The most important event to have happened this weekend, was killing Tzee Xicu The Manifest which is an HNM that spawns every couple of days in Castle Oztroja. Myself, Xean, Arimis, Sabene, Alianne and Archmage had gone up there to farm the coffer key for Alianne. Arimis had noticed that the NM was up on his wide scan, and so we told Xean to go change to NIN so that we could take him.
Well, our plan had been to pull the other NMs that are nearby Tzee Xicu, but somehow Xean ended up aggroing him with the NMs so our start was a bit confusing and chaotic. Finally though, we had Alianne and Arimis killing the 2 adds while Xean tanked the HNM. I was enfeebling/refreshing and hasting, and we had Sabene keeping up her songs and Archmage was healing away. We took about an hour to kill him in total, but it was fun the whole fight. We didn't get any expensive drops, however the daylight dagger did drop which myself and Arimis lotted for. I won, which was surprising because I have bad luck with lots (just have a look at my dynamis records -_-). I was quite happy with the new dagger, and am strongly considering to use it with my Joyeuse because the dmg is quite high.
What else... Oh, well Evanai (Lokelani) and Sirivalin finally got their chance to get into Kaizen which is one of the biggest endgame LSs on our server. As happy as I am that they're going to be able to progress in areas that I would of never been able to help them with TBH, i'm still a bit sad to see them go. They aren't "leaving" TBH, but and endgame shell like Kaizen isn't your typical 2-3 day event linkshell. From what i've heard, they do things daily and so this means that in order for Ev and Siri to stand a chance to get decent gear, they'll be required to commit the majority of their time over there.
Those two will definitely be missed. They were both around a lot to help TBH get to where it is now, leading and organizing missions and I don't think anyone can deny that they were two of the more vocal people in our linkshell often making everyone laugh. I hope they do well, and eventually get to come back to us fulltime but knowing FFXI like I do, I don't think that'll be happening soon.
And of course, this means I need to start really keeping an eye out for members of TBH that can help with the leadership. Lately a lot of our leaders have been taking breaks, and we've been getting a new influx of new players which is really great because those are the kinds of players that we enjoy helping most... teaching them the ropes. So unless I bring on board some new leaders, I think i'm going to have my work cut out for me and there's only so much I can get done x_x. There's a lot of people needing various CoP and ZM missions lately, so when I get back from my break i'll probably get back into organizing those again and help them out.
Last, here's a pic of me and Xean with our new Ohats that I forgot to post the last time! (I changed my .dat for the Ohat to a feminine beret because I can't stand the sight of that ugly witch hat x_x)
