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.

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 :\
