Ody made me a wonderful signature today...
I really miss being a tarutaru, why couldn't the new race in WoW be tarutaru ; ; ; ;; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
Finally hit level 70 as drk...took a long time >.> 5 more levels and a buffer to go! Then I get to merit, but I'll most likely solo most of them on blm, hehe. (this is not my normal setup, but I look darn cute in it. I look like I'm wearing PJs!)
Last night I finally got to kill KB my first time. I've had my fair share of killing Behemoth though...I didn't get any pictures of the King, just his crappy drops /sigh Aqua Feet ftl. Oh well maybe better drops next time.
Killed Ouryu some more today, 2 runs and won both of them pretty easily. I was happy though because for once I got to go as blm instead of rdm. I think I did very well today, and I must say I like the Static Earring. It's like the first time I've ever gotten to use it. Drops are always pretty nice on that one. The least you can get I believe is 3 ores which are worth 3 million or so each, so good stuff. Gogogo Crappy photoshop skillz. Maybe someday I'll actually get good at this.

I also did some more limbus in Temenos East. It's hard to decide when/what to pop when you are duoing because you don't have enough time to kill everything. I did get both my blm items quite quickly this time though, so my next upgrade with be the Wizard Gloves+1, too bad I didn't have those ready for today. I get them on Sunday though, yay! After that I'll get the body piece I suppose simply for 2 more enfeebling. Doesn't really seem worth it, but I <3 the white borders. And it's something different to look at while I'm resting too.
Yup, so I slacked off for a long time on the whole updating of the live journal. I blame it on the PS2 that sits behind me. Normally I update my journal when I seek party on drk, but now I've got this nice little program that notifies me when I received a tell! I only wished that I could have gotten it sooner, it's oh so nice. So now instead of staring at my moogle while seeking on drk, I can play video games behind me without having to look back every few seconds only to see that I in fact not received any tells. I can't say I feel bad about using this program, it's not hurting anyone ^^ The main reason I wish I had it earlier is simply because I can do other stuff while playing this game now....like school work.....
As for in game I've done a lot of stuff I suppose. I took a break from soloing limbus all the time and I've actually started to duo with people! It's much much better for limbus that way to be honest. I'm getting about 40 coins every 2 runs. I finally got my black rivet as well. I turned in all my materials for my chaos gauntlets+1 as soon as I could, now I just need the level >.> I've got a lot of stuff waiting to be used for my drk in the upcoming levels, can't wait! So I now have a set partner for limbus, Punisha. I've only gone with him once, but we each got 19 coins. He's a bit rusty on his macros atm, but he'll get better, and we'll get more coins each run. I did a few runs with a friend from my LS as well, nfx. He's really good and I'll miss duoing with him on this. This is what we got for duoing the Fafnir in NW apollyon. I get that darn sam item pretty much every run I do. I am going to try and solo him soon though, and hopefully a video will come out of that.

Apart from the soloing/duoing I've been in the hnm scene when I can. Lots of camping behemoth lately. Too bad the RMTs are there -_- I even got to be part of taking down Cerberus, no pics of him though ; ;
I finally got my Crafting Apron. I skipped the hat simply because its ugly and went straight for the cute apron. I haven't really touched cooking after I got my apron though, still at 72 or so...at least its 72+1 now! Does that make me a HQ Chef?
Here are a couple funny looking pics. The first pic is from an ouryu bc fight, and the second one is from lebros cavern tier 1. I've cleared all the assaults now, so it's time to go straight for points. What sucks is that the points I want most are from lebros cavern and the tier 3 assault only gives 333 points to everyone the 2nd time you win orz. And no one wants to do the tier 1, and especially the tier 2 ><
Here's all the crap I'm going for and my current progress.
Leujaoam Sanctum: 3,614/30,000
Yigit Seraweels - Low 20,000 - 2 mp recovered while healing is always nice. I actually want the whole set because it's the fastest way to recover mp.
Potent Belt- Low 10,000 - Might want this for drk, but not too sure on it.
Mamool Ja Training grounds: 2,681/40,000
Yigit Gages - Medium 20,000 - Good hands for my Rdm. Suppose I could get rid of my Devotee mitts+1 for these.
Amir Boots - Medium - Good boots for my Drk, but my drk isn't quite 75 yet ; ;
Lebros Cavern: 3,137/28,000
Chivalrous Chain - Medium 8,000 - I doubt I'll be getting a peacock charm anytime soon, but this can certainly replace it.
Yigit Crackows - High 20,000 - My most wanted item. I'd love these for blm.
Periqia: 3,449/20,000
Yigit Gomlek - Medium 20,000 - Good for nuking as rdm. And I'd love to wear this while healing for the cool factor.
Ilrusi Atoll: 5,265/28,000
Grandiose Chain : Low 8,000 : Best mp recovered while healing neck piece, but I'm having enough trouble with my inventory. >.>
Yigit Turban : Low 20,000 : This is mostly just to complete the set I suppose. Maybe I'd use it while curing as rdm in bigger hnms because of the -emnity.

