New Beginnings

Well I guess it's about time for me to make a post since it's been almost two weeks since my last one.To tell ya'll the truth, I can barly see to even post. After being in the damn pool most of yesterday, I find myself pretty much blind today.... Moving on.

Monday May, 20th ShieldsofValor headed up to Sky for some god killing. I wanted to be greedy with Suzaku by waiting till I got one more hit so I could get an Atonment off for better hate managment and well Suzy made me pay for it with a nice Firaga + Flare to the face. Which in turn, resulted into a few more deaths. (opps) The  rest of the night went well, and we finished up with Byakko. Lios got her kitty pants for her War that was still lv 68, but at last she has some incentive to level it now.

Wednesday, Nega, OC, and I went on a NW limbus run. We had a few hiccups but still managed to get to the final floor. We killed the three mini asshats, but ran out of time with the big guy. Still was a good run with coins.

Thursday Sov was back in sky, being a pain in Kirin's ass. We did a Zerg first, and then went to kite the second. First fight, fat ass went down in a little under 1 min. Second time around, we took him down in 22 mins with a kite method. Neo's straight tanking method is much quicker than the old style. although it can cause a few deaths, it gets the job done.

Saturday, Aristocrats hit up Dynamis-Jueno again. While I had a few deaths, the run went pretty smooth. My Blm is becoming more endgame ready as time goes on. I was able to get my Yigit feet after Dynamis^^. Just really need/want one more piece to make me really happy!

I went to catch some Besieged later on sunday and I found out that I am, in fact, an ass hole. Note to anyone that gets charmed... DON'T let me know or this is what normally happens.
Photobucket

Monday ShieldsofValor had a KS99 day. No matter how smooth the runs go, there is always one run that we get pwned. I'll never understand it, but it happens. This time it was Koroki's orb... Sorry bud. For the new people, This is what happens when Spike Flair goes off. SPLAT!... But other than that, we had a good run.

After a bit of farming Thursday, I decided to join Esacflowne and Lios in for some late night exp party. It was a damn good party, even though Lios sucked like hell(j/k don't hurt me) lol
Photobucket

I have searched high and low for a good (cheap) priced Novio Earring, and I finally found one. With a bit of help, I was able to get the last piece that I can obtain with out doing Salavage or HNM for my Blm. Thanks everyone involved, including Twist, you got the wheels started motion for me to be able to get it. Also a person that I will leave unnamed so they don't get harrased. Thank you, You know who you are.

On saturday I joined NzBzAz on some ZNMs. Well pretty much only 1 ZNM. a Lamia that likes to charm people and kick their asses. I got upclose and personal with her lol. Photobucket

When you get to close, bad things happen. In this case, I got charmed and pwned the shit out of the nearst whm. I laughed  a bit to hard when she died. I love the way taru's sound when they bite the dust.
Photobucket

I went to Dynamis-Windy later on that night. With the offical first run of Aristocrats new leader, Peitha. Congrats for the best Dynamis run I have been to in a long time. On a more funny note, Gooky went SPLAT!
Photobucket

While I had a full few weeks, I haven't posted for the fact that I've been pretty pissed off for the last few days. It's just amazing what people will do just to get a few extra pixels. Oh well, I guess everyone has to find some sort of meaning in life.. Sad it takes running over your old friends in order to get ahead.

Getting The Blood Pumping

I have had one hell of a week. I got to do some things that really gave me a challenge(other than putting up with Tidis.) With Shaan's ZNM shell doing higher tier ZNMs I'm finally getting a chance to get some HNM tanking which is freaking awesome. Here is the run down of my events.

Thursday ShieldsofValor had to farm again to make up for the shitty run we had Monday. The run started off great and kept that pace the entire night. One of the only nights that we were lucky enough to get two Despots in one run. Also we got all Sky NMs and I didn't even manage to die. SE must finally be getting bored of killing me.( I can only wish.) I went with Neojuggernaut to kick Odin's ass after sky. I now has a shinny new neck piece for Blm/Rdm/Drk ^^. Btw Odin is a bitch lol. He went down faster than Sylnome on a Moose! (thats pretty damn fast.)

Friday, Dierdren, Alfsta and I hit up NW limbus again. SE was having fun with us by not giving us the damn portal on the first few floors. It took us till the 5th damn ghost on the first floor ><. Anyway we got out with no deaths and cleared with plenty of time left. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it ^^

Satursday, zNzBzAz had some trolls to kill.
Photobucket
They killed back. ; ;


 Aristocrats had Dynamis-Beuc. Dierdren wanted to start practicing killing relic NMs to start being able to sell for later on. The run started off about like most runs do. (I died). A few mobs later, I died again. Then about 10 mins later, Splat!.... Yep that was the the day SE went into over time with killing my ass. At least a good note was that every time I died, more AF dropped. A ton of AF dropped if that tells you anything. Well we get to the fomor NMs. The first one was a pussy with the only deaths was me(big suprise) and a few others from the minis that came back.

Photobucket
That kind of hurt.
The second one, however, (Pld/Rdm/asshat) kicked our ass. Well it wasn't that he kicked our ass, but he lived long enough for his minions to kick our ass. It's amazing how long 30 secs of no melee damage seems. Well still we got the relic item for the bow and alfsta got it.
Photobucket

I was bored after that and decided to take a Blm DM shout. I never done it like that before so I figured, what the hell, and figured I'd get some knowledge that I didn't have before.
Photobucket
That was the fastest DM fight I have ever seen. Dead in 4 mins flat and most of that was prep time.

