I successfully made my goldfish bowl today. LIfe is good. So I leave you with pictures of the sunbreeze festival. For some reason I accidentally erased pics of Valynne and myself in our festival clothes. I'll have to beg her to take some more pictures. Hope everyone's festival is going well.
Tried ENM "When Hell Freezes Over" with squallf and others last night. We wiped. Those snolls were hard. I need to start exping again, I'm getting close to deleveling on my WHM ; ;
When I was leveling my WAR in a party the other day with LS mates Zakks, Hyryu, and other members we were fighting worms in the tunnel. We were on the East Altepa side. Things were going well, we were getting Chain #3 and #4 (pretty good for a WHM level 15 without a sub to keep up with us). Then these level 50 BLMs came and started skilling up with their wands on our worms! We asked them to move and they said, "we're farming zinc ore!". Now you can get zinc ore from a whole ton of other places including mining and Zehrun. I think it's only common courtesy that you do not skill up/farm mobs that experience parties are trying to get. Then this level 20 RDM (rank 8) with 2 PLs came and started killing worms too. Her defense was "I'm farming copper ore!" Now I was really upset at this. Copper ore can be bought for 9-12 g at the guild or even 15g at any airship dock. What the hell are you "farming" copper ore for. That was just a stupid excuse. Needless to say, I wrote the offending person's names down. So if I ever get a raise request, tele request or help request from Lilwarrior, Whitekiba, or Kiwizoid it will be {Sorry, I'm busy now}, remember Korrokolo Tunnel when you took my mobs farming for copper ore?!?! I may be petty yes, but that really irritated me!
On a happier note, for the past few days I have been searching for silica. Need it for a glass sheet to make my goldfish bowl from the summerbreeze festival. Valynne has been kind enough to excavate in the maze with me for silica. It took us two days for about 2-3 hours each time, but we finally got them! I better not break or I'm going to be very sad.
In an effort to get silica I tried to go to Purgonurgo Isle to fight the pugils there as someone had suggested that they drop them frequently. It didn't drop once. But I got some really beautiful screenshots.
Come one, come all. Join the Tarutaru scooping line in Rabao.
Tarutaru as so short they drown when scooping.
Death of a Beastmaster.
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.
