Tales of a madman

Please don't chew the stop signs, whatever that is supposed to mean

2008-04-01T10:42:35Z

Been a while since my last update, but what else is new...actually quite a few things are new.

Let's start by the basics: I moved back to Unicorn since I didn't have enough time for a HNM Shell anymore and because I wanted to spend more time in game with my old Unicorn friends...which worked out quite nicely so far.

Anyways, I've had no school for the past 2 weeks so I actually had time for once to play FF again...which was actually quite interesting, lol.

But let's start with things that still happened on Bismarck...well actually one thing happened which was this:

After that I lent Joe my account so he could make money for his Ores since I wasn't playing much. Which is why he also turned them in (after forgetting about it twice ^-^) hence the different quality of the image.

Ok, let's just imagine a few weeks passed and I'm on Unicorn playing again actively, shall we?

For some reason RMTs have not camped Padfoot at all the last 2 or 3 weeks which has made it possible for me to see this

or a variation of it quite often in the last 2 weeks...which has umm...let's say, a rather big influence on my purchasing power and the sales history of Astral Earrings, see for yourself:

With this money I've bought coins for a Boxer's Mantle (of course I forgot to screen it when I obtained it...) and bought myself a Peacock Charm (with some help from Ghall, but ok).

I also spent some time in my favourite place of the world...the Boyahda Tree to skill up:

Only missing Marksmanship (89) and Parrying (194) now...

On to the next thing, the coolest thing of this update. So, in order to make it more dramatic, it's time for a story:

Once upon a time on a server called Bismarck, two guys were farming (hi Joe ^-^) Despot and Diorites until they had gotten a pop set for Byakko since one of the two was a gimp without Byakko's Haidate. However, after a while the gimp decided to switch servers and landed in a land populated by Unicorns...after asking several LSs to merc his pop item he came home one night at 2AM (it was actually 3AM since the clock had been advanced by one hour), checking how crowded sky was and asking a random person if they were doing gods. Turned out this random person was a sky LS leader who agreed to merc the Kitty under the condition of them keeping synth mats, abjurations and the seal. The gimp was happy about this deal and went up to the island, only 1 hour later they popped the kitty and wiped to it because PLD/WAR is the way to go in 2008, especially with Adaman Cuirass and all that. For some odd reason the leader gave the gimp one of their popsets, said sorry and said that it was their fault since their tank PT leader was afk the whole fight. Of course the gimp didn't refuse and just as this happened another sky LS came up to the island who had a few familiar faces in it. The gimp decided to semi-afk and wait a bit, as karma wants it, he gets a random tell by one of the LS members which results in a conversation and an agreement to have his pop set merced...after the LS did their 2 kitties without a pants drop the gimp was somewhat scared but...

THANK YOU BLACK LOTUS!

No need to say I'm a happy camper (literally actually >.>), anyways, I'll leave you with this, a picture of my RDM items...

Clicky

Even though not THAT much changed since the last time, I felt eager to redo the sets thingy since I haven't updated in quite a while, so here we go again...as last time, stats are /WHM since it's my most used sub, bla bla yadder yadder. I will still post the different stats but not explain what exactly I use the set for, unless I haven't posted it before. Also, please note that I have 1 (lol) MP merit.

+19% Haste, 20% Fast Cast...yeah. Missing Dusk Ledelsens and Velociraptotious Belt.

Enhancing gear

Neck: Enhancing Torque
Hands: Duelist's Gloves +1
Legs: Warlock's Tights

This gear is used for Phalanx I & II, Barspells and Enspells...puts me at 293 Enhancing. Improvements here would be Merciful Cape and Augmenting Earring (I have Glamor Jupon, but no use to keep it on me since no new tier of Phalanx or Enspells without 300 skill...).

