Xugpy's Journal

Big update

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 07:32:12 GMT

Been awhile on this, so I'm gonna try to work this Livejournal cut thing =P

Dynamis-Qufim with Manaburn. Overall was pretty dry, only 4 drops.. but one went to me! Yay WHM Pants

Missed the Dynamis-Glacier run with SML.. Sleep schedule was all messed up.

Dynamis-Bubu with Manaburn was another slow one.. gogo CoP. Only 3 AF2's

Dynamis-Windurst with SML was pretty good! We only had 20 people for the majority of the run, but we came out with 10 AF2.. and only one was junked. RNGx3 WHMx2 DRKx2 SMN SAM and BLM. Aurik has hax lots and got the BLM with another 900+ lot. Cass got the SMN legs and completed her for 5/5 SMN AF2! oh, and

FULL WHM AF2!! 6/6

Going to Xarc next week, so lets pray for some THF RDM BLM action prz!

Got the final cs for Apoc Nigh in Norg, which came out in /cheer

Woke up late for a limbus run, so Wottles and I went to duo Apollyn NW King run. Took this pic on the way there... thought it looked nice.

Picture at the top level. The behemoth kinda trapped in there lol

We ended up with 35 coins total but no good AF2 materials. Got the KB down to 10%... One more BLM or a refresher and we would win pretty easily. I have 83 ABC's now... I think I'll just hold on to them for awhile incase someone needs a loan, since I can't really make use of a Brutal earring for awhile.

Got bored so I unlocked lolPUP!
Took this picture during one of the scenes.. Kinda liked it

Probably just the AF2 pants that I had just won lol.

EXP
After unlocking PUP I wanted to try it some, so broke out some noob gear and took it for a spin. Ended up playing with a lot of my lv1 jobs while I was at it.
PUP 0 => 7
DRK 2 => 7
DRG 1 => 13

Also got around to playing with my BLU some more. Went out with Sols' PUP, Madherk and Isachan's DRK's, and a random NIN. We all got two levels pushing my BLU to 26, 1k to 27. Might try again one day later this week after work.

Merits
I've been fairly busy on puddings, working on MP Merits.

Had an EXP PT on my BRD for the first time in a month... 2BRD 2NIN RDM and THF out in Uleguerand Range to PL Aurik's NIN. He dinged 72 during, so not much further for him. Got 3.5merits during, so only 65k left to cap MP merits!

Ok I think that's it, gonna pass out since its 2am and work is soon =(

Midweek update

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 04:56:40 GMT

Monday~

Dynamis Bastok
All in all pretty smooth run. Killed everything, then the boss. Then farmed everything back to the mog house and behind the AH. 8 total AF2, but only half were actually wanted drops =(

Here's a few Xugpy TH Kills

3rd SAM AF2 of the night lol

Tuesday~

Mannequin
On Monday I logged on to find some messages from Tisiphenie that she had found some mannequin hands that I was looking for, so I was finally able to turn in the whole set. Talked to the Mithra in Mhaura again today for this...
Also bought the female Hume while I was there.
Whole thing cost me 50k(head) + 100k(hands) + 50k(legs) + 10k(feet) with the body coming from BCNM drop. So 210k for the whole thing... not too bad considering some people were trying to sell the body/hands for 300k each.

Apoc Nigh
Got together with some of the people I climbed promy's with over the weekend to complete the final BCNM for my new earring.
Our setup was:
Xugpy- BLM/WHM
Cassanda- SMN/WHM
Wottles- RDM/DRK
Tritoch- BRD/WHM
Madherk- RNG/WAR
Bmilker- NIN/WAR

We did a dry run, which lasted all of 2 minutes lol. Had some miscommunication on what the plan was, but got it all sorted out for the 2nd run, in which we planned to burn 2hrs on the little brother to zerg him down fast. We had Bmilker voke and kite the older brother, while Madherk basically solo'd the younger brother with the help of Soul Voice and Chainspell Stun. It was something like WS > Barrage > EES > WS > TP wing > WS > Dead. Crazy lol. Just kited the big one as we slowly chipped his hp down.
Yay killshot!
and yay to getting Magnetic Earring tomorrow!