Dannick, Alfsta, and I tried to do some Fields of Valor augment fights. I wanted to be ballsy and try augmenting my Genie Weksit. Things started off well with this:
Photobucket
Ya so I got my hopes up with that. ; ; I should have called it off then.



So this is what I got:
Photobucket
Great, Blm tank ftw

Well I went to start on my Trial weapon. I figured I'd get the one with +12 acc and +4 Dex with 97 Damage. After mapping out my first trial, I set out for The Boyahda Tree. On the way there, a member from EX ran by and I caught a bit of ADD and followed him to The Dragons Aery. What I found when I got there was :

Photobucket
Pretty much a waste of time. But I got to see how much bitching goes on at HNM site. I would love some of the gear, but I don't think it's worth the bitching I seen at that camp.

Sunday zNzBzAz took on Sarameya which is the force pop version of Cerberus. Yep I'm on Cerberus killing Cerberus.. (That seemed a whole lot funnier in my head than on this blog.) This fight gave me a rush. He resists all kinds of slow and spam nukes the shit out of people. Fun. The start of the fight was a tad painful but we recovered to kick it's ass in the long run. Btw I love my fire resist set. I still need other gear to improve it, but damn it helps out a ton on stuff like this.
Photobucket

Death of pain in the ass dog:
Photobucket
And I got another piece of gear for my Blm ^^ (and alf died which is always funny.)

After ZNM, Allyrose and I hit up some Besieged. I found some comic relief for ya'll:
Photobucket
Dizz taking a Shiizz!! lol

During the attack Mitts joined the massive death that SE was bestowing on me. I seen a perfect chance at some revenge on Ally.
Photobucket
Ha! death to the frog. Didn't help that I was weakened and I'm a Drk....


But I wasn't able to kill her before she unclaimed. So The the frog thought it would be funny to charm me.. (oh shi) and Ally smiled as she took out her polearm.
Photobucket
I got to Mitts before the twit got me at least. . .

I'll get you Ally!

I'm starting to think I should have should have named this post "The worlds longest Blog!." As ya'll can see, I had a very full week. I would really love to do some HNM to get a chance to tank some of that hard stuff but I just couldn't put up with the bitching and crying that goes along with it. That being said, I'm looking for a good Einherjar Linkshell or a linkshell that does it in their schedule that could use someone that is super talented in the ways of death. They can check my profile on FFXI or talk to me in game. I don't mind posting an application.

A Better Week

Well this week is starting off to not be so bad, if you don't count the wife's speeding ticket. Meh I'll get the taken care of.(/em turns mobster, cracks knuckles.) I haven't done anything stupid yet(key word: yet). My truck is still in one piece and no dead cats have come into the shop. I'm ahead of the game, for now.

Thursday ShieldsofValor had some Kirin to kill. With Orangecrush's return and the new memberships of Mrsbey and Fahzewn, we had some learning/relearning to do lol. I was super nice and made OC chase the kite party around. I find it extremely funny to watch a taru run around like a chicken with their head cut off chasing a fat ass galka. Miae and Gooky joined later, so I had the enjoyment of two Taru's running around lol. We kicked Kirin's ass twice and called it a night. Pretty shit drops for the most part, but Caldar got D-body and Sylnome got Kirin's Osode. Dier, Ally and I went for ENM after Kirin, got some decent drops(Mantle and some other BS.) We pretty much called it a night after that.

Saturday I was able to sneak on here and there for Dynamis. Things were going ok till Tidis(lolbrit) wanted to MPK the entire linkshell by telling Shamus that he had a clean pull(he didn't). So Shamus pulled them to the Mega Boss camp. Death followed quickly. The linkshell faught vallaintly(I ran) but we all bit the dust (while I was laughing my ass off.) We finished up and got our payouts (woot, more gilz!)

Sunday I really didn't play much with the exception of Tinnin with zNzBzAz(I have no clue what this name is supposed to mean. I'm pretty sure Shaan was on crack when he came up with it.) The fight went well( meaning I only died one time.) and we were able to take down another big ass dragon.

Monday ShieldofValor was in sky again. Everyone has good days and bad days, this was our turn for the bad one. After camping Despot for an hour with no spawn we went to BB. We got ready to pop and realized that our Thf was AFK  /facepalm. At least we didn't pop it before we realized it. After BB we wasted the remaining time at Uii, Nexus, and Water, hoping for some good luck. While still claimed around 90% of the mobs at Uii, it was Dierdren's group (Damn TH4) that came up with the two Diorites that we got. The rest of the Blm party and I killed the shit out of Uii and went about our night. At least we did finish on a good note.

After the ENM that dropped shit, Nega,Craken,Dierdren, and I hit up NW. We kicked ass and took names. The only hiccup was when Craken decided to help SE with their "Kill Dizzmal" button and gave me more of an incentive to cap my EXP.(Ass hole mpked me. At least Dier and Nega got a good laugh.) We cleared the zone with over 10 mins left. ^^ not bad for 2 and 1/2 Blm(lolnega) and a Rdm.

So all and all a pretty decent week. The only really bad news was that Twist/Atonmentday decided to go back to school, so he left us. ; ; He donated a good portion of his Blm gear to me to pretty much finish it. My new goal is to get a Novio to dedicate to him. Twist we will always miss you. I hope you enjoy life and do everything that you set your sights on. Thanks for the good times and all the deaths( I know some of those were on purpose.)
