I was right about my laptop, I was putting in the wrong IP address. I can now connect to my Ventrilo server and actually so could Khrone. This means that the reason that Hybridkiller couldn't connect 2 nights ago was because I sort of forgot to give him the password. lol Anyways, I think I will finally have my own Ventrilo server now which is pretty sweet. That means we could all be pretty well set up for anything we need it for like Salvage or Nyzul Isle or whatever.
After I found that out about vent, I went to volleyball and won the finals, hurray for money back or a free sweatshirt. After that it was a full night of a SHITTY movie (never watch The Strangers, really bad) and then gf time. Not to mention a bunch of RL drama, which obviously I love whole heartedly.
On a side note, I discovered that Swifman had convinced Alexson to jump servers thus discovering that Swifman ain't comin back. Oh well, another friend on this server bites the dust. Good luck on your longer term stay than I expected Swif.

Well at least we know you can connect to my vent server, now we just actually need mics to test it out.

Ventrilo Must Die
Seriously, so Kota had no problems setting it up, but for some reason I am having a big problem with it. I can connect to my own Ventrilo server running on my computer, but I can't even connect to it from my laptop. The only thing I haven't tried for that is using my internal (inside my router) IP address for my computer. I tried using the outside IP address and the local host and even the 127.0.0.1 addres but none of them worked. Hopefully that will at least fix my internal issues with Vent. Then I'll only have to get a new microphone since mine is apparently broken. Of course then I have to figure out how to have other people get INTO my server from outside ... like the vent site can actually do.
Maybe I'll try out Teamspeak tonight and see how that works out for me.
Last night I was in such a bad mood with the whole Ventrilo stuff that I almost didn't do anything in game. I ended up only doing some Campaign for myself and Screamin. As for Screamineagle he hit 7 merits so I decided to finally to use some up. I threw 2 merits into shield skill and then another merit into Chivalry. 2.5 minutes off of chivalry can actually really add up when you overload it with merits. I guess I should be kind of happy from that but it only curbed the anger a little bit. Hopefully when it comes time I can rank up with both of my chars again but I think I'll still be 1 rank short of the Iron Ram Hose for Screamineagle.
Tonight is finals for volleyball so I'll have that. I have a feeling we're going to win in 3 games (best of 5) so I shouldn't be out too long so maybe I can work a little bit on getting the Vent or TS servers working. But then I will either have sky or gf duty. Guess we'll just see where the night takes me again...

Unlucky But Lucky
Last night I watched the 2nd Naria movie with my gf (which was really long .... "that's what she said") and then my gf went home because she had to wake up early today. With the absense of a gf last night, that meant I could go to sky again. I was all pumped and ready to go all out on some gods and maybe Kirin and of course I was disappointed by a whoping 12 person turn out.
We ended up getting a bunch of pop items which was really nice but sadly we only got to do a Genbu. I guess there was a buyer for the Z Mitts, Regina, that was walking around with a Mandau. Its little things like that that make me /cry. What also made me cry is that Z Mitts didn't drop so we didn't get the almost 800k from the drop. This week may be a big payout week again since not many people will probably get their points for payout. Hurray for that because gil is always nice.
Well I'm back into the thinking of needing a dynamis shell and making a salvage group. The 2 big problems are that I don't have time and my gf will be taking up all of my extra time until she goes back to school. So basically any plans that I am making are strictly for after new years now. Dynamis I'm thinking more and more about going with HellsBells but that also made me just think that starting after new years I have something every wednesday from 7-9. Argh, dynamis is just so hard for me to find a group that goes at the times I want and need. As for Salvage, I still need to find a solid group that wants to go and find regular times to go. I dunno, it just keeps seeming more and more like I will never get through everything I want to, time is just too short.
As for the title, we ended our sky farming at about 2:30 AM last night but the Despot window was just about to reopen. We killed a few mobs before the window opened so no biggie. At about 3:30 AM Hybridkiller and I both state that we're getting a little tired, and I even said that I doubt that if a mob were to do Meltdown I wouldn't be able to stun in time. Guess what happened about 10 seconds after I said that ..... the mob readies Meltdown. I stun it, and then ... BOOM! It still freaking blew up after I stunned it, which makes me confused. Anyways, literally JUST after our mob blows up, the other group of duo guys pop Despot. Unlucky! We have 3 people dead and only myself(blm/whm) and Disdain(brd/whm) are still alive. I raise Hybrid and quickly realize that the duo guys aren't doing so well. Their blm had already died and the RDM was d/cing. After raising Hybrid I threw up stoneskin and blink and then Despot goes unclaimed and I immediately cast bind. Hybrid and I did a great job of bind/graving while he was weakened and we were getting everyone up. Once Orzhov was up he was kiting decently on PLD/NIN, but he needs to learn a little bit more about kiting. As for Hybrid, we need to refine his macros (and my own) if we are to do duo stuff like that because he was casting bind in vermy which means he loses out on the fast cast boost from AF hat which in turn is a 5% haste on his spells, meaning he can cast bind again 5% sooner. All in all we got Lucky and still whooped on Despot and got us each (Khrone, Disdain, Orzhov, Hybridkiller, and myself) 10 points. Now we just need the people in the LS to blow some gods up.
Tonight is another toss up night, but I have a feeling it'll be with my gf again.

