Here's my new chocobo look. Xean originally found this one and showed it to me when he was spending his break with me. I really liked the armor and loaded it as soon as I could.
And then for fun, I was looking for a few mob .dats and saw one that said "Fenrir Crab". I had a look and figured i'd try it and this was what Mr. Crab looks like now. Unfortunately though, the pic below was enhanced a bit so you could see the colors. In game, its harder to see the pattern and it looks like a dull purple, so i'll probably be changing it to something a little brighter.
And here's my new design for Zerayla. I have always had a thing for green eyes, and when Xean started playing around with .dat editing I asked if he thought he could make my character's eyes green. He gave it a try and it turned out great. You can't see them all to well in this pic, but its a nice little detail that i'm happy with. I wish I knew more about .dat editing, there would be so much I would love to create. Maybe i'll try it out when I have more time and patience, lol.So for updates. Lets see... Me and Xean got our WAR and THF to 60. We wanted to catch up to our static because they are all 60 or 61. We managed to get a decent party, and the galka RDM was very good at MP management so there was almost never any resting time. The only downside is there was no astral candescence so we didn't manage to pull in as much xp as we had hoped. Either way, we got our lvl. But now due to well...the event in my post before this, we've lost a static member and another one has recently obtained a job and will be starting in August. So our static consists of 5 members, and I think once August comes around we'll have to go our own seperate ways. I was really looking forward to being able to lvl with friends too ; ;
Throughout this week and weekend, me and Xean and other ls members have tried to get me an assault jerkin. I never really cared for this item, but seeing as I find myself on RDM so much more often, I figured it would be nice to have when i'm not fighting IT mobs. I plan on using it for farming weak mobs, and just using it as part of my melee setup. Well though we haven't had so much bad luck getting Ose, he's usually spawned within 1-2hrs for us anytime we've camped it... we have yet to see him drop the assault jerkin. We're now sitting at 0/6 as of last night, and yes everytime Xean's been in my pt, well actually no... my first time he wasn't, but still I'm just going to say his luck was to blame. I think somehow i've caught his bad luck >_<
Saturday I spent the day helping out LS members with their CoP. Unfortunately they don't have a full static, so most of the time when they do their missions they have to shout for a 6th. Well I ended up coming out to help them on my WAR which was pretty fun. We did some farming in Sacarium to get a coral key, that took a good hour to get. Then we did some wandering around for them to get their cutscenes and we fought some Ramuh look-alike NM called Keremet. Then we ended up moving from room to room to get a ghost called Old Professor Miraselle to pop. Luckily it only took us about 3 tries to find him, where as when I had done this mission with my static it took us 3hrs if not more. The fight took a while but we got through it and now Spalko, Soulstar, Clarisse and their other static members can move onto Vazhl.
And Sunday was pretty packed with events. I woke up early to do an avatar run for a few members. Not many people were able to show up for this run, at first it was just myself, Standpoint and Audri. We managed to do Ifrit, Leviathan and Shiva before Audri had to leave for work.
These fights went pretty smoothly. Then myself and Standpoint duo'ed Ramuh.
After a little break for lunch, Sabene had finished dynamis and asked to join up with us. So we went ahead and did Titan and Garuda. I reaaaaaally liked all the buffs I was getting, those avatars had NOTHING on me!
Unfortunately though, Titan apparently hacks because he one shotted Sabene. ; ;
After we had finished with the avatars, we headed out to camp mysticmaker to get Standpoint his Moldavite Earring. Our first two spawns we were beat by some other campers, but that was ok because the ones who did get claim were pretty nice and wished us luck for the claim too.
In between Mystic, we would camp Ose like mentioned above. It was finally on the 3rd pop for Mysticmaker that we got claim thanks to Xean. For once the NM spawned right beside him and he got it right away, and then our group went all out and just obliverated the gob, I swear he didn't know what hit him. And we got the drop!
Throughout we had a few other LS members join us for a bit, and we'd just kill random things to wait for the NMs to pop.
We had planned on camping him again because originally we were going to get a moldavite earring for both Standpoint and Pasquale, but Pas had to logout for the night. Hopefully we can get his in the next couple of days, I know he's planning on taking his BLM a bit further now and it would be nice to have the earring in his gear setup.
After that, we headed back to Ose and when Josudes showed up we decided to add his NM to the list of what were going to kill that night. He wanted a goblin that drops some dagger for THF, so after we had killed Ose we started killing the placeholder goblins for his NM. After about 30 minutes his NM popped and because he was so excited he pulled right away. We would of been fine but an elemental had spawned and I had taken my chances when casting magic and well... I aggroed the elemental. ; ;
I wasn't able to keep Xean alive because I was also trying to sleep another gob BST that had linked and after Xean and Josudes died I tried to high-tail it out. Sadly, those stupid puddles that are hard to see prevented me and I couldn't dodge a torama and I ended up eating dirt too. I HPed and brought out my WHM instead and after raising everyone and getting rested up, we took down Soulstealer Skullnix... but again no drop! >_<
For the rest of the night, we tried to wait on Ose to pop but I guess the kitty didn't like that we'd killed him so much, because after 3hrs we didn't see him and I eventually had to logout because of work the next morning. Oh well, we'll get those NMs sometime.
aaaaaaaaaand, one really awesome thing to note this week is that i've joined another sky LS, KeitaroAeon. Some good friends of mine had told me that they were more of a laid back casual sky LS, which really appealed to me because I really like being able to give most of my online time to TheBrotherhood. Well i've been with them two nights already and not only does everyone seem to be organized and know what they're doing, but they're also very friendly and helpful. I almost feel like i'm at home in TheBrotherhood when i'm up there in sky with this group, and that was exactly the experience I was looking for.
We killed a few gods on Friday - Seiryu and Byakko. These fights were really easy and we only had one death so it really does seem like most of these people know how to handle themselves. As for the drops though, I think only a couple of things dropped. I ended up getting to lot on Byakko's Axe which i'll use on my WAR down the road, because that went to free lot. I also tried to bid my current points that I had on getting the abjuration for the Koenig Schaller, but because of my noobness I did this in LS chat when I had meant to send it as a /tell to the person accepting bids. So basically, all the PLDs knew what the minimum bid was going to be because they now knew mine, lol. But that's ok, I didn't have many points and I was sure I wasn't going to win the bid anyways. There'll be another time, so far i'm having fun and its even better because Xean has also joined and will be able to keep me company.
Oh and last, I felt like sharing this pic I took while in Valkurm Dunes. I did 3 different versions (using photoshop) and really liked how they turn out. I plan to use these in a future wallpaper or signature. Valkurm isn't all that bad ^^