We did some more level 30 promivians to get our slivers. This was quite some time ago though. I didn't take any pics of the actual fight though. I've been slacking off on taking pics of everything I do lately, even if it's something important.
All the exp camps in the new zones are soooooo nice. I wonder why they made it so easy to merit now? You can get more xp in these normal parties than you could in a sea blm party killing the avatar's elementals. I can't complain though, I've still got a few merits to finish up.
And to end on a boring note I've been doing a lot of skill up lately....I skilled up my sword on rdm/nin all solo. I'm trying to learn Savage Blade at the moment, but first I had to get Retribution because I had the quest accepted already. That sucked. Since then I've used retribution once, it's pretty, but I can't see me using it over Spirit Taker for anything. I also had to skill up my great sword, which really sucked. I needed to skill it up right around when the expansion came out, and there were no skill up parties. So I took ody's smn and made carby tank some crabs to skill up while I used a level 25 great sword. In this screen I'm taking on a really big mean troll. I was trying to skill up my sword....it didn't go over very well at all. It took me about a half hour to kill him, and I think my DoTs ended up doing more damage than my swords. I think VT++ is definetly pushing it while trying to skill up sword on rdm.
Real update coming soon~
Yeah, so I've slacked off on the whole updating thing. It happens. I usually update when I have pretty pictures, but I just haven't been taking too many lately. Not sure why /shrug. I think a bunch of stuff has happened since I last posted, *looks over pictures*
To start with, I've been doing a lot of meriting. I capped out my int, and I capped out my ice potency! On to mp+ I suppose, which my next one with be the 4th level. I've also been seeking on drk...a lot. And guess what, no invites....at all. 64 is such a crappy level for drks, cause no one wants you.
I've still been doing all my GP items as much as possible. I'm up to 94K, so 6K until my apron w00t. Too bad my cooking skill is only at 72, hehehe. Oh well.
Got a few new items too. It's always exciting when you get new stuff for your main job. I got Master Caster Bracelets, Loquacious Earring, and Wizard's Petasos +1. Funny how out of those 3 items the one that most improves my job was the easiest to obtain -_- I did have to get 2 more ranks of windy before I could purchase them. For rank 7 I did it with a group of lower levels. I probably would have been better off just going solo. Odyne/Rosie helped me with a couple of them as well. I soloed mission 7-2 though, killing Bonze Marberry was fun.
We attempted HQ bahamut again..and lost. That's a hard fight D: Our main problem this time was just our tanks dying too much...I think the main reason for that was we switched out a whm for a smn? Not entirely sure, I just know that when the tanks keep dying hate gets bad for everyone, which makes for a very bad run. I got 2 shotted by tiamat while doing this D: At least one of my shadows was absorbed? Darn Tiamat and his Mighty Strikes.
I got to kill the real Tiamat later too...he also 2 shotted me -_- Darn his mighty strikes! It was a fun fight though. We claimed it only have like 5 people there and had to hold it for a while. During that time we didn't have it slept and we had 2 air elementals on us >.> That wasn't very fun. I was told to focus on stunning the firaga IIIs at the start and I said that I really couldn't because of the elementals. Once again I was told to focus on Tiamat and what do you know?!? I was killed by the elementals soon after. I stayed in the alliance for the majority of the time. I only died one more time after that just from my hate being built up from all my stuns. I think I let 1 firaga get through the entire time after I died that first time. I don't quite remember why I didn't get it, I just remember it not being my fault, hehe. I was very happy with my performance :D After I died I was kicked from the alliance. I was sad. But at the end I was put back in for the title! /cheer We got Herald's Gaiters, which I later got to use for about a day. They're a lot of fun and help out on soloing a bunch. I didn't get any good shots of Tiamat because when your in the main alliance you can't really see him too well, and when I was out of it I was too frustrated to take any.
The day before we killed Jormungand as well. I didn't get in the main alliance at all though, just took care of the bombs/elementals. We just manaburned them all which is so much better than just holding them the entire time. Drops were pretty crappy, just ore and beetle blood I believe.
I killed Diabolos with a random manaburn pickup party. Really freaking easy with rdm/drk and blms. This time I actually made a pact with him. Before I got Diabolos's Pole, which really doesn't seem that great. I've just been using Pluto's Staff over it for dynamis.
Yesterday we had our sea stuff. I went with a party and we tried our best to pop the drk ix'aern. No luck...of course not. That thing is so annoying to pop. At least we got decent xp with just a party. We eventually had to leave to go to fafnir, which we didn't claim, win some you lose some. It happens. I don't mind losing though if it pops on the earlier instances, but when it pops last and we don't win it...orz.

