The shell is all about getting items. Items for only the founding members. Members who already have just about everything, and who the new item doesn’t give them anything they don’t have, over those who have very little gears.

Example — item falls, old member who could use it in maybe 2% of the time would always get the item over a newer member who could use it around 25-30% of the time.

Most recently, they started ZNMs. Well, sort of.

Sunday night I’m on, I see “OK we’re going to go pop some T2/3 ZNMs for Tinnin now”, I reply “What about T1’s?”, leader replies “We don’t need anymore, only T2/3 now”. So all the time I spent farming up my 9K zeni was wasted because the leader decided to #1 pop T1’s when very few were on, and #2 no one else was deserving enough to get T1 drops. Since it is a policy of ‘your pop, your pick of the drops’, they have essentially locked those who weren’t on during the who-knows-when it was they popped the T1’s from being able to pop a T2/3 and getting to pick their item.

On top of that, they ‘forgot’ to record the sky god kills from last week, and since it is a point-based system, I not don’t have enough points to lot on anything i could actually wear. All because around 30 points were not recorded because the leader was not paying enough attention (I currently have 19 points, so these missing 30 would bring me to almost 50, a respectable sum for a new member). I don’t even make the attendance rates now, all because a huge event was not recorded (also, those who got items did not have points deducted, so they can get the next item up for bids even faster too). Hurray.

So I’ll probably go to the ZNMs tonight, if they happen. If it goes like last week, I’m going to have to drop the shell for something new. No point in wasting all of my time like this.

Mood: Frustrated

We got…. hounds and a wivre boss.

It was much easier this time, although I ended up about 1.2K exp lower than I started.

It was fun, and another 960 iccy things.  Woot!  Need 15K for … stuff.

It was quite interesting, and I’m glad I got to go.

When I entered, I had less HP than a lvl 40 monk.  Let the fun begin.

And, of course, I was running around naked.

Since I was the monk, I got my most important stats/gears unlocked first.

Man I look cool >.>

We did Silver Seas, but only went with 6 people.  We only made it to the third floor, but was still a lot of fun.

OMG these imps suck.  I would (easily) hit 1K on asuran, but their health bar wouldn’t move.  And they just spammed the silence and amnesia move.

But it was fun.  I would have gone the next day too, but I fell asleep when I got home from work.  Oh well, always next week.

-pyra

It went a lot better than expected.

I went with my new sky/sea/einherjar/salvage shell, JudgmentofAsgard.  They combine with another shell for larger events.  The combined shell is called JudgmentofMidgar.  So I’m going to be adding a couple new categories for both of these.

Anyways, the group is fairly new to Einherjar, and I have absolutely no clue what to do.  I wasn’t even sure I would make the run, but after reading about Mischa’s Einherjar funtimes, I decided I had to go.

The group gathers.

As we get in.  Monsters are hounds, bats, and a boss wivre.

I like this pic, everyone charges the boss.  I had this mistaken for the buffalo we fought before, and was wondering why we just charged it.

It had so many hit points, and the attack down sucked, especially since I was dual boxing a whm and trying to keep it off of my melees.

Amazingly enough (to me at least) we actually win on the first try.

The boss has some spike flail like move whenever someone behind him gets hate.  This caused issues, although it was absorbed by shadows.

With many people dead (see my weakened icon at that top of that last screenshot?), someone had to step up and kill the thing.

At least we didn’t wait until the last minute or anything…

And of course the drops.

E Legs.  I’ve never actually seen them fall before.  It is by no means an amazing item, but just seeing a KB drop on my first ‘jar was really neat.

After the win, came cleanup and raises.

I see a Cyana.  She/he (?) once told me that “I dont trust ppl with names that begin with P anyways… or E. Shady lot those ppl with names beginning with E!  BUT THE P’s ARE WORSE!” (link)

Haha, I’m in ur shell now.  .  Cy is fun, and I like to give people a hard time.

Oh, and I got 960 of the amps of icky things.

Fun times.  Can’t wait for the next run already.
