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
