Determination.

I finally got around to finishing the last bunch of WoTG quests, and did some exploring after I spent an hour or so (including one death - trying to aggro bombs before I escaped) trying to figure out how to get through The Eldieme Necropolis [S]. Fortunately the guy who designed it, while still a sadist, made it possible to cross the area without the help of anyone else.

I thought I'd check out the little island in Battalia Downs while I was there:


So much for Jeuno [S]...


Finishing up the quest (Zeid is hot btw).


Afterwards, I got slept by the BLM orc in the room, so I had to sit and watch the other three orcs in the room link before they woke me up. Needless to say, it didn't make for an easy escape.

Now in order to continue with the latest quest additions I've gotta complete the all the missions first. Which means the Dragon BC in La Vaule.

We aren't best friends.

Of course I look up the quest, and check out the testimonials given by the ever-honest and relable populace of Vana'diel.


LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, SHALL WE??

Easy, eh? I'll have no trouble doing this then!

*skips off through Jugner [S] and through La Vaule, after gearing up and getting supplies*

Things are going well, I'm still at near full MP, thanks to a Yagudo drink and Galarhigg is at 50%. Just when I appreciate my Dragon Killer trait kicking in three times in a row, he decides to flip out and double attack three times in a row. Healing Breath wasn't fast enough to keep up, and I go down. For shame.

I Home Point, and chalk it up to bad luck - after all, I was doing so well up to that point.

Attempt number #2!

Oh hey, you thought you turned away in time? I beg to differ. GAME OVAR.

Attempt number #3!

Even if I'd have brought holy waters, there's literally no way I could have survived this.

So in summary, the person who put that there is either lying or got incredibly lucky not to see any 'you die now' moves. Or I just plain suck, could go either way.

Pic of the day?



Another addition to my (somewhat lacking) healing breath gear!


Only improvements here would be AF legs +1, homam feet (which means starting limbus ._.) and a Wyrm armet, which may not be too difficult to obtain with the improved icelands drop rate (we got 2 last Xarcabard) but I'll be focusing on getting RDM first. Irritatingly enough, the ones I'm missing are the most significant boosts.
