Happy New Year, all.
I promised myself that I wouldn't post until I got a certain drop, and it just happened to coincide with the beginning of January, so that worked out pretty nicely.
I've been having a blast in EQ. We've been getting such amazing drops such as this:
Don't be jealous, please. Seriously though, it's been fun. Everyone is pretty laid back and I'm digging that attitude.
We also did 6 Ouryus and have a total of like 10 Monarch's Orbs. Sure, that fight is great for PLDs and for gil, but I think I came out the real winner that evening.
That's right, capped string. I was about to post my amazing accomplishment on BG, but I didn't want to steal the thunder away from people who've killed PW or something.
Not wanting to be outdone by that double Eye drop, we went and did Odin and got Dfeeted.
Lani was pretty stoked to get that Abody tho, so congrats to him. I've actually seen very few Abodies from Odin.
I got these for my BRD which is super cool(?).
I really wish they also had INT on them so they could replace Goliard, but that would make too much sense. Either way, thanks EQ!
Salvage has been going well, but no surprise there. I ended up with these as my first 35 from EQ!
Sure, I don't have any jobs that can wear them, nor can I stick my feet in them and get +10 MND. But if I ever level THF, RNG or COR, I'll be set!
Onto a drop that I can actually get somewhat excited about, it's been about a year since I've seen one of these:
Once that sold, I picked up one of these:
To continue my domination of RDM and BLM, I decided to craft myself a Vulcan's staff since I've been at 7/8 HQs for a while now. Actually, the real reason was I was like 1/30 on Ice Threnody on Ouryu, and I didn't want a repeat of that embarassment.
I was really only hoping for 1, but I'll take 2. It's like I get the HQ staff for free!
I decided to show my SAM some love this month, as well. My penta gear is pretty lacking, so I set out to improve that.
This guy reminded me of camping Mysticmaker back in 05/06 since you had to allot a block of time to just sit there and get ToD then come back once you had it. Luckily, the time I got the belt to drop I actually showed up to camp to see Belladonna just walking around. 1/4 total.
Fish's group was doing MKD missions, so I tossed my BLM hat and tagged along for the final mission to get a SAM hat.
+15 WSAcc, +4 STR, +2% WS Dmg which seems to be the norm.
I decided my RDM needed some love as well, so decided to camp Jasper Tathlum since it's the only non-augmented MND ammo in the game that RDM can use. It's not exactly a huge upgrade at +1 MND, but figured it'd be a pretty easy NM to camp. It was an easy camp, but the drop rate is another story....
Ended up 1/14 on this one with TH1.
Not satisfied with 1 drop that marginally improves performance from an NM with a horrid drop rate, I decided to camp Kotan-kor Kamuy. This guy was a bit tougher since it's not like I can just engage him and go make myself a sandwich like with Timeworn Warrior, but it's still a pretty easy RDM/NIN solo. Unfortunately, that means no lolTH1.
So 3 merits, 2 weeks, and 12 kills later, I finally got the drop on New Years Day.
Until next time.