Tonight was a good night, but it was long. I came home and remembered that I once again could do limbus...but I couldn't do it until 4 am. So I had like 3-4 hours with nothing to do. I seeked on rdm and got a couple invites only to disband with a lack of members. That sucks, but it happens D: I got another invite but then decided I was just going to go solo some xp as blm in sea. I'm very close to finishing off my last int, like 4K xp left! I soloed some Om'Phuabo and I've gotten much better on them. I can chain 3 them consistantly now, which is crazy, because before I would rarely get them at all. They're really annoying to pull still. I did get a new high on xp though!
This is with xp ring of course, but it's still nice to look at :D
28 coins in one run. Doubt I'll be able to beat that one anytime soon.
And finally a pic from a couple days ago in Dynamis Valkrum.
This is with xp ring of course, but it's still nice to look at :D
I stopped at 4K to my final int merit because faffy was up! So I rushed up to dragon's aery and we took him out with 13 people pretty easily. Hate was a bit iffy though. All I was doing was MBing and I got hate and died D: Almost died at the end as well, but I got a Water IV off and killed him first. Drops were kinda crappy, but oh well. Faffy is always a fun fight ^^ Camping him, however, not so much.
AndAfter faffy it was time I did limbus again. I had such a good run this time :D Killed 2 ghosts on the first floor and pluto. Pluto gave me 2 coins and the sam item again. A coin dropped from one of the ghosts as well. Headed up to the next floor and killed the ram and 2 buffalo. Zlatarog dropped 2 coins and the brd item...again. Headed up to the next floor. Took out 3 bugards and got a coin from one of them as well. Got to my SECOND favorite floor. Cleared it all except for the boss, so 10 coins from that floor. Headed up to the 5th floor with a little over 10 minutes to spare. I was extremly nervous going into the fight, but I was ready! Full mp, buffs up, manafont ready, and a vile elixer+1 just in case! I ran toward the exit to the place because there's a bit more kiting room over there. I asked the LS if the behemoths link, and some said yes and 1 person said no. So I really wasn't sure D: I learned that they actually do not link! I used the same exact strategy as pluto. What I learned is the behemoths don't have as much hp as pluto. I think my first thunder IV (on thundersday with rairen obi and af2 pants) would take it all the way down to 81%. Before I could have sworn it only took it to 89%, but oh well. I kept at it taking large chunks of his hp. I almost died a few times because of gravity wearing off, and as you can imagine behemoths can take out tarutaru blms very quickly. So I used bind if gravity wasn't up and I would run away, set up buffs, and wait for gravity to get back up again. Finally, I was able to take it out. I've been wanting to sooooo badly, just haven't been able to because I didn't have enough time. Oh, but that's not all! I actually killed 2 behemoths! I also learned that you can ES sleep them.
28 coins in one run. Doubt I'll be able to beat that one anytime soon.
And finally a pic from a couple days ago in Dynamis Valkrum.
A new personal record for me, I got 16 coins and 2 items in limbus tonight. Made it to the top floor with the behemoths again, but didn't have enough time to kill one. The items were sam and smn, both of which I tossed like last week. /sigh. If you'd like an item besides drk or rdm that drops here, let me know. Then you can sit outside and perhaps leech it off me. Also updated the guide a little bit. Didn't get to do any behemoth testing today, just check out the terrain to see if there's a better spot to kite them.
Up to 78Kish GP now for cooking. 22K until my apron w00t. I'm always worried about skilling up my cooking. I'm worried because when I do skill up I fill out my inventory completly with crafting items, so what do I do if I'm called upon?!?!
I finally found a darksteel scythe +1 too. Probably payed way too much for it, but I like H.Q. weapons dangit. I tried to have a friend HQ it, but out of 8 tries on darksday new moon, we had no luck. So now I'm stuck with 8 darksteel scythes. What really sucks though is at the time they were made they were selling for 200K, which would have actually made me a little profit, buuuut right after I had them made of course a bunch were put up and the price crashed...to 80K [-_-]-p Now I have to get level 65 to actually equip it. And if I'm lucky, maybe they'll make scythe a good deal better too, I'd very much like that.
There's the Kaiser Behemoth! Keep your distance!
Also learned something new today, the fafhogg doesn't link with the other wyverns around :D If they did I would have been one dead taru.....multiple times. Updated my guide with that among other things as well.

So after 2 nights in a row of seeking on drk I got no invites w00t. Well actually I did get two invites today, and they were at the exact same time. I took one up and it ended up being the wrong one to take, orz. Everything was going well until the rdm says "Set party is online now, I have to join them." Whaaaaaat. Who joins a party only to leave like 5 minutes later because his set party is online. So the party leader decides to disband the party because there aren't anymore refreshers availible. I asked the other guy if he still needed me and he said his party was full. He then asked what happened to the party I had just gotten, so I told him about the rdm. He then tells me that the rdm is in his set. Wow, sucks for me. Better luck next time!
I continued seeking, but instead of just sitting there I decided to make my next video! This one is of Zlatarog - The 2nd floor Apollyon NW Ram boss. Same style of the first one, but for good reason. I'm planning on putting them all together when I'm finished.
Fixed version :

Wow, that's frustrating...I just finished watching the video and it seems that the very very very end of it is screwed up. It's looks fine in the preview, but in the finished project it's wrong. What is it? Whimsica
L
...orz
Looks like I'll have to do it again, but for those of you who can't wait, I'm posting this one anyways. I'll wait on posting it on other forums though -_-
Why do drama posts always have to get the most responses. The thing about my LJ is I keep it drama free...I guess that's why I'll always be unpopular. I just don't like conflict and drama = conflict.
