Time for a BLOG update.
So im pretty well setteled into my new shell here on phoenix. Been doing everything they have to offer such as Dynamis, Limbus, Sky, SEA, and a few odds and end events that they do. Still trying to find an Einharjer LS. I've asked around and talked to a few people but no good leads yet. Most shells are either Full or the ones that aren't seem very disorganized or go at bad days/times for me.
Nothing new as far as gear goes to report. Been trying to do Nyzul 80 runs with some poeple in the shell but they haven't been cosistant on setting up runs so I may break off from them and just go when I can to shout groups. My DRK really needs the askar body so I can fix my store TP build I need for my Perdu. It's annoying as hell having 99 TP instead of 100.
My DRK though is tareing it up in Merit party's. Most partys I cant keep hasso up cause I end up out pacing the other DD's too much and they aren't taking hate away from me often enough. Last Night though i had a great merit party with some Pimped out DD's and hate was more spread around allowing more Hasso useage and we clocked in a solid 21k per hour at MJSP south camp, not bad for that spot. Had BRD and COR so got some nice WS output with several above 1.4k and think I topped out at 1.55k. Got 7 merits banked right now that i need to spend.
Been trying to cap out my DRK job merits and i'll need in total 74 merit points to do that. I plan on having 5/5 Desperate Blows, 5/5 Diabolic Eye, 5/5 LR Effect, and 5/5 LR Recast. RIght now I am at 0/5, 2/5, 4/5, 1/5 respectively. However I still have those 7 merits to spend so that will change slightly today when I get on.
As far as other stuff. Gardening I had a crap harvest, ENM I haven't gotten a chance to do again but I should today. Had a few fail attempts at 80 Nyzul with pickups. So yea not really good news there. Oh well until next time.
Also i believe i am going to start posting the POL update notices and then make a first impression comment on those. Might be funny to see what actually happens as opposed to what players think will happen.

Life on Phoenix
Phoenix had been interesting to say the least. So I moved here to join up with an HNM shell. The shell was decent and had some nice people in it but there was also a protion of players whos morales were just too low for me. The Called for help on another LS's Kirin and then proceded to try and steal it. I left the shell imediately after this incident. Thats just not what i am about. Lasted 4 whole days before that and maneged to kill a few HNM's at least but still its not worth it if thats how they are going to act.
I proceded to be without a shell for about 4-5 days. It was very boring and relaxing at the same time. Did a lot of meriting on DRK and i know have 8 scythe merits, 3 Last resort Effect, and 1 diabolic eye. Also had a ton of IS so bought me a Perdu Scythe. Overall im pretty pleased with my drk. Looking to get an askar body, finish up merits, and upgrade some AF to +1 and i'll be done with it i think.
So after my 5 days with no shell i finally got into one called Armada. They do sky sea limbus dynamis all on a regular basis and seem to be pretty good at those events. They have a couple of outside Einharjer shells that im looking into as well and that should be a nice new event for me. Would love to get an Ebody from there one day.
The shell itself has some good players in it. They have an apoc DRK and just yesterday a PLD finished his Aegis. The thing that has been most intersting and surprising is how much they want me to come PLD to events. They seen my RDM and I got a lot of "Holy SHIT!!" comments but they have a ton of RDM's in shell and while I may be better, they apparently have a stronger need in most events for a good tank.
This has been pretty fun for me as I came from shells on Leviathan that had really strong tanks and I never got to use mine much. So already they have me main/co-tanking Jailors, Dynamis NM's, Ying/Yang, and possibly I might have to on an AV attempt we got comming up today. I havent told them how little experience I actually have tanking but I must be doing a good job as I seem to be like #3/4 on the depth chart with the shell boasting several 75 PLD's. I Need to really work on PLD gear though as it could use help in certain areas. First and foremost though I need a HP UP/DOWN set to use for cure hate.
As far as things I got planed they go something like this. Golliard Body, Askar Body, ENM, more Gardening, and finish meriting DRK. Need to really start building my gil back up as I have been lazy and gotten down to like 300k. Bleh.

Time for a change
Had to make a very hard to decision a few days ago. I been really itching to get into some serious HNM. I been holding out waiting for a spot to open in a prominent LS on leviathan. Talked to the members and the LS leader and they are all fine with me joining up eventually, just they have to many people in the shell right now. I can understand that. No need to clog up waiting lines and its not like they need more people anyways. So I had been just biding my time and waiting.
