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

Kyarutaru vs. Kalokoko FIGHT! + other crap

While doing FoV and helping Clave unlock Empyreal Arrow for his newly attained 75RNG, my NPC Kalokoko finally dinged 61 so I got to do possibly the most fun quest in the line of 'em!  Fighting her one on one!  It's kinda like a Maat fight 'cept versus my own personal midget -- I had to zoom in my camera in order to get good screenshots lol.

I went WHM/NIN of course which deermined her job to be RDM/NIN but she didn't stand a chance.  I Hexa'd the hell out of her and she only got me with two spells, Sleep II and Water III, when she used Chainspell.. and the Water III only did like 30 damage since I had stoneskin up and all too.  I have her in Seer's gear because on my own laptop I used to have those DATs swapped with a cute schoolgirl uniform and I just haven't swapped em on this one yet.

In other news, I got my COR to 75, having taken it up with Clave's RNG for a nice boost with Hunter's Roll.  It's a shame I'll never really get to use COR since I have relic/KClub WHM, but it was still fun to level nevertheless!  Got to put my Cobra Harness to use and my full AF2 set and Denali Jacket after getting 75 in that awesome party ^^  Could have gotten a higher chain but we had to get going.




Lately, Clave and I have been helping our LS friend, Phatdade, with his Windurst missions and, now that he's switched to Bastok, those missions as well, so I took a few screenshots along the way of our records and Dade's silliness:

 Take that Tatzlwurm and Shadow Lord!  Easily broken records with our small group!  I melee'd against Shadow Lord but went RDM to Moon Reading, but having Clave there with his Amanomurakumo = rapeage in any situation.

Clave and I have also been trioing Limbus runs lately since the group we were in stopped going and we still wanted some upgrade items for our main characters and for Rydiah.  Already got the RNG pieces for Clave and one of the BRD pieces for Rydiah and a RDM for me in just the few runs we've been doing whenever we've got the chance.  ^_^ Getting around 20 or so ABC's each run too which isn't a bad profit for just being able to beat up the Elementals and various Enhanced beasts in Temenos or Slimes, crabs, and bones in Apollyon!  The challenge of pushing through it together has been pretty fun (even if we did have a bad run-in with Shiva that one time...)

Trio Triumphs!

Long time no post!  Not much interesting over the past few weeks I suppose other than getting to Maat's Cap level, though today, Clave and I had some fun with trio challenges

First up in order to prepare for the second, Clave & I trio'd Bomb Queen, utilizing my Kraken Club to gain TP fast so that I could immediately switch to the summoned Bomb Princes & Princesses and swiftly finish them off with an assault of flying hammers with Hexa Strike.  The fight was long, probably a little over 20 minutes, and we had to contend with sleeping the Volcanic Ash that repopped, but we easily kept it slept with Lullaby and Repose handy. 

And so we got the ring for Clave, which he would use on his DRK for the next fight!

TENZEN!

Well, I suck and was too busy to take screenshtos during the fight, but I managed to get one at the end where Tenzen shamefully hung his head in defeat after we took him down in a little over three minutes, beating the former record of 3m26s held by 5 people, and we were just 3!  Bwahahaha!

So now finally Rydiah has Sea access and can spend the Ancient Beastcoins we've been saving to get her Loquacious and Musical Earrings.  Finally~  Also will be a good help to have her around when we low man farm Limbus with just us.

Next order of business is just more EXPing.  I'm still hoping to aim for Maat's Cap but would also like to finish my COR to 75 (current 63 -- leveling together with Clave's RNG~).  I've also been wanting to take advantage of the whole Astral Burn craze before SE figures out a way to nerf it so I can get my SMN up fast with little pain.  Hopefully I can mooch in some SMN Burn parties on BLM too in that case....  I just want those dreadful jobs out of the way since I don't really have any desire to suffer through hours of lfg as a gimp WHM or undesirable old-fashioned nuker who has no place in the TP Burns of Today.

Until next time! 

Kupo Stuffs + Hexa Hat!

