Saturday Night Limbus, Apollyon NW

Well, we didn't win against Proto-Omega last week, but we didn't fail miserably either!

With hearts set on revenge, we set off to try to get another set of Central Apollyon chips. Proto-Omega was kind enough to drop us a Smoky Chip last so that left Apollyon SW, SE, and NW to go.
We wanted beastcoins - and lots of it. But we already got the chip for Apollyon NE so it was off to NW. We also wanted to give NIN/DRK a try against the mages.

Roll Call: Lunakitty, Jojax, Vashanti, Hiish, Gruive, Xenonsmurf, Lenor, Drargen, Dutrance, Marzanna, Igneusnex.

Tonight we welcome Hiish (PLD and NIN) into our jolly band of Limbo-ers. Welcome!!


Apollyon NW - where the mages run free. Forget about the mobs staying still after the initial voke. These Apollyon Scavengers didn't even know what hit them. The whole run went smoothly all the way up to the last floor.

Skipping major headaches like Fafnir-like mobs, We had 51 minutes to finish off the last floor. With all the experience we've had playing with Kaiser Behemoth, we wiped the floor with him with 30 minutes to spare...

We probably should have spent a little more time killing the other mobs.

Deathga Reports: Hiish (first floor), Lenor (Kaiser Behemoth), Drargen multiple times (as usual) on Kaiser Behemoth.

Itamz: 47 Ancient Beastcoins acquired in total. 4 coins each. DRG AF+1 for Drargen. Nothing else worth mentioning.

Saturday Night Limbus, Apollyon SE

The majority of the LS wanted to farm by killing tonight, so we decided rampage through Apollyon SE.
Tonight we welcome Kariko into the LS. Kariko jumped all the way from Fenrir just to join us - cool huh? :3

Welcome to the LS Kariko. I hope we make your stay here worthwhile ^^

So that brings tonight's line up to: Lenor (NIN), Lunakitty (BLM), Kariko (DRK), Vashanti (RDM), Jojax (MNK), Marzanna (BRD), Solonuke (RDM), Gruive (BLU), Ignuesnex (DRG), Alvar (THF).
Usually do our best to avoid obstacles on the way to killing the Black Card NM and the Swirling Vortex. But tonight, the Black Card NM was no where to be found and this guy was in the way. Bored linkshells like to touch things, so why not. Besides, the UFO tried to abduct Vash.

Things were going great until the UFO decided to charm all of the meatheads whacking away at its underbelly. And we all know how many meatheads there are in ShadowRavenloft LS...
And so, the meatheads turned on the squishies. The details are hazy for me, but I'm pretty sure Marzanna was killed in the massacre. Luna died trying to save everyone with her BLM sleep skillz. Alvar ran off with the UFO after that while everyone tried to recover from the carnage. I decided to continue looking for the damn Black Card NM.

That's pretty much all the excitement to report. The Black Card NM was found and it was business as usual after that. Fantastic drops tonight with two RDM pieces dropping at the first floor.

Deathga Report: People actually died today! Woo! Marzanna, Lunakitty, Vashanti during the UFO massacre. Gruive, Igneusnex, Lenor on the first floor (Fluid Spread + no shadows is teh suck).

Loot Report: 48 coins at the end of the run in total + 4 from previous runs = 5 ancient beastcoins each. RDM AF+1 x2 dropped on the first floor and went to Jojax and Vashanti. PLD and BST AF+1 items dropped on the second floor. Kariko auto-received the BST piece. I decided to hold onto the PLD piece (inv -1 - alright!). SMN AF+1 item on the third floor is being hoarded by Gruive. WHM AF+1 went to Lunakitty for a smashing lot of 95, which reflects her regard for the job in general and Alvar took the WAR AF+1 item.

2/4 chips for Omega. Not long now until our second set.


EDIT: Apparently Gruive took the SMN AF+1 item - woot!

Saturday Night Limbus, Apollyon NE

Around we go again...

Because of your dismal turnout at the moment (people are still busy with exams and stuff) and our inexperience with Proto-Omega (non-existant), we've decided to post-pone the epic battle for the moment and concentrate on getting a spare set of Apollyon chips.

We had a decent turnout for trigger farming tonight, so we decided to farm Apollyon NE. I love this area - even when you target just triggers you get a decent amount of coins for a small group.
Roll Call: Lenor (NIN), Lunakitty (BLM), Alvar (THF), Marzanna (BRD), Solonuke (RDM), Jojax (MNK), Igneusnex (DRG), Gruive (BLU) and this week we welcome Stinkypuppy (WHM) and we welcome back our beloved LS play-boy and MT-King Vashanti (RDM).

Overall it was a really smooth run. We even finished waay before midnight (AEST) for once! The only death to be reported was by Vashanti - he had a little accident with the Mandies on the first floor.

