short day, but i'm 1/4 on Obow finally! and trueflight is fun with it. got 2 phubao organs by accident and limbus was a failure but nice day. im still getting used to my sky ls as i forgot that they start same time as limbus and i forgot to go to byakko tonight (sorry people) no clue if they did byakko but all the lists are short so if there were any drops i should be up next for them. nothing more to report :3 yay!

oh almost forgot (is a ditzy day) charbydis is my next target nm, ill be waiting for your help guys :D and if you want tod i can get you that too.

you make me complete....

.....completely miserable.

gustav tunnel sucks ass, 0/2 on Obow, but got trueflight. recapped rng but had to hp then geet R1 so im back to where i started, 3 merits saved, 1 more for -enmity cap..

pic's recieving attention.. mabe my artistic talent wont be forgotten completely.. hearing nyzul might be canceled isnt good news either... i have too wait atleast a month or two for next homam part(s) but we got all the possible trash items out of the way, now hands/head are freelot.

helping the community

so the other night before the power went out, i was trying to come up with which weapon skill gorget's i should get. here's how it was broken down.


DRG (main light/flame)

skewer (thunder)
wheeling (light/flame)
drakesbane (light/flame)
retribution (shadow/aqua/soil)
full swing (thunder/flame)

SAM (main snow)

yukikaze (snow/breeze)
gekko (snow/aqua)
kasha (light/flame)
rana (shadow/snow/soil)

RNG (main light)

sidewinder (light/breeze/aqua)
arching (light/flame)
empyreal (light/flame)
trueflight (thunder/breeze/soil)
namas (snow/aqua)

BLU (main soil)

vorpal (thunder/soil)
savage (thunder/breeze/soil)
expaciation (snow/aqua/soil)
black halo (breeze)

RDM (no main snow/soil)

death blossom (thunder/snow/breeze/aqua)
evisceration (soil)

those are the weapon skills i use the most for each job. next is the gorget that each applies too. the idea is that i can get as many weaponskills as possible on as few gorgets as i can to save room.


end result:

light
snow
soil

with those three im only excluding black halo, full swing, and skewer. that is a pretty good amount of weapon skills for three spots.

also: merit calculator (requires excel or open office etc)

star power

welcome to the second shot of my jobs lol, ive edited them this time around to corispond with my blog, so here goes!

how to lose friends and alienate people.

its nice to be able to say things that wont effect your in-game performance, as such i am happy to announce im no longer a member of versus. theyve been very kind but anyone who knows me knows that i dont really follow the same paths. personally, i like to finish one thing at a time, thee leadership with versus, decided to be more efficient and do everything at once. while i applaude their efforts, its just not me.

while they did do some stuff i wanted to do recently (wotg nms) and helped me get some gear (beast slayer etc) i thank the ls for that. but the same reason i sucked at highschool is the same reason i dont fit with that ls. i do things different. not a bad thing, can be a good thing, but im not a person hoo is easily rushed into long term commitments.

so in other news, im back on the ls market. i like hopping ls's and it helps me meet new people. so far shutupanddance has been a wonderful experience. its great to spend time with old ls members (fishura/kitsume/akanea) i think most were in explorer 2 (rip) and last night xerxes offered me a spot in a new sea ls that operates after midnight est. my friend sebion runs a sky ls, only 18 ppl strong, and my nyzul static also does salvage and znm.

with that said, the only thing left is stronghold nms in wotg zones. if you look at it, versus did almost all of that and einherjar. all in one ls all scheduelled out very neat and tidily, and that works for some people. just not me.

switching subjects.. Darkdawn needs more hugs! come on people D:
worst ingame month ever, he needs some support. my eek started off cursed when fisura lost the smalt chip for limbus and that set off a chain reaction where me and dark both lost big ticket iitems. we got a new chip thursday so the issue should be over. ubt still dark is having computer problems that cost him a scouts jerkin...

i guess thats all the bad news i can post for now, i have some new modling pics to put up, so if you want me too make something for your blog/site whatever just give me a gearset (ffxiah works) and ill come up with some poses that match you or that job!

<3 :3

beutimus

so happy my screenshots turned out earlier, i had fun today photographing my new look, and all my jobs have profiles now! take a look.


BLU


DRG


RNG


RDM


SAM


Had lots of fun in altanaview lol, these will soon be linked too so people have a refernce when i talk about gear :3

new and hopefully improved

its amazing! finally a screen shot'd post! its not that i dont take SS's, i just rarely upload them, and.. usually miss the correct moment.. or get too lazy to crop them.. or.... ok i dont take many screenshots lol. but today is important. today i finally changed my face (again)

and thew new me issss.......

