(no subject)
Hi.
First off, I want to preface by saying that a good friend of mine, Insoluble, quit the game back in September. When he quit, he left me with quite a bit of his gear. Some of which I could have bought but never did because I'm cheap (Sorcerer's Ring) and some of which I would probably never get on my own means due to being extremely expensive (Dusk Gloves +1). I just wanted to say to Insol that it's been fun, and I hope you have the best of luck wherever you may go. And also thanks for hooking me up.
So I haven't really been posting that much due to not really having much to say. The Salvage group had been plugging along pretty well, but we had our setbacks of people quitting and having to replace them. No drops etc. We made quite a bit of gil selling off pieces that we didn't need, but we weren't getting the pieces that we actually wanted. Then Jiyo quit the game and Blackhatchy moved and was no longer able to log on. I also moved in October and found myself on the verge of quitting myself. I needed something to rekindle my interest in the game, so I did something that I've been toying with for several months: I worldshifted.
Equilibrium Linkshell on Seraph. Now I had actually wanted to worldshift a long time ago, but I never did out of respect to Aeterna, who gave me Wubby to begin with. Unlike some people who he also gave an account to, I respected his wishes. But, when Aeterna himself started coming to me with some of the similar feelings I was having towards Karasu and Titan and worldshifted to Hades to join Excellence. At that point, I had the green light and took the plunge myself.
Anyways, for several weeks I had been browsing various linkshell websites via BG seeing what they had to offer. I was pretty set in what I wanted. The events couldn't go that late since I have to wake up early for work. They had to do a Salvage and it had to be something that was incorporated into the linkshell, not something that started at like midnight after all other events. Camping HNMs was something that I wouldn't mind doing, but didn't want it to be a focus of the linkshell. Ultimately, I settled on Equilibrium since their goals met my own rather well, and I have to say that I've been really happy with the decision. They're a bunch of great people and I'm enjoying the more laid back atmosphere. There was definitely a transition period since obviously it's a different environment and a different group of people, but they also approach certain situations differently than what I'm used to, but I'm getting into the swing of things well, I think.
Anyways, enough with the words. What LJ post of mine wouldn't be complete without some lootwhoring?
First things first, ever since that debacle with the Macha's Feet, I decided that I needed to have more inventory space.
I haven't had any problems with losing Salvage 35s since..
Several months ago, I decided to drop my suppanomimi and replace it with bushinomimi when I saw that Karasu was going to redo the Divine Might fight. Well, stupid me didn't realize you needed to get some key item using a light ore during full moon, so I was unable to get a new earring. I got the key item a while back and as luck would have it, I saw someone shouting for Divine Might in whitegate so I figured what the hell. I was kind of surprised that they were using a standard setup alliance and not the much easier manaburn method. Plus, I gathered that quite a few of the people present were doing the fight for the first time! It was kind of fun doing it this way since I haven't done so in many years, and of course we had to employ a death + reraise, but the fight itself was pretty easy since it was implemented into the game before merit points and a lot of gear that is now considered the standard. It made me a bit nostalgic.
I figured I had to get back into the swing of things with campaign since I want that magic acc ammo, so I set myself to getting some campaign gear.
Leet RDM soro.
MND gear etc.
3/3 on Black Belt. This would have been an accomplishment like 3 years ago.
So, I've had the 35 Morrigan Cuffs since March. It's mentioned in an earlier entry. I've had horrible horrible luck with LAC since then. I finally saw the 25s drop just last week on a full SSR NMs + Boss run with less than a minute left to go. Huge thanks to the salvage group for getting the hands sorted in time.
Until the next time I have more interesting stuff to say.
