Drop rates are for sissies.

Last night I decided it was time to get off my lazy ass and start farming gil for my SH. Farming is not one of my favorite things to do, but its managable. I head to good ol' Korroloka Tunnel, where I have spent 99% of my farming time in my life, and have pretty much made all my gil from there, except BCNM's.

I get there, and pop my friend the Morion Worm. Much to my surprise, it drops the Tathlum. Now, you might think "No big deal" right? Wrong! This NM absolutely hates me, the kind of hate that can not be described with words. I never kept track, but if I had to guess, I'd say I'm about 10/150+. True story.

Back to the adventure...the second pop results in nothing, but pop #3 dropped another Tathlum. Zomg! At this rate I'm gonna end up with 5-6 of these before I'm done.

Wrong again...

I proceeded to go 0/14 afterward. What a tease that little worm is. Oh well...theres always tomorrow!

P.S. Don't steal my money making method prz...unless I'm not there. I bite.

Dress to Impress...

Well, this is gonna be a 2 night saga because I have two stories to tell you. We'll start last night ::Cue Flashback::

I get an EXP party fairly early after logging on. A pleasant surprise for sure. I accept, and we head to the Puk camp at the southernmost point of Wajoam Woodlands. The party goes great for 3+ hours, and we eventually disband. I go AFK to read something (Thinking I had Warp Cudgels on me...), and come back to see the last few members (Gizzmo and Alaska) Teleporting out. I go to equip one of my 3 cudgels, only to realize that they have all been used in the last 16 hours ; ;. "Fine, i'll walk." i say to myself.

Timwakefield uses a Silent Oil.
Timwakefield realizes he doesnt have any Prism Powder on him.
Timwakefield panics.

Grrrreat. We'll i'm close to Mamook, maybe i can run from here to the Staging Point there without dying. WRONG! First Puk I see aggro's me, and I am left eating dirt ; ;

Back to today... I log on in the afternoon to do my usual Guild Point/Chocobo Raising routine (BTW, my Chocobo hates my guts. I feed and play with that spoiled little brat every day, and he won't even acknowledge my presence. And I can't seem to get the item for the whistle, ever).
A fellow Vana 'dielian sends me a tell asking if I can help him kill the leeches in Korroloka for the Ninja quest. Sure, I'm not busy. Me and this fellow (I think his name was Evie, but I can't quite remember...) head to the Tunnel, while the Leeches prepare for the beatdown of a lifetime.

As we arrive at the ??? spot where I am preparing to open up a can of whoop-ass, I say to myself "Oh I'm gonna save all my TP up and unleash a Howling Fist for the ages to impress this guy". He pops the Leeches, carnage insues. Evie was almost into the Yellow by the time I annihilated the first Leech. This is when I realized I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into. Leech #2 winked at me, so I Berserked and pounded his face into the ground. "Now is the time" I thought to myself as my TP neared 175. "Prepare to feel the WRATH!!!"

The Whatever-the-hell-its-called Leech uses TP-Drainkiss or whatever its called.
Timwakefield cries.

NOOO! All my work. All I wanted to do was show-off for this level 30 Thief, and I didn't even get to do it. My day was ruined. Maybe next time...

Hello!

I made this blog after being a regular reader of Pasquale's, and seeing Myrrh's new blog today (Yes, I am an unoriginal bastard...). I tend to stray off topic in my writing, and I have a bad habit of using elipsises "..." too much (And I have no idea how to spell that, but I don't care too much to figure it out...). See, told ya!

Anyways, I'm gonna try and update this thing every now and again, because everything I do in-game is a life-changing experience for me and you.
