Vanquishers Unite!

Maat Masher!!~

2006-05-26T09:26:00.000+08:00

HI everyone!~ Cairi here, just a little update. ^_^
As you can tell from the title, I went to fight the infamous Maat, hated by most if not all adventurers. I went to the fight as a 66 Ninja, to which I had earlier vowed that I wouldn't level past 66 till I beat up the old man, and that's what I accomplished in one try. Cairi 1 - Maat 0

Unfortunately, in my nervous/excited mood, I had completely forgot to take any screenshots of the battle ><;

More updates to come...hopefully, if I ever figure out how to post pictures here, ahaha, Crash {Help me out!}

Avatars Galore~

2006-04-14T03:46:00.000+08:00

Yup yup, we decided to go ahead with all 6 avatar runs finally.... This was meant to help those who needed the avatars, but ended up we only have enuff manpower for 1 PT. Screenies coming right up!

*NOT 56k friendly*

1st stop, Leviathan!

After that water worm, we went ahead with Mr Ifrit.

hot, Hot, HOT!

After some real heated fight, we needed to cool off so we asked Ms Shiva to cool us off =)
And Pulp decided to DC on us -.-"

That was refreshing ^^ Onward to Old Man Ramuh~

Why does Old Man always look so grumpy?...

He doesn't look very happy to see me........

As you can see, Crowy and Doufu KO'd. They were no match for Ramuh's Judgement Bolt.

Next stop: The Thong Man aka Titan!

Is it just me or does he look uncomfortable in that Thong?

Crowy got owned by Astral Flow again...

Last stop, Sexy Garuda!

Did I mention sexy? =D

Great run guys! I will be organising another full run soon for the rest of Linkshell. I hope I can get more decent screenshots for the fight instead of cutscenes next time hehehe....

{Blade: Ku} !!

2006-03-19T11:57:00.000+08:00

I'm sooooo sorry for the lack of updates. Been busy with stuffs. And there aren't much going on in Linkshell that's worth blogging anyway =X There is, but I wasn't there to take pictures and know what's going on...

Just a little update:
1. Linkshell people have been doing CoP regularly recently in hope of gettin Sea real soon. I was supposed to join them but exams and stuff have been keeping me from the game T.T

2. We managed to take down Roc and Serket a few times the past few months. (We're not a HNMLS but hey, I consider that some accomplishments for the Linkshell ^^b).

3. A few of us were in a Dynamis Linkshell named DeathNotes (refer to previous post). A few of us had some new and pretty neat AF2s to showoff and play around with. Grats to everyone! Tried Dynamis-Buburimu last night. More pics below.

4. Helped Iio with with WSNM. Was a decent fight considering there's two fighting the stupid crab NM. The went was long but we were never put into real danger of dying... cept the moment when I tried to activate Healing Breath, I activated Spirit Link instead. >.< My Hp went from 500+ to 100++ Stupid me... More pics to follow.

5. Linkshell was helpful as usual with help requests. Been doing AF NMs, hunting keys and helping out with quests. Grats to all those who benefited with the Linkshell helping.

Pictures!

Random Pics of those who braved Dynamis-Buburimu for the 1st time.

One of the many Dragon we had to fight in there... very very nasty. Some came with AoE petrify, AoE damage moves and AoE Dispel! Irritating dragons.. We wiped a few times and ended up being removed from the area when we ran out of time. We gain much valuable experience from this run. Will be going back real soon and hope to clear this bad ass area >.<

Katana Weaponskill Notorious Monster. Grats to Iio on his new WS Blade: Ku!

Greetings From Crash~

2006-01-08T00:47:00.000+08:00

Happy 2006 everyone ^^ Greetings from everyone's "favourite" Tarutaru, Crash!!

I started off the new year busy with levelling my Dragoon with Votricion, Dragonwiz and Peachie.
It's at level 70 now. Hope everyone is having as much fun levelling as I did =P I've never level-ed my Dragoon this fast before. It was always seeking endlessly for hours and hours. Thanks to the new found static party, I was able to level my dream job at last. Kudos to Vot, Dragon and Pea ^^

Last night, we returned to our twice-a-week routine of Dynamis with the Japanese Linkshell Deathnotes. We went to Dynamis-Bastok to get the ball rolling and was hoping to clear the area for some of the newer members. But it seemed like we were short-handed last night, which ended up in plenty of wipes T.T But on a brighter note, plenty of AF2 dropped. I think it was something like 2 Drg, 2Blm, 2Brd and 1Sam.

