I won't mind buying the moat carp from you, I need them. :P

If you need insect balls synthed, I'm skilling cooking off those on a mule, I can sell them to you cheap.

After a morning run with the Sky LS this morning, I got my FIRST EVAR armor from sky. Unless you count that stupid D. Head Abjurgation which has been sitting in my mog house for 5 months. :P





In other news, I am now a Veteran in Woodworking, at level 88 and hopefully rising. Got my Carpenter's Apron too, now I just have to save up 150,000 more god-damn guild points to get the stupid Mog House Furniture.

Silverhook would be easy to solo for NINs if he didn't have -ga spells. The low MND of NIN combined with the low MND of Taru made me pretty open to spells (Blizzaga 2 took off about 500 by itself). Ice spikes didn't help much.

Really, to solo the guy I would have to have more supplies with me than I did (I only had shihei) and probably a WHM sub. NIN can solo stuff pretty well, but if they're spellcasters they can be extremely difficult, which is why WHMs can beat NINs in Ballista by spamming Diaga on them. Comes down to equipment and preparation, and I was definately not prepared to face Silverhook.

Like Shiggy, I have put off the Sand Charm quest for quite some time, so I decided to wait for pirates. After about 2 hours, i don't get any pirates, but I do indeed get into a fight with something I've wanted to solo I long time:



Indeed, Sea Horror was not that difficult, even without any debuffing whatsoever. Hundred Fists was kind of annoying, but if it got that bad it's easy to just kite the guy around.

About 5 minutes later, on the same damn boat ride, he popped again. This time an unlucky fisherman got owned before I could grab him.



It's not really unseen for Sea Horror to pop twice on the same ride, but I had my fill of Sea Horror killing for the day.

For some reason the guy couldn't leave me alone though, when the boat left dock again, he popped AGAIN.



About 2 more hours into the whole ordeal I was getting kind of annoyed, but finally pirates came along and I got my sand charm. The long wait got me more than I bargained for.



Instinctively as a Ninja, I have to solo everything. So here's the end of this story:



THE END.

Talked to Sevrine, turns out he's a bit low on cash right now so he's taking a break.

If it's really a big deal to all of you, we can move over in another LS. It might take a while, though.

Bleh, this thread reminds me of that god-awful movie Man of the Year.

Still, this is Colbert, so I doubt he'd be as shove-it-down-your-throat as this movie was.

I'm not the only one that can pearl, Risten can pearl too. :P

I've sent a message to Sevrine asking if he's taking a break from the game. After I get a response we can go from there.

If he is, I still see little point in moving to another LS because the other LS will be just as barren. It's not that we don't have have enough members, its that most of the Zohar/Solaris/WaterSlide/dfklsjdflskj people have been apart for a while now, and most of us have another LS to screw around with. Not everyone is going to be ready to just brush off their other LS to hang around in ThistleDown all the time.

This leads to the other problem is repearling everyone that is already in Thistledown; there are people who have Thistledown pearls who arn't on very much so it's going to be just as big of a pain in the ass to pearl them, too. What I believe we need right now is just more new members that are searching for a social LS/newbies that don't have any LS. If Sevrine can sign in long enough to bag a bunch of people, we'll be fine.

At any rate, I hope Sevrine won't be gone for too long, then we wouldn't need to worry about this at all.

Starting the grind yet again by leveling BLU, and I'm off to a pretty good start. Level 21 now. I decided to take my inflated gil and abuse it horribly by making pretty much my entire set of gear white-bordered so I can stroke my ego. :P

Learning spells is a pain in the ass though, and I have a lot of spells to learn before I go on leveling. BLU is probably not the job you want to play if you want to challenge Shiggy's leveling marathon there. Heh.

Go figure that the internet connection in my dorms is a lot faster than the one that I have at home. How that works, I have no idea.

I suppose I shall take this moment to take advantage of your sig making, then. :P

1. TT Male Face 4A. Should be the short ponytail one with gray hair.

2. Just NIN, probably. I'm not sure of your photoshop skills, but I suppose something that makes it look like I have shadow copies surrounding me would be kinda cool. :P Just stick me in full ninja AF with no helm. I'm fine with any weapon, though I suppose I'll hold a kunai of some sort in my right hand and a shinobi gatana in the other.

3. I want an image of my character looking up to the sky.

4. A darker color scheme is preferred. For the background, if possible, I want a shot of Vana'Diel's night sky with the moon to the side.

5. Border- Eh, whatever you think looks better.

6. Hmm...

I'm kinda picky, heh, so I won't mind if you take the lazy route for some of these things.

In other news, my WHM went from 18-21. Now it's time to get my BLM out of the crappy Dunes.

Edit: Oh right, forgot job levels. Sorry. :P
By the way, since the numbers will constantly change, perhaps you can tell me what text and such you use for the numbers so I can change it myself when I need to.

Yeah ,I was going to tell you guys but since we're in different time zones it was difficult to catch you guys online, heh.

The LS is called Thistledown, by the way.

Addendum:

Personally vouching that Sevrine is one of the coolest people I've met in the game, he pretty much gets along with everyone except for the biggest of assholes (Who was in our former sky LS, got pissed off when Sevrine won the lot on a Haidate).

Hey, if FlamingDuck/Valesti thinks he's cool, I'm pretty sure that says a lot to you guys. :P

We did make an LS named Unpossible, but we're pretty much considering quitting that to go to another LS (Er, the name slips my head right now) owned by Sevrine, who isn't from RPGFan but was a member of Waterslide. We didn't really want to try to move everyone over to a new LS because that always just creates a bunch of chaos.

Most importantly Sevrine's LS has a few of former Zohar/Solaris/Waterslide/Whatever the hell people in it like Risten and Evalith (though its usually empty), and most notably Valesti. Can't have a complete RPGfan LS without his random legendary rants. :P

So yeah, we're probably going to toss Unpossible and go to Sevrine's LS, since Unpossible only had like 5 people in it anyway. We just made it like 2 days ago, so it's not too bad to quit while we're ahead.

Also, in-game name is Kincard now.

Man, so many people are joining in again. I should probably start playing more.

Kind of a long story, but I'll be back on Leviathan by this Sunday or so (Which should be Saturday over there in the States). My character is the artist formerly known as Howard, but now my name is changed. Since I need to get back to Leviathan I'm not sure if I need to change it again, so I'll withhold from posting it for now.

Also, remember all you newbies. There's always power leveling. And always remember that everyone in this game has a bondage fetish of some sort.

Spoiler, after thinking about it for a while.



Dancer using daggers kind of pisses me off. Why can't they just add a few new weapons instead of dancing around the issue giving the new jobs old weapons with crappy skill ratings?

Whips and cloths from previous FFs is kind of a long shot since it's pretty damn obvious they do their best to avoid any flexible weapons, probably because they're too lazy to animate them. But come on, a bit more effort? Please?

I always figured that if they added Dancer, it would end up being another hybrid class: Kind of like Corsair, except with focus on melee combat instead of using guns.

I'm surprised that they are bringing even more classes at all. Though most would probably agree that's one of the most interesting features of the game.

Wait, wait.

Halo has a story?
