I'm back :3
current mood: cheerful
current song: Endlessly - MUSE
Meh, slacked off big time. Was pretty upset last time I updated and I needed time to fix some issues online and irl. Specially all caught up with my new job at Wendy's I almost lost all my playtime. Was done with the job and moved down to Florida and everything's going off really smooth up to now. A lot has happened in FFXI so I guess I'll explain shortly here. Don't really wanna jump into details with everyone so if you need anything else, just contact me or something :).
So where to begin...
Shortly after my last post, I found an update, was no big deal but we had new gear and craft recipes going on.... shortly I became the first Mohbwa scarf in the server, but not only the first one, but I HQd it... decided not to sell it, then the markets got overloaded so I sent mine off... made a bit of gil but materials were scarce so I couldn't do much afterwards... everything seemed to be getting shape in game... I was starting to have fun again.

Went visit ol' Al Zahbi and I found myself in between new mobs from level 6 Besieged. Was pretty funny... we lost Astral Candy so quick it wasn't even funny lol. Meh, I didnt put much attention to it anyway, I've always hated besieged D:.
My good friend Trazz called me for a U/O run, she wanted to get sea and all.. and well I had plans with her in doing stuff like Limbus.. so I said hey sure lets do it... was pretty easy since we won 1/1. Shortly after this she got sea on her own, but up to date I've never gotten to do anything with her up there =( bah.
Went with Snickers get some merits on Imps... and found myself with the new Merit Point animation, was pretty gay, no little cool music or anything, screw you S-E.
At this point of time, I started really disliking my LS... there was always this huge drama going on... and people who named themselves friends trying to leave the LS or the game for retarded reasons. I seriously paid much attention to it because that's just the way I am.. but it really got old fast.... I hate to see people go and stuff... =/ But w/e.
Made another one of these babies for Freedom in PhantomBrigade LS... he's been bothering me about it for a while... it's a pity that the first thing he did when I gave it to him was erase the sign, it really hurt, but w/e, them japanese can do crazy stuff at times *sigh*.
Started doing my last wander around the game, to be honest, lots of drama was going on in life and I needed a break... so before I left, mr Steelflece popped on me.. so I called some people quick and well.. even tho I didn't need any help, we took it down with no effort at all... stupid title before my departure I guess lol.
Spying on the AH I was suspecting prices of everything to go down quick... so I made a quick decision... purchase a Kirin's Osode since I was pretty rich at that point in time...
It was pretty expensive I guess, but I really wanted one.... meh.
Nekoarashi... heh, guess she came back for a while... we hung out for a while... things were going smooth but some ridiculous stuff happened.. pretty personal, but lets just say that for my own and other's safety... I took everything from her account and sold it... the money? Gave it off... not like I'd give a living crap about money really. So sold some of my RDM and BLU gear to get these 3 babies later on... right before I quit for a bit.
Then the break came... it was mainly to find my new job, to make and search other sources of money, to settle down some other things on life, like college, new apartment, etc. Everything went really well. Shortly after that, I started missing the game hardcore... short? maybe a month? meh that's alot to me =p. But anyways.. came back... to find myself in a massive clean up of people in the linkshell.. almost everyone was new, and I really felt uncomfortable. I had left them to be in another LS with neko before, but they let me back in... honestly they would never stop bothering me about it... reason 2 was because of the legs they gave me... and reason 3, i really really missed my friends, Trazz, snickers, imoen, and windtalker.... So I gave it a try.
Was really really broke at this point, so I went off to do some Limbus to get me started again, triod it.. came out with 15 coins each, was really nice x).



Shortly after that, we did some KS99 as a LS, which was pretty nice to meet up with other people and build strategies. Came to be the first Behe KS99 I've won. Was a good experience.


People have been complaining why I keep quitting and stuff... well seeing this really makes me frustrated. Lol.
But w/e, I'll keep on playing :D.
Will have to admit, coming back to the game took me a bit, I was feeling super emo, and well that's just the thing I need to take away from myself. Suddenly I was thinking of permanently selling my account... leaving forever, because sometimes that's just the best answer, to run away from problems, to just give up... all sudden, a person started talking to me which I didn't know at all... cheered me up pretty much... and when I checked that person, it left a message I'll never forget.
True words :/
So I found an awesome shout in Jeuno, someone actually selling a Sha'ir Manteel. Somehow I convinced him to trade it off with me for a Kirin's Osode... and I got it... and boy... I've never gotten less than chain 100 in a party ever since.... Will never regret it :D.
I got so happy that I got my party killed :).

