Oh yes, it shall be mine. We got 2 more diorite last night bringing us to a grand total of I BELIEVE 3 or 4 Byakko. I know we have at least 3 right now which means it just has to be 1/3 tonight and it shall be MINE!!! After that I can start being the loot whore I've always wanted to be. Maybe I can actually get some Heca gear for my WAR then and actually have a well equipped WAR for once.
Oh the gear that can flow in towards me once I get Haidate. Maybe I should start scheming to see where I would land on the N Body and D Body lists. I definitely want to just get as much as I can, and if no one lots for this gear I would definitely drop the 5 points on ALL of it. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm pumped!!! After looking at the points, once I get my Haidate I will still be right arount #20 in points and about half of those people aren't really with the LS anymore. I love this because I could easily get some really nice pieces really quickly! I am now giddy like a school girl. lol
The big problem with last night was that for some strange reason a 56MB update took 3 hours to get downloaded and installed on my computers. I ended up being late because of it. But while I was waiting for the download to finish I got a lot of play time into Rock Band 2. I have yet to fail a song on Hard but I have yet to play any of the top 15 songs. There have been times where I came very close to failing but I still pulled it out and one time when I actually got 5 stars on AC/DC - Let There Be Rock. Not to mention last night I hit the 1,000,000 fan mark and got a trophy for it. It was cool to see another trophy pop up since I haven't gotten one in a while. I have also unlocked almost all of the venues now. There are probably only about 2 more venues that I still have to unl0ck.
As for tonight, I have championships for volleyball so it'll be a best of 5 series. After that it will probably be about 8:30 or so which doesn't really give me time for much except maybe crafting. Crafting is actuallya good idea for myself since I've been dumping gil into it and I need to actually use it to make some gil for once after I dump all this gil into it. Although now I am a little scared because there is a new earring out that has 30 charges of RR3 which could CRUSH the market for RR Hairpins. Here's to hoping all my gil spent on leveling up BC does not go to waste. Then of course it will be time for sky and me getting my Haidate and a ton of other gear too. Hahaha

All: lol

Close Calls
This weekend was for the most part a total bust on getting things accomplished. I pretty much sat infront of my computer the entire weekend and really didn't get anything done. I got 1 more merit point, .5 more skill on BC taking me to 71.9, and then did some more sky last night. This has just been an unmotivated weekend I guess.
It was a weekend of close calls because I got 71.9 on Bonecrafting but couldn't get to 72 because some butt munch was trying to hike up the prices to at least 4k above what they were and I won't pay the hiked up price and I hope no one else does too since that is a 10% price raise (if its even only 4k higher). As far as my guild point item, I ALMOST did it this weekend. I had the web page up and new what item I had to get and knew I could easily do it, but for some retarded reason never actually did it. Then there was last night with me almost getting my next shot at haidate since a dio dropped on basically the 1st mob last night. We could've easily done the 2xKirin we did and go do Byakko and get my kitty pants ... but we didn't.
This leaves me still 1st in line for Byakko's Haidate and only 1 pop set to work off of. On the bright side we did get 2xD Body from the first Kirin last night and 1 N. Body that should've gone to Sush but he had passed out so we went w/o him. Suxorz for him! Tonight though I'm going to get my kitty pants because Byakko is going to be a good putty tat and ... give me Haidate. (Yes, I paused before finishing that sentence because I had to go through about 3 ways of saying it with a double entendre first. lol) Then once I get those pants I burn the rest of my points where ever I can!!!! MUAHAHAHA
I'm so excited to get Haidate out of the way so I can get some other gear to maybe actually upgrade my WAR or prepare for my SAM which I am leveling next. Now sky is starting to get exciting again because I don't just have 1 piece to look forward to, I have about 6 pieces to look forward to after Haidate. The only real 2 big pieces to get after haidate are D Body and N Body. I may try to pick up a D Body soon since there is almost no line anymore. SO EXCITED!
Tonight will be sky at its usual time, but we are also planning a Promyvion-Dem run for Khrone and Ramoth since they need their promies still. We did Mea for them this weekend and Khrone already has Holla done so that would mean when we finish Dem tonight he'll be in Lufaise Meadows. Sadly, if we were to try to keep Ramoth on track though too we'd have to do another Holla run for him. We shall see how this pans out though because maybe we can get Vayla (Xandrah) into the mix for some of these runs to try to make a little static for them for CoP.