Loot Report: We managed to get all items chests on all floors!
* Ancient Beastcoins total: 64 (plus 5 from previous runs) ! 6 coins for each person.
* AF+1 loot: SAM (went to Jojax - probably got tossed), DRG (went to Marzanna - safe to say it was tossed), DRK (Igneusnex), NIN (was supposed to go to Alvar but I think he d/ced)
* Random Clot Plasma drop went to Gruive.

Best shot of the night:

Good work everyone! \(^ ^)/

Also worth mentioning: Congratulations to Lunakitty for becoming a little less gimped and finally getting Reraise II and her Healer's Mitts.
Maybe Marzanna will cry a little less in her sleep...

Sunday Night Limbus, Apollyon NW

Tonight was round #3 for Apollyon NW. Due to extraordinary circumstances, we held this week's Limbus run was held on a Sunday night.
Attendants: Solonuke (RDM), Jojax (MNK), Keyne (BLM), Ronin (BRD), Balak (RDM), Lunakitty (BLM), Lenor (NIN), Marzanna (WHM), Gruive (BLU), Alvar (THF), Drargen-bot (RDM).

Out of all the Apollyon areas, NW must be my least favourite. Mostly because it's so mage bias and really hurts our meathead oriented linkshell. Fortunately we managed to get some help from Keyne and his friend Balak tonight. All the mobs in this area are really ugly too.
As usual, most of the mobs on the floor were skipped unless they were in the way or we had to kill them to open the portal.

No mishaps on the way to the top but Kaiser Behemoth was being stubborn as usual.
Round and round we go. The best way to take down KB is to run loops around the middle of the room. Of course the BLMs were there to pull hate on purpose, making my life somewhat difficult.
Deaths all around as usual thanks to Meteor but through some amazing miracle, everyone else except Lunakitty died. Isn't that something. The going was still tough, but with two BLMs in the group, we were able to nab the win for a complete set of Proto-Omega chips!

Too bad it will probably be a while before we go up against him. At lot of people are on hiatus because of exams/real life commitments ^^;

Oh well, some day...

Loot Report: Not much of anything since we were after the win. Everyone had 3 ancient beastcoins each. 5 were put into the pot for next week.

Saturday Night Limbus, Apollyon NW Round #2

I managed to get home in time this time for round #2 of Apollyon NW. Attendance was about as fantastic as last week...
Attendance: Igneusnex (DRG), Lenor (NIN), Gruive (BLU), Jojax (RDM), Marzanna (NIN), Lunakitty (BLM), Ronin (BRD).

It was the second time the group attempted this Limbus area, and the first time I tried it myself (I couldn't get home in time the previous week).
Like last week, most of the action happened on the top floor with the Behemoths, or as Luna likes to call them, "Mr. Musclybutt". We skipped what we could from the first three floors and made our way to the last floor.
Unfortunately, we were still underpowered and inexperienced to take on KB. Meteor really is a pain in the ass.

Loot Report: We ran out of time. Everyone got 4 ancient beastcoins as a consolation prize.

A Perfect Night to be at Sea! Apollyon NE, The Ashu Talif

The SR Limbus Brigade was back to its regular level of attendance this week. But that didn't stop us from walking all over Apollyon NE!
Attendance: Gruive (BLU), Davina (RDM), Lunakitty (BLM), Lenor (NIN), Marzanna (WHM), Ronin (BRD), Jojax (MNK), Dutrance (THF).

We've attempted this area before for farming purposes and got as far as the top floor before being eaten by a herd of cows. With only two wins away from a date with Proto-Omega, we decided to take a chance and try for the win by targetting only Portal Trigger NMs.
Wary of how much time we spent on each floor, our main objective was to only open the portals and farm at the last floor. We skipped the Item Chest NMs on the first and third floor but got lucky with the drop on the second floor. In the end, we had enough time to play with the Item Chest NM on the fourth floor and slaughter every single cow (Dhamel) on the last floor for more Ancient Beastcoins.

Loot Report: Despite going on for the win, we managed to net 50 Ancient Beastcoins! Everyone who attended got 6 coins each, leaving 2 for the pot for a total of 7 for next week's run. DRK AF+1 item was tossed. Congratulations to Davina for SMN AF+1 item and Marzanna for getting THF AF+1 item (LAWLZ!).
Casualty Report:Lenor (1) - one shotted by Mr. Ugly up there.

But wait, there's more!

