Redemption.

I earnt back my Iron Emblem, so ten or so more days and I'll be done with the available Campaign medals and won't have to bother wasting my time in Campaign battles and instead get a real merit party. I'm definately going to ditch my three levels of Paralyze II for Phalanx II, just I need motivation (and some spare time) to actually go and do it.

Dynamis-Bastok almost provided that motivation, with two pairs of Duelist's Gloves dropping (which give +15 Enhancing Magic skill, great for Phalanx and the like) and I was actually so tired that I didn't notice that either had dropped until people had already been given permission to lot on them...ugh.


Was the only thing that dropped when I was fully awake, and so the only thing I have a screenshot of. We cleared the entire zone with a good while to spare again, and the novelty had worn off by then, so I just went to bed.


Did a gods run in sky, starting with Kirin;


Which was a little dicy, since we had 2 kiters, who weren't both fully equipped to last the whole fight. Fortunately, we only lost one to Stonega IV, which was soon followed by Astral Flow, which could have been disasterous had the second kiter not survived it. First time he's not dropped an Osode for a while, just N. Body and a Shining cloth.

Did a round of normal gods after, which I like to take pictures of, especially flying Suzy or Seiryu.



I later got swapped out of the alliance for another RDM who hadn't been in yet, which is fine and all but I always get swapped out before Seiryu which is the only one I really care about being in the party for, just because I love to see Paralyze on for Hundred fists.
Speaking of which, despite Seiryu being weak to Ice, I always have a horrible stick rate with my paralyzes, despite having a fully merited Tier II spell, with 5/5 Ice accuracy merits, full enfeebling, a High Quality Staff, all my enfeebling skill gear with Mind everywhere else and it still consistantly resists. Bind, on the other hand, sticks alot more regularily (unfortunately for me, we just have a Paladin use Invincible for Seiryu so I get no glory from binding it). These experiences of Paralyze II are what is convincing me to get rid of the spell, especially when I try Paralyze I immediately after and it lands...


Sigh...
