Return to the Nightmare

To start off, we did Sky tonight. A successful, yet incredibly long, night. After killing Genbu 2x more he dropped no shield, which means the past 3 Genbu's I have been high bidder, he has failed to drop Genbu's Shield.

After we all left sky I saw Forty speaking about wanting Diabolos. I too needed him, and only got the quest by accidently talking to a Windy Waters NPC. Good thing I did, because I needed both the avatar and the awesome earring that it gave.

We head out and it's BLM, BLM, BLM, RDM, MNK, PLD. Maybe it was overkill but when you hear the horror stories about Nightmare, you just want to get these kind of battles over. We head in and the plan is the PLD and MNK drop down, both 2 hr. Three seconds later from above the BLMs and I 2 hr as well. Unfortunetly, I realized after entering that Chainspell wasn't available for 9 minutes. So we waitied and went over the plan, and when the time came I hasted everyone, refreshed, and we went in.

Viddion dropped down and 2 hr's like a champ, Forty 2 hr'd before he dropped, but rushed in none the less. After I saw Manafont and the first series of spells hit, I activated Chainspell and mashed my Thunder III macro. They were hitting for 515 which was pretty nice in my opinion. Within seconds Diabolos was at 25% and he let go with his Nightmare. All mages were still up top, but when Viddion dropped we were all drawn in. All it took was 1 more round of spells to take him down. I would venture to say that all in all it took 40 seconds tops.

We exited out and warped outta Pso'Xja and headed to Windurst to claimour prize. Since I was doing Dynamis - Xarcabard and really wanted a victory, I chose Diabolos' Earring. It has great dark weather stats and in Dyna - X it's always dark weather.

We plan on going back for our second item on Monday night. I am hoping this doesn't interfere with Snoll Tzar... we'll have to wait and see. For now I am sitting at +9 Magic Accuracy which sounds good I guess. I'll have the opportunity to test it at the next Kirin.

NPC gear, hell yeah

I love this lil pic of my taru mule cook and his pals

I have been slacking recently... I've really gotten into leveling my NPC (48 Fierce Attcker right now) and this week I got thrown a curveball.

Luto gave me a quest called Blessed Radiance: http://www.teamavengers.org/ffxiclopedia/index.php/Blessed_Radiance and I had to call my NPC in 3 seperate areas using my Tactics Pearl. This kida sucks seeing as 1) You need touse 75% of your charges for one week to complete this quest and 2) The areas which they were in (Giddeus, Maze of Shakh, and Jugner) are total crap areas for getting any leveling done for my NPC out of the call I need to make to simply harvest/mine/log a key item. Anyways, I finished it and since the areas are under 2 different kingdoms I kinda gave up on getting 6 calls in a Bastok region done this week... I am going to have my NPC in a SH with the rest of his gear being the Shinobi set, though I see that 10 calls in a Windy area give Nobles tunic and I would laughmy ass off if I could get a Galka Fierce Attacker who is pretty much a glorified SAM to do Tachi: Enpi in a Nobles...



Last night I did another successful Dynamis run, this time it was Bastok. Next Sunday is Beaucidine and I should have enough points to be #1 on the drop list for Tabard. Everyone with more points has the Tabard and I think the next person below me who doesn't has 18 fewer points (so I'm going to try and work something out so I won't have to blow their all points +1 to be high bidder...)

Neglect, No thanks.

It has been forever and a day since I updated this. Let me get you up to speed:

1) Left Envy because I was feeling "neglected".
2) Joined BBQ on the thought I might not be so neglected.
3) Quit BBQ because I was feeling "neglected".
4) Rejoined BBQ after a week off, tried to put best foot forward.
5) Finally got a CoP static with BBQ, spent 18 out of 24 hours in the same party getting CoP done.
6) Got kicked from BBQ as we were porting to kill Snoll because someone posted something on a website as me (even though it was a Guest account with my name...) and the leader(s) kicked me...
7) Joined my old friend Tenbears' LS (which I was a part of before I joined Envy in the 1st place)

So at the end of the day I was in 2 HNM LS's and got more people to dislike me than like me.

Recently I've done Sacrarium:

Then I did Promy - Vahzl with BBQ and got all the way through 3 Paths except I have to kill Snoll as well as the Mine Shaft #2716 Bugbear. I'm really hoping toget Sea soon. I'm 3 fights away really, (with the impossible Airship BCNM still to come).

Last night we went and spent about 7 hours in sky, killing all gods twice.

Dropped a Behemoth Hide I think. The other three dropped their normal drops. We didn't end up with a Divine Log or V. Claw but we got a few Hides, a D.Cloth, and some god gear. No Shield drop from Genbu nor A. Hands from him either. I swear I'm never gonna get that damn shield. I'm getting so tired of having to solo with a Balance Buckler that I could pull my hair out.

Seiryu was hilarious because the healing party somehow popped him and the main alliance could not claim him because he was already claimed. They started falling like flies, and after a while I just stopped and laughed and was gonna wai for them to wipe, but seeing as that would take forever I started spamming Dia and after someone with hate died I was able to claim him (I think) and we did it right the second time.


The one fight I always love doing is Suzaku because there's always someone who fails to stop attacking after he 2 hour's and Suzaku starts spamming Firaga III. I have learned I can paralyze their ass, and whenever I see people wigging out after the 2 hour I Chainspell and cast Silence. Luckily it only costs like 10mp and seeing as I have 700+ I can spam the hell out of him and usually Silence his 2 hour.


Like so:





That's always fun to do when people have just taken a 600+ shot of Firaga III...
