Hark, what is that? I do believe a 2 35 drop in salvage. And ... and what's that I hear, a 35 Morrigan body drop?!?! Wait, there's more, to whom did it drop??? TO TREUBOND?!?!?! ZOMG!!!!!!!!! Oh, and the 35 Morrigan Head went to Nappysan.
And yes, this was a very old post that I never finished. So I'm just going to post it and say that since I got Macha's Coat I haven't really done any Salvage but I do now have my Z Card to pop my 15 body piece.

Haidate Please
I doubt I'll put a label on this post because this is going to be a post full of just random thoughts that I need to just write down. There also isn't much for me to update on because I haven't gotten much done in game.
As far as WHM goes, I haven't gotten a good party yet. Last night I got in a party, killed 1 mob while the PLD was d/cing, and then the party disbanded. The only positive I've done for WHM this week was me finishing off my AF. I'd hope that tonight I could level WHM some more but I have volleyball at 7:30 and then sky at 10, so I'd only have about an hour between getting home and needing to be in sky.
Sky this week has been VERY slow because attendance has been crap. Not even the leaders are showing up to the runs which brings down everyone else, which in turn ends sky runs in a hurry. Tonight if we have the numbers and Zal actually logs on for the first time this week, we have about 5 Byakko pop sets to burn through. Screamin is next in line in the LS for Haidate but sadly the next one goes to a buyer. Still, even if we only get a 40% drop rate on the pants I will have Haidate for Screamin ... WOO HOO. I just really hope that people show up tonight so we can roll through those pop sets and get some Haidates past around.
Next on the list to talk about is Salvage. So far the group is still at a stand still because I asked Vaniel last night but he said he just got his work hours switched to evenings and he couldn't say that he was too excited about Salvage gear. As of now that leaves our Salvage group at myself, Khrone, and Disdain, which is a good start I guess. Jobs we still need are MNK, THF/BRD/RDM, WHM, and a DD. Khrone is definitely MNK, but then Disdain can swap between BRD and THF or even DRG and I could go between BRD, RDM, and SAM. The only necessary jobs one of us cannot switch between is a 2nd MNK and a WHM. I'd really like to find a MNK we can trust and a WHM we can trust, but the problem is there aren't that many people I trust in this game anymore. I guess I could ask Vayla and Klitz and them, but they haven't been online too much and they have been concentrating a lot on building up themselves again. Ugh, even if Screamin were still around that would knock out our 2nd MNK. I wish my friends would stop leaving the game and stay so we can get more stuff done together in the game. lol
Possibilites to ask still:
Vayla, Bleemo, Klitz(don't know his new char's name) and their other friend
Thought of the Day(changing things up a lil today):
Doing my Wii Fit has actually been helping me sleep better at night. I guess there is grounds to doing work outs does help you sleep at night.
And don't dis the Wii Fit, there are some HARD exercises on there that make you sweat and build muscle.

