Surprisigly a very rewarding week!

Wow! Simply... wow!

This week has been pretty damn nice to me. Today was a great conclusion (most likely) of events for this series of seven days.

First of ZNMs! Today we were Marg-uh-less which forced Clave to come on PLD/NIN. Clave didn't have Crimson Cuisses, so it was a little more dificult for him, but we managed. Damage was considerably slower without Clave's Tachi: Kaiten on our side. Next time, we'll put Demenic on PLD and Acers on THF if we lose Margulis for a run again.

We faced Gotoh Zha the Redolent. And these are the results:



I can't believe I won!



With this, I no longer have to get Hecatomb Mittens. Although Heca would still be better for Shark Bite and Mandalic Stab, this is the next best alternative.

Because we were running low on time (people running late, missing people), instead of doing a second pop we did Vulpangue for another seal.

Off to Dynamis! ... and get jacked.

We were supposed to do Dynamis - Bastok but oh well, some new shell with no respect for other shells decided they were more important and took our spot without explanation. But it ended well. We went to Dynamis - Jeuno instead and Xorn got a very good amount of coins. And I got this!



I was very nervous during the run as it was my first time as a THF. But it was great! I died thirteen times!

Hopefully things will always look this good or at least close to it. I will be starting my "project" for gil next week. So far, only a handful know what I'm doing, and I hope they are smart enough to keep their mouth shut. But if all runs smoothly, I will be making close to 200k/night not including expenses.

That's all for today! Aloha!

Slow is slow is slow...

Ok a recap of the last two days!

Monday we had Nyzul Isle Investigation. Only two runs this time because some people forgot their tags. Again, Denali Bonnet did not drop from 100th floor. =( However we did get Askar Manopolas on the 60th floor and I won the lot (only one lotting). I did another run last night with a pick up group and Denali Jacket dropped! But again, out lotted. That's the 3rd time it's happened, the 2nd time Kriptin got the drop. I'm still a little peeved that I've been working on Nyzul longer than he has, but he has completed most of his sets. But oh well, he IS very lucky.

Last night I also did ISNM3k Shadows of the Mind with a pick up group. I went as SAM and pretty much slaughtered the NM. I was stealing hate from a DRG and NIN just from meleeing. Some runs I didn't even WS and I was already tanking. A little sad. On the last run (my turn) I switched back to Hagun for fun. At about 50% I did a 4-part SC using Meikyo Shisui.

Tachi: Gekko > Tachi: Kasha (Fusion) > Tachi: Rana (Gravitation) > Tachi: Gekko (Darkness)

The great thing about this SC is that it's 4-part and ends at level 3, which means it does 175% max potential damage, as opposed to the 3-part Light which has 150% potential damage. Second, because the NM was a Puk, it absorbs Wind-type damage. Since Wind is part of the Light spectrum, a Light SC would be 25% resisted. Third, you open AND close using Tachi: Gekko, which is usually the most damaging WS for SAMs. That usually means better SC damage. And fourth... the animation sequencs is just cool. I've also liked Fusion's explosion. Gravitation is a big dark ball being absorbed, and (the really cool part) Darkness bringing that ball back out and exploding.

Oh, and I also got a Chunk Of Khroma Ore which sold last night out on Rolandberry for 300k.

Ok off to work! Aloha!

ARG!

This template for this blog gives me headaches! But it's ok, I kinda made the blog look like what I want it to. I'll post when I get back home for work. Bai!

Like a roller coaster ride...

Today really had its ups and downs. It was a bit scary to get through, but through I got!

First off drama! I really shouldn't talk about it... but let's just say there's a trust issue... I feel a little betrayed... but these days where idiocy runs amok... I don't blame them. I just hope we can just get past this and move on. I hate being pressured, especially in this GAME. Please remember we are here to have fun. Get that elitist stick out of your hole and let's just make this time of our lives worthwhile.

But anyway! To success! IMalloreonI vs. Proto-Omega! To our amazement, Omega's Heart dropped! If you didn't know, the heart only drops as the third item of a set of three items. Kriptin received the well-deserved Heart whilst Airaa got the Omega's Tail and I got the Omega's Foreleg! Woot! 4/5 Homam Corazza Set!


22% haste! ^^

Off to Dynamis - Bastok! I sponsored today's run and got 325x One Byne Bill. We cleared the run with almost an hour to spare. I feel really bad for linkshells that can't even defeat this one. It's not all about skill, but also about leadership and teamwork. I'm proud to say that /pwnED/ has refined its runs to be as smooth as possible. Because I sponsored, I was not allowed to lot AF2. Luckily our AF drop in abundance for cities and I was able to get Etoile Tiara and Mirage Shalwar .



Summoner's Bracers dodge me again! I will get you one day at 40+! The Summoner's Bracers -1 have been sitting in storage for a while. I really hope Azulmagia doesn't see this post. The BLU AF2 legs are pretty awesome, and he can't seem to get a pair of them. And here I am, getting them for free when my BLU is only 42. ^^;; Sometimes I wish you could give away rare/ex items...

You know what really sucks about lending gear to people? Most will return them. But if you forget about it until you need it... ARG!!!

So I lent my Blau Dolch to someone... I hope it's Margulis...

That's it for today. Maikeru signing off! Aloha!

P.S.
I'm looking for a guide for THF WS setup. If you can help, let me know!

Dynamis-Xarcabard decides to be nice!

Today was a great day of achievement!

First our ZNM group did Gotoh Zha the Redolent. He was really brutal the last time we helped Senkei for Rewt's Naglering. It took close to an hour the last time and I remember dying at least four times. This time around was different. We took him down really quick, getting him to about 20% within 25 minutes before he used Benediction for over 20,000 HP. After that, it took a little bit more work to get him down. Margulis went down a couple times due to the NM's Fast Cast Tier III -ga spells, Groundburst, and Firespit. But in the end, we took him down. Barlow got Aurum Cuisses and I got a Light Grip (which I will sell as reinbursment for the one I already bought). The best part about killing this NM was the seal reward which makes us eligible for Tier IV Tinnin. I can't wait! After that, we did 3x Iriz Ima, but of course no bootsies.

Dynamis Xarcabard! It was a little crazy. I messed up and pulled aggro after the first NM podium because I wasn't paying attention. I know, baka Maikeru. We also screwed up on the eyeline. But behold, our debrief:

NIN - Xtinae, Percy
DRG - Acers
BST - Xorn
.3 parry - Xharric
RNG - Shymanu, Clave
SMN - Lester
BRD - Myste
BLM - Lester
PLD - Xorn (TY guys)
THF - Maikeru
COR - Eniko

157 Single coins for Cairstiona!
L. Jadeshell X 2

Shadow Ring - Gipi
Shadow Mantle - Cairstiona

Crazy stuff! I'm 5/5 on THF!




Of course, this means I'll be stat tagger in cities. =( I think I rather be on BRD. ><;

Well, off to fix up this blog! Aloha!

There and back again...

Another blog! Wryyyyyy!
