Crowy's Rally

Hi everybody! 1st Crowy would like to thank everybody for their help... Without Vanquisher, Crowy wouldn't be where he is today. Think u guys must be 1 of the most interesting ppl i've ever met. Especially tiko Ces and Evil vot ahahaha (Run away! from vot's elephant glue)

Anyway Crowy finally completed his G4



Wonder when my maat's fight would be ^^

Crafting is pretty interesting for me since no other game i've played before have this kind of interesting system ^^



















Anyway I only have a craft worth mentioning about~







well just a point to take note for would be goldsmithers.... I actually loss 500k++ from 42-47 ; ;
Anyway that's all for now and once again thank you Vanquishers.

Sit! Rollover! Good Dog!

Iio + Chinchilla VS Border Collie


Our PT Config is Darkx (Pld/Nin), Votricion (Mnk/Nin), Iio (Thf/Sam), Peachie (Blm/Whm), Rubedo (Blm/Whm) & Greyfox (Whm/Blm). Our LS do not have the luxury of a highbie Ninja to work with. We still decided to take this risk and work out a strategy. We are 1/5 on this BC. Howling Moon is the reason why we failed so many times... which usually kill the Pld and Blm.

A great day for walking, socializing, relieving the dogs...


After we acquired the rightful ownership over our Fenrirs, we decided to take them out for a walk. Enjoying the Sarutabaruta wind, our dogs had a fun time mixing around.

{/farewell}{Temple of Uggalepih} & Sozu Rogberry

My 43rd Sozu Rogberry...

Lightsday Half Moon (50%)
The amount of time spend waiting to pop (my best record being 10 hour straight without popping and the waits to pop but end up losing claim is at the same time horrifying and devastating... Roggy seems like a special old friend to me now... Definately one whom I made special attention to visit everytime I go Temple (not forgetting another old friend whom I HAVE to always visit is the Tonberry hate clearing NPC). However, now I must bid my farewells to these 2 old friends and the place I can call my 2nd home. This just might be my testimonial battle with Roggy.

They say a picture speaks a thousands words. We'll just let some pictures do its talking...



{/hurray}{Thief's Knife}{Found it!}{mine} There's a couple of people I would like to thank, who in some ways helped and encouraged me to bring my tally up to 43 battles. I could have given up at 0/36 but people like Rubedo and Zaan has always pushed me to hunt Roggy. Always mounting on the possibility that if I don't continue hunting, it'll never drop. If I keep hunting, the next one might drop. Even Lao Tiko (Darkx) also said this to me. Usually I hunt Roggy alone, as I know hunting NM is a boring task so I never really ask people for help. However, there are ocassions where a few friends popped by to have fun together, namely the forgotten Taru Ces, Zaan, Rubedo, Diablosksa, Suffocation, Lareine, Greyfox...


1/44...

Firesday Waxing Gibbous (57%)
Came out of my retirement early because Greyfox came and we killed Tonberry for their coats and I can have this opportunity to do a parry skill up (now 141.5). Peachie came soon after and I helped her get her offering for Carbuncle Mitts. Thief will always be remember as {sacrificial chamber} or TH whore. :p So while fighting Roggy came to say hi when he felt like it, but as expected no knife drop. This will bring my tally up to 1/44. Maybe it'd be 2/86? {Thanks for the offer but I'll pass}

Also special mention for the richest Tonberry Pursuer...

If he were to drop Tonberry Board, he would have dropped everything he could possibly drop...

{I'm back!}

HELLO!~ I'm home!~ ^^ Cairi miss home a lot, but now is finally back. That's all I have to say ^^; haha

Saying Goodbyes...

.. was never easy. Especially in a Linkshell such as Vanquisher. Everyone is very closly-knitted this this Linkshell. We're just like one big family, so having someone to leave the Linkshell and game wasn't easy on anybody in the Linkshell...

