Lots of Stuff

I couldn't really think of a good name for this entry. I did a lot of things since the last update. At first there was a theme of the number two, but then it kinda fell apart so that'd make a lame title. So I just went with a lamer one. I'm just doing this entry off memory so it's probably all wrong too, but we'll see how it goes since I'm not really tired enough to sleep yet. :/

So the first thing worth noting is that I was looking into getting a Snow Gorget for my DRK (for Guillotine damage), which requires farming some organs in Sea. Well, me and Cami had duoed some ENMs earlier (yay for Maneater drop!) so he said he'd come out and we'd try to duo some organs since my jobs are all too squishy to really solo well in Sea. The hardest one to get would be the yovra (UFO) organ, so we started there. It actually took two tries to kill one, due to some bad luck on the first attempt, but we brought it down. Lemme tell ya, those bad boys aren't very easy to duo. :P


So after that we kill enough Phaubos (sharks) to get a good chunk of xp and 6 organs. I later soloed an Aern organ on WHM so I'm pretty far along the way towards getting that. Hopefully we can get that knocked out in the next couple days.

The next "two" would be the two Fafnirs we got in a row on Sunday and Monday. The Sunday one we claimed and killed in a pretty respectable amount of time. Element's definitely starting to get the hang of things now. The Monday kill was actually not our original claim. The claim was made by CelestialKnights, who had trouble early on and for 20 minutes just couldn't seem to jumpstart their offense. The nail in the coffin came in the form of a darter claim which wiped them pretty quickly. We picked him up after he went yellow and took him down fast enough to avoid hyper Faf. Here's some loot shots:




Another fire crystal for yours truly, yay!

So the following days were spent mostly alternating between camping a Brown Belt (got Morbolger ToD [thanks Ishaela!] and went 1/1 camping him, then 1/4 on Deadly Dodo and 1/4 on Nue) and duoing random stuff w/ my fav BLU kitty Tryxie. We did some silly easy stuff like the NIN af1 fight for her ninjar weapons. We also did Windurst 6-2, which was kinda funny because I remember when I first did the mission it had seemed so hard to me. I guess this was particularly enjoyable because it helped show me how much we "grow up" in this game, where things that were so scary become ridiculously easy to handle.


I also helped out in the efforts to get Tryxie to the magical world of Sea so she can get the last of her spells (well, other than Body Slam I think). She's been trying to do the Airship battle for a while now and keeps having bad luck so we assembled a pretty elite swap force from the linkshell to take it down, consisting of her, me, Kabrina, Johnnyb, Jamal, and Grodo (who also needed it). We had a freak problem with Omega the first go-round, but the second run we finished in 25 minutes or so, smooth sailing. Just one more battle for her and then it's BLU spell heaven! w00t. Forgot to snap SSes of this, so no condom hat Rappa for you!

Last big thing of note is that as of about an hour ago, I finally hit level 75 on my third job, Bard. It's pretty crazy to think that as I very rapidly approach a full year's worth of gameplay time (I wish that /playtime wasn't in the game, haha), I've managed to get three jobs to the top and to get all three pretty pimped out. I'm looking forward to using Bard to finish up merits for WHM and DRK so that I can really feel like I've become one of the very best of each on the server. Always another goal in this game, always another goal...
