I really need to stop waiting a few days to post new entries on things I have been up to. Yet again, I have a pile of imagery and words to compile, so I hope you are prepared for another huge blog entry, quite possibly the longest I have done to date.

But wait.. what is this? Keep reading to find out.

On saturday, a short time before our evening event, I popped Lord of Onzozo again. I was talking with my friend Vyvyan at the time, and told him it had popped. Daca had been Away all that day, and was still not back, wich I told Vyvyan as he wished me good luck.

I wanted to duo it, as I find it to be slightly more fun to do that, and there were someone that reminded me of gilsellers (BLM74x3) farming the required Torama's that I needed for a safe solo, so it would also be better with a duo in that regards as well. Vyvyan told me he could come on his Monk, and I figured that it wouldn't exactly hurt if he did. If he could maintain minimum hate, so I could switch pets easily while he "tanked" in the meanwhile, it would certainly help make things run smoother.

It worked out most of the time, but Lord of Onzozo still wanted to come beat on me, at more than one occasion. In the end however, none of us had died and we had managed to kill it, with the use of only two Torama pets.

With only minutes to spare before the event, we rushed over to Aht Urhgan Whitegate, teleported to the Azouph Isle Staging Point and ran over to Nashmau, as we were doing Einherjar and Sky farming as this evenings events. Not exactly alot of people showed up for Einherjar, but we still attempted to complete another Grimgerde's room. It sadly ended with failure..

..wich turned out was all for the best, as Khimaira popped while we were recovering from our wipe. We rushed over there as soon as we could, but sadly we ended up seeing another linkshell claim it right before we could get enough people there to make it a safe tag. The competing linkshell took ages though, so Sky farm was cancelled, while we waited around to see how things progressed.

You see, they were rather low on numbers, and as suspected, around 11%, after about 3 hours had passed, they wiped. We claimed it and quickly finished it off in somewhere around a minute and a half. At least this was the fastest kill we have ever had from claim to death, hehe. Drops was pretty fruitless, but I don't think we would have deserved anything better at any rate, getting it at such a low health. It was late, and I could finally head for my bed.

Sometime in the afternoon the following day, King Vinegarroon decided to show itself, and Chroma gathered over there before a scheduled meeting with Proto-Omega. Sadly King V didn't want to give our dedicated camper his helm, but we always hope that next time will be more rewarding. Notably, it had a good timing on showing itself for once, this time.


Afterwards, although a bit delayed, we got ourselves over to Sea, entered Limbus and took out Proto-Omega. I even got myself a Lanolin Cube in the process as well! So this coming Sunday, I can finally upgrade my Beast Trousers and be another step closer to my end goals for Weapon Skill gear! I can't wait! Also, congratulations to Inflames with Homam Cosciales and to Zexy on Homam Gambieras! But after 3 years, I am also pretty darn pleased about getting a Lanolin Cube!




Later in the evening we did a Bahamut v2 TP Burn fight. (I was on Ranger since my Beastmaster needs a bit more equip to be optimal for any type of HNM TP Burn.) Congratulations goes out to my friend, Linkx, on his Bahamut's Staff, wich basically completed his Summoner equip and of course to Shiroh on the Bahamut's Mask.


Also, since no day would be complete without a daily Lord of Onzozo kill, and this day being no different. I popped and soloed it this time as Daca had already logged off. Alas, it didn't result in any club this time either. But it was fun though, wich is 90% of the reason behind me killing it all the time.


The next day as I woke up, I went to The Boyahda Tree, to see if my friend the Ancient Goobbue was up and about. He was indeed, and since Linkx had asked to duo with me sometime, I asked if he wanted to come now. He has access to Daca's character, so he used that, and we proceeded to kill the oldie. It resulted in no Great Katana this time either, but I do enjoy a daily dose of Ancient Goobbue anyways.


Rest of the day I spent doing some various things and camping NM's that didn't want to show themselves. But in the evening, I popped another Lord of Onzozo again.

I asked if Linkx wanted to duo some more, since he had requested that we would do so after the Ancient Goobbue kill. He wanted to come, so I waited a little for him to get there, this time playing on his Summoner. It worked out very well also, but we got no club drop though. It is rather to be expected from his lordship anyways. Ending the day, I went to bed and had myself a good nights sleep.