Random update

2007-12-30T03:53:54Z

Hi! It's been...a long time since my last update and I kinda felt like writing something random into my LJ today. (yeah, I'm drunk, whatever >.>)

First off, let's start with some random things:

During some Aspid camp a member of Benediction (Japanese rival LS) did a rare /random:

Then there was this Dynamis-Beaucedine where something happened that I have NEVER seen in my now almost 2 year Dynamis experience:

Please note that this is not photoshopped and that it all dropped of one single mob...quite impressive.

Anyways, I also recently finished all 50 assaults (and shortly after helped Whimsic with his), with the King-dude-on-a-chair-Assault being the last one I had to clear. I ended up solo tanking it on RDM/NIN and getting us the win, yay!

Free runic portals and so on for the fuckin' win! With these free runic portals (wow I rock at transitions today) I was able to attend Einherjar twice a week without worrying about Imperial Standing. Only today we FINALLY cleared our last Wing 3 chamber and we were all rewarded with this key item:

Not only did today's Einherjar grant me access to Odin's Chamber, it also put me at 15000 Ampoules which I traded in for this:

Highest MND cape in the game ftw! :D Then there was this Cerberus that made me very happy since:

Please note that I had to get my Mantle synthed by a complete stranger since our local Leathercrafter Elfzombie is too much of a dickhole to craft stuff for other people (fake d/cing while being traded the synth mats ftw).

I also started doing a lot of stuff with Whimsic recently (duo) like helping him with camping Voluptuous Vivian, farming Upper Delkfutt's Tower NMs, farming sky, and so on. Just a few of our results so far:

1/1!

Popped with HQ shield, thanks Crosby. But of course, if you spend so much time with one person who is (almost) as deranged as yourself there are quite a lot of fucked up conversations happening, here are two examples:

Clicky

In my defense: I think (hope?) that I was very much drunk when these conversations happened...

Then there's Limbus, which I attend whenever it's happening and I slowly but steadily get rewarded:

Body next.

Legs next.

Next up are two REALLY big things (at least to me), let's start with Shiki, who recently got her Maat's Cap after pimping out most (all?!) of her jobs:

BIG congratulations to her!! She's now leveling BLU, so expect her to get Maat's Cap +1 in a few months (first one to tell me "omg u newb dat duznt egsist", gets a free kick in the nuts)!

Then there is my, after almost 2 and a half years, very close friend Luc(iferu), who after quite some time managed to finish his relic, HUUUUUUGE CONGRATULATIONS to him!

Note how these two people have the same character model...coincidence? I don't think so '-')

To finish this update, there is this little story...I literally BEG you, read it.

Clicky

My next update, which will, hopefully, happen soon will be made when I get W.Body, W.Legs, Byakko's Haidate, Altruistic Cape or something other REALLY cool.

I'll also post a new edition of my gear sets whenever I've got more loot ('-'*)om

See you guys around,

Yannick

Almost ...

2007-10-27T18:35:29Z

It's been yet another month since I updated...mainly because this time there was nothing worth reporting, quantity-wise...but oh boy the quality of today's entry still gives me a boner. (Not even joking)

First off...this:

Which resulted in ... nothing, since I just lotted to see what I would get. That Ridill went to Erde :) I don't even want Ridill...I mean, Ridill on SAM, wtf?

Then something which I haven't seen before, in all those numerous Xarcabard runs I've done...

Let's move on to the real stuff; not too long ago I decided to sell off some Melee equipment since I use it like every full moon. I bought myself a second Macuahuitl +1 for my RDM Tank setup, Cursed Mask, Apollo's/Jupiter's/Neptune's Staff and 3 other cursed pieces which resulted in this:

Then there was this little Dynamis-Valkurm run which almost made me cum my pants twice in a row. It started with a normal run as usual and once we got to the cactuars something dropped...I won lot against 2 other RDMs and got this:

!!!!!!!!!

Which, oh wonder, resulted in this only a few days later:

But it doesn't stop there...just today a few hours ago we did Proto-Ultima and I had that funny feeling when we started...turns out my feelings didn't lie to me, because........

netting me

YAY!!!!! One big step closer to finishing RDM...missing W.Body, W.Legs, Altruistic Cape and W.Head (for set really). Not going to bother with Salvage stuff since Salvage makes me emo, big time. Just because I can, check out my enormous shooping skillz. w.

