Two updates? IN TWO WEEKS? Holy shit I’m bored. Not sure what I covered in my last update… let me check..JOL.. Cuelebre… WHM AF3…Yilbegan… OK here we go.

I’ve dragged Carste with me to Abyssea – Tahrongi at least 4 times to kill Lachrymater with me, so I can try to get a Witchstone. We killed him ¾ times, the one wipe being a unlucky pull by Carste. Our setup was RDM/WHM and SAM/NIN. I had some decent Gekko’s with the stat bonuses from Abyssea. We dragged Dragonsbane out on our 4th pop to try and get some TH on it, but still no drop. Bastard.

 Look ma! No sword!

One other NM Carste and I have been trying to kill, is Bakka. SAM/NIN RDM/WHM, although alternately we could probably do it just as easily WHM / RDM(or /sch) and SAM/NIN, but we’re usually already geared the other way. We haven’t wiped to this NM yet, because we haven’t been able to claim it… The fucker is never up, and the moment it is up, It gets claimed before we can get there. Someday we’ll get our Goetia Chains…

I’ve spent a couple more hours trying to do quests to get more seals for different gear from Abyssea, but sadly I haven’t been able to get anything. The quests for Abyssea – Vunkerl seem to take forever to do, so I’ll probably just wait until AP does that zone so I can just lot them from NM’s. It seems to be a waste of time doing the quests. Or maybe I’m just doing them wrong. I’ve been doing the 2 quests where they ask you to go to different points on the map and check spots and report back for a reward. I’m about 0/15 on those quests. Maybe my time would be better spend in Abyssea – Misareaux getting all my items from there. I still need my seals for BLM and SAM from there anyway, so I might as well do that. Also, I’m most familiar with that zone and it’s NM’s, so I should be able to team up with some people and get some seals that way.

I was finally able to finish my Shellra 5, and I put another merit into my Burst II. I’ve had WHM75 for 3 years, and it’s been my least merited job for a long time. Total Noob.

Still doing Limbus runs with Dragonsbane, He’s almost got enough to buy his Boxer’s mantle, and I think once he does that, we’ll do another run and I’ll get one also, and toss it in my PDT set for SAM. We average 22-27 coins a run.

Last night was abyssea with AP, Misareaux. Carste got a few RDM seals, and it almost done with his legs. I’ve been bugging Cloudxz (ls leader) to take the ls to kill Ironclad Serverer so that I could get by Goetia Mantle… Well, sadly the LS didn’t, but I did. As we were zoning in as a linkshell, I went to check if it was up, and it was.. but it was being killed, so I got the TOD, and cured one of the people killing it, and left. A minute later I got a /tell from the group leader asking if I wanted to get in on the next kill in a hour, BLM mantle being freelot… YES! A hour and 15minutes later, I got a /tell, and I disbanded AP, and ran to Ironclad. We took it down in 5 minutes, and I lotted a 400~ for the mantle. Ugh, but the other BLM lotted a 46!! WINNRAR. Extremely excited about that. Took 5minutes and changed all my nuking macros on the spot, and then left to finish off the night with AP.

I’ve finally started taking some screenshots again, and I’ve got some good ones to share!

It’s been an eventful week with AP, focusing mainly on Sea. We did some Jailer of Prudence, Jailer of Love, and the other less significant NM’s. We took bids on Novio Earring, and the one other person who would have been able to out-bid me wasn’t online! OH MAN NOVIO FOR ME!

If only it dropped on our 2 separate pops… ugh. Hopefully I’ll have more points than Chocoboits by the time we do JOL again.. that is, if Carste and I don’t lowman it before then!! That’s right bitches, I said it. Lowman, JOL. Stay tuned.

Carste and I killed Cuelebre a few times over the course of a few days to get him his dagger. I think we went 1/3? Either way, I made some decent gil off it. The first kill we did as a duo, the 2nd we had a BLM assist, and the 3rd kill we took Midgetking as THF for some TH on it. So still practically duo’d.

I obtained both my Key Items to lower the timer on my Transverser stones, so now I have 12hr stones! Also, I got they key item to add an additional 3 minutes for every stone I hand in.

Spent a lot of time in Abyssea-Misareaux, by myself and with AP. I got an exp party there, and was able to get 3/5 of my Shellra 5 merits, and later on with AP I was able to get 5/5 merits, which means I only need around 30 merits before SAM WHM BLM are fully merited!