Finally completed RDM merits, now it was time to get some more stuff going on.. I still have like 200 merits to go, but w/e. I'll get them. Someday.
Neko came back out of no where... and well, after proven a misunderstanding, I really felt bad about what I've done, so I made my effort to get her all her stuff back, sold some of my HQ staves and the work was done. We went help some noobs around I guess, there was really nothing else to do...
Went trying to farm some money for her... but really no luck.. ever since the update the money making has been crappy.. and everyone's been raiding the pop NM zones... I've really had no chance.
So Neko started doing her own stuff... and well even though I'm not materialist, I suck at losing. And well I wanted a competitive place where I could own stuff and be active so I could escape my stuff irl, which is the whole point of this game for me in the first place. Best friend Arvin and Hobbes bothered me alot to apply to the LS Scrubs, which is composed mostly by old Paradise Oblivion, one of the top LS of all times. So I threw away my chance... and well they asked me to come camp some turtle.... a few days later, I was accepted :).
I got millions of stuff thrown down at me from MythrilHeart... and I can't believe some people put friendship on the line when it comes to changing linkshells.... most of them don't want to talk to me for this reason, it's really stupid.. but if that's their decision, I can't really consider them as true friends, it's just retarded....
Arvin convinced me to start crafting again, he really has worked wonders with me.. and well, let the crafting begin again?
^_^
This was wonderful... we were in middle of an extremely good merit party.. when all the sudden one of the members in the LS announces Fafnir is up and running around free... so we got there in an incredible ammount of time and well... :)

So much time since I killed Faf... it was a nice return, enjoyed it pretty much. We were the only ones there for ToD... so the next day would be the same. Lololol. Also.. we took it down in an incredible 10 minutes or so... I really felt the power of a potential LS. I'm proud I'm here.
RANDOM DAT SCREWING

Lol.
Went to do some KSNM.... I was the first to go... we really took it all down with no effort... me doing most the job.. BLU kills so fast :3.
Screwed up drops... but w/e.... everyone else got a decent ammount of money :/ *sigh*.
Remember that fafnir I told you about? yep.. again. :D
Crappy drops.. but it went down even faster than the previous day... it was quite a fight :D.
On our way back to Whitegate.. I finally proved why this game is so damn broken...
w/e.
Next day... Nidhogg popped... I could not believe my eyes. We got it... it was my first Nidhogg ever... and wow... what a beast... but it had nothing on us.. it went down so quick.. I totally loved the experience.




E BODY!!!
Tarutaru Gavin got our first ebody... grats to him.
There was 15 minutes left on the Behemoth window.. so we all rushed there... we had about 10 people there to claim.. and...
BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA
Double king day :D. Went on BLU for cannonballing.. and it was so well worth it... check out some of the screenshots.




About crapped myself when this happened.
Spoils of war....
A-feet from KB? not understandable... so everyone was asking who wanted them.. I said I did... because I really did want them for my RDM or BRD/WHM.... had a high lot... but well...
Aldwin decided to do something at last second and he got them... he would never use them after that.... but I guess there will be more :/... Bleh.
Next day we would go to what would be my first Dynamis-Xarc... we got 5 AF drops.... it was really nice!
Think the thing I love about Scrubs the most is the merit parties.. they're all so good to party with.... but not much for the skill.. but for the fun we always have.. haha
Somehow I decided that I needed to be charmed.... seemed like a bad idea =(...
Lol xDDDDD

Got about 40 merits that week.. capped sword.... and other stuff... more to come soon I guess.
Went MNK burn this ENM... crap drops, but really cool way to make money.
Tried the all new Einherjar for some abjurations... didn't go.. quite.. well. Lol..
S-E is real clever you know? They don't only make it a pain to get Kindred Seals... but they use the stupidest names for the toughest mobs... Not only that.... instead of assuring 1 good drop... they give you nothing but crap.... I hate S-E..... -.-

After that.... some weeks passed.... I was in middle of my moving... it was awesome... but they received me back with a melee burn Kirin.. which I found out to be very efficient, fast, and really really fun.

Tried getting some kitty pants for our ninjas... but it was stingy...
Been doing much with Scrubs ever since I joined.... but really have been laying back doing nothing because of school and work... trying to settle down in Florida right now, but it'll all be well, I plan coming back full time to game again in no time, just trying to clear my mind off stuff... but for now I think I'm done til the next time... I really really forgot half the stuff I was supposed to type here.. but w/e, pictures always talk more than words right? :D Hope you enjoyed them all... I'll keep this updated when I can.
