SE could cram 4 more 3 min Extension Abysites in the 2 new Zones. Abyssea-Sky .....anyone? 2) Goarding Belt. Congrats Kreoss! You are having an amazing Drop week for your Birthday.

New Blog Header (Part-2)

....... Reskinned The Header, retweaked the DRK Face, and crehanged the background. Seems better this way. Any Opinions?

Eve of the RMT...

Got To Catch 'em All! .............If you have ever fought Eccentric Eve before then you have seen it Charm other Players by turning them into Mini-Slave Marlboro's. Well this particular time a unknown RDM Player was observing our Battle and decided to take some ZNM Pokemon Snap Pictures. As we Kited the NM past him he was Charmed and was turned into a Mini-Marlboro. That's him in the Pic on the left named "Kiky". It was so tempting not to kill him. ;) RMT = Virus ............and you thought RMT was gone? Here's a New RMT Party Leveling on Odin. 2 BLM, 2 RDM, 1 RDM, and a PLD. All Anon. The 5 Tarus were all the same Model and wearing the exact same cheap ass Gear. I can honestly say......RMT are the Viral STD's of FFXI and just like a Virus they will never go away.

New Blog Header...

.....Soooooooo...I been working on a new Blog header and if you look at the top of my Blog you will see the results so far. I am looking for different opinions to help me alter it or maybe scrap it all together. So yeah.... {Input} {Can I Have It?}

Abyssea -In- Progress

.....................Not much of a Post today but, I'm gonna make a post anyway. I'm just feeling high about some in Game Progression. ......and thanks to 4 Abyysea LinkShell runs a week my Weapon/Magic Skills are recapping again. Heres the down-low on all the rest. 1) Merits ReCapped @614 2) Drk AF3+1 Head,Legs,Feet ... done 3) War AF3+1 Head, Legs,Feet ... done 4) 18/60 NM Atma's 5) 7/12 NPC Atma's Other shit: I still need a Abyysite List. I still need 1000 points to get my SCH Legs+1 made. I still need to Level my RDM from Lvl.19 to Lvl.49. I still haven't finished WotG. I still have like 5 Magian Weapons to +1! ...and .....DarkDawn won the Scythe I wanted and made me /cry. ;p

Bale Burgeonet +1 (Part-2)

........and for the real answer.... Bale: n Archaic 1. evil; injury 2. woe; suffering; pain [Old English bealu; related to Old Norse böl evil, Gothic balwa, Old High German balo] /emo........

Bale Burgeonet +1

.......................Hmmmm..... Bale Burgeonet +1 ! Wooooooooooot! H2u........ new TP Head Gear....... Old Mr. Walmart Hat now gets subjegated to be used only as a 2-8 Hit Weapon SoulEater Zerg Build. My other thoughts..... Where did SE get the term Bale from? From a cultural historic legend, lore, or myth? Hmmm..... Dark Knight...... Batman..... Christian Bale !?!?!?!?!? What do you think?