Also, because of all the hype about the new AF3 (I think that’s what it’s called, this is the part where Carste will call me a dumb faggot) I had to put 100% of my play time on Saturday into getting my WHM legs. Well, eventually I was able to get them, but not when I wanted them, which was for the JOL fights we were going to do. I’m the first WHM in AP to get my +1 legs I believe. I’m unsure of what to work on next, probably the WHM head piece since it’s so nice. And after that I’ll do SAM legs.

I really can’t wait to get my hands on all of the SAM pieces, even though the only time I play the job is to kill something lowman style.. All those pieces are so much nicer than what I already have. I had some plans to upgrade my SAM AF legs to +1 to get 5STR for my WS’s, but the new AF3 pieces are so much better!

Essentially, I could go on for pages about how much better the new gear is than what I already have, but I wont.

Here’s some more screenshots.

Cloud and Longarm gonna duel!

 a damn worm that nearly wiped us

Yilb action

Some insane chest drops

 Some nightly NM's

 

So, I know it’s been a while since my last update, but some changes have kept me from posting.


For starters, there is a new girl in my office who I work closely with, and she is a little nosey about what I’m doing on the internet, so I can’t dedicate 30+ minutes to writing and posting updates. Also, I’m being more closely watched by my bosses here, so that’s prohibiting things. And to top it all off, I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows7, so I still don’t have all my stuff organized the way I’d like, and because of it, I keep forgetting to hit that screenshot button. >.>



Here are some minor updates.

WHM85

BLM85

SAM85



Carste joined AbsolutePerfection, and he’s getting lotting rights twice as fast as I did. Fucker.

I’ve got my full HP pushdown set for my Sorcerer’s ring, and am constantly getting yelled at for using it, and constantly dying from mega-aoe moves from NM’s because of it.

We compelted all the WOTG stuff up-to-date and we’ve gotten our rings! Also, I got this earring while doing VNM’s with AP.



I’ve been after it for a long ass time, but it still doesn’t help my gimp ass dark magic build.

I got the new STR12 helm for SAM, but it still doesn’t help the fact that I’ve only got 2STR on my legs slot for my YGK.

I’m about half done with my STR ATK GK for SAM, while Carste is about ¾.



Fought a couple Yilbegen’s, and a Turul or two. Turul is the worst NM I’ve ever had to WHM for in my career. Listen to me whine for a second. He has knockback moves and hate reset, which means that everyone is getting thrown all over the place all the time, so I’m constantly running to cure someone, sometimes over 40 yalms! K I’m done.



WHM is getting “Boost Stat” spells now, Can’t wait for STR and INT. I was really excited when I started thinking WHM/SCH will get Firestorm, and that when SCH gives me firestorm it grants additional STR, and I thought I’d be able to do Firestorm and Boost STR, but it’s a sch merit JA. Fuckers.



Started my Thunder staff trials last week, and thunder weather is avoiding me like the plague. It’s going to be a long road before I get to my final staff.

Got my Cure Potency +3% cape off Marvin, with the help of a faggot named Steve.



Haven’t had the pleasure of harassing Hesper within the last week or two. Makes me sad.



I’ve been duoing limbus with Dragonsbane to help him farm ABC’s. So far, we’ve had 2/3 succesful runs. Last run we wiped pretty hard on the third floor because we weren’t paying attention.



I’ve still got plenty of work to do to maximize my jobs. I finally found a reason to finish the Nation missions, which I never bothered to do, and that reason is Abyssea abyssites. I’m going to be busy as fuck for quite some time..

Ok, so I’m finally updating this thing. Some stuff has changed at work and I can’t really do it as often as when I started out, but whatever, I have 4 readers. I’m going to try to make this go in order, but I’ll probably do some skipping around..


Got to help my pal Wakmidget with some of his magian trials.

Last week with AbsolutePerfection, was SCNM’s, which I had never really done before, so I had fun.

