ASSAULT
On the 25th I did some assaults so I could rank up and on one of them we actually got a decent appraisal, congrats to Woodz on a pretty nice Knife for assaults combined with a Heart Snatcher. I need 17 more assaults for captain at the sec which is not too bad but not that easy to do when I have been doing Double Agent almost every day because the shell seems to love it. On another note I have noticed I haven't gotten an armband for command in like three months, my randoms suck. D:
This and a few more would lead to my rank up which is what I have been waiting on for quite a while now. With my SL rank I dropped 48k Imperial Standing and retrieved my Perdu Blade! Over the week I was able to get two awesome new Katana which have shown many improvement as far as damage over mant different combination's with Unji / Unsho / Fudo / Shiranui(Sp?) / Senjuriko damage. I suppose they all need more then just one parse but at the time I haven't had time to do it. The katana I main hand is Shusui (DEX+3 / HP-20 / ACC+5 / Same DMG/Delay as Senju.) The Accuracy makes it a great choice for meriting and with Perdu Blade makes a total of +10 which can be a nice difference when sushi is too expensive of a choice on G.Colibri. I will make a separate post to rant on about this to a much greater extent when I have time and more statistics.
KING VINEGAROON
So here is one HNM that I personally have never been able to do. I think he is named after one of those qiqrins because his name sounds like one and they have been killing me all week and I was wondering what reason they had. As long as a RDM can stick gravity on it holding is quite simple with only a few problems. One of the problems is if, when kiting, the person with hate walks behind the one large plant King V will lose sight of you and go after another person. Every time this would happen to me on our second fight until I found some tricks around it. Other times I would run outta range and lose hate which would go to one of the Red Mages that had enfeebled it. The first King I did fine and the second I did fine but the third was not to good until the end when I figured out how to kite it efficiently. Overall it's pretty fun and repetitive and if by any chance it loses gravity and resists it on a recast it becomes something like Sea Jailers and speeds up and double attacks quite a few times. Fortunately though King V is very inaccurate and missed me a handful of times. First try we had got a helm which is an awesome piece of equipment, maybe someday years from now I will have one for my stupid DRG which rots like a piece of dead meat. D: The second try we wiped because everyone had used their two hours in salvage and that made the zerg tough. The third time he didn't drop anything at all. I expect to see a lot more of him in the near future so he better start raining red hats or I'm just gonna call it a waste of time like everything else, but yet I will still do it. >.> Congrats to Duskk on his new helm!
EINHERJAR
Yeah, it's been a while, a long while. Last time I attempted this was with ForTheBooze and that wasn't too pretty. Before that was when it was first released with NoSephII and that wasn't any better then the second try. I was never able to attempt it with anyone post patches and with EQ I was finally able to. The first run this week we were timed out when the flan boss was at around 60%. We had to fight bats and red bats before we could fight him. We still got 1440 ampules so it was worth the time and exp for most of us. The second run we only had to fight one wave of black bats then went and fought Hraesvelg, who is a very angry manticore that loves hitting people that use white magic. His random hate patterns seemed to always be directed at healers and me. We killed him and found some decent stuff in the chest that would help pay for the cost of the run, no abjs. though, unfortunately and only 960 ampules compared to the previous run's 1440.
SALVAGE
This week I have did salvage six out of the seven days. I only missed the seventh because I was in Dynamis and didn't want to leave early. EQ finished their 69th piece this week as well a a few before that which was pretty nice. I don't have much to say about salvage really, been doing a lot of farming for 35 pieces and it's boring but at least some one in the shell benefits from it so that is enough to make me go. I wouldn't mind actually doing a chariot sometime though for fun since it's always fun to do them and they guarantee drops unlike a lot of these ramparts we have been doing. I won the level 15 legs lot which was alright making me 1/15 on Usu items, long way to go though, especially seeing legs are second to last of what I want from the set. Here are just a few pics from throughout the week, not too much but just some extra eye candy.
JAILER OF LOVE
What more is there to say about this fight other than boring. I do need to make one thing clear though, this fight is NOT like watching paint dry. You all need to get it right, this fight is like watching dry paint lol. Tonight's drops were very nice though and definitely worth the hour and a half spent on it. I was COR/WHM to this fight and also very tired so unfortunately didn't have the best attention span but here are some pics anyway. You will notice in one picture I resist his Parylyzga, you have to be a beast like me in order to that (or just have it as a job trait ;p)
OTHER
I haven't had a surplus of time to do a lot of other things between work and events but I was able to get some stuff done. For a start, while waiting on King V to pop I was doing the Loxley Bow Antican and leveling my NPC at the same time where I was able to level her to level 49, need one more level then I can finally do one of those limit break quests for her. Been trying to only call the NPC in windy areas now though so she can eventually be wearing some of the cool gear that can be obtained from Windy areas. As far as the Loxley bow Antican, I was there 13 hours before I fell asleep and didn't even see the damn Antican... I didn't care too much because it was the same day I obtained the Shusui and that made up for it in many ways.
Today was my first time doing these new ZNMs that were added with the last update. I did the one tier three vampire to help a friend out, was a fun fight that requires a decent amount of strategy that normally can't be exhibited in pick-up parties but this one did a decent job. From it we were able to get Enki feet that Odjay won lot on. I don't have any pictures unfortunately because I took a video and it was corrupted when my laptop froze. After this I wanted to try my own ZNMs so I went and solo'd some pictures on my Corsair with a little strategy I made that works great. I will talk about this in a single post some time because it is a lot to talk about and I am tired but I really think it works well.
Well that is all for this post so I will leave you all with this last picture. Have a great night everyone (Well it's morning now but I need to go pass out.) See ya. ^^