Proto-Ultima
SML's first Ultima. It went really smooth, only like 3 people died before the final 10%. Almost lost the killshot on this, but Aurik ate a last second Citadel Buster that let me steal it from him =)

I think we killed in something like 30minutes, just taking it real easy since it was the first Ultima for a lot of us. Next time can probably get some chest farming done beforehand.
Drops:

Grats to Aurik and Cassanda on the new elemental magic shoes!

BLU EXP!

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 06:12:29 GMT

Saturday~
Got bored before Limbus. Popped after first PH kill.

0/1 gogo

Limbus
No shots from limbus, but we did the beastmen kings for the final chip needed for Ultima. All set for that on Tuesday. Will be my first win on that =)

Lufaise Meadows round2!
LS went to fight Kurrea again, this time with a revamped strat... and we took him down np! I guess its 100% drop? or we are very lucky since we went 5/5.
Grats to Seraphlord, Gacktcamui, Vector, and Bunnykillah on the new pants!
After Kurrea we tried an Amaltheia, but too many people had already left and we had to let it depop =(

Sunday~

Blue Mage EXP
Got some friends together, Madherk(DRG) Aneus(SAM) and his mithra Jinglebel(MNK) and went to tear up Qufim Island. Noticed something suspicious when we first got there...

Thats a lot of naked Mithra.

Anyway, got to EXP'ing..., followed very shortly by aggroing of a Banshee that Tienmu totally ignored =( What a jerk
. Just stands there and watches me die and delevel.

The others had hit 24, so we went out to the first jungle for the end of the party.
Would have liked to keep going, but had to stop for Promy climbing for Apoc Nigh.

Promy Climbing
Got about 8 from LS and 4 friends and started climbing the promy's in hopes to be one step closer to Magnetic Earring. The first two ones we went into we found a newbie group wanting to alliance, and we did, just to see what kind of nice macros they had. Was good for some laughs, shoulda got some screenshots of them lol. Got all three without much excitement. 4x SMN tear those MR's up.

BCNM20
After getting an Apoc Nigh CS in Jeuno, Solsovly wanted to get some people to BCNM20 with him for mannequin parts, which I was really interested in since I was already collecting the peices where I could. Got Cass to come with since she has like 300+ seals from general SMN'ing lol. Got my RDM/NIN geared up in all the stuff I had from BLU earlier, and went to fight some crabs! Lost the first orb, but won the last two pretty easily. Didn't take any pics during, but here is my treasure pool. The Mannequin Body is 100% drop, which is crazy considering people have been trying to sell it to me for 500k.

This put me 3/5 on a mannequin, short the hands and legs, so off to Rolanberry Fields! First bazaar I checked had legs for 50k, so bought those up asap!
No luck on the hands tonight >< but I noticed a good deal in a bazaar while hunting.

AH price on these are 1.2m atm, and lowest price has been 1m even. Just store these on Tienmu until it SAM time =) Getting ahold of these inspired me to get other SAM gear back. Went to buy a Federation Kyahan to see none on AH, and feeling frisky I ran to Windy with some synth materials to get a Terra's Crystal.
Yay HQ! First blue box signed by me =P
Only missing a few peices now.. mostly waiting for more to be on AH so I can get cheaper, since I'm in no hurry to lvl SAM until I get a Soboro.

More Xarc! and other stuff!

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 06:22:56 GMT

Tuesday~Limbus
Boring run, not too good on the coins. We are now one run away from Ultima.. Might get that chip on Saturday to set him up for next Tuesday.
Wednesday
Sols wanted to get people together to fight Kurrea for some new pants. First pop went really well, real smooth
Grats Sols!

Next 2 pop were really mean! Lost both items =( My highlight was...

Thursday
Worked on getting Cass the remaining items needed for Opo-Opo Crown. Got Wottles to guide us through Ifrit's to the Hurrican Wyverns, and got the drop rather quickly. Then went to Boyahda Tree for the egg, and no drop in like 3 hours -.- I went to sleep after that, and Cass stayed up and finally got it an hour later.

Friday~Dynamis-Xarcabard
Xarcabard! Got our first AF before getting to the NMs.