My AF3 Trials and Tribulations thus far

Chapter 1: It's god dam raining Seals! .......................I must say, the very 1st week was good to me. I spammed the Soil Quest and the Sausage Quest and completed 2 AF3+1 Legs in 3 days. I began to think, nice this is shit is easy. It's god dam raining Seals! Soon I will have all the AF3+1 that I wanted. ...but that thought quickly faded away as Quest after Quest , week after week, I was left empty handed. Translation.............This Sucks. Chapter 2: Dam you Eternalpain! .........................The 1st sign should have been obvious. 1) each Area had 5 Quests that dropped Seals for 4 different Jobs 2) none of my 5 Jobs were grouped together Translation.........................I had to do all 20 Quests for 5 Jobs. Alternate Translation....................This Sucks. Meanwhile my friend Eternalpain was able to do the same Quests for 3 of his 4 EndGame Jobs. What a lucky bastard! Dam you Eternalpain! .......................However vengence was served tasty with a side dish of GTFO once he got his 1st AF3+1 peice completed and realized none of his Jobs were Leveled high enough to use them. LMAO /snicker ...just kidding Congrats Eternalpain! Chapter 3: Stoned out of my Mind. ......................Next I managed to Level SCH to 85 and began to ReSpam the Soil Quest. However fate soon found a way toTeabagged me yet again. That's right. Even tho I had already gotten my WAR Legs.... I still had to toss 50 more versus keeping 1 Sch Leg Seal. I swear SE's must have programed their Spegetti Code to increase the Seal Drop Rate for the ones you don't need while decreasing the Rate for the ones that you do. ........................Next I began doing the DRK Feet Seal Runs. I started off being a little lucky with 1 Seal Drop from my 1st 10 tries. Then about 60 /tossed Seals from 100 Runs later....... I was still had only 1 DRK Feet Seal. You do the math. Thats 110 Runs @ 10 to 15 minutes a Run, for 1 freak'n Seal. In other words....I do not have a shit-ton of Stones to use! Unlike my lucky friend Eternalpain who has like 90+ Stones (exact number may be off). Also a majority of my Stones are consumed by doing 4 Obsidian LS Abyssea Runs a week. Translation....................Need more Stones! Alternate Translation.....................This Sucks. Chapter 4: NM's... the F'n Trump Card. .........................luckily for me I did a few NM Runs with some friends and my LinkShell Obsidian. At first I got jack shit..... but this weekend I made up for it when I almost completed 2 Head AF3+1's! Anyway here's my AF3 total recap so far: 1) DRK AF3+1 Legs completed! 2) WAR AF3+1 Legs completed! 3) WAR AF3+1 Head completed! 4) Other Seals DRK Head 5/8 DRK Feet 3/8 WAR Feet 2/8 SCH Head 2/8 SCH Legs 5/8 SCH Feet 0/8 (PLD, DRG, SAM, ..... like 1 Seal here and there I forget) Translation.............................Abyssea is god dam awesome! Alternate Translation..................Bonus Weapon Skill Points, Magic Skill Points, Atma, Abysites, Gear Drops, AF3, XP, Merits, and a shit load of fun! Alternates Alternate Translation.................This does not Suck! That's it for today, back to the grind and see ya all online! ~BAM

LOL-SCH @ 85 and Decembers Update is getting ever closer...

.............................This month I saw my SCH go from Level-30 to 85. I also snagged 14 Merits and a 42K Buffer. It felt good just to use 10 of those Merits because they were just being waisted from being Merit Capped. I also managed to Cap 4 of the my 6 SCH Magic Skills, which reminds me. I really need to update my Skills on my Blog's Sidebar to reflect that. .............................On side note, in the next few weeks I will be Leveling RDM. Now while I don't want to Level another Mage Job, I don't really have a choice. You see, I don't have a real SubJob for SCH. Why is this you ask? Well, SCH was never meant to go to 85. It was just supposed to be a SubJob for my DRK and from there it sort of just took a life of it's own. HEY! No Laughing. ..............................Other then that, I just need to finish a few Trial Of Magian last Trials for: 1) GreatAxe 2) PoleArm 3) greatSword 4) GreatKatana ....and then I need to finish my Axe and other Scythe that I am working on. After that everything will be ready for Decembers Update. ..............................OH! I almost forgot. Why are people making a wall of Bazaars across the pathway to PortJuno? Come on. These people need to stop being a bunch of assholes. I took a pic so that I can point my fingers at these assclowns in my Blog ,but I didn't send it from X-Box. I will try to get that Pic out for tommorrow. On a funny note my friend Drakus similarly complained about people doing this around the Abyssea Maws/Port Juno Abyssea NPC's. The funny part is I caught him doing it a few times while he was doing the Quest "Aqua Puraga". Snaged! LOL.

Abyssea Stone Time.

.......42 Minutes a Stone! Wooooooooooooooooooooot! That is all! ~BAM

Quest "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind" & "His Bridge, his beloved":

