Finally! After having seen plenty of other linkshells claiming the Ground HNM's for a couple of weeks now, we got ourselves our first claim of 2008. Our victim as it were, was to be Fafnir - the prince of Dragon's Aery! Upon his death, following a pretty painless fight.. the word `Ridill!` soared through the linkshell as we saw Chroma's third Ridill (in 3 months!), fill the loot pool.

Lior, who was the only person present that plays a Warrior, was happily allowed to lot on it uncontested. You lucky git! Hehe.. Congratulations are in order, Lior - on this sweet blue and gold dream of a sword! Much envy my friend, much envy ^_-)b

And to think a couple weeks back, you were considering to quit Final Fantasy XI because of Byakko's Haidate never dropping for you. I bet you are glad you listened to me when I said, good things come to those that wait.



After this third drop, I signed myself up on the loot list as well, wanting this lovely sword, now that there are nearly no other people with jobs that are being steadily used and that benefit from meleeing with a one-handed weapon. Other than Daca also being signed up, there are a few Ranger's, a Dark Knight and Samurai's etc. written on the list as well. And I even think that a Ranger, are (sadly) allowed to lot on the same level of priority as a Beastmaster, and there are plenty of Ranger's signed as wanting it. Hmm...

I can't say I wouldn't love getting a Ridill, and with an already capped Sword skill, merits in that department and a massive Accuracy build - I already know I would be able to connect my hits. But if the future will grant me the luck I need however, is yet to be seen. What a great way to start our day though!

Later on, we did Ouryu as our evening event, and came successfully out of that, with some more drops for the linkshell bank funds, and a new Monarch's Orb for future planned Bahamut v2 fights.


Other than that, I have been enjoying a questline from Aht Urgan, wich depicts the story behind the Skyserpent General's founding and soldiers. It is a highly entertaining questline and I would like to advice anyone with a sense for good storytelling, that enjoys long and action filled cutscenes, and that has not yet gotten around to doing this quest, to go look up the quest Saga of the Skyserpent.

Below are a few screen captures from the questline, but they should hardly spoil anything. I would rather hope they actually inspire you to go do the questline instead, to see what it's all about.



Wonder what the following weeks will bring. If I can wake up to more days like this one, I won't exactly complain about the angel dust in my eyes. Today was yet again, a totally awesome day. And maybe some day, I too will be wielding a Ridill as well, beside my fellow Warriors of Chroma.. Everyone's allowed to dream, right?