We finally managed to pass Scouting the Ashu Talif quest. We got really pressed for time towards the end, but we made it! Bring on Ashu Talif #2! Q(''Q)

Casualty Report Ashu Talif: Lunakitty (1) - apparently crew members don't like being Thundaga III -ed

Saturday Limbus Report, Apollyon SW

SR LS was in full force for Limbus this week. Which was pretty rare indeed o_o

Unfortunately, it seemed that a lot of groups wanted to do Limbus as well so after jumping from Apollyon NE to Apollyon NW, we finally decided on Apollyon SW because some JP group decided to jump ahead of us.
Attendants: Marzanna (NIN), Gruive(BLU), Barefoot(NIN), Lunakitty (BLM), Drargen (RDM), Igneusnex (DRG), Dutrance (THF), Lenor (NIN), Solonuke (DRK), Davina (RDM), Vashanti (WHM), Ronin (BRD), Jojax (MNK).

We wanted to go for the win and because you could only one chest on certain floors, we didn't get much in the way of ancient beastcoins and AF+1 loot.
ZOMGWTFBBQTREES!!/panic/panic/panic/froth

Actually, the most annoying thing about these Jidra is that they dispelga your Reraise status along with other buffs. They didn't give us too much trouble.

To ensure victory, we opted to pick up Time Chests on the first two floors. We farmed Mimics on the third floor until we got the Item Chest and a Time Chest. Then with the remaining time, we killed the elementals required for the Item Chest on the last floor and farmed the rest for ancient beastcoins until our time in the area was about to run out.
Loot Report: 3 ancient beastcoins for everyone, 5 remaining in the pot for the next run. Congratulations on Jojax for getting the RDM AF+1 item. Enjoy your sexy hat +1.

Deathga Report:
Happened on a Ghost Ship in the high seas -_-;
Scouting the Ashu Talif @ 0/2. Better luck next week... ;~;

Saturday Limbus Report: Apollyon SE

Well, another weekend, another Limbus round. Luna is finally back (somewhat) after running away for holidays! Yay!

Unfortunately, a lot of people were not available because of RL or other LS commitments, so with the group of 9 people we managed to gather together, we farmed for beastcoins in Apolloyn SE..

Member Roll: Lenor (NIN), Marzanna (WHM), Solonuke (DRK), Jojax (MNK), Haplo (RNG), Vashanti (RDM), Ronin (THF), Lunakitty (BLM), Zaeon (DRK).

The CoP-baby Zaeon wanted to come along for the ride to see what all the fuss was about, so we dragged him along for the ride. You should be so lucky, other LSes wouldn't have gone to all the trouble! :0
As usual, the third floor took up most of the time but thanks to our strong melee backbone, we were able to decimate all the weapons on the last floor before time was up. And as usual, we got the AF drops that nobody wanted :p

Loot Report: 45 Ancient Beastcoins - 5 per person. Zaeon declined the coins, so the remaining 5 will be pooled for next week's session. AF +1 Materials - SMN (toss), PLD (toss), DRK (went to Solonuke - Congratuations!), WHM x2 (toss - lol).

Congratulations is also in order for Vash for getting the Loquacious Earring from last week, Jojax for getting a Brutual

Death Report: Solonuke and Zaeon - Fluid Spread is a beetch...


If you want to talk Deathga, let's talk Scouting the Ashu Talif!

After passing a couple more people through The Black Coffin missions, we thought it was time to try making this into a regular event, so we decided to try tacking it onto the end of the Limbus sessions.
Everything was going well until we got overwhelmed while fighting in the middle of the boat. I forgot how crazy the mobs got -_-

Sorry guys, better luck next time ; ;

Saturday Limbus Report - Apollyon SE

Due to technical difficulties, Mr. /GRUNTS can't be here today, so I'm giving the report X)

Nine people attended today but 2/9 of them are RDMs (optional BLM) and everyone else wanted to be "meat head" jobs so we decided to do Apollyon SE again.
Apollyon SE - starring:
Keyne (RDM), Marzanna (NIN), Solonuke (DRK), Jojax (MNK), Gruive (SAM),
Vashanti (RDM) Drargen (DRG), Igneusnex (DRG), Lenor (THF)

I got to be THF again - Yay! Luckily I bought that Thief's Knife last night X)

All-in-all, the run went quite smoothly. Poor Marzanna though, none of the meat heads were "playing nice".

Loot Report:
- AF+1 materials went to Jojax (BRD) and Gruive (SAM) - congratulations!! \(^ ^)/
- AF+1 materials lost because no one wanted it - PLD (Floor 2), BRD (Floor 3), BLM (Floor 4)
- Total number of Ancient Beastcoins: 48 - with 5 going to each attendant and 3 going into the LS pot for next week's run.
- Smalt Chip went to Keyne for use somewhere else since we already have one collecting dust in my Mog Locker.

Casualty Report:
- Drargen x2 - no regard for his own well being whatsoever! ^^
- Keyne - Horror Cloud + Darksday = red HP all around

Thanks for coming everyone! Please keep supporting our cause XD;