Clicky!

Note the cute little taru '-')b

Oh, also something I promised you last time:

Tank gear

Main: Macuahuitl +1
Sub: Macuahuitl +1
Ammo: Fenrir's Stone
Head: Duelist's Chapeau +1
Neck: Harmonia's Torque
Ear1: Eris' Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Dalmatica
Hands: Dusk Gloves
Ring1: Meraid Ring
Ring2: Bomb Queen Ring
Back: Resentment Cape
Waist: Swift Belt
Legs: Nashira Seraweels
Feet: Crimson Greaves

+17 Enmity, around 1200 HP. Of course I use Tabard and Chapeau for Utsu but that doesn't have to be said, I imagine. Improvements would be Dusk Ledelsens and hmmm Cerberus Mantle aswell as Velocious Belt.

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did... :D

RDM sets

2007-09-29T17:49:08Z

As promised in last update, I'll take time and list all of my RDM sets. I'll add Melee/Tank set whenever I feel like it, but for now I'll only post normal setups.

I use Windower macros which, I believe, don't need further introduction and explanation.

So let's start. Note that all the stats are as /WHM since it's the sub I use the most.

Idle gear

Main: Joyeuse
Sub: Genbu's Shield
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Dalmatica
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Duelist's Boots

This set is mostly MP gear and Auto Refresh gear. Also it's the gear I like the most from its looks. Puts me at 1056 HP and 829 MP with double Auto Refresh, which is from my experience sufficient. I always try to have above 1000 HP in case an AoE hits me or whatever. Things that are missing in this set are Crimson Cuisses and Altruistic Cape.

Convert gear

Main: Light Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Dalmatica
Hands: Zenith Mitts
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Lamia Mantle +1
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

My Convert setup needs some more fine tuning, which will be done as I get more HP/MP gear and uncurse some more Aquarian Abjurations. Puts me at 989 HP and 897 MP with double Auto Refresh. Also don't mind the NQ Staff >.>; Will get upgraded whenever money's flowing again.

Cure gear

Main: Light Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Duelist's Tabard
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Lamia Mantle +1
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

This is the setup I use for any kind of curing, gives -15 Enmity, 10% Fast Cast, the obligatory 10% Cure Potency and puts me at 1066 HP and 839 MP. Of course, there could be some improvements made, like Mahatma Cuffs, Errant Cape, some Crow gear, but already with my "multifunctional" pieces of gear I'm at 51/60 which is only going to go up as I get some more pieces of gear that I'm missing. If you're wondering why I'm not using Errant Houppelande: even though it's a nice enmity- piece I'll sell it as soon as I get my hands on a W.Body.

Dark Magic skill gear

Main: Pluto's Staff/Thunder Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Warlock's Chapeau
Neck: Dark Torque
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Duelist's Tabard
Hands: Crimson Finger Gauntlets
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Snow Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Duelist's Boots

Dark Magic skill gear, used for Aspir, Drain, Stun and Bio, 1131 HP and 811 MP. Doesn't need much explanation, of course, Thunder Staff for Stun, but that's obvious(another NQ, boooo). Fast Cast gear for Stun recast, 217 Dark Magic skill which unlocks highest Bio II tier RDM can get, so 6 DMG/tick. Could use my Glamor Jupon, get Dark Earring and Merciful Cape...but overall all that won't do much, since next Bio II tier is at 269 skill. Obvious improvements: Jupiter's staff and AF+1 Head, I guess.