Quest "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind": *Requirements Abyssea Vunkerl... Inlet Fame 3+ *Starter NPC.................... Aldoverre *Drops: (Garenteed) Augmented Darkness Ring (occasionally) Pup, Rng, Rdm, Drk Feet Seals *Quest is repeatable upon Zone out/in ...................Basically to do this Quest you need to find 3 moveing ??? Spots for 3 different Key Items. The 3 ??? Can be found in the following locations and there will never be 2 up within the same Monster Area. 1) Helter-skelter (Sight/Magic Aggro Bomb Mobs) by Conflux #08. 5 Spots it can appear here. There is also 1 ??? Spot right next to Martello VK-08 @ E-8. Not sure if it shares same Pop. There's also 1 ??? Spot in the Mushrum Mob Area (Non Agressive) that does not share the same Pop. 2) Aestutaur (True Sight, small range sight Taur Mobs) by Conflux #04. 5 Spots it can appear here. 3) Peapuk (Sound/Sight Aggro Puk Mobs) by Conflux #06. 6 Spots here (1 of those is near the Devegetators Crawlers and 1 in the Rabbit Mob Area...... both of which are not in to far) Note: There is supposed to be 1 more ??? Spot outside the Conflux #00 Area. However I never seen it up nor had to use it. ..................and here's How I did this Quest: 1) Go to Conflux #8 scan the Bomb Mob Area for a ??? Spot as you run thru. 2) Flag Quest at NPC Aldoverre. 3) Head back to the Bomb Mobs and grab the ??? seen earlier then take Conflux #8 to Conflux #4. If the ??? was not there it was probably by Martello#8. In that case just walk Conflux #4 which passes Martello #8 and snag the ??? on the way. 4) Grab the ??? in the Taur Mob Area. Then take Conflux# 4 to Conflux #6. 5) Grab the ??? in the Puk Mob Area. Then take Conflux# 6 to Conflux #8. 6) Go to NPC Aldoverre, collect the Augmented Dark Earring and pray for the Seal that you needed. Then take Conflux #8 to the Maw and Zone out. Rinse and repeat. Quest "His Bridge, his beloved": ...........................While you are there you can also Flag/do the Quest that involves the Bridges, "His Bridge, his beloved". If you decide to repeat this Quest and do it at the same time as the "Scattered Sheels, Scattered Mind" Quest, you will need to farm Viscous Spittle from the Spiders here ahead of time. Please note that You can not Trade, Bazaar, or Buy the Viscous Spittle from the AH. Each run can take up to 5 Viscous Spittles. *Requirements Abyssea Vunkerl... Inlet Fame 2 *Starter NPC.................... Cheupirudaux *Drops: (1st time) Crimson Abyssite of Lenity (occasionally) Blu, Pld, Brd, Mnk Feet Seals *Quest is repeatable upon Zone out/in

Ooops again (Part-3) ;)

.................I really wish someone would make a guide for this kind of stuff. Alot of people only know bits and peices of it. Anyway Once again I was wrong. PHalanx. only takes off a amount of Damage per Damage round with the formula for the amount time the Spell is up... (Enhancing Skill/10) -2 ...................My dreams of combining a -PDT and a -MDT Capped set have gone and withered away. I now know I would need an Aegis and Mystic Sword Weapon for that. I will now keep a combined overall set and seperate -PDT and -MDT sets in my Macro Builds. Thank you to all the poeple who answered my weird ass questions and people who posted comments. It has helped me immensly. ;)

Ooops... I R Captain Caveman

...........Ooops on my last Post I used the wrong Spell. It should have been Phalanx and not Protect5. This is actually a good thing because Phalanx was just recently added to a PLD's castables. Anyway here's the skinny............Basically the acceptable formula for Phalanx is... (Enhancing skill /10) -2 ...and from what I have read the Hard Cap for Phalanx is -28% PDT, but this probably needs to be retested as RDM user's Skill has increased with Levels past 75. ...........Now that we are all level 85. A PLD can Cap the Enhancing Skill @ 260. In December when we are all Level 90 our Cap will be 285. This means if we Macro in a pair of Gallant Breeches for an additional +5 Skill we can reach 290. That also means that this December we can reach -27% PDT. (290/10)-2 = 27 (-27% PDT) This leads me back to trying to reach (in Gear) to Cap... -23% MDT -23% PDT +MDB (as much as I can get) .........now I wonder......hmmmmmmm ....what about Breath Damage.... to be continued?

Reckoning+1 True 5-hit and Shamshir+1 Damage Mitigation Build for PLD.... so easy even a caveman can do it.

