Lucky Streak

Recently a bunch has happened that I just had to post about! First off, Versus did our normal Sea run on Thursday, and we closed it off with a Jailer of Justice fight. The amazing part was that the torque actually dropped! A few of us were allowed to lot and I actually won the lot O_O. Needless to say I didn't expect this at all but somehow I won. It didn't hit me for a day or two that I actually had a Justice Torque now, but when it did I was pumped! It's such a sexy piece of gear and it makes my SAM that much more awesome.


After that, Tuufless managed to find some time to log on and him, Esor and I decided to do an ENM. We did the antlion one and although nothing dropped, such as Hagun or Foragers Mantle, we still won and gained 2500exp so that was a win in my book! The good times didn't stop there however, later on during the weekend I did a random KS30 run because I've been needing my Destroyers forever for my MNK, and FINALLY they decided to drop. I also made about 35k too so that was an amazing night as well!

That's not all! Last night for our salvage run, something amazing happened. We got drops! I finally got my hands on my first actual piece other than 15s! I got my Usukane 35 Leg piece! We also did the boss and got an Ea's doublet 25 and usukane hands 25. I passed the hands because I don't have the money for them, and Ring can get them long before I will. Omoi got the Ea's. I'm still kind of in shock at how well the run went. Plus the fact that we actually got things to drop! This is amazing!

On a side note, I found some random screenshots I thought I'd post from a while back. One is from Sao and my wedding ages ago:


Such fond memories of that time ^^v

Another random screenshot I just think is cool is from one of our old Explorer Dynamis runs. A few samurai friends and myself just happened to be in a cool pose and I took a screenshot of it. Glacian would be proud!


Well that's about all there is to report. Limbus tonight but I can't make it. Finals time sucks c.c I finished one of my papers today, I still have 2 more to do that are due tomorrow so it will be a long night I think. /deathga

Recent Happenings

Sorry for not posting for a while. Been focused on classes and have been too lazy to update this. Although by following some other blogs from my link-list you can probably see what I've been up to by other people's posts. Recently I've been focused on getting my subs to lvl 37. I got BLM to 37 and then jumped to RNG which is now 36 at the moment, but should be 37 in the next day or two, (it really depends on my workload, it's finals week). Hmm let's see here. Been doing a lot of salvage. Although 99% of them are losses. I'm getting tired of losing too but we keep coming so close to winning almost all of them; its frustrating. I've managed to build up a bit of assault points so I'm not so stressed out now that I have a few runs in me for salvage. I can't really make it to CiB's assault runs very often, but I try to go when I can. I did a couple assault runs with Fishura a few days ago so ty to him for the extra needed points and wins. I'm currently like 18/25 for my next rank up! Then I can finally get the Perdu Blade.

Versus has been doing a little bit of sky and a little bit of sea, but not much to talk about there. Nothing major going on. Although for Sea we managed to get our first torques to drop, which was a Fortitude torque and a Prudence I believe (I had to go before the Prudence one dropped). Ashhhhh got the Fort and I think Noze got the Prudence. Check Ringthree's blog for details on that. This past Sunday we popped 2 Kirin's and got some great drops. First one dropped an Osode and Dryadic Abj. Second was W legs and ingot! Major congrats go to Crlmsonking for getting the W legs, she deserves them! Also congrats to her and Ash for the new baby on the way! Gogo team!

Now it's time for pictures! These are just some random stuff I've been doing since I last posted. First up is congrats to Esor for her Kyudogi. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in a previous post but here's a picture!


Some other stuff that I've been up to is trying to help Theora get his Subligar and swift belt. He's leveled DNC and now he's going THF so it's really useful for him. Also congrats to Ararith, Pilfer, Saoirse, and Esor for their Swift Belts. 5/5 Swift Belts for the win!


Next up is a random skillup party Sao and I went to with Theora and Pilfer a bit ago. Nothing major happened then, but here's a screenshot of it anyway!


I've also been crafting quite a bit lately. Managed to get my Clothcraft to 53! Working on building up some points for the Magnifying glasses, which are 70k I believe. So far I have 40k so almost there!


Lastly I'd like to just point out that the graphics in FFXI have always been good and after all these years playing it, I'm still hooked. Furthermore, no matter how many expansions are released, I still can't help but be amazed by Misareaux Coast, everytime I run through it. The waterfall is just breathtaking and it's still my favorite zone in the game.



That is what's been going on in my neck of the woods, so I'll see you all soon or on game~