Sad Panda Bear
It is sounding like Lolfail could be coming to an end if we don't get a strong leader to step up while Sush is straightening out his RL. Basically none of the sacks are really stepping up since Vibion was really the only sack that did anything. Trog just has a sack because he's RL friends with Sush I think. Fuman could lead but he hasn't really stepped up at all previously so I don't really see that happening. Hybrid somehow became a sack out of the blue, and he is actually willing to step up but I don't know if I see the LS really following him because he is so new. As far as Kota goes, he'd be a good leader but his playing time has seemed to be basically diddly for the past month, like how last night we could've done some lesser gods but he had the pop sets and wasn't on.
Which kind of brings me to, well, me. To be perfectly honest, I don't really want to lead. I'm willing to step up and take over while the leaders are not around, but to actually basically take over the LS while Sush is away doesn't really interest me. One thing that I have thought of is kinda of taking the lead but then pretty much letting Hybrid lead the LS. The biggest problem with this is Hybrid has a VERY short temper and I know he can blow up at people pretty quickly which scares me because that could quickly push people away from the LS. That's kind of why I think I could take the lead but then basically split leadership between all the sacks, which is what the sacks were all suggesting but Sush still wants a "leader of the pack".
Anyways, last night wasn't nearly what I hoped it to be. No dynamis, no byakko, no haidate, crappy sky farming, and I ended up staying up late. There were some positives that came out of last night. I got 1.4 levels on my BC for only about 100k which isn't so bad because I know 70 -> 80 is going to basically be a gil sink, or at least 70 -> 77. Besides that, I also got another FL assault done and was in a few screen shots on Drackonus's blog because that was his last assault that he needed for Captain. Congrats to Drack on Captain, a job well done sir.
Also, because dynamis got canceled I had some free time before volleyball so I decided to try my hand in clamming. On my first bucket I got a coral fragment!!! And then the other about 2 hours I spent throughout the night doing clamming I probably got about 20k in other gil items too. But whoever said they can usually get 6 coral/hr is full of it because they definitely weren't popping out like that for me. This weekend I'm going to keep going with clamming though because its 500 gil per bucket and you can actually make some decent gil with almost zero effort what so ever.
This evening will probably hold in store for me clamming, meriting, and then possibly some lower level exp with Disdain and maybe Khrone. Maybe we can work Disdain's DNC to 37 then do the bird camp with me, him, and Khrone. Then once Disdain hits 42 we can have Khrone switch to one of his other jobs that is at 37 and we can rinse and repeat until Khrone is out of jobs at 37 that we can use. All of that should take my SAM from 51 to about 57 I'm thinking. Wow, that's one heck of a lot of exp. lol Although, the faster I can speed my SAM to 66 or 75 the better because then I can actually have fun with another job. Just that I know its gonna take me a hunk of gil to gear SAM pretty well for end game. Oh well, at least I'll be having fun with it.

Lean Back, Lean Back
Talk about lazy nights. I feel like I got nothing done last night but that I did a lot. Its probably because I went on 2 Nyzul Isle floor 80 runs and didn't have anything drop on the 1st run and didn't win the 2nd one because we ran out of time. The drop rates from these bosses is TERRIBLE! I have now been on 8 boss fight runs and have only seen 1 set of askar feet drop to only be won by a BST. This is just starting to get a little frustrating when you see all these other people with this nice gear and then you don't even see it drop. Which is almost the exact same situation with RDM AFv2 hat, I've only SEEN it drop once. I guess I still don't have any right to be at all emo because I do still have my W Legs.
As for the rest of the night I did some LS meriting and got 2 more merits which puts me at 3/5 Ice Acc on RDM now. Now I just have to USE my RDM again and it'll be worth it. Once I finish meriting Ice I think I'm going to move on from meriting. Besides meriting I also went out with Disdain and did some Campaigning on Screamineagle to try to get his BST a little closer to 74. He's now about 13 or 14k from 74 so I guess sitting him out there and doing campaign will not only help him get to 75 but it will also help rank him up beyond Emblems because I would still like to get the Iron Ram pants for him.