Haja zhwan! minus the leapord spots (or whatever they want to call them)


any way, hopefully life will be brighter lol, versus attendance is sadly low, so we are unable to do the high attendance events we'd like too. umm, i joined a sucessful nyzul static, applying to shutupanddance here shortly, and dynamis has been... well.... um... dissapointing to say the least.
other than that, since we're doing scnm's in endgame, i should be able to grab zha'gho's barbut. which to me is one of the absolute best rng pieces bar none. actually, i dont beliieve it has any challengers as a head piece for anything better. thankyou SE for putting in something new for all rng and cor to drool over. other than that, gnabohd's helm, which is prettymuch a free wyveren helm+1 .... and 4 dex, some attack. the new best ws head for any job that cant use or wont get N.head.

and when i've become drun withpower, youll see me walking arround with this face...


lol but in all seriousness i truly hope to get these projects done swiftly. with my other project being those pesky 340 + merits i need to complete to not feel completely overpowered by everyone else and be a weak link in the DD chain.

if your interested in my goals (mabe they'll help you decide on som your not sure of?) my FFXI auction house gear sets and profile are right over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
incase theres any help needed, or for curious people <.< anyway, im sure theres more i didnt mention, but thats all for now.

also, if you see darkdawn, give him lots annd lots of hugs and love, he's been needing it lately :)

(still havent figured out how to add spoilers here, will work on that)

finally

saotome kabuto mine! this makes my first 5/5 set. i was hhoping that i'd get wyrm armet, but that will have to wait till next week. hurray! i can finally store my saotome set :D ~~ more later.

Still alive

it's been awhile, not much has happened due to real life complications and not being able too log in >.> i was going to make a pos about how idiots annoy me, and embarrassing gear choices (que bastok ring at lvl 70) but ill save that for its on section as i come across them. let's see, well i finally started going to sea, and as soon as i get some more gear or finish rng, ill be starting limbus, the new price drop is making attending more realistic to me. my playtime has however almost completely shifted to event only. severely cutting down on hours of afk or doing nothing in town while waiting for someone to ask for help.

no, im now focused on campaigning rng and getting it 75 before i start the long relic road.

my other focus is finding a competent nyzul group so i can finally get askar, which would allow me to play sam again (finally.) my main goal for tp body on sam is the askar korazin, over the haubergeon+1. i assume there are other people like me but the general concensus disagree's with my views. after playing for over a year in the haub+1 it got quite ugly and boring. the agi and eva- also hurt alot since i tend to take hate for no reason quite a bit. so when i see this (semi) new item come along it seems like an answered prayer. it suffers a hit rate decrease but in turn provides more surviveability. besides the fact that i'm one of those people who'd rather look good for slightly less performance than look horrible for great stats.

this is the road ive tried to take as much as posible from day one. so in sea i was alittle taken back when i saw one of the new sam's looking for a haub+1, then showing up in an enkidu's harness... (brand new alternative to the haub.) over the course of the daay i witnessed her use an NQ haub, askar korazin and enkidu's harness, which brought me to question why someone would spend 2.7 million more for slightly better accuracy than they already have? some people have a good way to make money i guess, but when you have every FREE alternative, is it really worth it? apparently so to some.

i know for a fact rarity drives price, but the rediculous price's boggle me when everywhere i turn someone has these expensive items. weapons are a prime example. i'm currently in the market for a hagun and kriegsbiel. both come from small events, both have low drop rates, both are two-three times the price of every other weapon their respective jobs can equip (sam,rng) yet every person who knows what their doing will spend what seems like a life savings to buy these items. its slightly astounding to me, the limits of what people are willing to do for an uncommon, (not rare, uncommon) item in this crazy fantasy world.

alive

two weeks no internet, still getting the hang of getting back. still no money from joeofalltrades, who sold our cassie earring and we trusted to split the money. i mean, 75k is a chunk that we all helped to get. and that earring went for 540k... i'll find him and get my cut i swear.

on to other subjects, i missed a couple dynamis xarc's which apparently dropped sam heads, but not wyrm, i still need both so we'll see. no news on missed byakko's but i missed a tp burn kirin which dropped everything>.> not much i could do there. dark got his homam corzzaza, which was apparently a miracle. and today, recieved his new suppanomimi. all in all, most people doing fine.

