Salvage Filled Week
Posted by: Anexia in Dynamis, Einherjar, Limbus, RDM, SMN, Salvage, Shinies!, xxNMWith the spliting/breaking of Consumed, I’ve spent a lot of the last week doing salvage runs. We got 500k for our first glass from the Consumed bank, which is stupid since the whole linkshell was supposed to go to Staren when Rev and Arrey stepped down…but it ended up being a “oh, we’re breaking the shell and keeping the gil.” Oh well, it is what it is.
Star and I met these really nice guys doing a salvage pick up run — one of our very first dynamis officers came with for the run and he’s super nice, so it was fun to see him again. Since then we’ve done 3-4 salvage runs with these two, and it’s gone really well. We’re still doing our 4-a-week static with friends, but that gives us 3 extra tags a week…and we’ve been using them. Last night was a double boss run — we did Zhayolm and got to like 6% before wiping :< We had an all but useless white mage and monk though, and it kind of took it’s tole. We did fairly well until the last 10% when we got 3 discords in the span of a minute, I kid you not. I’m told the boss is typically zerged for the last 10%, but we were recovering from an earlier mishap where our two good monks died, and we just weren’t able to get on top of things by the 10% mark between the crummy WHM and 3rd MNK.
Right after that was our static’s run, and since we were missing a few people (Saturday is so hit or miss for us, like 5 people are maybes on Saturday and I don’t think any were there last night), so our friends from this pick up group tagged along ^^ Hopefully we’ll be able to do another run with them tonight since we don’t have dynamis — we decided after the break, and the other group stole some of our memebers (and by that, I mean Star should have gotten everyone who wanted to do dynamis, and these people basically said come join us and didn’t mention Star was still a leader…), that we’d take a 1.5-2 week break to recruit some new members and whatnot.
Hmm, what else have I been up to…
Einherjar: It’s been canceled for the last few weeks due to Aion’s release. The linkshell I go with apparently has a LOT of people missing due to the new MMO o:
Limbus: We did an Omega and an Ultima within the last two weeks, and managed to get a few nice pieces: Shoes/Body/Hands off Omega, and Hat/Hands off Ultima. I’m first in line for Nashira Seraweels now, and really looking forward to getting them :)
SMN: The other day, Q and I ended up going to duo Imps on our Summoners, and it was really fun :D Not anything else about it to really make note of, other than I rarely ever use my summoner and it really is a fun job, so it was nice to be able to dust my gear off and play with it for a bit :)
Sea/Ix’Aerns: Probably a week and a half ago or so, Star and I and a few friends popped Ix’MNK and got the kill — only a deed dropped, unfortunately, but hey it was 40k or so for each of us. Yesterday, I got on and found Star and Q in sea, camping Ix’DRK, so I ended up joining them. Iwas on WHM, and thought they had said Ix’DRG so I swapped to BLM and then had to change to RDM ~_~ Lots of changing! It was fun though, we killed probably 4-5 rooms and just as I was going to log for a nap, Q got the message in his chat log so we popped the NM and off we went. It was actually a really fun fight — out of all the Ix’s it may be my favorite, sans the bagillion reraises (I think we had 7-8, which isn’t horrid; first time Idid it we had around 20). Star pulled the Aerns out of the room to the zone and got all the ghrahs, and then I grav/bound the two Qo’Aerns and ran them to the zone while Q ran to the balcony room. He ended up dying :< so on my way back I grabbed Ix’DRK and kited him by myself for a good 10-15 min while I waited for Star to unweaken and Q to hp and run back. Pretty easy with D. Chapeau and W. legs! Only a deed off him too, but oh well!
Anyways! More later I’m sure~ Until next time! :)
