xmas times!

Gonna be pretty busy so I won't really update blog ffxiwise til after new year ^.^ but I will post some pictures of stuff i get up to during the holidays =D



This is a picture of me on the right, and my childhood friend Lucy was her 19th party ^^
Was a really good night out probably got a bit tooo drunk but nvm :D




more inc soon!

We were supposed to be going out on the saturday for my other friends 19th but it was snowing quite bad so we had to cancel =( but we ended up going out on the thursday, it was freezing! and started snowing it was a crappy night out in general ):

I'll post some pics of the snow later!

My cats finally given birth too =D shes had 3 beautiful kittens 2 boys and a girl. 1 Jet black, 1 black+white and a ginger 1 ^.^ I dont know how im gonna pic which to keep ; ; though I'm trying to convince my mum to have 1 :( (she also decided it'd be great to give birth under the bed D<)

Christmas~
I was really looking forward to christmas dinner! but I was full of cold all week :( i even had to cancel going out with my friends one time (though it was snowing really bad anyway) so i opened my presents and went to bed at like 5pm lol, no christmas dinner for me :( i was so pissed off. I was also supposed to go to my grandads for dinner a couple days after (who i haven't seen in like 10 years) but i was still really poorly Dx
but i went out the day after with friends to huddersfield! id never been there before but i was drinking vodka+redbull all night like £5 a glass ;( when VKs were £1.25 each i really shoulda stuck to them cus i ended up spending £40 Dx

Went out new years eve too of course! (though i was feeling alright then, but i still had a bit of a cough which was pissing me off) started off with double vodka+red bulls in 1 bar, but i only remember having a couple then thats pretty much all i can remember of the night lol. Always fun to learn stuff that happened in the morning though =D

a few days ago LP did Bv2 and I went sam =D didn't take that long to gather either >O went, killed it and Bahamut's staff dropped =O not seen one for a loong time. Liger told me and Kuumihumi to lot, Kuumi lotted somethin like 14 lol, I lotted 200 odd but I was thinking about it and decided to be nice and pass, but i missed kuumi sayin he was logging <_> good job Hellokitty didnt pass so i got reinvited back in to lot lol
(He totally bitched at me the next day for it too ;| i wont be nice again to unp)
After Bahamut we went to do 2 kirins, I was on blm. We had a fair few up there too which was a nice change =o First one dropped Nbody only, not even a crystal! grats Shadowstorm =D
2nd one dropped Dbody, no idea who got that ;(
Then it was getting late so i logged off to finish watchin Misfits.

On Friday 4th~ didn't log on much but we had Einherjar and got the malboro boss which was a pain in the ass! but we won with 1minute left, would help if everyone who could wake people ya know woke people :| but i gots Odin access now \o\

First thing we did on saturday was kill eastern shadow =D didnt expect it to pop! had to run Wing out there and stall it on super though as there were some others in zone, Vali's bow dropped ^_^ 1/1! now i can finish ranger =D

me and Fyre then went logging and got 3 bloodwood logs :D I got .2 skill up off of those 2 which was nice ^^ 92.4 now so close yet so far away :( Fyre also had a /seacom saying we were selling Koggelmander and he got a /tell from a japanese player called Agni who wanted to do it. So when our group all logged on we went to do it! but unfortunately from 3 runs nothing dropped =( then we had to go to Dynamis Xarc which I was kinda looking forward to. A decent number turned out and we decided to do Dyna lord aswell. The af2s we got were~ BLM, NIN, BRD, BLU, SCH, DRG, MNKx2, DNC, DRK and 2 100s aswell so was a decent run dropwise.

We then changed jobs for DL and came back, killed it np I was totally dissappointed with my parse on sam though :( but to be fair i missed 1 WS and only saw DA proc once ;o;

Shadow mantle dropped and both Mears+Ariane got to lot it. Mears won congrats ^^
After Dynamis LP had a planned event to try the new fomor NMs. Me/Fyre helped Siralf with jobs and such since he was doing it by himself lol. We went to do the elvaan 1 first as galka wasnt up ;( dropped Blunt lance, we've no idea what these weapons do yet I assume its gonna have something to do with synergy. It was really easy with the right setup lol, some people have been saying these fomor are "HNM" but theres no way they are far too easy. We then planned to do the mithra but someone must have bloodaggroed and it depopped lol D:


Sunday eastern shadow popped again unclaimed (Gonna get Fyre one so he can see Ebow for 4.3m :Q)
Sylv ran Fyre out as he was out and I didn't know the way lol D: didnt realise i had like no shihei left either so i nearly died x.X but didn't drop anyway :(

I've decided I'm not gonna post everyday (I haven't been anyway) and I'll just post every few days of stuff that I've done in game! ;D
but since I've forgotten most we'll start with a few days ago x: I finally got Trotter's boots yay! I say finally but I only went 1/3 on them lol, theyre just a pain in the ass to camp when you have a HNM ls and so many events to do. The first 2 we killed I wasn't even expecting to camp, first 2 people raged it and some pld bashed it before they wiped, which meant it was still raged when the 2nd group got it = wipe ^.^

We did salvage SSR boss with 7 of us and it went really smooth, didn't get anything we went for :/ but it dropped Ares 25 body and head.