Things change though and after a lot of thought I have decided to join a HNMls on Phoenix. This by no means was an easy thing for me to decided to do. But at this point in both game and real life the time was right. So starting today I'll be on a new server with all new people, linkshell, and events.
Wow. Saying good bye to people was far more emotional than I would have thought. I mean its just a game right? Well, after spending so many years and experiencing so many good times with my in game friends letting go was truly hard. I started letting my old spirit link LS know about the move on Tuesday and it was a rough day for me. Wednesday I posted in my current LS forums and informed them all of the move. They wished me well and understood the decision and after the initial emotions on Tuesday, yesterday I was just more resigned to the decision and wanted to enjoy my last day.
What an eventful last day it turned out to be! First I log in and go out to VOS to help bong and the ls camp turtle for BB items. It was eventually forced pop and even though the big lses turned out in full force we got the claim. Killed it, after getting some horrendous adds at the start, and had fun being out there with the guys.
Next my Nyzul shell wanted to do one last run since we had made it to floor 95 on Tuesday to push for 100 since this was my last day and end the static on a good note. Luck was with us and we got some easy floors and had 10 minutes to deal with Hydra on the final floor. Took it down and wouldn't you know it we get an Askar Helm to drop. We all lotted and in what must be a fluke I lotted a 943 to win. Turns out this last run would give me my one and only gear piece from all those runs.
After that ended I rushed off to help Janaka do the UO BCNM. Was really glad Janaka had logged in as he is probably my oldest acquaintance in game. I can remember meeting him for the first time back when I had just gotten to Khazam and my RDM was a wee little level 20ish noob. We did a lot over the years and while our play times haven't been aligned that well for the last while I still consider him a great friend. Anyways, on to the bcnm with him and Kuldin and we do 3 runs. Wouldn't you know it, a PCC drops! Now I could have just split this with them and gone on my merry way but this was Janaka after all and so I told them they could just have it and wished them well. Was just happy to be able to help them.
I ended it all with one last run of salvage. Nothing amazing here happened. We did 2 NM's which didn't drop for us and killed the mega which dropped stuff we didn't need. Still though it was my last event and got to spend time with Keeva and all the LS guys I been hanging with for the last year. All in all it was a good day.
I regret not getting to do one last limbus run with my limbus shell but nothing I could do about it. Limbus was and always has been one of my favorite things in game and I had a really great group of people I ran with. I'll miss all my friends on leviathan, it was great playing with you.
Now though I'm excited to enter this new phase of the game. The sadness of the last few days has turned into anticipation and I look forward to just diving head first into the HNMls. It may be the end of an era, but Malaketh lives on.

Job #3 at 75
So I hit 75 DRK last week (Thursday 2/5/2009) and man what a differance a level made for me. I went from gimp to a pretty nice well geared DD in an instant. I had been holding off on buying anything from 72-75 since I had all my Homam gear ready to use so I was shockingly bad in my opinion as a level 74 drk in my party I got. Soon as i dinged tho I went to pretty much competing for Top DD with another DRK in the party. My gear was slightly better but he had a lot more merits so i felt good about how I was doing.
Now I need to get to work on my ws set and then eventually a zerg setup. That will take a while but i'm in no rush since i'm still going to be RDM 90% of the time. The plan right now is to get AF+1 hands, head, and feet. Get an askar body, homam feet, and askar head and that should do it as far as I am concerned. I may upgrade some ares pieces as they go free lot and after my morrigans is all done but that stuff will just come way down the road.
It sure is nice though to change things up with DD and it is far more relaxing to play. Many mages say playing a DD job is easy and I know DD mains get kind of upset at this. I think it would be more accurate to say DD just has almost no stress involved unlike playing a mage/support job does. The reason for this I beleive is that DD jobs are played more proactive than reactive like a healer job is.
Events wise everything been going about the same. We are on floor 80 of nyzul and I believe tonight we are going to push to 90. Salvage has been going smooth and we are starting to do split runs on Wednesdays now. Been going pretty hard after my morrigans slops but the 35 NM is just being a real pain with the drop. Limbus we did another Ultima but I passed on drops wanting to stay in line for my last Homam piece. We have another Omega comming next week I think. Sky/Sea/ZNM been doing a lot of trigger farming so nothing much to report there.

