of the ones displayed are capped or at the stopping point of where I'll be meriting them with the exception of Enfeebling Magic, which I may or may not add more into, but I do play on meriting Enhancing and maybe Elemental Magic as well in that category.

Other future merits I have have planned to get are Lower Enmity, but I will have to wait until I am finished leveling Paladin before doing that one! And well, I guess I should also put a merit into Protectra V even though I don't find it to be worth it, but at least it's extra shinies :P And in the same category, I might put a few more merits into Shellra V (maybe more in Devotion but ehh not sure.. other important things to merit for now!) And don't worry for those who may be aching over my lack of RDM oriented merits -- I am always a WHM first, but I also don't like to be gimp on my other jobs ;o so more RDM merits in teh future as well as they may be permitted :>

Little Things Here & There~

Yay! This past Sunday's Dynamis-Beaucedine run was rather kind to me (despite my body not being too kinda -- had been sick with an upset tummy!) ^^ Won RDM body, making me 6/6 for all the RDM AF, including Duelist's Belt! I haven't yet updated my Spellcast to accomodate the body since I don't use my RDM but so often especially now that I have my Mjollnir, though I'd be more than happy to attend whatever as my RDM :) It may not be as pimped out as my WHM, but it's not ghetto by any means ^^ I still hold the most pride in my WHM gear and all my wonderful signed [Clave] gear on it <3>

Also! As you mighta noticed, I like to draw and such (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration/Communication Arts)~ I had stayed down at Clave's place for 2 weeks in July and doodled up several sketches while I was there~ So I'll go ahead and share em here!~:

Kyaru versus Orc

^^ Kya and Clave~

<3>

Clave with his Amanomurakumo in his future fullset of Usukane~

Annnddd good ol Cellfish and Boatsoap... the goofy brothers who never fail to provide entertainment for the linkshell and during our Salvage runs together ^_^

Also been on a KClub hunt lately. With RL closing in on both Clave and I (particularly pressuring for Clave's case), he decided to bow out from his progress of upgrading Yoichinoyumi, and as an early birthday gift to me, is letting me use to gil made from selling all the currency he had saved up to get me a Kraken Club to Duel Wield with my Mjollnir. Neither of us will really have the time to be able to camp NMs as stalwartly as he wave been able to over the past few years, so being able to gain the gil to upgrade Ybow in any reasonable amount of time just didn't seem possible.:3 Thank you very much in advance, Clave~! ^^ Just need to find a seller who is willing to sell a club to me at a reasonable price (not ridiculously expensive like 50-60M :P Club isn't worth THAT much tbh) *cough* So if you're reading this and have a Club to sell or know someone who has one to sell, send me a message! I'm willing to negotiate!