windower 3,4 is out, with a new screenshot method, so now i can actually find what i capture, because its soo hard keeping people reading when its just walls of text followed by a line break. i guess in 10 days i can start doing events again, not that i dont mind having free time to spend on leveling or irl things, or homework, i just want to be rid of the feeling "oh i could be missing my drop" which is a real crappy feeling to constantly be worrying about.


we'll see what else comes along when i get back to full time playin

small update

finally after a week in fei'yin vali's dropped, rng has been sitting at 55 waiting for it. dark is on the way to becoming a top tiered drg if we can get his gear swaps down. aka is going from previously greatest gear to new greatest.. if that makes sense, tuuf loaned me the rest of the beast coins i needed so now i have to duo with him, which i don't mind, but at least i have brutal.

killed capricious cassie and got full drop, now waiting for the split gil to come in. need to do more enms for hagun and the like. and also assaults for my perdu rank.

long day

4pops
1 claim on shadow
1 drop that wasnt mine.....
i hate solo nm camping.
i start again tomorrow after dyn
this starts to become disheartening
spend all this time to watch someone else get it
i'm not sure i want to camp xoltol now
i think i'll drink till i cant stand right
water is good like that

pretender

well its been awhile, i still eed to mention the loldrg i saw but thats for another day. i can say, my keyboard is even more messed up after cleaning it. im writing this as im camping Vbow, since not much else to do inbetween the 16 minute pops. my rng went on a magical ride and went from 37 to 52 in record time. the time between 37 and 5/5 af is great cause rng will be my LAST 75. no more. as such, i decided to take a break for the legendary Vbow. i could borrow darks, but i borrow enough already and would end up camping this anyway.

so thats that out of the way, blu is 70 ith most all sea spells and im 1/2 a rank away from perdu hanger, but ill be missing assaults for Vbow.

camping Vbow ive finally pulled sam out of storage. once i get it, its going right back in lol, its not ready for events yet, i still need hagun in order to be on par. in the mean time, drg has an
d will continue to do most of the work until sam is geared or blu hits 75. andd i feel blu may quickly be replaced by rng, mainly in events and such. i believe most would rather have a puller/kiter than a soloer. pics later when i claim Eshadow:)

/think

here are my current 3 projects, i'm working on them from the bottom up.

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2563/auronswdqn3.png

gswds for mithra, no word yet on completion. lso, i've mde it with some assistance to CoP 8-3. no clue when i'll get my ring. lastly, soon i shall be taking a break from the game to focus on IRL. most likely after the next set of classes (47 days) i will most likely be online some, but wont be participating in any events. hopefully i will be able to concentrate on the real issues at hand. i thank everyone for their support.

i would also like to thank mooshywooshy for assisting me in creating these swords, and to everyone else who may be assisting me in the future.

ps, (FU VRS/Metaseqoia)

....

it takes a very random person to understand this.

yes this ones for you shel<3

lucky me!

i have no idea why "girlfriend in a coma" is playing in my head. ANYWAY its been a productive time since my last real post. in that time ive developed a love of logging, aquiered my kyudogi, and almost completed sam/rng. i had the thalassocrat made so i now have a PERMANENT lance for my drg. if you notice the side you'll see alot of gear has been taken off the wall. (they dropped)

i spent some time helping others due to my encounter last cop mission, so now both me and dark have loxely bows (ty deyon) i spent days logging up omo's log for her thalassocrat, (upgrading relic and she didnt have her own, gotta fix that). sadly, while i was out in the real world working, N hands dropped off byakko, i' sill upset that i missed them. its been OVER a YEAR since ive had the cursed gloves sitting in my mog, waiting. hopefully they will drop again soon.

ive had my luck in dynamis as well, sadly not much luck in versus. i did my first salvage run last week, i also ranked up in assault. (t5) and am close to the next rank. today we appraised jagdb's gorget and i somehow beat omo by 2 points, so now i can sell my rangers necklace because i have basically a +1. this is another piece i can use for my endgame rng. infact, it will last mee till hope torque, i believe nothing else has ratk+6 in the neck slot. so far i hve rings completedm, earrings mostly, done (for rng) hand back body head all done. trul i am only missing feet, a main weapon (kriegs/vulcan) and a new ranged weapon at 55.

i also had my best merit party to date, we got one chain 77 and a chain 6 before i had to leave. (they got 15k after that.) so me and dark did photoshoots all over, commemerating our one yr aniv. i still didnt get him the signed ring but i will soon. theres just so much its overwhehlming. i hope this luck holds. oh yeah, 8 teak logs(20k ea) and a jacaranda(200k) in a row! PS mezraq is dead lol.

pps, lolpup is dead too.

posted from my friends laptop (cause they have sound)
my current favorite song because, monday is mine and dark's 1 yr anniversary. this is for you dear :)

(yes we got married on st.patricks day)

/hopes

spent all night farming seepskin for my new designer purse :D (you know you want one) after i got all 6 drops (3 per purse) i got lost in oldton movapolos, so i did what anyperson would do. i went afk and caught up on 2007-2008 story of ctrl+alt+del. cutest comic, and i see alot of myself in lilah. i stopped reading it awhile ago so there was alot to catch up on... still havent read 2006 >.>

<3 you chef brian! anyway, im compiling all my drops ive recieved recently into one big image. it shall be purdy!




