OK, so yeah. I found out about the option to advertise on my blog (as few readers as it has...) and couldn't resist the opportunity to make some cash. If this blog ever gets readers, if the ads get in your way... let me know. I'll take em out.
Anyways, on to the actual updates.
*cough*
Zenith Mitts, (Found it!)
Fucking awesome.
Radiant Lance is now at 525 points out of the 10880 I need to unlock Drakesbane. And I figured it out how to knock it down to 20 "sessions" of breaking. 544 points per session. That means, as of right now, I'm like... 5% done with it, and I haven't even done any hardcore WS sessions on it, just partying and Sky.
Oh, and more on Sky. Not only did I get my A. Hands Abjuration for the mitts of pwn, I was a whopping 4 points away from highest lot on a pair of Byakko's Haidate...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Well, either way. Congratulations to Kakkarot for his shiny new Haste pants for his just-recently-dinged Samurai 75...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ACP11...
Done. Done. Done...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1/8 on the son of a bitch, and we won it with a SMN strategy. 3xSMN, RDM, BLU/DRK (who took a while to get accustomed to stunning) and WHM.
Seeing as I only have one of those leveled... I was RDM. Yeah. Sup Refresh ho. 6 Refreshes, WHM took care of hasting the BLU.
Oh, by the way, this was with my sky/social shell. Makare (Kristi2) was WHM, we had Zac, Greenpower and one of Green's friends as our SMNs and Junglebrotha was the BLU. You guys fucking rock!

Quick one~
0/7 on A Crystalline Prophecy finale. Fucking hate that piece of shit crystal. Apparently a capped Archery SAM/RNG with about +40 Ranged Accuracy will constantly miss the fucker.

Wheeeeeee
Dragoon 75, bitches!
So, that makes 4. \o/ Only, like.. 12 more to go. 16 jobs, but I'll never fucking touch four of them (BRD, COR, PUP, BST).
Angon, unlocked, had 3 merits literally stored away to unlock that. And I've been working on my Shikikoyo recast, too. Been able to put 3 upgrades into that, to put it at a recast of 7.5 minutes, half of the default 15. One more upgrade (5 merits) and that'll be done! Yay! More WS whoring.
So. Drama update... I rejoined my Sky LS after the Kirin debacle, am now an officer in charge of keeping track of drops and pops. Then, damn near quit after one of the co-leaders decided her WHM needed Zenith Mitts more than my BLM.
Bahahahahahahahahahahaha....
That's fuckin' rich, eh? She swore up and down she would have passed had they not dropped to her so fast, but apparently 5 minutes is not long enough for someone to pass.
Whatever.
So, I'm on a break from Sky. They have a Kirin burn Wednesday. Pretty sure they don't have the manpower to burn Kirin down quickly enough without my SAM there. Or DRG (Angon!). Or, hell, even BLM (NEWK). We shall see.
Oh, and Kristi's out of town. She wants me to log on to her character should the Shura Togi Abj. drop again and lot for her.
>_>;;
I told her flat out if anything I want drops, that will take priority and she probably won't come home to see a Togi in her inventory.

... I sense a pattern.
So. I think I'm just flat out done with Dynamis. Too many selfish, self-important, holier than thou cockpouches out there. Zac and I quit DynamisLordsII because the attendance officer/strategy officer/arrogant twat Voicememo is apparently omniscient and knows EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT DYNAMIS, ESPECIALLY TREASURE HUNTER.
Oh, did I mention he's a BRD?
Go figure, a BRD that thinks they know everything.
So, Zac brings it up in LS chat as we're getting started in Dynamis-Windy that THFs don't need to melee stones more than once, to get on the hate list. That's all TH needs, too, at least according to the Wiki. Voicememo, being the God-figure he is, says that "They're fine, the more hate they have, the higher the drop rate goes. And I'm not changing something we've been doing for 6 years, I have 6 years experience in Dynamis, etc, etc."
k.
So, Zac looks it up, on the Wiki. I know, Wiki can be unreliable with some things due purely to its nature as a website anyone can edit, but there has been extensive testing and it has been damn near proven that "More hate =\= more drops". Here's the quote from the Wiki page on TH, just for shits:
"Treasure Hunter is not affected by amount of damage, "luck" items, or who makes the "killshot", nor does it have any effect on chests, coffers, or caskets (including those in battlefields)."
Not affected by damage. Which, damage = hate. Not affected by hate.
Zac brings this up to VM in tells, and is told essentially that he is wrong because VM is right. That was about the argument. I can't be arsed to get the actual argument, but needless to say, Zac was rightfully pissed off that the twat wouldn't listen. So he leaves the shell.
k.
About 2 pulls later, VM decides to start trash-talking Zac in LS chat, saying something along the lines of "That guy knows nothing, and he brought nothing to LS at all."
Nope, sorry. Done. I say, rather politely, given he's just shitting all over Zac behind his back, to kindly STFU. I get told to either wait till the run is over or bring it to PMs and to not pollute the LS chat with my "worthless complaints".
See ya, DL2.
So, I /tell Fredjan, the REAL leader of the shell, that maybe he should tell his officers to get the spiked dicks out of their collective asses and maybe people wouldn't have a problem with them.
On a plus side, Mondays and Thursdays just freed up. Yay, I can watch Heroes and go to sky...?

