What a week! :D ( No diffuse glow in these, either! >:O )
This week, Travis and I accomplished a lot both level-wise and quest/mission-wise! Sure we're a bit slower than your average gamer when it comes to leveling, but who cares? the reason why I say this is because we've leveled with a few so-called "veterans" who like, literally, RUB-IN their accomplishments and have this holier-than-though attitude(One of my BIGGEST pet peeves.) which we can do without. I don't let it bother me much, since all I have to do is come up with some sort of witty retort and they instantly shut up(in MOST cases, anyway.).
But, yeah, anyway, after all our hard work and effort:
(My BLM sub is still 20, LOLZ.)
And no sooner had we gotten our levels, we immediately went hunting for our cap items, which wasn't as bad when I did mine the first time forever and a half ago, since Travis' nephew (A 75 THF! :D) gave us a hand with the hardest item to get, which was the Papyrus. The Mold and Bomb coal were disgustingly easy, just the Papyrus was a being a bit stingy when it came to it dropping. Travis got his on the first kill, but mine took a FOREEEEVVVERRRR to drop!
About an hour into killing these Lich's:
See!? Good things come to those who wait(That's an underestatement. ;D)!
We're both pretty much all set levelcap-wise, but i'm missing erase, so i'll have to cough up the cash for that spell. >_<
After that, Mjkb talked about an NM that drops a really cool sword in this particular part of Eldieme. It just so happened the NM was up, so we tagged it and Mjkb soloed it with ease!
And as for the item it drops:
From the looks of it, it's a real nice BRD sword! So, since neither Travis or Mjkb wanted it, they ended up passing it to me, hooray! My level 9 BRD is going to love this shiny toy. :D
A little later into the week:
I was getting pretty sick of having to always tele around and then choco the main cities to get around, and I sure as hell wasn't gunna pay 500k for that airship pass, so with the help of a few of our ls mates, we did our rank 4 missions with not much of a real hassle, except for a little aggro here and there.
FINALLY got rank 5 and:
NO MORE CHOCO-ING TO THE MAIN CITIES, YAY! :D
Yes, it was quite a week, but I know we still have a lot ahead of us, but I think we'll be able to manage.
***Off-topic***
Okay, okay, so I must have at least called 4 different game stores and none of them had ANY copies of ToA in stock for the PC, WTF!? this upsets me very much, since I REALLY want to go exploring in the new zones with Travis and a few close friends of ours. Eh..maybe i'll try calling in a few days. ._.
