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~

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!

Macha-cha-cha

Tonight's Arrapago Remnants run was a bit crappy performance-wise, but the nice surprise of a Macha's Coat made it at least a little bit worthwhile!  Since Cellfish already got his (since Morrigan's is his primary set, whereas it's my secondary even though I finished Marduk), I got this one ^_^  Granted, both he and I still need the 25 from Bhaflau and I still need to pop the frog that drops the 15 too, but those are cake in comparison to the rarity of the 35.  Finally have a use for the gil I've been sitting on like a dragon the past few months.  Not much out there that I'd wanna buy since I pretty much have everything I could ever want for WHM, but Clave wants me to try to pick up a White Tathlum sometime if I can land a good price for it (2.4M or less).

Also about a month ago I went out with my friend Coishin and a friend of his to Ru'Aun for some Fields of Valor.  I had an extra Blue Cape with me amidst all the failures of augmented Rainbow Capes, and upon defeatign Eraser, I got a ncie little surprise of Accuracy +2!  I know it's nothing fabulous, especially on a cape like Blue which decreases HP, but hey!  I finally have a friggin back piece with accuracy on it for White Mage!  Clave made another slew of Rainbow Capes for me the day before yesterday, so gonna try to get decent melee stats on one of those instead of having to use this Blue Cape.  But for now it's better than Bellicose in my opinion!  WHM severly needs as much Accuracy as possible since we can't use Amemet or even Accura or hell, anything really.. gotta augment away!  So hopefully out of this batch of 7 I'll get something aside from stupid magic resistance crap >:/  

Haven't been playing as often lately since RL's taken a hit, but just been finishing up WotG nation quests (finished Windy awhile ago which was badass), and did Bastok the other day and got a little bit done with San d'Oria too.  Been slacking off as far as fishing goes :X Still at 90.  And last Thursday, me and a few linkshell friends did some MMM meriting which was a blast!  I'm hoping to gather them up again sometime so Clave and I can EXP my PLD and his RDM without havign to suffer through normal non-ToAU parties with strangers.  It's a lot more fun with friends!  

Until next time!~

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...)

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! ^_^

Ahoy Captain!

Woo! Got Captain rank the other day~ Did Khimaira last so took a group pic afterward. So now can just spam the crap out of Red vs. Blue to get Assault Points for Salvage.

Then got a pic of Clave in his Goblin costume holding his dagger up to poor Tarus hassling them for their gilz.Aaannndddd shiny dat mod for staves! Makes the world prettier.

Also, I'm 50/70 now for Mjollnir. :P Still can't convince Clave to let me 'borrow' the 19 M. Silvers he's got, hehe. but he doesn't enjoy those jokes anyway :/ Should be done by summer's end at least.. Next rotation for Sponsoring will starts oon and I'll be on San d'Oria so I'll be raking in the bronze faster then.

Current Coin Count

Had to screenshot my currency count to confirm with my LS before they make the sponsoring calendar for next rotation, so I figure I can post it here too!

So I've got 356 Tukuku Whiteshells available to trade for Bronze, so hopefully I can shout in Whitegate and find someone. Clave had some extra Bronze himself so I traded him around 280 shells which was nice and quick. I sponsored a Windy run tonight and got 270 singles and bought the 2 Jadeshells that dropped. I've got two Xarcabard sponsors coming up in a week and a half which'll yield even more crap I need to trade off :P

Other than Dynamis-related stuff, Clave and I continued doing more of the WotG Bastok missions and got our Goblin Belts!.... and I suck and didn't take screenshots while he and I and Rydiah were in Windurst Walls prior to Dynamis all wearing the costumes :P Oh well, another time! But I do have a screenshot from our last Tav Run where we were all in Choco costumes so I'll post that instead :>
And in other news, Macchiato the RMT was banned. Though it seems Kingy, Kylei, and Soe are still around =/ I'll get em banned eventually I suppose....

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

ACP Finished!

Finished the mini expansion A Crystalline Prophecy last night and picked up my nice shiny Royal Redingote! Augmented to suit my WHM melee style~

I haven't had a chance to really use it yet though, but I'll know I'll get a lot of use out of it in all my WS sets.
