Fantastic Fraulein Mumor Superheroine Stage Show! and lots more

4 August 2008 by Alraunne

Looks like I’ve gotten behind again, so this’ll be a long post. School started last week so I haven’t had a lot of time to write and get stuff done on FFXI too. I need to start just writing on weekends or something…

First things first, I finally got around to getting Ifrit (Yeah, I know, right? :( ). It took a couple days to actually get to it, though… Nynja was going to help me, but he forgot to turn in his whisper… Then the next day Nyn got Maikeru to do it, but he hadn’t turned in his Whisper either… :x So a couple days later Nyn got on and we finally got to fighting Ifrit.

Lots to catch up on

16 July 2008 by Alraunne

I’m gonna try making use of the “More” tag here, because this is gonna be a long one! Sorry! In fact, I think I might go back and stick a More tag in all of these…

So shortly after our bit of a hiatus here, I finally went out to get my Kukulcan’s Staff at like… level 45 or something. New LS member/server member Nynja helped me out with this one. Too bad I’m probably never going to use it. (That’s his Fenrir there, if you didn’t already assume that.)

Celestial Nights ‘08: Faithfulness Under Fire

4 July 2008 by Alraunne

Yesterday and today I finally got around to doing this event. It was pretty fun and I liked the prizes. c: I kinda hope they still do the Sunbreeze Festival this year, though… that’s where you’d always get the yukata before, right?

To anyone that reads this, yeah this part of the site kinda died a while ago. @_@ We’re back though and a decent amount of stuff has happened, so I’ll try to get us all up to speed!

Beginnings

Beginnings: BLU AF1

Thanks to some help to our LS buddy Tiupiu, I was able to make it to all of the staging points (alive). Getting the brands of the five serpents from each of the Immortals there, I was presented with the Immortal’s Scimitar.

I took a few screenshots of my journey, which can be viewed in this album. (I don’t have any screenshots of Mt. Zhayolm because I used the Runic Portal to get the CS there.)

The Opo-Opo Can Die: Still Learning Magic

I don’t know if I want to be “one with the Opo-Opos” now. Man, those things hurt. Learning Blank Gaze was a pain, even as BLU40/NIN20. Despite the fact that they were only Easy Prey, they hit hard, fast, and have that ever-present Double Attack that 80%+ of the monsters post-level 30 seem to have.  Blank Gaze was the very first TP attack I saw — only I used Head Butt at the same time, so it never hit me. I didn’t see it again for another three Opo-Opos. Finally, I ended up going 1/4 on Blank Gaze. Then a Goblin Poacher aggro’d and killed me as I tried to find my way back to Kazham.

Getting a Raise and Teleport-Holla, I decided to run to Ghelsba Outpost for Blastbomb before I got any stronger (thus, making it difficult to learn weak-mob spells) and it was a good thing I did now: Those warmachines didn’t last too long, even when I used my DMG:1 signet staff. I went 1/3 on Blastbomb (which is admittedly highly disappointing for a level 18 spell) and the whole ordeal took around two hours, making Blastbomb the third-longest spell I took to learn (after Cocoon and Healing Breeze).

That’s about it for now. Look forward to BRD, SAM(?), NIN, and Alchemy updates soon.

Couldn’t think of anything for this one

Some Blue Magics

Today we started off getting the BLU spells Azul was missing. He got Poison Breath on his own in Gusgen Mines, but we both went to Delkfutt’s Tower together to get him Mysterious Light. A nice random WHM helped us out with that. :3

Yaaay party

29 March 2008 by Alraunne

Besieged

Azul and I took a trip to Whitegate to increase the accessibility of our Mog Lockers… While we were there a level 8 Besieged started so we jumped in to grab some EXP. I died a few times but it was really cool to watch. And there was lots of drama.

“This guy, he keeps pulling trains to us and killing us!”

“Cure plz”

“Keep shouting for cure, it really helps!”

Drama and action rolled into one. So much fun.

Alchemy, Chivalry, and Melody

28 March 2008 by Azulmagia

I haven’t written in a couple days, but that’s because I didn’t want to write a meaningless post. With everything that’s happened in the past few days, I think I’ve got enough stuff to write about now.

Alchemy

I’ve adopted a new hobby: Alchemy. Studying the recipes that alchemists are capable of, I decided that it would be a generally profitable and fun craft to master. In a couple of days, creating antidotes out of juices and herbs, and waxy blades out of my self-crafted beeswax, I’ve become a level 5 Alchemist. I’ve still got a long way to go, but I’m looking forward to all the experiences. Once I can start making high-quality Wax Swords, I’ll be able to start profiting some.

Chivalry

I haven’t played on Paladin in awhile, and I felt like it, so yeah. I bought myself almost an entirely new set of armour, farmed Quadavs for their Shell Shield. It was a risky job, but it was fun. Didn’t die until near the end of the party, in which I just finished up the level in the Horutoto Ruins.

(I have to say: Tarutaru Paladins are definitely the cutest of the bunch)

Melody

As Rau said in her post earlier, I unlocked Bard. It’s been a fun little job so far — it’s very entertaining to watch me play a flute.

Our party of four had a few issues with the Balloons Self-Destructing and hunting me down in the Outer Horutoto Ruins, however… so now I’ve resorted to solo training in Gustaberg farming Beehive Chips for Alchemy and Requieming worms for laughs.

Fraelissa

Yeah, I finally found her–twice. No drop either time, and I died the second time, so that’s a bit frustrating. Turns out the bow isn’t terribly expensive in AH, though, nor some other good bows, so… perhaps I’ll just skip trying to get the drop from her. At least I met her finally.

Until next time!~

Hum…

28 March 2008 by Alraunne

Yeah… Leveled WAR some more today.
Azul and I and two other LS members hit the southern tower in East Sarutabaruta. Not really interesting until a bomb killed three of us while the SCH was trying out his 2-hour… I was the one that lived, of course. Then a goblin aggro’d me and I used a spell and a bomb jumped in. Hrm.

I got to level 7… Kinda tired right now though, hopefully I’ll feel more like stuff tomorrow.

Azulmagia unlocked Bard but he’s probably going to write about it later.

Not much today

24 March 2008 by Alraunne

Yeah, I didn’t get a lot of time on today because I had math homework to do…

Boring job + occasional LS member = not so boring

Because of what that one party was like to me the other day, I decided to train up Warrior to sub for Dragoon. Unfortunately… melee jobs just don’t keep me too entertained while going solo. A member of the LS who rarely gets on partied with me with her RDM today, though, so that kept it exciting. :P

Funny firework thing

“Creepy…”
