An addiction, I tell you! (RP, WoW, FFXI)

[thistlechaser]

I got so little RP today! Maybe a half-hour total of not so great quality stuff. *sniffles!* I need more! More! More! And better quality!

WoW-wise, lots of stuff happened since I last posted. Hit 77, got a loan from the wonderful kelen to cover the cost of my mount (paid back already, whew!). Yay speedyfast flying!

I pushed so hard to hit 77 that I said I was going to take a break from XPing. That was two days ago. Now I just need 5% more to hit 78, and I haven't gone XPing once. c.c So silly! The whole level was done through level 70 quests (working on my netherwing rep) and cooking/fishing dailies. I haven't commented on WoW being easy in a while (since I'm coming to like that), but this is just silly. XP is flying in while I'm doing nothing. (I wish I could say the same of gold. I'm barely over 1K now -- I think I'm hurting my pocketbook by "leveling" through these low level Outlands quests instead of Northrend ones.)

I'm very happy that the netherwing collection stuff (hides, pollen, crystals) can be gotten in advance. I have three days worth of pollen, 1.5 days of hides, and about three years worth of crystals stacked up (in case a night comes where I can't play long enough to gather them all). It's funny, I did the math and came out with about 16 days until I get that mount, and I actually whined about it. Oh nos! Just over two weeks to get something outstanding! /wrists

And speaking of... FFXI! Belatedly I found out marble sales had started already. (Wouldn't it have been funny if I had missed it, when the lottery is the only reason my account is still active?) I can't believe it took me an hour and a half to buy marbles on all my mules. Gah. It didn't help when my Jeuno mule got stuck in the damned ACP CS. Even though I had nothing to do on WoW, I was still mumbling at all the time it took. (Not to mention, I just cannot believe I forgot so many commands. "Why isn't m bringing up my map?!" "How am I supposed to reply to a /tell? r is doing nothing!!!" -- I had thought I'd go to my grave being able to play FFXI in my sleep.)

So all in all: blah night. I think I need to write down all my WoW dailies because I keep forgetting some of them (though the idea of that scares me, since it's FFXI-ish -- WoW is not and will not be work! I refuse to let it become so! My obsession with the netherwing-type crap is close enough to being a problem!).

Hopefully tomorrow I can find some better RP, either on MUX or WoW.

I really need to get to buying those marbles already. There is no way in hell I'll win over rank 5 but damnit I want one of those HNM statues! Do it for the statues vel!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Especially since I'm not playing and so don't need to worry about space I wanted to get them bought.

The statues are why I'm doing it, too! If I ever come back, I'd kick myself for not getting them.

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

Most definitely. Although I'm still kinda split on which one to get since I'll be guaranteed to win at least one of them. I mean, Fafnir is a dragon and that would look cool but Behemoth is pretty cool and he drops the defending ring which is like the tanking ring, period. But then Adamantoise is the only HNM I have ever actually fought and the turtle is like, the PLD in many ways. Gahhhh!

Mock PLDs are good in soup? o.Oa

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

When I always say: "Shadows won't save you now!" to PLDs and NINs it's not because they will die from AoEs. It's because they are about to be made into soup to feed the masses! Jesus did it with bread and fish, I can do it with NINs and PLD/NINs.

Ha ha ha ha. :D

But see, the Netherwing stuff is worth doing all the dailies every day. <_< And once you get exalted, you don't have to do them anymore. Repgrinds are like that. You do one, finish it. Do something else. Do a different one. Go do something else. :E I'm working on Tuskarr rep right now and there's only 3 dailies for me to do every day. So... I have 8 Tournament dailies and 3 tuskarr dailies... <_< Which will be down to 4 tournament dailies and nothing else in like... 10 days. XD I might go do the Ebon Blade dailies after that.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

That makes more sense than worrying about doing them all at the same time. I think Tuskarr was the one I keep forgetting! Is that the 'lead the bull seal to the cow seal' one?

And god, even to this day, Pokemon kills my spelling of things. I actually had to look up if seal or seel was correct!


Seel!

Have you taken a look at getting netherwing eggs? They're little eggs that are around the two areas that you're in disguise, and each one is 250 rep, not a daily quest either.

Look them up on Youtube, there's some videos that show where to go to search for them. =D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh, checking youtube is a good idea! I grab them when I see them, but I've only ever found three total. Last night I found one outside the mines, which surprised me! I had thought they were all only inside.

[achika-soladia.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm on my home computer, I have a bookmark to the video I used here.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wow. Best. Video. Ever.

I had zero idea there were so many spawn points! I'm going to start searching using that tomorrow. :D

Thanks!

See? I told you that after 77 the levels fly. :) Dunno why the others crawl, but those last ones sure don't.

I should really get off my butt and do the Netherwing stuff on Querlieque. Should, but I sure haven't been. She'd be my third alt through there is why. I use flight form so much I don't even use the bronze drake that I have. u.u

And I should also do the Tournament dailies too. 9.9; I've been such a lazy ass.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Dude! If I had the birdy flight form, I'd never use a mount either! That's the coolest thing ever. :D

And no way! I'll never believe you're lazy, not with all the alts you have. :D

So I can comfort myself with the fact that you weren't ignoring me saying hi, you're just forgetful? ^_~

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh ack, did you say hi? So sorry, I hadn't seen it! Maybe I missed it in zoning? (Not to harp on the differences, but in WoW you don't miss stuff in zoning! There's not much zoning to do, but when you do, communication is saved until you finish! It rocks!)

I hope I didn't miss anyone else saying hi. D:

[kamalloy.livejournal.com]

Possibly, although I didn't get a message that you were unavailable.

FFXI is actually better about keeping communications than Guild Wars is. I'm always worried that I'm missing something when I zone. There's a lot of lag when you enter a city. But the more that gets saved, the better!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Possibly, although I didn't get a message that you were unavailable.

Do you get them when someone is zoning though? Or maybe just sometimes?

[kamalloy.livejournal.com]

You usually get them when someone is zoning. It's entirely possible that my /tell got lost in the hordes of marble-buying. ^_~

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Either way: D: Sorry I missed you!