Level 85 Jobs: ..................... The update was 2 weeks ago and already I have Pld, Drk,War, and Sam @ 85. Saturday I will finish up my last Job which is Drg . Then I can move on to finishing the rest of all my Trial of Magian Weapons. I still have the new Trials for GreatAxe, PoleArm, GreatKatana, and GreatSword to finish. Which still leaves Axe and a 3rd Scythe in the early stages..... Magian Weapons: Reckoning+1 : ............To get a true 5-Hit with a 528 Delay Scythe on Drk/Sam @ Lv.75 or higher, you need Store-TP +24 from Gear/Food. What makes this Scythe awesome for this type of Build is it already gives you +10 Store-TP. You can get more Store-TP by equiping a Chiv.Chain(+1), a Brutal Earring(+1), a Rajas Ring(+5), and a Rose Strap(+4) but that still leaves you short Store-TP +3. While there are plenty of ways to get that last +3, what you really want is a Goading Belt to seal the deal (Emnity+3, Haste+5, Store-TP+5). This way there are absolutly no Gear sacrafices and you can eat what ever food you want like STR / ATK Food! Shamshir+1: ............I also finished this little baby for my PLD. Currently my Defense-Set Build consists of: -22% PDT (Physical Damage Taken) -19% MDT (Magical Damage Taken) +19% MDB (Magical Damage Bonus) +20 Emnity ......................The goal here is to combine a Magical and Physical Damage Gear Build Sets into 1. I beleive this is now possible. From what I have read, MDT and PDT caps @ 50% and you can get 27% of both from a Merited Mage's, Protect5 and Shell5. This means the goal for this Build is to reach -23%PDT, -23%MDT, and stack all the MDB you can get Gear wise. I have also read that MDB does not have a Cap. ......................If anyone can correct me or has any more information on this please post a comment or a Link. Thanky. ~That's all folks. See ya all online! ~BAM

12 Hour Stone Recharge Time ~BAM

.........Yesterday began with just pure "Suck". At first I was asked to fill in for a person at work that was on vacation. Thus I had to unsign from our Abyssea Run. Of coarse my extended work day was cancelled, which translates to.... 1) No work 2) No Spot in Event 3) Not enough Stone Time anyway because I used it the day before when I had to Unsign from the run. Then on top of that... a bad storm rolled in that made me DC every 3 minutes for 3+ hours. .......At that point I was like "Fuk it" and watched some T.V. .... ...............but just then.......like the weather changing in the middle of a a Magian Weapon Trial........... my luck changed too. ....and a Crimson Abyssite of Celerity: A variety of ancient abyssite that harbors arcane powers. Renders the bearer's traverser stone more rapidly replenished. HI2U... 12 Hour Stone Recharge Time ;) ~BAM

.................Some one already has a AF3+2 Gear!

AF3 vs. Salvage Gear

................People really need to stop being cry babies/ complainers. On the one hand you have some people feeling butthurt because they put alot time/effort into Salvage and they are now crying that their Gear is now worthless. On the other hand you have people who were always sad/envious that they never had gotten any Salvage Gear so they are trying to rub it in and/ or push peoples shit in. All I got to say is..... What the Fuck is wrong with you people! Lets get the facts straight, shall we? 1) Salvage Was and is an awesome Event.... but after 2+ years you kind of get burnt out on it, just like everything else. 2) Salvage Gear Is still awesome and will remain so... untill we get all the AF3+2 pieces bitches. ~BAM 3) Let's not forget Theres also a good possibility that we will also be able to Magian Trial the Salvage Gear in the next update or so. If not, no biggie it was awesome run. No sense in killing a great game because of stagnancy. This is FFXI. You don't like it then GTFO mah Game! LOL

I'm Ready!

Bring it on....I'm Ready! .............................YES! This will definetly be the last time that I am posting this type of crap for a while. Atleast........ till the December Update anyway!

Happens like 2-3 times on month. /em rubs the Electrohock pads together then puts them on the XBOX Jess>> "CLEAR !" It's alive! ~BAM

Maybe New Dark ABsorb Spells that Boosts your whole Party. Remeber you read it here 1st! (Yes, go read it again, it says Enhancement Spells not Enhancement Skill Spells)

