Recent Activities

- Finally decided to give in and attempt Magian trials. Managed to finish trial 2 for dagger fairly easily enough, and have now advanced to trial 3 (Black Triple Stars). I am not kidding when I say this bat is SO. DAMN. ANNOYING. ARGHH. Teamed up with a group of 3 JPs to score a kill, but it was still so incredibly boring ; ; the JPs were really nice though and spoke to me in baby english. I responded in baby japanese xD

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Lots got done recently!

Last night as we got my THF to 5k tnl we also caught the NM Nightmare Vase up, so I switched to DNC quickly and came back to solo it. It was an easy fight but nothing to show for except 4 magic pot shards and 2 vials of mercury, which thankfully got picked up quick during overnight bazaar and freed up a few spaces of my overfilled packrat inventory.

Today, the TEEF finally hit 75 thanks to roughly 4 rounds of FoV training in Ro'Maeve!
Thanks to Penty for keeping me company and consoling me when the regime bonus cheated me out of my level up animation. XD Also grats to him capping his ninjutsu skills while I tanked weapons for him! For my favorite job class to play and being the first job that I leveled 2 years ago with the intention of taking to 75 since I started playing, I sure took my sweet ass time.

Also changed past nation alliance from Windy to Bastok for the various DNC equips (Sonia's Plectrum, the new sword thingy with the special campaign WS, the Regain backpeice, and Sturm's report for Violent Flourish), as I've gotten all the cobra gear I needed and there's not much else from Windurst (S) items that my current jobs can put to good use. Strangely the special campaign WS for DNC is....a sword. But since it's only for campaign use anyway, I'm not going to complain too much. During the nation change quest, also managed to farm 2 Agaricus Mushrooms off the Coppercaps in Zegham Hill. TH works in the strangest ways....but at any rate, that's 20k in the pocket!

Also anticipating a change from current nation allegiance from Sandy to Windy! I love having all the OP warps and love my dhalmel infested city of San D'Oria and really don't want to leavee ; ; I dread moving into that circular and massive failure of layout planning of a city that is called Windurst too, but Sandy is in 1st and Windy is last in conquest rankings this week, so it's the best time to do so, and I do want to have a chance to complete the other nation storylines. So alas Sandy, I bid you and your well laid-out city farewell for a bit! I shall return once I earn 100k from both Windy and Bastok 8D

Went into campaign to gain a buffer and got a Petrified Log, Wyvern Skin, and a Maiden's Virelai from Campaign Union Spoils along with a 5k buffer! Not very much, but will have to do for now. While campaigning also got the quest for Fort Karugo-Narugo map done! The CS for the mandragoras were disgustingly cute, I want to watch it again!

Funds for Bravo's Subligar has been set aside on le Toasty bank. Once the funds from mushroom sales are done, I should be about halfway there! :D Lastly, need to remind myself to farm an Iolite soon as it's the last missing peice for my next gobbiebag upgrade. Sadly, it only drops of Corses in Attowah Chasm....so....I guess we'll see how that goes D:

Miscellaneous character illustrations

Currently the comic revolves mainly around dynamis-related experiences, but I haven't yet included any anecdotes from my vibrant social LSes yet. Here are a few characterizations that probably aren't going to be included on the Train Adventures Comic site, though I may gather them into a collage for a future upload.

first off is an old...( as you can tell by the year date on the signature >_>;;;) test drawing of Jiharn, in one of his more *ahem* "normal" outfits.



I meant to color and finished this fully, but I haven't had the heart to since he ceased playing FFXI for WOW.


Here's Fruitloops, who, like me, also leveled DNC solely for the frilly AF XD He spends most of his time clamming, and also has a cameo role on the cover page of Train Adventures.


And here is BV, fellow DNC enthusiast and lovely leader of TheLost!
I wanted to stick her joyeuse in there, since it matches her outfit so well, but just could figure out where to put it without making it look silly.

That's it for today!