Poroggo Madame Down
I must admit, this run went a lot smoother than our last one. There were a few mistakes but nothing that really brought us to a screetching halt.
We farmed the cells in a much faster manner this time, all as a group. Everyone was doing a better job of passing quickly on the cells and had a much better understanding of who gets what cells. Overall I would have to say we were much more efficient with our 30 minutes this time than the last time. There was one mistake of going up the wrong portal so we missed out on some other cells that may have helped us a little more but we were still good.
As for the 4th floor we started off very poorly. Caol pulled some mamool ja when no one else was ready because Dray was telling people stuff to do while Caol was also telling different orders. So we were all waiting in the side room and all of a sudden Caol comes running out with 2 mamool ja and one of them was a BLM. When we ran out to start fighting the first one the BLM one had already started casting Thundaga3 which killed I believe 3 or 4 of us right off the bat. Eventually we wiped to the mamool ja but not until after killing the 1st one and getting a much needed HP cell for Caol, which by the way was totally luck because those mobs drop random cells. It ended up not being a total disaster because we were able to get that HP cell.
After that we were ready for the the NM. We prep up, get ready, and pull. Dray pulls all the pets to the one side like he was supposed to but for some reason Caol said he was spamming his Chi Blast macro but it just wasn't going off. Dray raises back up and we try again, and this time Caol actually snags it and pulls it kinda into the side room ... yeah kinda. Well kinda was "kinda" a mistake because then he decided to link a bunch of his other froggie friends which started to OWN us. Somehow we kinda got away from it but sadly we still wiped. Attempt #3 went really well and actually flawlessly. The only way it could have gone better is if dray was lucky enough to deaggro the frogs. We pulled the NM way back into a room and just whooped on it until he charmga. Once that wore off we whooped on her some more and charmga and then dead. Got the 3 100% drops from it which completed Caol's Usu feet which is cool because that means we can start concentrating on other floors and other pieces of gear now.
The next run I guess is scheduled for Sunday at 6PM which I can't make because I have volleyball at 7. I guess they are going to try the 5th and 6th floor NMs and possibly the boss in Zhayolm Remnants which could be cool .... for them. As much as I'd like to go to Salvage I can't ditch my new volleyball team because we normally only play with 5 as it is.
Sunday there will be a huge change in LolFail too I guess because Sush is changing how the whole LS will be run. There is supposedly going to be Dynamis and Sea added into the shell and cutting back on Sky. Sush also said that there will be some attendance cuts from the LS based on attendance and attitude which really has everyone scared. Everyone that's in the LS seems to want to stay in the LS. Also, as of last night Sush didn't really have a direction for the LS as of yet. This weekend we will just have to wait and see what Sush wants to do. One thing he did say was nixing points in sky and giving people with jobs for the items priority for pieces of gear instead of doing a straight points system. Another stipulation that he did say was that nothing is set in stone as of yet and he will have to see whate he ends up planning out. I am actually kind of looking forward to seeing how this ends up. This could definitely either expand the shell or really destroy the shell, only time will tell.
It is Friday and I am not going anywhere this weekend which is awesome because that means I can merit and do assaults and just get a lot done in game that I need to do ... like capping Store TP so I can work on more GK and Overwhelm merits. I'm excited to deck out my SAM because of the merit party I had with Mac when we were just utterly DESTROYING everything. We hit chain 104 before I had to leave but Mac said that they actually went up to like 214 or so before they called it quits. I got an extra 10k buffer bringing my buffer up to 30k on SAM and an extra merit leaving me at 2 in reserve. That means I need about 100k more exp to cap Store TP and then I can be a real SAM and have a 6 hit build since sadly I am not right now.

1st Salvage Run
Lets just say this didn't really go according to plan. From the word go we were not nearly as organized as any of us thought we were. I mean we went in without having a real cell order nailed down and didn't even have the cells from the main box decided. It took up around 2 minutes before we even decided who got what in the box. Honestly, it should take about 30 seconds and in Salvage, time is everything. Now I'm not gonna totally point my finger and say it was that person's fault because we all went in assuming someone else knew exactly what to do when really we should all know what to at least expect. Cell order should be nailed out ahead of time or at least a general idea and people just weren't prepared for the pace that Salvage needs to go. It just shows that you can't go in unprepared for Salvage.
Hmm, just saw a new post on LolFail's website by Sush talking about how he's going to be breaking a lot of pearls and cleaning up the LS. I hope that means he'll just be booting people that don't contribute to the LS anymore. Khrone is freaking out because he's scared he might get booted now when he still needs D legs and D head. I told him not to worry because he takes the load of attendance off Sush's shoulders so I don't really see Sush booting him since he is a regular, active, and contributing member of the LS. I could see Sush more of booting me from the LS but I feel that I do contribute to the LS with helping with attendance and helping run some farming runs on the rare occasion Sush isn't on. There is also the fact that I am one of the main Bards for Kirin runs and we don't really have that many bards in the LS so I feel kinda safe. Eh, I am worried a little bit because I do have some fun and make some good gil in this LS. It has DEFINITELY been the most productive LS I've been in, even if it was only sky. I've never seen people get gear so quickly and be able to make some gil in the process. Sush said he didn't have a list together of who he was depearling yet so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I'm on the dreaded list.
As for tonight, I hope to get a Hagun ENM run done so I can make some of my gil back from me buying the Hagun I have. It put a big hole in my wallet so I'm hoping to refill it with that. After the ENM I'm probably going to have to get ready for Dynamis-Bastok right away since they roll out at 8 PM. At least I will be able to make the whole run tonight and maybe even snag the SAM meditate gloves from Bastok.

I should have the attendance part down since I've only missed like 5 days in 6 months.

Could it be?
So the closer we're getting to an actual start date the more it seems as though we are actually going to do it ... Salvage! The ONE thing I really want to do in this game still ... besides possibly getting Maat's Cap of course. I'm PUMPED!!!
Hopefully this actually pans out and goes well because it seems to already be starting out on shaky ground. I'm thinking once we get a few runs under us we'll be fine and be able to just keep rolling. My biggest fear is that people are going to start fighting over drops and/or loot whoring which is what always tears groups apart, similar to Sky shells breaking over Haidates. One of the things is not everyone in this group are close friends and some have basically just met for the first time. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.
Til then, here's to hoping for good drops and good times!