Wellll~ My LS friends and I finally finished the A Moogle Kupo de'Etat missions today~  Spread out over the course of two tries however... we failed the first time due to bad luck :X  So screenshots are mainly from the first try.

Chamber of Oracles fight!  Everyone else died so well, I stepped in with my Mjollnir and finished Nanaa Mihgo off! Bwahahaha!The second run we did of this went a bit smoother :P  No deaths at all and I didn't have to step in with my Hammer of Doom.

Kupenreich was kind of a dick, but we managed the second attempt just fine ^^ Clave died once, as did Flamedancer, but they utterly raped that Moogle down from the final 50% with a stunning 8102 Light Skillchain :O  Was pretty awesome to see and a great relief to finish~

And Yay!  I got my lovely Selenian Cap augmented with STR +4 WS Accuracy +10 and Attack +5, making it an ideal piece to use for my Hexa Strike build as well as good ol Randgrith and Mystic Boon, too!  I'm very happy to have this beauty in my arsenal now -- much better than Optical Hat and Voyager Sallet for Hexa and Randgrith respectively.

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

Overall I rather enjoyed Moogle expansion, despite its tedious little tasks ya have to endure.  But hell. Didn't have to do a damn tower run and that's definitely a plus in my book! ^_^

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 :>

♥ K-k-k-KRAKEN CLUB! ♥

A few weeks shouting and 46M gil later... I finally got a Kraken Club!
^^ It's an early birthday gift from Clave to me (my birthday is Aug 21 :3) since it was his currency we sold in order to get the gil needed to afford it. ♥ So thank you veeerrrryyyy very very very verrrrrryyy much Clave ^___^ 大好きだよ~

And so, after equipping the crazy club and switching to Whinja to dual wield it, I went out to do so campaign and give it some fun usage!BAP

This shot shows the club nicely ;o

Uhhhh RMT Faerie train!

Inevitable death by Behemoth ;___; lol the damn spikes ate me alive and then a Yagudo buttraped me by surprise.


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

And then since I had done so much campaign I was able to rank up to the Stars level, so I used my Allied Notes to get:

and

The Cobra Harness will be used primarily for my COR once it's up there ^_^ It's currently at around 64 I believe (YES I do have jobs other than WHM lol). And the Sturm's Report (which I can't help but pronounce it the same way as the Colbert Report :P) will be for landing enfeebling stuff on both my WHM and RDM. I didn't post a pic with stats but it's Magic Accuracy +2 for those who don't know~
I don't have enough AN just yet, but I plan on probably getting the Fourth Division Brunne in the future to use with my NIN (75), BST(68), and SAM(67). ^^ But no rush on that cuz that'll cost me something like 112,400 AN and I think I've only got about half that now after buying the Harness and Report.

Oh yeah, and I've had a lot of people ask about my Hexa and Mystic Boon damage so I'll be sure to take more screenshots int he future to post :D

Bappity bap bap bonk

Well, I've been contentedly enjoying being able to whap things with my newly acquired relic, Mjollnir. Also made a little pixel doll of Kyaru in melee TP gear~ Well, minus ugly turban and substituting pretty Bridal Corsage :3 ( Base credit to PinkVanilla )



STOP! Hammer Time.


Hehe a friend pointed out on the FFXIAH site when I posted this screenshot that I seem to have a vendetta against Yagudo, haha. I do tend to do a lot of images of beating Yagudo up, don't I? Hehehe.
Been doing Campaign more often than I used to (which was roughly never -- campaign was part of my Hate Everything phase after my mom died, but now I'm liking things again finally) and was invited by Emukat to join them in whacking some Yagudo cuz they wanted to see Randgrith :D

O and I enjoy this screenshot since a) I did more damage than Clave! and b) Our damage numbers are reversed! 795 vs. 597! lol

And a crit with triple damage proc! Not shabby against a Quadav!

