Playtime = X

Lately, the reality of real life has been kicking in and I have found myself with little to no playtime. Christmas break is about 3 weeks away, but nearly 30 pages of exams and term papers stand between me and a winter's worth of FFXI and money-makin'. Its frustrating not being able to be online all the time like I used to be, but winter will be a different story.

CK had been running apollyon again and downed omega for some decent drops. Congrats to Eulore (Homam pants) and Zylia (Homam booties). No recent claims to talk about on the HNM front (lots of controversy in kings camps lately), but we're still at it and hopefully we get one soon.

Other than that its just our same routine until winter break hits. Our college students are cramming and trying to finish the semester strong, so we should be trying some new exciting stuff once we're all free from RL's grasp for awhile. Ranka out-

Rollin' Right Along

New Try Outs:

Try Outs Passed:
Tomasello
Uliwela


The Action-


Thursday, CK fought kirin melee burn style. This was our second attempt with this strategy and it all came together for us in a big way. Once his minis were down, Kirin himself died in 5 minutes of damage from our melee team. Not too shabby for a group with no Ridill warriors. Drops were shining cloth and ingots, which will be put towards gil split this month.








Our limbus division hit up Omega this week as well and struck gold on drops. Congrats to Moriarti (Homam Body), Daodao (Homam Feet), and Eulore (Homam Feet). One more trip through Apollyon and we're back to Temenos for a rematch with Ultima.






Fafnir had himself quite a week, proving to be a royal pain for several claiming shells, even flailing once before the Element group managed to take him out. Despite his nastiness, CK claimed him once again and managed to bring him down cleanly in ~40 minutes. Someone counted around 14 wings, 3 of which happened in a row at one point, but that didn't stop us. This was claim #3 since CK underwent some serious changes a few months back and we have yet to lose to Fafnir or Nidhogg...knock on wood.






Drops were Aegishhelmetofenmityness (Eulore), Andvaraglovesofgilness (Zylia), E.Hands (Nomar) and a dragon talon for gil split. No CK Ridills yet...










Winter break is just around the corner now too. Once our college crew is home for break, we'll be attempting some bigger, more challenging fights.