Resting gear

Main: Pluto's Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Warlock's Tabard +1
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Lamia Mantle +1
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Duelist's Boots

HMP gear...kinda obvious: stack as much HMP as you can get and that's about it. +22 HmP and Auto Refresh. 1111 HP and 839 MP. Several improvements possible but no space/too lazy to get them. Mainly Yigit Head and Legs, maybe Invigorating Cape etc...forget it. :P

Kite gear

Main: Terra's Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Dalmatica
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Bomb Queen Ring
Back: Lamia Mantle +1
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Duelist's Boots

This set of gear was originally made for Gration, so it includes a great deal of Magic Defense Bonus and double Auto Refresh. Puts me at 1136 HP and 855 MP. Terra's Staff for quite obvious reasons and hmmm yeah. Of course, W.Legs missing, but you could have guessed that by yourself. :P

Stoneskin gear

Main: Mythic Wand +1
Sub: Genbu's Shield
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Grandiose Chain
Ear1: Magnetic Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Dalmatica
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring/Bomb Queen Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Duelist's Belt
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Duelist's Boots

Stoneskin gear, same HP/MP as Idle gear, puts me at 271 Enhancing Magic skill and gives +31MND, which is enough to cap Stoneskin on /DRK which has the lowest MND out of all subs. Right pic is Kite Stoneskin gear...no big change except that I put in Bomb Queen Ring since I'm using it in my Kite setup. Just posted it to be complete, but not really worth it.

Nuking gear

Main: Aquilo's Staff/Thunder Staff/Auster's Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Warlock's Chapeau
Neck: Elemental Torque
Ear1: Moldavite Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Errant houppelande
Hands: Zenith Mitts
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Snow Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Duelist's Tights
Feet: Duelist's Boots

The purpose of this set is quite obvious again, and its results can be seen in my MB contest. Puts me at 1041 HP and 793 MP, gives +14 Magic Attack Bonus, +37 INT and 267 Elemental Magic skill. Improvements would be Warlock's Chapeau +1, Crimson Scale Mail and ...Novio Earring. (lol) Of course, there's a better grip and Ammo but again...no space ; ;

Haste gear

Head: Warlock's Chapeau
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Duelist's Tabard
Hands: Dusk Gloves
Waist: Swift Belt

Used when I'm kiting or meleeing as RDM/NIN, equips all the Haste/Fast Cast gear I have and thus puts me at +20% Fast Cast, +17% Haste (maybe 18%, not 100% sure about Loquacious Earring Haste bonus). Improvements would be: Nashira Seraweels, Dusk Ledelsens and Velocious Belt.

MND Enfeebling skill gear

Main: Aquilo's Staff/Auster's Staff/Water Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Enfeebling Torque
Ear1: Enfeebling Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Warlock's Tabard +1
Hands: Devotee's Mitts
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

I use two different sets for MND based Enfeebles, it's probably not necessary and the benefits are marginal, but I've always done it, so I'll stick to it. For Silence I use as much Enfeebling skill as possible, so I prefer Wise Braconi +1 over Mahatma Slops. Puts me at 1066 HP and 794 MP, gives +33 MND, puts me at 332 Enfeebling Magic Skill along with +3 Magic ACC. Since I'm missing the two main pieces that make the difference this set is pretty useless, but once I get Nashira Seraweels and Altruistic Cape this will make more sense.

MND Enfeebling potency gear

Main: Aquilo's Staff/Terra's Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Enfeebling Torque
Ear1: Enfeebling Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Warlock's Tabard +1
Hands: Devotee's Mitts
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Mahatma Slops
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

Contrary to the previous set, this setup is used for MND based Enfeebles (Slow and Paralyze) and I can't complain about the results. Pretty constant stick rate and an acceptable Proc Rate on Paralyze. Gives 1066 HP and 774 MP, +41 MND along with 332 Enfeebling Magic Skill. Improvements to this set would be ... Communion Earring and Morrigan's gear, but not interested in Salvage and no space for Earring.

INT Enfeebling skill gear

Main: Aquilo's Staff/Auster's Staff/Pluto's Staff
Sub: Raptor Leather Strap +1
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Enfeebling Torque
Ear1: Enfeebling Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Warlock's Tabard +1
Hands: Duelist's Gloves
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Snow Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Wise Braconi +1
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

This set of gear has the same purpose as the MND Enfeebling Skill set, but it's for INT based debuffs (Bind, Gravity, Sleep, Dispel and Poison. Not much more to add, I guess. Gives 1066 HP and 803 MP, +25 INT and 332 Enfeebling Magic Skill. Improvements are the same as the MND one: Nashira Seraweels and Altruistic Cape.