Today, we bid farewell to Totumoi. She's a very cute taru and a female player in real life. Although she was seldom online due to her work commitments, everyone enojoyed having her around as one of us. She has decided to leave the game for a better job prospects in real life. Here are some last few screenshots we took before Totumoi takes her leave:

Some of those who were able to make it:


Pictures of us doing silly little things:






(will upload pics into the forums)

Well, this is the end of the road for Totumoi. Vanquisher will miss her dearly, especially true for those female gamers still in the Linkshell. For they have lost a fellow Taru, gossiping buddy and a female gamer friend. Vanquiser would like to express their utmost best wishes to Totumoi, for whatever Life may bring to her.

p/s: if u ever changed ur mind Totumoi, Vanquisher will be more than happy to accept you right back into this Linkshell. Take Care! *sob sob*

Sozu Rogberry {death}{you can have this}

Earthsday Waning Gibbous (93%)

0/39! (Applause please)(Applause please)

I still remember this NM almost got me to quit the game last year as I would live in Temple for weeks or months only to go away to sleep, restock or sell loots. Then it dawned upon me, to just forget about the prized drop and just have fun with the game. That's when i quit camping him for a {long time}.




My 39th Rogberry gave me the same loots as yesterday....



I got the next claim again off the same Nin/Thf on Windsday, Waning Gibbous (88%). 0/40! He tried to Throat Stab me once and the drops were Light Crystal and Tonberry Coat this time round.


Lightsday, Waning Gibbous (62%)
0/41! Claim off 3 other rivals, 1 Nin/Thf (the same cat) with Galka friend, Nin/Rdm and a Thf/Nin with Strider Boots.


Darksday, Waning Gibbous (60%)
0/42! Greyfox came to visit me. Which we got Beelarvae for his Hornetneedle which we got off killing Death From Above. Greyfox was the one who won pull with Dia from 1 Whm/Nin and a Thf/Nin PT. Thanks for the {Good job} pull. keke.

{Help Desk}{Help me out!}

Lightningday, Waxing Gibbous (79%)

My 38th Sozu Rogberry and he is still making it a pretty 1 sided game (in terms of drops that is).

"And the winner is..... (drums roll) Sozu Rogberry! With 38 wins!"

I could even feel him laughing at me...

"Silly humans... wasting your precious time, sitting in front of a PC for hours, on a NM with {impossible to gauge} item droprate. You've just been caught on candid camera by the SE gods. {Dangulf Wadi}hehehehehe!"

Outpulled a Nin/Thf rival (not that it is a great feat) because I've always been very confident of my Mug claim in the Rogberry room. Killing him isn't much of a problem either. Even a Tonberry Stabber has a better accuracy then Rogberry. keke.

And these were the generous loots he dropped me...

{I'm sorry}.... Part 2

I thank everyone from the LS Vanquisher from the bottom of my heart. A big kudos to every single one of u out there. I'm proud to be a member of this great Linkshell.

Special thanks to:
Darkx aka Tiko Boss- Owner of the LS, always helpful and funny ^^

Votricion - Always supporting me, asking me not to give up. Always willing to help out for events.

Greyfox- Thx got lending me ur Elemental Torque... could nvr afford it now >.< Peachie- Advices on how to beat the stupid old man....

Iio, Cesarea and the rest: If I'm to list out every other name, this would be a Über boring blog entry =P Thanks for having faith in me after so many failures...

Today I went for the Maat Fight again. It was my 4th try. I told Grey that I know I wouldn't make it for the fight, simply because I have a very bad feeling >.< The short was a short 1 as usual.

A VERY healthy old man...


As usual, started things with Flare > Sleep II > Bind > Firaga III... and this is the outcome of the fight......


{Mhaura}hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! YES! I DID IT GUYS!! V(^_^ )



But! It was a VERY close fight.. I would've died if I didn't bring my Pear Au Lait...


Moooooowahahahahaha! I can smell my level 75 already.. LOL~ BTW, are u guys wondering why the entry title? I'm sorry.. for taking so long to defeat the Old Man. I'm sorry to have made u guys hunt my testimonial so many times. And lastly, I'm sorry... FOR HAVING TO SLAP A SENIOR CITIZEN to get my limit break.. =P I think God will forgive me for doing so... rite?.. ^.^"

Kuftal Tunnel Adventure

My BST's scythe skill is pretty much lagging behind as compared to my axe's skill. Therefore I asked Greyfox if he wants to go weapon skilling. So we decided to go Kuftal Tunnel to skill on Recluse Spiders. Greyfox did get lots of ups for his sword but my scythe skill was too high. So after sometime, I begin skilling my club instead.



A skill up session soon became a spider web farming session and lo and behold, Amemet pop right in front of me. It's a bit funny how the NM pop amongst the spiders instead of his familiar territory amongst the lizards where lots of gilsellers camp. So I went on to charm a cactuar and got claim. Amemet is pretty evil and hits 3 times harder then my pets (used mostly spiders as cactuar is very charm resistant).

