KS99 and more Fafnir

Jun 30

Posted by arrode in BCNM, HNM | No Comments

Today the LS did KS99 The Early Bird Catches the Wyrm. Approximately 8 people got to use their orbs today and the rest are scheduled for tomorrow’s run. I ended up forgetting to screenshot my drops, but ended up with about 2.3 million in drops including an Unsho, dragon heart, and some weird axe that I keep forgetting the name of. No speed belts in this set of orbs (Ashy apparently won one last time they did KS99, lucky bastard!), but we have tomorrow to hope for some awesome drops.

Besides the KS99, we camped Fafnir and claimed it tonight. Some decent drops, no Ridill as people were hoping.

Not sure what I’m going to do with my drop money. I’m probably going to use it to uncurse my Zenith Pumps and repurchase some RDM gear. It’s so weird how 2 mil goes so much further in today’s economy.

Alchemy, glitches, ENM

May 17

Posted by arrode in BCNM, Crafting | No Comments


Long time since last update. Been busy primarily with real-life things which you can read about in my other livejournal, coro_net. Besides that, been bumming around, doing nothing much besides crafting in XI. Trying to get to 100 alchemy as soon as possible, but it’s been sooo slow. Not only have Philosopher’s Stones been boosted to 100,000G a piece, but they are also extremely rare. ; ; I’m lucky if I can get 2-3 stones per day and the chance of me skilling up is still excruciatingly slow. Currently at 96.6+2. Working as hard as I can.


Had a few weird alchemy experiences. Managed to HQ Panacea twice, which was so awesome I just had to screenshot it. :3 Now if this could only happen with Hawkers Knives!


Had another weird glitch a few days back where I logged in to find my subjob removed. @_@; I noticed it when I tried to warp myself and was unsuccessful, noticed my MP was weirdly low, then checked my status bar. Was kind of cool, actually.


This made me extremely proud. :3 My highest magic burst on my RDM. Ever. :D


And Shandi wins the random quote of the day award.


And Xen wins the nice award for talking about the Wise gear JSE for RDM. -.- jerkkk!

Finished BRD AF. It’s all tucked away in storage now. :3


Did ENM and got some vereh nice items, a Commander’s Cape for Mortallocke and Eltoro Leather for myself, which I used to create Wise Braconi (shown below):

They look kind of dorky, but hey. I haven’t had too much a chance to try out the accuracy yet though.

Additionally, I am now WHM60. ^_^ I love WHM AF, it’s so cute. Not much else to say, vacation started today, so more FFXI time. Joy!

Diablos BCNM

Jan 2

Posted by arrode in BCNM, Chains of Promathia, EXP | No Comments


Completed the Diablos BC with Kiyara, Zephyrs, Shandi, Dbaby, and Keys a few days ago. Took us two tries to win. First time was pretty decent until Diablos started to spam his AoE Nightmare. He did it back to back about 3 times and we were dead before we could even wake up from it. 2nd run we were a bit more lucky. Only did Nightmare once. I have to say that was a really neat BC. I thought it was pretty cool how the floor tiles did drop out. Thanks to Kiyara’s previous knowledge of the BC though, we were all ok. ^^ Hopefully we’ll do Site #B01 soon.

And of course, the main reason for this post. I have now obtained LV75 on my RDM! Wow, it was a very nice feeling to see myself hit 75. Almost exactly a year after I started, I finally have one LV75 job. ^^ I can say it’s been very rewarding and I am extremely happy to finally have completed RDM. (Well, not technically since I have merit points to work on.) I guess now my main focus will be to get my relic gear from Dynamis if I can. Since I’m located in Asia, time zones for Dynamis with most NA LSes are terrible. ; ; Hopefully I’ll be able to make the Saturday runs when people start doing the 4 cities again. I think everyone is on Xarcabard now. >_<; Still considering what to make my 2nd job.

Class starts back up for me tomorrow. Urgh, hatred. Six more months of servitude and my contract with HS is over. I’m so very glad. My New Year Resolution? To get out more. I think I spent entirely too much time on FFXI these past few months. I need to get out and see the sunlight.


^ Yeah that was pretty insane. o_O; We would’ve made more if there were more mobs.

Joyeuse obtained

Dec 24

Posted by arrode in BCNM, Sky | No Comments

Today was a very awesome FFXI day for me. Had lots of fun, honestly, and I thank Zephy for it. I logged in considering EXPing, but Zeph convinced me to go skill up sword, which I did in the manta NM room in Sea Serpent Grotto hoping for the Chary to pop. I spent some time (a few hours) killing mantas before, holy hell, it did spawn. I think I went ballistic waiting for LS and friends to get there so I could get my lovely sword, which I did. <3 The Joyeuse is So. Incredibly. Awesome. I think the double attack rate is about 65%-75%. It’s awesome. Thank you to all who came and thank you to Zenshin and Zephyrs for helping me wtfpwn the placeholders. ^_^

Did Genbu x3 with the LS for the first time tonight. I was amazed how easy he was… We had wayyy too many people, I’d say 6 could easily handle it. I kinda felt bad for Genbu, getting kited pointlessly around like that for the 10 mins or so it lived. ; ; Poor thing.

Did a few BCNM60’s with Londeyr and Mortallocke a few days back. Only one spectacle drop, which made me sad. I was unrealistic hoping for 6 drops so I could keep my own pair! Hehe, oh well. Someday I’ll be able to afford my own~.

Tomorrow is Christmas eve, to all who celebrate. Happy holidays, all. My best wishes.


And something pretty to leave you all with…

BC99

Posted by arrode in BCNM, Video | No Comments

Did BCNM99 with the linkshell today. ^_^ Lots of fun! Won three out of the four runs making notED the first and only NA HNMLS on the Fairy server to win. We rock! Congrats to all those who got interesting items.

Movie file will be hosted at three locations. Once uploaded, I will list all three for those interested. Please don’t overkill my server though. I’ll have to take it down at times if it really kills my bandwidth.

Full Battle Recordings – Warning, filesize is friggin’ huge

Images are few on my part. Too busy running around crazily.
