MMM, Assault and Starlight Celebration!

So yesterday we did a couple of Assaults because people had tags. First we did Lebros Cavern PSC (most of us needed points from there) which was as easy as always. Our setup was PUP, BLM (duoing the north wall), DRG, DRK and MNK.



For second Assault I chose Periqia PSC because I needed points there and because it was a new assault for a couple of people. Unfortunately I didn't remember how much the mission sucked. I was controlling the NPC which is the worst task in this assault, since it's almost impossible. I've done it a couple of times now and I still don't really know how to make him stop or move. And he also likes to run away every now and then so I need to be ready to catch him. I didn't even have time to answer to /tells I got during this assault (sorry, I was seriously busy).

Anyway, after that one of us had to leave and another person wanted to save his last tag for Nyzul just to be sure he'd have four for that. So we decided to go and try MMM instead. Only one of us had tried it before and he had got himself killed so we didn't really have almost any idea about the whole thing. We just gathered 5 people and decided to give it a try. Our setup for the first run was DRG (68), DRK (70), PUP (75), BLU (75) and WHM (75).



We got warped to Everbloom Hollow and found a maze full of EP crawlers and slimes. It was easy and we finished with about 10 mins left I think.



From this first run we got 30 marbles (I think) which meant we all could buy the cool eyepatch for 10 marbles!





For our second run we decided to change our setup a bit. I changed from PUP to BRD and our lowest level member changed from DRG to MNK which was 75. We got warped to Everbloom Hollow again but this time there were DC (our lowest level party member was still 70) Krakens and Coeurls. Good thing I was BRD because those thing linked badly and it was really good to have someone to sleep them.

Yesterday we also had our LS Xmas event! We gathered in Northern San-d'Oria and first we did the card exchange thing for a while. After that we went out to smack some boxes and when all had their Dream Robe and the bell key item, we went to do that quest in Southern San-d'Oria for the HQ bell.

We also did a little "secret santa" game. Everyone who wanted brought a present (worth max 1000 gil) and then we gave them to our Santa Lary (Galkas make the best santas!) who mixed them and gave to different people. I was really surprised when he traded me and I got a linkpearl! The LS was called "LesAmis" ("Friends" in english) so now I can carry my friends with me everywhere I go! ^^

Merry Starlight and happy New Year to all of readers!

The Very Secret Halloween Party

Just a small update with some pictures, because our social linkshell SecretFellowship had a Halloween party today and I had such a great time there!

We gathered in Windurst at 6PM my time and did first the cloak event. We had to kill some bats as level 1 and then kill the boss. After that we got our Eerie Cloaks. And repeating that with killing more bats gave us the +1 version. Was fun and easy.

Here are some of us killing the boss:



And here's a group picture of everyone who came to the LS event:



After everyone had gotten at least the NQ version of the Cloak, we did the pitchfork quest and the witch hat quest. I also gave cookies for everyone so they can trade them to NPCs to get some items. I already have both the HQ Pitchfork and Coven Hat so I wasn't very interested in doing those things, but I got some random items from the NPCs.

Then we all gathered in Tahvos Mog House. We voted for the winner of the "best costume" prize, and it went to Lary, a Galka who was wearing a Santa outfit with a pumpkin head.



Then we /cheered Lary on and danced a bit:



We spent 3 hours doing this LS event and I had such a great time I didn't even notice time passing! Thank you guys, it's great to have people like you in our linkshell!

Growing things

The morning lectures at the university have started and I'm feeling terribly sleepy most of the time. I really don't understand why anyone would want to go to a class at 8 AM. It feels so unnatural and stupid to wake up at 6 AM when everything is just black. But well, I like the course I'm taking so I guess I'll just have to change my day rythm somehow so I wouldn't feel like falling asleep every other minute.

So, again I haven't done much in game. On Sunday we killed Xol again and this time we even got the hands! I was so happy our LS finally got a drop from him, even though I didn't get to lot. I took this screenshot before our leader kindly reminded me that Xol will also charm people outside the alliance and I'd better pull back if I don't want them to kill me. ^^;



I did the new in game event too. Unfortunately, most people in our LS had done it already so we couldn't do it together. But well, it was fun and easy, and the new furniture is nice!





Yesterday I did a nice BCNM run (Royal Jelly) with Buttons and Shokun. Our setup was BRD/WHM (me), SAM/DNC (Shokun) and SAM/WAR (Buttons). The BCNM was again easy and the drops were nice for me and Buttons. Unfortunately, Shokun didn't get much anything. My treasure pool looked like this:



Not a bad way to spend 40 BS. ^^

About a week ago I read the Pikko Pots gardening site and decided to do a few gardening experiments myself. At the moment I have 30 brass flowerpots (10 on each of the characters on this account). On 20 pots I'm growing Wildgrass Seeds and on 10 pots I'm doing experiments with some Tree Cuttings and Cactus Stems I've farmed or quested.

Today is the harvest day for the Wildgrass Seeds, so I'm excited to see how much gil I can make with them. I've also put the first crystals on the Tree Cuttings and Cactus Stems so they are growing well too.