Soon after, (how can we forget some rivalry drama, right?) a group of non-LS players came over and hover around our NM, always ready to steal. This group consist of a RNG/NIN, Coderiant is his name, who eventually aggroed and train many spiders most likely to his death. The mage from this group was evil enough to cure 3 Greyfox in an attempt to steal hate. This is when you truly have to give thanks for "/blockaid on".

With me swapping pets very often and Greyfox helping to keep claim by Dia-ing when I swap pets, we were able to eventually bring the NM down. At one point of time we almost died and I remember seeing my HP @ 1%. I was like "Oh my pamamas!"

All in all we did a great job and to much dismay only 1 skin drop and was sold at 248,000g. (^-^)b

ENM NPC @ UJ, BM, WW & SS {Please do not abbreviate your words}

Logging on tonight I had a certain desire rushing in me to check when I can do the next ENM. Remembering that since some updates ago, ENM NPC has been available for us to check when we'll be eligible to do the next ENM. Therefore I went and did a search in some of the more popular FF websites and found out that these following NPCs are residing in the 4 nations. This will be good information for those who are avid ENMers or aspiring to be one.

These NPCs are pretty easy to spot. They're Black Mage wannabes dressing up in Black Cloaks OR they may be Dark Knight wannabes dressing up in Vampire Cloaks as seen in the screenie. And they can be spotted at:

Mortitz @ Upper Jeuno @ I-8
Gregory @ Bastok Mines @ J-9
Istvan @ Windurst Woods @ K-11
Ophelia @ South San d'Oria @ H-11

{I'm sorry}....

/sigh

Sorry guys, I've screwed up at Maat again. Thanks for helping me to hunt for the Black Mage Testimonial.

The fight went horribily wrong. I wasn't even close to defeated him this time round compared to the last. I don't know what went wrong. I went in and started off with a Freeze. It did great damage compared to the last. Slight resistl, dealing 552 dmg. This kinda shocked me as it was Firesday... After that I went ahead and Seal Slept him. Then I went Manafont > Flare. THIS made me pissed off, dealing ONLY 84 dmg. (WTF!?)

Things went haywire from here. He started casting Aeroga III, I was sure I ran out of range, then I saw him ran and his spell went off. Shadows ate the spell. I ran and tried to bind him, failed. Then it happened the 2nd time. He starts casting Thunderga III, I ran. He ran and spell went off. Boom! Im a dead taru...



/sigh I guess this is a gd sign that I should stop playing. Sch's on Monday. Maybe I'll get my Blm to 70 and leave it to rot. When sch starts, I wouldn't be able to afford the time to play as much even though I've only got 3 hrs of sch everyday. I need to get a job soon, the family needs it. So... come Monday, maybe you guys wouldn't see me anymore.. I dont know... We'll see how yeah? One thing's for sure, I'll still be back in Forums ^^ The Blog will be up to u guys to update then ^^; hehehe.....

{Beastmaster} {fun} & {excitement}

This blog has become my homepoint for my FF activities lately. I'm posting more on this blog then on my uber outdated personnal blog! Oh my pamamas! How can that be?!



Anyway apart from my usual thief duties, I'm also a level 67 (at the time of post) BST. Some NA friend asked me to PT and I gladly accept since I have been pretty stagnent on my BST lately.

"Psst!... And someone also has a hidden agenda for wanting me to reach BST 69 ASAP."



I hope no one is assuming I'm into cosplaying or hentai activities. >.>

Anyway BST PT is really fun and our pet comrades are so much stronger then a normal player. So we usually kill faster then a normal 6 man PT. ^^ I use Rabbit (as I'm the puller) and the other 2 BST used Mandy as pets. Mandy (Monks) are really good pets. Hard to charm but easy with a Light/Apollo Staff. In a matter of 2 hours we gained 7500+ exp. W00t!

It's a fine morning...

