thistlechaserEdit: Ugh, Bleach 50 is horrible! Horrible! Horrible! What silly stuff in the middle of a serious storyline! Dudes, this Don guy is not funny! 51 better be better... Gah. (And now on to the FFXI part of the post!) Later: Woo, 51 was much, much better.
Nimbex (of CTY, sort of our "sister LS") organized a ZM5 run, and so those of us FI people (Cehra, Yossy, and I) who needed it went along. Stealthing is perhaps my least favorite thing to do on the whole game, so I knew this wouldn't be giggles for me. And while it wasn't, it was also not nearly as bad as it could have been (stealthing two full parties through three aggro zones (including IC) and getting aggro only once? Darned good!).
Before that main event Zubis (who is just way too nice for his own good) guided me to the ice headstone in, eh, Fiy'whatever. Fyi'whatever. That ice place. After the event a few of us went and did the LTP one, so now I only have to get the QSC one done. Sooner or later. Probably sooner I suppose, so I can hop in if a ZM6 run happens.
XP static didn't happen today, so instead we went eye hunting! Back into the Den of Rancor! Going in there twice in one weekend is two times too many. :P Tonberries went right onto my List.
The List
1) Ose
2) That tree NM in Jugner
3) Tonberries
Tonberries didn't even do anything to get themsleves onto the list, but I hate them anyway. They're ugly, evil, horrible, nasty little critters who are always skulking around.
Speaking of ugly! While we were eye hunting tonight, a Doom Toad kept watching us. That was the best screenshot I could get, since I didn't want to get into aggro range. They're like a big mass of... flesh. Wobbly, wiggling, jiggling, icky flesh.
Eye hunting went amazingly well, which was good because it was a pain in the butt to get there. We all got eyes, even me! So that's three I have, and wonderful BST Merlee is working on some of the ones I don't have yet. We even finished the night with two eyes dropping in a row!
While doing the LTP part of ZM5, we happened upon a certain fellow:
He died too fast for me to get a screenshot, and alas he didn't drop much of anything.
I must, must, must remember to work on clearing fomor hate. Some night this week. If I don't do it soon I'll forget I have it, then that'll cause trouble later. (Don't laugh at me for making a big deal about it, high level people reading this. Those mobs just barely stopped being EP to me, so they're still a bit of a challenge to kill. I can't just go out and "*wham*wham*wham* It's clear!" :). I don't mind doing it at all, just don't think I'm making a big deal out of "nothing". :)) (Edit: Ha ha ha. I think me apologizing/worrying too much is a sign of me being tired.)
So tired, so very tired. Long long day. :) Love all my LS people so much, even Niala and Aurian and their bull penis talk, and poor Zubis who had to drag me through ZM stuff. :)
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention! Muchly prompted by Zub (who knows these things), I've been working on getting my GS leveled. Tonight wasn't a great night for it. The mobs must have been too high, I think. Even though I connect now and then (about 1 hit in 5 swings), I got nearly no skillups. 3-4 hours and only got 3 levels. :/ But it's a start! I'm going to use it when we do Escort in CN, that should be the right level for this. Hm, actually not 3-4 hours. Near the end I got tired of hitting for barely double digit numbers and switched back to my scythe. Love my scythe so much! Love the LS so much! Love everyone so much! Love love love!

Date: 2005-10-10 02:48 pm (UTC)The TP thingie isn't usually there. I had to reinstall the Windower yesterday (I kept logging off to try to adjust things to how they had been, right up to the moment we headed out for eye hunting), and commenting out that party TP thing was something I hadn't gotten done yet. (I was much more concerned with the gamma/lighting thing and the window size.) But odd thing, I find I kind of like seeing the TP and mob's HP and such. :/ Sort of like how the Windower itself grew on me once I started using it.

Date: 2005-10-10 05:12 pm (UTC)Yeah, but I feel like I do, even in my own head. I don't want to break the rules! Honest! But I want to hurt my computer even less. The morally complex thing is that I'm liking the Windower (and the TP thingie), they're not just necessary.
I'm making a bigger deal about this than it deserves, I know. :P
