Besieged Fun

Ever since they did the Besieged update I've come to enjoy it very much. You get these cool Besieged items like Giants drink which boosts your HP by like 800Hp or something. Same thing with MP. Plus now you get 1000exp points. SE is really doing a good job and attracting more and more people to join the defense.

I had this really fun encounter the other day with the new frog Beastmen. It has this really funny charmga which not only charms you, but turns you into a frog, lol.



The guy ran away as soon as charm wore. Bent on taking revenge, with a little flee action and I caught up to him and return the favor.

Its really funny when they fall, lol. Still, though not as funny as how Tarus drop. XD

Dynamis Valkurm Dunes
/sh Raise! Can I have it? (F-9)

With all zones booked Invictus decided to take a shot at their first COP dynamis. I don't think anyone was really prepared we just went in just for the hell of it and to do a Dynamis.

The difference between COP dynamis and regular dynamis is that there is a limit of people you can bring(36 I believe) and 18 for Dynamis Tavanzia. It also takes less time. Also you don't start out with subjobs. To unlock subjobs for Dynamis Valkurm you have to kill 3 Darters(>.<). We got our subjobs unlocked and procded to Fairy Ring(NM). There are two NMs that you have to kill to weaken the Boss. How hard could a little mushroom be? Very hard if you don't know what you are doing. He has this directional AOE which hits excatally for 1005 damage. We got owned hard!


With little time remaining we decided not to go for the Boss kill and just farm. Not really expecting any drops we got lucky and a pair of Duelist's Boots dropped.

Ofcourse my good friend Cherron lost the lot. The only way that guy ever wins any RDM AF is by default. When everyone has theirs already lol. Congratulations to Kenyan on the pair.

Come December we will go back to COP Dynamis, hopefully more prepared. I really wish to beat all the zones.

Forward The Black Mage

As you know I've been leveling Black Mage. I hit 46 last week and I stopped right there. I didn't want to level one bit until I got my Moldavite Earring. I spend the past few days in there. My first kill did not yield a drop.


Second kill I got it!


I logged for about 2 hours after that and when I came back I saw this 75ish BLM camping. Judging by his gear he looked like RMT(Edit: I later confirmed that him and his LS, TaruNation are indeed RMT). The gob pops and he claims and ofcourse links all the gobs....And just stands there...


Finally the bot's master comes back from AFK. With little HP left he tries to make a run for it lol.


He dies and I grab the mysticmaker and his buddies come along for the ride.


It is no problem. I am a Thief, I trained them away from the area and used hide to shed all hate. I reclaimed the NM, but I guess one of the gobs was still in his "area" and he did not depop.


I didn't want to waste my NPC because Neo and I were going to level our NPCs later(but the fag NEVER SHOWED). Anyway this guy can be a little tough if he gets the right spells off(i.e. -ga IIs). Without some kind of HP regen(i.e. Bloodybolts, Cure from your NPC, etc.) he can be rather hard, especially those Blaze spikes they add up to a lot of damage for THFs that can be a killer.

I did my best to control the other gob via sleep bolts, but he was a ranger and I hate ranged attacks as they eat shodws so fast. Mysticmaker got 2 big spells off on me.

I was under 100 Hp and he was at abot 10% at that point. I 2hred and I spammed Bloody bolts. Finally brought the sucker down!


Third Kill!

Thats one Moldavite earring that RMT won't be getting. XD

<-~~==COP: The End==~~->

We finally cleared The Chains of Promathia Missions. The finally BC, let me say it is one of, if not the best BC zones that I've ever seen. It takes place "above" the world. Check it out that is Qufim Island right there.


The fight with Promathia was not hard at all. You basically let Phishe and Se'dious(sp?) guy kill it and you keep them healed and survive. Promathia's 1st form is a joke.


His second form is a bit tough because he casts meteor. You still have the NPC help. They'll do all the work. Pishe is a powerhouse!!


Zethren FULL ATTACK!


COP is a very fun and challenging story. It is not all that difficult, but it does test your basic party mechanics. You don't need killer gear or all that good stuff to beat it, just some skill and A LOT OF TIME. If you got a good bunch of people it will be cake. I want to thank my static for such a good job and also all the people of Everlost with whom I did the first 4-5 missions with over a year ago. Here are my guys.

