Got the drop
Since my previous post, I've decided that I'm going to spend my time back in Vana'diel doing all the things I never finished, like unlock some jobs, fight Maat, and kill NM's. Well, I killed an NM tonight that I camped for months back when I was playing.
I was going through my inventory when I noticed I had Cassandra's Earring, but never got the match for the set; Hellenus's Earring. If you don't know, When you have the both of them equiped, you get a Mag. Accuracy +5 and Mag. Attack Bonus +5. For months, I used to camp the NM's for this trying to get them both, when eventually I got one of them, Cassandra's Earring. Then for months after that, I camped Eldrich Edge to get Hellenus's earring, but never got it.
Well tonight I had one hell of a crazy fight. My friend and I popped Eldrich and started the fight. Once he got to about 20% health, i died, which zoned me to Windurst (my homepoint). I quickly popped on my Nexus Cape, warped back to the fight, and started back. Well one he got to around 10% HP, i died again. My friend, playing as a BRD, couldn't finish the fight by himself, so he started to run toward Jeuno to zone him. Well, I used the Windurst > Whitegate > Jeuno warps, set my homepoint in lower jeuno and ran back out to Rolanberry Fields right when my friend was reaching the zone for Jeuno. Right at the zone, we started the fight back. I died again, but my homepoint was right there so I came right back into the fight. After a progression of dying about 3 more times, we finially finished the fight.
And still got the drop (somehow)
