lol i wnt 2 dunz 2 pt lol wit my bffs lol

Oops, still have some Dunes stuck on me. *brushes it off* Oh what a happy day spent there. Two LS folks and myself joined up with a pre-made "party" of randoms. There were five when I joined: two WHMs and almost no DDs. The one RNG and one other person left to make room for my folks, which nearly wiped out our DD power. We were getting ~60 per multi-minute minute kill (with band), and the two random WHMs kept saying "lol perfect party lol" and "lol this so good lol". I was tempted to stab them with my harp, then I cried at just how manly of an image that would be.

Three and a half hours spent partying for 2.5K XP. I'd say "worst XP ever" but just the other day I got negative XP for hours spent in the Dunes. Why, why, why, why won't enough people go to Korr Tunnel and party there?

Amusingly: We three trioed for a half hour after the party and made an easy 1K XP.

Ah well. Besieged after that (only level 2, easy as pie. Got the max 300 XP/IS). Then farmed/crafted till my fingers bled (or at least turned numb). Ended up with 10 sets of powder boots to sell. Yay.

Then somehow another Besieged was ready! First thing I knew, they were advancing! Unfortunately I was in the middle of cooking dinner, but warped there anyway. Finished cooking and eating dinner, and somehow didn't die. (Level 3, got the max 400 IP/XP.) Even though there were 550 people in the zone, we nearly lost the Candysense again. o.O In the first 60 seconds of the event, two generals died! And a third right after! Sheesh.

Now I was about to log out to go to bed, but another Besieged is preparing. :/ I'm tired and should just log out, but the numbers had been rising fast. (Now they've slowed down, blah.) Could be another hour or more till it hits. :/ I'm less than 10K to totally capping DRK XP, so I kind of want to catch all the Besiegeds I can. Bah.

Edid: Hour later and they're at 119, just about to hit level 2. zzz I said I'd never stay up late for a Besieged again. I'm stupid. But now I've waited a whole hour and if I went to bed it'd be a waste, but it could be another hour or more till they attack. Mumble. Please attack soon, I'm tired.

Edit: Hour later and hit level 3. Not attacking. Stupid slacker beastmen. zzzz Watching a movie. If they don't attack by the time it ends, I'll go to bed. Maybe. (See also: pigs, flying.)

Edit, final: They're moving, yay. Nearly 3 hours after bedtime. However, to entertain myself, I went to the AH and added up the total cost of all my DRK armor I wear every day (not counted anything stored, no weapon included, no "show pieces" like my T Sting thingie, and O-Hat has no price so isn't included). Last sale price used). 33,430,000 gil. So I'm walking around wearing 33.5 million worth of stuff. I bet I easily have another 15M of stuff saved for capped events, too. If I ever quit DRK and sold all my stuff, I'd be one rich (and tired) player. zzzzz

Edit, or not!: Half-hour since they moved, and they still haven't attacked. *&%&$)!&% Stupid, stupid me should have gone to bed. 650 people in the zone, too. If POL crashes...

Real final edit: 4 hours after bedtime, all finished. Amazingly didn't DC, though R0ed a number of times. Got the full 600 XP/IS. If I ever, ever do something this stupid again, I hope someone unplugs my computer and sends me to bed. I suck at being a responsible adult. (I sure do love Besieged though. So much fun. :D )

Level 2 and 3s? Lakshmi's beasty-men haven't attacked with anything less than level 5s since maybe a week or two after Besieged started. x_x; Do they come back with less people once you've lost the candysense?

I kinda gave up on Besieged, waiting for it to start is such a waste of time X_x, faster exp from soloing EPs outside lol.

I think you'll find that stabbing people with a wind instrument is much more satisfying ;) For an added bonus, you can jam your flutes down their windpipes :D

Yeah, until the Candysense was stolen, we never ever had anything but 5s. Once it got stolen and returned, we actually had level 1s!

I keep meaning to try that, but I'm lazy and it's easier just to sit and wait. :P

*laughs* I'll keep that in mind.

Harp strings are handy for all your strangling and garrotting purposes as well (especially when taru BLMs decide to try to run out of range for ballad - there were times in the BLM pt at dynamis where I felt like a sheepdog)

I should know better than to go to bed early and leave you to yourself! Tch! *bopbopbops!* Sleep more! You'll feel better! >:|

Hmm that's a good point. Re-tuning the thing after you take care of the little "problems" is gonna be a pain though. ;)

How do you have 15m of capped gear?!

One piece alone is 6M. :/ I have a full set of stuff for 50 and 60 cap, and a mess of stuff for 30 and 40 cap. Blame CoP...

lol, you keep a haub around for level capped stuff? o.o I'm kinda glad I'm a mage, so much of my gear overlaps =P

Yeah. With CoP, having good armor even when capped was important. I really should finish it, so I can sell off my stuff. :/