Nidhogg Strikes again

Today Nidhogg popped 1st. window. Perseverance got the bad boy. They were a bit short on members, no refeshers or many mages, but they did great. I had to step out for a while so I didn't get to the see the fight, but they brought it down and a E. Body dropped.

Congratulations to my friend Chronicles on the kick ass purple piece. That's 100% Hawtness right there.

Fabulous Friday Fafnir!

It has been almost 1 month now since we got Fafnir/Nidhogg claim. Today we finally did it. It popped first window and my man Loire got it for us! I got my share of the claim too, lol.


We claimed with only 9 people present.


Around 80% the rest of our guys came, all 3 of them, lol.
Some action shots:




The Final Angel Knight Blow(TFAKB)! Good bye Fafnir!


I know what you are thinking. I can hear your loud mouth brain, "oh get to the drops already." You clicked on my blog and I should show you the drops now? Well Fuck you very much here they are.

At first I was like, woah woah woah wait a second only 3 Fire Crystals dropped? That can't be right. A split second later the saw everything else load up on my screen. No Ridill though :( but lookie what we have here, Neptunal Abjuration: head.

I got the N. Head. Although I think a some others may have benefited from this more than me, but they were not present and Pharanx told me to lot. This is probably one of the few and rare cases of where a Thief got a N. Head before any other N. piece, so I am very grateful to my LS. Thank you AngelKnight for all the hard work.

Also congratulations to Yamasemi and Bramd!

Next up, saving money for Cursed Cap. lol, I r teh g1mp!

Proto-Omega #1

Having recently gained access to Al'Taieu access I joined a Limbus Linkshell, "UlimaUndressers(UU)." Thursday was my first run with them and we did the Proto-Omega fight.

Fight wasn't bad at all. Everyone who could, slept to 300% TP for Spirits Within. I did my part, but kinda screwed it up. lol. I'm such a noob.

A stack of Sleep pots down the drain. I'll get the bastard next time...

The fight itself was fun, not that exciting or challenging though. I hear Ultima is much harder so I am looking forward to that.


Drops were very good.

I think this was UU's first Omega's heart.
Congratulations to Osyris on the Legs. Vang on the Body and Starafur on the head.

That is Cix on the right side. He is such a cam whore :P

I really like limbus. It is fun to do, it is short and the rewards are outstanding. SE has really done a great job with it as compared to Dynamis. You can spend a year in Dynamis and not even see a particular AF2. Looking forward to more Limbus action and UU, they seem to be a good bunch of folks.

Zethren's Funnies!

I had this PT the other day with this guy who'll remain anonymous. He was the PT leader and our Ninja. He wasn't a bad ninja at all. It was just that he would loose focus of what was going on in the PT because of things like his linkshell "is talking about underage sex." Towards the end of the Party it happened again and I called him out on it. Very funny to try to watch him make himself look like the truthful guy. Notice he's just randomly pressing his TP macro without even looking at what is going on.

Next one is just plain Apathy gone wrong by Zander(75WHM), lol.

SEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I am sorry for the lack of updates for the past week or so. The truth is nothing worthwhile has been going on. I got Black Mage to level 44 last night. Went from 41->44. Thanks to my good friend Raijun for the excellent party
I've progressed in COP very well. We got Sea access last week. It was very fun. I just have the PM8-3 and 8-4 left to do and then I get my Raja's Ring.
I have some cool shots for you. Enjoy!

Mamets
This was a fun fight. There were 5 of these against us all. Not a bad fight at all. Just keep them out of BLM form and you're golden.


Omega
I was on bard and provided March and Mambo to our tank. It was cake. We used 3 CCBs at 60% 40% and 20%. No problems at all. It was like cheating


Ultima
This one was a little harder than Omega. He had some nasty moves, but still we used the same strategy. Mambo&March on the NInja and CCBs at 60%, 40% and 20% HP.

I want to try these fights in the future again, but with a PLD tank and using not as many CCBs. That should be a better challenge and more fun. Seemed like we breezed through that BC very easily.