Mighty Morphing Power LS
Good news, our LS has changed again! The LS will now be selling every other Haidate to buyers.
This has up sides and down sides. The up side, the people that are looking more for the payout will get exactly that, a bigger payout from us selling the Haidates for 4.75M. The down side, the people that thought they were so close to Haidate have just been bumped down the list by 2x. For example, Khrone was 5th on the list for Haidate so now he is actually 10th. At least he will still be getting his bigger payouts now and maybe our attrition rate for sky will be higher than it seemingly has been because of those bigger payouts. The reasoning behind this change is that newer people were flying up the list for Haidate and not really deserving of it and then leaving the LS once they got it. Thus making it another point to keep people in the LS or those that are just trying to leech out of the LS. I just feel sorry for Hybrid and Khrone because they are going to have to wait longer for their Haidates. There has been more of a push though for more Byakko out put though, like the new goal is 4-6 a week which also means hitting the dio/despot farm hard.
I also got a chance to roll out with Disdain and Khrone to the bird camp in the past. We rolled with 5 people and a PL with 2xDRK, 2xSAM, and DNC plus Screamin as a PL. I almost never ran out of MP because I had just gotten a discounted Vermy from Hybrid (thank you sir) for when I helped him out. We ROCKED that spot and I went from 51-54 on SAM without much of a problem. It was a great party, especially when you are doing 10k+/hr on a level 37-41 job. My only wish is that I could use my Soboro for some fun fun damage and weapon skilling. I also really wish I wasn't main tanking because I was full timing Seigan and Third Eye which meant my damage output wasn't what it could have been, but it was still good damage when I could break out Hasso because someone else pulled a lot of hate.
I don't have much time left in the day, so I'll come to a quite quick ending. Tonight I'll probably be with my gf most of the night if not all of the night so that means I don't even know if I'll get to log on for sky tonight which means they probably won't be able to do Kirin. Well, they might if they have all the right people up there.... /sigh. Anyways, until tomorrow.

International Harvester
The plan last night was for a Kirin off the bat and maybe some lesser gods. As we only had about 16 total throughout the night we ended up scratching Kirin and just farmed. We aren't sure what xxKFBxx does up there because we went and killed an NM every half hour while there without competition while they just farmed diorite, I'm pretty sure the whole time. They tried to get Despot but our guys got him and then somehow they swiped claim and killed, but because they had stolen claim from us they gave us the gem.
After despot, we just rolled through everything else, SC, MG, Zip, Faust, got a diorite(from the Nexus camp), and then got 2x waters too. I don't know how all those NMs were up when KFB could've had all of them dead before we got there, but instead they still stayed at Ulli. It is kinda sad to see how terrible their LS is when it comes sky. With how many people they have there they could've cleaned sky up but didn't. That left our LS basically free roam of sky and destroying everything .... darn.
Sunday will hopefully be another good day for me if I can get away from my girlfriend because I'm already pretty high again in points and I don't think anyone is going for D Body anymore. I might as well snag one while I can. After that I'm just going for D Legs and D Head and I'll be golden. Hurray for a plan for my future, now I just have to see how it works out for myself. lol
This weekend is basically shot because I'm sure my gf will be with me 85% of the weekend which leaves me no time to game. Hopefully I can get back to the game Sunday night so I can try to be there for a possible 2xKirin night and some extra gods. I'm getting really excited for Sunday because that means I could have some really nice gear to ding into for when my SAM gets to 75. :D