Jess the MPK'er

The Story: ..............So there I was. It was Sunday and I had the day off. I had decided to change to WAR so that I could nock off more Magian Trial GA goodness. The only question on my mind was...... where too? Where could I go and to find some nice EasyPrey Beasts. Particularly ones that I could relentlesly kill with out resting, competing for Kills, and /Subing SAM. /Light Bulb Lynx @ M.Mountains[S]. Ahhh.... Never mind. They are TooWeak. /Light Bulb Couerl @ Temple of Ugly's. I'll check it out... /em zones into Temple of Ugly. ..............As soon as I zoned in I made a quick left and then that other left thru a closed door. There was like 4 Couerls. I quickly dispatched those with no hassle. Then I remebered. Dungeon Areas ReSpawns are long as hell. I will definetly need a new Area if I am going to get this last Trial completed.So as I was about to Zone a NM Couerl Pop'd. I fiqured hey....I'm right next to the zone line let me Pull him. If it is to tough for me currently Sub SAM, then I can just Zone it. ..............Meanwhile there was this Level 59 DRG named Reinex (not 100% on that spelling) /Shouting for help for his DRG AF. I thought it was kind of weird because there was only 3 people in the entire Zone. That's counting him and me. Anyway back to the NM that I just pull'd by the way. ..............You know those times when Third Eye/Seigen never want to stay up? Yea.... it was one of those times. That is why I fought it at the Zone Line. As I Zoned I noticed Mr. DRG was resting. /Sign. So I immediately Zoned back in.... to.... I don't know... maybe Provoke it off him and Zone it to the other Zone Line or something.... but he already he had Zoned. Once I seen he was OK , I left the Area. That's when the /Tells started. Reinex>> MPK'er Before I go on I just want to say this guy comes off as a Newb. I am not trying to be an Elitist here ,but this person simply mean lacks some pretty basic knowledge one can get from in game experiences. Like Shouting in the Area you need your AF without Scanning how many people are in the Zone or the difference between someone Zoning a NM versus a regular Mob. Anyway so I replied back. Jess>> No. Jess>> You were resting @ the Zone line. Jess>> That's how the ingame Mechanics work when you Zone a NM. Reinex>> I am calling GM Jess>> Please call a GM. This way a GM can explain the Game Mechanics to you too. Jess>> Please don't /Tell me again. Now I debated whether I should just Blist this guy already but I waited. I mean I did Zone the NM but nothing bad had happened. He was just being an ass now. Reinex>> Ok.I GM was reported of your crime Yes he typed it like that. Well I guess my typing ingame is normally worse. heh. I'm no English major either. /Blist add Reinex The End Result: ................Nothing happened. I just relocated to much better spot, Jugner Forest[S] and killed Smilodons with their fast as hell ReSpawns and nice lttle Pixie wondering around Curing me. Definitely a much better spot. The ReCap: ................While Yes I did Zone the NM while Reinix was at the Zone. I did not know he was there Resting. I was fighting the NM like 10 feet away around a corner and not Zoning it from across the Mason Dixie Line. There is a big difference from Zoning a NM like I did and Zoning a NM to MPK someone on purpose. I also want to note that I did Zone back in to try and help him. The truth is I don't think it even hit him. There simply was no need for him to act that way and even tho I did feel like telling him off... I held back. ................This however is my Blog bitches and I get to say what ever I want. ................In the words of my friend Qtipus..... Hey Reinex....

Magian Trial Weapons...progression (Part-1)

................Love it or hate it...the Magians Trials are here to stay. They make any AH and NM Drop Weapons obsolete (yes Hagun to). This means you should already have completed a few of them. However, some people... actually alot of people.... are quite turned off by the Elemental Trials. Well then don't do 'em. If they seem to hard and tideous for you then try one of the new Level-80 Weapons. They are just as good, way faster to complete, and definetly the easiest Trials to do. ................Here's my personal Progress so far... *Scythe #1 ...........Fin *Scythe #2 ..........Fin *GreatSword........Fin *GreatKataba.......Fin *PolArm ..............Fin *Sword .................(on 2nd trial) *Axe .....................(on 2nd trial) *Axe .....................(not started) *GreatAxe ...........(on 4th trial) *Scythe #3 ..........(on 2nd trial) Scythe: 1) Ultimatium. Basically this weapon I wanted to be a maximum Damage 6-Hiter. My choices here were a DMG:109 SpiralHell+10%, DMG:106 STR+6 ATK+20, DMG:113, and a non Magian Trial Scythe DMG:106 (w/Darkness Damage). I Ultimately choose the Emperial Weapon w/DMG:113. However, thanks to SE (yay...can you say bottleneck), I had to stop on the last Trial needing 50 drops from Abyssea. This left my Scythe at DMG:107. 2) Reckoning. This was a no brainer. This Weapon allows me to have a 5-Hit Scythe Build without sacraficing any of the ACC/Haste from my oiriginal 6-Hit Build. As new Gear comes available this Build will only improve in time. GreatSword: 1) Kalavegs. This choice seemed rather easy to. The drop in this weapons delay compared to say an Algol GreatSword ruined the chance of any better X-Hit Build. Thus I instead choose the Higher Damage Weapon. GreatKatana: 1) Keitinotachi. Here I went with the the obvious choice for SAM.... Store-Tp. Yes, I know my SAM does not yet have an effecient 5-Hit Build, but I definetly will down the road. PoleArm: 1) StingRay. This one was another one of those Store-TP Versus higher Damage decisions. I choose the higher Damage Weapon because I cannot make a true 5-Hit Build......well atleast not yet. However If down the road this situation changes then I will simply toss this weapon and remake it. ............That's it for today in a few weeks I will add GreatAxe, Axe (x2), and a Sword or two as I complete those to. See you all online!~BAM

BrightHanded Kunberry, Odin, and War Relic+1 ... Oh my!