After the fight. Bahamut went ape shit and tried to kill us all with Mega Flare.


Tenzen saved everyone by absorbing the damage via his Samurai Sword. But it changed him and we would go ahead and fight in Chapter 7 of COP. Ofcourse we beat his ass.


Next up...


Which threw you in a strange place called "Al'Taieu." Also known as Sea. It is truly amazing to step foot there for the first time. It is kind of like Sky, most things don't aggro and the terrain is very nicely done.


Mission 8-1 is simply getting access to "Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi" via a bunch of pop ??? NM fights. PM8-2 was really a bitch. It took us like 4 hours to do it. Total pain in the ass and if things couldn't get any worse guess who came out looking for revenge because we were killing all the pots, Jailer of temperance lol. It was very funny. We died, but got right back up and kept moving.

Next week is 8-3 and hopefully we can kill the Final Boss the same day as well.

Sky Exp. PT

So I was getting ready to go to Gustav Tunnel last night to join my LS mates for some skill ups and Hobow NM when I get a Blind invite. I usually don't take blind invites, but I was like what the hell let me laugh at this noob.
Blazeoffury invites you to join his party.
What could become of this PT? To start it off, DEATH. Blazeofnoob vokes Despot on the way to camp. Crosis our Healer was far away. So I was stuck there with like 150MP left to cure them all . Way to go Blaze... XD

After that 'incident' our PT turned out to be pretty good. Thanks to Crosis I've just about mastered the main deco weapon camp. Good tips. Hadn't exped on Bard for a while now so it was very fun, especially getting away from TAOU areas. Something tells me I'll be PTing with him the future, damn 71NIN. lol

Yeah, Nid!

So Nidhogg popped today, first window. We had only 6 people there. I am glad it popped when it did, would have been a total waste of time camping it with such a small turn out. I don't know who got it or what dropped. Congrats to them.


Sup Suppa!

I finally got my Suppanomimi Earring. A very special thanks to Sep's Army for letting me tag along on their run. And a even greater thanks to my good buddy Cherron for hooking me up with his Linkshell's Event. I am very greatful. Thanks guys. ^^

Evil Taru :x

Zethren's Funnies

Redneck

This one one of those nights when LS mates were "Bonding." Note: I edited it to take out shout and say crap that was going on, but nothing was taken out of the LS CHAT.



Kraken Club

I am sure you read Neo's post about us skilling up in Kuftal Tunnel the other day. Here is a different take on that night. I send him a tell to join us and I tell him that I blew my last paycheck, bought a ton of gil and got a Kraken Club.

Although Surprised and Shocked by my actions he belived me. So he rushes over and I trade him my "Kraken Club(Shell Buster)."



Please feel free to submit any funny screenshots or chats that you have. You can reach me via PM on qcdn or e-mail: Zethren_ti@yahoo.com. I appreciate it and I'll gladly meantion your name. Thanks.

COP Update, PM6-4.

Update coming tonight as I forgot to bring the pictures with me to work today. We sooo owned this fight. Thanks Neophytal for letting me borrow your Royal Cloak. I need to get one of these, it rocks. ^^
lol Forgot again.

JP BUTTON!

I've added a new special feature, "JP Button." I get feedback from Japanese speakers all the time saying they like the pictures, but they cannot understand the English(followed by ;;). That is where the JP Button comes in. Press and VIOLA ze Blog will now be in Japanese.
Google Translate For The Win!.

Enjoy and thanks for reading.

Goodbye my Friend

This post is dedicated to the ex-Leader of "VanadielFamily" Linkshell, Aluveru. I joined this Linkshell in the middle of 2005. I was the only English person in the shell. Everyone was Japanese, but that did that matter at all. Everyone was very nice and treated everyone with respect and we had A LOT OF FUN.

Aluveru knew how to run the linkshell and truly made it a family atmosphere. Back when I had no Sky or HNM Linkshell I would really look forward to his Weekend events. They were fun and helpful in getting everyone what they wanted. In this Linkshell I killed my first HNM, Simugrah.

I will truly miss you my friend. I wish in the future you get some time to play again. For now Syonara.
