Catching My Breath

Helping Datsuki gain nine levels in a week in a half is something that I didn’t mind doing; truth be told, I love being able to help her and stuff. But, because of the limited free time I had to do other things, it did mean that I had to live with the fact that my funds/time had to be prioritised and sacrifices had to be made – I’m looking at you D2 and Sleep II :/ – for the greater good. So if you were to party with me during that time you most likely would have seen something akin to the following:

Sowwy~ (*>_<)

The same goes with equipment, although we’re only really talking about a Mohbwa Scarf +1 and some Magic Slacks; which I could live without ’til 50. :x

There is one piece of equipment, though, that I refused to ding 47 without. >:O

So I figured that, since I had four or so hours to spare, I’d head to LoO (once I remember how to get there :x) to see if I couldn’t rip myself that said equipment from the ear of a dead, Goblin shaped corpse. :D …

As you can tell from this rather crappy picture I had some competition to deal with so I was very happy to get the claim and drop on my first attempt. @_@;

After that it was back to the intense levelling. No mob was spared in our hurried crusade to get Datsuki to level 50 in time for her CoP battle. Along the way I managed to fully utilise the joys of MBs, Aspir and run into Serket no less! :o

There she is! :D And there’s…*stares* er…Sddshufiex fighting her like a champ. He sounds legit. :O

Anywizzles, after many long nights of levelling, Datsuki finally attained level 50 and the world could surely hear us sigh in relief.

It was after this that I didn’t play the game for a little over a month. It’s rather hard to denote the passing of time on such a scale in writing, but in an attempt to give you a feel for it I shall soon type four spaced ellipses, separated into a set of two by a picture of one man’s attempt to dance in the most dangerous fashion possible for no apparent reason. I’ll also be asking you to utilise the power of your imagination…now!

I did, of course, make my way back for the anniversary event where we all have a good chuckle at how many times we’ve died; which is 74 times in the space of four months for me, in case you’re wondering.

And how could I resist the lure of logging on to throw my money at a moogle in exchange for Mog Bonanza marbles soon afterwards? Well, I couldn’t, so that’s a rhetorical question.

It was also nice to see that the LS hadn’t changed. Amith was still bored and was still trying to amuse himself but just ended up amusing me more in the process. D:

Silly Amith.

When I finally did ease myself back into playing at the start of June, it was to camp Intulo for his Magic Slacks – the thought of an eft wearing slacks still amuses me – alas, I went 0/10 on those things so I gave up. (*^_^)b

Soon afterwards, Datsi and I decided that we should take a trip to the past; since we hadn’t yet done so on those respective characters. But just because we hadn’t travelled to the past as Tarus didn’t mean we weren’t well aware of how delicious we would seem to the high level mobs that inhabit the zones that lay beyond the ‘Cavernous Maw’ standing adjacent us. It was for that reason that a ‘debate’ took place as to who should enter first.

My argument was decisive:

But before I could shove Datsi into the maw I, myself, started to be pulled into its gaping jaws, yo.

However, so many perils have met Garcie in his adventuring career that he seems to have become somewhat reticent to the whole ordeal. I dare say I almost shed a tear as I watched his cute self be apathetically pulled into a different plane.

Once inside, we made our way to The Eldieme Necropolis [S] and then, er…made our way back. ^_^;

If anyone tells you that we came back because we were scared they’re filthy liars and you should pay them no mind.

No mind!~ *shakes fist*

It wasn’t too long afterwards when I obtained my final piece of RSE and, with the help of Datsuki, was lucky enough to bag myself a Sweet Sachet (lame pun intended); which is INT+2 in the ammo slot for those not in the know. Do I need more INT? No. But then again neither do you so get out of my face. >:O

The result of all this crazy gear was that I was able to unleash ‘cool’ MBs onto my foes once I got back into levelling, passed G1 (thanks to Millionsknives again for that. :x), hit level 51 and could subsequently tag a shiny Ice Staff into my Freeze macro.

I say shiny but, really, they’re not so shiny as I was in fact given five staves once used by Chibimoon; along with, er… a *checks notes* Red Cape +1 and a Morion Earring which I forgot to mention previously. That did indeed help me out much, money wise. Thanks to to Millionsknives/Barthezz for letting me borrow a Wisdom Ring also. *pulls collar* ^_^;

I also thought that it would be a good idea to get Garcie Aht Urhgan access since his level was slowly approaching the mid fifties. But, of course, one of the best things about gaining access is that I get to needlessly spam crappy spells during Besieged in order to cap my skills. Woo! :D

Well…I must admit that I did feel kinda bad just standing there spamming dia and bio. It was for that reason I decided to bite the bullet, hit Elemental Seal and cast Freeze on the {Mega Boss}.

Crap.

No-one else saw that, right? >_>;

Anyway! Join me next time where you’ll no doubt get to witness me do something crazy like eat a…cake…covered in…I don’t know where I’m going with this. Basically, I’m just asking you to read my next post if you’d be so kind. ~_~

Until then! Ciao and/or that and thanks for making it this far down the page!~ (^_^)/

Unless you’ve just skipped the whole post and scrolled down to this here sentence.