(i'll edit it in down here wen its ready)

/bow

if anyone is a loyal reader. i appologiz. theres been tons to update since my last post but nothing really worthwhile. ive been catchig up on irl stuff while rideng a wave of unquestionable luck in game. once i have all my screenshots organized i'll let you guys in on the massive amounts of obtained items. till then, i will let ring and dark tell you about whats been going on, since they seem to mirror my day anyway.

also, once i get a working scanner i'll show off some of my recent works. (yes this is for you el')

it speaks for itself

24 housr... pld 32. dark got bq ring. lifes good.

THE PURIFICATION MUST BEGIN! ~ Laisavie X Berlends

the will of altana through the eyes of a crazed elvaan has spoken.

didnt do much today, an ENM with xerxes got me.. nothing lol, we won, it was quite easy. but he was missinformed as to the drops. we got 3k xp as a reward but i was set to normal exp and i had just died so i didnt see about 2k of it. oh well.

i'd like to welcome our newest member to our community, Glacian. our resident sam of sam's. i'm sure we'll here some interesting stories from the great katana king.
As for the bow queen here, the gear has been updated. if you missed the kyu stats, they will be back up soon (signed) once i attain gear it will dissapear from the sidebar and most likely be replaced till im done with that event in game.

i realized today that while i have a cerberus hide, the synth calls for leather. so i need a 100 tanner to switch that for me, if you know one, please leave a comment here or let me know in game, i'll be asking around anyway :)

i spent the later part of my day perusing the auction house seeing what there was to buy, or more appropriately, save for. this being my page to keep track as well as detail my escapades, i decided i'll just put these into a list here. i have enough side bars so this will be a rare list post.

so lets start with sam:
arhats gi+1 600k~
Shigeto +1 -500k
Alkyoneus bracers 750k
flame ring 400k

Ranger:
vulcans staff 400k
War aketon set ???
Kriegsbiel 500k

Dragoon:
taraque mits (+1) 180k~
primate staff 40k

and i believe thats it.
as you can see, samurai has absorbed the non job specific items cause, well... its based on str.
depending on feedback from the rng commnity i will decide weather or not to sell my pallas when blu hits 70. but for now they stay. rng gear may change, it all depends on what items i lend from sources. i decided against buying a hagun and im sticking too that, it will be farmed until the price drops. even then i dont believe getting it outweighs the four to 6 pieces i could get for 2M. besides the fact that i have a relic bow to save for.

in unrelated news, it seems en evil ringthree has surfaced. there have been many dopplegangers in the past and very few have been sucessful. some are worried that an evil version of them may turn up, and its possible. if your worried an evil clone of me will show up and try to replace me dont worry, because i am the evil one. or atleast the one who would win.

like alucard to dracula it'd be pretty obviouse if rosE showed up and talking funny. just remember, i'm the one who eviscerates people that annoy me and torture not-so-innocent taru's. my opposite would probably be a whm/smn who keeps carby out 100% and melee's with the af weapon wearing blessed. my 'replacement' wouldn't stand a chance. besides, who wants to be that good anyway? as the opposite of LoD Rose i will gladly accept any 1-1 challenges >:) very few live after witnessing THE POWER OF A TRUE DRAGOON!

The purification must begin... will you join us?

Well thought out twinkles

there has been a lack of pictures recently, and that is due to the fact that A) i forget, B) windower's Ss mode causes severe lag and a general freeze when saving the file. just yesterday i found out that windower 3.4 will address that issue so expect to see new photos then on a regular basis.

today, we delve deeper into my psyche.


first, BLU. this job is hard for me. not because its hard to play, its quite fun, but the goals don't seem interesting gear wise, so i'm unsure where to take it. its a strait mp using DD. nothing fancy, so new weapons aren't as appealing. and i don't want to take time from completing other jobs gear sets for blu, i will go after the new spells, but the gear setup for each spell is not worth the effort.

