The intro song is an old Playonline song for those of you who are confused. I had intended to do something much more grand but it would require a lot of editing and I'm pretty lazy. Maybe I'll have it ready for the next episode (probably not). I more or less spent the last weekend leveling WHM and SCH. My attempts at soloing on SCH while waiting for a party didn't go so well.
I also needed the new WHM spells if I was gonna level that up. Being poor I figured I'd try and farm at least one. I got Auspice without too much trouble but since I was already in Castle Oztroja, I figured I'd make an attempt at getting the Ochimusha Kote from Mee Deggi the Punisher while I was at it. I waiting about 30 minutes then a different NM popped and somebody killed it. I said f-it and left. I hate camping NMs.
I've made an attempt at getting back into endgame since my return. Just looking for 1 weekend run at the moment. I had joined a shell that a guy named Zeake was shouting for after the shell that Spardathedark had changed it's date. Zeake ended up not making his own shell and joining another shell named "SerenityBlue" and to just give him a tell for a pearl or show up Saturday for the run. So I log in on Saturday ready to do Dynamis but noticed that Zeake was in Sandy instead on Jeuno. So, I shoot him a tell and tells me he bailed on that shell. So, there I am ready to go with no Dynamis shell. I was tempted to go to Jeuno and see if I could get into SerenityBlue at the last minute but I figured screw it. Since then I have joined two shells. SocialOutcasts with is supposed to be a casul shell but when I put on the shell it already had events set and they were at times that I couldn't attend. I'm not sure about this shell yet but I guess time will tell. The other is BouncingSoul, a dynamis shell. I just got the pearl this morning so I don't know if it'll be any good or not. I'll find out Sunday.
So, anyway, after I got Auspice and bought a few spells and got my SCH to 34, I went back to leveling WHM. I'm currently at 64, about half way to 65. I tried campaign after the update that nerfed the amount of xp you get from beating on fortifications and got a whopping 172 xp after probably 8 minutes of attacking a wall...why does SE do such stupid things? Anywho, the xping was pretty standard fair no real problems. I did get pretty annoyed at the last party I had because there was a DNC and BRD who kept healing the PLD which made me almost useless. I guess I shouldn't complain but I'd like to do something more then cast haste, I can do that on my RDM. As fate would have it the new LS I joined, SocialOutcasts, mentioned that someone was shouting for ZM 16 in Whitegate. I asked Rdragonfly if he had room, he said yes, and I imediately started looking for a replacement. It took a little while but I managed to find a 60 RDM (we were synced to 61). Dude ended up dying on the way to the camp so I had to go raise him. It took forever to find him because he had been running the wrong way but I finally managed to R2 him. He was decked out in melee gear and wearing pants that appeared to be scale mail...I hope to Altana I was mistaken or he was just dressed like that for fun. Either way, it was the party's problem not mine :)
So, I get to Whitegate and Rdragonfly, who I've been in a endgame shell with before, invites me. I immediatly start panicing because I thought I had triggered all the cutscenes I needed but my mission title was wrong. I was all ready to drop and go cry in a corner but Rdragonfly was patient and told me to just go talk to Gilgamesh and join everyone in Sky. I do so (which is when I realize I had already done it) and head off to sky after waisting 30 minutes of everyone's time. The run to the BCNM went pretty fast an easy aside from some weapon aggro. Luckily nobody died.
When we arrive at the BCNM our setup is Rdragonfly (SAM), Jophen (SAM), me (SAM), Sirax (DRK), Alrahal (NIN), and Esiga (RDM). Rdragonfly explains that the stratgey is pretty much just to spam Tachi: Gekko over and over again until the NM is dead. Works for me. Very quickly a few of the party members go down, I don't know what killed them, I just kept spaming my weapon skills and hoped for the best. We ended up taking out the first form pretty easily but about 10 seconds after we started resting for the next half, we realized that the boss doesn't wait for you and just attacks.
We probably would have won but the RDM didn't have reraise. I don't know if he just didn't cast it or if he died, hopped back up, and died again. Regardless things seemed like there were going to work out, we had him about half way to death, I was just about to used meditate and weaponskill him when he puts us all to sleep. After that he just takes his sweet time killing us off one by one and ending the run. It was a nice attempt and I went to give it another go, next time that sucker is mine!
I logged in today but due to maintainace I realized I wouldn't be able to level white mage. I saw someone shouting for Nyzul floors 56-60 which I need so I accepted that. Ramzat, Seipher, Beartooth, Ichlgo, Oroshimaru and myself grabbed our orders and gave it a go. I thought the party was going to end in failure real quick because it took a while to clear the first floor which was a lamp floor and people kept aggroing stuff. But after that things went pretty smooth even when SE hit us with another lamp floor. We ended up fighting Cerberus and he went down pretty easily. For whatever reason Oroshimaru stood right in front of Cerberus instead of at it's feet like we told him too and died. We still managed to win pretty easily. Sadly on the RNG weapon, Quicksilver, dropped. I was hopping for Denali hands but I need the floors cleared so I was happy with just the win. That's pretty much it for this update. Gameplan is keep messing with WHM and hopefully have a good Dynamis run.
