Pull My Finger! Shantollo Style!

Dynamis:

...........Last Wednsday I aquired the Key-Item from the Obsidian LinkShell Dynamis-Quifim win. I also got my 1st DRG Relic AF Gear (Hands) and an Abyss Cape. The Abyss Cape is one hell of a DRK Cape which is good for a variety of different Builds.

Abyss Cape:

ACC+7, WSACC+7, MACC+7

Now my Guiolitine Build has:

34 WSACC!

Now my Enfeebling Build has:

268 Skill

+16 MACC

Now my Dark Magic Build has:

335 Skill

+17 MACC

Dark Obi

Dark Staff (working on Y's Scythe)

Dark Grip

Dark Seal

Enfeeble Blindness Kit and Shantollo:

...........Finally after 6 tries I managed to make an Enfeeble Blindness Kit and moved on thru the rest of the Mini-Expansion's retardedly redundent "Time Sinks". I had to do every Mission at least twice but eventually I made it to the final BC. It took our team about five tries to get the win but Shantollo was destined to go down. Our team consisted of Qtip, Kay, Gaw, Cealy, Lect, and me (that's 2 Relic weapons and a Bahumut Scythe there bishes).

...........I am like 99% sure everyone else on the server will be using the cheap SMN Burn Strategy..... /cough the path of least resistance. However players will find the ending much more rewarding, by earning it thru frustration and hardship instead of just gunning for a Leech spot just to get the Reward Item ("take it in the ass like a real man baby".....fake quote by Lect).

............All in all it took me 7 days to blow thru the entire Mini-Expansion. I did miss a full weeks Runs of Salvage but my friends understand. I offer my help and I wouldn't mind netting some more Keys in the process. One of the Keys Gaw had gave him a MAB+2/Conserve MP+2 Earring (basicaly a Crapaud Earring+1)..... meanwhile Qtip got with the same Key a Hi-Ether+1 (basically a turd+1).

Gaw>> ....Nice! OH YeaHHHH!

Qtip>> .....Hi-Ether+1...WTF

as for Augments....... ............I ended up choosing the Haste+3 and ACC+7. This is so I can use a Blitz Ring instead of a ACC Ring in my TP-Build. Here's a look at the MAIN difference that conserns me in the trade off:

-1.6 ACC (loss)

+1 Haste (gain)

Unfortunetly the Blitz Rings have doubled in price in the AH (600K Gilz now) and I'm a broke ass DRK with 7K worth of Gilz in my pocket....... so I will have to wait.

Merits:

..........I actualy got a few more from FOV which nets me a total of 401.

Thats it for today... see ya all online!

~BAM

The Secret Ingredient to the Latent, Hidden Effect, Secret Ingredient Soup.

Merits: ......Finally SAM is fully Merited. Woooooot! That makes three jobs (DRK, WAR, SAM) Merit Capped and out of the way. I can now focus on DRG Tier 1+2 Merits then finish leveling PLD to 75. Merits are now currently at 397/468 untill I get another 75 Job. ......I can honestly say that the last 100+ Merits were strictly from FOV and Campaigne. No Greater Colbri's were harmed in the making of those Merits. ......I also capped Parrying for DRK. TOAH Kings: .......Just the other day Qtipus was gauge'n the Obsidian LinkShell to see who is interested in doing the TOAH Kings for the Titles. This is good news to me because I need those Titles for the Mystic Weapon Quest. Specifically the Scythe. Evolith: .........Evolith......so where did SE create this name from? Evolution + Monolith? Synergy: .........Synergy......6 players creating something while surounding a dumb ass furnace.....kind of like 6 witches creating a bubbling brew while surounding a black cauldron. Maybe we can make Ruby Slippers+1. I don't know. I hope this doesn't mean I need to level a Craft. That would suck but if I had to I will be using Qtipus Critical Break Series Crafting Blog Posts that can be found on his Blog "TeaBags and KY Jelly" or RingThree's Blog "You Are Not Your Fucking O's Okote". Other Shit: ..........and finally what does the movie Kung-Fu Panda and Evolith/Synergy have in common? "There is no secret ingredient" That's right.............there is onry TIME SINK!!!!!! /cue Doctor Who theme music ~BAM

Scythe True 5-Hit Build (20TP per Swing)

........After having a chat with my friend Ravax I realized that I can now pull off a True 5-hit Build with my Vendetta Scythe (or any other 528 Delay Scythe). Last time I tried this I was using the Death Scythe+1 (513 Delay) and also had no access to the Rose Strap (Store-TP +4). At that time the Rose Strap wasn't introduced into the Game yet. The Idea behind any X-Hit Build is simple...... maintain good Accuracy and Haste while aquiring enough Store-TP to create one less Attack Round in order to WeaponSkill more frequently. To get the 5-Hit Build as a Drk with a Scythe you need a 528 Delay Weapon, Sub /Sam, and aquire Store-Tp +24 from Food and Gear. Here's my current 5-Hit TP Build: FOOD Carbanara (Store-Tp+6) HEAD "Walmart" Turban NECK Chiv. Chain (Store-Tp+1) BACK Bushido Cape (Store-Tp+1) GRIP Rose Strap (Store-Tp+4)T HROW Fire Bomblet HANDS Homam BODY Askar Korazin (Store-Tp+5) LEGS Homam FEET Homam WAIST Swift Belt EAR1 Brutal Earring (Store-Tp+1) EAR2 Abyssal Earring RING1 Ecohoria Ring (Store-Tp+1) RING2 Rajas (Store-Tp+5) ..........I am also looking to improve this Build by aquiring a Justice Torque, White Tahlum, Abyss Cape, and those new Mini-Expansion Legs (STR+2, VIT+2, Haste+3%, ACC+7). FOOD Carbanara (Store-Tp+6) HEAD "Walmart" Turban NECK Justice Torque BACK Abyss Cape GRIP Rose Strap (Store-Tp+4) THROW White Tahlum (Store-Tp+2) HANDS Homam BODY Askar Korazin (Store-Tp+5) LEGS "Mini-Exp Legs" FEET Homam WAIST Swift Belt EAR1 Brutal Earring (Store-Tp+1) EAR2 Abyssal Earring RING1 Ecohoria Ring (Store-Tp+1) RING2 Rajas (Store-Tp+5) ...........Hopefully some really good new Store-TP Gear will be introduced for DRK in this update because I really hate the Bushido Cape and the Ecohoria Ring. Thanks Ravax for the assist. Weapon Skill, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit = 100TP ~BAM