RDM, quite frankly.. im sick of it. even though i have no direction for blu i'd much rather play with no direction than be bored and chastised. let me make this PERFECTLY clear. i did not level rdm because i enjoyed it. i leveled rdm to get the duelists tabard on a mannequine. i dont intend fully meriting it, and the only reason i play it as mch as i do is because i'd rather die on it than sam or drg. I am not a "back-line job"~er, once blu is of elligabl level you will most likely not see my rdm at all. till that time i wil continue to work on my rdm/pld setup and level /drk because all subs need to be 37.

DRG. like blu, im reaching the end of the gear spectrum and nothing exciting is leaping out at me. once hecatomb is complete and merits done, it wont be seen much. until they release something new, unlike blu however, i have a few gear goals for it. i took off homam from my list and replaced it with askar. limbus is very structured and i honestly dont have time for much of i. so if i come upon the chance to lot homam legs i will, other than that limbus wiill only be for attaining a select few pieces of AF+1 and funding Yoichi /nyzul relic. dyn/sky are really the finall stretches of my drg though.

SAM, the reason i will continue too be on this game. it can get stale looking at haub, but mostly its doing the sub par damage that makes sam boring. i wont play it till all gear and merits are worked out, that means 5/5 str 8/8 gkt osode hagun possibly usukane or byakko legs. 80% of my gear goals are for sam. it still remains to be seen weather i'll decide to start the nyzul relics or not. either gkt or bow depends on what the weapon skills look like.

RNG
the main reason im leveling ranger is because its fun and when sam and drg are done, i'll have 90% of all the gear i'll ever need save V.bow/Obow/Kriegsbiel. its also wanted mre than sam in endgame events, but i wont need to do sky with it, only dynamis.


Another issue i have with sam is people brining down the name, as with drg. not everyone wants to be an addict, but if you a growing group of people dont play to their full potential or atleast learn what the jobs main focus is, please go to a less complicated job as your main. i'm not discouraging people from playing or having fun, but i take pride in what i do and so do many other people.
i know 85% of us are on limited funds time and gil wise, but that doesnt exclude you from learning how to make yourself the best fitted for every situation. one person can easily reduce everyones chance of being completely efficient. everyone i know (including me) has been guilty of this at least once. we've learned from trial and error what and what not to do, and are more than willing to share our knowledge with anyone who has the courage to ask.
the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" doesn't always apply. some things are broken but people ignore the fact thinking they are correct, and when someone tries to correct them they become offensive. thus making an argument or possibly slowing a group down just out of reach of a goal, which makes everyone annoyed that they must repeat which makes everyone spend more time than we had too. just remember, this game is based on community. without that we may as well be WoW.

*semi related song title*

well, if you read my other friends entries, yesterday dark surprised me by buying the cerberus hide on AH that i had a breakdown over. so, i did the only thing any self repecting cat would do. i picked up my personal coppy of omoikitte dex~2008 and flipped to the crafter section. scrolling through the names of crafters we came upon majour. CC99.1 gold/leather 60 most all CC+ items and willing to sign my mini relic Kyudogi. so to many peoples disapointment, it will be crafted most likely early next week.

yesterday we had a perfect dynamis beau run. nin rdm mnk drk blm all dropped which is literally unheard of. after words we had a nice blu/brd party and got 1/2 way to 64... ill comment on this later

shan asked ls if we wanted to merit or skill, we decided skill so we went to our usual spot.
somewhere along the line we pulled two crabs, and dark being valient, died to save us (i think) anyway, no body would help us raise so i warped, got drg/whm and came back, shan had decided to log so it was just us in the tree. i get a /t from aka that he was next to the treasure chest in ordelles caves. so i imediately teled and rushed to my mog to get my key, then tele-holla'd off to the caves. most people would have stayed and skilled up, but im not most. i've had this quest open for 2-3 years so if i can finish it, i will lol. i get there and run arround to find where aka was (with no map) when i arrive, the chest was gone, but his rse sachet ??? was there, so we pop it and it drops 1/1 (from my help) searching the caves we eventually find the chest, i get my key item, we tele out. all the time dark was doing his blm AF quest for AF+1

we get back to the tree and dark finally caps great sword. we ran into asai in boyahada, and he let dark use his mercurial sword, so he was hitting about 10 times faser with the low delay and triple hit proc. unknown to us, he was tanking on paladin perfectly well, as any paladin in a merit party would do, while he was asleep O_o thats truly amazing lol eyes closed, monitoring health when to dance etc. celeste kept him pretty well healed and spirit taker replaced the need for refresh or me healing, so we went non stop till dark woke up, realized he had capped, and needed to go get ready for DM so he can finally get a shiny new suppanomimi. 5:00 am, we disbanded and im ready to skip the rest of the day.. which i have.

