Some Goodies for the LS!
The weekend was not super exciting, but we managed to get a few neat-o drops for the LS!
Saturday:
It was time for Sea again and even though there weren't too many items farmed up since our last event, we had plenty of triggers to work through. We started out inside and got Jailer of Faith (no torque), Ix'Aern - DRK (Deeded), and Jailer of Temperance (3rd Torque). It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it took us a bit to pop Temperance, sigh.
Afterwards, we went outside to do 3x Prudence and for some reason the depop method didn't work on the 2nd & 3rd ones, so they were a bit messier than necessary, but we killed them and headed to Love.
Love was a pain and somehow the pets overwhelmed our BLMs and caused us to basically have to repeatedly sac it while we recovered. It was a really sad display. :/ Many thanks to Detanita for the sackage. Anyway, Love then went down very fast and smooth and we got our 2nd Novio and 3rd Novia! As with our first Novio, no one currently has enough points to bid for it, so I'll hang on to it until someone builds up enough to get it.
Sunday:
I don't rage about the game all that much, but I was ticked after Einherjar. We decided to start out with a W2 since a win would have gotten 4-5 people Odin access so we wouldn't need to worry about them later. All started out well with single black bats. After those went down, we had Worms and the Flan boss. Now normally, when we have worms, we pull the boss and kill it then go after the worms one by one.
Well, unbeknownst to me, the Flan wouldn't be pulled. >.> I aggroed him and he started casting as I ran off... then he kept using draw-in and it took a couple minutes before people finally realized we'd have to sleep the worms and kill the boss where he stood. The boss died and we started working on worms, but not without heavy casualties and we finally timed out on the last worm. UGH! I wasn't happy, but oh well... I guess we learned something new or something. D:
Afterwards, Dynamis-Xarcabard was finally available so we got to do that for the first time in 2 months. Initially we had planned on trying DL again, but I was swayed against it since some of our multihit DRKs were questionable and people still wanted quite a bit of AF2 from there... even though we probably could have beaten DL anyway!
However, we were rewarded well ... 11 AF2 drops including 2 BLM and 2 THF which had the longest lines of the night, so that was pretty nice. BLM is now our most abundant Xarcbard AF2 with 12 total drops, that's really awesome! :D We now have 6 TH4 Thieves in the LS which is pretty much owner.
So after the day didn't start out well, I ended up being happy since we tore Xarcabard a new one and got a bunch of worthy AF2 in the process!
Vedder Stuff:
On a personal note, I didn't have a chance to do much this weekend. I did grab a Cuchulain's Mantle off the auction house finally after deliberating endlessly about getting one:
It cost me 3.2mil, but they are now already selling for 4mil each so I feel good about my purchase. It really is a luxury item, but at the same time it's the best backpiece available for any job that cannot cap accuracy (mainly 1-hand weapon users). With the recent changes SE made to Campaign XP on fortifications, it's possible the Op that these drop from won't be available anymore... or at least until they change something. So this should continue to increase in price ... I could end up treating it like an investment and selling it one day, who knows? Maybe I'll need gil for a Salvage body upgrade.
Besides that purchase, I decided it was time to get moving on my RNG AF2 since it will ding 52 this week and I hadn't even started it. Got the weapon and the Beret before I got tired and went to bed. Next up is the Hands and the coffers. Should be relatively easy since I can farm up keys on THF and pop coffers for quests as THF main.
Oh, and no Mog Satchel yet ... I hate the world! My mail is either slow or they lost it and I'm gonna have to put in some effort to try and track it down, sigh.
Quotation of the Day: "Welcome to the club :D" - Myself to Patriclous after Dynamis congratulating him on his new Assassin's Armlets!
