1st King body! (took 5years!)

I finally got me a king body! Never got on on Gorokai on Odin, never got one on Nivaud on Bismarck... took me 6 months but I finally got one on Mauller on Cerberus. The other morning I stayed up real late and XP'd only to pass out on my couch after signed a Vermillion Cloak (NQ booo). Got a skillup tho on Errant Cuffs so that might be promising moving forward.

I awoke to a tell that was Aspidochelone! Get here! So I checked thinking, "Damn, this popped while I was asleep and got killed" and sure enough, it was up still and being fought. I quickly OP'd to Cape Terrigan and found out that it ate up a smaller LS who tried to low man it and we got it once they wiped. I got there and it was at about 75% and we took it down no problem.



I was called for W Body because I had W and A bodies down on my wishlist and looking at the group of people their... I was probably up for either body drop. W dropped and I got to lot it and quickly rushed over to Sandy to get it uncursed.




That was a nice start to to a long day :)

I've had other goings on, like killing KB (no D Ring... ofcuz)


Also did some of those Beadeaux [S] and Castle Oztroja [S] NMs, the second will need a full entry unto itself, but here's what we fought in Beadeaux [S]


Didn't drop the torque, tho it was a fun low man (and woman) fight. More to come on the Castle Oz NM next time...

I got Cuecue's 75SMN her horn as well as slob Mauller his horn as well.



Finally, after camping SW and realizing I had no Allied notes, I picked up doing Campaign again, but I still get /facepalm at some people who are DRKs with stun who never learn



And on a final note... how things should be:

6th time's a charm

I've beaten ACP 2x before but it was the 6th time I tried it I finally won and was able to get the body that I wanted. I wasn't happy with the Pet:Crit Attk/Double Attk+ stat mostly because it never proc'd. Well this time (hopefully the last time) I got the Royal Redingote with acc stats.


We absolutely destroyed it without breaking a sweat with PLD/RDM, RDM/DRK, RNG/WAR, COR, SMN, SMN. All aga's were stunned, PLD wasn't charmed once... Just a smooth run all around. I was glad too because the previous 3 runs were ugly losses. Anyways, now I can be done with that fight (unless I suddenly wanna try to get the body for BLM or RDM...).

I haven't really gotten much else in terms of gear. I got A Feet to drop for Mauller and A Hands to drop for Cuecue but neither of those pieces are super high priority pieces. I did claim a Sandworm on Wednesday and we got nice drops!



Greats Wolf on harness and Sondogg on tatlum. I've been leveling Cuecue's RDM to 31 and SCH to 28. Mauller finally got his Freeze II capped so now BLM is officially done. Full INT, Elemental, Enfeebling, Ice/Thunder Elemental Magic and Burst II/Freeze II. Now I can choose to finish SMN (need about20 merits or so to finish it out) or start back in with RDM (need about 40-45 to finish).

Hoping soon for:
  • A. Body
  • Bahamut's Staff
  • Summoner's Horn
  • Summoner's Doublet
  • Sorcerer's Petasos-1
  • Sorcerer's Tonban-1
  • Nashira Gages