Ate this around the same time.. Dunno why it was weak, figured I was dead for sure lol

First tower:
Grats to Tritoch!
Second Tower:
Grats to Isachan!
Woot yay me. Now 4/6 on WHM AF2
Third tower:
I lotted 898, but in Manaburn thats not enough to beat 30 others =P Grats Aurik!

No TH on my kills tonight ><

REVENGE

Did Animated Horn for Filipo, but warp at 7% ><
Dain had some of his LS friends join us to help for his Animated Shield. 3 KC DRK's and it died in like 40 seconds lol.

Figured the fun was over by this point with only 30minutes left, but on the last pull...
Grats Madherk!

Chocobo/Dynamis-Xarc

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 04:04:52 GMT

Monday~
Chocobo Fun

Got home excited to check on my still unnamed chocobo.. and found this!

Did a lot of RL cleaning around the room since not much going on in game until it was time for...

Dynamis-Xarcabard

Congrats Xanden!
Xugpy kills for useless AF2! Was the only NM I got a Killshot on of the 15 ;;

We got a Jadepeice and a 100Byne Bill before the next AF2, yay money drops

Congrats Onimike!

Went to fight Animated Shield for Zeke's Aegis fragment....
Success!

I DC'd shortly after, had problems with the new PC. Was too tired to fix it, so just fell asleep.

Too much BLM EXP

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 15:06:41 GMT

During the week I slept probably 90% of the time I wasn't at work, was sick or something, so not a lot to update on. Did do 3x Lamia13 with Saviour for some AP one day though. Also made Dynamis-Beaucedine on Friday but that was pretty dull. 3 AF2(NIN PLD BST) and 2 Attestations(Horn Katana). Went to sleep right after that.

Saturday~
Woke up Saturday (~9am) feeling more energetic than usual, and wanting to see big numbers with Wottles' Genie Weskit, so I took Kursu's new BST char up to Wamoura's and let her leech about 5k closer to 75. When she had to go to bed, made my way over to puddings and got right in with those guys. Stayed out there until about 5pm. I started out the day 14k into 75, and ended the day with all of this:
Capped EXP for the first time ever on BLM!
Sword merits for BLU!

Most of the LS went to Jibbles' Omega, so I took a small group up to fight NW Kings for Limbus. Came out with 9 coins each, not bad at all! I loaned 7 of mine to Tritoch so he could get his Loquacious Earring. With nothing going on in LS, I went to be shortly after that.

Sunday~
Woke up wanting more merits! Well not really wanting to do it, but had nothing else to do, and still had the Genie Weskit. This time I asked Solsovly to come up with me, since he just got competition on his solo spot for his 73BLM. Was ready to go up and duo wamouras, but we got lucky and they needed 2 for the pudding party. Recapped my EXP shortly, and then started earning more merits! Got Tritoch into the party too, so it was half SML, which made it a lot of fun. Goodies from this run were:
Yay BLU!
Held off on the final sword merit since it won't come into effect until 40BLU, so went with some more MP.

After feeling quite burnt out on BLM Meriting, took some time to AFK and watch Arrested Development. Cass came on shortly after, so off to EXP my RDM. Got Diditaru(NIN) and Aegis(anonWAR) to go exp again, and got Ghostfaced(DRK) and some random JP NIN since Didi doesn't like to tank, lol. Went out to Mount Zhaylom for the crawlers there, and found that I prefer them a lot more over the normal poison breathing ones. Averaged about 8.5k/hr over the course of our stay of maybe 4 or 5 hours? Lost track.
/welcome Enfeebling Torque
Passed out after, too much EXP for me.

Weekend update

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 14:46:36 GMT

Friday ~ Dynamis-Jeuno
I love city runs for the sheer amount of AF that drops. We pulled down 20 AF2, and a lot of those being manaburn jobs. RDMx3 WHMx3 MNKx3 BLMx2 BRDx2 NINx2 THFx2 DRG DRK RNG. Shitty lots for me, but grats to Sols for his new BLM feet, Tritoch on NIN feet, Weldon for his MNK hands, and Isachan for RDM legs and THF feet!

Of course, I died about 5 times in dynamis, so spent some time killing wamouras/puddings while watching 24 the rest of the night. Got about 12k before I managed to die and hp, came back out in merit mode and pulled down 25k more to work towards my BLU sword upgrades.

