SKY

OK so like I posted earlier, its time for the update! Been a busy two months but that just means that there is more to talk about, right? Yeah and more work to do. Just finished managing the pictures I wanted to put into this update, took me two hours but I chose some good ones. Let's start with sky, after some stupid nonsense with Shadowxv, we broke off and created a new shell, welcoming BLMs at the moment for Sky and Sea. We've been tearing sky up averaging 10 triggers a night and every Saturday either twelve gods (three of each) or three Kirins. The actual shell is only around a month old but I count our accomplishments in DarkEmpires as well seeing that ninety percent of DarkEmpires is in this shell. I'm first in line for the osode list at the moment and the damned thing won't drop. I have gotten other things while waiting though, note that these are also drops from the late days of DarkEmpires as well as drops from UndefinedHavok (the new shell,) I will clarify which came from which. Byakko's Axe was free lot so I decided I would lot on that as my free lot item of the night so I ended up winning it seeing no 75 WARs or DRKs needed it. I won the lot on Kirin's Pole in DarkEmpires and ended up letting Kent borrow it seeing I'm not gonna use it and only lotted it for him anyway. Once MNK gets to 75 I'll probably use it for my Chi Blast set-up. That's a ways away though so I'll think about that at another time. I eneded up geting martial hands about two weeks ago in UH because I was only one not to pass them so they dropped to me and now they are in storage, where they will stay for a very very long time. On our first god night in UH I won Seiryu's Kote which was a very good turn out, an amazing peice of gear and it only cost ften points. On the same day as the martial hands I ended up getting crimson feet for fifteen points (yeah, more than the S.Kote, kinda funny if you think about it) which I ended up uncursing and using for my COR/WHM build. The extra mp helps and it didn't cost too much money so I didn't really mind. Sky weapon drops have also been very very common. I ended up picking up some of the other weapons I didn't previously own. Shiranui was the only one I really wanted for my solo evasion build but I also recieved Scarecrow Scythe and Ushikimaru which are both decent in my opinion. I didn't lot on the Ushiki but I ended up getting it over someone else because someone gave me quartermaster because someone in the party was afk and they wanted me to get the gem quicker, forgetting about the GK. No one really wanted it that bad so it wasn't that bad of a happening. Here are the pictures of the drops and me uncursing the feet and the Shura Togi from a few months ago. Note that the Ushiki drop is missing because in the motion of moving from Zippy to MG, I completely forgot to take one.










This is a somewhat funny sight from sky. I was looking for Zip and saw these three huddling together, so I took a pic pretending to be the quarterback and them the linemen lol.



DYNAMIS
is boring. Yeah, so what it is. It has been good to me these last couple of months though. Ended up getting NIN Feet and NIN Hands(Priority) making me five outta six on NIN relic, only piece I need now would be legs and I am in no hurry for them because I have B.Haidate, and also because I think the orange pants look stupid. RNG Hands also dropped for me making me four outta five on RNG, all I need now are the feet that I have passed to others twice in the past. It would be nice to be 5/5 or 6/6 on one relic set. Now here is a funny story from dynamis. I went to go answer a call in dynamis-Jeuno and when I came back I ended up getting rot-drop WAR Hands because no-one lotted it and everyone except me and Kent passed. I was the unlucky one to get it though so I ended up tossing them just so I could have a chance to lot at MNK Hands if they dropped, and sure enough they did and I won them, making me 2/5 on MNK relic now. Here's some pictures from Dynamis as well as drop pictures and one of our dynamis-Bastok treasure pools.









In Dyamis-Xarcabard we have been tearing Dynamis Lord up with no fails in the last few months. We ended up getting a Shadow Mantle on one and Kand was the reciever, lucky lucky, congratulations! The other time it was just money and no one wants just money from that ogre. >.>; Here are the pictures anyways:




And to end the dynamis related category, here's me getting curb stomped by Ayapie.
Ouch ; ;


NINJA
Lately I've been doing more than just soloing on ninja, but I still have been soloing alot lol. I started working on merits again, here are some screens. Almost capped evasion merits and capped crit merits.




I ended up capping Ninjitsu as well as evasion @269 as well, Ninjitsu was when I landed Hojo on Omega and Evasion was when I evaded a greater colibri's pecking flurry. Lately I have been evading everything is seems, from Yang's Body Slam to Dyna Lords one move that does 1300+ damage as well as knockback, slow, gravity and more. I've even missed things like power attack and smite of rage on my WHM leveling it in the 30's. I'm overall quite impressed.





On Ninja I've even made Kirin look like a little bitch kiting him. With only normal buffs and some bar spells (no stoneskin) I ended up taking a 0 Damage Great Whirlwind. I will come back to NIN later but I will end on these two screens.



