I Blame my computer, but we all know I'm just lazy.

Here's another smelly update for you!

Like the title says, my computer has been playing games with me this week, being slow and gheyish, when it really wasn't it's fault. I realised I didnt have anti spyware installed on my laptop so I downloaded adaware and ran a scan.

176 unidentified objects! No wonder the poor thing has been struggling.

/delete
/joy

Now that things are working properly again I thought I'd do a catch up.

I fought Ouyru! And we won! 1/1!
Urora and Lambit from my dynamis shell asked me to tag along as blm (which was fine with me as I needed this too)

Behold! Teh Great Wyverns!

Below is a shot of us in action (yes that's me actually doing something, as opposed to standing around looking bored in my screenshots). We did the sleep nuke strategy, we had:

Lambit : PLD

Urora: RDM
Alshandra: BLM

Rengin: BLM

Cesarl: DRK

and Sekkhmet as BLU

I think. It was a little while ago.

We got Lambit to take hate, and Cesarl was the mistmelter (you know, that thing you throw at the dragon to make it sit down?). Us BLM's did simultaneous Freeze and then Urora slept it after the mistmelt brough it back to the ground. We did this maybe 3-4 times and Ouryu gives up after about 30% HP left so we won! whee.

Another fun thing we did was doing Carbuncle's Mitts runs. I took Tyger and Sonnia one night to do theirs, and the next night I took Rikoro, Kaske, Crinan and Divinefury to get theirs. On both runs Sonnia and Kaske didnt have the pop item so we had to go hunting for it. Death ensues. The first run was ok, it wasnt up so we did Tyger's fight and got his mitts then by the time we went back it was up so we went back to do Sonnia's fight and got her mitts too. The next night Kaske's was up, but Crinan and I found it while they were back near the entrance so we had to sacrifice ourselves to get the pop item for him. Tonberry's dont like us very much. I died, so he pulled all the tonberry's down the corridor so I could RR and grab the item -- which i did! But then there was a final tonberry in the room with the Ugaleppih offering so I died after I got it. But I got it!! We home pointed and came back and everything went smoothly from there on.

Group photo!

Damn you Riko! Standing the wrong way! He thinks hes a rebel :3

Another thing we did was ZM5 Headstone Pilgramage! Heres a pic of us doing the first fire one in Ifrit's Cauldron. I managed to get myself stuck on the wrong side of the fire spout, but it was ok, Tyger had ice clusters :3

And this is me zoom zooming past the Ash dragon. I sort of wanted to fight it, but we were focussing on the mission at hand!

This is at the Sanctuary of Zitah, fighting the Doomed Pilgrim - another one of me standing around looking bored. (just so happens the only time I have time to take pictures is when I dont have anything to do. Let's face it, I'm just not that good a photographer - see Faulsey's blog!)

I think that overall, Aussie, Faulsey, Ataka needed all of the headstones while Tyger just needed the fire one. Fun times!

The Team! (minus Crinan who was still on his way to camp. And yes, I got my screenies mixed up I think)

This is me falling asleep on the last headstone we did, it was early in the morning by that point. I would have just left my char here and gone to bed but there are bats that aggro people sitting down.

On a completely unrelated note, I was lvling THF in the dooms the other day with Crinan's SMN and Beanrod's WHM. Nevertheless, Galka's can be squishy too, especially after Benediction :\

We trio'd Aquarius! WHM RDM MNK Go go hundredfists! We were on our way to do windurst mission 9-1 farming the Goobue hummus and doing the cutscene (lets not talk about how i forgot I had the item in my Storage and was dismayed when it dropped when i lotted it) I had to go back to do that myself later.

Now I have a shiny new axe that I will probably never use. Ranged Attack? What is this concept?

Hmm that's it for now, I have another new post about Salvage to make in a bit, but I'll do that one seperate.

thanks for reading have fun my kittens xx

Alsha's Adventures in Uleguerand Range :\

So, I decided I wanted to go nuke things on my Black Mage before Dynamis.

I'm currently LV66 BLM @6k tnl.

Remember this detail.

I went to my usual Aydeewa Subteranne camp to go nuke Qiqirn Enterprisers (RNG) but there was a 65BLM there already. Now, I hate camping on top of people and there isnt really room for 2 in there, as we would have to wait for repops. So I bowed and warped back to Aht Urghan.