Still around
Yea so its been several weeks since my last post. Just haven't felt like typing anything up really. Been a lot harder to find time as well as works has had a lot of stuff going on so my time has been limited. Anyways on to the post.
Its been so long I forget what I haven't posted about so I guess I'll just try and touch on anything major in the last few month's. First off in salvage I got all the drops for my cuffs and now have some nice Morrigans hands to go along with the body I had. I really like this piece with the MAB and of course the MACC on it as well. It eliminates a few hand gears I had and no real need I think to want to grab the Master caster bracelets, especially since I been this long without them already. I got 19 total MAB in gear right now, not that great but I can grab an ugly pendant and boost that up sometime down the line.
In limbus I'm sitting at 4/5 homam now lacking only the feet. This combined with my other gear gives me 15% haste equip on my PLD. In addition I picked up leveling DRK again and will be taking it to 75 as soon as possible. Can't wait to try out all the haste stuff on a big DD job. DRK is up to 70 now and rising as I try to get xp anyway I can on it at least a little every day.
My Nyzul group is cleared up to floor 55 now. Not bad, but I still have no luck getting any gear from here. I'm the only one without a single piece despite several attempts on boss floors just for me only to get other stuff and not Goliard. I don't care that much as I don't find the gear to be all that great compared to what I already have. Floor 54 brings the WS points I need to unlock the WS down to 2400. I got 1700ish on the pld sword and am just going to stop and let it unlock with a floor 60 clear. I'll work on RDM and DRK weapon after my DRK hits 75.
Lastly I joined up with a SKY/SEA/ZNM/KSNM LS run by the same people I do limbus with. Its a very good group and I have been getting a lot done. This puts me back on the map for getting some much needed and overdue gear. wlegs, justice sword, some zenith stuff, heca stuff for pld and drk, the list goes on of stuff I need. Nice to finally have a LS to do that with on a consistent basis. So far I got a genbu's shield (lol can't believe I never had one of these yet) and some heca feet. Many people in the ls have been in it a long time and have a lot of the gear already so the waiting list on things isn't too bad.
I think i'm beginning to burn out a bit on RDM. Well not so much RDM burn out just with the repetitive stuff I do. Like salvage as RDM several times a week is getting old. I think going as another job a few times to get a different experience would be nice. And of course I've sworn off Merit parties on RDM. Just can't handle the boredom. Refresh and haste bot is all the job seems to be anymore and that's just not fun. Let me do more things like I do in limbus and BCNM/KSNM and I'm all for jumping on my RDM and showing what I can do. For the most part though the job has grown stale and needs a change.
On the reverse side of things I am absolutely loving my DRK. Its like playing a whole new game really being a DD doing WS's and using various other skills in battle applications. I always wanted to level a DD for versatility and I am very happy I finally did. Hoping to hit 75 in the next few weeks bumming some merit parties form LS friends. I'll never be as pimp on DRK as I am on RDM from a gear standpoint since I have so much for RDM and many things for DRK are either down right expensive (KC) or very rare and need a HNM shell for (adaberk). However, I sure am having a lot more fun on it. Maybe when SE finally makes some changes to RDM I'll be able to dive into the job with renewed fervor, until then i'm going to be DRK and leveling other jobs to fill the void.

New WS quests
So the biggest news I can think of since my last update is that new Weapon skills were released in the last version update. These range from the not so good to the really amazing. The 2 that I am most concerned with of course is the RDM ws Death Blossom, and the PLD ws Atonement.
Death blossom is said by many to be one of the better looking ones. Gee that’s nice… too bad the damage from it still seems to be greatly lacking. It has some nice skill chaining properties being able to open and close many types of chains and the after effect has some limited uses as well. But I was looking for a better damage option with swords to help out the pathetic selection RDM has native access to. Savage blade as the best ws you can have is laughable. And death blossom performs with nearly the same amount of damage even though it gives an extra hit. It’s hurt by its low ftp mod and therefore just doesn’t do it for me. If dual wielding, dagger main hand to evisceration is still the better way to go.
