Death Sickle !!!

.........................ok before I begin this post I just wanted to say one thing and get it off my manly hairy chest ..... yes my ISP is still fucked up.... somedays I get no DC.....others I DC every few minutes. This has unfortunetly caused me to miss a few in game events and I apologize to my team mates. When will it get fixed ............... no clue cause Verizon suxs. Anyway on with todays show.......... .........................Oooops almost forgot........... I got the next Campaigne 2nd Wings rank and another merit and also even though I did die like 20 times this week I still have experience capped on Drk. I also have all 4 Mystic weapons now to work towards the new weapon skills for all 4 of my 75 jobs. PAST BC'S:

.........................ok here we started off with 4 members doing some low man Past BC NM fights...... Like the military policy ..... "Don't ask, Don't tell".......but if you don't understand that then you can kind of get the idea ......by looking at the pictures. EINHERJAR: ...................................Well we wiped to one of the runs on Tuesday but totaly turned that around on Saturday when we totally oblitarated the Vamp Boss as fast as a Kirin TP-Burn. Team-Ares FTW.

...................................Thats it for today ...... sorry ...........but this is all I could muster up with my shity ISP. See ya all online (hopefully >< ) ~BAM !

Internet Woes ........

..................I would like to apologize to all my friends that I do in game events with. I have had very bad DC issues the past 4 days and Verizon is no help to me at all as usual. I mean .....it got so bad that I couldn't be online for like more then 5 minutes with out DC'ing. Anyway I have tried many things to resolve this issue with no win in sight...... However.... as of this morning I have had no DC with the internet for 1 hour..... logged in as Eternalpain on his XBOX. I am heading to work now and I am gonna leave Eternalpain logged on all day untill I get home from work. Hopefully it will still be online when I get home and not DC'd. We will see. ...no ~BAM today.... and hope to see you online ;(

Free Skill-Ups !

(credit below goes to Siviard on the Shiva Server and posted on the Limit Break Radio forums website.....please note people claim that this has not been nerfed yet and I will be testing it out today) Skill Ups "Easy Button" {Found it!} by SiviardOfShiva on Thu Jan 24, 2008 11:58 am Okay well as you are all aware, when WoTG was released SE introduced the Fortifications for each Campaign zone. However, whenever a zone is in Beastmen control, players are able to freely attack the Fortifications which pop up either A) surrounding the main Fortification tower in outdoor zones, or B) Scattered around the beastmen controlled dungeons. At present there are very little to no beastmen controlled outdoor zones. Your best bet is either Garlaige Citadel [S] or The Eldieme Necropolis [S] dungeons. The Eldieme Necropolis [S] is the best as there are NO mobs anywhere near the Fortification so you can go afk without any fear of agro. The best Fortifications can be found at: Eldieme Necropolis [S] - I-8 (The main room against the Eastern wall) Garlaige Citadel [S] - H-8 (First underground room against dilapidated shed structure) Ok - so onto the free skill ups! Well if you have a subpar skill in any weapon visit these Fortifications and start attacking them. Do not get any Allied Tags if Campaign begins because you will not gain any skill ups and you will be open to beastmen attack. As long as you do not engage with any Allied Beastmen you WILL NOT be attacked! You will continue to skill up at an alarming rate. I managed to go from 10-147 skill in Staff in just 5 hours of swinging. Now the best part is once the Fortification ??? pops you can attack and walk away letting you skill up while afk with no fear of being attacked. However, be aware in Garlaige Citadel [S] there is one random Yagudo that patrols the site where the major Fortification ??? pops so be aware that external agro for people under 70 may occur. Now the Skill cap is quite low on these Forts however. I have identified the Skill Cap ceiling as this: A skill in weapon: Caps at 150 B skill in weapon: Caps at 147 C skill in weapon: Caps at 144 D skill in weapon: Caps at 141 E skill in weapon: Caps at 138 The Fortifications WILL pop for you to attack when no Campaign battle is going on and will stay there until the next Campaign battle ends. It will then re-appear a short time after (max 10~15 mins). Then you simply re-engage and rinse/repeat until you hit the cap. The Fortifications are massively easy to hit so you can go naked if you like! I went as a LVL 73 DRK naked with 42 Great Axe skill, and in about an hour, got it up to 86 even while going AFK to use restroom and sit back and drink a beer! So that's it! Just take your un-skilled weapons and start whacking like crazy and cap them out to at least 60% their maximum. Unfortunately after that it's all you and solo fun to max it to full cap. But hopefully this has saved you a ton of time, all while afk, all with no deaths! This is a blatant steal and I fear SE will wisen up with a ninja-nerf soon enough so be aware this may not last much longer so hop too it!! Otherwise, hope this helps, ENJOY! Also, you can FULLY CAP your skills on campaign mobs. Simply DO NOT GET ALLIED TAGS! Just engage and start whacking away. You WILL get skill ups on Campaign mobs!

Waiter....there's a Gnat in my Red Curry Soup.....

.......................I would like to announce that for the 1st time ever.........I have capped DRK experience 43,999/40,000 ! ....oh and add another 2 more Merits to my line up . .......................Check it out.......... in Campaigne today I was using a BodyBoost and eating Carbonara with a total of about 2480 HP. I was fighting a Campaigne NM Orc called DeathLord Rujgnsi and he hit me for 1239 damage and then immediately did a AOE move for 1280....dropping everyone around me....(about 30+ people). I lived with like 1100+ HP because I had DrainSpikes up that gave me back the 1239 HP after the 1st hit. Well...anyway It was pretty awesome. .......................I also got my HolyKnight Emblem-4 back .... and I am working towards the 1st Wings rank so I can get the last 2 Iron Ram gears for my up and coming PLD which is level 34. I am currently at like 37,000/100,000 Allied Notes that are needed. ........................Also last night we did the North West Apollyon run in Limbus. My Drk's Dark Magic Macro'd Gear set was doing 450+ Drain 2's on the Kronprinz Behomoth every time. The highest was a 481. I am sure with the last few items that I need I can increase that to beyond the 500 damage range easily..... on that particular mob. .........................Finally..... a few of you may have noticed that the past week and a half I have been online less then normal. It is because my best friend is having some bad real life issues and is currently hang'n at my house for a small bit. You all know him as Eternalpain on the Odin server. Everybody please cheer him up online if you see him. Anyway that's it for today ...just a small post. See ya online ! ~BAM

Drain2 and Ring's USU too !

