They Fought The Law, And The Law Won.

If you have not heard by now, there was a huge Salvage/Nyzul/Sandworm glitch awhile back that allowed people to increase the normal droprate of items. Until now, many people thought they got away with using this bug to get free item drops, but apparently SE has not taken kindly to the situation, and issued mass bannings. The players on Odin have kept it pretty quiet who was banned and who wasn't.

My character, who has never even entered Salvage, is perfectly fine, and noone I know personally on Odin was affected by this series of bannings (that I know about anyway). I do feel bad for some of the people who recieved the banstick, but honestly this just makes me feel better about my groups shitty Nyzul Isle drop rate. That however, is another story...

Edit: Turns out I do know a few people who got banned. Not sure if they are temp or not, but I'll be nice and keep it quiet for now. :-/

Seraph the Red Mage!?!

The hell you say!?! Yeah, I've sort of put Paladin on the back burner and taken a shot at leveling Red Mage, to be the more complete player I guess. It's been moderately fun so far, and I have gotten to level 50 with capped skills, and full AF in storage waiting to now be worn. Not too terrible of a situation to be in.

There isn't much to talk about, the job revolves around refreshing the MP users, casting haste on everyone who wants it, debuffing the monster when necessary, and healing when able. Oh, and the routine ten minute converts, to try to compensate for my terrible Elvaan MP situation. -_-

Anyway, Ararith and I got to joking about being able to Ballista once my RDM was 75, and the topic of how I would go about winning came up. I suggested I could just kite her with DoT and movement speed, like any good RDM should.

I'll post a more detailed discussion about my thoughts on RDM once I get to 60 and can take my elemental staves and AF for a test drive. Right now, I do feel sort of like just a refresh whore, and with only decent gear, my enfeebles don't always stick, and that makes me a sad panda. More details when I get to it!...

Updates: Comming Soonish!

I have been very busy lately, but I have about nine months worth of stuff to talk about. Most notable accomplishments have been:

- Homam 5/5
- PLD AF+1 Set 5/5
- RDM Subjob 37
- Adventuring Fellow Level 66
- Almost finished with PLD merits.
- Exploring WotG content, and working on remaxing my Campaign Rank.

I'll get into the mess details once I have time to put together a real post. Just wanted to let people know I am still around, but haven't really had the time to put together a really good post.

Just Wait Till We Get Our {{Homam}} On You! ™ v2.0

Does lightning ever strike the same place twice? Well, maybe not exactly, but these drops pretty much kick just as much ass as last week:

Having the Homam Body in my possession puts me at 4/5 for my Homam collection now. All that remains is the feet, and I believe I am first on that list. Probably going to do a few Ultimas since we have been so Omega heavy lately, but lets hope once we do Omega again that the feet drop, so I don't have to keep living the lie that is Amir Boots. >.>;;;;

Just Wait Till We Get Our {{Homam}} On You! ™

It's been awhile since I have managed to get my hands on some worthwhile PLD item, and after my little drama scene on BG, I didn't think anything exciting would happen again for at least a few weeks. As it turns out, Ararith was off with Tuufless a little while ago trying to leech a DRG or BRD AF item from Apollyon and managed to get the Magenta Chip from the zone (Those crazy BLMs don't have any use for it apparently). For some reason, hearing this seems to have made my Limbus leaders switch gears from 'Ultima' mode, to 'Omega' mode. We decided to put together a run to do Omega, and not only did Ararith get two more of the chips she needed for a full Omega set, but this scene welcomed us when Omega went down and we opened the chest:

After all was said and done, we have three more happy members, and another 5/5 Homam set. I can't complain. ^^

Assuming all goes well on Tuesday, we will have another Omega set we will use on Saturday. That impresses me, since at least half of this set came on accident, and was assembled in just over a week. No complaints from me about it though...

As far as the points standings are now, I am first for both Homam Feet and Homam Body with literally noone even close to me points wise. I'm hoping feet drop Saturday, since the Body is mostly for show, and just a slight DD upgrade since I can't tank in it, and it has no haste. I must say though, it feels good to finally be 3/5 Homam after waiting for a drop for many months now. Future updates as they become available. (^.^)v
