Probably the best drop we got off Aspi so far. Double GOOD drops. Congrats to the two new owners of Dalmaticas. ^^


And for the most interesting ASCII art in FFXI for the week.

Dynamis Jeuno

Yeah. Anyway did Dynamis-Jeuno today. x2 NIN, DRK, THF dropped. ; ; No RDM sadly. Was a pretty smooth run.

Working on leveling my WHM now since I’m taking a break from BRD till a certain friend of mine gets back. Got to LV57 which wasn’t too bad, though I really hate pickup parties. ; ; I wish I could find a static, but so few people in the LS play at this time of night (JP time zone). Meh.

Hit 93.0 Alchemy a few days ago. Have to level on Papillion, which sucks since it’s like 40k a synth. -.- My first synth did go to good use though as you can see below. :3

We managed to claim Aspidochelone yesterday, which was pretty adrenaline rushing for me as this was the first time I’ve fought the HNM with the LS (Usually it’s always in NA primetime and I’m either asleep or at class). The drops were awful though, Shura Feet for what the LS says was the fourth time in a row. ; ; I was so praying for Dalmatica or Crimson (DROOL) or hell, even Koenig for our PLDs. But yes, turtle is a bastage. Arvin outpulled 2 other LSes out there for the turtle. Good job! ^^

Starting the fight.

Death to turtle.

Real-Life Picture

Arrode from Fairy. Thought I’d throw this up here. I added my picture to the FFXI Players gallery. This picture was taken for Zephyrs, who refused to show me his picture without me whipping out my webcam today. ^^ I hope you’re happy.. you’ve broken my cover as being a man on FFXI. :O

Edit: Did Prom-Mea today. Won beautifully. :3 I love you guys that I went with. Shout outs to the wonderful Elenuial, Fentre, Dxero (weirdo), Filito, and Marcatil for being the super sports they were to go through it today. Lufaise Meadows is extremely beautiful. I absolutely adore it. Not sure about my thoughts on Tavnazia yet though. I thought it was kinda ugly, yet I didn’t have time to really explore since I went off into an EXP PT a short time later. More exploration tomorrow.

For Elen & Marcatil: Unedited Prom-Dem video since they wanted to see it. Anyone else can also download it freely if you are interested. And god, I want to kill myself, Elen, but the Prom-Mea video did NOT record. I had a MSN window popup during the middle of the battle which stopped Fraps from recording. ; ; { Please forgive me. } Shame I didn’t record Holla.


Updated my ffxi gallery with Tavnazia screenshots and such. Also, Gaikyuu, if you read this, I added a screenshot of Fuzy’s subligar since I knew you were interested. Hehe. I swear, Square is full of people with odd senses of humor.

Quote of the Day: “Since when do NPCs use voice chat, dumbass?” – Fentre to Dxero.

LOL I love you guys. :3

Promyvion Fun

Dec 13

Posted by arrode in Chains of Promathia | No Comments

Blah, managed to actually complete Promyvion-Holla last night after a first failed attempt, two hours of anima farming, and another try complete with people going afk to eat, take showers, and me pulling a 30 minute run to go find my contacts.

But yes, it is done. The so-called hardest of the first three Promyvions was honestly not that bad if you prepare.

Before that deal I helped Fentre, Filito, and Dxero get their ZM4 done in the Temple of Pie after being directionally challenged the first hour or so and fighting the wrong mobs to get the lanterns. I ended up making two runs to light the doorway with Filito since we thought it was going to take too much effort and time to get 4 lanterns. The fight itself was easy, of course. I think either Kabooki or Filito (one of our taru blms, I forget which) got owned by Flare since we were being careless (and half of us drunk <_<), but yeah, ZM4 done for them.

Afterward, Dxero, Fentre, and myself gathered a few others and attempted Prom-Holla with a two-party alliance. Got there fine, but got owned near the end, which was pretty sad since the mob had less than 1% HP left and he kept spamming the crap out of his absorbing spell and we were out of animas to mess him up. At the time, I think our group consisted of MNK/NIN, WAR/NIN, PLD/WAR, SMN/WHM, WHM/BLM, RNG/NIN.

So yeah, we were pretty pissed over that, but we decided to give it another go with new members 2 hours later. We each farmed about two animas each, which REALLY helped. Went in with the following:

WAR/NIN, WAR/NIN, WHM/BLM, BLM/WHM, MNK/NIN, RNG/NIN and owned. We also were pretty darn prepared with medicines and foods, and timed our anima usage in 30 second intervals which basically paralyzed the mob the ENTIRE fight.

Was great. :) Hopefully Prom-Mea and Dem tonight. *glee*

A bit on the poor side today though. Gotta do some serious farming since the last Promyvion totally raped me of money. /sad
