Your Thief's Latest and Greatest Accomplishment!Follow

>.< I just "accomplished" dying to Kreutzet with no competition and being forced to watch it de-spawn seconds before my BRD/WHM rushed into the camp. That was fun.

Go, go Utsusemi wearing immediately after the pull, and then eating Stormwind 30 seconds into the fight! I'm so pissed...

That sucks, I'm so sorry ><. Were you soloing it waiting for your BRD?
Just to give you a bit of hope, I claimed 3/3 with my THF friend and we got 2/3 drops. Easy duo and fun. So go grab a RDM (I'm sure any other healer type job would work) and camp him for a few hours. The good part about camping him is that you can AFK anytime and come back during wind weather lol.

I camped ToD last night, and actually got the claim blindly. Tanked it almost flawlessly with a really good RDM. No drop, naturally. It couldn't end *that* easily, noooooooooooooooooo...

Today I go back in the window with another buddy, a very well-geared THF/NIN, figuring we can duo him just fine. After all, he only Stormwinded once last night. It can't be *that* bad, right? We're camping and it pops as expected, I nab it, and tell my shell. Suddenly the people that had better things to do prior to the pop say they'll join me. Figures, right? I ask them to hurry just in case, and as I get to the tunnel, Utsusemi wears and the bird cuts me in half instantly. I 2hour, put shadows up, and seconds later he Stormwinds. We had no healer yet.

I drop, my buddy tanks it, gets it to 30% or so, and as he dies and it de-spawns, people show up. Story of my life. At least I have the time for the new window, I suppose. /sigh

One of my easiest birdy camps evar.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to dry myself off.

You think thats bad? When I camped Kreutzet for 6 hours waiting for the force pop, wind weather lasted 45 seconds, and he popped and depopped. Can you imagine the anger? I still can't. Don't EVER go afk, even for 20 seconds.

He ended up popping the next day 7 hours after window closed, and we proceeded to rape him. TH4+bird=gimmeallyoshit.

I suppose I'm insanely lucky. Sure, I wiped once, and sure I went 1/2 on the SK, but I did get his ToD within two hours of a blind camp (without a prior ToD), and I managed to claim it three times in under 24 hours. >.> All things considered, not bad.

Today I begin my quest for an Assault Jerkin. If I can tank Kreutzet I figure I can handle Ose. With help. :/

Duo'd Ose with a whm the other day. Wore 23 eva skill, 23 eva, 15 or so agi. Popped blind bolt every time it wore. I'm pretty sure I was at the eva cap. Had little problem keeping up my shadows. Decided to go with one dagger and sub Tatami. My Blau Dolch, Dragon Harness, and Dusk gloves are all loaned out too.

wow, way to be an @#%^!

Might want to say that next time. Based on what you posted, you said you stole it from him and you looked like an ass. That being said, good for you. I woulda done the same.

wow, you got really lucky. I've seen him go 8+ hours without a pop. Gotta feel bad for those other people though, although I suppose its their fault for not being prepared if he pops.

I spent over a week trying to get my friend his AJ for his drg. One time he went well over 8 hours since we got there. We don't even know when he last spawned or when he spawned again because we fell asleep before he even popped. The part that pissed me off most about camping him with my friend was that RMT were camping him non-stop for some god damn stupid reason and kept getting him -.-; The one time we were alone were those 8+ hours when he didn't spawn.

Eventually he popped and we got claim, duo was pretty easy with full time haste from my friends 60ish whm/blm. There was one point when ose just haxed.. and hit down like 9 of my shadows in a row, paralyzed while I was trying to recast, and continued to hit me. I was spamming utsusemi: Ni non-stop and eventually got it off. He had missed me non-stop when I had no shadows and had enough hp to die to one more hit. Swear I had a guardian GM watching over me. My friend being in the same room as me helped with our communication as well.

With that kill my friend finally got his AJ, bringing my drop rate on Ose to 8/9. I vowed I was never going to camp him again. Ever. If someone sees him up I'll come to help fight and/or give TH, but camping is out of the question.

I tend to have a lot of luck with weird NM's as long as I have helped people with them in the past. Charby I helped a friend with about a month before I needed mine. I asked if hime (RDM) and his GF (nin) would come down to camp him with me. We got there and another PT was just leaving, so we thought we must have missed him by mere minutes. We are just about to leave when he pops. We pull, kill and I walk out with my joy-toy for Bard in about 10-12 minutes.

I went to go get the Shaman cloak NM the other day (actually just wanted Stonega II), killed the placeholder... waited 16 minutes and NM popped. Took about 3 minutes to kill, and he dropped Cloak, Quake and crystal... no Stonega :(... but I'll take the cloak lol. I have helped farm this NM about 5 times in the past and seen the cloak 2 times before.