*__* Oh yes and teh new hats for the reward fro Kupo d'Etat... omg.. Supreme Hexa Strike Weapon Skill Piece incoming! STR +4 Weapon Skill Accuracy +15 & Accuracy +10 Attack +5 will most likely be my augments. With the advent of this peice, Maat's Cap is no longer a priority. *_*

ZNMs + Progress Update

Did a Tier IV ZNM today, Sarameya. I wasn't completely altogether with myself, having had a rough day and wasn't in that great of a mood. However, Oracle's Cap dropped the first fight and I won, though in retrospect I should have passed it to someone else who needed it more than me since it's really moreso a resting piece it seems, which I simply use Goliard Chapeau for. Two Aurum Armets dropped too, one from each fight, so congrats to Barlow and Faeryl who got them~

Also, Gathered up a few more singles currency-wise, which puts me right at 90% completion! So close! Clave and I did three Up in Arms runs the other night but no luck. We've done so damn many of those runs to no avail, which is to be expected really. Though I do reaaalllllyyyy need a Kraken Club to go with my relic. He and I agreed to set aside the purchasing of Imp. Wootz Ingots for our Salvage pieces in order to save up enough to potentially just buy a K. Club. And with our steady income, it shouldn't be an issue, though I do tend to spend a ton on currency, which is my absolute priority anyway. For runs I sponsor I like to have at least 4-5M on me. Currently I have double that :D

Update:

So went out and boguht an M. Silver in Rolanmart! So 55/70 now~
Fifteen more M. Silvers to go.... Just fifteen....

Claw Hunting

Just a few screenshots from gnole farming for one of the WotG missions. Clave and I were out bonking Gnoles for a good hour or so and only saw one stupid claw drop, though we didn't have any TH to begin with.


This unlucky dead sucker was nice enough to let me hack off a claw of his to use for the mission. We stopped after that for awhile but later that night, clave had gone out on his THF and farmed up two more for himself and Rydiah. Bastards have an awful drop rate :/ Said it took him another 30 minutes to get the remaining two.

But I do enjoy being able to mindlessly bonk things and this shot just had a lot of shinies from my Hexa Strike and such. With all my gear swaps it's hard to get a shot that shows the correct gear too, and well, this one's no exception lol. At least the Redingote is shown though since that swaps in for WS, but Optical Hat should've been on (unless I had forgotten it? Possibly.. was pretty tired and didn't have every bit of my armor with me). Because of teh gear swaps and all, a few other screenshtos I had tried to take didn't even have me in them sicne I blinked! lol Oh well :P At least my NPC, Kalokoko, was seen 9_9 Ripokeke is Clave's tomato taru NPC. Kalokoko is in full Seer's cuz at one point I had dat modded the Seer's set to be either a schoolgirl or a maid (had changed them intermittently). lol Dat modding taru clothing to gender-specific things is quite funny since both male and female taru share the same body XD So it's amusing to see little boys running around in skirts and the like :P

Old screenshot from 2006 during my CoP static days. Poor Cellfish :P

Hexa fun!

Bapped some pots today while in Fei'Yin just to see what I could whip out damage wise. This is with /SCH so I'd probably be able to easily break 2000 offhanding Perdu Wand as /NIN :o I'll have to test that out too. :D



Melee'd a bit in Dynamis-San d'Oria tonight as well, parsing neck-and-neck with the MNK and THF in my party (me 17%, them each 20%) which considering I still had to cure, haste, and auspice and such, isn't bad if I do say so myself ;o Used Meat Mithkabobs since I didn't have any accuracy food which is moreso what I need, and again, /SCH. Was fun, but as always with the seemingly forever-lasting that is Dynamis, got tired towards the end and didn't melee as much. Full cleared though as usual. Something like 340-ish coins for sponsor (too bad the sponsor wasn't me ; ; 40/70 M. Silvers towards Mjollnir!) I won't be able to sposnor a Sandy until next rotation which I believe starts late June ;_;... I have a Windurst sponsor coming up in a month though and will be planning to trade all the shells I get for bronze ^_^ so still progress!
