Update

Our start in Nyzul was pretty rocky. People showed up late, or were missing tags. Last Saturday we had our first real run. We did the 11-20 run with minimal effort, then tried 16-20 one last time, cause nothing dropped from Behemoth. We only got 2 floors in, due to a kill all enemies on an undead floor with a dahuk, and the next floor, we had to kill 5 chariots. Nyzul is not nearly as fun as salvage or assault. Also, not having Gren is a significant drawback.

We were able to get Sim an obow yesterday after several hours of camping. Congrats!

I've been trying to kill BLM Maat for some time now. Seems I always get resisted on one of my first 3 nukes. Not fun. Seems I suck at jobs that can use Elemental Magic.

Surv and I joined a KS99 group, looking to spend some of the seals that have added up over the years. We will see if we can get some BB items out of it.

The new dredg album, 'the parrot, the pariah, the delusion', leaked yesterday. I've been listening to it nonstop. It's awesome- not as good as el cielo, but still better than catch without arms. someone described it as 'the el cielo for people who liked cwoa'. I find that analysis fairly accurate.

new static

Surv and I destroyed maat on ninja and war, bringing our total maat jobs to 11/15!

Our new setup will be Ninja (Gren), Thief (Simkiel), SMN (Circa), and BLM (Survive). While I don't know how efficient this setup will be, we will give it a shot anyway. Hopefully it will work until 55...

We will probably do some Assaults tonight. This will bring us to T7+10/25, bringing us ever closer to perdu weapons.

I did salvage with Revelations last friday, and scored some lol15usukanelegs. Apparently everyone else had the drop, so it was nice. We wiped on LAC.

ENM on Thursday, exp all weekend. Maybe ISNMs if Cheki joins us.

victory

Last week we attempted to do the Leujoam Sanctum T3 Escort Assault. We attempted to leeroy it, and it did not turn out well. Yesterday we came back for a second shot at it. Sim led the charge as Ninjar, Gren came as Thief, Surv and I came White Mage (repose spam) along with Cottoneyejoe, who also needed the win. Sim and Gren, with their movement speed+ gear, went and trained most of the mobs around the zone. Surv, Cej, and I took turns sleeping mobs that were in the path of the NPC. Fortunately Gren and Sim were able to stay on top of Reraising themselves, so us white mages could sleep. Sim and Gren each died at least once, but we were able to get the win, thanks to their sacrifice. This was the final T3 fight, so we all (including Cottoneyejoe) were able to rank up to T4 Lance Corporeal (Gren was able to rank-up to T5). Congrats!

Over the weekend, Survive beat Maat on Samurai, and I beat him on Ninja. We now have 10/15 Maat jobs. All Right! We are now all geared up and ready to go for the THF/NIN/WAR/RDM static, which is now 52 (400 tnl), hoping for 54 (yay birds!).

Sim's dynamis shell has been flakey lately, so I'm not sure if he has that tonight or not. If he doesn't get dragged to that tonight, I'm thinking we can burn the rest of our tags in Assault, then hit up some ENM. If Sim is busy, perhaps Gren, Surv, and I can burn Under Observation.