We also popped a Chigre (I want shield from Verdelet so had to get access to it) and it was very easy me/Fyre/Shinx/Tula/Phaze/Fastfingerjoe and Kingkorrit went! (thanks to just helpers ;3) Then Siralf said Cerberus had popped, but we all got confused as Tula asked a question forgot what it was then someone asked if it had really popped and he said no ;x so we were about to pop another Chigre when my friend asked why we weren't at cerb as it was up unclaimed i was all o...
Soo Yeah we gathered at Cerberus I went summoner =D I've not been stunner to Cerberus for a while, I'm not a bad stunner in fact I doubt ive missed many I just hate the pressure if u miss 1 :(

Thedarkguys had a stall force inc and their pld was ahead of ours so we decided to pull it with our Sam Devilsquall =D then Shinxen arrived shortly after on pld. It scorching lashed (its flail move) and both our tanks died somehow :/ so Phaze stalled on rdm/drk \o/ by 2houring. Both tanks got back up and soon Shinx died again >_<>

We decided to continue the chigre pops the next day as it was getting pretty late.

So the next day me and Fyre decided to try log for a bit, but we only logged for about 30mins~ and he decided to camp Khimaira for a bit. We didn't get any bloodwood logs =(

Later in the evening we did the rest of the chigre pops and Kingkorrit kindly gave me trophy from his pop =D thanks King!
So I can get another verdelet if shield doesn't drop ^_^

Today I've not done much in game, we did Dynamis Valkurm got to the megaboss easily, then Zarde accidentally cast paralyze2 on megaboss when she was meant to do phalanx2 :( so we wiped, but got up and killed it again after so np ;D mistakes happen Just glad we were able to win xD

A fair few AF2 dropped from valk but only 2 accessories =( blm+war which were commented at least ^^ and only 1 af-1 ;/ and just HAD to be bst didn't it D:<>

After Dyna I had organised with a few from it to pop some Bomb Queens for a smexy zerg ring!
We all gathered quite quickly and the NM itself was easy it was just waiting 15mins for repop which was a pain in the ass -_- we managed to do 4 pops out of 5 and 2 people had t go >_<>

Some LP were in sea so me/Fyre went up, I went to do Ix'drg which had just popped as I got there and Fyre went to farm some M chips. After Ix'drg we decided to get some chips too, we got 3 in like 15mins? who needs TH >o then they had to leave for Limbus :(

Me/Fyre then went to do ISNM he got a Kore as usual and I didn't! ; ;



and heres a cute pic of my very weird cat Princess in a basket ;D

Sorry I haven't posted for a while! I haven't actually logged on that much due to well...even though I have alot i want to do on game still i find myself stood in my mog house lol D:


So today we did SSR farm in Salvage...and what a surprise nothing dropped =/ such a shitty zone!
Missed Limbus cause had to go food shopping, came back and LP had cerb so i went smn \o/
Then KV popped I went bard, we killed no problem (sometimes KV can be a bitch and theres nothing u can do about it lol D:) Vclaw drop only.

I then flagged up on brd but made sure my seacom was "Fisherman no thanks" since I wanted to be lazy brd! soon got an invite from another brd Spence, I asked him if Fyre could come along rdm and he said yeah \o/
We went to birds and the party was decent, got a couple of merits and a bit of buff (yay kuporing and exp band <3)>

It was getting late but I thought I'd go and see what this new wedding thing SE had added was like with Fyre. We were most dissapointed, all we did was get a ring and a marriage certificate, no ceremony like before! though i did like the "Congratulations!" Fireworks =D. It also cost 80k for my ring, 100k for Fyres!! 400k for female wedding set, and 200k for male! we just got the rings, but u can trade them ;( so Fyre put my ring in his bazaar for 100k tut!

I'll add a piccy when i get it from Fyres pc ;D

10th

emergency maint inc! lol i think everyone saw that coming. Yesterdays maintenance cause a few problems although only 1 I'm aware of is that carbuncle's mittens weren't working =o

Before Maint Fyre was logged on and went to get Dynamis glass for after, he decided to have a quick look for mog tablet since they'd just been put out. He found one O_o
I quickly tele'd out as he was gonna let me have it =D I didnt want the ring...I wanted a damn moogle statue ; ; I got it and went to ru'lude gardens to see what item I'd got.....
...
Coffee table |:
Typical, though if Fyre had of got it, it would have been the statue and I would have been all angry :@

Least I has a new shiny exp band now =D


After maint finished at 7pm, if enough logged on we still wanted to do a dynamis, but it did take a while to sort out and we didn't enter til about 8pm >.< sorry guys!