Full MND gear

Main: Mythic Wand +1
Sub: Genbu's Shield
Ammo: Hedgehog Bomb
Head: Duelist's Chapeau
Neck: Enfeebling Torque
Ear1: Enfeebling Earring
Ear2: Loquacious Earring
Body: Errant houppelande
Hands: Devotee's Mitts +1
Ring1: Tamas Ring
Ring2: Aqua Ring
Back: Prism Cape
Waist: Penitent's Rope
Legs: Mahatma Slops
Feet: Mahatma Pigaches

This set of gear is used for ES-Slow II and completely stacks up on MND to enhance Slow potency. Gives 1051 HP and 730 MP, +58 MND and still puts me at 317 Enfeebling Magic skill. Improvements would be Numinous Shield +1, Misteltein, Promise Badge and 2 Communion Earrings. I'll let you guess the reason why I don't have them.

Conclusion

This was the longest LJ I've ever written and I'm happy. Even though my RDM could be a bit better I think that (at least gearwise, lol) I don't have to hide. But this is mostly the case since I moved to Bismarck and got stuff like Dalm and Chapeau which, in my oppinion require the owner to be at least above average, which a jumpy someone incited me to do...so I ditched most of my previous MP gear for more MND gear and bought HQ staves here, HQ equips there and so on. The melee and tank setups will be added when I'm in the mood since they're not all that great and not quite done yet. Hope you at least somewhat enjoyed the read. See you soon~

Update time!

2007-09-29T14:44:38Z

(*'-')

Again it's been a while since I've updated but mainly because nothing major happened. Some small goodies which made me quite happy though. Let's start with this:

3/3. Also got D.Feet not too long ago off Aspid which makes me 5/5 on Shura set, but I forgot to screenshot that :(

Then, some night we headed up to sky to pop a few gods out of fun/boredom and I managed to snag this:

Then we did a Dynamis-Buburimu and I was the only one going for RDM Belt and guess what...

6/6. Yay :D After I got that belt I changed a few of my sets and bought some gear but I'll get into that later.

I also reformed an assault static which made this possible:

6 assaults away from completing all 50 and getting Captain rank ; ; Also cleared ToAU and picked Ulthalam's ring but no pic >.>

Remember the MB contest I mentionned in a previous update? Well....I won.

Then not too long ago a close friend got lucky on another server...(well diserved) and now looks like THIS:

Grats poupinet.

While being on topic: grats also to Whimsic on his Morrigan's Slops and Herald's Gaiters :D:D:D One step closer to "finishing" BLM.

Then there's something that can barely be said in words, but I'll try. 3 months ago we started gathering coins for Jhun's Aegis and oh wonder...look what we got :D

HUGE grats to Jhun on finishing his relic and getting shadow ring the same thereby finishing his PLD, I guess. :D

HNM wise we've been dominating as always, I guess. And managed to get 3 (read three) Defending Rings out of 6 (read six) King Behemoth kills...grats to Thalia, Jeminii and last but not least Wotasu on their bling blings!!!

Since I haven't updated in ages I thought that I'll post my RDM sets too, so look forward to a huuuuge post in the following days.

I'll leave you with this and say <3 Bismarck.

Yannick

Another long due update

2007-08-20T03:24:11Z

Yet another month without updates but therefor this time...it's showtime :D

Let's start off with something completely random.

Little explanation: this was during a Dynamis-Beaucedine run, where we had to drop the glass to re-enter since the dragons that come with the Mega Boss are a pain in the ass to kill. Now, whereas this sentence isn't really anything special you should know that this comes from someone who has 5/5 WHM AF² and has around 8 months of Dynamis experience...GG.

