TN might last a bit longer than I suggested in my previous post. After an extremely long wait for limbus to start (downtime for ~3 hours), they cancelled the run. However, a SMALL group of them did SALVAGE. FINALLY, an event that I actually want to do- and we did it with 8 people. We did SSR, and the run was pretty rough, as I was pretty rusty on pulls, and it was Sim's first salvage run. We also didn't get any drops, so that didn't help at all. But at least we did a run.
I went as thf, which was pretty lame, as I'm not really geared/macro'd for it. I threw together some crap, and it sorta worked, but my damage was pretty lame. This makes leveling mnk even more important.
Sim wants to do Contaminated Colosseum for his last brown belt item, so we will probably hit that up soon.
We were able to get through floor 75 in Nyzul, so we only have 25 floors left. Synergy missed the last 15 floor climb, so he will have to make them up. Surv and I are going to Oregon this weekend, so we will resume Nyzul on the 11th of July.
As long as last night's salvage run wasn't a tease, once Nyzul wraps up, we will probably break this shell. However, it's a bit too soon to make that call. If we do break, we may reform in the fall once surv has a normal schedule. This split shift crap is severely draining her.

bst
hurray for level sync, anniversary rings, and bst burn pts!
The last few days have been great for bst, as conditions have allowed us to get surv (syncee) from 54-59! Sim dinged 75 yesterday on bst, congrats to him! I am at 64, meaning I only have 2 levels left until Maat's cap! That should only be one or two more bst burn parties for me!
Surv's last week as a substitute teacher is this week, so she is excited to be done with her classroom of ill-mannered, sniveling dirt children. She was able to land a summer job, so she will be in training for that on the next two saturdays. Because Nyzul Isle is on Saturdays, we will push this back to Sunday for two weeks, and just farm boss floors- as hellslayer (UK) will not be on.
I was able to destroy Maat on RDM on Sunday (I took a 18 damage Stone III), meaning BST and DRK are my only two Maat fights remaining. Oddly enough, Surv has the same two fights left as well.
After Maat's cap: Sim, Surv, and myself will probably apply to TwilightNocturne.

interesting saturday
This past saturday was... interesting.
We started off with an ENM run (yay... galatia...), and proceeded to do Nyzul. Synergy was at floor 10, so we started there. We were able to do floor 10-25 with 4 tags. Things ran extremely well. We had to redo a 21-25 floor set due to unlucky conditions- the worst of which was a chariot family kill. We simply cannot kill those fast enough. Lamps+gear floors are also terrible. Regardless, it was a very smooth run, and Synergy appears to be exactly what we need.
Great start to Saturday, then we moved on to our planned KS99 run. We did some runs 2 weeks ago, and things went alright- so we thought we would give it another shot, only with a different fight. Only 5 people from the original group were available, and /shouting yielded a fresh crop of players. This was the worst BCNM run I have ever attended. Surv went as pld (which she hadn't touched in well over a year), and I went RNG. Surv had a 15k buffer... and DELEVELED after TWO orbs. A raise put her back to 75, but we had enough at that point. Garik, the leader, is a great player, but some overzealous DDs led to a ton of MPKing.
Will have to obtain BB items some other way, I suppose.
Exp Static update:
Surv: 47DRK
Simkiel: 68MNK
Circa: 59RDM
I have 13 levels left until Maat's Cap! Huzzah!

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.

nyzul
Starting Saturday, April 18th at noon, we will attempt to start Nyzul Isle Investigation. As of this posting, the goal is to do runs every Saturday at Noon (PST). This is subject to change or cancellation due to real life activities. Notification of any changes will be posted on the Linkshell message.
Job assignments are as follows:
Simkiel: Ninja
Survive: Red Mage (maybe Thief for boss floor sets)
Circa: Samurai
Yamigarasu: Red Mage
Hellslayer: Black Mage
Synergy: Blue Mage/Thief (boss floors)
Our floor progression will be 0-100.
You will be responsible to read up on Nyzul and make the necessary preparations. You will be expected to sneak/invisible yourself. Slowing the group down by relying on others abilities will often result in failed runs.
After finally obtaining a decent static, it appears that Askar/Denali/Goliard drops will just be distributed in pickup-style: At the beginning of each boss run, everyone picks a piece that can drop. If that piece drops, only the people who have chosen said piece will be allowed to lot.
So far, we have obtained 2 pieces of nyzul armor:
May 16: Askar Feet > Circa
May 23: Denali Feet > Simkiel
If you have any questions, please send me a /tell in-game.
