ahoy

Friends zephir/ventulus/khao/evgeni, flashman/zosch/jetzt, prophesy, and jisatsu/engage have migrated back to siren! They have their own ls, VirusLS- so we will probably be doing stuff with them in the future. (merging?)

Assault! we went and raped count dracula last night. Sim did a great job kiting, and we were able to win in about 15 minutes. AMAZING!

We got a random kclub drk to help us zerg another assault, but we wiped at ~20%. I'm sure we would have won if I had gone SAM, as my RNG did jack shit.

On the exp front, I was able to ding 66SMN on sunday, and I destroyed maat on monday. Darksday + Sleepga = hax.

I'm hoping to get some of the final assaults out of the way before Gren migrates to Diabolos. He will be missed.

Next static will probably be more informal than prior statics.

Jobs remaining until Maat's cap:

Circa: BST (60) BLM (48) RDM (41) DRK (67 - just need to kill maat)
Survive: BST (54) DRK (40) SMN (25) BLM (66 - just need to kill maat)

Congratulations to everyone~ we are now all First Lieutenants! While we will not be able to 4-man the last 5 assaults, we may have some of Grenkinne's friends help us out.

Also: Congrats to Sim for obtaining a Rajas! 6+ months of missions finally pay off! Sim's has pretty much obtained all the realistic gear he can.

We are nearing the end of the SMN/BLM/NIN/THF static! I hit 63 last night, meaning I only have ~75k exp left or so. Surv will probably switch to RDM when she hits 66, so she can grab some a few merits while I finish up SMN.

The next static will either a be similar combination of jobs (survive on SMN, myself on BLM, sim on a melee job, gren- on diabolos/ninja), or Surv on DRK and myself on RDM. All up to what we feel like playing, I suppose.

With us wrapping up Assaults, we should probably try to start up a Nyzul static, so those tags don't go to waste. However, with the new update next month, we may find ourselves with some new goals- some of the new augmentation gear looks pretty awesome.

finally

congrats to sim! After ~4 months of ENM, we got our second Hagun last night, and Simkiel was next in line. (Nice lot(11), lol) After acheiving T9, Sim was also able to score his Perdu Blade, effectively making him a Rajas Ring away from total Ninjar pimpage.

Speaking of Rajas... Sim is also very close to receiving his. His CoP static was able to destroy Tenzen on Monday, netting him sea access!

Sometime we will have to go farm some sea organs for the WS gorgets/elemental obis.

Oh, and our NIN/THF/BLM/SMN static is now 51- so close to the Aht Urgan Areas. I have about 64 levels to go before Maat's cap (~1M exp). Only a few months to go!

Congratulations T9!!

We were able to obtain T9 Second Lieutenant last night! Although the mini-games required to be promoted are long and someone pointless, they were quite easy to get through last night!!

Onward to FIRST LIEUTENANT and only 10 more assaults to go until we are CAPTAIN status!!

update

The lowbie static that we started last week has been going well, as we have gone from 31-44. Too bad it will only be smooth sailing for another 10 levels or so, and then we will have to get creative with party setups and camps. It is becoming more and more difficult to find a competent 6th member, so in old zones I have pretty much just given up. Too many people are afk while seeking, or princess players who are unwilling to sync or move out of their comfort zone. I think this attitude is part of what is killing this game.

Assaults are progressing smoothly! We won 3/4 tags last night, suffering our first loss in a long time. We are T8, with only 12 assault missions left until captain. Sim only needs T9, and he can get his Perdu Blade. He also finally beat U/O, so he is only a few CoP missions away from that almighty rajas.

ENM has continued to yield nothing. It has been fairly depressing.

Also, Grenkinne will be migrating to Diabolos whenever we achieve Captain rank. He will be missed.
