Merry Christmas, if a little late

So yes, Christmas has come and gone. I'm a little disappointed in myself - I ran out of gil about halfway down my presents list this year, so I still have yet to send some people their gifts. >_<

Anyhow. As I mentioned last entry, Wings of the Goddess is a load of fun. I've got my Bronze Star medal now, and as soon as I do a few more campaign battles, I can get my Sterling Star. Woot.

I'm also roughly 11.5k into Level 61, so only about 8.5k more until I'm BLM62.

Still working on that. But hey, at least I have a Dynamis shell already for when I hit 65 - TheWindurstShell, my social shell, has a Dynamis subshell also. Once I hit 65, I can join in; that will be fun, methinks.

Full AF ftw!

Yes - I finally hit BLM60! BLM AF looks awesome, especially the hat. :D

I'm really low on gil, though - down to 2k, but I'm pretty sure I can make it up.

The new expansion is loads of fun, though - Wings of the Goddess is full of all sorts of Crystal War goodness. :D

Sorry for the short update, but oh well.

Woot.

Seems hitting 50 and finishing LB1 has sped up my XP greatly - in the past month, I've gained two levels on my WHM and five on my BLM, so I'm now BLM55/WHM27. I'm currently stopping my XP until I can finish my Sleepga II quest, which oculd be a while - there's a ton of prerequisite quests for it and I haven't finished any of them. I do have my AF hands, though, since to a bunch of help - Shadowdog and Hunnybunny on farming the key, Galadrial and co. on the third Banishing Gate, and Bigkuwaiti on the Dark Spark fight. (That Bomb didn't have a chance. XD)

I've gotten another Monster Signa in the past month, also - while they sell for far less than they used to nowadays, it's still a good 100k, if I can get it to sell on AH.

Anyway, if anyone is reading this and is on Unicorn server, and happens to have a Tarut: The Fool or Tarut: The Hermit, please let me know. Thanks~!

So!

Now that I've done a pretty crappy job posting those pics, here's an actual post.

Got a short party yesterday that took me to BLM50. The party was great - we had a Galka BLM and a Galka BRD, both of whom excelled at their jobs. Unfortunately, I had to log before an hour had passed. Too bad, though - it really was an awesome PT.

When I got back on, I was asked by Heiroprime to help him camp Deadly Dodo for an item for Brown Belt. Chella and Stix came to help also, so it went rather well - I got a Lightning Cluster and two Giant Bird Feathers out of it, so I can finish that annoying quest in Windurst, and Heiroprime got his dodo skin.

It's a ton of fun, levelling and all. I'd love to do it more often, if I could...

Pics and stuff

Here's my pics from Beherit's going away party (he came back, of course)


And here's the ones from Promyvion:


Real post coming in a sec.

Whoa.

Well, I haven't posted in five months or so, sorry about that.

I've gotten a lot of stuff done these past few days - gotten from BLM47 to 49, gotten some items and gil, made friends... all that good stuff. One more level and I can start "LB1" so I can surpass Level 50. What fun~!

Anyway, I finally got around to emailing those screenies to myself, so once I remember my Photobucket info, I'll be posting them. Keep in touch!

Happy Birthday to me~

Well, today was a pretty good birthday, I must say. Aside from RL stuff (which I won't go into here), I got a level of DRG, a cabinet, Moghancement: Experience (finally!) and two levels of Cooking, bringing me to 27. Meat Broth's cap is 28, but unlike other recipes, I intend on riding this one all the way to 28.0, "even if I have to buy new stacks of ingredients at 27.9", as I told Shadowdog. The profit is just too good to pass up while I have it.

Sorry for the short entry, but I've got too much to do to write more~!

--Ironside

Gah...

Well, in the past month, I've gotten up to BLM44 (about 1,000 Experience Points away from 45, to boot), and sold said Signa to Mercilesstemper... the latter of which I wish I had not done. After checking his AH history on the wonderful FFXIAH site listed in my Links section to your right, I saw that he had sold one himself recently, for 290k. Know what that means?

That means I got used for a quick 90k. >_<; A 90k that I could use much better than he could, I'm sure.

