Dynamis Windurst victory!
I've spent most of these few days meriting and looking for party. Finally capped my Store TP merits on Samurai and I'm currently unsure on what I'm going to spend my remaining points on. Going to wait and see what Square Enix is going to do with "Warding Circle" and other simular abilities with the next update before I spend anymore points on SAM.
I attempted to stock up on Allied Notes for the update aswell but as usual there were bearly any fights going on so it seemed like a waste of time. I've been pretty excited for this Sunday since last week because the linkshell I joined, Weaponry, was supposed to be doing a Windy run (which I needed), however I noticed on Friday that they were doing Beaucedine instead. I was pretty bummed but not overly suprised cuz' that kinda crap happens to me all the time. My blues vanished when I noticed that the crappy shell I joined for Einherjar was doing a Windy run that Sunday. So, I figured great, I can tag along with them and get the clear, then run with my normal shell next week.
However, when we were getting ready to do our run on Sunday another LS named Illuminados took our spot. LS members bitched and moaned cuz' our leader had reserved the space on some website but those schedualer sites are pointless since they aren't sanction by SE. As soon as word came down that the other shell would get in before us I started feeling pretty down. The shell decided to go do Sandy but I had no intrest in doing San d'oria again so I said f-it and asked the leader of the shell that stole our spot if I could do the run since it's the last city I needed to be caught up with my current Dynamis shell. This is how that went.
Now, If I understood what he type correctly, first he says I can come, then he tells me that he won't invite me because one of the members in his shell doesn't want me to come. He then tells me if I give him 3 million gil I can come and I just have to trust that this complete stranger will give it all back at the end of the run. Needless to say, even if I had that kind of cash I wouldn't have been stupid enough to hand it over to this shady fellow, so, I just warped back to Whitegate and sat around feeling sorry for myself for a bit.
After an hour or two I couldn't shake the desire to get Dynamis Windurst completed today so I ran back to Windy, set my search comment to ask if I could tag a long and sat down next to the entrence. I ended up sitting there for a looooong time. I watched the last episode of Breaking Bad, played some BlazBlue, and excerised to the kill the time. Finally when I about to start my crunches a large group of people had amassed so I braced myself and asked the leader of Overkill, Overlordkain, if I could tag along with his shell. I got no response and thought he was just ignoring me but it turned out that he just missed my tell while he was getting everything organized. After debating a little bit on how we were going to do it, he just ended up giving me a glass and a pearl and I did the whole run.
I was somewhat confused by what he wrote until Terrasii handed me a pearl. My inventory was full so I had to toss my InsaneBrotherz (a.k.a. crappy Einherjar shell) to make space but I think I'll live.
Right off the bat I had a good feeling about this shell because they were tearing through the mobs with little difficulty and the route they took through the stage was different then the one I've taken every other time I've done this run. Things were going pretty smooth but we did eventually wipe...twice in a row. I started to doubt that we were going to win but we still had time so I stuck with it. It wasn't too long after that when I saw a giant statue crossing a bridge and knew victory was close at hand. The SOB got a couple of hits on me but I managed to survive get the clear.
Now I just have to hope Weaponry fails their Beacudine run so that they'll have to do it again next week and I can get the clear there too :)

What I've been up to
I put together a Nyzul Isle floor 100 run on Saturday with Thebluedragon, Shortkiller, Vanin, Mirya, and Haublice. Much to my suprise we ended up scoring a Denali head which I had sole lotting rights too so I gleefully took it. I didn't feel as pumped as I did when I got my Askar head a few weeks ago but it still felt good and I was a little giddy for awhile because I was on Samurai so I couldn't equip it which lead to me constantly opening my inventory to look at it. After the first run ended, some people wanted to go again so we decided to do a floor 80 run. Thebluedragon left (I think he was out of tags) and we picked up Windraker and made another attempt. We beat the boss but we failed to get an armor drop. We had aquired a couple of ??? items but Haublice logged off quickly after we exited and took those items with him.
Later that day, still pumped from my earlier succes I joined up with Illucid, Eiana, Ririanne, Vaashe, & Jadeshadow to do a floor 20 run. It was an abysmal failure because Illucid and Jadeshow aggroed seemingly every gear in the stage ON PURPOSE, giving us all kinds of penalties and wasting a ton of time. Why they didn't just avoid the gears in beyond me but we ended up not even clearing the floor because of them. The first floor. They wanted to go again but I quickly jumped ship.
Why are you attacking the gears?
I've also joined a couple more linkshells. Weaponry, which is a Dynamis shell and Insanebotherz which is a Dynamis/Einherjar shell. Figured I haven't done endgame in so long I might aswell just suck it up and take what I can get instead of looking for something that has idea times for me. Weaponry is point based which I hate especially since I can only do one run a week with them due to work. But I figured even if it's points based I'll get some gear as apposed to nothing like I have been getting without a shell. Insanebrotherz I joined for Einherjar which I haven't done yet but we are preping for a run as I type this. *edit* Total failure *edit*
Some other stuff I've been messing around with is getting my polearm leveled. It's high enough now that I can use it in merit parties which is what I've been doing. Including one with Cobrazzzzzz who is the gimpiest person gearwise that I've partied with in awhile.
As far as I know he had the same gear on at all times. Full time dex rings THF af at 73. Is here main handing a theives knife in an xp party?...wow.
My polearm is currently at 238 and I'm guess it caps around 257 so I'm not that far off. I feel so stupid for waiting so long to level it but I'm glad I finally got around to it. Penta thrust is so awsome that now I want to level DRG to use Drakesbane. I also messed around with RDM a little bit. I'm working on getting Deathblossom unlocked. I'm still a ways away but at least I've gotten it started. I'm guessing I'll have it unlocked in a couple of days if I spend a little time on it here and there.
I also got my Askar body on sunday. I did the run as WHM which scared me quite a bit because I'm not a good healer but everything ended up working out okay. I didn't think we were going to make it because we had a few floors with chariots and one floor where job abilities were restricted but we managed to prevail and defeat the boss with a few minutes to spare. My thanks to Hirronimus, Malakz, Elsar, Seipher, Badmidou.
I can finally wear something other then a hauby!
And lastly I did my first Dynamis in ages. It was a Jeuno run and I ended up coming as WHM in an alliance-less party (ouch, my pride). Things started of real bad with a bunch of deaths and few near wipes but after a bit everyone got their stuff together and things started to run smooth. Sadly this shell has it's obligatory asshole, this one is named Astiar. He sent a few misstells insulting members in the shell and spent a good 10 minutes going on and on about how much better one linkshell member was over another. I wanted to toss my pearl right then and their. I can't stand people like that and I've quite shells before due to it in the past. I decided to tough it out though, it might just be an off night and I can give the shell and the guy another chance. If this kinda thing is a regualr accurance and Astiar doesn't get kicked I'm probably gonna bounce.
Quite the gentleman
Anyway, things were going smoothly (gameplay wise) until we got down to the last 30 minutes. We were making our way to the boss when we had a huge link and we ended up wiping. We were unable to recover in time and the run ended in failure. Didn't really matter to me because I have that clear but I'm a little worried about Dynamis Windurst. I still need Windy and if this shell can't beat Jeuno then they may not be able to handle Windurst either. Time will tell. Congrats to Shillelagh, Valesca, Mannabirds, and Zula for the gear this aquired.

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.
