Maat Time!

It's been a while since i have updated my blog so i thought i would catch everyone up on what i have been up too. I logged out at lvl 69 and 12hrs later after sleep, college, and day dreaming i logged to back in to my character who was in the Caedarva Mire at lvl 70 and with an 8k buffer thanks to Tsunami. Now i have capped EXP and am prepping for the Maat fight for Rdm which supposedly the hardest of them all. =/

I also got my a pair of Mycophile Cuffs, which are good rare/ex hands for mage jobs, off of the forced pop NM fungar i soloed in Carpenters Landing because i was bored and wanted them for leveling Blm to 40 to sub with Rdm and to get my Elemental and Dark magic skill up in preparation for the fight against Maat.

Destined Fellow

I did the NPC quest in Upper Jueno the other day so now i have a wench to help me fight stuff if need be. I chose the name Beatrice with brown shoulder length hair not sure on what job i want her to take up. The 2 NM fights i had to do for the quest were really easy to defeat just basic tank and spank.

Tsunami, Bat, Darkmorr, and I figured we would go and try to get me a P-rope and then try to get one for Bats BLM. The BCNM(60) we had to do was a 3 member lvl 60 cap fight in Balga's Dias called Wild Wild Whiskers. Its a pretty simple fight, you get 15min to kill 1 Coeurl which doesn't do anything but spam Burst and Petrificative Breath so best setup is Nin, Whm, and 3rd member can be anyjob as long as they do decent damage to kill it within the 15min. We went 2/4 on for the P-rope so Bat and I both got what we were looking for. Thanks go out to Tsunami, Bat, and Darkmorr for the help.

Also i completed GK3 and GK4 which were very time consuming. GK3 i had a little bit of trouble only because the 3 Crests i needed to get from Davoi, Beadeaux, and Castle O were placed near lvl 70+ Mobs and NM's which were true sight or true sound. GK4 only involved allot of traveling from Nation to Nation and Mhaura. Having completed them though my level cap is now 70 and when i get that it means the last GK mission, MAAT FIGHT!

Certified Crab Spanker

Finally after 5 days of camping the NM Cargo Crab Colin in Korroloka tunnel off and on in between the EXP Party's and Besieged i finally got the stingy bastard to drop the sword. It didn't come easy though because i didn't have TH and after reading post on Allakhazam about a rumor that the sword wont drop unless he land an attack on you that has the additional effect of poison which in my head would make sense because the swords perk is that the additional effect of poison lands 50% for frequently then other additional effects. After going 0/9 on him from testing out different theory's and getting no results i started getting very pissed and actually started to try and bribe god...

On the 10Th claim i got after an Exp PT and was bored so figured why not since it was lightsday and Full moon which is rumored to effect rare item drop rates i asked Tsunami if he could get one of the leaders of his HNMLS who had a 75 THF with TH3, Lionessa. After many sexual innuendos about smacking my crab Lionessa finally agreed and worked her way down to Korroloka Tunnel in company with Tarusofa another Synergy member. So with me holding CCC at 5% with no weapon equipped and punching his hard shell for 0 damage Lionessa whipped out her daggers and went to town and in about 4sec the chat box went by and at the bottom of the list was my precious sword. So thanks go out to Lionessa and Tarusofa who took the time to help me smack my crab! TH3 FTW

Unemployment... *Scough*

So having reached 60 and not unlocking any of the advanced jobs which become unlockable at lvl 30 i took 1 day off to unlock all 18 jobs in the game. It was a very tediouse and tryfull task butsince i was 60 most everything was soloable, except for those 3 damn leeches in the Korroloka Tunnel for the Ninja job quest. Past experiences have taught me to not dick with them without a wayout or without backup. On my old character i did this quest on Samurai and asked a 75 SMN to help out, you would think ohh 75 SMN this will be cake because he can just do Astral Flow... nope negatory this guy was a dumb dumb. He did do Astral Flow but all 3 attempts ended up being out of range. So with a SMN without MP and me as a lvl 30 Samurai we died pretty quick. For this attempt though i got a DRG friend from my linkshell who was already in Bastok to give me a hand for a sec and we beat them in about 1min no problems. So having completed all the advanced job quests 18/18 all i can do is wait for SE to release more jobs which is supposedly going to happen in the next expansion pack this fall/winter.

Cloud 9

Today i just focused on getting caught up on my missions. As for ToaU I'm at a stopping point in mission 13 because i need to go out with a group and kill some monsters. CoP I'm still on mission 2-5 the mammet fight. ZM i haven't even begun yet do to most of the mission you need a group to do. I have been working allot on Bastok mission though. I finally got around to fighting the 2-3 dragon in Balga's Dias.


After the dragon fight i was sent to Delkfutts Tower to go and search for the Bastokian Ambassador who was all the way at the bottom of the tower, but to get there i had to get the key to the elevator which is at the very top and take that down. On the long run to the top there are allot of NM Gigas which drop allot of decent gear but i only saw Mimas who dropped nothing.


Having scaled Delkfutts Tower i was sent on a recon mission to recover pieces of the magicite from the 3 main Beastmen Strongholds (Beadeaux, Castle Oztroja, and Davoi) and bring it back to the Archduke back in Ru'lude Gardens for the reward of an Airship pass. After a few cut scenes it was proposed that the Beastmen are trying to resurrect Shadow Lord and start another Crystal War.

Having done all this I'm currently on Mission 5-1 for Bastok.
