Soaring to New Heights!

Ok, so I might have forgotten about my last promise to post about the STRIFE and Salvage thing...my bad. A lot since then has happened though, so I'll briefly talk about the Salvage Run then I want to talk more about STRIFE.

So, ImperialScouts the Salvage Linkshell.

I was impressed. I was very, very impressed. They have a very tight knit group -- cell passing\lotting went as smooth as I think it's possible to do. We had minimal deaths -- the leader Onibaku really knew his shit and we got things done. We had two Anu's Tiara drop, that was cool. Nothing else really happened, we fought other NMs but no drops. I'll most defiantly be going back, this will be the Linkshell to get me my Skadi's gear.

STRIFE...

We. Are. Awesome. We're on a huge roll here. We're claimed every NM, we've got every pop item...we're planning to do our first God on the 17th. Within a week though, we're managed to do double what the other Sky Linkshell's usually accomplish in a week.

But what makes us so special? 80% of our Linkshell...is new to Sky. Aside from the leaders, STRIFE's opening run was the FIRST time more then half of our Linkshell even stepped into Sky, let alone read up on it. It's amazing. We took down our first Faust and Mother Globe last night completing our missing God sets. Last I knew we had 2 Genbu's and two halfs, 4 Byakkos, 1 and half Seiryu, and 1 and a half Suzaku. It's our hope that within a month we'll be reliably taking down Gods and trying our hand at our first Kirin. It's been amazingly fun so far.

Last night alone we started at 8:00pm and the night went like this...

Kill Faust (Soup Abj.). Kill Ullikumi (Soup Abj.). Kill Steam Cleaner (Drink Abj, and Indra Katars) on 2nd Detector Summon. Kill Olla Grande (Drink Abj.). Get a water on first kill. Kill Olla Grande (Drink Abj.). Go find Curtana in third room we check. Kill Brigandish Blade (Soup Abj,). Then I logged and they went and killed Mother Globe. All within 2-3 hours, it was an excellent night!

I'm a little bummed out that they delayed the new Assault and Rank...but whatever, gives me more time to rank up myself. In 10 days I should max rank, but I need to hop to it! I got four assault tags burning a hole in the commissions agency as we speak!

Also, TOA Missions...DO, THEM, NOW! SqaureEnix has started trying some brand new things in both battles and cut scenes. Some of the new graphics and textures and different actions\animations they're starting to use is pimp. We're talking like...if you were to take RDM AF and THF AF...and make it into like...Thief Mage AF -- oh yea, that pimp.