Soboro Sukehiro
Well, this week has turned out pretty darn good for me, first Byakko Haidate and now Soboro Sukehiro. I must say I am quite pleased with myself now. My SAM is going to shape out to be pretty fun to level now.
I finally broke down and bought Fuma Kyahan on Tuesday night because there was no way I was going to camp that stupid NM since all I have heard are horror stories, for instance Mactatus being 0/54 on it. Now I have a lot of really good gear for myself between 50 and 75. My list contains Fuma, Soborro, Swift Belt, Rajas Ring, Jaeger Ring, Storm Loop, and now Soboro. That gear right there could basically take me to 75 right now. As for a body piece I have Jujitsu Gi until my Hauby which I can use til end game. The only piece that I am kind of lacking on is a head piece. I plan on buying Valkyrie Mask but someone was trying to up the price on it. Although, last night while we were farming tar in the 40 cap Riverne site we found that the Carmine Dobsonflies were up. So tonight or maybe this weekend some time I'd love to get out there and blow them up as getting a Voyager Sallet would really top off my gear until end game.
That brings me to my actual end game gear in sky. Tonight we will probably be trying to do 2xKirin which means Sush has a good chance of being done with the LS. Which also means I need to try to get my hands on whatever I possibly can. I have decided that Heca isn't nearly a priority for myself as Dryadic gear since I feel that it would take less of an effort to get Heca gear from outside the LS as it would Dryadic. Plus I just feel that I could really deck out my SAM better than I could my WAR. The biggest problem of course lies in the Hagun, which is hands down the expensive part of SAM since it is 3.2M right now. Guess that means I need to keep a group going on ENM runs to try and get it to drop. Can we see that I'm getting ahead of myself since my SAM is only 51 and Hagun is 72 and I'm just as far from Shura gear as well. lol Oh the thrill and excitement of another job to 75.
Tonight I have volleyball so between that and sky I don't think I'll have any time to level my SAM. Then tomorrow night my gf will be home and I will probably be with her all night as the same goes for Saturday because she loves to spend every second with me. Maybe I can get a hiatus from her and be able to exp SAM on Sunday. Hopefully sit in the bird camp for about 5 levels or so to just get myself rolling again. Oh snap, I just remembered I haven't done my AF for SAM yet either ... dammit. Guess that's something else I have to get going on especially since I have to finish my DRG AF before I can do my SAM.
Ok BESIDES, what my future plans are beyond tonight, I still have sky tonight. We have at least 1 Kirin pop set and then depending on what else we can farm or already have we may be able to do some lesser gods and possibly another Kirin. I am just hoping that I will be able to get something tonight to help with my gear selection for end game on MNK and SAM. We shall see what this evening brings I suppose.

