Gotta Catch ‘Em All

Sorry for not talking to you all for a while.  But I have been living a pretty hectic life between school, gleeful, american idol, age of empires, and ffxi.  Let’s begin with the most important: FFXI!  Kaitlin, Opiate, Steak, Yumichan, and Squiggilicious have all moved to Leviathan party and it has been great times.  Countless EXP parties, nyzul wins (and fails), einherjar, dynamis and in general LOL-ing.  Since my last post I have gotten both DRK and BLU to 37, making me 10/20 for jobs to 37+.  My next goal was going to be Dragoon, but after getting it to 25 via a Summoner Burn, I just kinda didn’t love the idea of getting another job to 37.  So of course my “new” mission was to get Ranger to 75, which was at 26.  I pulled for a black mage party and I must say my pulling skills were perfection, and managed to ding up to 30 that very night.  Steak pulled me out to that same camp by the outpost of Zi’tah on Black Mage on the promise, that I will never level it beyond 55.  I honestly don’t want to be an endgame Black Mage, like not even a little bit, because once I have that job, people are gonna want me on it, and since I don’t love it, I will berndherbert sigh bitch every time someone wants me to go on it.

I started my very own Einherjar linkshell, called Connection Speed, it is the sister pearl to our social Connection Lost, both of which our found in auto-trans.   We have done 5 runs so far, all of which have been the same chamber and tier.  So we have lost, but do not dismay!  Even though we are losing we haven’t gotten a little closer each time, this most recent time, today, got the boss down to 8%.  I definitely thought we were gonna win, but we just don’t have the Damage Dealer power to pull out the wins.  We only went in with 21 people and I sincerely think we are doing very good.  Lioneve pulls with precision medical technology and this has been a real asset to our linkshell.  Kaitlin had to pull one week, because Lioneve was busy travelling.  She did a great job, and even though she linked a million dark elementals and killed us all, she was really good.  I actually wouldn’t mind having her pull again in the future, maybe Lioneve can teach her the way of the secret whale pulling.

One day I forcefully told asked the linkshell to go up to sky and help me farm steamcleaner, it was honestly mainly a bust, but we did have some fun.  I was inspired by Connection Lost’s first Byakko win, it is amazing what a social linkshell can do all together when we all help everyone out.  Berndherbert got his byakko’s haidate and everything was grand.  So I was hoping for Crimson Finger Gauntlets for my future ranger corsair.  Also recently, the linkshell went down to the aqueducts and got Iphigenia and Kaitlin’s their Gaudy Harness and more importantly got Squigglicious her pld/war subligar so she can finish the quest she flagged years ago.

I feel like I have so much more to say, but too much has happened for me to even attempt to organize all my thoughts, so the only cure for this problem is to blog more.  I will try to force myself to do it at least once a week!  Thank you for reading as always!