sad panda

if you dont know by now, ivee been in a very bad state recently. losing lots is part of life, but impatience is killing me. i recently attained a yoichi's sash from sayane, who placed it on auction house for 2,500,000 which in my desperation... i purchased out of my 3M that i had been storing to pay for sash AND cerberus hide. tonight, while perusing FFXIAH.com it came to my attention that a cerberus hide was on sale. i quickly muled and unsucesfully tried to snatch it up. omo was even kind enough to loan me 1,000,000 which i am whole heartedly greatful for. even at 2.2million i was unable to purchase the hide. ( at which point i returned the loan in full)

looking back at the website i noticed another sash on sale... accepting fate that it was probably going for 1.5M like every other sash had, except the one i had been coned into do too my own impatience, i have slumped back into the long wait to get my kyudogi. the week has been full of ups and downs, we won dynamis=qufim. i lost lot on N.hands to elfaria (congrats) the one item in sky ive been after for 3 years and i lot 55... hopefully they drop again soon. i wish i was a good sport about things but i'm a cynic, and i believe my karma has been, ok. so on that note, why does my luck online suck like this?

i have alot of things i want to accomplish but each seemingly takes 6 months to a year to complete.. anyway, if you hadn't noticed I've updated my gear goals to their max potential. if your interested in what i'm after scroll down, I'd organize them better but idk how yet, so they're on the side bar.

also, I've quickly become lay as not every day is worth writing about, so possibly one to two entry's per week, time will tell.

vivaceous valentine victory

Ive had many gifts on this day in years past, but never a dedication. i'd truly like to thank dark for a wonderful 4:am surprise :) love you dear.

*ques taru panic motion

omg omg omg lol today was an odd day.

so i got up early to do dynamis-xarcabard today... i'm with starComa, they're 90% german.
i'm not anywhere near germany. Infact i'm almost on the complete opposite side of the world
(see also: Seattle,WA) thats about,ooh 9-10 hourdifference depending what side of germany they're in. so anyway, the easy going time for them of about 7-8 PM for when they start dynamis, is exactly 10:00 AM for me. ya lol, most of you will think "well thats not too bad, i get up at 6 every day" the problem is not how early it is, on the contrary. sCa starts at 10:00 on wed. thats also the time i get my first 3 hour D/c of the day. so as sooon as the clock strikes the hour, my connection goes to 0. this is leading me to the belief that i may have to switch shells just to go to dyn :/

so, i sent a msg that i wouldnt be on for dyn, cause my PoS connection wouldnt cooperate, thus i missed another dynamis for now a combined total of -16 possible points because of my stupid connection. please,would someone see wth comcast is up to? anyway, enough of the boring stuff
we have a good news story today!

when i got back after dynamis, i went to boyahada with dark to skill up,and guess what!? second skillup party and my sword broke! after dark hit 240 on gswd (we later leaned he needed 250 poor kitty;_;) i headed to Wg and shouted for people to help with savage blade. if you dont know me, or havent gathered by now... i'm not your typical chick. i like flashy things and getting stuff done the first time, i dont like math but i love big numbers. in short: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE _-<<(OVERKILL)>>-_ so instead of the 4 people it takes to get to this nm, i shouted in whitegate and asked ls for help. we could have won with 4 rdm/nin (bleh.) so from shooouts i procured myself+darkdawn, our lovely rowanne and jazira. the multi talented akanea, and two others who needed the nm. totaling,
DRG/SAM (me)
PLD/NIN(dark)
WHM/BLM(row)
WAR/NIN(jaz)
SAM/WAR(aka)
BLM/WHM(tresbien)
RDM/NIN(***z)

you may be asking, why is the rdm blanked out? the answer, it was laughable, trying to help the poor guy out, but my mind kept asking wtf? it all stemmed from our first conversation.

(rdm in sandy)
me) *** do you have OP?
***) no
me) do you have whm so we can pick you up?
***) no
me) /whm?
***) no i lvld RDM as a tank.