Anyhow, Aralays is out of town for a few weeks, so we are unable to do the normal ENM runs. There is to be a static for them when he returns, though, due to us getting slaughtered repeatedly by pick-me-up people being stupid, so hopefully that works out well.

In the meantime, with Shadowdog's help, I've gotten my Cooking skill up to Level 25 and made a fair bit of Gil in the process. Crafting seems to appeal to me far more than I expected it too, if only for the easy Gil. I plan on pursuing this further, believe me, but I don't know what I want to take to 100 yet.

We'll see, won't we?

Woot~!

Well, today was awesome. I didn't do overmuch - caught a couple stacks of Moat Carp while fishing, raising my skill to 7. Two main things highlighted my day:

First off, I became a Pearlsack in my Linkshell. For those who don't know what this means, I am now a "moderator" of sorts in the 'Shell, who is granted some powers over normal members.

Let's hope I don't abuse these, eh?

Secondly, and requiring less explanation, I got another Monster Signa as drop from Hoo Mjuu the Torrent - the first one since my not-so-recent post detailing my previous experience getting one. There was only one opposing camper this time, a level 34 Warrior who was busy fighting any nearby Yagudo - if he had been focused on camping, there's almost no way I would have won. This one is semi-promised to Mercilesstemper, but if I can't make contact with him within a couple of days, I'll probably just do my normal deal to the Linkshell. :D

Blue Mage

Well, yesterday I decided to finish my Blue Mage flag after having answered Waoud semi-honestly and getting the quest by pure chance. After waiting for an hour and a half in Valkurm for my Sunsand to appear (and PLing a PT nearby), I finished it with only one death (Raise I'd by Taklum) from aggro, right near the target in Aydeewa Subterrane. I then went to level and gain spells. Over the past two days and now being a BLU5, my records have been:

1/1 on Pollen (Bumblebee)
1/1 on Foot Kick (Savanna Rarab)
1/2 on Wild Oats (Tiny Mandragora)
1/1 on Metallic Body (River Crab)
0/2 on Feather Storm (Yagudo Initiate/Scribe, but I think my Blue Magic skill might have been too low at the time to learn the spell)
1/1 on Sandspin

Overall, I think BLU is growing on me. We'll see, won't we?

Also, it seems Libri and Gargoylebones, two good friends from the Linkshell, are leaving the game. We'll miss you both! :(

Eh...

Sorry I haven't posted in... dang, a bit more than two months. I just have bad memory. (You'll notice I also haven't posted those pictures yet. >_>;)

Since I stopped posting, several things have happened. I've gained levels in various jobs, most notably two levels in Black Mage, placing me at level forty-two. Also, Beherit has returned, which made the LS pretty happy. (He's decided not to play White Mage anymore except to help other people out - he gave away all of his gear, save his Artifact Armor and the aforementioned Morion Tathlum.) I got some nice stuff for the Starlight Celebration, including three Elemental Staves, 100,000 Gil, a fishtank and four Warp Cudgels.

Today was kind of normal. I went to Windurst to talk to my Moogle, since I had placed a Mahogany Bed Shadowdog had lent me in my Mog House yesterday, in order to get a quest to expand my Mog Safe to 70 spaces. The thing decided not to give it to me, which means I have to wait another week to get it. I then went and solo'd Summoner up to level twelve and puppetmaster up to... two. (It turns out that when I said I had achieved level two before, I had really gotten about one hundred experience points away before getting mauled by a bunny rabbit.) So I then got on Black Mage and camped the Pilgrim's Wand Notorious Monster, Nunyenunc. (The Pilgrim's Wand increases the amount of magic regained while healing by two points per tick. Not as good as a Dark Staff, but I can't use that one for another nine levels.) Someone else was camping it also, but I had to log off while camping. I said my goodbye. At around five seconds left until full logout, I got a /tell from the other camper, saying:

Careless>> Nunyenunc lol

The stupid bird had spawned just as I was logging out. Dumbfounded, I logged out anyway - I had stuff to do IRL.

Might have more stuff about today to post later, but I doubt I'll be getting back online.