Outside of those 3 things I didn't do anything else, not even my guild item which I want to start doing again so I can get my apron and have more of a skill advantage when I try to do the big gap synths. Next for synthing I think I'm going to do Demon's Knives which are 73. That way the gap for coral hairpins are even less of a jump and I will have BC+2 by then hopefully. So 73+2 to 77 is not bad at all and I really shouldn't fail too much. I may even go sit in the BC guild to get the free guild support to put me at 73+3 which means I should be successful about 90% of the time. And seeing that I just discovered there is a mini guild in Al Zahbi I can just get the support there as long as the NPCs haven't been taken. I could actually start doing this this weekend which would help me get a jump start on getting to 80BC and being able to crank out RR hairpins and making some steady gil. Ahhhh, the prospect of having a steady income outside of Sky is a very good feeling since that means I will have the gil to buy more stuff that actually interests me like a Vermy or being able to pay for Salvage gear once I get back to it. I have a feeling after New Years I'm going to try to put together a group because I will probably be slowing down with sky and Sush will probably have everything he needs/wants which basically just leaves me to trying to get a few more good people like Mac and Dray together to be able to rock out and get some nice gear. The only problem is that a lot of us would be fighting over Morrigan and only about 2 people fighting for Usu which would be great for Khrone, but crappy for me. Hehe, see how easily I get sidetracked?!
Tonight I have Dynamis right after work which means I have to fly home to try to make it on time, but I am very excited it'll be an icelands because that means GOOD GEAR!!! Hopefully we have people show up and we get some good drop rates. Basically right after Dynamis I will have to start getting ready for volleyball and then I will be coming home for sky right afterwards. I've got quite a busy night tonight.
On a side note, just before I went to sleep last night I thought about 2 things ... Morrigan's Robe and RDM AFv2 hat. Yes, I'm an addict and I admit it. lol

Lack Of Attendance
We had 2xKirin planned for last night and we couldn't even get a full alliance together let alone a group of the right jobs. So obviously it turned into a farming night, but of course it wasn't that great because we just have not been lucky with during regular farm time farming.
We got a Despot, MG, and I think that was it. No waters or diorites, again. Now that we do have that Despot we can go do another Byakko though which makes me happy since it gives me try #3 for my haidate to drop. Malikeye was so happy last night that he heard we have another Byakko set just waiting to be popped. I hope he doesn't freak out when he realizes that I'm beating him by 10 points now, even though I was down by about 30 at the beginning of the week. Its not like I'll be leaving the LS after I get haidate though so I'll still be around to help him get his, but I'm not passing haidate again.
Which brings us to Wednesday, today. I don't have sky tonight so I'm not sure what I will do with my free time. First thing I need to do is some house work which should take an hour or two. After that I would really like to do my guild item for the day, but that would only take about 30 minutes. That leaves me with about 5 hours left to do ... whatever. I guess about 2 of those hours could be used for meriting and just hammering out a few more merits for my RDM. Maybe I can drag Hybrid out with me because I know he still wants more of a buffer and more merits. While I'm at it I might as well bring Khrone with me too since I know he still wants to cap his H2H because he's always saying how he's missing. Hmm, maybe I can just turn it into an LS merit party then since that's already half the party just with LS people. Could see if Disdain wants to come out too.
I know I will get bored pretty easily with meriting so I'll probably put about a 2 hour cap on that. After that I want to look a little more towards Assaults and Nyzul Isle. The bonus of that is that I can be fishing on Screamin while I wait for a shout for those. Another thought that has crossed my mind is doing some sort of Nyzul Isle/Assaults static. Like, do 4 Nyzul Isle runs one day, then 3 days later do 3 assaults. Its a viable plan but that's loading up my days even more again. For me I could do Nyzul Sunday and then Assaults Wednesday, but I don't know how it would work out for anyone else. Bleh, so much I want to do in the game with so little time. Hopefully my brother will get the winning tickets for the MegaMillions on Friday so I can retire and game for the rest of my life. :D ...what a life that would be...

Outside Farming
Last night I wasn't in the greatest of moods and I don't really know why. It could have partially been the fact that when I logged on I was staring at an unclaimed Kirin with 2 pets out that decided to smack me in the face and kill me. What a fun way to start off your day right?
