Fun with UFOs

Well before fun with UFOs, I suppose I should mention that I have gotten PLD up from 24 last entry to 30 now. Did some Jailers, did some Assaults, did some Dynamis, all that jazz. Nothing particularly interesting to note from those. So that leads in to today...

After dinging 30 PLD Cami sends a tell saying he wants yovra organs. I need 2 myself so I find a replacement and head out to sea. Ul'yovras are old news for us and we duo two of them without a hitch. No organs drop though, so Cami says "Wanna try an Om?" and despite my best judgement I say "Sure, why not?"

So, off we go to attempt to duo an Om'Yovra. If you aren't familiar with sea, the Om mobs are the much more difficult versions of the other mobs, and Yovras are the hardest regular sea mobs. Not really prepared for it or anything, had enough pineapples left over from PLD xping to make 7 pineapple juices. So went in with just that for refresh and off we went.


Wasn't too much different from the Ul except for much more hp and dealing much more dmg when it hit him. We managed to fight the thing for right about 30 minutes (buffs were wearing when mp finally gave out and we wiped). We managed to get it just below 50% hp before it won.



Well, never ones to take a loss lightly, we call in a reinforcement in the form of Crosis who heads out on BRD. Well, it was much simpler when he got there and we trioed it with ease. Flamey came out to watch and once it was obvious there was no way we'd lose we let him join in for the kill. This actually lead to a pretty funny moment where Cami, Crosis, and Flamey all got charmed and I had to haul ass, but the charm didn't last long enough to make it really funny. :/



Hurray for an organ. Went back and killed the easier ones again quickly as a group afterwards and another dropped. Cami got them both and next trip I'll hopefully get mine. I'm 2 yovra and 1 hpemde away from a Light Gorget for my MASSIVE DAMAGE HEXA STRIKES.

Levelling

The time since my last update has been a blur. I've done a whole lot of levelling and I've been busy RL as well. There were some really fun times, especially levelling MNK with Mirewen's BRD, but to try to put any of it down in writing now just wouldn't do them justice. I took SAM from 31 to 37, taken MNK from 20 to 31 with Mirewen's BRD as previously mentioned. I dinged BST from 52 to 53 exclusively off of xp scrolls. I got a few merit points and finished off my Critical Hit merits. I've taken PLD from 19 to 24 and currently pushing it towards 37 as well. I made a decision that I'm already starting to regret that I want to get all of my jobs to at least lvl 37 so I will always have every available subjob for anything I ever choose to continue levelling. When you look at my jobs, I don't really have a whole lot to go really but there are a few I'm really not looking forward to (sup DRG and BLU). I haven't decided what if anything will be my next time to 75. I'm enjoying MNK with Mirewen but I debated swapping to either BLM or NIN when I hit 37. I'm also thinking about continuing on with PLD, though not really sure on that one.. it would be able I got the other jobs to 37 first.

Again, there have been some good stories and funny shit happening during all this time, but covering it just won't be possible so I won't try. Aside from all of the aforementioned levelling, I managed to pick up a few items as well:


Hurray! These are by far the best magic gear swap hands available for DRK, and definitely not something most DRKs are going to have so pretty proud to have these.


Not a particularly great item, but got this drop in Dynamis-Jeuno last week.


Big thanks to my friend Kahsha for helping me finally get this stupid thing. Ended up going 1/8 overall to get it.

And these are just a few funny dynamis moments I happened to catch as well:


wtcrap, dragoon h4x!


So I got charmed along with some others and Cami took it upon himself to save the rest of the group from my scythe of doom! At least I claimed one victim before I got Combowned. :(

Trio Trio Trio

Well, time for another update. Feb 1st was boring and don't really remember what I did. Today there was maintenance so we collected some ToDs to camp tomorrow (though I'll be in Dynamis for most of that time, but hopefully Element can claim something). Relatively uneventful day until after I duo an ENM with Cami (crap drops this time) and we start talking about Fenrir, wondering if we could trio it. Well, not much else to do and nothing to lose but xp, I convinced Mishaela to come be our suicidal WHM and I suited up BRD and Cami of course came on MNK/NIN and we decided to give the puppy a try.

It wasn't too encouraging seeing a JP pt recovering from a wipe when we got to Full Moon Fountain, but after raising their last member and buffing and all that good stuff, we entered the battlefield. The plan was pretty straightfoward. I gave Cami minuet/march and Mishaela kept him hasted. That optimized damage and Utsusemi recast. Kept her Ballad'd and kept Fenrir Elegy'd. Around 55% (if we made it there) I would Soul Voice March and Dark Carol.

Well, we get the fight started and go to work. Fenny's life bar falls surprisingly fast and aside from a few weaponskills Cami doesn't really take much damage. It actually looked like we had a chance when we got it to about 60% or so and still had most of our mage's mp. I pop Soul Voice, get March and Carol up, give Mish double SV Ballad, re-Elegy Fenny, and shortly after that he 2hrs, causing minimal interruption to our team. Mish Benedictions for a quick recovery and the rest of the fight pretty much goes without a hitch. As you can see from the screenshot below, Fenny died about the same time SV wore off. Was suprisingly easy.


We set the record (kind of a joke, since there was no record due to maintenance :P) and that JP group ended up wiping a second time. Oops. Was a fun fight, we handled it really well. Oh, and I got me one of those Fenrir's Torques the kids are always talking about these days.


1300 mp with my maximum mp gear on now for WHM, not even subbing SMN. Pretty darn good for a mithra in my opinion. Just need to get me some Zenith Mitts and maybe Zenith Boots and then I'm about as good as I can get as far as max mp is concerned.
