NM Fun ><

I have a festering hate for NMs. They either don't drop the item I'm looking for or totally obliderate my party and me ><. Being recently emancipated from my exams and school, I had a hearty day of FFXI yesterday. So lets begin.


Woke up at 6am since I couldn't sleep anymore and started the day by lvling WAR witj a JPN party in the Quicksand Caves. Everythings going fine until I see our puller pulls something called the "Nussknacker". I thought to myself, WTF is this? Nut snacker? I don't have a good feeling bout this... After a desperate effort, we manage to dint it a whooping 2% damage and he proceed to kill us all. I died, rez-ed back up, and justed watched the carnage unfold.

Only the RNG who pulled it avoided dying. We escaped in battle but the BLM died in mid-Escape lol. Stupid NM ><.

After the party I logged off until I signed back on later in the night to hang with my good friends shown above. We skilled up in Kuftal Tunnel and they were nice enough to help me with WAR AF2. Oh yeah, same morning I did WAR AF1 with Andy. So 2 AFs in one day, niceness.


After finishing WAR AF2, we decided it would be fun to take on Leviathan. Ho-ho. What a task. Not everyone could enter so it ended up being Me (PLD65), Yellow (WAR61), and Cro (SMN75). How did you think it turned out?

Yep. Murder. Lol. I died 3x times in 2 tries. We didn't have enough MP or HP to outlast big L's Spring Water. But, good fun still. We rained checked it for Sunday evening. We're coming back for ya Leviathan ><. Stupid summon NM.

Since I didn't have a ready Warp Cudgel on me at the time, after the failed Leviathan fight, I got a Tele-Holla and was on the way back to Sandy when I came accross... Bloodtear. After a long fight (we estimated Bloodtear to have 18000+ HPs), he dropped... his horn. No Viking Shield ><>

Perhaps I should do my Purple Belt quest now hm? orz

Ended the night on a good note. Deidogg gave me my finished WAR AF2 Feet!

In other news... I think I met Coldwind's long lost cousin. High Wind!

Lol.