Next up is a little personal competition I'm having with...myself. (mhm) I love landing MBs on Fafhogg and I always try to top my last MB. Here is my highest on Nid:

Whereas from a BLM point of view REALLY weak...I like it and it always make baby panda happy.

As you probably guessed, FoReal does Einherjar too and we managed to clear the whole first Wing 1 and 2 out of 3 chambers of Wing 2. We always got jack shit from the chests except that one time where...just see for yourself:

Funny story about this: when Jhun told two people to lot it, they both said "No thanks" since essentially P.Head (HAHAAHAHA Pee Head...sorry) is garbage. Jeminii ended up lotting it anyways and now we're all waiting for him to uncurse it, which is quite an ordeal since you need an synth material that is only obtained with Einherjar points, bla bla bla...I'll keep you updated.

Let's get to the loot...let's start with some "not so cool" stuff:

Got these when I helped Luci and Rupi with their MNK AF in Castle Oztroja...NM was up and unclaimed so I killed it and went 1/1...ended up selling the Necklace to the NPC. º~º)

Nothing to say. Gilfinder > everything else in this whole game.

Got this and Wyrm Beard (which I forgot to screen) on the same day for my MNK20...both auto-dropped by the way.

Onto the more interesting stuff, after numerous Dynamis-Xarcabard runs (about 40 or so?) this is the first time I saw this piece of gear drop off the corresponding NM. And it landed in my inventory with a nice 900ish lot *'-')

Only a week or so after that we did Dynamis-Beaucedine and luck was with me:

Only one lotting it, and thus making me [blingy text]FIVE OUT OF FIVE[/blingy text]!!!

And since I'm so full of myself and my awesome photoshopping (Microsoft paint actually) skillz:

Clicky!

It gets better...yes...even better.

After almost 2 years of Dynamis, seeing several hats going to waste, and leaving the shell where I was next in line for it...I GOT IT! FUCK YES!

Guess what? Five out of five again. ('-'*

Clicky again!

THANK YOU FOREAL AND DIENAMIS!

Expect the next update from B-to-the-S-mark in a month or so :D

Until then,

Bai bai.

Yannick

Long overdue update

2007-07-16T17:33:08Z

~WARNING: Wall of text incoming~

So as most likely everyone reading this knows by now, I moved to Bismarck. The decision itself, even though taken rather swiftly, was really hard since I lost A LOT of people I learned to appreciate over the course of 2 years I played on Unicorn. I try my best to keep in touch with all of those people via MSN or via my mule on Unicorn but still I notice that things aren't the same anymore, obviously :(

But I'll just continue reporting from here on, every once in a while when I feel like it. Since today I feel a lot like it I'll start:

When Fortune moved server we got a nice welcome party from the members of Unreal, Bismarck's biggest HNM shell, and we merged to form FoReal (yeah yeah...the name isn't all THAT great but the result is). We count approximately 55 members coming from a bit all over the world, mostly European/Kuwaiti people, so all events are in EU times, basically.

We've been doing all kinds of different stuff, like getting 1 Omega pop set in one run by splitting us into 4 groups, Dynamis with 50+ pimped out people etc. It's been a really cool experience. Also camping HNMs with 2 alliances, lol.

All this has netted us stuff like 2 Novio Earrings, 1 Novia Earring, W.Body, M.Body, 2 A.Body, 3 Ridills, etc.

I've also gotten lucky on a few things and have obtained some nice items.

Shortly after migrating we went for a DM run, we manaburned it down quite easily and now my NIN is finally a big step closer to being done:

This baby comes off a double Earring JoL :D

After a noob LS claimed KB and wiped to him we took over and I managed to snag one of these, since no one really needed it anymore:

Then there was that one Fafnir where I got lucky again, since no one wanted them:

And autodrop:

And, of course, I saved the best for last...after going out to the japanese restaurant with family and friends I came home quite drunk and learned that Nid had popped in my absence netting us an A.Body for Drecan. Kinda let down I went to bed for 4 hours to wake up for Aspid, we claim, kill easily and get rewarded with W. and A.Body... :D

All that in a bit less than a month... Quite impressive :x

And just because I'm bored a little picture story of A.Body D:

Click on it >.>;

THANK YOU FOREAL!

