Please Sir, Can I have Some Morr?

Considering my luck, or rather lack of, I never though the day I would actually complete the Morrigan robe set.

When I joined my salvage group, I was only thinking of just completing my Morrigan's robe and considering the crappy drop rate of salvage, I never expected I could actually complete the robe itself, let alone the whole set.

But I guess after spending so much time ( and Exp ) in salvage, one would eventually get there.

It actually took me ten months to get the complete set. In this order:

Morrigan's Robe
Morrigan's Slopes
Morrigan's Pigaches
Morrigan's Cuffs
Morrigan's Coron

Of the five pieces, I think the feet was the rarest of them as it took alot of tries to get the NM to drop it.

Sadly, it looks so much better on my mannequin than it looks on me as my hair covers most of the Coron.

My Name's Not Timmy !

I bet that's what Tiamat always say whenever I call her that.

So I happened to check Attohwa Chasm last night, and found quite a few familiar names there, most likely camping Tiamat, so I send a tell to a friend there asking if she poped or not. He said CLAN had claimed but had wiped and his LS was {Fighting right now!}, so I noticed they were rather low on members and asked if they needed help. He said ok so I geared up Blm and headed over. But its a rather long way to have to walk to Tiamat.

Town > Teleport-Mea > Tahrongi Canyon > Maze of Shakhami > Attohwa Chasm

But I had a secret weapon... well it's not really a weapon, but a cape. Nexus Cape ! Nexus cape teleports you to your current PT leader's location ragardless where you are, provided the PT leader is in one of the specified zoned the Nexus cape can teleport you to, which, Attohwa Chasm is one of them.

But now you have a problem, I wasn't in the PT in the first place and since Tahrongi and Attowha is in different regions which means they are unable to invite me for me to use my cape. Aha ! But all's not lose cause Meriphataud Mountains is the same region as Attohwa, and I just used the outpost warp to Meriphataud and got invited into the PT and poof it became coacoapuff .... er... I mean I teleported to Attohwa.
Well now that I am at Tiamat, its time to fight! Its been a while since I fought her with Resurrection LS, but then my Blm wasn't geared well at all and like 90% of my nukes were resisted to the crappy dmg like 80ish.

Today, however since I have upgraded my Blm gears, my nukes were mostly unresisted doing on average 500ish dmg, which was nice to see on something like Tiamat. With only a few Blm nuking non stop when Tiamat takes to the air, Tiamat took sometime to kill, with the Blms having to "hold back" abit near the end as we kept pulling hate and getting drawn in.

In the end we killed Tiamat, but all she dropped was ONE FIRE CRYSTAL for all our effort. Oh well, better luck next time. But I got to say, even though we got nothing today, I was quite happy that my Blm has improved and is able to take on Tiamat.

Hourglass Of Die-Na-Miss

Recently a few of my friends and I have been low-manning dynamis zones.

We tried a melee set-up of about seven people in our first Dyna-Beau but it ended badly as there was not enought sleeps and heals. We tried again the next time with a Blm PT and we actually did much better. We did get a few AF2 in that run, which I cant not remember at this time.

We've done Dyna-Xarc with War War Sam Whm Brd Rdm Blm Blm setup before as the Xarc NMs cannot be slept. We usually go for the RDM, PLD, THF, BLM NMs then farm the other demons inside. We usually manage to afrm most of the NMs and the other demons without any major problems, although wipes are sometimes common due to bad pathing by the demons causing it to link with even more.

Alas sadly still no Rdm AF2 hat yet. (T.T )

But low-manning is rather fun, but hard on your Exp Bar ( As you can see from the screenshot ) lol....
