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

Zomgz wru Kamo!?!

Sorry all, i've been really busy in RL land.

My posting have been behind, and I havent gotten around to working on the CoP series yet because of it.

Hopefully my work will let up and give me less hours but until then my time is limited ; ;

Wish you all the best

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... ;~;

Doing the Jungle Boogymen

We poor! So it was time to lynch Tonberries for various Torques and Elemental Ores! Q(''Q)

We've done "Jungle Boogymen" before and it was pretty darn profitable for mass BCNM events. It's a pretty straight forward too. All you need is a Sleeper (read: BLM), some healers and damage dealers to take out the mobs one by one. The only hassle is getting everyone through the Wooden Gate leading to the Sacrificial Chamber - especially with less than 4 lanterns.

Special thanks to Gruive of helping to open the gate to the Sacrificial Chamber.
Attendants: Jojax (MNK), Kysuke (NIN) , Lenor (NIN), Ermione (NIN), Spierz (BLM), Littleawkward (WHM), Marzanna (BRD), Drargen (RDM).

The N00b of the Day award goes to Jojax for forgetting that this BCNM is capped at lv 60.

Congratulations~ \(^ ^)/

She still did pretty well in grabbing hate despite being half-naked. NINpride -1...
The team went 7/8 rounds of the BC. Condolences to Kysuke for wiping on his orb >_<;; Carbuncle Astral Flow is a real killer. We're splitting and sharing all the profits anyway so you still get something ^^; We managed to bag Enfeebling Torques x2 and Wind Torques x2 plus a couple of Earth Ores, so sizeable pay-packet for everyone ^^

Deathga Report:
Rnd #2 - Lenor(1), Jojax(2 - failed RR attempt), Littleawkward(2 - failed RR attempt), Marzanna(1), Kysuke(1) - full party wipe to Astral Flow Carbuncle XD;
Rnd #5 - Ermione
Rnd #6 - Ermione (Mijin Gakure @ low health stings)
Rnd #8 - Lenor - Astral Flow Carbuncle -_-;

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 ; ;

There's no Christmas in Shadow Ravenloft

From now on, the following KSNM is banned from this LS for a {Long time}...

Fortunately, we still managed to get SOME gil by switching to the Double Dragonian KSNM. The drops weren't really appropriate for mass selling and splitting, but it was better than nothing ^^;

Saturday Limbus Report, Temenos West

Once again we delve deep into the depths of the Al'Taieu sea to liberate Ancient Beastcoins and AF+1 materials from random unsuspecting mobs. With no BLM this week and 10 participants, we decided to try farming Temenos West.

Attendees: Lenor (NIN), Marzanna (NIN), Vashanti (RDM), Ronin (BRD), Jojax (MNK), Gruive (SAM), Solonuke (DRK), Alvar (THF), Igneusnex (DRG), Drargen (RDM).

No that wasn't a typo. Drargen came as a red squishy.

The going was a bit slow in certain places and we had some moments of desperation when time was running out and the mobs were stingy with the Time chests, but we managed to pull through with a win! We even managed not to wipe on the last floor without sleepga to make things easier. Who needs BLMs when you have obstinate SRMeatheads?

Go SRMeatheads, go! Q(''Q)
Loot Report: 56 ancient beastcoins including 5 from previous runs means 6 coins per participant. Congratulations to Ronin for getting one of three BRD AF+1 drops (/swt) Congratulations to Gruive for grabbing the SMN AF+1 drop.

Casualty Report: What? Only 2 casualties? Where's the SR spirit in that?! Better deathga performance next week puriizu kthxbai.

Anyway, Marzanna copped death by relentless Enhanced Onion (Mandagora) attack.

Drargen came as RDM so Marzanna could come as NIN - what a hero. Of course being backline support didn't stop him from dying. Drargen got murdered by Enhanced Blobs (Slime) that woke up from Sleep on the wrong side of the bed. Congratulations Drargen! You still hold the LS "Death Magnet" title.

Fantastic team work everyone - especially on the last floor. Good job on the win! ^^
