Cuddles.

Apologies in advance, but fraps decided it wasn't gonna take any screenshots when I told it to so I'll have to make do with oldpics.

Dynamis-Beaucedine didn't happen. I was looking forward to it, since it's the only clear I need to get Xarcabard access, but some other LS showed up without scheduling a run and we decided to move so not to make a fuss. Instead, everyone went off to do Dynamis-Xarcabard and I went off to bed. Ah well, there'll be a next time.

I flagged up on RDM for the first time in months, only to not get an invite for over an hour and gave up.


I like this picture. If only the rat's foot hadn't been eaten by the stairs.

Cuddles, my long serving and loyal mule, hasn't had much mention yet, but that's mainly because he's a mule and I don't play him much. A shame, because I dumped a crapload of gil and effort into him because I fancied the idea of having a Galka Monk at my disposal. Anyway, progress is slow (as is with anything I do, apparantly) and over the course of a couple of years leveling him off and on, I've got him to 58. Just got him his AF body (Temple Cyclas) which, as with most MNK AF has its uses, but only as a macro piece for job abilities (Chakra, in this case).
He used to look pretty damn cool in his gear, but the 50's have played a toll on his good looks

Pretty nice...


Absolute mess.



I'm currently getting him his Runic Portals all done, and then sort out access to all the past areas. After I've got all that done, off to 75 with him! He's got a pair of Destroyers waiting for him in his safe, and hopefully I can get him a few bits of gear from sky (mainly Byakko's haidate and a Shura Togi - the latter which will cost me about 800k as well). My only gripe with his current gear is that he's lacking a Peacock Charm, but I hardly think it's THAT bad if I use a Chivalrous Chain in its place.

I hope to sort out a decent evasion/haste set up for him as well, to try some tanking or soloing on MNK, but I'm not sure how much of a good idea this is since I don't know how often he'll be getting used, even after 75.
