So I haven’t posted in ages huh? Yea not really had much of a chance to write up things at work lately so the BLOG has been left idle and not updated. However, this doesn’t mean I haven’t been logging into the game to get stuff done. Nope, I’m just as active as ever. Still doing Limbus with the same group of guys but most of the other events I do have changed up a bit.

Dynamis. Well you know from my last post that I was really struggling to find a decent dynamis shell that ran on times I could go. I left that shell as they just had to many flaws with strategy and leadership. I had considered applying to Moirai for a while since I knew they did 2 weekly runs (and not on the weekend). This is strangely enough the old Dyna shell that Zeit and Pus had left to join up with me in alttab a long time ago. So it felt odd applying to them but I really had no reason not to like them and they ran at good times for me. So I applied and joined up. Been going with them for a few month’s now and am pretty pleased with my decision to join up. They can win all the basic zones easy enough and have a much stronger core group of players than the last few shells I tried out. So I’m collecting points and waiting to lot my relic armor trying to get my last piece of RDM relic (body) and then lotting PLD stuff as its available. So far I have got 2 lot on PLD gloves and body but lost both... to the same person lol. At least for that stuff it doesn’t seem to be a long line as PLD drops a lot for these guys.

Limbus has been going very well. We have killed both Omega and Ultima a few times now and have very little problem in doing so. We have had 3 mages already get the Nashira legs myself being the most recent. This is one of those pieces every RDM wants and pushes my Enfeebling skill up to 334. Now I’m going to focus on the omega drops for my pld and the pieces are so good I have decided to go ahead and level up my DRK to use them with as well (level 42 at present) I got the body so far and pretty much every piece but the head is amazing so all in all Limbus is looking great.

One semi sad thing is my sea LS broke. I was somewhat frustrated with them since we seemed to really drag our feet on getting things done but we did get in some good fights and had killed some tier II. It would have been nice to get my cape and a justice sword but lack of participation finally done us in. I would like to find a new sea LS but this is proving rather difficult.

As for a new activity I am now doing Salvage 2 times a week. I run once with my limbus shell and once with spirit link. The drop rates here are horrendous but the armor is flat out the best in game. I am going for morrigans robe for my RDM and BLM (more on that later) and then after that whatever I may get. Will probably take a year or more for the Robe but it will more or less complete any gear I could want for RDM (not buyable anyways) and is an incredible asset to BLM as well.


I finally completed the ToAU missions. These were all relatively easy until the last one. Alexander was just being a pain for the random groups I kept going with. Mostly it was all timing out due to not enough damage. Not sure why the melee were having such problems but it was consistant and happened with all the different pick up shouts I joined. When I finally did get the win we had a ton of time left over and the Melee where dealing much faster and consistent damage. Got the magic accuracy ring that gives refresh in salvage and assulats. Its nice as a all purpose ring if I’m being lazy since the MACC is universally useful for a lot of spells and in salvage it’s incredible and makes assaults LOL worthy for RDM mp.

Other than that I had been leveling BLM up since I have so much mage gear already and its time I got more jobs to 75. Got blm to 58 but have put it on hold while trying to level up DRK. DRK has been somewhat hard to get parties with though so I may go back to BLM again and solo some more levels. Either way I guess you could consider both those jobs as my current projects in game.

I’ve still taken lots of pics in game so I’ll probably post a bunch in the near future.