Saturday ~ Randomness
With nothing going on in the linkshell, I spent some time catching up on random stuff. Pulled down some more BLU spells...~~
After that Sols offered to help me with a Garlaige Citadel coffer for my RDM. Dual boxing ftw! With our gilseller'esque train, we managed to get a key in about 25minutes, and then another 30min on coffer (someone opened it right after we got behind the 2nd banishing gate), but   Decided to go to bed early for a full day of EXP on Sunday.

Sunday ~ EXP
Set my alarm to wake up extra early in effort to get myself closer to 75 RDM! Started about 10k >> 60, here is a quick rundown of the day

  Ended with about 6k >> 63.
We went from like 11am >> midnight with Diditaru, Cass, and myself. Cycled through a ton of melee, some real winners. Best one was when one guy aggro'd two puks and dieing, claiming he thought they were sneak only, just to be followed by another guy doing the same thing not 5 minutes later. He followed that genuis move by dc'ing and not coming back. Next exp planned will be Thursday.

Overall the LS has been pretty quiet and not a lot going on with Lordwafik in transit to the USA.

Chocobo time

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 19:41:49 GMT

Day 19 is here! Thanks to Tisiphenie I now have an inbred adolecent blue female.
lolnoobgear

She is still without a name, so if anyone has a good suggestion please let me know =) I have no idea how to raise one to get good stats, so I'll have to hit up the wiki for info. I didn't feed her the optimal food for stat growth as a baby, so I hope I didn't mess it up too bad. I guess I will just spam Vomp Carrots and carry packages for Strength growth.

Midweek update

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:01:26 GMT

Not a whole lot to update about, but I'm trying to get in the habit of doing this =P

Cass had Wednesday evening off so we took the oportunity to get some exp on our RDM/BRD. Took about 2 hours to finally have enough people to make a party... Was only WHM/SMN/BLM seeking for the longest time... Melee onry prz. After finally forming up, we went out to Bhaflau Thickets to kill some colibri and spiders. First group wasn't so good.. PLD tank had quite an attitude, and faked DC when we got a spider link that resulted in Cass and I dieing. gogo people attacking slept mobs.

Replaced the PLD with a NIN and moved to a camp deeper in the thickets, and EXP was rolling in pretty smooth. NIN+WAR+BLU+THF+BRD+RDM. We were doing really well until someone dinged 59 and exp took a hit. We took that as a chance to regroup, replacing the WAR with the only melee availible.. a 2nd BLU. We camped out in Uleguerand Range on the raptors. Kill's were slower, I blame the BLU we just added.. who was less than spectacular =(   Overall went from 4k>>57 to about 8k >>60, not a bad day. Won't be able to exp this until sometime next week due to Cass's work schedule.

Lack of sleep caught up to me on Thursday, and I ended up falling asleep right after work. Slept from 4'ish >> 11. Laid in bed and half slept until about 12. Got out of bed feeling pretty refreshed. Spent 2-3hours in Castle O with Cass trying to farm up a scroll of Carnage Elegy with no luck. After she went to bed, no one was on so I spent a few hours doing some inventory cleaning. Had a lot of old RDM gear laying around I was able to AH/ship to Tienmu to make room for incoming BLU gear (currently lv20). I think I have like 35 free spaces between my safe and locker, which is really good for me!

After making all that space, I had Tienmu take my BLU out to work on getting some spells. Went to Fort Ghelsba first in hopes for Battle Dance, which I got after the 5th or so Orc. Ran into a NM here, Orcish Panzer, which popped Chariotbuster Byakzak, and I got the drop!
I read reports of this being a bitch to get, so I think I'll just toss in storage until I level PLD up some (16 now). Decided to try Korroloka Tunnel after that, in hopes for a Nadrs drop for when I hit 24 and also learning Blood Drain. No luck on the NM popping, but I was only out there for about 1hr. Managed to go 1/1 on learning Blood Drain while out there. I wasn't really into camping that NM, so I went out the the dunes in hopes for Cursed Sphere. Took about 25 damselflies, but , right in time before I had to head off to work. All that cut down my 'needed' spells for BLU in half. Out of the ones I can currently use I'm still missing Queasyshroom(8), Blastbomb(18), and Claw Cyclone(20).