After I got a raise from the LS that was doing terrible against Kirin I got an almost immediate invite from Kota. They were already up in sky farming. So I figured I might as well help out since I'm already there. Luckily after about 3 or so hours of farming we got 3 diorites, 1 MG, and 1 Faust. Since we also popped 2 of the diorites and got the Autumnstones we got 5 more points each. I got 40 points yesterday before sky even STARTED!!!
Once sky started we popped the last diorite and popped a BB. After that I was holding on to every stone and 2/4 gems, which meant I almost had every pop item for the lesser gods. I think we ended up using every pop item I had on me too last night. It was a pretty good night because we sold N Feet for 500k which we definitely earned because we got them to drop off a Suzaku that we didn't do so well on. The biggest problem I had with sky last night is that I am now next in line for Haidate and guess what, 2x Byakko and the bugger didn't drop them either time. We still have 1 more diorite but I think we need another Despot before we can pop Byakko again so I'm hoping I get my kitty pants tonight so I can be much relieved and don't have the necessity of pushing myself in sky anymore. I can lay back a little and maybe concentrate on leveling a job again.
I am thinking that on Wednesday since we don't have sky I may try to snag Disdain and go duo my SAM with his DNC through the desert on pet spiders. Or maybe start up a party and see how well we roll. As I am dropping rapidly in the rankings in ffxiah I feel as though I need to start advancing again since I'm definitely falling behind and I haven't really done anything with Disdain since he came back. Us going and exping together could be some fun even though I don't really have that much gear for my SAM right now, but I'm sure I could gear it quite easily.
The other options I have for Wednesday is crafting or meriting. Both of which are a good idea because they will bring me closer to goals of having a money maker and the goal of becoming a better RDM in turn can be a good money maker. If I get BC up higher I can make RR hairpins and make gil that way. If I get my RDM more pimped I could go farm with Sush or Mac and split the profits of a say a Despot or Ulli which sell for 500k a piece and aren't really that hard with either 2xRDM/NIN or RDM/NIN + BLM. I guess we shall have to see what opportunity arises because I may just end up doing assaults or nyzul isle, WHO KNOWS?!
Tonight will be volleyball then maybe a quick merit party so I can get another merit into Ice Acc on RDM then up to sky. Not really sure what I'll have time for because I don't know how RL stuff will pan out since I have a ton of stuff to do ... like laundry. XD

After I got a raise from the LS that was doing terrible against Kirin I got an almost immediate invite from Kota. They were already up in sky farming. So I figured I might as well help out since I'm already there. Luckily after about 3 or so hours of farming we got 3 diorites, 1 MG, and 1 Faust. Since we also popped 2 of the diorites and got the Autumnstones we got 5 more points each. I got 40 points yesterday before sky even STARTED!!!
Once sky started we popped the last diorite and popped a BB. After that I was holding on to every stone and 2/4 gems, which meant I almost had every pop item for the lesser gods. I think we ended up using every pop item I had on me too last night. It was a pretty good night because we sold N Feet for 500k which we definitely earned because we got them to drop off a Suzaku that we didn't do so well on. The biggest problem I had with sky last night is that I am now next in line for Haidate and guess what, 2x Byakko and the bugger didn't drop them either time. We still have 1 more diorite but I think we need another Despot before we can pop Byakko again so I'm hoping I get my kitty pants tonight so I can be much relieved and don't have the necessity of pushing myself in sky anymore. I can lay back a little and maybe concentrate on leveling a job again.
I am thinking that on Wednesday since we don't have sky I may try to snag Disdain and go duo my SAM with his DNC through the desert on pet spiders. Or maybe start up a party and see how well we roll. As I am dropping rapidly in the rankings in ffxiah I feel as though I need to start advancing again since I'm definitely falling behind and I haven't really done anything with Disdain since he came back. Us going and exping together could be some fun even though I don't really have that much gear for my SAM right now, but I'm sure I could gear it quite easily.
