Come one, come all. Join the Tarutaru scooping line in Rabao.



Tarutaru as so short they drown when scooping.



Death of a Beastmaster.

Don't cry for me, all you Tarutarus!

I've decided, even with paragraphs, just straight text is difficult to read, especially if it's a long post. So I'll try to intersperse pictures as best as I can.

I continue to die as a Beastmaster. Partly it's because I'm watching TV and not concentrating on possible links. Secondly I think I'm overhunting. I tried to charm T to fight T and it uncharms midway through the fight. That equals a dead tarutaru. So I spent much of the day eating dirt (see below). Leveled up to 19 though, one more then I can choco from a crag and do some OP. It's supposed to get better after Leave at 35. We'll see.



Today we took on Titan Prime. This time our set up was RDM/NIN, BLM/WHM, and myself. We took him down on Windsday. No deaths this time. Easy-squeezy. So now I need to do Ifrit to get all my whispers. Then I have to figure out how to beat Fenrir and who I can beg for help.



I finally tried scooping today. Did not participate last year as I was too busy leveling WHM. The first 5 - 8 scoops I tried I was the saddest little tarutaru. Either my scoop ripped or I lost my catch. Luckily I became more succesful and was actually able to catch some lionheads. So I'm closer to getting that goldfish bowl set so I can craft my own goldfishbowl. I think I have to level some of my crafts on Verrick to be able to do that though. Oh well. Here's my haul for the day. As Strawberrie had mentioned, tarutaru are cute when they scoop. Haven't seen the other races.

So I started to level BST again, yesterday and today. I think I'm taking a break from the whole crafting thing. Have to do some other things to keep sanity. So I decided to level BST. Yes, the dreaded Beastmaster. Now I've had my fill of irritating WHM and tanks. Granted I haven't looked for a party as I've joined parties that friends have made. Beastmaster seemed like something I could do solo ^^. It is a totally different mindset. Definitely not gaining a large amount of experience an hour, but it's exciting. Will I live this time? Will I be able to survive that gob? Will my charm run out? I must have died at least 4-5x in Buburimu Penninsula yesterday. And went up and down in experience and even deleveled to 15. So I decided to go to the Maze of Shhkrami and did much better. Only died like 1-2x.



Got interrupted by a request to help with Garuda Prime. Apparently the the WHM that needed it decided to go as SMN. Two RDM/NIN, SMN/WHM, BLM/WHM were there and asked me to come. I had to leave the maze, change, and get there. Then I died (but I had RR3 up) after the blood pact. I haven't done the primes in awhile, my placement was just wrong. But we managed to beat her. Now I have 4 of the 6 whispers needed to get Fenrir. Just need Titan and Ifrit again. Then maybe I can pull my SMN out of hibernation! Go go SMN.