I am getting more and more into the idea of leveling BLU. I don't think getting spells will be that bad... I have Tienmu to tank mobs while I'm under level 40, and now I have Reiyon who can tank the higher level mobs while trying to learn spells. I'm also pretty sure I can find some friends to bug sometime if I run into mobs I can't take down solo. Once I start doing PL parties again I don't think I'll be able to keep my spells up to date with as fast as I will be gaining levels, so I am gonna try to some of the upcoming spells a bit early.

I think this will end up being the job I play when Cass can't be on for my RDM. First I want to get around 20k on my BLM, and then get 3 sword merits (yay bard) for BLU. So that's about 70k exp before I play with my BLU

Here we go

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:05:27 GMT

Gonna try to update this on a regular basis, and take more pictures in game to make it pretty.

Thursday~Bhaflau Remnants
Succces! Was nice to beat this after running out of time last week with 4% left on boss. Fight was really smooth through most of it. Just had one homing missile go off with overnuking, and then another at the end when we were about to kill it. Drops were meh... Neither were "wanted" items, so not locked into this upgrade.
Ea's Dastanas : Me
Phobos Mask : Xanden

Friday~Dynamis-Sandy
Spent some time getting my RDM AF set for the upcoming levels. Managed to delevel down to 52, but grabbed my hat and body. Thanks to Wafik and Wottles for assiting with the AF3.
Manaburn is back to cities for two weeks. Won lots on this guy , so no more AF2 in this zone until I finish up RDM.

Congrats to Tritoch and Madherk on their RDM AF2 Feet.

Saturday~Jailor of Love

Macheezemo gave me ToD of Vivian on Friday so I went up there with Tien, and popped it after 2 hours of killing PH's. Gathered 9 people and got it down to 5% before complete wipe. Had some people that just finishing up with a nonLS Limbus run, so they came up to reinforce us, and then we took him down. No drop of course.

After beating Limbus almost all of SML went down to sea to prepare for our Jailor of Love fight. We had a JoPrudence to pop beforehand in attempt to complete our 2nd JoLove set. This JoPrudence wasn't too bad, one copy of the NM glitched out and just stood still for about 5 minutes lol. Virtue dropped, but no torque =(   Grats to Tritoch on the Prudence Rod.

After Prudence we sent most people to town for a quick job change, and then regathered in Al'taieu for the big JoLove fight. We began with a basic idea of what we were gonna do, but our strat needed a little refining as we started to figure out this fight. I was in charge of the party with rotating members, which kept me pretty busy. I didn't have much time to nuke JoLove between 'aga-ing the summons and resting and swapping in our DRK's and SMN's. I also forgot my AF gloves, so I wouldn't have had too much luck nuking him anyway lol. It took us around 1hr-1hr30min to figure out positioning on him, and to get it where he only summoned the Phaubo's. Once all that was set, he went down pretty steadily, thanks to our DRK's. They seriously rocked JoLove's socks off.  Total time on him was around 2hr30min.

Congrats to everyone in SML on the amazing win.We had 27 people there, 25 SML'ers and 2 friend's of the LS who had helped off and on during our sea adventures.  Drops were Halberd~Isachan (We have no DRG's, so SAM it was lol), Novia~Isachan, and Novio....ME! Wottles and I randomed.. and his was low so I ended up winning. When Wafik came over to trade me, I just couldn't keep it in anymore... and I started shaking!!! lolsoup

Gonna work on saving my AP to get my Yigit Feet.. Then I think I'm almost set on straight DMG gear, minus those crazy HQ's. Then I will try to post some nice DMG shots lol

Sunday~Sky/EXP
SML is taking a break from sea for a bit, and changing focus to sky. I went up to sky as Reiyon since I corrupted my FFXI files attempting to make my Brandson fonts work on my new PC =(    Was wierd to play as a Ninja for a change. We got SC and MG, and spent 5hours or so camping Ulli with no luck. During the Ulli camp I got my newer PC back and running, and Cass got on, so we decided to EXP our RDM/BRD. We went 52-54 in Crawler's Nest in pretty decent time.