Resentment Cape: ...............This weekend I turtured the Bright Handed Kunberry a few more times. ...............On Friday 2:18 AM, he Pop'd and no Drop. ...............On Saturday 11:20'ish AM, my friend Rudi tagged along with me. Bright Handed Kunberry Pop'd and I pulled him to the side to avoid any Linkage and then... *Sekkanoki *Guilotine 1563 *Insurgency 1757 *Compression SkillChain 447 *Drain II Magic Burst 337 At this point He had less the 1% HP left and he freak'n 2-Hour'd Perfect Dodge, but hey no biggy... *Drain 189 The Bright Handed Kunberry falls to the ground. ...and of coarse...No Drop. .................On Sunday I finaly got the Drop putting me @ 1/8. While I was there I also snag'd me a Ugy Temple Map. Collosus Cape: .................On Saturday I went with a few LinkShell friends, snagged this and an Odin Summons. Dynamis: .................LolWarRelicLegs +1 completed. This puts me @ 3/5 War Relic +1. This Will go nicely with my full AF+1 War Set. LMAO! Hey! I said no laughing! PLD: ..................This week...I took this Job from 75 to 77. SAM: ..................I then took this Job from 75 to 79. 20K more Experience Points and I will start to work on my Magian GreatKatana while Capping the Buffer at the same time. Odin: .................All I can say is.....M.Legs Drop'd and Kreoss won the Lot. He however Zoned for some reason and they went to me anyway. That puts me at 3/5 for the Set. Thanks Kreoss! .................By the way.... I also had to Tank Odin on PLD. This was my first EndGame Event as a PLD Tank. It sure didn't help any that my Shield Skill was @ 209 and my Sword Skill was @ 265. *Jess is defeated by Odin. *Jess falls to the ground. *Jess's Shield Skill raises .5 Points. *Jess's Shield Skill is now 210. Anyway... thanks Mav for doing all the work! That's it for today. See ya all online! ~BAM

A Trial of Magians Rant

..............Please. For the love of God. STOP /CRYING ABOUT THE WEATHER TRIALS! ..............What the hell do you want? You want the shit just handed to you on a silver platter? You're playing a God Dam MMORPG for fucks sakes. Everything in this game equals a timesink! If the Weather Trials are just to much stress for you to handle, then choose a different Trial path. ..............First of all, if you think the Weather Trials are that freak'n bad, then go try ask'n Qtipus how much fun it is doing his Relic Polearm Trials (1500 Arcane Mob Relic WeaponSkill Kills). Between his WeaponSkill ocasionaly wiffing, or under shooting the Kill Damage, or his Wyvern killing the Mob...... he will probably end up doing more like 3000 Kills. Of coarse there are always other options for you. ..............Have you tried the new level 80 Trial Weapons? You can complete most of them anywhere from one day to a week tops. Most of them are really good too. ..............Have you tried FF14 yet? Please log out of FFXI now and go try the Beta. I heard they have a Whinners Guild over there for the casual Gamers who like to play every Game on Easy Mode and poop in their pants. ...............End Rant! ;) ~BAM

InGame Progress

1) Drk @ 80 with capped Buffer 2) Scythe ReCapped @ 322 3) Drk Relic Legs +1 aquired..... now @ 3/5 4) War Relic Feet +1 aquired now @ 2/5 5) Sam Relic Head +1 aquired now @ 2/5 6) Pld Relic Head aquired now @ 3/5 7) Seigneur Shield aquired (DEF+25, Light+20, MDB+5) 8) Ultimatuim Magian Weapon Trials @ 11/12 (DMG+107) (My 6-Hit Scythe) 9) Reckoning Magian Weapon Trials @ completed 4/4 (DMG+105, Store-Tp+7) (My 5-Hit Scythe) 10) GreatSword Magian Weapon Trials @ 3/4

Drk Solo 3way Light with a Scythe!