Byakko's Haidate
First off, BOOYAHHHH BABY!!!! Byakko's Haidate is now mine!!! What has 2 thumbs and just turned into a loot whore? THIS GUY!
Let me tell you though, I EARNED that Haidate. The first Byakko we popped our tanks got dropped real fast for some reason, possibly because of Lightsday but all we know is they got pwnd. So in order to try and save it and not lose the pop set they asked me to keep dying and keep it from depoping. I lost 14k exp last night total from gods and getting to gods. In the end we got most of the alliance back up and ready to try again at Byakko. We get up, 20% of Byakko gone and 1 tank drops. Another 10% later the 2nd tank dies. Finally we say screw it and gave up on that one and let him depop. So basically I lost 14k exp for NOTHING! I was quite angry at that point and at which I didn't even think getting Haidate could make me feel better. Well, I was partially wrong. I did feel a lot better when I got Haidate but I was still a little peeved. It was good that Exion got his Haidate last night too. Poor Malikeye is next in line for Haidate again and he will hopefully get his tomorrow or maybe next week.
I do have to thank Sush a lot because after sky ended he sent me a tell saying that now that I have gotten Haidate he's pretty much accomplished all he wanted to do with this sky LS because the main people that he's friends with have gotten their big pieces of gear, like for me W Legs and Haidate. Even Khrone has gotten his D Body which is awesome. Now if only we could get lucky with some extra diorite and get a few more Haidates to drop so Khrone can get his we will be very set for Salvage. The gear and gil has helped greatly from this LS but now its time to start snagging the gear that I would like for when I get my SAM to 75 and the gear that has been holding my WAR back from being really good. All of the gear is kind of just junk gear to every LS now because its so common. There are very few people in our LS that want any more Heca gear or any more Shura gear besides the body pieces. Which opens the door for me. :D
Next week I will be looting as much as I can so there will be even less for me to need to get if I ever do decide to come back to sky after this LS folds. Hopefully by the time this LS truely goes under I will have MOST of what I want. Honestly the big gear I want is the Shura gear since SAM is my next job to 75. Heca would be nice but not necessary. Not to sound selfish, but I hope Sush doesn't get his N Body for at least a week or so because then I can have time to loot whore. hehe
Tonight right after work Mactatus is trying to put together a Soboro run which I am definitely up for because not having that is what originally stopped me from leveling SAM any further than 40. If I can snag that I will be EXSTATIC! Not to mention this would probably end up being one of my top weeks in my FFXI playing time because I would've gotten 2 really good pieces of gear the same week. After the soboro run we're hoping to finish off Khrone's Promyvion-Dem but if we can't get a group together for that we may try to exp with Disdain's DNC. His DNC is almost 37 which is prime bird camp leveling and I know I could find some good DD in our shell that would be willing to go crazy exping there. I think Mactatus got 10 levels (45-55) in just that camp on Monday. I am more than willing to spend basically all night there because that could mean getting my SAM from 51-58 and then throwing on my Hauby.
Quote of the Day:
Sush has made a vote:
Please vote if you want Lux removed from the LS:
1) Yes
2) No
- Final tallly was 11-6 in favor of getting kicked out. So no more Lux in our LS and as a parting gift Sush was kind enough to give Lux N Hands which I thought was very classy because Lux had done a lot of farming on his own to help the LS out so he did deserve a sort of going away gift. Kudos to Sush for being classy. And thank goodness for the biggest loud mouth in the LS being gone.

I did feel a lot better when I got Haidate but I was still a little peeved. It was good that Exion got his Haidate last night too. Poor Malikeye is next in line for Haidate again and he will hopefully get his tomorrow or maybe next week.
I do have to thank Sush a lot because after sky ended he sent me a tell saying that now that I have gotten Haidate he's pretty much accomplished all he wanted to do with this sky LS because the main people that he's friends with have gotten their big pieces of gear, like for me W Legs and Haidate. Even Khrone has gotten his D Body which is awesome. Now if only we could get lucky with some extra diorite and get a few more Haidates to drop so Khrone can get his we will be very set for Salvage. The gear and gil has helped greatly from this LS but now its time to start snagging the gear that I would like for when I get my SAM to 75 and the gear that has been holding my WAR back from being really good. All of the gear is kind of just junk gear to every LS now because its so common. There are very few people in our LS that want any more Heca gear or any more Shura gear besides the body pieces. Which opens the door for me. :D
Next week I will be looting as much as I can so there will be even less for me to need to get if I ever do decide to come back to sky after this LS folds. Hopefully by the time this LS truely goes under I will have MOST of what I want. Honestly the big gear I want is the Shura gear since SAM is my next job to 75. Heca would be nice but not necessary. Not to sound selfish, but I hope Sush doesn't get his N Body for at least a week or so because then I can have time to loot whore. hehe
Tonight right after work Mactatus is trying to put together a Soboro run which I am definitely up for because not having that is what originally stopped me from leveling SAM any further than 40. If I can snag that I will be EXSTATIC! Not to mention this would probably end up being one of my top weeks in my FFXI playing time because I would've gotten 2 really good pieces of gear the same week. After the soboro run we're hoping to finish off Khrone's Promyvion-Dem but if we can't get a group together for that we may try to exp with Disdain's DNC. His DNC is almost 37 which is prime bird camp leveling and I know I could find some good DD in our shell that would be willing to go crazy exping there. I think Mactatus got 10 levels (45-55) in just that camp on Monday. I am more than willing to spend basically all night there because that could mean getting my SAM from 51-58 and then throwing on my Hauby.
Quote of the Day:
Sush has made a vote:
Please vote if you want Lux removed from the LS:
1) Yes
2) No
- Final tallly was 11-6 in favor of getting kicked out. So no more Lux in our LS and as a parting gift Sush was kind enough to give Lux N Hands which I thought was very classy because Lux had done a lot of farming on his own to help the LS out so he did deserve a sort of going away gift. Kudos to Sush for being classy. And thank goodness for the biggest loud mouth in the LS being gone.
