The Azure

Well then, where to start @_@. So, over the past two days or so I've been up to a bit. Arnor's been on at me like a woman for a few weeks now to get a Soboro, and since Cyprias was starting a run, asked if i wanted to go. I had nothing else on at the time so figured why not. Thing's got off to a slow start... by slow i mean we finally started about 90 minutes after gathering together because we had to wait for a few stragglers lol. Anywho, it probably wasn't the cleanest run we could have had, we got two drops, one non-drop and two wipes >< (well three wipes since we wiped twice on the final one XD). All in all it could have gone better, but i'm not complaining. It was fun to spend time with Cyprias and Arnor ^^.

(I forgot to grab an SS of the fight, but here's us recovering after one of the wipes ^^)

Anyway, moving on... The next day i did a bit more DRG soloing, really gonna have to leave my camp by the end of 53 ; ; The exp just isn't cutting it any more. However, I took some time out from picking on the local wildlife to get myself some armour :D

(A BIG thanks to Saxon and Arael for helping me with the quest ^.^)

But that's not all! Later the same day I also (finally) recieved my first piece of Assault armour! I had to put in so much effort leeching the assaults from Drow, but the effort paid off in the end ^^.

(Now for the real challenge... 11k Assault points before I can get my Amir Boots... Let's make it happen people!)

Even LATER the same day I jumped on a KS30 run. Turned out to be a bit of a waste really, only worthwhile drop was a D.Ingot so it was split between the BLM's and myself. I got 69k out of it though, which beats the usual 10-20k I normally make without a V.Claw dropping. I did however recieve a Rampager aswell, now i'm just debating whether to break the latent and swap it for my Byakko's Axe. Byakko's has served me well for many a month now, but as with some of my gear recently, I'm getting very bored of looking at it. It's made worse by the fact I'd been using the Demon and Gigant range of Great Axe's previous to obtaining it, so effectively been stuck with the same weapon model since as far back as the early 40's.

Aaaaaanywho, FINALLY, I started farming my coffer key for my next DRG AF in Quicksand Caves... it didn't go so well. Two hours in, i got joined by the wonderful Miryoku, easily one of (if not THE) greatest Thief's on the game. The kills mounted, but sadly no key drop. Guess i'll try a different cave's entrance today and hope for the best ^^.

(Miry's like the hulk... she likes to destroy stuff... but she's not green and half naked o.o)

Later folks!