...............................If your already a Drk/Sam @ Lvl-80 then by now you are already enjoying Self SkillChaining with the Job ABility Sekkanoki:. Example: Guilotine --> Insurgency = Compression (Some of us Drks could already do this before the Level Increase) However with Sekkanoki you can now Solo Light with 3 Weapons SKills on a Scythe! This requires an Icarus Wing so your best bet to test this out is in Campaigne . There you can get as many Icarus Wings as you want from an NPC with Allied Notes with no Medication Effect. This can also be done without an Icarus Wing but it is much harder to pull off. Anyway here's the SkillChain Order: Guilitine--> Shadow Of Death--> Insurgency = Light Have fun. ~BAM

The Three Essential Scythes for Non-Apocc Darks.

Bahumuts Zagnel: (30 Second Zerg Weapon) ..............SO you don't have a Kraken Club and you're like fuck those Ridell and Mercurial Kris toot'n bitches. Your a regular ole' Scythe lovin DRK. Well then the Bahumuts Zagnel was taylor made just for you. If your LS does not do the BC that drops this. Then go farm some Cloud Evokers from the ENM "Sheep in Antlions Clothing" and make a deal with one of your friends who's LinkShell does. Ultimatium: (/Nin /Thf /War Weapon) ..............Thanks to some assistance from our Obsidian LinkShell friends. Kreoss, Manders, and I have succesfully completed the newest Ultimatium Trial on Sunday. Thus turning our Scythes from 105 into 107 DMG Weapons. ..............Next we each need to collect 30 specific Drops from Walk Of Echoes and/or Abyssea to complete the last available Trial which turns them into Emperial Weapons sporting 113 DMG. Who knows how long that will freak'n take /sign. However completing this last Trial will change the Delay on the Weapon from 528 to 502. This permantly destroys any future possibility of a "working" 5-Hit Build. Luckily I have a solution. I will keep this as my regular 6-Hit Weapon and work on a secondary Weapon 5-Hit Weapon. Unfortunetly the Ultimatium was alot of hard work and I really don't want to do it twice /Sign. but looky what I just found..... Reckoning: (/Sam Weapon) ..............Wow how the hell did I miss this from the Update. All new Magian Trial Weapons that start @ Lvl-80 instead of Lvl-75. This Reckoning Scythe is perfect. On top of 105 DMG, the needed 528 Delay, it also has Store TP+7. That's Freak'n Awesome! This will allow the use ACC food instead of Carbanara for a 5-Hit Build! This means I can Cap ACC, while using max available Haste Gear, and still have a 105 DMG Weapon. ~BAM! ...But that's not all.... .............. it get's even better. This Weapon only has 4 Trials not 10 like Ultimatium and they are easy as hell. I already did Trial# 1503 this morning before work in 45 Minutes. Basically everytime you use the specified Weapon Skill you get a point! I was getting 3-4 points per mob! 1) Trial# 1503: 100, Exp giving, Any Mob Type (NightMare Scythe) 2) Trial# 1504: 200, Exp giving, Any Mob Type (Spinning Scythe) 3) Trial# 1505: 300, Exp giving, Vermin Mob Type (Vorpal Scythe) 4) Trial# 1507: 800, Exp giving, Aquian Mob Type (any Weapon Skill) That is all for today. See you Online! ~BAM

I fiqured this way I can Main-Hand the "Atonement" Sword, Sub the "Trial of Magian" Sword, and at the same time build up a PLD Buffer. ~BAM ..................Anyway when all is said and done, I will need to earn some PLD endgame Skills.

Here's a tally on my Loot whore'ng so far: Aepis Earing Aepis Torque Colossus Earing Alexander Summons .................Now I just need to do Odin two more times for a Aepis Mantle and an Odin Summon. Einherjar: ..................Speaking about Odin we did another Odin Run on Tuesday. Of our 5 drops I netted a LOL-E.Hands. That would have completed my Adaman Set but I Drop'd the Lol-E.Feet and Lol-E.Head years ago. I guess I'll just have to reget them from an Obsidian Sky Run. ..................I was also one of three people who could lot on the W.Body Drop. That too would have completed another Set of mine but instead I opted to pass my Lotting Chance to Mav. Mav lotted a big ol' 367 and now he gets to hear me everyday.... Jess>> Mav remember that day I passed that W.ABj. to you. MWHAHHAHHAHHAA!!! .....that's how I roll bitches! Nyzul Isle: ....................The tale of the tape: Before the Run: Lect>> I'm lotting mage pants ^^ Floor 40: ....................The Boss dies and we get a Drop.... Askar Legs WOOOOOOOOOT! Now I get excited. I know that even tho I am only the Static Fill-In Player here the rules are that everyone gets to earn their first Drop..... and I'm the only one without one... 4 people pass... Jess Lots 587 on the Askir Dirs. Jess waits for Lect to pass..... (nothing happens for like a looong ass minute) Lect lots 846 on the Askir Dirs. Lect gets a pair of Askir Dirs. .....................um....errr..yeah.....so I confur with Rudi. Yes those were supposed to go to me as my 1st Drop. Yes Lect said Mage Pants at the start of the Run and not Askir Pants. So what happened? .....................Aparently LOL-Lect had a brain fart and apologized he LOL-Accidently-NinjaLotted mah Pants..... but you know what? They will Drop again and poor ol' Lect needs Gear way more then I do. I remember how shity I felt when I did that to RingThree on a Skadi 25 Head once but hey this shit happens. Lets face it they were Askir Dirs not a Byakko's Haidate. .....................Besides while Lect gets the Askir Dirs.....I get a super awesome new Blog Post Title and I get to say LOL-Lect as many times as I want.

