Warrior gets the nod


BLM:68 WHM:54 Summoner: 32 WAR:56 THF:70

I had planned to get an XBOX and play Oblivion for a while during the time I spent looking for groups(lfg) to party with. My WAR/THF is clearly the slowest of my characters to get invites now. But he isn't gimp by any means. I have his Royal Chainmail and Darksteel Claymore +1 all in tow. I have a stack of Bream Sushi in reserve as well and I am saving the Sole Sushi +1 that Inverno gave me to use with my WAR in a party since it will help him the most.

I sent a lot of pictures to my mailbox and lost a lot of them probably because I sent them too fast. It's frustrating to lose so much hard work in so short a time.

I need to find some time to get my BLM leveled up to 70 so that I have no more excuse to put off my Maat fight with THF. I am so lackadaisical sometimes. If LB4 wasn't so easy, I probably would still be level 65.

I have worked recently to get my Leviathan avatar quest opened. I really want to get him done and get Fenrir out of the way. I was lucky to hear from Shanisasha that the Yagudo Necklaces quest in Windy Woods is solely for the purpose of Norg fame, which is where the Leviathan quest is opened. I spent 2 full days almost buying up Yag Necklaces and farming in Giddeus. With luck, tonight someone will be doing Leviathan.

I have several stories to tell about my recent missions in COP which are many and I used to have a lot of pictures all set to go, but I lost them. I will have to find them somehow from my trash bin and resucitate them for use again.

Blogger is also messed up for my other computer, so now I am required to do my updates at the desk instead of in my room. It's all for the best though since it is much easier to type at the desk than with a cordless keyboard.

Norton Antivirus sucks. Don't ever buy it. I had McAfee Antivirus and thought well maybe cuz Norton is more well known they would be less "update-demanding" than McAfee. I was wrong.

The most ANNOYING thing in the world is working well with your party and getting ready to ship off and get a quest done and suddenly BAM, a pop-up from your very own Antivirus software has kicked you out of full screen mode and kicked you out of the game. I eventually learned how to bypass this with McAfee but with Norton I haven't got it yet. What's worse is that this new virus has come onto my new computer and started messing with the font. Since I haven't been on any porn sites or musicmatch BS raggedy websites that started up yesterday, I know that Norton themselves must be "insisting" that I update my Virus Protection for a nice fat fee.

Promyvion OH!


BLM:68 WHM:54 Summoner: 32 WAR:56 THF:70

Today was the magic day. I tried to get Promyvion-Mea done with my pals but lost the first time. We went with me as a SMN, Taria as a WAR and Nomadic as another WAR and everyone else was pickup. We had SMN WHM WAR WAR BLM WAR. The last WAR was Nomadic who I helped with winning the thing but we spent a lot of time farming animas and getting everyone some animas to throw at the thing to affect it.

People that don't farm animas to get Promyvion-Mea done don't wanna win it that badly and you really are gonna need the secret weapon out there to offset the boss's favorite word... CHEESE! Ya that's right it's CHEESE!

The boss doesn't care if you have been nice to people in your linkshell, he doesn't care if you show up everyday to talk and joke with your linkshell mates, he wouldn't give a rat's ass to hear you say /hello, he wants you dead and he's gonna use AOE Carousel 2 to 3 times in row and do 150 dmg, each time, at level 30, to all of you, even though you are able to may hit for 120 from a weaponskill. That's Cheese.

Animas are anti-cheese. Depending on the anima you can stop the boss from moving, stop it from using AOE effects, and even stop it from using special attacks. It's in your best interest to farm. If you lose the Promy, the best thing you can do is quit. go farm for an hour and prepare to get up there again and be there 2 hours later, it will probably take you that long to get those things all done.

Anyway getting back to the point, we WON the Promyvion finally. I got Taria and Daftorious their access to Lufaise Meadows and we did it all due to Shanisasha who was a BIG help and wonderful through and through.

Usually I add a sidecrack at this point but nah. Blogger is having problems prob due to a virus I am having with the date. See you next time.

Streetlamp in Bibiki Bay


BLM:68 WHM:54 Summoner: 32 WAR:56 THF:70

I have recently spent a lot of time leveling my BLM relative to my THF and feel that perhaps it is best to make my BLM my main after it hits 70. On the other hand, the linkshell already has a lot of 75 BLMs and could probably use a 75 THF more. Tough call. I am gonna have to put off spending too much on BLM for the time being. I really want to get my Penitent's Rope and Black Cloak too, but it's not necessary. I do a pretty good job with just your basic AF gear.

This picture is of the Catoblepas camp in Bibiki Bay at dusk. It kind of looks like a streetlamp is lighting the way huh?
