The elusive Byakko's Haidate. O.o"

Hi guys, am back with with tons of new screenshots. I was a busy busy taru. D:



I did my very first Dynamis Bastok and it was a lot of fun!

I also got my very first relic drop and one of the most useful ones for SAM, the relic gloves. :D Thank you guys.

We got the win for me, yay.

Starla is such a smart bard, hiding where no Quadav can punt her. :D

We got excellent drops, also got 11 wootz ores. Also double SCH and COR drops.

I've been levelling my NIN, such a fun job. I loved how this screenshot turned out. I always had to stand on a cliff to see the entire dhalmel and not just legs lol.

Scary UFO in sky. ;_;

DoA and Octy helped me farm Organs for my Weapon Gorgets but we only got one since we had no thief.

DoA died and I took this cool screenshot. o.o"

I was first in line for Byakko's haidate already yay! But sadly both byakko we popped did not drop any haidate I was a heartbroken taru. ;_;

We did do my very first Kirin though and boy is it a scary and difficult NM! O.O;

It was a fun fight though and I had fun watching Diabolos blast it. :D

Unfortunately we didn't get any nice drops. I still say SE should up the drop rates on everything, supposed to be a fun game not work!

I did some FoV with Octy afterwards and we fought stuff that looked like mini Kirin lol

I grew some new plants to dry for my Mog House. A tree Cutting and Wheat Grain, I love them.

Finaly did Chapter 8-1 of CoP. It's so interesting.

The fights were fun :D

I forgave the little ebil taru.

I've been levelling my NIN a lot, its lv33 now so only 4 levels to go. :D

I absolutely love this screenshot, I didn't even know how it happened lol.

Our planned Dynamis Valkurm was cancelled because not enough people were online so we went to do Sandy so I could get the win. Was another fun run. :D

We won and now I only need to win Dynamis Jeuno to get access the the other Dynamis areas. :D

Drops werent that good although we did get 3 NIN pants lol. The highly sought after Bard hat did drop though and no one had it on their lot list. I was extremely happy because my little taru friend Vivinite who has been recently levelling his BRD got to lot the item. Grats Vivi, can't wait till you hit 75 and can use the hat. :D

Konda showes us how to successfuly MPK your entire alliance when you only have one BLM lol. Was hilarious. xD

2gvllzn.jpg



Like every farming run I went as SAM/DNC but since we didnt have many mages there for the run I was main heal for my party LOL. xD Erase left and right, Heal, AoE heal...I got to experience first hand how mages must feel. :O

10r1zxy.jpg



Was a very good farming run, we killed steamcleaner, mother globe, got 3 diorites and also got Despot twice. :D

2wbypw2.jpg



Some awesome Tarus I found.

Look at the taru scholar in the middle to the left. He looks so awesome. I am heavliy thinking about actually taking a mage job to 75 as my next job, just to have something different. Sadly that means getting WHM/RDM to 37 as subs but i really want to level SCH. I was also looking at BRD but I think it will end up being SCH. I just love the AF, plus SCH use the awesome hat at 75 still and I love the hybrid idea of Scholar. Will keep you guys updated on what I decide. :D

While levelling my NIN last night I met this cool little taru. :D

2e2mow3.jpg



Taru power!

We started Sky this morning doing a Kirin but it didn't go to well. No screenshots it is a chapter that will be forgotten.

We went on to Byakko and the first Byakko did not drop any Haidate, was like the 5th one in a row without pants. ;_;

We let a JP LS pop Byakko after that and afterwards we popped our last Byakko for today:

When I read "Congratulations Buttons" in the chat window I almost fell out of my chair. They finally dropped!!! I am so happy I was shaking the entire afternoon I was in shock. I finally have the one piece I wanted so badly for my little taru. Thanks everyone in Phailure LS, you guys rock!

I am really happy with how my gear is progressing. I updated my Woodsman Rings to Snipers this week since they fell to 90k'ish on caithsith and Woodsmans were still 120k. (Crazy I know!? O.o")

To keep a 6-hit with my new Haidate I sadly need to use an Ecphoria Ring until I get my Rajas Ring which hopefully will be soon. Only a few more things to do then CoP is done. :D

Thanks for reading, will update again once I get fresh material to post about. :D

Buttons sets the airship record! O.o"

Time for a biiiig post, so much has happened I don't know where to start lol.



