Bringing down the sky

I enjoy sky. To some people, that's a crazy concept, but I really do like it. I don't mind camping Ullikummi. If it means I get to fight gods, then fine, whatever, I want to do it. And really that's what I look forward to. I want to fight gods. I love my shell (mostly) and it's nice to start with something from the beginning and watch it evolve. We started out barely making it through Genbu, and now we've taken down 3 of the 4 gods, Byakko being the only one we haven't been able to touch, but not because we can't, we just haven't had the opportunity. And we've been at Ulli nonstop lately with not much luck. I'd like express that I am REALLY proud of the shell. I can't be there all the time, but I am there when I can be. You all are magnificent. :)

Tonight we started off with a Genbu pop. We did great -- no deaths, fast, probably the best Genbu yet. I really don't know how many Genbu's we've done now, but a lot.I won the shield and the feet. Congrats to Ezd on the a.head :)

After Genbu, we went on to try our first Seiryu. I have to say it went really well. We got to watch a shell (I don't remember which now) that got there before us do it twice, and I think it really prepared us and gave us some confidence. I know there was a lot of doubts floating around beforehand. It also popped my stun gun cherry. :) There wasn't a lot of deaths, and we rose victorious.Congrats to Isollde on the w.hands. Sorry but I completely can't remember who got the sword and kote. (/ \)

I also finally decided to to use my three merits. I was going to wait until RDM was 75 to use them, but WHM needs some loving too. And sense I hate Protecta/Shellra V...

Goals

Having a static is nice. It gives you the ability to plan things, making it easier to achieve a goal. Not that it's impossible to reach a goal without the help of a set group, but it makes it so much easier.

Well, sometimes.

I happened to have met a great group of people while partying on my RDM. They made partying incredibly fun. We formed a little static. It ended up being that we only ended up exping for a couple of hours one night. For some of us, that wasn't fast enough. Essentially because the experience needed to level up at these levels is ridiculous that a couple hours just wasn't satisfying. Especially considering I want 75 as fast as possible. However, it was fun, and I'm sure that this isn't the end of everything. I have plans to get to 75 this weekend though, and the lowest level member was still 68-69 (I really can't remember now). Partying with people you enjoy being around is one of the best experiences in this game.

However, I did wish I would have had a static for my dark knight. I managed to get 31-32 on Saturday, 32-35 on Sunday, and 35-37 today. It took a little longer than I would have liked (I really would have liked to be finished over the weekend.), but it's done. My goal of being a stun gun is GO. :)

Next step will be finishing the last 1000 exp on my ninja to get to 37. Oh and getting Utsusemi: Ni.

This weekend my CoP static also started. Unfortunately, we started back at promies, but I'm not complaining much. I'd really like to go to see. Oh, and a Raja's Ring would be very nice. We got through Mea and Dem on Sunday, with just a minor set back on Dem, with plans to do Holla on Thursday. We normally run on Sundays, but because we didn't get all the promies done, we're finishing Thursday, and on Sunday we're doing 2-3.

It's a good group, we'll be in sea at no time.

Soloing

I've been hardcore leveling RDM over the weekends. I've really wanted to have a Lv.75 RDM for awhile now. I want to try to solo a lot of things. Well, not try, really solo and win. Not because I have something to prove; I know it's been done before. I just want to do it just because I can.

List of stuff to attempt in no particular order:

• Genbu
• Fenrir
• Shadow Lord (just because it looks fun)
• All of the avatars (probably pretty easy, but I want to do it anyway)
• Charybdis
• Hakutaku
• Bune
  

That's all I can think of right now. I don't even know how likely some of those are.

What it comes down to, really, is that I'm a thrill seeker. I love intense fights, epic battles, etc. That's pretty much my idea of fun.

Well, tonight ended with me getting 74 RDM. After getting 74, I decided it'd be grand if I leveled DRK a bit.
Only 5 more levels left. Just 5 more. Only 5 more.

Lack of adventures..

Lately I've found myself... speechless.

It's not that I haven't been playing. I have. And oh, have I. I've been doing a lot but...nothing interesting...

I haven't done ballista. I haven't even really been to sky lately (well that's really due to not having enough time). I haven't done dynamis. I haven't camped any NMs. I haven't done any BCNMs. I haven't done any missions. I haven't done any quests. I haven't found any cool ways to die.

All I've done is...level. Is that interesting?

I can't even really say I've had bad parties. I haven't really. None I can think of anyway.

So, what's there to say? Nothing really. Maybe I'll find something interesting tonight.

This adventurer needs some adventures.
