Wyrm kings and scorpions

No, not the really big one in Altepa.

At any rate, this past Thursday, Beyond took on ye olde wyrm king Bahamut for the first time in a couple months. This was my first time doing Bv2 (having cleared Bv1 during our last Bv2 sortie in September) and it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, he didn't put out any masks, but we came away with 2 scythes and 2 staves as well as some nice money drops.

As for scorpions, a few of us did some ODS runs last night to try and get Viewpoint (Snk) a Senjuinrikio for his up-and-coming NIN. No serket rings, but at least we got what we came for and came away with a couple of damascus ingots.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, it doesn't look like Beyond will have much going on this coming week outside of the usual einherjar and limbus. So what ever shall I do on those evenings!? Merit like a fiend most likely. I think I'll work toward pushing out DRG merits.

Speaking of DRG, I do believe I'm finally getting close to Drakesbane. After obtaining said WS, I'm debating whether or not to sell off my SAM gear and put it toward a Zahak's mail. Yes, I know, WAR and SAM are the "chosen ones" so to speak. But hey DRG is a lot more fun and you get a cool dragon that can heal you or your party members when their HP gets below a certain point! SAM has a big expensive meat cleaver and um... dancing?

Now, I'm supposedly first in line for the first Hofud that Odin coughs up. However, it's still up in the air as to who gets the first fork. A couple names came up, but they're almost never on DRG and/or have a relic in the works for another job. Given the option, I'd gladly trade off said sword to be able to get my hands on that kick-ass polearm. Not sure I'd call that equitable though. The v-fork is the third best polearm out there. However outside of a handful of situations, the hofud is just a trophy.

I know my DRG is less than "fork-worthy" in its current state, but it should be closer to that after our next couple of Odin fights. After finishing Nyzul, I intend to push out as many 80s as possible until that body drops.
