Izman, Fairies & Turtles, Oh My!

My first day back was a pretty good one! Nearly, great!

I would have loved to have spent my first night back dying in Nyzul or killing Goobue's in the Boyahda Tree with Miss Teila. However, she was absent from the world of Vana'diel this week. =(

Coming in at a close second, however, was Mr. Izman! (And a very others who shall be named hereafter).

I'm very excited and very ecstatic to be back -- but, alas, not all is well in Kallo Land. When I left from the game for my three month hiatus, I had to sell my beloved Blau Dolch in order to pay off the rest of my Skadi Cuirie. It would have been rude to leave those debts unsettled after all.

So, Mr. Izman, was kind enough to buy me a Fane Baselard (Because I'm super poor), and we got a group together to go try out some of these Fey Weapon Augments.

In the line-up we have...

Highlife and Invyiana! I'm not so use to Invy being a class that can punch things...uh, well! Punch things well! But she did a pretty good job. =) She didn't die like Izman forsaw, so that's good. Highlife came how he usually comes! A Hagun wielding, TP buildin' Cowboy! He splashed about 200TP worth all over my face for fun between pops. =\ Thanks Highlife.

Also! Highlife had this! ; ; and I tried to nix it, but it didn't go over so well. =(











Then of course, we have the ever looney Omoikitte and Clubber! As soon as I was back in game, Omoi proceeded to catch up on all the heckling she's missed out on in the past 3 months. =P There was much rejoicing (her) and much crying (me). Honestly, I just think she's jealous of the tantalizing tentacle. /shrug. And surprisingly enough, Clubber didn't die at all during this! GASP! He did, however, stand with his back towards the camera...to be mysterious? Probably. Had he died, I'd say it was to be Emo. =P

And finally, we have the Champ himself, Iron Will Izman. Who, as anyone who is anyone should know, is a hell of a player. Other than that one death (which, to be fair, wasn't his fault -- I guess. 1900 Skull Smash. =P Though it was funny.) did an amazing job kiting the Qaudav. He has it down to a near science, it's not even kiting so much as the turtle running back and forth and back and forth, not really knowing how to get back the wall to get the Izman.

Also, not pictured -- is Whmrock! Who took Omoi's place as White Mage. I would've had a picture of this cute little Tarutaru, but he was too big and awesome for the Camera! D= Maybe next time. Now, the Damage and the Accuracy are each One away from being perfect (as far as I know), I would KILL for that Stun to be Triple Attack +2. However, Stun isn't bad for Campaign\Solo'ing. So, I was very happy with it. Especially since I got it after only two tries.

I'm going to keep plugging away and see if I can't nab one or two more with that same stats, except a Triple Attack instead of Stun. =) We'll see how it goes.

And on a side note, while I was doing campaign I got a random dex buff (from a SMN I think) and ended up with THIS! That's a lot of Dexterity...

And lastly, I'd like to leave you with a fitting little quote from Izman, dedicated to everyone's favorite (or not) old ranting, raving lunatic, Ringthree...

Ancient...get it? He's Ancient...as in old! Heh heh heh...that's a good one...

How To Make A Party.

Firstly, I would like to say I miss everyone! I know I said a short vacation but real life has a way of you know, screwing things up. For awhile there, I thought I had quit...I know it's been going around and I know I even told a lot of people I quit. Hell, I even believed a did for awhile. However, things are looking a tad bit better, so I'm going to try and come back in a smaller capacity...see if real life lets me do that.

Anyhow! I thought as a small celebratory post I'd let you all in on the secrets...of how to make a successful party at any level (read: 75) in 9 easy steps.

Step One. Locate a Tank. (Warrior, Ninja, Paladin.)

Step Two. Make sure they have the appropriate sub. (Ninja.)

Step Three. Find a Healer. (Red Mage, White Mage, lolScholar.)

Step Four. Refresh is nice. (Red Mage, Bard, Corsair.)

Step Five. Kick the Corsair for having Ranger subbed and wanting to be a Damage Dealer.

Step Six. Good, you've found a Bard.

Step Seven. Fill up on real Damage Dealers!

Step Eight. Do you have a PUP? Kick the PUP from the party and find a not PUP.

Step Nine. PAR-TAY!
