"I crouch down to grab some dirt and rub it between my palms.
I pause for a moment, `Will I make it out alive this time?`.
To my side is my trusted companion, eagerly awaiting my commands.
`What do you think Carrie? Shall we go for it?` I know the answer,
she has already told me without the need for words. We can sense
what the other is thinking. We are ready. Live or die.. here we go."
Perseverance prevails! Wednesday, 9th January 2008
As I have been writing these past days, I have spent some of my spare time camping Quu Domi the Gallant, in hope of obtaining the Sarutobi Kyahan for my Ninja, to take it one more step towards my completed all-round set for this secondary job. It started off as an adventure full of optimism, followed by slight frustration and gritting teeth, to having nightmares while sleeping about Yagudo Heralds coming to assasinate me in my bed, staining the sheets with blood! You have any idea how hard it is to get blood stains out of your bed sheets?!
Anyways.. today didn't seem to be much different, as Quu Domi, upon Quu Domi, continued to shaft me on the boots dropping. I tried everything I could to see if it would affect the drop rate. Granted, I spent most of the day in bed, as I am sick, so I didn't get all claims either. Eventually it was ground HNM camping time, so I got myself out of bed and I moved myself to Dragon's Aery, in an attempt to help Chroma claim Fafnir. But today wasn't our day, and another linkshell claimed him, while we watched it die. After this, the Nyzul Isle Assault static group gathered, to do a little low level climbing for points on the main disc, and then a third go up to floor 80, wich resulted in our first win, a saved disc and a body piece drop! Congratulations Obev on the first body drop, a spanking new Goliard Saio! As I wrote, I have been feeling sick lately, but decided to park myself in Castle Oztroja, in hopes that when I eventually woke up, I wouldn't feel so sick that I wouldn't be able to hunt Quu Domi the Gallant a couple more times. Well chances had it, that I got a couple claims alone with absolutely no competition, but alas no drop. I went to bed and slept, then woke up because my body had to get rid of some waste. If I have to be very obvious, I had to throw up.
After collecting myself from this horrible experience (I hate throwing up..) I decided to give it a go on Quu Domi again before heading back to bed. While I was trying to spawn him, a little tarutaru Ninja named Ruthless, came running in and was clearly camping as well. We spoke a little, and decided to team up so we both had the chance on the NM, and the drop. Quu Domi spawned soon after, and finally he dropped the Kyahan! We wished eachother luck, and lotted. I hesitated a little on my lot, had a bad feeling about it.. ..but it turned out I worried for no reason at all! I won the lot and the Sarutobi Kyahan dropped into my bags.
The extreme joy filling me at that moment is unparalleled to recent events. Although I have been very happy over other accomplishments, the fact that I had needed to throw up, resulted in me finally getting the pair of boots I had been hunting all week.. it just seemed too good to be true. I had to pinch myself, to make certain that I wasn't still sound asleep!
I am so happy, I can call myself done with camping in this god forsaken place! Hehe.. Good night! Hopefully I will feel less nauseous after sleeping. PS: I stayed and camped some more Quu Domi the Gallant's with my new tarutaru aquaintance, but no more boots dropped. Bleh! Hope he gets them sooner than I did!
