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:

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!

Trial of the Magians

Welp! There was a big update on Monday which merged my poor server, Fairy, into Sylph... Which unfortunately cost Clave his name and all variations of it were taken too =/  So after a logn time of mulling over other choices, having been on a huge Eternal Sonata kick the past few months, he decided on Fugue.  Previously people used to sometimes refer to us as Kyave or Claru, combining our names, but now, we are FUKYA!  >:( Yeah! FU Sylph! /sigh.  Hopefully one day he'll be able to get his name or some sort of close variant back ._.  I still always try to type /sea all cla or /pcmd add clave and other such things.  And of course I'll always keep calling him by his rightful name of Clave, and am gonna keep my Wedding Ring engraving of [Clave] as well :B

But anyway, lots of new updates like new summons and weapons and NMs and crap, but the main thing that caught my attention was the Trial of the Magians stuff cuz I could augment my Mjollnir!  So I raaannn over to the moogle and looked at my trials... I had to use Randgrith 1500 times on lizard-type monsters. 1500 Randgriths. omg.  

BUT I WAS DETERMINED!

So last night I went by myself to Kuftal... smashed many many lizards and got about 300 out of the 1500 needed before calling it a night.  Was rather lonely out there by myself with nobody to talk to (well, I was yappin in LS of course :> but still..)

So today Clave and I went to Grauberg to target Wivres -- more resilient than weenie Sand Lizards which I could only get maybe 3 Randgriths off each before killing them.

And so we fought.

And fought. 

And fought.

For nearly half a day straight.

Until yayyyyy!  Did the remaining 1200 Randgriths allll today  with his help @_@  He was doing Marches on Rydiah and pulling and such for me while I constantly bapped the hell outta these stupid things.

And so I brought it back to the Moogle~

And voila!  Mjollnir with DMG: +2!

My next upgrade is another daunting 1500 Randgriths, however... each of them needs to get the kill shot ;_____;  Luckily Clave's 1st trial is on the same mob family as my second one, Beasts, so he can get his first upgrade while I work towards my second!  Because the second upgrade is nothing short of drool-worthy :Q  ....

DMG: +8

 *____*

Here's to more grinding! But sooo worth it for THAT awesome of an upgrade!  Can't wait to see what the next trial(s) will be for relics!  They better be good considering most, if not all, of each of the new weapons added can be augmented to equal or surpass each of their respective relics in damage ratings >:/  Culacula upgraded gets the same 57 base damage of Mjollnir which is bullshit, and one of the Great Katanas can be augmented to have 1 more damage than Amanomurakumo.  So yeah.  They'd better make these additional trials make relic insurpassable and indisputably superior!

Keep on fishin....

Still fishing... well, I took a break for awhile but I'm back at it now.. alone.. in Quicksand Caves... but why would I endure such a oring task, with bites few and far between?

...because the catches are damn worth their weight in skillups!

0.3 at that level!  Sometimes double skillups with Pelican Ring (Got a 0.1 and a 0.2 on the same catch the other day)

So hell yeah I'm staying here, even if I generally get a few catches per hour.

 Meatballs are my standard fare of bait, but I just ran out a few minutes ago and am successfully catching more cave Cherax with a Sinking Minnow until I decide to go back to Windurst and sleep @_@  Which given that it's 5am... should be pretty soon...
