Up And Down

Where to begin...

Last Wednesday I helped Rrynn get her two of her final spells as a BLU. At the same time, I got to finally explore Beaucedine Glacier [S] and Xarcabard [S]. It was pretty fun! If painful = fun, then it was lots of fun!

These guys are super grumpy. AoE/Conal moves that take multiple or all shadows. Not to mention they hit freaking hard, can terrorize you, and strip you naked. Yes, they're perverts like Yagudos.

Again very grumpy. They weren't as bad as the Ruszors, but they link like crazy. It's sight link, but they can link from over 25' away. Evil evil thingys. They can also terrorize.

I got lucky this week. Sanraku wanted Wamouras, and so I got him Wamouras. 99 zeni each! So I got a total of... 120 pictures (60 each character)... that's around 5k zeni each... Then I went and killed Brass Borer 4x solo. Not so difficult, just boring. This is after the BLU hunting, so I was pretty damn tired. I got a quick nap and moved onto ZNMs.

Oh so very true.

Margulis decided to kill me. Well, he was charmed, so I don't blame him. But the other BLMs took vengence into their own hands. Good job guys!

After four Dahaks, we went to Dynamis-Qufim.

Grats! It only took you a couple years. ;)

During the run, PUP Cape dropped and Vegetto won. He just recently leveled it. Toth, who has been fighting for it for a while, and was the first PUP pretty much on Fairy server, lost the lot. He also lost his control and vocalized what he considered was... how do I put this into words... unfair?... it was for him not to have priority whilst using pretty vulgar language. Not only was this insulting to Vegetto (who didn't care anyway), he disrespected the entire Linkshell by exclaiming how he wasn't protected. Well Toth, too bad for you. We have rules that you accepted upon applying for membership and we followed through. I'm really sorry buddy, but I hope you have better luck in the future. I'll miss your long AFKs on Sundays most definitely.

Onto real life!

Today I found out I got a raise at work. A very nice 15%! I also got a bonus check! But I lost my bonus check at poker. Not too shabby.

Anyway, it's almost 5:30AM and I have work in 7 hours. So I should get some nap time. Bai!

Swatting Flies, Faulty Token, Frog Hopping, and Loving That Bush!

As you can tell from the title, it's been a busy week.

I forgot to post this, but a two weeks back before ZNMs, Marg went after a Voyager Sallet. We got lots of rings and bandanas, but unfortunately, not helms.

That same day I did Salvage with Senkei for the second time.

Poor Harp. I bet he didn't think I was serious.

Lots of charmed fun obviously. This is one of the many times we were charmed and kited. We look adorable, but such a time waster. I really wish drop rates were higher.

On Sunday, I tried to log in. My passwords did not work. I freaked out and thought I was hacked again. Customer service was out for the weekend, so no help there. I tried to log into the SE Token website. I found that I couldn't. At this moment I came to the conclusion that there was probably something wrong with my security token.

On Monday, I contacted customer service (took about 4 hours waiting on web chat) and my deduction was correct. They disabled my one-time password and I was able to log in again. I have to mail my token in to get a new one. At least it's free.

Today we went to Dynamis-Qufim. Nothing exciting. We got a bunch of good regular AF that people red-dotted for, so can't complain. On the accessory side, we only got RNG.

After this, we did Divine Might.

From that list of names, about 13-14 of them were people who actually signed up for the event. The rest were kind-hearted and just came out to help on a whim, including Chrisstreb to whom I am totally grateful. Of that 13-14, about 6 or 7 actually needed the quest. The rest signed up to help.

It went pretty smooth. We took the four tank/kite strategy and took out the AAs one by one.

No words can express how I feel about this AA. Actually, a few words come to mind, "bitch" and "hax" being at the top of the list. I was in charge of Marg, who was in charge of EV. It was such a pain in the ass. EV has a directional cone Shield Bash which does damage and stuns which irritated the hell out of me. Marg eventually died when the alliance focused on EV, and she wiped a good portion of the alliance. But we eventually took her down.

And here is the summary:

My SAM gets a well-deserved one-up.

All in all, a good couple busy days.
