Hopefully soon
Another Tuesday full of fun and excitement. As the night wore on we had a pretty good turnout in Lumoria. Unfortunetly, Kyliee wasn't able to make it and she has the majority of our complete tier two jailer sets. It turned out I only have half sets. A lot of one deed, but lacking the corresponding virtue. We kept to the weaker stuff for the night. As we were nearing the end of farming people told me that they had a few complete sets. Oh well, hopefully we will have a decent turnout next week and knock a few tier twos off.
Einherjar went off without a hitch this week. The majority of people were in Hazhalm early enough for parties to be quickly organized. I also found out I can get to Hazhalm in less than five minutes if I don't stop over and do things in Nashmau. We entered pretty fast and were rewarded with a large collection of skeleton warriors and krakens. The first series of astral flows were shakey. Quite a few people didn't properly position themselves around the pulling paladin beforing unleashing their avatar. This ended up with some of the mobs scattering to chase an avatar or summoner. A few deaths happened, but with a little more experience should go smoother.
Our boss turned out to be the oboron again. With mainly Garuda being used it went down at a steady rate. No kiting was required and deaths were relatively few. The majority of deaths was caused by summoners going into aoe range without stoneskin. The oboron ended up dying with four minutes or so left on the clock. Three oboron meat dropped unfortunetly. One more win to be on wing two, but I suspect we will be doing wing one at least once more before we have enough people to move on.
Limbus is looking positive again. We have been regularly lacking two tanks for Ultima, so Temenos chip sets have been collecting dust. Damsonrhee finally finished leveling her paladin, so at least every other weekend when she doesn't work we should be able to do Ultima when Strayfax is home from school. This, of course, is assuming we have white mages since I don't like risking chips without them. The problem is we have fourish white mages that do Limbus with us, but lately none of them have been reliable because of non-FFXI things.

I should have turned shadows off. Lag was worse than normal when a lot of summons were floating about. |