Will someone please tell me how you do that? he came rdm/nin so i can only assume thats his tank setup.. in which i lol'd pretty hard because its nearly impossible to tank againt semi competent DD's without provoke, alot of mp to spam cures, SATA flash, a hate generating ws or job ability or high DoT. NON of which rdm/nin has. great for soloing, or kiting, or being TA'd onto. but your not going to keep hate as rdm/nin enough to truly tank. i'm sorry. i did learn however that rdm can use rutters. i may have to use that air tank >.>

anyway after some confusion and explaining how to get to the columns, we had a fun smooth fight and 3 people can now enjoy savage blade. (yay)
dark hasnt been feeling too well so we sent him to bed, and i activated the evisceration quest ._.
so while we're getting dark his next 10 levels to finish great sword (-_-) i'll be finishing up evisceration trial.

so once i finished my day to come here, i visited rings blog as i often do to see what went on in CiB and versus when i couldn't make it. (btw ring/jess and aka are the reason this one is here, thank you and you're welcome guys<3) as i was scrolling through his post, after his long rantings he noted that Omo had finally updated the Versus site.
In hopes that it was complete i hopped over on his link and noticed a few minute changes. the title had changed. the rules section was complete, nothing major. headed to the forums. the once bland PhpBB default are now a beautiful satin blue and really look wonderful. but no new posts anywhere. so i headed back to the main page and what should i find...

Yes me dark and crlmson have been added to the blog section ._. so my quaint group of readers (dark/aka/shel<3) has been expanded to the whole LS O: (/waves) so any frequent visitors of the VS home page now know where i am! I can feel the love spreading :) so all of you new people, welcome! leave comments, i believe the form is open. sugestions, requests, complaints on the pinkness all our welcome, just don't get angry if celeste gets in the way.

the return of the artist

no internet again (surprise) so today was spent relearning how to mod! i fixed a couple of reeaally old projects that were broken, and they turned out semi decent. if anyone wants them (lol) lemee know. they aernt anything special, but its a stepping stone towards getting my dream projects done.

i'll be learning to HQ my mods next so keep watching cause something hawt might come along!

loots of stuff

as you may have noticed, there haven't been many updates, but today! today is different! many new side-bars further breaking down my goals. missions,gear and merits were so big that they each got their own section, as well as how my gil will be saved/spent in the future.

last few days have been quite hectic. my connection continues to fail me, even when i try in the middle of the night, no go.

had some good merit parties, got 2/3 overwhelm. and 2.3/5 to lvl 3 at the moment.
attained 240 on sword and 230 on dagger with dark and activated savage blade quest. evisceration will be next if i ever finish this. most likely skill shield in the boyahada tree solo trying to break latent. its going to be a very long road for that. but should be paved with gil, considering just received 13k from a coffer(which was spent on a RR earring.. i need another 10k >.>) anyway, that was the start to a good day. so i had decided to bite the bullet and finally shout for Cop help. and after 3 or so hours, finally got a group together.

we kept trying and failing the BC until finally people started leaving. after 2hrs had been spent our BLM was asleep, our RDM went to bed, and we broke off to help a friend with an NM she's been camping. at the time, somehow i amassed enough people to go for another atempt at the BC fight, but in my typical fasion, my connection died for the rest of the night and half of the day today. so, this recap of current events was brought to you by Comcast and their amazingly annoying service to which, we may receive TV service, but not internet :\

all apologies

about the ruiner post, im sorry to those who read that. i removed the personal remarks
they were un-nesecarry and out of context. they also have no place on here, which i didn't realize was so public. i hope i can mend the bridges that post set aflame. if those who were hurt want to talk to me sooner, please contact me in game.

<3 you all, sorry for hurting any of my readers. we all make mistakes, i'll just make sure to be more careful when posting.

ruiner

going more in depth, i really need a break, from everyone. if two people spend too much time together, they begin to drift apart. i think thats whats happening to me.

looking back and forth, i realize that i play to meet goals, thats all everything is to me. a goal to be the best (job/sub-job) i can be. drg is close, sam is a ways off, blu and rng are ways off, but after that, theres nothing left.
merits done, gear done, whats left besides exploring places ive already been?
i desperately want to be done with everything. if i could i'd be done today. nothing would be there to bind me.

instead im stuck in a rat race with 500,000 other people doing stuff we dont want for other people until by pure chance its our turn. looking at real life, its the same. e get a job, we make money, spend it on living expenses, waste rsources. for what? so we can go home and entertain ourselves... i'm thinking, and getting depressed because nothings out there in the long run, and nothings in here either.

odd week

here is the mod i have for rdm gear

nothin doing much. yesterday i finally cashed in my merits (hello 5/5 sTP) today i recieved my campaign rank up (level 6) and bought a shiny sentinels shield. also finaly got a staff strap for rdm. no word from CoP/sky ls.. oh well, if its meant to be, it'll come in time i guess. i should probly shout tomorrow. hopefully i get swift belt.

my sexy new shield

sloow day in the neighborhood

short day today, had to go shopping w/ mom so i got home just in time to do the last assault and some campaign. Xerxes wanted to kiill n nm but we needed like 20 people to kill it so no go. instead we camped the orc king again hoping for a ToD. got some skillups (249 enfeebling 27 from cap) but otherwise not much going on. moms kinda cranky so hittin the sac early, sky tomorrow.. we'll see how that goes..

