Kung Fu Masta!!!

Well maybe not, but I'm a alot closer on game than I was the night before. That right, after almost 3 years of being 2/3 on BB items, I finally have my Black Belt thanks to ShieldofValor and 2 special people that made that dream come true.

Some of you know that I have been struggling with BB items for so long that I had almost completely lost interest in Mnk. After so many "Hills are Alive" KS99 and countless time I would even try to buy from a HNMls, I pretty much gave up and focused fully on my Drk, which in all senses, became my main DD for FFXI. But Mnk always burned in the back of my mind. When Fahzewn started to inquire about Ks99 again due to the fact that it's been awhile since SoV did them. I've been hesitant because SoVs normall attendance has been a bit low, but I scheduled a run anyway.

 The first fight we had to knock some rust off. It seemed no matter what we did to the damn turtle, it would go back in the shell randomly and regen to full health at it's own choosing. We ended up running out of time.... Pissed off and dissapointed, I was ready to go to a different KS battle. But we stayed. I knew this would be our hardest KSNM for the main reason that we had a lack of magic damage power. With only 4 Blm and a Sch, it would be tough. Luckly Neo was able to get Shaan to come help. So with 5 Blm + 1 sch we entered again. We also switched up our strat a bit against the twat... I mean turtle. This time, we really gave it hell. Kicking it's ass in a decent time for the amount of Mages. I had everyone run out and I popped the chest.... then shat myself.. Adamantoise Egg!!!. but that feeling was quickly subdued by the knowledge that I had no right to it.. Then the unexpected happend. An act of kindness(and mercy lol) from Fahzewn and Fayrra. I had accepted the fact that Fahzewn would lot the egg and I would be crossing my fingers for another egg to drop. When Fay/Fah said in linkshell for me to lot the egg, I became speachless, which is pretty hard for me since I never seem to shut up. Fay/Fah made a dream come true last night. Almost a full year since I had given up hope on Black Belt, I finally had the chance to put it on.. Funny thing was the amount of times I died trying to help Neo's JoF run. But that's a story for another day.
