thistlechaser | FFXI/LS people: Want to try something?

(Sorry to non-players who aren't interested in this stuff.)

While reading a post by my wife-to-be, I cleverly spotted a screenshot of a NM! Stubborn Dredvodd! (Screenshot is

abiona's, not mine.) Because we all know I can't leave any NM unturned, I was thinking about riding the barge for a while to try to get him.

Smart-Thistle . o O ( Hmmm, perhaps you might want to check what level he is first? )
Stupid-Thistle, "Rarr! Let's go! No need to check! Kill kill kill!"
Smart-Thistle . o O ( Dude, we're at work, you can't log on for hours, just look him up now! )
Stupid-Thistle, "Rarr! Let's go! No need to check! Kill kill kill!"
Smart-Thistle beats Stupid-Thistle down, then the two go off and have make-up sex.

So anyway! He's a "challenge" for a WHM 50, so a DRK 61 should do fine! (Smart Thistle facepalms.) But while looking at his level, I checked out his drops. Gargoyle Boots! DRG only! (Enchantment: Wyvern gains effect of "Stoneskin".) So maybe Aurian or Cy would like them!

And to kill even more birds with one pebble, we could kill things to get that wood for anyone who wants to do the Teak Me To The Moon (Stars?) quest!

So anyone interested? You can even fish up interesting stuff on the barge! (You'll need CoP access for this.)
