Good to be blogging again

I'd forgotten to put down what I'd done over the past... five days or so. Yesterday and the day before, I didn't get to play, since I was out of town... but here goes on the rest.

Wednesday was a mixed bag: I went out to camp Hoo Mjuu again with Desolation, only to find out that she and a few other people (some of whom I'd respected) had left the Linkshell. That was pretty much all I did that day: we didn't get claim. Not much else happened (that I remember, anyhow.)

Thursday was pretty boring also (that I remember). I don't remember altogether much except right before I logged out, I saw Shadowdog, a good friend, on his Level 14 Puppetmaster, and asked if he wanted to duo in Tahrongi Canyon with my Level 12 Dragoon. He agreed, and we set out, but I had to log out before we could get there.

Today (Sunday) was... fun, to say the least. I started off by looking in my Delivery Box: Sanoi had finally sent my items. He had succeeded in HQing the Pumps (the important part, by far), but had only made a normal Tunic. Ah well, at least I have the good part.

Then, I saw Rannon was organizing a run at the Promyvions, for a Chains of Promathia mission fairly early on. I had yet to clear any of them, and all three were required -- they can be tough, though, since they're capped at Level 30. We got six people together (Rannon as a Warrior, myself and Kaosreaper as Black Mages, Vivimeister as a White Mage, Ginana as a Samurai and Fubii as a Paladin), but Vivimeister's connection failed him twice on the first floor of Promyvion - Mea, the first one we were doing, and the second time, it didn't come back, so we called in... (drumroll) Desolation as a Thief and had Kaosreaper switch to his White Mage. We gave Desolation a new Linkpearl when she arrived, and expressed how glad we were that she was back.

We made it all the way to the boss area, the Spire, with only one complete wipeout, which was a surprise. We went over our strategy, but it was rough since only three of us had Psychoanima (which gives the user 100% Empty Killer, meaning the Promyvion monsters won't attack at all for 30 seconds) and four of us had Hysteroanima (which blocks an Empty-type mob's special attacks.) We entered the Spire, buffed up, and it looked like everything was going our way, but once its health hit about 15% and we were out of Anima, it started spamming its special abilities. We wiped out with the boss at what I estimated to be 3% health left.

Myself and Rannon had to leave, and I looked over how much Experience I had lost. Oh well, though, I didn't delevel. I logged out for the night, and told Deso again that it was good to have her back.

(Note: I took a few screenshots. Memory providing, I'll be posting them soon.)