When I woke up, I decided I wanted to complete the Saga of the Skyserpent questline, that I wrote about a few days back. I had one more General to learn about, namely Mihli, and by far, this was the coolest part in story of the generals, with loads of cool, action filled sequences. I can't help but recommend everyone who has not done this quest series to go look it up and get it done. You shouldn't be disappointed.
After completing this questline, I decided to pick up on the Treasures of Aht Urgan Missions again, where I left them back in 2006 (since I quit). After a handful of easy and soloable missions, I had Khimaira 13 coming up, and decided I would want to try and solo this as well.

Knowing that a Beastmaster would stand little to no chance in this endeavour, basically due to lacking available pets and Call Beast having a far too long recast to even bother attempting it with that, I decided to switch to the stealthier side of myself, and went as a Ninja. A handful minutes later, to my great pleasure, I found myself having managed to solo it quite easily, on my first attempt. It was quite pleasing in fact.



I then got invited to come merit by a linkshell member, so I did that for a few hours before we disbanded and I did some more missions. But then got to a part where it required me to wait until after Japanese midnight before I could continue, wich had been 5 minutes earlier.. Doh! I hate when that happens!

Since I had no choice on the missions but to wait, I decided that I would go try and get a pop item for the Thief's Knife, now that they have changed the spawn conditions and all.

Then on my way to the Temple of Uggalepih, I figured it would be wise to take a look and see if Rose Garden was around as well, since I also want the Vilma's Ring. It turned out that was a smart choice, because as I arrived there, Rose Garden was up and about, crawling around on the lower grounds. Knowing there is little point in waiting around for Voluptuous Vilma (as other people would kill Rose Garden if they passed by anyways), I just killed it, and recieved as expected, nothing for the minimal effort it took Carrie to kill it ^_^)/


I continued my travel to the Temple of Uggalepih and started to kill the Tonberry Pursuer's, wich drops the pop item for Thief's Knife. But after three times of getting hate from Carrie, and instantly getting Everyone's Grudged by the Pursuer for over 3000 damage (I don't want to reset the accumulated hate), I gave up as it wasn't worth the experience points loss, or travel time back to the temple for that matter. Next time I will just let Carrie fight them for me on her own. I'm sure she won't mind.


Daca logged in around the time I decided to stop doing that, so we went together to see if Ancient Goobbue was up again. It was and we killed it without a single mischarm. No Great Katana, but gil is gil, experience points are welcome and the fight is still fun.


Afterwards we travelled to the Labyrinth of Onzozo, wich seems to have become a daily home for us two these days. Upon entering the area, I checked my Widescan and found that Mystixmaker Profblix was up, so we went there to kill it for the money, that is, if nobody was camping it. It turned out nobody was actively camping it, and it was just walking around on its own, so we killed it.

It was no earring that dropped, but none of us was in need of that anyways, and it was only a Thundaga III wich got autolooted to me and I sold for a measly 15,000 gil later that dropped. Then again, 15,000 gil is quite decent these days I guess. Pays for some consumables, hehe..

We managed to pop and kill Peg Powler as well and Daca got autolooted the "awesome" Schwarz Axt!


Then we popped Ose in the hopes that Daca could get an Assault Jerkin drop, but it was not our day in regards to that. Hopefully next time it drops! As a funny note, there was another party that arrived a good while after we had started to kill the Ose placeholder, that obviously was after Ose as well.

They followed us all around after we got the claim, and once we started to switch our Torama pets, they seemed to have gotten the idea that they wanted to get us killed, by attempting to kill every single Torama out there. Luckily there is a bit too many Torama's for anyone to do that without a proper alliance, so we managed to kill Ose. But I found it cheap of them to lower themselve to such tactics. Ironically they clapped and cheered once we killed it.. hah!


And lastly, no day as said, is complete without a Lord of Onzozo kill, and he popped just before Daca decided to go to bed. There were something in my gut, that just told me while we were busy fighting,
that `Today is the day, but..`

And as I already know, I need to trust my gut more often. We got the Octave Club to drop! Daca then told me to lot it, wich I of course happily did...


..and lotted a 87. I had a feeling I would lot poorly on the club, there was that `but..` feeling I had earlier. But then Daca just passed it and I found myself with a new club in my inventory. O' happy days! Thank you very much Daca, for letting me just have the club like that.

I will actually put this club to decent use soon in the future as well, since I plan to "finish" my Dark Knight up to Lv.72, obtain a bit of "zerg" equipment, then bring it for HNM TP Burns (at the very least until my Beastmaster can perform decent enough numbers for that). It was a really great way to end the day, and also a great way I feel, to end this blog entry. Until next we meet again, keep safe, and feed your pets!