We ended up with 26 members, not bad! and decided to do Xarc still.
Not long in and Pld dropped grats Zuljin! then Drk =o went freelot to all and Mooswa won.

Then we did the Nms and rdm NM dropped rdm :O grats Shadowgenesis!
Whm dropped from the Whm NM, grats Pinkpoison \o/
Another pld dropped \o/ grats Hakubai
Nin - Fastfingerjoe (he has nin?!?)
pup freelot - Chrisstreb
Thf dropped went free to 75 lol, grats Ariane O<
Whm dropped, freelot to all (I am 75 but i'm not a lootwhore and since i prefer sch I pass \o/)
Nemy won, Drk dropped freelot Techlife got and another whm freelot techlife got lol
All in all a good run =D made it worth doing!

9th November update!

During maintenance I was reading some of the update notes, they seemed to be adding a fair few things in this time.
Most of the gear seemed to be for lower levels but there was some really nice stuff I want these feet!

Shrewd Pumps
[Feet] DEF:14 Elemental magic skill +4
"Magic Atk. Bonus"+3
"Conserve MP"+2
CanEquip, NoSale, Ex, Rare
Lv 74 WHM, BLM, RDM, PLD, DRK, SMN, BLU, SCH

I think these will be a drop from one of the many new NMs they've added.
After maintence had a booring 2hr update |: but I was watching tv so np \o/

When it finished, me+Fyre logged on and decided to try find some of these new NMs they added. We went to wsaru and he found 1 on widescan called Tiffenotte. Problem was I was on naked blm/whm, Fyre naked rng/nin lol, but we pulled it anyway to see what it was like, well my T4 only did 5% ;x and it was a whm mob, banishga2, Holy seemed a bit of a bitch (on me anyway) Bigboy came sam, and seemed to do decent damage, but I had no mp so he eventually died, Fyre then died, I had to kite with about 200hp but a pixie saved me =D a few TG had started to gather too lol. Shadowstorm got here in time and shadowbound it ;D then killed it and it dropped a Furia Pigment. I think this was something to do with Evolith system as on the pictures there was 3 different colours, black,white+red. This 1 was red. Shadowstorm won lot for it anyway.

We then went to pash[S] killed some goobue nm no drop.

Went to beauc [S] and killed a sperm looking thing ;O no drop

Then went on to Xarc [S] to try find a dragon NM! but we couldnt find it. We killed 2 normal dragons which were fun :D then found a Tarus NM called Tikbalang. No drop.. from what i've been reading on BG droprates on these seem terrible :/

It took a couple of hours but eventually Tula/Draran found the NM, and it drew our whole ally in from quite far =o lol. Opened with a Tp move and killed half of us so we had to recover. I then missed most of the fight <,< me/Fyre dced for a while. Managed to get on when it was at 18% and most of the ally was dead lol, so we helped raise people up. 1 tank was alive at 3% then died.. a blu i think it was Jerm got up and killed it ;D I *think* we may have got full drops from it but tbh can't really say considering they havent even been in long lol. This is what we got


(will post pic later! :3)

And then it was 3.30am...seriously didn't realise the time lol, so logged off :>




Zirnitra
Tikbalang

Went logging with Fyrestorm when i logged on this morning, we got 3 bloodwood logs in about 1hr30mins :D not bad, though none of them gave me a skillup on woodworking lol :(
did hit 91 though :D

Then off to...boring Limbus ;o; though least i got to go DRK (Kuroi never fkn lets me even though so many others have mage jobs )< ) and it was only a central so quick ;> I wanted sch item but didnt drop :( cor did

Decided to then try do some nyzul 100s for my goliard hat (for my mnd setup :O)
Didn't take long to set a group up with askar being free, this first run went pretty good, got hydra boss and askar dropped ;o forgot who got ):

Then went on to do a 2nd run, this run sucked, we had to do an activate lamp at same time bit and it took forever we had about 10mins to do 3 floors left x: we decided to go up anyway and got a specified mob yay :D and went up then got a specified then we got an all mobs floor which was short. Got Khim boss and raped the shit out of it >O Goliard dropped yaaay me :D

Rocki was tagging along to our runs and wanted Askar helm, so i offered to setup a run for him where he was solo lotter on askar, again didn't take long to setup a group and away we went. This run went pretty smooth again got hydra boss and yaay Askar dropped :D grats Rocki.

It was getting late but before we logged we decided to well log for a bit :O (cutting trees ;D) within 20mins Fyre managed to get a bloodwood log, in about an hour and half he got another 2!
I didn't get any but np we share anyway \o/