Behold The Black Mage Hidden Treasure Hunter!

I, for once, was very very very lucky to be able to be the one and only to lot for the AF2s that I need. Yay!

After Dynamis, I decided to form a Party that was willing to help me out with the Notorious Monster in Newton. After asking around and forming up, I managed to get the help from Darkx, Greyfox, Votricion, Dargonwiz, Chunz and Gabrywind.

Hearing from Gabrywind that the drop of Rutter Sabatons is about 33%, my heart sank. I was never lucky with Notorious Monster drops, and I thought that my luck was all used up during Dynamis. Imagine my happiness when I went 1/1 of the drops =D

Brand new Boots for my Dragoon ^^

It's been a great start to 2006 for me. I hope that everyone in Vanquisher and Vana'diel has as much fun and luck as I'm having for the road ahead. Cheers everyone ^^v

EDIT: "I, for once, was very very very lucky to be able to be the one and only to lot for the AF2s that I need. Yay!" This part may be a littlt mis-leading. What I had wanted to mean was that I had no comptition for the AF2s cos the rest has already had theirs.

Diabolos MINE!

2005-12-14T11:52:00.000+08:00

Slug Shot ftw!~

Really hard to take a pic of him as a taru. He flys up too high ; ;

{Are you alone?}

2005-11-29T16:39:00.000+08:00

Me and my beloved Raka. Currently in Blue Cotehardie and JSE white lacy subligar. /Drool

Raka changing equipment from level 30 Mithra RSE to Blue Cotehardie. Sweeeet~!! 1 more to Scorpion Harness!

Double date in Davoi. {Subligar}{Party}{All right!}

Coincidently when I wanted to go to Ordelle's Caves to do my NPC Quest, it was the same location for Male Hume Racial week and the first ??? I saw was the one which pop Aroma Leech. Didn't know it's not 100% but just to be safe i equiped the thief knife and killed it. 1/1! Woot!

Carbuncle Mitts

2005-11-26T09:37:00.000+08:00

Was bored today so I thought I would go see if the ??? for the Offering was up. So happends it was! Was also able to form a group on short notice to kill the NM for them too. And as an added bonus a Light Spirit Pact droped from him as well! Would like to give many thanks to all who helped me get these today!

Happy Thief Today!

2005-11-25T21:32:00.000+08:00

Wasn't able to get better shots from this Kreutzet fight. He look just like any other big bird mobs around. Knowing from those information on the web and assuming maintenance probably was done at 3am with the NM popping soon after, I went to Cape Terrigan to camp at 12pm, 25th of Nov. Slowly Greyfox came as Rdm/Blm, then Valeron as Blm/Whm and Votricion as Mnk/Nin. The wind weather in Cape Terrigan sure took his time to pop.. and by around 630pm, wind weather finally came and along with it, Kreutzet!!!

Read that Sirocco Kukri isn't 100% drop from Kreutzet but anyway it sure was 1/1 for me. And if anyone still don't know althought its 21 damage only but it's 150 delay and best of all it's 100% Enaero. /cheer! I want to take this opportunity to thank Greyfox, Valeron and Votricion for coming to help me out and enduring the long wait. ('v')b

Pet NPC unite!

2005-11-19T02:02:00.000+08:00

3 couples decided to go Davoi for a triple dating trip.

As you can see the secret fantasies one have. :p Pimy has been wearing white subligar for a long time now.. I've seen her change equip for like 2-3 times and still in those subligar..

As seen in the foreground, Pimy's butt (Scorpion Harness & Subligar). What a distraction! Anyway congrats on attaining Scorpion Harness Pimy!

Misadventure in Temple of Uggalepih.... again.