And to you readers: I'll update soonish, probably ^^

Salvage

2007-06-17T12:17:59Z

Camped Aspid and saw how wabot got claim by Raziel...I'm really looking forward to when he's getting banned :3

Headed on to do Salvage again, same one as last time, with the same drops: none.

Went out for a drink after that and went to bed sometime later.

Yannick

KB & Cerb

2007-06-16T13:27:42Z

Came home from school, check MSN shortly before eating and I see that we have gotten KB, first window, with only 8 people. So I ran as fast as I could to BD (as SAM actually :x) and had time to do 2 WS (one of them was SA-Gekko for 1300 '-';) before it netted us this:

Congrats to Whimmy on his new shiny mask :D

Went on to camp VoS and DA but no luck. Before going to bed (I had to get up at 6:20AM to write a test I had missed -_-;) I went to check on Cerb and he was up, quickly killed him with only 2 GoH going through, nothing major again.

Congrats Kirra on SORWD! and Erde on your Mantel!

Yannick

nekonaruto @ 2007-06-15T16:10:00

2007-06-15T14:14:07Z

Came home to camp Behe and he popped fairly early...someone from SP claimed and wabo stole it. Fun times.

Headed to WG and got my pearl :D Then headed to Turtle who popped early too (NQ), Tactics got.

Went on to DA and camped Dragon...was being gay and popped fairly late, but we claimed (200th Fafnir :D) and got rewarded with this:

Grats Erde!

Continued to do Salvage, my first run ever, and kinda enjoyed it...apparently we did the gayest zone there is in Salvage so meh. Went to bed at 2AM D:

Yannick

Dynamis-Jeuno

2007-06-14T14:16:20Z

Today I helped Sephi and Rikku with BLU spells as soon as I got home and boy...Taurus mobs are bitches when you want to check out forums during....................Mortal Ray ftl. Then quickly headed out to do the Assault rank up quest to get this:

Went to Jeuno and had pretty...good drops I guess, no 100 coin though.

Shortly before going to bed I saw a shout that made me laugh HARD.

Yannick

Another FFXI update

2007-06-14T14:12:46Z

Yesterday was an update that fixed some stuff and added some new stuff, nothing phenomenal though. I went to camp Faf after maintenance and aggroed a.........Darter?

Now this might sound completely impossible since they don't aggro...at least that's what I thought. I was standing around reading forums and when I tabbed back to FFXI 2 Flies were hitting me...Without doing ANYTHING, they were even white. As far as I can judge it, the same thing happened to some other people in the pit. So no clue if that's a common glitch or they just like me that much...

Yannick

Nothing special

2007-06-14T14:09:41Z

Did the usual lurking on FFXI today as so often. Then headed off to the Marilyn Manson concert here in Luxembourg, was an awesome concert, even though I was slightly disappointed my him being so "tame". No shock moments nothing...very good performance though.

Here's one of the lyrics from a song that I associate with some people that will remain unnamed. Intelligent guesses welcome ;x

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your stimple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own shit on your knees

Yannick

Dynamis-Beaucedine, Einherjar & sea

2007-06-11T14:09:52Z

Yesterday was definetely one of the more busy and fun days I've had in a while. Started off with Dynamis-Beaucedine with definetely cool AF² drops and a 100 Shell :3

Then headed out to do Einherjar which we won :3 (I even had killshot on NM :D)...lame drops but still a fun experience. We were also the first non-JP shell on Unicorn to beat it, I believe :D

Anyways...went on to do 3 Jailer of Justice which, unexpectedly, netted me this:

And Puciferu this:

Final update on GK, Usukane Legs and Divisor Ring and his SAM is done...I guess D: Maybe Cerb Mantle+1! :D Grats pute!