The other options I have for Wednesday is crafting or meriting. Both of which are a good idea because they will bring me closer to goals of having a money maker and the goal of becoming a better RDM in turn can be a good money maker. If I get BC up higher I can make RR hairpins and make gil that way. If I get my RDM more pimped I could go farm with Sush or Mac and split the profits of a say a Despot or Ulli which sell for 500k a piece and aren't really that hard with either 2xRDM/NIN or RDM/NIN + BLM. I guess we shall have to see what opportunity arises because I may just end up doing assaults or nyzul isle, WHO KNOWS?!
Tonight will be volleyball then maybe a quick merit party so I can get another merit into Ice Acc on RDM then up to sky. Not really sure what I'll have time for because I don't know how RL stuff will pan out since I have a ton of stuff to do ... like laundry. XD

Almost 2 Weeks Free
Guess what? Girlfriend is back at school for almost 2 weeks, and we all know what that means. That means more time for me to game without interruption. HAZZAH! Aren't I such a great boyfriend? lol
Anyways, this weekend I didn't really get much done. I tried a few Nyzul Isle runs for Goliard and nothing good dropped from any of the runs I went on, and by nothing good I mean no goliard/askar/denali dropped. I have now gone on about 5 or 6 boss runs in Nyzul Isle and have only ever seen 1 piece drop and that was on my first run. Maybe tonight we can start our own Nyzul Isle group like we wanted to this weekend. Hybridkiller, Mactatus, Khrone, and me were going to start a little static and now I guess we found 2 other people to join us for a full group but I only know of Zspa (Hybrid's friend) that was going to join us. I know Disdain wanted in but Hybrid said we were full which is news to me.
There is always Sky to talk about too. We did a Seiryu and 2xKirin last night but only beat 1 Kirin. So we go through this long hassel of getting people's 2hr's reset which works and then we get all set up to go, BRD's 2hr, and Vasel d/c's. He was our 3rd BRD which causes big problems. Not only did the leader of the last party NOT get me in at all but I got to sit out half the fight because no one invited me back in after I gave songs to my first party. Basically I COMPLETELY wasted my 2hr. We got Kirin down to about 20% but people freaked out and couldn't do their jobs apparently so we ended up wiping, oh well. It was really bad luck that Vasel d/c'd just as the BRDs popped their 2hrs.
I need to boost myself in points a little bit because I'm not 1st in line for Haidate like I thought I was. I guess I'm only 2nd in line which isn't cool because I want them next. lol Eh, I just realized I'm 40 points behind the guy ahead of me which is a lot of outside farming. Guess I can wait to be 2nd in line. haha So I know I keep saying this in basically every blog, but once I get haidate out of the way I will feel 10x better about sky. After that I will be pretty much done and then will just be moving on to picking up random other drops.
Outside of that, I have been doing a lot of meriting lately. I am now 8/8 in Enfeebling Magic after being 6/8 for a very long time. The only draw back was that I had to take my 1 lone merit out of String Instrument skill which I never used anyways. Now I have to start working on my RDM and working towards 5/5 Ice Accuracy which I think will just about do it for me and merits for a bit. Although I could really drop some more into Wind Acc but its not as huge a priority anymore. There is always BLM and potency of my spells, but again that is just fluff because I don't really like BLM all that much.
Almost forgot to mention my new dynamis shell. Well we had a whole 6 people show up for dynamis so they scratched it. There are supposedly 15 people in the shell and only 6 showing up is pretty damn sad because they were more than likely 15 good and dedicated people ... guess not. Hopefully they will be all together on Thursday because I really want to try out this low man LS and see how it pans out because this will be my first true low man LS experience. This could blossom into something really nice for myself and my friends.
Tonight I will be hoping that we get our Nyzul Isle group going because I'd love to have floor 100 access by the end of January. This isn't too much of a stretch for a goal I don't think because you can do 7 a week, which is 35 floors, which means you could be done in less than 3 weeks. I am leaving it under the assumption of doing 20 floors every week which we would then be done in 5 weeks, plus figuring in a week off or something end of January is very reasonable. There will be a struggle for some of the gear I'm sure because I know at least myself, Mac, and Hybrid will all be going for Goliard which kind of blows, but oh well. That just means once we all have access we can all do our own pick up floor runs to try to get our own pieces.
Also for tonight, if I'm not doing Nyzul Isle then Sky, I hope to be meriting some more I suppose because I still have oodles of more merits to get.
