=)

What I did one day while waiting for besieged to start. :P

uhm...I don't think I need to really comment on this one. :) Chup is a weirdo lol

Orezzzz

*squee* Yet again, my chocobo doesn't fail me! I love these ores since they sell for 50k a pop on my server. ^^ I also had a pretty productive day as far as digging goes. (And it's not over yet, still got my next ground to try in a few hours.) I got a lot of elm, ebony, rosewood, and oak logs in Wajoam Woodlands, along with an Adaman ore. I really love my green choco and her burrow ability. GreenOlive (my choco), is one of the only reasons I still maintain a large amount of gil (not as much as I used to have) while leveling a craft as expensive as goldsmithing.

Aht Urgahn Missions

Did a few more missions for the ToAU storyline. It's starting to get interesting, and that puppetmaster girl is just cute. I love her outfit! ^^
After waiting around for parties for hours today, I teamed up with a guy from my Linkshell and we duo ed to level 50. (three very painful hours.... though at least I had someone to talk to.) So, I handed in all of Kelvenas 50 cap items, so she's good until level 54....then comes the 55 cap. I'm almost caught up to my old character! :)

Goldsmithing is now at level 31. It's going slow due to the expense, but I'm trekking along. My cooking mule is almost to level 40....she's now on hold until I can dump all the jack o' lanterns I made to get her to level 38. At least they sell for a profit, even with buying the material to make them. I think, when I get enough points accumulated to get the key item from the guild, I'll go with noodle kneading. I noticed that the sushi situation on my server is messed up. The only way to make any sort of profit off of your sushi, is to hq it, or farm most of your material. I'm fine with growing my own tarutaru rice, but it gets old when you have to farm ALL your items. I noticed that you can make spaghetti for a decent profit, which is why I'll probably go with noodle kneading. But first thing is first, I have to get rid of all those jacks! lol I'll probably bazzar in Selbina, in hopes of dumping them.

Other than that, tomorrow I intend to party up and get a level or two. Hopefully I wont be too tired out when I get back from jogging and shopping.....stupid groceries...=/ I'm turning into an old lady who constantly needs naps...

Shadow Lord / Rank 6 and prommy's! O_O

I've been a rather busy bee the last few weeks. :)
Kelvena is now a 49 (soon to be 50) Samurai. Took my time for a bit to start the long, and VERY expensive craft that is Goldsmithing. (my poor pocketbook ><) It is now at level 30, and my cooking mule is now level 34 cooking. I will begin hunting my Artifact Armor soon, and hopefully, with some help from nice people, I'll be wearing a full AF set in two weeks or so. :) A few days ago, I finally achieved rank 6 with Bastok. The Shadowlord fight so epic, like the classic Final Fantasy Final Boss fights (though hes not the "Final Boss" by any means). Screens are below.
After that lovely event, I went to Norg, to start "Rise of the Zilart". *squees*
The archangel Tarutaru is just too precious. :P I want that little hat! So yeah, they did a good job at tying the two storylines together. Any other game, and it would have come off as being a cop-out, but it worked here. :)

Followed by all this, I've gotten my second promyvian done, only Mea to go! Then I get to see Lufaise Meadows for the first time. I hear its awfully pretty! The prommy bosses aren't too difficult if you are organized about it. The Holla boss wiped the floor with us our first try, then we raised and rested, tried again, and we hardly lost any hp...no deaths, no one even went into the red. I love prommy's, if I could, I would do them exclusively, they are so dark and creepy.

I noticed a lot of "Real World" propaganda has been seeping into this game...I've come across some of the most ignorant players ever lately. Most of them making really racist/hateful comments... Like the douche in Zuriels party a few days ago, who said "I hate Iraq" and other really inappropriate comments. Zuriel replied...and I love this comment... "It's only the cradle of civilization...." along with a lot of "You're an ignorant/intolerant asshat" replies to his further rant. i wish people would keep things like that to themselves...really...

Oh, and in between all of this, I've been...reading, yes, reading again! Got myself a brand new book today, since I'm almost finished with what I'm currently reading. Finally got my hands on a copy of "The Pillow Book", a collection of entries written by a lady in waiting to the Japanese empress in the 900's. I saw excerpts in my high school english book, that I really enjoyed, but I could never find the book until now. After I'm done reading "The Last Boylen" again, I'll be moving on to that one. (I like history. Can you tell?) After that, I will attempt "The Epic of Gilgamesh" ...cause it sounds pretty interesting...and is one of, if not the first, written story in history.

Uhm...yeah, that's about it for now. I'm awaiting Wings of the Goddess in Nov. ^^ I can't wait to try out Dancer.
