You Know Its Game Over....

...when you see something like this happen to an unsuspecting player:




And no, I had nothing to do with this but I did hear word that this occurred on the Fenrir server. Anyways, I really don't think we'll be seeing this guy ever again and hopefully he doesn't commit suicide over this ><

OMG OMG OMG

Had an epic Xarcabard run last night. At first drops were on the low side and everyone got disappointed when lolBST hands dropped, but we kept going and thankfully everyone was able to pull through that run. Fortunately for us, we managed to kill Dynamis Lord again and low and behold he dropped the Shadow Ring. It was between Korremar and me to get it and guess who won it? ^_^ After DL we picked up some really good pieces, thf hands, rdm hat and blm hat. Alot of people were happy that day.


I was so fanatic last night when I got the ring so I went out and abused the sucker at one of the Colibri camps on blm/rdm nuking myself to test out the proc rate. I gotta say that this is a very powerful piece overall and is something that will motivate me to finish up PLD to 75 and merit it. Like everyone says, it procs every 25% for magic nullification, so if you put it into perspective, its like a double attack proc for jobs using /war with a brutal earring and a pole grip. I got a chance to notice the magic defense bonus from the ring as well during darksday and I can safely say that its hovering around +10 mdb. I'll try and get my trial data on here when I get the time. 3 big time advantages I see using this ring is for Citadel Buster Ultima, Kirin (straight tanking), and ZNMs on the tier III and higher mobs.


Overall I'm playing the waiting game on most of my other items. I'm still waiting for most of the people to get their homam legs out of the way before I jump in cause you know I don't wanna burst their bubble or anything. I am thinking of collecting rdm pieces too, but again, more and more people lining up for that so I'm waiting there too lol. The only thing that I think I should be working on at the moment is simply finishing up Captain's rank and focusing on Nyzule gear. Askar body combined with a few other ZNM pieces will seriously pimp out my warrior to a very respectable level.


Anyways, thats it for now, really excited for other stuff coming up: Sea, ZNMs, and Salvage^^

@-@

Holy crap its been a while since I last updated lol. Well, so far in the past month school kinda took a toll on my time and on top of the events both ingame and RL stuff, I haven't nearly had any personal time to myself over the past few weeks >< In any case, alot has happened and theres alot that needs to be said.


First off, EpicDestiny sky ended which means FREEDOM for like 2 weeks from sky. I can't tell you enough, I feel really burned out from that event not just from doing the basic stuff but studying for my quizzes and tests while playing at the same time. Now that Tuesday and Friday nights are wide open again, I have a peace of mind right now just to focus on one thing at a time. I know most people are still needing items from sky though and I can't blame them. That stuff I know Skeletor will be on top of in Legends and he's making a cool system out of it like how ZNMs are set up: get your pop items, linkshell kills it for you, you get 1 drop, rest goes ffa to the other members while the LS takes the seal for kirin. That makes it almost 5-10 times easier for people to obtain their Byakko Haidates quickly (assuming they got an awesome rdm helping them hehe). As for Kirin items, I *think* Skeletor is gonna make a mercenary listing out of it, so attending most god fights will give you a very good shot at getting osodes, n. body and w. legs. Again, not too sure cause everyone is focused on their break now before touching sky in the next few weeks.


EpicDestiny is taking a radical turn now to other particular events that I'm really excited about. First of all, the Sea Branch is coming up on February and Chronicles volunteered to take the reigns along with a few others. I think he has garnered the support of quite a number of very highly skilled players so I'm really interested how thats gonna turn out. I for one am joining him on this venture (hopefully to obtain an earring or two lol). Another small but noticeable event coming up is a ZNM organization happening in the social linkshell. I'm not sure when thats gonna be shooting out to be a solidified event, but everyone is starting to focus on that gear more than ever. I'll be taking a look into the progress of this event whenever I get the time.


Another big thing going on is the shift to Salvage for this linkshell. My static (Skele, Ela, Johnny, Nici, Korr) has hit Tier 6 now, so we're about 2-3 weeks away from obtaining Captain's Rank. I can safely say after that the static will disband while the majority of us will help other people obtain at least tier 6-8 on their assault rankups. I know Skeletor will be focusing on Nyzule for people with his two characters. That along with the core crew in our other events makes up the heart of our main Salvage crew. The great thing about it is that we are all leveling, gearing, and meriting the right jobs and all of us has done salvage long enough to know what to expect out of it. As far as I know, the launch date for it is the first week of March, which gives everyone about 3 weeks to play catchup with their assault points to really settle into the Salvage crew.


Speaking of which, I have made a great deal of progress to alot of my jobs ^^ A few months ago Skeletor and I made a bet against each other to see who can reach Maat's cap first. Skeletor at first had a disadvantage cause I was already ahead of him on pretty much all the Maat jobs at the time I made the bet. But since then, he has risen every single Maat job to a competetive level so I gotta kick into gear so I won't lose the bet lol. Anyways, I took up rdm, sam and drk again and am progressing extremely rapidly due level sync. If I can predict this correctly, all three of those jobs should be hitting the 70s to 75 by the end of Feb. This leaves me with SMN, BST and RNG which will really test my ability during the march/april time. All in all, I think Skeletor is in the same boat as I am, but I tell the truth losing this bet will be huge blow to me in the end lol.


Last thing before I end the post, I really want to say thank you to Kazoku for being so nice to me on my recent 2 items, the Koga Sarashi and the koga tekko -1. They've gone through alot and I'm very glad to see them getting to a point where Dynamis can be engaging, fun and most importantly non-stressful. All the leaders have put in a great deal of effort (with or without my intervention) and have exceeded even my own limitations to making this shell as it is right now. Again, I wanna say thank you to everyone for making things better than I ever dreamed it to be.