Monday~EXP/Dynamis-Glacier

Had the day off b/c of MLK day and all, so Cass and I took the opportunity to get some more EXP on our RDM/BRD. Took awhile to get the party set how I wanted, but once I had my members, we went out to Wajaom Woodlands to fight Colibiri's. We went 54-58, keeping one BLU through the whole process, but doing a lot of juggling of the other spots due to many DC's. When I dinged 57 I tossed on my SH and pretended I was gonna melee, but no one laughed or cared =( I wanted to keep going for more so that I could get into a Vermy cloak or maybe even AF hat, but time ran out and had to run for Dynamis-Beaucedine.

I wasn't really feeling into it, but the LS was going for a win, so I went anyway. Not very good AF... I think we ended up with 3 WAR? Seraph jinxed us @.@. But Thaliaru came out with the WHM Body, so it wasn't a total loss. Congrats Thali! We also cleared about 10 more people to Xarc, which will make our farming runs there a bit easier.

Tuesday~Proto-Omega
Tritoch sent me a tell after work to go get some buffer on our BLM's, seeing as we had both been deleveling at LS events lately. We went up to Mount Z for some work on the Wamoura's. Got 11k exp or so pretty effortlessly until we stopped for Omega. I should really cap EXP sometime, was scary deleveling in Dynamis and wondering if I'd get up and still have my Novio lol

Was a little messy getting set up for Omega, and lost Wafik due to RL aggro, but we eventually made it in there to fight. Omega was being quite whorish with AoE Para spam, so it kinda messed up our plan to farm the gun pods, but we did get him down and we were rewarded for it. Congrats to all.

Xanden ~ Hands
Isachan ~ Legs
Lyne ~ Body

A lot of people are needing items from Temenos to finish AF upgrades since we have been on Apollyon onry for awhile, so I think after this we are switching focus to burn through what we have and do our first Ultima before going back to Omega. We are 3/6 on chips, all first floors done. Fell asleep after this, wasn't feeling too well. Woke up and found out Madherk was looking for me to Assault =(

'07

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 17:40:42 GMT

To do list

Main jobs~

Red Mage (53) - Current project, staticing with Cassanda's BRD on this. Been pretty lucky on parties... When we actually do find the time to exp it, get 2-3 levels each party. Have everything for AF's minus the AF3 fights needed for the hat, just gotta spend some time opening coffers, which should be easy on RDM.

Possibilities after Red Mage What comes after/during bringing up Red Mage will highly depend on who I can level with, and what job they are wanting to exp. Any of these jobs would never be a main really... I still consider myself BLM or WHM for LS stuff. Would be something fun to exp whenever, and maybe something to mix up any solo/duo'ing I need to do that BLM isn't great for.

Samurai (57) - Leveling melee still kinda wierd to me... But I always liked SAM. Haven't touched it since the nice update a few months ago, so I'm sure it's a lot more fun to play now. Have the pop item for Soboro GKT, just need to harass some people to go out there sometime when I do decide to go with Samurai. If I get lucky and someone buys my Alky's, I can fund this. If not, I'll probably stay with a mage job I can leech gear from another job.

Ninja (40) - Being a tank would also be kind of wierd too lol. I have never been great at counting shadows, or casting at the right times... Would probably have to solo a bit and see if I can get the hang of it, and enjoy it. Playing Ninja would probably require more attention than I like to spend on the game, so this one is doubtful.

Summoner (39) - Still undecided on this one. I think it would be a lot of fun to have a 75SMN to solo stuff, or duo with Cassanda... But I'm not in love with the idea of leveling White Mage again.

Blue Mage (20) - So far having to learn spells has been a pain, so not too sure I wanna be full time BLU lol. And leveling this would require a lot of new gear to find money/space that I don't really have atm.

Sub Jobs~ Not too many jobs that make good SJ's for me left under 37... Most of these I probably won't level for any real SJ. So if you have a job you are working on that matches one of these guys, and you find me pretty bored, you can hook yourself up with some Bard PL'ing lol.

Blue Mage (20)
Corsair (18)
Beastmaster (16)
Paladin (15)
Dark Knight (2)
Dragoon (1)
