Finally, some things to get happy about
The last couple weeks have had their high points, but also had some pretty aggravating disappointments. Since my last update, there's been quite a few good things to report, so here we go!
Sea NMs:
I'll start right out with the best news from the event, our first full drop JoL!
It was our 9th Jailer of Love overall and the first one that dropped all the drops. Rejoicing was heard as Evangel got Love Torque, Detanita got Novio, and I snagged Novia. I figure I'll use it for an Evasion build and because unlike some people I actually think points are there to be spent.
Earlier in the night, we got 3 more Torques as well... Temperance, Fortitude, and Hope. So out of the 6 Jailers we killed Thursday, we were rewarded with 4 Torques in total which is awesome.
Here's the latest overall Torque/Earring count:
Temperance - 4
Fortitude - 2
Faith - 1
Justice - 3
Hope - 3
Prudence - 0
Love - 3
Novio - 4
Novia - 6
Limbus:
It was time for another Ultima set as we've been saving up our popsets for awhile now. This one was much better than the one on Tuesday as I understand it, but again we were cursed with a Turban drop. Nevertheless Lynkyn lotted it and the other item was Gages which Wonton had been waiting for and used his point leader position to nab them.
Total Ultima Drop Summary (8):
Nashira Crackows - 3
Nashira Gages - 4
Nashira Manteel - 0
Nashira Seraweels - 3
Nashira Turban - 6
Sunday Events:
Finally a Sunday schedule worth talking about. We started it out with a very much needed Brunhilde's Chamber win to complete our Wing 3 requirements for the next Odin. It was a very pleasant draw of Marids followed by Wivres/Tauri and the Khimaira boss. Now we just need to backtrack and get a Wing 2 clear for our feather mule and most of the LS and we're ready for Odin. We already have 15 people with Odin access and a possible 36 more that can get access with a Wing 2 clear, so there's no way we're coming up short on Odin next time.
After that, Beseiged was going down, so everyone ran over there to snag a Revitalizer to refresh 2 hour abilities and we went to Dynamis-Qufim. It was one of our more smooth runs in that zone, but we didn't get any accessory drops at all which was really disappointing. We got 3 AF2-1 and 6 regular city AF2 so all in all it was ok, but we've gotten as many as 10 accessories in one run there before so to get zero was a bummer.
Since we've cut back on our sky schedule a bit, we're not getting Kirin popsets as fast as we used to but we had 3 built up and the plan was to use them all last night. We actually had 3 BRDs and 3 WHMs present so we wanted to TP burn one of them. Upon arriving at sky, HappyEnding was doing a Kirin traditional style so we waited on them. It turns out another LS, Eclipse, was up there waiting to do Kirin also but they were going to be kiting it as well so I asked if we could get in first and TP burn one since we needed to pop 3 in total. They said sure so we got prepared for the repop once the current Kirin hit the floor.
After reminding everyone what needed to be done and setting up the BRDs for songs we got ready and blew it up! I think it was about 60 seconds in total! No one parsed, I don't think, but Nariseth says he made a video so I'll be on the lookout for that. We didn't even have an ideal setup as we had no DRG for Angon and there was a RNG in the zerg alliance, but both me and Archaon were there with our M.Kris as DRK/DRG so I think that accounts for our sped up kill from the 94 second one we did the first time.
So now we waited for Eclipse to do theirs and what I thought might take an hour ended up taking 90 minutes and by the time they finally killed it, we were 15 minutes away from having 2 hours ready again, so we went ahead and TP burned another one. The results were the same, about a 60 second kill. Woot!
With one popset remaining, we waited on the repop and then killed the last one the traditional way. No issues of course and it was pretty smooth as well.
All told, we were rewarded with 3 Kirin's Poles (Aliiyah, Sanoskae, Bank), 2 Kirin's Osodes (Lynkyn, TBD), 2 D.Body Abjurations (Simpson, Darklunna), 1 W.Leg Abjuration (Sanoskae), 3 Shining Cloths and an O.Ingot. A pretty good haul and a relief to finally get more W.Legs since our last drops were 11 months ago.
Other Small Notes:
- After camping Wyvernpoacher on 2 separate occasions for about 6 hours total, he finally popped only to not drop the O.Bow I'm seeking. D:
- Salvage was a bust over the weekend as we targeted Zhayolm but got no ranged cells to drop and couldn't unlock a full 3 members to pop the 5F frog. Beyond that, bad luck along the way caused us to time out on the boss, which is one of the easiest there is. ARRRRrrggghhh.
Quotation of the Day: "lets not discusss "bad" cuz this ls tops it i think" - Okita/Pent, whom I was chatting with and is in Eclipse at the moment.