Just a simple personal update:

I hit 69Blm/34Whm this morning. It's hard getting to where I am now, but the road ahead seems harder. Only 6 more levels to go to the level cap, but I have no idea when I'll be hitting the Big 75. Target now is to hit 70 by this Friday 'cos sch's starting coming Monday. When Monday comes, maybe you guys wouldn't see me online much anymore. This is the last chance I get at going back to sch, and I cant afford to screw up this time round. Hell, I hate going back to sch >.< ... After I disbanded, something hit me. It's about time I get that Elemental Torque while I still have the cash. Went to Auction House, checked the price of the Torque and I nearly fainted. It went from 1.7mil about 5days ago to the current 2.5mil. WTH!? I thought to myself: Might as well save the money for that "Tattoo Set" at level 73. Checked it and I fainted again... went from 2.2mil to 3mil currently. *insert huge sigh here* Looks like I'll nvr be able to be a Über Blm XD. Time to head back to my good old playground, and hope that it rewards me well enough to get all the items i want >.< ... On a lighter note:
Moooooooahahahahahah~ hit 72 Cooking finally XD I've put my cooking skills away for a loooong time. If u guys need me to cook anything, send me a tell with the ingredients and I'll gladly cook it for ya... IF it's within my capability ^^v

It all begins with a stone....

Approximately 1 year 8 months into FF11... and I still remember the very first cutscene we'll see when we start the game.

"It all begins with a stone...."

As shown in the screenshot, is where all hell broke lose many many years ago. After finishing CoP I have to make my way there for the last cutscene. It's the very first time I went there. I must say the view is breath taking.

Thinking back we definately fought the good fight and presevered to the end. This journey with many different battle comrades is a memorable experience. We started the journey into Emptiness with 2 full PT strength and ended defeating Promathia with 8, some of which came, gone and replaced. I want to thank all those who had played a part in making this gil-burning, time-consuming, experience points-wasting journey an unforgetable one. Hee.

Sleepless Morning...

The date's 13th Aug 2005. The time is 2:30am. I've just finish lvlling my Black Mage and warpped back into Jueno. Then a message flashed across the chat log:

Greyfox: Crash wan to go camp Moldavite Earring?

Needless to say I was all excited, so I invited Greyfox and we went to camp the Goblin. The wait seemed forever. 30mins, an hour... 2hrs passed and still no sight of that stupid Goblin. It was only after about 2hrs 15mins Mr. Mysticmaker Profblix decided to show up, and Greyfox did a good job by claiming it with his Dia.





The fight was an easy one. He's a {Too Weak} Notorious Monster if u ask me. The fight ended with a Freeze from Yours Truly XD...


W00t! NM Down!... And the drops are simply... see for yourself -.-


/sigh Better luck next time Grey ^^; He's 0/3 on the drop while I'm 0/1. Another defeated Notorious Monster with crappy drops goes into the Crash's Record... LOL

Fatty Tarutarus {death}{you can have this}

My {call for help} to kill a NM which drop Mountain Gaiters was soon answered by many helpful LS members. Unfortunately the NM didn't drop the goods. /cry. This picture was taken prior fighting the NM and unfortunately I didn't take any pictures during the actual fight as I was busy tanking them. /cry again. Don't these 3 evil Tarus look like those silly Tarus from CoP? (._.") Are they Tarus in Goblins disguises or Goblins in Tarus disguises. (>.<")

Goldfishes... {mine}

I received a Goldfish set item for the Summer Festival. It's a Ex/Rare item meaning u cant trade it to anyone else to craft it for u. So I decided to bring my alchemy up a little, specially just to craft this item. The forums said that it needed Woodworking, Smithing and Alchemy, but no level was stated. So I decided to lvl Alchemy to 20, just to be safe hehe...



And this is what I get from crafting the Goldfish Set.... My very own Goldfish Bowl ^^


And 1 thing I realised.... after u put the Goldfish Bowl into ur Moghouse as furnishings... ur goldfishes will DISAPPEAR after a few days... u need to remove it from ur layout and re-insert it into ur furnishing slot to make ur goldfishes appear again...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!

Aiyo, i really blogspot idiot leh!.. peachie teach me how to use! >.< all setting i dunno how to use, wan to put link and chatter box also difficult for me ; ; u help to maintain this blog can? =Þ then i'll do my part and post lotsa updates here... can? *lol*

The homepoint for all Vanquishers......

OK guys, this is it. I've created a blog for our Linkshell. Why a blog? Hmm.. idk, lol! Maybe all i wan is a common place where our linkshell can post there everyday adventures here. No, this does not mean u have to close ur individual blogs. You can keep ur own blogs, cause this will be more for LS events ie. when the LS sets out to do missions/quest together.

I will give the p/w of this blog to a few at a time. Everyone will get the password. Any1 with the password is welcomed to post here and update pics. This is a LS blog, so keep the pics and post coming in guys ^^
