Not a whole lot to report in the last 2 weeks, hence no LJ Updates.

Most important to note for me would be that we did succeed in the MKD final fight as alluded to in my last entry.  I took the Anwig Salade with STR+4 WS Acc+15 and R.Acc+10 R.Att+5 as my reward.  It pretty much replaced all headgear for my RNG and COR.  It should be especially ( Read more... )

Unbeknownst to me until I logged on Sunday, the server had unlocked Splitting Heirs at the last conquest tally.  So we went about regular Sunday events and I got some dinner and stuff, when it came about that we'd give them a try.  I was hesitant at first, because I didn't want to change nations, but I remembered how fun the Castle Oztroja [S] Op ( Read more... )

Last night was Odin #15 for Immortality.  Once again it was smooth, and once again we got mixed results on the drops.  We got a couple of things that people wanted, but we also got 2 Martial Abjuration: Body ... which no one present had on their wishlist.  That's the thing about Einherjar ... you can't miss, or you get left out of a future Odin and ( Read more... )

The weekend started out with a boom as we ventured back into Bahamut's lair to take on version 2 of this bid baddie.  Out of the 5 Orbs we possess, we were able to do 4 and all resulted in wins.  The first one was shaky due to an ill-timed Terrorga, but once it wore we settled things down and finished it off.  Here's a composite image of all the ( Read more... )

I've been pretty busy with work and family lately, and to top it off I've been sick so I've lacked updates here and not been online much outside of events so it's not like there's been tons to report on anyway.  However, there have been a few notable happenings along with some cool rare stuff that happened to us.

Ouryu Cometh:
Last Thursday, we ( Read more... )

Remember when I thought I won a Chocobo Beret, but I wasn't sure?  vedderffxi.livejournal.com/69651.html

Well, I checked my POL mail and found the confirmation email today!

Last week Plucking Wings was available on Cerberus for the first time since November 2008.  I'm not sure how to explain it, probably some determined JPs campaigning nonstop in Windurst areas got the job done, who knows?!

What I do know is that we took advantage and got a group together for Plucking Wings, which is an Offensive Campaign Op that's ( Read more... )

Last night was our 14th overall Odin, but our first true 2 week Odin, I think.  We've beaten all 3 Wings in a row between Odins before, I think each time we had to do a repeat in order to get more people access to Odin's Chamber.  Well this time, we did an Odin on Feb 24th, won 3 straight Wings, then did another Odin last night.  Sexy!

The bane of our Einherjar existence has been the King Behemoth Wing 3 boss, Dendainsonne.  Until recently, we'd not gotten him all that much.  But lately, he seems to be popping up every other time we enter a Wing 3 zone.  Well, we got him again yesterday ... but this time we had our handy-dandy can of 'Dendainsonne be GONE!'

Who has 2 thumbs and is slow to complete the Add-On missions?  THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.

Believe it or not, almost a year after it's release I've finally completed the 'A Crystalline Prophecy' add-on missions.  They weren't hard, really.  By now, everyone's figured out how to optimize the missions and it didn't take too long to complete them.  The most ( Read more... )
