I will start off with a simple question: Why are wyrms so greedy? Wednesday was KSNM99 "Early Bird Catches the Wyrm"; I went and picked up and orb, and donated it to my linkshell to help with the bank. Well, I do not know how well it really 'helped' them, but maybe I gave them a good... oh say, 45,000G? Other than the horrible drops, it was quite a fun run. Went as black mage, and died a few times; but it was great!

Also did some limbus, and recieved the last piece of materials to make my second piece of dragoon af+1. Then I thought, while I was at it, I would buy a last few ancient beast coins to finally buy a brutal earring (I do not know why I did not buy this earlier >.> Yay for me being a ditz)

Did some mass runs of assaults, and today I will rank up a second time this week, thus getting me the rank of "First Lieutenant". One of the more entertaining assaults was the Sagelord Elimination, would not have won it if it was not for a really awesome red mage we had, who was always on the sagelord with DoTs, managed to swipe the win with about 5min left. The quest for rank up, along with the cutscenes were quite entertaining. Downside to this, is now I have only captain rank left, it may seem all well but, most of my ranking points were from mass runs of Golden Salvage, and Evade and Escape. So as of now, I currently stand at 19/50 for captain. On top of this, I now have to deal with the horrible NMs that are to be dealt with in the First Lieutenant ranking missions. Long road ahead with assault!

I do not think I will ever forget this quote; It will forever remain in my mind as on of the funniest lines I have read in FFXI

Due to the wyrm runs, and massive amounts of death to our black mages I was seeking out methods of getting my buffer back (I am not big on solo, and I lack red mage sub to boot, so... yeah) and I really only had seen that campaign was a choice, since mana burn parties are somewhat rare now. Before I started, I decided to hit up the campaign eval. NPC, and see how I stand for ranking up, and keeping my medal. I was not far enough into my current ranking to recieve a rank up, and on top of that I had only one day left on my ranking seal to get enough exp to recieve a promotion. So, I grinded... and grinded, for hours in campaign. Ran into a turret for the first time, did not realize they were so goddamn big >.>; lol. After a few hours, I spoke to the NPC once again, and I was eligable for a rank up! Now I stand at Wings of Honor, the current highest medal in campaign.

Enough text, screenies now!