/think

Where to go, where to go.

The BLM Solo guide talked briefly about a camp spot in Uleguerand Range. So I thought, I have an hour til dynamis, I may as well check it out.

So I trek up there, with Angelise kindly giving me a teleport to Vahzl. I dont have a map, so I found one online and then snuck up, reraised and invisibled myself for the walk. The first part wasnt so bad, managed to avoid aggro'ing the snow bombs when I had to recast, and got through the first tunnel without a problem.

I kept on trudging north through the snow and came across this Brontosaur. I've never seen these before and took a quick picture.

I thought hey I might not be up here for a while, lets get closer for another picture.

Suffice to say, I did not end up with a Screenshot, due to my panicked attempts to run away after discovering its a true sight mob.

{Run away!} {Run away!} {Run away!} {Run away!} {Run away!}

I ran to the side of the cliff face and died with dignity, waited for it to walk away, then reraised to continue my journey.

I'm amazed at how much scary stuff is up here! I finally found one of the mobs that I intended to target for my BLM Solo'ing extravaganza, but there was only one that I could see, so thinking that maybe the actual camp was a bit further up, i continued on.

It would seem that I travelled a bit too far north, in the excitement of my adventure. I somehow managed to aggro another Brontosaur, so ran toward some pillars devoid of mobs to die in the snow. Once the taurus moved on, I reraised only to find out, in my dismay, that there was an Ice Elemental hiding around the corner.

{Incredibly tough} {No thanks.}

So... I died again, just after I put reraise back up. No drama! I have reraise!

So I reraised, and....

/em is defeated by the Evil Eye.

What a joke.

So I realised I had gone too far north anyway, so I home pointed and grabbed a teleport to try again.

This time I stopped where I found the first Giant Buffalo and wandered around the area to find three more.

I was finally at the camp! Now to kirr things!


Here is a pic of me and one of the buffalos.

Yes, that's me, weakened again.

They are difficult.

Difficult to pull as there are a lot of true sight mobs, and also the Raptors aggro to sound.

I tried one and died because I had a macro wardrobe malfunction and my Sleep II was resisted due to not having my dark gear set on.

One more try, and my Flood did 1056 points of damage, which was under 25% of the mobs HP.

I tried to warp out but I got raped face down in the snow and had to HP again.

Now I'm @17k tnl.

Moral of this story?

Stay at home, where it's warm, dry and safe.

There are also cookies at home.

Sky falling madness

That's right.

Another update!

What is the world coming to?

A couple more pics I was unlazy enough to upload for your decadent viewing pleasure.

We were waiting for the Dynamis leader to arrive and TRS had a group hug:

That's Shaunmc, Aussie, Crinan and also myself, in there somewhere lol. We love you Aussie^^

We ritualistically wipe at the end of each run. I'm not sure why, but it may be that when we run out of time, the puller thinks that its wise to pull the whole zone on the off chance that we manage to kill any of them before the time is up.

Every single person wiped, even me. I was the first to reraise and I couldnt get the picture off in time before a few others did, it would have been a nice shot if i had taken it when i was the only one standing :3

My beautiful new pants!! *see below post also*

Sooo nice... I just sold my Blessed Trousers as these are waaay better.

120k {Thank you.} Ka-ching! $.$

Awe group photo of Buvian, Everie, myself and Crinan after Dynamis Jeuno.

I fell asleep here and woke up all alone :3

/cry

It's ok, I have my pillow, it still loves me.

Love you all

Zomg! The sky is falling!

New Update~

Ta da! *bow's with a flourish*

So hm.. New thing!

Cleric's Pantaloons!

I've finally completed my full white mage artifact gear!

Take that shadow lord! (that's right, I've demoted him to lower case, he's {Too weak} to be allowed to have capital letters)

Such a nice feeling to have completed my AF2, not so nice feeling when my fellow white mage and friend Aussie was a bit sad because I outlotted him. (I have been with the shell since day one, so it's not like I was a newbie out lotting him, but I still felt awful)

But!!!

IT DROPPED AGAIN!!!

After waiting a whole year to get mine (it dropped once only, when I was working one day) we miraculously get two within 15min of eachother.

Go Aussie!

Hmmmm...
