Well, we beat Odin last night

...but we got the worst loot pool conceivable!! H.Body, D.Feet, and P.Legs. Got the dead sexy title at least.

Real progress!

As of yesterday, I am 1/5 of the way through the hellhole that is Nyzul Isle. I'll be cracking off my first Expiacion/Drakesbane/Atonement soon enough! I still need a windslicer for SAM and a death sickle for DRK at some point though that'll be a while.

Dark knight revisited

After completing STR merits, I decided I was going to do something I'd wanted to do for a while - take DRK to 75. I've been exping on it in between events and KV camps and it's currently at 45. Yeah, I know... still a way to go. I need to ding into that abyss burgeonet that rotted to me in Xarcabard the other day.

As far as merits go, I still have yet to finish divvying up my combat merits and will likely hold off on that until I finish DRK. I must be crazy leveling this since my LS has 2 stage 4 scythes in the works, both of which looking to finish by year's end.

I can't say I'd NEVER get to use it, since I've been on SAM a number of times over the past couple months, even with an amano. Lately however, my PLD has been taken out for a spin for one or two events each week since getting those speedy pants. And yes, it still has zero merits put into it. Now I really, really, really hope I don't end up having to tank Odin next time we fight him. I may have been rebuilding my PLD in the past couple weeks, but I am nowhere near comfortable with that fight. If I do end up with such a burden, I'll be forced to rage-log that night.

Ludicrous speed! GO!

So tonight Beyond went up for a jaunt in ye olde Tu'lia and we beat on a few sky gods.

Once we murdered them for their items and seals (Byakko was spared however), it was off to go a couple rounds with our old pal, Kirin in the bowels of Ru'Avitau. Do we TP burn it as per our usual encounters? No. We do it 2004/Fisher-Price sky shell-style and kite it. I hope this doesn't become the norm. So damn boring. >_> In those situations, I'd just grab my DS and look at the screen every so often.

After we won on the first, this happened.

And the second one....

Now to hold on to this for 6 months until I can snag an HQ. Yes, I went there.

So of course this means I won't have enough points for those homam cosciales when we fight Omega this Sunday. Considering how often we fight Kirin vs Omega, and the fact we haven't seen a pair of c.legs in a while (not since I've been in the shell), and the fact it benefits every job of mine except SAM, I think it's a worthy trade-off. I can still try and cash out what I have for the hands though. :P

So apparently we're lacking people with those speedy pants to serve as runners for those situations where we kite and it drives Vandyr nuts. So it looks like every so often I'll be called upon to do the "Behemoth relay" in future meetings with ol' Chlevnik. PLD for life eh? Not my damn fault if you like putting your alliance in grave danger. Hey, some people actually get their rocks off that way.

I guess this means I'll have to give a flying fuck about my PLD and merit the damn thing. On the subject of merits, I am now 4/5 on STR merits and need 6 more to finish it off. Maybe I'll do HP after that. We'll see.