I finally managed to farm 250 bead necklaces and decided it was time to unlock NIN. Lucy was nice enough to help me with the NM.

NIN/PUP is awesome for low level soloing!

5l9j6x.jpg



I went goldfish scooping with Shokun and I sucked at it haha. Shokun gave me some fishies later so I could get a butterfly to craft my cage. xD

fbyucz.jpg



Someone in my LS was nice enough to craft my cage for me and even signed it. His crafting mule is a taru called Fuzzylemur, so awesome!

2rejpet.jpg



I went adventuring with Octy and got a rare/ex katana for my NIN, a steammail from a giant lizzy and you can see my new butterfly cage in the background!

21abq5g.jpg



I'm really enjoying Sky and have not missed on run so far, it's always a lot of fun.

w8q5wm.jpg



Also did my first Suzaku and Genbu.

Genbu is such an awesome turtle I want him as my pet!

I joined in on another Dynamis run, Dynamis Valkurm this time.

2d9znyv.jpg



The megaboss was mean and something went wrong ;_;

1zbcqpx.jpg



The bad mood was quickly forgotten though since it was time to take a Dynamis LS pic! I took around 20 and gave the LS around 7 ones to choose from. Here are two of the ones I took of us. :D

My NIN is lv17 now and it's fun. I haven't tried a party yet since I am scared of tanking haha but sooner or later I will need to.

990zfa.jpg



I was bored a few days ago and took the barge down Cacrpenter's landing for the first time. Was exciting but sadly no NM attacked me.

208ibsh.jpg



Princy and myself getting ready for besieged!

aax1rm.jpg



Had a very fun merit party with my LS and finally got my second overwhelm merit! :D

28u5rfc.jpg



I liked this screenshot that I took flying to Jeuno.

2m5gqvs.jpg



I am so fascinated by the floors in sky that glow when you tread on them. I just run in circles and look at the floor glowing. o.o"

More Sky gods!

So guys....as you know I'Ve been stuck on airship for months and had about 9 failed attempts so far. Octy was nice enough to organise a full run for me and he even sponsored most items needed. We went in for 2 dry runs and did the full run on our 3rd try. We actually won! Yes that's right. Buttons has won the CoP airship fight! We even set the record with 19minutes and 47 seconds!!!!!

The bad thing....I forgot to turn on my fraps, it was turned off since I was scared of DCing and then I forgot to turn it back on! ;_; So sadly no screenshots. ;_;

I do want to thanks everyone who came to help me. Octavious and Velvet, Furoris and Vitali and of course our awesome galka samurai too! Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help you gave me. ^^



I love this screenshot of tenzen o.o

2eq85te.jpg



Of course I had to advance in CoP now. The story keeps getting better and better!

OMG the poor moblins ;_;

bikk15.jpg



My taru looked weird in this cutscene o.o

Time for the Tenzen battle, off we go into the sky again!

140kjs.jpg



Thanks everyone who came to help me, was a lot of fun and we pwned the silly samurai!

2a82muu.jpg



The plot thickens....wtf they wanna kill me to save the world!!

10n9qo2.jpg



Of course the idiot Nag'moloda barges in again and ruins everything. Stupid evil person!

Wow. Almost one year after starting our static I am finally in Sea. YAY! :D

2m49g95.jpg



Not long till the end of CoP now. I can smell my Rajas Ring already. >:3

1zmjlw1.jpg



Yay Buttons has Sea access woooot!

rh30na.jpg



2ufdkhy.jpg



And sea access means....brutal earring yay!!! I have been saving up hard for a hagun but decided to use half of the gil to buy coins for my brutal. It would take a long time for me to get Hagun anyway so might as well get a good upgrade now instead of waiting months and months.

My taru piggybank is empty now and hagun is a far off dream again but at least my samurai has a teeny tiny upgrade now. ^-^ Here's to hoping I get my Byakko's haidate and Rajas Ring soon. :D
