Episode Ten: A Crystaline Fallacy
Episode 10 is here! This episodes is more WHM leveling and the A Crystaline Prophecy quest. Spoilers in the episode if you haven't done ACP but there really isn't much to spoil.
I got lucky pretty early because when I logged on for the week Byson was shouting for an ISNM 3000, the puk fight. I joined that and got the go first, much to my pleasent suprise I ended up getting my drops.
Finally! They were going for 370k on the AH but I undercut for 340k (bit me). The BLM went afk and pretty much killed the run after only two attempts but I didn't really care since I got what I came for. I bought the lvl 68 WHM body piece with the cure potency on it. I did another run a few days later and got Khroma ore again, that was nice 400k in my pocket.
I'll finish the show notes later...

Episode 9: Dynamis Defeat
Episode 9 is out, and these show notes are like a week late, lol. I actually started recording the next podcast and then I remembered that I hadn't even done the notes for this one ><. This show is fairly uneventful. Nothing all that special happened but I figured I might aswell update anyway. The podcast was down for a few days, cuz' I was flat broke and tried to shut it off before I was billed. The feed is back up and I hope that it didn't cause any problems for anyone trying to check the podcast out.
I mentioned this last week but I talk about my failed Zilart Mission 16 fight. I haven't retried it yet but I'm still hopeful that I'll get it done sometime soon. I also did a few a Nyzul runs. I called a guy Oromusha in the podcast but his name is Oroshimar, whatever...he still stood in front of Cerberus and got himself killed.
Did another Nyzul run but nothing dropped that time either. Depressing but I haven't given up yet. On a positive note I finally got my WHM AF body. I was lvl 67 when I got the lvl 60 peice but hey, at least I have it. I took a nice screenshot of me posing when I acquired my body piece but I didn't actually have Fraps open, oops! This random picture of my back will have to suffice.
Did Dynamis San d' Oria a couple of times and neither went well. We got the clear and wiped on the first run, the second run was pure crap. We weakened the boss but we just weren't able to take him. We had a BLM d/c when the puller brought in a train of mobs with the boss. I think we would have beaten the boss had the BLM not d/c but you never know. The big question is was it chance or did she do it on purpose?
I spent most of my time leveling WHM. I tried to get SCH to 35 by soloing but that only ended with me dying repeatedly. And that was pretty much my week (or two).

Nothing much up
I've pretty much just been leveling my WHM. I woke up Saturday morning, logged in at around 9:00 A.M and with the exception of a few breaks I played until like 2 A.M on Sunday. Currently my WHM is setting at 68 with exceeds my goal of hitting 67 by the end of the week. I'm pretty suprised by that but I'm glad at the same time. I guess I'm gonna shoot for 70 by next weekend but I'm not sure if I'll make it because I'm moving next week and my SCH is at 34, meaning I'll need to spend at least a day getting that up to 35. However I think it'd probably be best to aim for 37 on SCH just to have it done and out of the way.
On the podcast front, not really feeling like recording a show at the moment. Considering I mostly just xp'd on WHM until my eyes hurt, lol. I did do a Dynamis but that wasn't too exciting. I'll probably do something some time this week though.

Episode Eight: A Gentleman and a SCH
Alrighty, I'm back. My first recorded show since returning so I go over pretty much the last few blog posts and my experiences since. I was kinda pissed because I recorded the podcast on Wednesday/Thursday morning but after I had everything done and edited I ended doing a ZM 16 run that I would have loved to talk about on the show but I wouldn't have been able to get the show up before I went to work if I had done that cuz' I was cutting it pretty close as it was.
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.
Everything is going fine
We try to rest after first form and he teleports to us
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!
At least I got to see a cool cutscene
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.

Oh, did I say Sunday?
Yeah, I was intending to do a show Sunday but I ended up playing Final Fantasy all day. Was gonna then record it Monday but I ended up playing Final Fantasy until I went to work. I started recording today but the party I had ran too long so I wasn't able to finish the recording before I had to get ready for work. So, I may have the episode up Wednesday. Kinda hard to say cuz' I need to watch the last episodes of Heroes and WCG Ulimate Gamer, fit FFXI in, and do the podcast on Wednesday. Tough to say if I'll be able to.

New Episode probably on Sunday
I picked up a cheap microphone and was all ready to record something but then my internet kinda went bye-bye for a couple of days. I'm supposed to have a Dynamis run Saturday unless something has changed so I'll probably try and toss something up on Sunday.
