I got myself a new job!
Monday, 4th February 2008
I started my wednesday morning in the Phomiuna Aqueducts, where I was hunting Taurus for the Fomor Codex pop item. I needed one, for this months Swift Belt event with the linkshell, and also because me and Daca have been talking together about trying to duo the Hume NM, Balor. We always like a good challenge and it will be fun to see if we can pull it off. Whichever happens first of the duo or the linkshell event however, we will just have to see.

After a couple of hours, the alarm on my planner went off, to remind me I had a job interview in a few hours time. Since I knew that it would take me at least an hour by bicycle (I love cycling) to get there, I decided that it was enough farming for now, and went back to the Tavnazian Safehold to log off. And soon thereafter, I found myself cycling down the mile long bicycle roads, on this epic quest I had accepted a few days ago - to seek out the interviewing Galk- uh, I mean..
I was on my way to the job interview o_-)/

I arrived at the lobby of the establishment I was applying for a job at, purposely 5 minutes early and ready for my interview. But.. I ended up having to wait another 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment, on the two team leaders that was supposed to meet me there in the lobby (I think they were eating lunch or something..). Eventually another person from the management decided to interview me at his office in their stead, since they took too long.

It ended up being a pretty relaxed interview, and I quickly felt that I had a good dialogue with the guy I was conversing with. So as I was leaving the office, I had a pretty good feeling, about my chances for a job offer from this place as well. When I finally got myself home, these feeling became an reality, as I got a phone call offering me a job, starting in february. Hurray!

In the evening, we did Nyzul Isle Assault with the static, and we even managed to grab with us two drops this time. We started with floor 80, wich dropped us a long sought after Askar Korazin, but to my disappointment I managed to only lot 45 on it, while Vyvyan lotted some 900+ and won. Congratulations to Vyvyan on this awesome body piece though!


We followed up with floor 60, but got no drops (as usual).. then on to floor 40, where the Denali Kecks appeared in the loot pool. Since nobody was signed up for them, they were freelot and I managed to win these at least (with most people passing them). It was a little comforting, after having lost on the body armor I have wanted for a very long time, and even want more than an Armada Hauberk. I hope some near future floor 80 runs will drop another one. The Denali pants will be used on Ranger and Dancer for the curious.



The next day, we started to camp Fafnir again. And with every other linkshell gathered up in the Behemoth's Dominion, we got a totally uncontested Fafnir pop. This was also Chroma's fastest Fafnir kill to date, clocking in at just over 8 minutes with a measly 7 seconds past. As I was in the add party with Sizah, I have no imagery of the loot pool, but we got an Aquarian Abjuration: Hands, wich Linkx got and soon thereafter uncursed into a pair of Zenith Mitts +1! Congratulations on a fully decked Black Mage, Linkx!

Since there were still some time left of this evening, we did Einherjar and managed to kill the boss with about 3 seconds to spare.. but that just resulted in us getting ported out, since the chest didn't spawn quick enough. Meh! I want Einherjar "points"!

On friday, I did another morning hunt for a Fomor Codex. This time around I had a bit more time on my hands, with nothing else needing my attention outside in the real world. Also, I managed to get the Fomor Codex after a short time anyways. I'm ready for a duo, or the linkshell event now.


Fafnir window was about to open again later in the day, and Chroma gathered up in the Dragon's Aery. Yet again, there was nobody but us up there, as everyone else was gathered at the Behemoth's Dominion hoping for a King Behemoth pop. Halfways into the window, a member even managed to pop Voluptuous Vivian, so we Escaped out and went over and killed it. No drops though.


A couple more windows passed, and we had now gotten competition. But when Fafnir finally showed himself, we did get the claim on it. The drops was alright, since Zatoichina needed an Aegishjalmr. And Becky got the Aquarian Abjuration: Feet, so congratulations to them both on their loots!


On saturday we didn't manage to get claim on Fafnir as it spawned, but rather got to watch another linkshell kill it.. however, when we did Nyzul Isle with the static, we did get a drop on floor 80! It was not Askar Korazin as I was hoping for, but it was a pretty good sloppy seconds. Denali Jacket for my Ranger! It was a freelot, but still everyone passed it on to me. Thanks guys! ^_^)/


Due to getting this Denali Jacket, I decided I would change the goals for my Ranger equipment, and take it a bit more seriously. I bought myself a Behemoth
Ring +1 and looked through what other things
I wanted to change.


One of these things was the current Velocity Earring earring, for a Deadeye Earring obtained from the "Pulling the Strings" ENM, so I decided to give it a go. It turned out to be a pretty easy solo ENM, but sadly I didn't get any drop though. Maybe on thursday?


For now, I decided I would go pick up the Fenrir's Earring, since I already had the whisper saved up. It is after all a decent earring during night time.


So anyways, this is basically how my Ranger will be looking once I get the other pieces of equipment I want, as it is only invisible equip that I want to replace.
(Ring, Earring, Neck etc.)

To be more specific, what I wish to replace is the Fenrir's Earring for a Deadeye Earring, Peacock Charm for a Hope Torque, Precise Belt for the Buccaneer's Belt (Einherjar: 15,000 Ampoules of Therion Ichor) and maybe the Jahlzan's Ring from completing the Treasures of Aht Urgan Mission 44. Then all I need to replace is the Selene's Bow with a Eurytos' or Vali's Bow.

The following day I did Limbus with the linkshell on my Ranger, and I must admit it was tons of fun to shoot the Ghost Clot for 3540 damage etc., and I also got the Smalt Chip wich makes us 3/4 chips for Proto-Omega, so we should be doing that soon again as well.

Please forgive the fact that this entry had "alot" of content about Ranger. I am most definately a Beastmaster, to the full extent of the word. But as I previously wrote back when I got the Hunter's Jerkin +1.. I do once in a while enjoy disguising myself as a Ranger, to go hunting on the monsters that prey on my pet friends. The hunters becomes the hunted. Think of me as an avenger.