2005-11-17T15:58:00.000+08:00

Valeron with his mad rushing 5 hitter Dancing Edge (anyone seen Ichigo's move in Bleach 58 yet?).
Valeron, Iio and Roggy playing skipping. X3

This brings my Roggy tally up to 46! Valeron is 0/3 (>.<)

Gration's {rear} has a {darkness}{hole}

2005-11-16T18:05:00.000+08:00

Although this isn't really a Vanquisher LS event, but most of us took part in this Diaosimi LS event. I went to the event as a THF/SAM. Spirit Within with 300%TP and full HP can do 580-650dmg on Gration. Even bought Carbonara (yummy) to further push up my HP.

Drop rate for Tatami shield isn't good. I went in for Thf last kill on 2 ocassions and couldn't get Tatami shield to drop. This is one shield I hope I'll be able to possess one day. All in all its a fun event in my opinion.

Limbus

2005-10-26T01:42:00.000+08:00

Limbus has been a lot of fun. Its like BCNM and Dynamis rolled into one, but not so laggy like Dynamis, fast paced too. Its expencive though, costing me about 100k a run. Hope that Harliquin's Horn sells soon >.<

Trick Or Treat!

2005-10-22T02:31:00.000+08:00

Hehe.. It's that time of the year again! And Crash is all excited to find out what new items are in store this year ^^

Crash had fun stuffing scary-weary NPCs in town with treats! (i hope they have a gd slimming centre to go to after this event =P) In return, the Fat-to-be NPCs gave Crash cute costumes to wear! YIPPEE!

Crash as Yagudo...

Then an Orc...

Standing tall as a Ka (Fallen Knights)

and finally breathing down Greyfox's neck as a ferocious Wolf...

Greyfox and I found out that besides the usual Pumpkin Heads and Trick/Treat Staffs, there's a new addtion this year! We did plenty of research on the internet, did silly runs around town testing the information we've gathered. Finally we managed to get what we wanted in San Doria:

Hehehe... this is how Crash look like with the weapon equipted(sp?)..

This is the NQ (normal quality) though. There's a HQ(High Quality) version of it, where it ehances movement speed when in costume. There isn't much information on the net regarding how to get it, maybe no one had it yet. Would love to have it, even though it would only work when one is in costume XD

Happy Halloween 2005 everyone!

SCORE!!!1!~

2005-10-18T10:36:00.000+08:00

Hahahaha! I got this thing at half the 3,000,000 AH price! But should i keep it or sell it and make money? >.>?

Story!~ Promyvion!

2005-10-13T11:18:00.000+08:00

Ok, little story update...I would put picture, but don't know how too ><; blog newb ^^;

Promyvion-Mea => First promy!~ nearly whole LS turn out to come, haha, {fun} {excitement} {death} {You can have this}. Going up was fairly easy, our guide Squishy got us lost a couple times, lol, 3rd floor think it was, walk in big circle for 20 minutes, haha. Vot died on the way up, and de-lvl ><; but a little later lvl up again!~ haha. When reach Spire Mea, Peachie gave us mini-briefing, then we did the BC battle!~ This boss later like to spam AOE high dmg ability!~ We didn't have any anima's, so this battle was a bit hard. I had to drink all my hi-potions, thankfully with wonderful mages, I still survived with 27hp!~ haha.

Promyvion-Dem => Not as many people turn out to do this one, but that's ok!~ think have nearly 2 full parties. This time we have anima's!~ think like 3, but that was plenty it seemed. Getting to spire was very very easy, hardly any aggro, always the first MR (memory receptacle) we fought was the real one, no death this time either!!~ ^^This BC battle was very easy, however boss likes to have babies ><;; haha. This time use only one hi-potion, Dem boss {Too weak}.

Promyvion-Holla => Thanks to tiko {Mega Boss} craft us our holy water ^^. Nearly two full parties this time as well. On our way up, think on the third floor, got aggro, Vot go killed again T_T and de-lvl too!~ Yet again, Vot got his lvl back!~ yay!~ This time, not only Vot get killed, think we had 5 or 6 links, was very long hard battle, some used 2-hours, others used items. Blah, think 7 of us got killed, lol, no matter!~ rest up and heal, and continue to chiong!~ However interesting story, all the tiko's got killed. I was killed too!~ but I not tiko!!~, here's our explanation. Darkx tiko {Mega Boss} have so much tiko karma, he pass it on to me!!!~ >_<; aiyah, www. Anyways, we continue on up, Whisperwind {Sacrificial Chamber} pull all the empty to zone line, to give us free run to spire, he lived!~ with 49hp!~ ^^. This BC battle require different medicine like poison potion, and holy water. BC boss like to spam AOE sleep + curse. However we come prepared!~ using our anima's effectively Anzella and I (think we only one's that had any, I had 2...lol) we were able to prevent BC boss from spamming this too much. Holla boss at 40% hp, I called out {Full Attack!}, afterwards...die very fast, haha. We came out with a win!~ yay!~