Yannick

Fafnir and out

2007-06-10T15:21:25Z

Camped 6 windows of Faf to see it get claimed by wabo D: Went out after that.

Dub dub dub

2007-06-10T15:11:59Z

Went out.

Yannick

KB

2007-06-10T14:44:39Z

Camped Adam some more and went to Behemoth's Dominion after that...KB popped on last window and we claimed. Took him down easily for:

The irony is that Tiamat just popped before the last window and we almost headed out. Luckily we didn't. D:

Yannick

Dynamis-San d'Oria & Adam

2007-06-10T14:34:13Z

Did Sandy with an EXTREMELY low amount of people...for our terms. 18 when we entered :/ Still got decent drops:

Then went to camp Adam a bit and he popped, and we claimed. Went to bed after.

Yannick

Update and other random cool stuff

2007-06-06T15:04:14Z

Today I logged on and afked to play FF12, at some time I got a tell asking me if I wanted to help with Cerberus, which I did.

Killed him in...I don't know what time, but no big issues nothing, 2 GoH went through but nothing devastating. Was a new experience to see a 100% solid tank PT. ^^

After that the maintenance started and I afked some more to play FF12.

Update was quite nice and I got some stuff done, like 80 space Mog Locker, accepting the new mission, and this:

Also:

Also, one thing I appreciated is that SE changed Ammunition like Hedgehog Bomb to be unthrowable...although they fucked up on one thing:

Gayest. Icon. Ever. Time to get a Fire Bomblet...I guess.

Yannick

FF12

2007-06-06T14:54:36Z

Skipped school today and played FF12 all day long, getting excited about tomorrow.

Yannick

Dynamis-Buburimu & camping

2007-06-04T10:24:45Z

Yesterday we did Bubu and only had like 29 people show up, still beat Mega boss and got some decent drops:

Congrats to everyone who got something.

From there I went to Oztroja because I was kinda bored and claimed a Mee straight away, no drop. Went out to LoO to check on Ose, not up. Went to Argus, not up. Went back to Oztroja, waited 10 seconds, pop, claim, annnnnnnnnd:

:D NIN WS setup completed except los Haidatos.

Yannick

Woop

2007-06-04T10:21:49Z

Went out and had the best fun I've had in ages with some friends, great day. Hearing about DT wiping to Kirin when I came home kinda rounded the whole thing up nicely.

Yannick

Oh well.

2007-06-02T15:26:13Z

Yesterday has been...a big day, kinda. I logged on around 1:20AM to help with Kirin. By then they were wiping to Seiryu and Genbu, it resulted in a total wipe but we managed to recover, somehow. Fight as usual from there on. Dropped W.Legs and Karalyne got them. From there we went to sea to do Omega.

I went ahead and got my soap and soloed NM as usual because I didn't want to wait. When we finally entered I stuck Slow II and Para II and my screen turned black...as did the rest of my room and also everything outside. And I was like "Great.". Apparently the festival in town resulted in a power shortage and it broke down. After trying for an hour I told myself that by now it wouldn't be worth it to try anyways. So I went to bed at around 5.

I'll do something I usually don't do which is writing about the day itself but this just disappointed me so much I can't hold back until tomorrow. I logged on this afternoon at around 2 and idled for a while talking to people on MSN and so on. After a while I hear a ding and check my tells, "Karalyne>> /"...I'll just let images talk instead of explaining it. (click on the image...bla bla you know the deal)

After that there was silence for at least an hour until Dustin logged on, which resulted in this:

Guess he couldn't stand me leaving the LS out of my own will so he kicked me...talk about spit in the face.

BLU ftl

2007-06-02T15:16:47Z

Today I helped Thom for like 7 hours with BLU spells...my wrists still bleed.

Dynamis-Tavnazia supposedly

2007-06-02T15:14:37Z

Today we were supposed to do Dynamis-Tavnazia but due to no people showing we cancelled the run. Oh well. Also started playing FFXII and like it.

Yannick
