Oh geez

So wow I don't know what to say I haven't updated in forever. I don't know when the last time I posted was and too lazy to look up what it was about. I am pretty sure that since last post I have got quite a few pieces for my BLM that I am very proud of. Selenian Cap, though I do want to do fight again so I can change some stats on it. Goliard cuffs which are actually arguably better than the coveted zenith mitts though they lack the mp and have 1 lower MAB the Magic Accuracy more than makes up for it in my opinion.

Also I bought both the Witch Sash and Ixion Cape. The Witch sash replaced my penitent's rope. It has the same MND and INT but I lose the enmity - 4. Which isn't a good thing but I also gain 2 more magic accuracy and magic critical hit rate +2%. Though it rarely proc's even with the 10% on my selenian cap as well. (Which is why I want to change stats on the cap) The Ixion Cape is an upgrade for both my solitaire cape and my rainbow cape. (I decided to forgo the Prism Cape on my quest to get this). It has the most INT and MND combined on any one cape and also adds 20 hp and - 2 enmity.

Lastly I traded in my Suppa for an Abyssal earring which is a great gives me an extra INT point while nuking as well as extra dark magic skill for my aspir and drain macro's. I am very happy we were able to do Divine Might to get this done and even picked up some new earrings for a few first timers. I want to say Congratulations and Thank You to all who attended and made it possible.

I also have to thank and say good bye to one of the coolest people I've met playing FFXI. Mrpiddlex. You may remember him from our adventure with the evil demon "Brothers". Even though you have logged out for your last time your Legacy is one that will forever be a part of Vana'diel. I want to wish you the best of luck in your career and I rest easy knowing that at least a small group of the youth of america are in good hands. I want to thank you again for helping to make my dreams of Ixion's Cape a reality for me.

I am currently working on getting SAM to 75. I am 70 now and only a little over 5k tnl. At the same time I am trying to attain new medals in the past. My hate of campaign is finally coming back to bite me in the ass. I lost many medals over the last year and it is going to be a long time before I can get some of the gear I want for both SAM and BLM because of that.

Onto my pipe dream SE have dubbed Mythic Weapons. I actually have now defeated Odin. Leaving only one salvage boss and the three beastman leaders in the first quest on attaining my mythic. Still before I want to attempt getting help with the beastman leaders I need to complete ToAU. Currently we are doing Altana missions which have a great story and I am greatly looking forward to the conclusion (though it's not in the game yet). Though Itaz has promised me ToAU will be next for our group!

Sorry this is going to be a pretty long post. Unfortunately today had another dash in both my attempts to complete a Salvage piece and obtaining my mythic. The salvage boss run was canceled and unfortunately (I don't think it was on purpose but was still upseting) salvage didn't happen at all. I have a feeling it was due to the way the posts and lsmes were worded but oh well shit happens.

Then Tinnin was a disaster today. I am not sure what went wrong but we just didn't seem to have enough support for the tanks or something because they kept dying. Eventually this lead to Tinnin completely raping our whole alliance. Dashing my hopes for a trophy and all other drops for the ls. Tinnin has been a very upsetting experience for me and I think quite a few others feel the same. We've spent months getting to the point where we could pop him and with the 4 pop items we had we only seen the drops off of 1 of them.

I'm sure we will get to him again but it was still bad for morale to see all that hard work go down the drain. I also spent a lot of time today getting merits. I put my first 2 upgrades into elemental magic and put my second upgrade into lightning potency. I still have 2 merit point left and need one more before I decide where to spend it.

I also did a few ODS runs a while back and did more today. I had held the record before we went today, and we beat the record several times today and beat it one final time again on my orb. So once again my name is on the record with a time of 1 minute and 14 seconds. Unfortunately setting records didn't carry over into luck with drops. Nothing but junk for all. A couple people got the newly no longer trash warwolf belt but still it wasn't enough to be worth splitting between the 5 of us.

Tybo and I have pretty regularly going to both the Brother's and Sheep in Antlion's Clothing ENM's. We've got both done pretty well. We've got a couple good drops from both of them but still haven't seen the highest priced items from either. (The Hagun and the Hedgehog Bomb.) When the Hagun finally does drop I am wanting to give Tybo half it's worth so I can keep it for my SAM. After the purchase of the Ixion Cape I am still 500k short of the half-priced Hagun. Though if it drops before that I am sure Tybo would float me the rest.

I'm sure there is a lot of stuff I missed but there is no way I can remember everything I've done since my last post. Hopefully I will remember to post more often though. Thanks for reading and I'll see you in game.
