"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."
The rich only gets richer? Tuesday, 29th January 2008
A short time after waking up on Sunday, King Vinegarroon popped and the linkshell members that were online, gathered up to kill it. Again the drops were absolutely lolworthy, as it dropped nothing again. We can still only hope for future kills being a bit more generous.. stingy scorpion! I continued the rest of the morning, finishing my quest for the Angelstone and upgrading my gobbiebag. These quests for the Deathstone and Angelstone are very entertaining, and I give it my warmest recommandation as something to do. I also assume they are required for something else in the Wings of the Goddess expansion at some point in the future. Then finally Japanese midnight had passed, and I could go pick up my new weaponskill pants, the Beast Trousers +1! It took me a while before the Fetid Lanolin dropped, but now that I have these in my possession, it was well worth the wait. I love them! We did Limbus right after I picked up my pants, and I even got to clear up an inventory space by using my Scarlet Chip. Got a few coins out of it as well, wich I am now saving up to purchase a Loquacious Earring with. In the evening, we had Jailer of Love to pop, but needed a Jailer of Prudence in order to be able to pop Love twice. Prudence was taken care of quickly and then we continued to pop and kill the two Jailer of Love's.
Our first Jailer of Love took us about 57 minutes to kill as well, wich was a new record for Chroma. The second one gave us a bit of trouble, but on the other hand, it also rewarded us with a full drop though! Congratulations to Sizah on Novio Earring and to Aminore who wasn't there, on the Novia Earring! The next morning I decided I would go take a look, to see if Taisaijin was up. It wasn't, and soon after I had to go out for a job related meeting, so I decided I would just log out in Ranguemont Pass for now.
When I came home from the meeting, I found Taisaijin on my widescan, so I ran up there with Carrie by my side and engaged this elusive foe. Taisaijin had surprisingly more health than I would have imagined, but me and Carrie still made an easy job of it. No Spelunker's Hat this time though. And although I didn't get any Spelunker's Hat, I do enjoy the title it gives, wich is not too common to see either. I will definately try get my hands on the reversed Optical Hat though. Later in the evening, Ancient Goobbue got another visit from me, but he didn't want to give up any Great Katana's this time either. Still living in hope. I then went back to Bastok and outpost warped to the Elshimo Lowlands (Yuhtunga Jungle), to see if I couldn't find Rose Garden up and lurking. It sadly wasn't up when I got there, but soon afterwards it showed itself. But.. no ring. Meh! Then finally me and Daca had the time we wanted, to do that escort quest we had started on, so that we could recieve our experience points scroll. Mine nearly provided my Dark Knight Lv.37 with the full bonus, falling short of just 37 experience points from 1500. Before going to bed, I did a little skillup with a couple linkshell friends. Got my Scythe skill to 200 and learned Guillotine, wich I can't use on Beastmaster anyways.. As it was getting late, I decided to move myself over to the Castle of Oztroja entrance, since I am after the Ajase Bead Necklace dropped by Coo Keja the Unseen.
As I woke up, glancing over at the monitor, I saw Coo Keja staring me in my face! I quickly got out of bed, claimed it and discovered that this NM also has more health than I would have expected (but nothing deadly). Eventually I killed it and happily found that the Ajase Bead Necklace dropped into my inventory. My Dark Knight Lv.72 equipment is growing more and more complete. Around noon I decided to clear up some space in my Mog Safe, and crafted the Siren's Hair I got from my "failed" KS99 on saturday.. what a great choice! I nearly jumped out of my chair as I saw the -1 appear on my screen. I guess my KS99 orb wasn't such a failure after all, when this is taken into consideration..
Nearly instantly I had two people asking me if I would sell them. I hesitated, but then one of them offered me 12,000,000 gil for the mitts! With such a great offer, I just couldn't say no, and sold them right away. Normally I would have kept them around and checked if a linkshell member would want to buy them for the current material cost, but when I get shoved that amount of gil in my face.. it's hard to say no. The rest of the day I spent hunting for Taisaijin again, but it seems some selfish person had killed the Taisai to reset timer for themselves.. I hate when people do that. I also looked for Rose Garden, but there was no pop. King Vinegarroon popped, but before we had enough there to kill with, it managed to depop again. Nidhogg was claimed by another linkshell.
Basically it was a fairly uneventful day after the mitts, except for a duo with Daca versus the Ancient Goobbue before going to bed. It was a nice way to end the day. I am still in near disbelief that I managed to make another 12 million today. It's not like I am anywhere near being called poor in this game. And I also have another 20 Siren's Hair on my mule.. the day my gut tells me to craft, I might get lucky again.
Also, is there no end to these awesome days I am experiencing lately? Oh of course, don't get me wrong, I want more of them for sure! But my luck since I came back to the game.. it is nearly ridiculous! But who am I to complain, hehe. If I could only channel this luck into one item, say the Ridill.. hmm.
