Silk of the Butterfly

Found the Serpent Plate costume for really cheap!  Hopefully next box will reissue Gloriosa and I'll be caught up with "new" costumes!

Attended one last Circus run with character when he finished his Expert stance.

Then massacred vesps until he was Master.

I think between the two characters I probably vesped for five hours in total*.  Not bad at all to get them to the Master level they ended at and roughly 36 hours between the two to get all stances maxed (including Expert).  I had fun with this project!  Didn't think it was going to finish in three days, but it happened!  \(^.^)/

*I probably wouldn't have done all this vesping if I wasn't able to kill them 10-15 seconds.  If I had Level 12 ET and UD wings or other potions I might have been able to do it even faster.  I heard of people vesping in 5 seconds.  So pro.

Clan raids got me the Pisces I needed!  Now just need three Scorpios and five Taurus!  Also got a Le Scarce too!  :D

Did a Griffon instance which gave me two Constellation Boxes and even Rafflesia which gave me one Box (it never gave me boxes all the previous times, so I hadn't been keen on going).  Alas, no symbols that I needed.

WC Frustration, Again

Feels like I've been raiding all day...

Did another half awake BH Occulta run, but managed to stay alive during the run.  Even did Circus half awake.  Then I went to lay down for twenty minutes.

There were two ToC runs today, which I did not triple WC at either of them.   I'm really starting to think I will never WC at ToC.  People always want fast runs and because I'm not good enough at it, I don't get to do it and practice.  I guess it means I broke my promise which really upsets me because I don't like to break promises.

Helena maxed out and now I don't know who to replace her with to take to ToC (again, since I am never going to be a WCer of choice, got to find another team to take).  Usually the support roles are taken, otherwise I could take Mia, Lorch, Grace, and/or Vince.  I even have a Master Idge, but I don't have a 3AR polearm.  I don't want to take Ralph because he's at Master 9 and I want to save some levels for him for next patch.

I was able to use Abyss at Prison but I couldn't tell if I did damage because that spot still gives me lag.  Got three MQs compared to the one I got yesterday.

We very quickly assembled a squad for a Viron Crow run.  The mobs in there were Level 126 and I got two Naraka pieces.

We did Clan Raids after this.  Taichou asked me to WC.  Which I was crappy at.  Someone pointed out that I have horrible aim (which further upset me) and asked me where my GC Wiz was.  I said I don't have the MQs to craft it and then they said I should just buy it from the market.  Even if I had MQs I would still have to get those crystals.  I just don't have the kind of resources the high end players have to do things quickly.  Everything takes me months to make and upgrade and chip to decency (even then it's still not decent).

I guess if people think it's that important to craft the GC, then I regret that I FCed for it.  Perhaps I should return it to the clan so someone else can craft it first.

CM gave me eight and four chips on the first boss first run.  Second run gave me nothing.

Ended the evening with Rafflesia which only gave me a Mega Talt from the Treasure Chest.

Blah.

I just want be able to do triple WC at ToC.  :<  I'm useless.  This is really eating at me.  :<  Why can't I be good at something in this game?

A Celebration?

I just realized today marks my third month in Halcyon Clan!  :o

Today was raid filled because supposedly it was a lucky day.
For me it was kinda break even.  ^.^;
I had fun though!  :D

Circus, CM x2 (I really need to get MQ!!!), Prison, Griffon (one Constellation box), Rafflesia (no box), Scharf (one Constellation box).  I think the trick is that the Blue Crane needs to be in close proximity during the raid or else I don't get a Constellation box (hence, none from Raff).  The lucky buffer pet got me a Scorpio!  :D  And the other was a Capricorn.  Much later in the evening I also went to Medusa.  Ana even got a WC on Medusa.

Might have missed listing another raid, but my secretary is away and I can't function without them.  :x

Thirty-two Level 100 chips to go!!!

New Difficult Project!

Prison went all right, although this raid is starting to lag on me again.  I *think* I killed all the left side mobs in the first room.  I *think* I killed the left Elite.  The Elite Bio was acting goofy and started going on a field trip, away from its usual spot.  I was running out of buffs, but had too many mobs on me that I didn't dare to stop to buff until reinforcements came.  I saw an Elite Fang of Steel flash on the roulette, but it was not meant to be.

CM didn't give me any chips today.  Chagrin!

Because I had time to kill before FF buff, I decided to do BH Occulta and Sedecram.  I forgot to put armor on Geia, so she died while Ana floated to the warp.  I had to SC and Geia's character icon was blacked out.  >.<;  I could put armor on her but I couldn't get her to Moonlight stance.  I had to let her get killed by Nechro so I could res and get her back on Moonlight.  I was too lazy to rebuff Flare, so I made do with only Principal and Strategy on Geia.  I goofed up at Sedecram too, as I forgot to have a White Gold Bar on me for a second Occulta.  >.>;

BUT!!!  The other account got a Silver Earring from Sedecram roulette (unpaid)!  *_*  Wow, awesome considering it's only my fourth solo BH run!  *does a couple ferret flips*

I also attempted Rafflesia, but no luck with Constellation box.  I swear my Blue Crane needs to be present when I do this raid for loot drop buffing!!!  *pout*

El Pat FF treated me kindly.  :)

I was done for the day.  :o

Or so I thought.  :o

I got out of the shower and saw in clan chat that Ophi-taichou was going to do the FC for the GCr Wiz and asked who wanted to witness the FC.  I had put in for it because I became eligible.  We sent in our top three numbers.  Two of my numbers were selected by others already, so my lowest number was my FC number.  >o<  I didn't think I was going to have a chance.  I made Salazar (Jose) and Dietric (Lorch) (who I had just taken out of SA Caeb to witness) do the Praying pose and I even turned on the game music (usually I have it on mute).  My number came up on the fifth FC.  *_*  But taichou kept FC'ing until Lab-puppy-san said, "a ferra ganho".*  ^.^;

"Only" 753 Mega Quartz, +7 Le Scarce, +7 ELB, and 50 Gold Ancient Relics to go.

Give me another year to accomplish this.  LOL

But I'm happy.  It's a sign that I need to work on WC for ToC.  :o ~!   AHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE!

*My Portuguese is poor, but "ganho" looks like the French "gagne" and Spanish "ganar", so I figured puppy-san meant "win/won".

Just something random that still makes me laugh when I read it.

Charging Forth as Only Ferrets Do!

I find myself getting sloppy in Circus because it feels like it's not a challenge anymore and I begin to make silly mistakes and nearly letting Claudia get killed by Arsene's debuff.  >_>;

I went and tried to solo Bounty Hunter Occulta and Sedecram.  I thought for sure I was either going to die or take 20 minutes to finish.  Who knew...  It took less than five minutes each.  O.o!

Also tried out Rafflesia.  I. will. never. open. a. Constellation. box. without. my. Blue Crane.  It was an Aries!  Whee!  \(^.^)/

Prison!  We were supposed to have five people in the squad, but the room was unintentionally started with three.  I went to take on the right Elite but had to go back to left for the other one.  It was a bit horrible because I hadn't had practice solo'ing an Elite.  By the time I got to the left side I was getting attacked too much and died and didn't get to buff and SC'd four times.  But I managed to kill the Elite without buffs (not recommended).  I actually had the most fun attacking Testo while waiting for the reinforcements to come out of ogre cells.  It was PF-hit-and-run-PF-hit-and-run rinse and repeat, but I managed to make a good dent on him!  :o

I told Ophi-taichou about this particular Prison run and her compliment to me was, "You're stronger than you think you are."  Hearing this from her meant a lot to me.  *_*