Went to go Get Moldy earring right after that. Showed up and waited almost 45 minutes before he popped. Lots of competition... he popped, group got claim and no drop... I got ToD, I was set (I love these NM's). so I put on timestamp and count to when I need to go back. I go to play FFXII. I come back just as window opens and get claim, kill... no drop... so much for luck... I go back to playing but end up going out for the night. Come back and see his ToD in chat log and set timer, but realize I need sleep... so I wait until morning, look at last ToD when I wake up and he should pop in about 30 minutes. I grab breakfast and sit there... another THF shows up. They ended up with claim, but Mystic actually gets them in red and they flee. I manage to grab him and kill and get earring. :)

I really should go try to camp Argus... but I have never helped anyone with him, so I bet he'll be a pain

Actually, that's how I found Argus, haha. Was helping a new guy in my LS with his RSE, stumbled onto him, claimed, killed no dorp. The kid couldn't understand why I was asking him to pose for screenshots and stuff, it was really cute.

The Ose fight itself I found to be pretty easy as long as you come prepared. The camp, however, is mind-numbing... and for some reason I never get parry skill ups there.

My accomplishment for the pool: Got an MPK attempt on me while I was fighting Pallas... killed Pallas from 50% and the two gigas that were trained on me without a problem, and dinged 196 parrying in the process. Woo.

ouch@AJ.. :x Im 1/3, didn't really spend time to camp it but my friend actually draged me to onzozo and got it in 3~ hours on my third try -_-;

Just wiped to Ose again the other day, only to watch randoms claim it and not get the drop. It seems I just can't tank him without Elegy or Slow. Even with capped evasion and a Torque and earrings on, he's too accurate for me. ; ;

On the bright side, I'm 7k away from my third dagger merit now, and halfway saved up for my Dusk Trousers. <3 I duod some Greater Colibri last night at a rate of about 10k/hr. with my buddy Aanalaty. It ruled.

lol nice, I remember I went like four months without either A. seeing it drop, or B. winning the lot, but then I got it twice in about a week span. Luck is a sh*tty thing =\

Hmmm...new stuff, new stuff...

Homam Corazza
Homam (HeadName? Who knows, it's already gathering cobwebs)
Brutal Earring (RAWR!)

Found a Salvage Linkshell (those bravos really gotta go).

Lvl'd a new craft from 0-65 (financing for mandau begins very soon).

Not the most impressive item in game but it's still the best trick attack piece for standalone trick attack, Today I got my Denali Jacket, and the best part about it is it's REALLY fashionable. I look GOOD wearing it, just like my homam legs.

So all in all a decent sunday to say the least.

Picked up a Brutal Earring and a Scouter's Rope. TA set is almost finished - just missing Skadi Cuirre & Mask and Hope Torque for a "perfect" TA setup. (Or reasonbly close enough to perfect for me).

In other news, 5th Floor Poroggo Madame is a bitch and she can go to Hell. She can go to Hell and die there. (0/3 - that is all).

Welcome to my world- 0/21 on my Enlil's Gambison and then when the guy who's in front of me gets his pants, I get to go back and do it all over again for mine...

She's a stingy little frog whore.

Today was an utterly phenomenal day.

1) Duofarmed Sea Serpent Grotto with a good buddy for four hours. Gained 7,600 limit points off of Decent Challenge sahagins while racking up 200,000 gil.

2) "Your Dagger Skill modification rises to level 5."

3) "Angina defeats Ose...You find an assault jerkin on Ose."

4) Received an invite to a Nyzul Isle Assault static. {I'm interested.}

5) Got a LS member his Moldavite Earring. 1/1 on Mysticmaker Profblix. :D

6) Dusk Trousers {mine}! My attack gear's about as optimized as it will ever get from the AH. When /WAR with food, Berserk, and Warcry, my attack is now 660. O_o

7) Parrying skilled up to 149, as well! Slowly but surely...

I think my THF knife ran out of charges... 1/8 now on floor 60 Nyzul. We actually had our MNK tank throw a hissy fit after the second win with no drop (both were horrible fights... cerberus spamming that stupid Stoneskin/blaze spikes move and the Hydra going invincible happy and gaining back heads for regain... we had 19 minutes when we reached him, we got 30 second warning when leaving...). We ended up moving up to floor 65 on that disk as our 3rd run and doing a 4 boss to see if we could with 5... naturally go Aspid, (for our melee burn style group) and still won... of course no drop again... I am starting to think that Nyzul is broken again... we are 2/11 for our last 3 sets of runs... I am going to die trying to get this Askar set done :(

The accomplishment you ask? I didn't break anything or drin heavily during the run... trust me... that is a HUGE accomplishment lol.

I believe I am currently 1/40ish on Denali legs dropping. (I didn't win lot on drop, which was on the second 40-floor run I ever did.)

Of those 40 wins, I'd say less than ten had no loot. So we have a lot of goliard and askar pants.

20 was all askar/denali: 8 Askar, 7 Denali, 2 Goliard - more runs than I can count... but are 'done' with the second goiard drop.
40 (so far) 2 Askar, 2 Denali, 1 Goliard - roughly 15 runs
60 (so far) 1 Goliard - 9 runs

I talked a little with the group today. To ease tension a little we are just going ot do a straight run to 100 over the next sets. See some new NM's, be able to farm any floor... and just enjoy the play and not the drops for a bit.

It's certainly not Homam by any means, but I'm preparing to level up my NIN a bit for CoP missions and did a straight three-day camp in Castle Oztroja, landing a total of 19 claims on Mee Deggi and Quu Domi across the span.

1/10 Ochimusha Kote, 1/9 Sarutobi Kyahan. Go me!