April Fools

............The internet sucks on April Fools day.

Beans

Merits: ...........Saturday I completely finishing my Merits putting me @ 469/469. This means I can only store 10 more Merits before I am actually waisting XP. That also means no more Campaigne for me untill the June Version Update. I think it's time for me to finish up that SCH Sub or maybe getting PLD to 75. Campaigne: ............Later that night I also unlocked the very last AN Medal, the "Medal of Alanta 4". I then quickly Flee'd to Bastok and snag'd that new Forth Mantle @ 75,000 AN. This will be used for my SAM/DNC Soboro Campaigne-TP Build and on my DRK 5-Hit Scythe Build. Which brings me to.... True 5-Hit Scythe Build (20TP per Swing): .............With my aquisition of the Fourth Mantle I can slightly altar my Store-TP Gear in my 5-Hit Scythe Build which frees up one of the my Ring Slots for either an Iota Ring (ACC) or Blitz Ring (Haste+1): Rose Grip +4 Store-TP Askar Body +5 Store-TP Chiv. Chain +1 Store-TP Brutal Ear. +1 Store-TP Rajas RIng +5 Store-TP 4th Mantle +2 Store-TP (Carbanara) +6 Store-TP Basically to make a Scythe 5-Hit Build on DRK you need: 1) +24 Store-Tp from Gear and Food 2) /SAM 3) a 528 Delay Scythe ..............The main problem with this build is you loose out on Cap'd ACC versus higer Level/Evasion Mobs. This makes the Build only good for lower Tier'd LinkShell Events. This is mainly why I never use it. However, with the possible future release of new Gears from upcoming Version Updates this Build may become Viable. .............If you are looking for more information on this type of Build. There is a Allakazham Store-Tp Guide someone posted but it is not 100% accurate. Someone also Linked it on the BG Forums. NIN Sub: ..............While I did manage to get my /NIN from Level-37 to Level-49 the other week. I was still missing 1 Spell the Hojo: Ni Scroll. Instead of buying it from the AH I did attempt to Farm it from the Tonberry NM and the regular Tonberries but they were being stingy bastards. I finaly gave in and tried to snag it from the AH. Of course everytime one was AH'd it was sold immediately. Luckily I managed to snag one for about 50K but it took 2 whole weeks of scanning the AH. With the that note my /NIN is finally completed. Like my friend Glacian always says... Glacian>> Back in the Box you go! Kraken Club: ...............Dam! My friend EternalPain got the Kraken Club Drop and quickly sold it for 44 Million Gil! ~Nuff said BUB! Odin#1: ...............Odin won. /em shakes his fist vengefully in the air at Odin. Alex: ...............Alex got his shit pushed in! It was like a 3 minute Prep/Buff and took about a minute to kick his ass. Since there was nothing really that I could use I just choose the Alexander Summon. Odin#2: ...............We won!. Kreoss and I died first with his M.Kris and my Bahumet Zagnel. The rest of the Team pulled out all the stops for the win. I choose a Torque to replace my Dark Torque. I definetly could use a few more items from this fight so I'll be back Mr. Odin! /em wrenches his fist in the air at Odin rightiously. Ashu Talif BC#1: ................I decided to do this set of BC's with some of my friends and we beat the Tier-1 BC fairly easily. While we did lose the 2nd BC we did learn from it and only had 5 people anyway. Soon we will be farming that third BC! I can feel it. .......as always see ya Online! ~BAM