Atonement however is amazing for what you would use it for. It does a flat 750 damage once you have hate to a certain level. That makes it the best option for fights that last over a minute. It’s also a magic damage ws and therefore has 100% accuracy to it. That’s very hard to beat. Now if in a merit party or any situation were fast killing is involved vorpal blade will outperform it simply because there is not enough time to establish adequate hate.
Now the downside, at least for me, to getting these ws is the points it cost to unlock them. Total points are based on what floor your own nyzul disk is cleared through. IF you got 100 floor great, just 250 to do. But if like me and you’re on zero then it takes roughly 14,000 points to unlock it. And that’s per ws. Bleh. I am trying to do climbs though but the last 2 runs have been canceled so I am still stuck at zero. Hopefully we get this on track soon. Oh and I don’t have the RDM sword yet anyways but do have the PLD one. Just using the sword at random events and in parties has got me up to about 500 points but that’s just a drop in the bucket and it took me over 2 weeks to do that. So put this down as a long term goal for now.
Limbus has seen a drop in attendance from some members again so we been farming chips and trying to rebuild the ranks. We have I believe 3 ultima pop sets and 2 omega sets ready to go. We recruited 3 new people this past week so hopefully we will knock out another boss this coming Thursday. If we do, it will probably be ultima. Now the ultima gear is ok and I can find a few uses for some of it, I just don’t want to give up my spot in line for homam drops. So that being said, I hope others in front of me do want it so it moves me up the list more on homam.
Also, I hate to say this but I am getting the itch again for dynamis. I mainly want to just beat the cop zones so I can say I’ve done them all as well as maybe get some gear for my up comming BLM. One day I do plan on leveling BLU as well and the recently released relic for that seems to be pretty good. Although, more morrigin gear may make that not as desired for me

August Update
Past time for another update. Can’t believe its been a whole month since I got the Joyeuse.
So I’ve fallen into a bit of a routine lately. I got so many events scheduled now its hard not to. Monday is Limbus and Einharjer (however the hell you spell it). Tuesday is Salvage and then when its over I try to get down and Help out PNB with sea/sky or whatever they got planed. Wednesday is salvage again and soon to be Nyzul. Thursday is more limbus and late night Sky. Friday is salvage and then a late ENM. So yea that’s a pretty full schedule.
With what little free time I have, I spend it mostly farming some (still paying off my ingot loan) and then doing a bit of campaign. There is another updated schedule early in september (if I had to guess id say it will happen on the 8th) and I am hopefull they introduce the last piece of the Iron ram set, the body, that I can pick up. However, I had used up most my points so I need to build them back up hence doing more Campaign again. Back up to 40k AN and I’m figuring going to need about 75k to at most 100k for the body piece.
The other thing I been doing is finally leveling up my nin subjob. That’s right I been 75 RDM for well over 3 years and my nin still not 37. I know its very useful at times but those timea are far fewer than most RDM use it for. Its really only beneficial if you are soloing a very hard hitting mob, a mob you don’t want to give tp, and in some but not all melee situations. Far to many rdm slap on /nin when it really has no merit for the situation and you would be better served going something else like /war for damage or /blu for high defense and making shadows unneeded in the first place.
I do however really need the sub for my PLD. A lot of tanking nowadays at the endgame level is done with /nin and having a lot of haste gear. I never had much haste gear so it made this style of tanking something I couldn’t do. I mean I could by some dusk stuff for haste but you really need a swift belt and some homam to make it happen. Well now that I have some of that stuff its become a real possibility for me. Got the swift belt a while back, rebought the dusk gloves, had the wal-mart turbin, and then last Monday I got the homam pants. In total I have 15% haste in gear so now its time to focus on the /nin tanking setup meaning I actually need to level nin up. Got it to 35 now so one more xp party and its done. Just need to get the NI scroll and I am all set. Going to need to BCNM it though since most my gil still going to ingot payback.
Not much else going on other than I got another 35 drop from salvage. It’s the hands making my debate over what I really wanted to upgrade next a null point. Hands are very good and I was leaning that way so it all turned out well. We went after the Boss that drops the 25 and managed to kill it. It was our first time fighting it and was not the cleanest of fights but we did manage to pull through. Didn’t drop the hands but it got some other needed 25’s for the LS. So grats to them.