.......................OK first I want to talk about Drain2 and how it overwrites Body Boost and Giants Drink. This would seem like basic common sense...(seeing how alot of other spells get over writ'd by even stronger spells to prevent them from stacking)..... BUT ......... there is something more to tell here. I am betting that even though most DRKs know about that....... they do not know about this. Drain2 will not over write Body Boost or Giants Drink if the spell does not fill your HP past it's HP cap at the time of completing your cast! What does it mean..... it means you can use it as long as you are smart and understand this concept. Anyway on with the rest of the Blog ... ;) ..................................congrats to RingThree on his full Usu Salvage set ! ...................................some random Past NM's, ZNM's, and Campaigne Pics ! (Below: Campaigning ......you either love it or hate it.....) (Below: Campaigning ....almost capped DRK XP less then 1000 short) (Below: Past NM's ..... nothing funny to say here ><) (Below: Illius is a DingBat as ussual) (Below: HellzFury popped online for possibly the last time and I had to kill him 1 more time with SATA to a NM) ................................see ya all online ~BAM

DO NOT LOOKY HERE (PART2) ... you know you wanna know !!!!!

LIMBUS: .....................................wow....... a huge post today with lots of goodies to all the boys and girls....... and 1 goody for me .....and it's not even my birthday. Say hello to my new little friend called Homam Corazzo ....which now puts me at a full set of Homam. Last night we did another Omega and 3 items dropped. Congrats to Aniero and another member who got the other item. Sorry that I forgot who it was but I was so tired last night and I don't want to input the wrong persons name. HeHe....you can kill me in the game later on....... and yes I will be using this for higher end game events and experience party specifically for Guillotine spamming where my Ares's Cuirass will be outperformed due to the ACC issue and Triple Attack enhancement. I do not have a E-body nor do I have a Hauby+1 so I will use the Homam Corazzo in it's stead. The below 3 pictures are extremely dark ......please forgive me. AF+1 Set: HOMOM Set: ARES'S Set: ASSAULTS: .................ok sorry Algeron but I can not pass this up.....LMAO...... OK Algeron, Ravax, and I were doing a quick Red Vs.Blue Assault. Ravax was the Pop'r... I was the Kite'r....and Algeron was the NPC kill'r. Well once we were ready and Ravax popped the fight....I used Drain Spikes and was getting ready to pull. However as I was casting Drain Spikes .....Algeron ran like 5 feet from all the NPC's and hid behind a rock. He then got agro and was killed which netted us a total loss. What was funny to me about this situation was Algeron was using the rock as a form of agro cover..... LMAO...if he ever reads this Blog entry he is gonna be like "Nooooo your a Asshole" .... but sorry bro this was way to funny when it happened and I was literally on the floor laughing my ass off. SALVAGE:

.................In Salvage news ......I am starting to work towards the cheapest of the Usu set items but I am in no way in any rush because I already completed my goal of the Ares's set and I am quite happy about it. I also spotted Qtipus the Teabagger .......in my travels who does his Salvage runs with RingThree's group and he just completed his Ares's Cuirass and is looking pimp now especially when you add the fact that he also has the Relic PoleArm.

.................I also made a Forum for our Salvage LinkShell RemnantBrave. So members please sign up ....especially you Ravax and Mav ! BESEIGED: ..................I also managed to snag a Beseiged....... which I desperately needed because I haven't done any experience parties in a long while and last week Omoikitte deleveled me to Level-74 and I was fresh out of ISP for useing the Runic Portals. CAMPAIGNE: .................I started doing Campaigne once again to get my Ranks back up especialy since I lost like 2 Medals in the past 6 months. Well I got 1 Medal back and now my Drk buffer is at 40,000. I am gonna cap my experience in the next dew days and this will be the first time that I will ever accomplished this. Poor Omoikitte is gonna have a hard time deleveling me now! I am also leveling PLD which is now at level-34 and I am aiming for all 4 of the Magic Defense gears from Campaigne. I am currently 2/4 for that gear set. PLD who also get good use out of my Homam and Ares gear.

SKY:

................We did a little SKY in Versus twice this week and I did a nice 2066 hit with 300TP SpirelHell with the Brave Grip on Seiryu..........which made one of the Tanks not lose any agro for like 90% of the entire fight .....LMAO

ERROR 202:

..................after the Maintenece and the small update I fell asleep in Aht Whitegate only to wake up with this message: Error 202: Unable to reserve required memory. I am on the Xbox and that is a FFXI Error message not a XBOX message. I am thinking that this is possibly a new trick that the Server can do from the update. Especially since Odin is over packed. My guess is that if you go AFK in a crowded area this will kick you out automatically.

BONUS#1: .............Clicky Here for a website about FFXI Icons...... has info which includes that there is actually 4 types of GM's that I didn't even know. BONUS#2: ...............Clicky Here for a "In-Progrss Version" of a New SIG for my freind DarkDawn .... let me know your thoughts....

BONUS#3: .........................I found this picture which looks like a Moogle Bitch Slap. ~BAM ...that's it for now...see ya ONLINE !