LIMBUS

Recently I joined a new limbus shell. It's a pretty good shell but in all honesty I don't expect much outta it after all the times I've been screwed out of Homam in the past. I've already decided that if I really want homam I'm just gonna switch servers and buy it. I don't have alot of limbus pics except for this one of the shell and another one with the Omega drops from the same day. Grats on your drops guys.



TOAU

In the last few months I've did alot of things regarding toau. I finally picked what ring I wanted and went and got it. Been doing alot of assault lately now that I am doing salvage again and am a Sergent Major now. Blitzkreig was a really fun assault to do and definately one I want to repeat sometime. Of course what topic wouldn't be complete without pictures.







Now you have to understand that because of recent law changes, that the superhappyfuntime plant was banned from Whitegate so me and my homies had to go all the way out to nowhere to smoke some. Lol j/k. We be burning!


I went with this one shout group to do ISNM and actually broke the record on one of the runs. I have a video I need to post but I'll have to edit it a bit with some music and such before I do but here is a screenshot for now to hold you over.


WOTG
I've did alot in the past recently, more than just campaign at least. I started working on finishing the story lines for the three cities. I event attempted the one quadav fight so many people claimed to solo on NIN/THF. It was pretty easy in my opinion and I ended up doing just fine. I also went and did the Smart Grenade quest for when my MNK gets high enough to use it. It looks like a pretty good piece but I don't think it's worth subbing in for Tiphia Sting, could just be me but at lower levels all the acc you can get helps, especially without any H2H merits yet. On the way to do the one Quadav fight I got the Pashow telepoint that I am never going to use. I don't even have the other two yet, the past C.A. warp system just seems so much more convenient.




There is a whole lotta "Raise the Roof" going on here, srsly wtf they getting ready to take down AV or something?


And here are two other pictures from the Bastok story lines, they are pretty awesome and anyone who hasn't went and did the city quests yet should go and do them as soon as possible. SPOILERS maybe?!




OTHER

I've done alot of little scale things as well, anywhere from getting maps to coffer keys to NPC levels to more. I've recently recieved four new maps. One was from the Ifrit's Cauldren coffer I got when I went to help Inferno beat Ifrit. The other was from when I was helping az kill Blackbeard for his Club which we were like one outta ten on, we got a sand charm and after some bull got the second one. The other two maps are from when I was doing the "Shadows of the Departed" Quest which I will go over later. I ended up taking some time on the first floor to farm the memospheres so I could get the maps when I made it to the fourth floor. They aren't very useful without labels though. Here's the caps of me getting the maps as well as when I was helping Az fight blackbeard.






After spending the time to get the ingredients and being screwed by that stingy bastad Tigue, I finally got this. I want to say thatnks to Shaolingoat for making my Cerberus Leather and thanks to Acariel for synthing my final piece. It looks awesome!


I went and fought Fenrir to help some of my shell friends out. It was an extremely easy fight and we ended up doing it in around two and a half minutes without two hours which wasn't so bad, almost beat the record. This means the only summon I need now would be Diabolos but I am in no rush to attempt that again, at least not with a noob shout party. Fenrir kill-shot woot, too bad he has no chance to drop anything.



Now that my MNK is in the 50's it's that time again unfortunaltely. I just decided to look at the up-side and say "Coffers... NPC leveling time!" So now Sahyu is 46 and I only have the Garlaige coffer to get on MNK.


QUESTS

In order to continue on with other things I had to beat ZM once and for all, so when I saw the final boss of ZM shout I didn't even hesitate. No one besides me even knew where to go or what to do so it took a lot of explaining but we ended up winning an easy fight with only one death (not mine fortunately.)Seriously though, don't be an idiot and shout for an event when you don't have the slightest idea what to do, it really makes it troublesome for the other people in the party and there is a chance they don't know what to do either.


I saw one of my friends shouting for "Storms of Fate" and I said, hey why not get that outta the way, I would like an Ethreal Earring for MNK someday anyways. We ended up going there and winning on dry run, one of my Kraken DRK friends was mad he couldn't zerg it hard. I didn't mind, even though the PLD ended up MPKing alot of people because he didn't understand where to stand and his cone AOE's were hitting all the DD's and other party members. I ended up pulling hate and showed him where so now he knows for whenever he attempts V2.


With these two out of the way it only leads to one thing. The promy climbs! I geared up my BLU/NIN and bought some Perskos Au Loit, Yagudo drinks, and also a few High-Ethers, which I didn't even use and went to it. It was really easy and I ended up getting the maps for two of the three zones on the way as I mentioned earlier. I will end my update with these three final pictures from floor four on my solo climbs. If anyone needs anymore information about this just make a comment and I will try to fill you in best as possible. Till next time!