(lyrics)
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.


I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a pyre.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm glad I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when theres science to do
when i look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
i've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still alive.


and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive
still alive

here is the flash version of the game as well

Atomic kitten

so today was SUPPOSED to be an eventful day. it turned out the opposite. (I'm not in a good mood btw as I'm writing this) Today i was SUPPOSED to get my Wyrm hands from Dynamis Jeuno, then go to sky and hopefully get neptunal abjuration from byakko, then leave early and complete the CoP mission Ive been stuck on for 5 months. nope non happened.

here's what did happen.

Dynamis: well i got to jeuno on time, and everything was alright, we burned through the mobs pretty fast with out many deaths, moved to the second camp, and 10 minutes in what should drop? Saotome Kyahn. Ihnako got those, i was semi-unfased because my Wyrm could still drop. well nothing else dropped till we were at the auction house. SAM feet again, but apparently there was a second lot on those... now i'm alittle annoyed.

so next drop is NIN feet, which goes free lot, i got second highest but before they drop, i DC... no intentions of leveling NIN but they would look good on my model when i get they auto-sorted already. connection stayed stable for a bit, and two bard slippers dropped. its ggetting close to the end of the run and what should happen? i DC. for close to 10 minutes, when i get back i notice theres a statue next to me...

Shit...

Final pull was made. so im in the middle of seven statues, and i spawn about 6 gobs, which include 3 summoners. and all 14+3 proceed to march down the stairs and wipe the LS. yes i suicide bombed the LS with a goblin they had at about 3% it took 20 minutes for them to RR and kill it. ended up being down for 45 minutes and receiving R1... now im not so nice. well Dynamis ends and i get ready for Sky.. well then i end up DC again...

so i get back on when connection is stable, Ive missed sky completely. also missed the mission, and the person who invited me had forgot i wanted to join.... now I'm really not happy. and I'm hungry.. I missed the one thing I need to get Sea and ... well you get the picture.

listening to silversun pickups to brighten my mood..

Long road to ruin

1st real post is a killer.

today was surprisingly eventful. as soon as i got on and got to Rolanberry, i got an invite from Sebion to come merit, figuring a merit pt better than campaign i went and got ready. 1/2 way through, Dark told me he had a PLD. after about 10 minutes instead of meriting on DRG i was putting a pt together for BLU (yaaay!) 30 min later we were killing in Aydeewa.

today marked a turning point in that it was Dark's 1st time mass pulling as bard,, we flew through crawlers for hours until another party showed up. then we started pulling and sleeping everything. needless to say they eventually left so i ended about 8k TNL and dark got 4k behind me, all in all good party and greeat time. i hit some 1k death scissors and dark got to pull so alls good right?



wrong.

Xerxes comes on LS as soon as pt ends Bakgodek is up and hes being help at the zone line.
3-400k for us. so i jumped on RDM and rushed over to Davoi . Dark followed on SMN and we met up in Monastic Cavern. The orc king was smaller than i expected, and not at all as tough as i'd heard. Xerxes and Zipinferno tanked it perfectly, we only had to restart once. second pull we held on the entire way. more people showed up to help, 2 more red mages, the fight went on for about an hour, and then....



well i cant tell you much, i dont have any SS because my computer decided to update at 1% so no kill shot; ; well it was 1:00 AM so that told me next day was gonna suck, it did....


after everyone left, i decided to kill a few orcs for possibly a key and mabe some shield skills. well that ended up being a 2 hour ordeal whhen i ran out of mp. i ran for the door, unknowing that dark who had healed me once was now asleep at the keyboard. so the 5-7 orcs i had zoned came back and hit him like a train... atleast i think thats what happened, i zoned out he was alive, zoned in he was dead. so it took 45 minutes of finding a WHM for to come raise him (didn't want my Raise 1) Rivkkah was kind enough to come help, i had to go to bed because it was 3:00AM and i had dyn~Jeuno in 6 hours. made a connection with a guy shouting for CoP mission 5-3 trying to find help for myself at a later date.

hihi

LJ didnt work out so here is my new home ^.^ look forward to talking to everyone