Fugly hat, get!
OK, so... updates.
Ding, Dragoon 72 (fwee, Dusk Gloves and 3 levels to go)
Ding, new social LS (the others are boring 3/4 of the time)
Fugly hat, get! (Optical Hat)
Nothing too exciting with the first two, really. The last one though... took fucking forever. Stumbled into a /shout group to get a few people their Ohats, offered to come as BLM, even though I have no buffer on BLM. Well, turns out I didn't really need it. What I needed most was about... Oh, 6 fucking hours to get 7 hats.
The initial group had 5 pops, and 7 people, we got down to Hakutaku's spawn area and cleared everything out, popped him and killed him in roughly 35 minutes. Not bad, considering how low we were on DDs (the heaviest physical DD we had was a BLU, but we had a SMN as well). Absolutely no problem at all. 2 pops in, the leader and a couple other people had to go for Salvage, but they swore up and down they would come back afterward to help everyone else get their hats. K. S'cool. Total time: 35 minutes each for 2 kills, 15 minute wait in between. 85 minutes total.
2 hours later (Which isn't counting in my 6 hours, btw) we gather everyone back together... except the NIN/DRK tank. Great. We go back down, and my parents call me to come pick them up. Goddamnit.
1 hour later (Still not counting this), I get home to see that more people dropped out, but we have people to replace them. Yay. I get told to wait at the paintbrush door for a BLU who's coming out to help out. No big deal. Total time: 15 minutes waiting. 100 minutes total (Could've done Salvage in this time).
We get going, kill the adds, pop Hakutaku again, kill him in 15 minutes (the first BLU had switched to WAR and we got another NIN/DRK tank), no deaths and went even smoother. Twice over. Fucking awesome. Total time: 10 minutes to kill the adds, 30 for Haku, 15 minute wait. 150 minutes total.
This is when the solo-healing RDM (We had two) decides to pass the fuck out. Apparently, he'd been drinking all night. Oh, and the NIN? DCs.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. /sarcasm. Zac gets a RDM from his new social (and my new social) to come down and help, and the PLD we had off-tanking gets a THF and DRG friend to come help. RDM shows up, no real problems, about 20 minutes of waiting. Not bad, considering that's only 5 minutes more than it takes for the damn ??? to repop. We decide to wait for the DRG and THF to show up, since the DRG does have his own paintbrush to open the door. Slight problem. He's Galka and too fucking stupid to know how to USE the paintbrush to open the goddamn door. No, seriously. We had to tell him how. Not only that, but after 20 minutes of him dicking around, he finally gave up and Zac and I had to fucking warp out to get them past the door. Total time: 65 minutes, including getting through the temple and Den with the Galka and THF. 215 minutes total.
We *finally* get back down to camp, the group clears the adds as we're on the way back down. This is my pop, by the way. I sit near the ???, waiting for the Galka to show up. Oh, yeah, he didn't want to stay with me, Zac and the THF. Apparently he also didn't know the way to Hakutaku. Insert taking wrong turns here, here, here and there. 15 minute delay. He finally gets to camp, I pop Haku and run back. Total time: 15 minutes waiting for dumbass. 230 minutes total, nearly 4 hours total, and we've only popped 4 Hakus out of 7.
The fight goes... bad. Really bad. As in the tank couldn't keep any sort of hate, even with the THF TA'ing him constantly. The SAM also didn't know how to control her hate and bit the dust twice. Insert clusterfuck of death and dismemberment (and lots of burning), considering the RDM thought she could enfeeble Hakutaku and therefore, ran out of MP about midway through the fight, after already using Convert. The two SMNs we had (Who will be the only two I mention by name in this post, thank you Zac and Burnsie!) ended up main healing AND DDing for about 50% of my pop. Given the circumstances, I'm surprised we kept going after this, but everyone was bound and determined to get everyone their hat. Total time: 50 minutes to kill my pop. 265 minutes total.
Insert resting up, party switching and general BSing here for 15 minutes while we wait for the ??? to repop. Start killing the adds about 10 minutes in, Burnsie gets ready to go pop, and does so. Fight goes INFINITELY smoother, with the SAME DAMN PEOPLE. What the fuck. Maybe the tank learned he needed to keep hate better? And the RDM didn't even try to enfeeb Haku this time, so my advice got through. Killed him in 25 minutes. Total time: 15 minute wait, 25 minute kill time. 305 minutes total.
Final pop, also happens to be Zac's. Insert BSing and distributing lootz to the people who came purely to help (I sometimes hate being so generous. I gave away a scroll of Flare knowing full well it goes for roughly 200k, though the RDM would have had a pop had the crafter not shattered it.) and giving the RDM a Vile Elixir +1 that dropped off Haku to use mid-fight if she needed it. Well, she did, but the fight still went extremely smooth. Everyone 2houred, since we knew it was the last damned pop. Insert celebration, thank yous, and D2s all around. Total time: Another 15 minute wait, 25 minute kill time. 345 minutes total.
345 minutes. 7 hats. That's 5 hours, 45 minutes. For something that should take MAYBE a half hour-45 minutes per round.
Ugh.
But, special thanks have to go to Burnsie, for all the work he/she did to keep the group together to get EVERYONE a hat.
I think we're one of the only groups to do that... ever. At least, a pickup group. :D

