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.

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.