We got a couple drops from the NM’s that went freelot, and didn’t have awesome drops from the SCNM, but we did get a couple things, and I got to use my new Sorcerer’s Gloves which are awesome for adding magic burst damage, especially when grouped with the new Samurai ability which boost Magic Burst damage or something…

Did I mention I got those in Dynamis-Windurst? Maybe? Well I did. Ok, moving on…

I had my last run with the WeHeartCaulk linkshell. I always enjoyed Limbus, but lately it’s seemed more of a chore to make the run times than it’s worth. I’ll always love you Nere  <3

Got to do SAM in an Abyssea party with AP. Turns out that my SAM isn’t as terrible as I thought it was. Also was able to get my buttbuddy Carste a spot in the alliance, and he was able to cap merits and RDM exp at level 80.

Also got my SAM to 80 and was able to use the new Perle feet with the 5STR, they’re sexy. Also picked up the Perle Hauberk to WS in, for the added STR. I want to get my hands on some H. Haidate for the STR10, since I’m only WSing in 2STR on my legs (lolgimp), but they’re 15-20mil, and even if I did get them off Sarameya, It would be more beneficial to sell them off and use the gil for other upgrades.

While I’m talking about my SAM, for my few readers who SAM Polearm (Or just DRG), for Penta Thrust, should I stack STR or DEX, or should I be trying to get a equal number of both? My Penta Thrust damage is all over the place, from 1600 to 450, so some tips would be greatly appreciated.



Helped that buttbuddy of mine with some of his trials. He finally finished his Thunder staff, and is working on his Ice. I know I’m trailing behind big time on the magian trial stuff, especially since I haven’t even started on the ice and thunder trials and my Cure staff isn’t even close to being done.

Carste and I did start on our GK trials, working towards this:

We weren’t really having much luck with our first trial, but we did get a couple kills before we killed ourselves of boredom. Luckily the next trial should be easy since it’s only 25 mobs.

Helped Wakmidget and Deadbeet kill an NM in Abyssea that drops this beauty:

I instantly wanted it. Luckily Carste needs whatever it is that this NM drops for a trial, and he’ll be killing it a lot, and I can snag myself a cape while we kill it for his trial… Just need to get WHM80, it’s sitting at 77 right now.

Did 2 KClub runs, one of which I died on around 50%. My first death in this BCNM. Luckily carste was able to save the run, and not get the drop
I was finally able to get myself a Winterstone, to complete my Genbu pop set, and I grabbed Carste and Hesper and we took off for sky in order for me to get my Zenith Mitts. Sadly, the fight lasted about half as long as I would have liked it to, but it was fun. I got my Zenith Mitts, Carste’s Genbu Shield didn’t drop, and we got to make Hesper feel uncomfortable. Win Win.

I quickly un-cursed the mitts, and realized that I was pretty close to getting the amount of Hp- gear I needed to self-proc my Sorcerer’s Ring, and luckily I had the abjuration for Zenith Slacks, so I shelled out the 500k and uncursed those as well and finally reached my goal. Now that I have the macro.. I have to decide if I want to gimp my sublimation for WHM/SCH to get an extra 10% cure potency from the Medicine Ring..

My WOTG mission static has 1 last run, and we’ll be done with all 3 cities and have all the rewards!! Excitttting,.
Haven’t made the switch yet, but I can’t decide which piece to ditch my AF hat for… Teal or Hecate’s crown.. I think I’ll have better returns with the Teal, and it’s a lot cheaper. Although it makes me sad to lose 30MP, but I figured I could afford it since I got the Zenith Mitts.. even though Teal hat is so fucking ugly.

Was in sea trying to farm up some organs on BLM so I could get my thunder obi and my gorget for SAM, when I ran into Begsta who was also organ farming, so I decided to forgo what I needed and assist him since I don’t get to play with him that often. We went inside to the Aern’s and killed for about a hour before he got his 4 organs, and while I was there I did some testing with my Weskit (INT+4 Augment) against the new Teal body on some Aern’s while I was helping Begsta farm some organs. Weskit beat out Teal 20/20 times. In fact, while nuking in Teal, I resisted 8/20, while having a 0/20 resist rate on Weskit.. Also Weskit is nicer to look at.


Dynamis Bastok last night was a great success. We killed the boss and farmed up until the last minute. We ended with some 300+ coins and not a bad number of relic drops. Sadly, no 100c. Next week is Xarcarbard!!
I still have quite a lot of work to do for my subjobs. SAM80/NIN37 looks horrible, so I’ve gotta fix that soon. Also I need to snag the last level for my SCH to get it to 40….

Can’t think of anything else to write..
Oh yeah, Carste got me  killed a bunch trying to kill this thing.

Fin.