Fail Glacier is fail
OK, so just got outa Dynamis - Beaucedine with DynamisLordsII.
My reaction: Meh.
Got the closest I've gotten to a Glacier win, but didn't get it. Reason? THF's macro fucked up as he was pulling the mega boss. So he got raped by a very pissed off eye and his dragon bodyguards. Oh, and those dragons? They have ZONE HATE. Which means, you even exist in the zone, they will eat you. Yeah. The 24 people we had in Beaucedine died very, very quickly with 4 pissed off dragons on them. MAYBE 10 minutes away from the win. If even that.
Fail.
Oh, and 2 Duelist's Tabards dropped. First one was reserved after some dickhead changed his seacom RIGHT before they were taken down for attendance. This was after he had asked and decided which he'd go after, BLM or RDM. I said BLM, knowing I already had the piece, and it being the most useful (my opinion). He originally had his comment as BLM, just normal request. After this, he changed it last minute to reserving RDM. Fucking dick.
Second one drops, me and a WHM are normal seacom'ing it... I lot a 370. Fuck. She lots a 378.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Well. At least I had a chance at the relic. Zac's SMN Doublet didn't even drop. /comfort.
Fail.

Bye, bye, Sky.
Don't think I'll be going back any time soon, unless someone damn near promises me a fucking KO, Kitty Pants and the like the SECOND the shit fucking drops.
So... rhetorical question for my... one? reader.
What happens when you wait around 3.5 hours for a 10 minute fight, only to have the only thing of any worth drop to a complete stranger the group picks up off the street?
I quit. My sister quits.
Members getting FUCKED out of shit like that after waiting with their thumbs up their asses by some lucky little fucknut who the shell won't be seeing again. That is exactly why I adamantly refuse to have any part of anything even remotely related to endgame material if there is any hint of that sort of BULLSHIT.
The sad part is, I like the shell. So did Kristi. Just that sort of shit really bugs the fuck out of us. And I wasn't even the person who got outlotted. It was Kristi. I honestly wouldn't have cared so much if it was me, and when she got outlotted by another member, it was just fine. It was this fucking WHITE MAGE of all people, can't even wear the piece that we knew of, but he still got the fucking abjuration. Oh, btw, it was the Dryadic Body. A Shura Togi. The best body piece a MNK like my sister can possibly get.
Fucking hate people.