After a few cutscenes Anzella, Crowy and I ended up in Lufaise Meadows!~ was very pretty place, and had nice music. Chunz came back to escort us to Tav Safehold. But in prior cutscene, these 3 taru's steal stuff from me!!!~ evil!!~ (o>_>)==O grr...haha.

Thank You everyone for helping out!!~ especially tiko {Mega Boss} Darkx for setting this up. Later if find out how, will post up some screenies I take while doing promyvion. BYE!~

ps=> ok so it wasn't a little story...think by time finish reading someone will end up kooning ><; lol.

Crowy The Star Breaker

2005-09-22T13:39:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone~ Crowy is back with good news~ Thanks to everyone in the linkshell for helping me farming Blackmage Testimony for the past few days... Nearly killed somebody in the process Please forgive me... Dunno why damn blur these few days... lol

Anyway there was once after getting Cauldron's coffer key, we decided to go to temple and hunt for my testimony. Look who we found~

Anyway he wasn't too generous... and so are the BLM type tonberry! Didn't get a drop for about 1-2 hours!! Strongly discourage any blm from coming here for testi!

I failed a couple of times... but finally

Heh finally got it right~

And now to continue the way up! Chiong arh!!!

Crowy's Virgin Dynamis Trip

2005-09-17T01:04:00.000+08:00

Hello all! I finally went for my very first Dynamis trip! It was indeed exciting.... i went in as a 69blm but came out as a 68blm lol because my stupid NA party dun wanna give me buffer and left me at 114/32000 /sigh. It was confusing and overwhelming for me as it was my 1st time....
Lot's of death as we can see in the picture below lol...

And for the good news... Gabrywind got his WHM AF2 armor and Ces got his WAR AF2 Gloves and as for me.....

Heh didn't expect to get it either since i heard BLM af2 pieces rarely drop... and i lotted for 985!
anyways there isn't any blm at the time i lotted lol i guessed the rest already got it.

And on a side note... i finally got my Goldsmithing Shades... but it makes my tarutaru looks so Tiko lol

Simple update

2005-09-14T14:13:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, it's been quite some time since anyone updated here. Since I'm kinda free, might as well upload a few pics for everyone here ^^

Did Escort last nite, then followed by coffer-key hunting for Greyfox's BST AF. It was a looong time ago since we farmed any coffer keys, was fun anyway ^^

Kaibutso having some fun with his Fire Carol:

***
Earlier in the week we did Dynamis-Windrust and was Votricion lucky or what... he managed to escape Doom TWICE... lucky elvaan...

... Maybe he wasn't so lucky afterall: he admitted to something and I was there to take a screenie of it! Mooowahhahahahah! {That's too bad} Votricion /grin...

Don't u dare call Tarutarus FAT anymore Vot... LOL

My Virgin ENM trip

2005-09-07T02:44:00.000+08:00

Hello all! Just did my 1st ENM on 060905!
Thanks Rubedo for providing me with valuable advises...

Too bad i didn't take much pictures ><; please forgive me.... Anyway on our way to climb the mountain at Attohwa Chasms we saw a good friend

Well we climbed the stupid mountain after that ><; which was a long journey... As i was concentrating on the journey up , i didn't take any pics please forgive me ><; The fight was rather quick.... but during the fight, i felt i was too weak... didn't really stun at the right time....
hope i can do better the next time ><;

Anyway the drop was better then expected ^^

Crowy's Rally

2005-08-29T13:36:00.000+08:00

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!

2005-08-29T00:46:00.000+08:00

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

2005-08-27T22:07:00.000+08:00

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!}

2005-08-26T11:59:00.000+08:00

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

Saying Goodbyes...

2005-08-26T00:01:00.000+08:00

.. 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*
