Ding 37 and the Lazy Square-Enix

I’ve finally finished.  Way too much work for what I get out of it.

The it is, of course, a level 37 White Mage for my Chi Blast sub.

Yay 37 … er, grrrr.  Lazy goblin, give me 3 more experience points!

Ahhh there we go, much better.

And yes, I did kill an easy prey for 15 experience points.

I’m no saint, I just wanted the sub to be finished.

🙂

Moving along.

Last week, I obtained the Thief AFv2 body piece.  And I noticed something, it looked strangely familiar, but I just could not place my finger on it.

afv2body

The pockets on the arms though, and the way the vest is, with the side pouches at the bottom.  Could it be?

Could the Pahluwan Khazagand be a reskinned version of the Thief AFv2 body?  The answer

overlay

Yes.  This is an overlay of the 2 above screenshots with the AFv2 on top and set to 50% transparency.  The vest, arm pockets, and side pockets all line up.  They did, however, add in a shirt underneath.

That being said, I like how the body turned out, anyone know how I can reskin my Pahluwan Khazagand to look like this?

snowfrake

My favorite Engrish name ever.

As a White Mage, I actually die a lot more than you’d expect.

I’ve been somewhat lucky in getting a couple "Moment of Impact" shots, both from dynamis.

Here you go.

I would not have done nearly as much in this game if it wasn’t for some of my friends.

One of the best of these friends, is Chumley, wherever he may be today.  I was introduced to him by a mutual friend at the time, who quit once he was deployed overseas.  Chumley was kind enough to sign my Noble’s Tunic.  The one before, and the one after mine both HQd.  I definitely would have preferred to wear a HQ one signed by Chum, but I will never sell this Noble’s.

This is for you Chum.

Another group of friend did the Windy Missions together when we all had breaks from our LSs in Oct 2005.

This is from the inside of the monastery in Davoi.

Dandelyon was also a good friend.  She too, quit the game, but her husband, Sprinkles, still plays.  The elf warrior on the left is Vaulaude.

My final two pictures are from Dragon’s Aery, and the exit back into Zitah.

Until next time.

Yet More Old Photos From the Archive

 diabolos

Few people know it, but I was one of the first to get Diabolos.  As soon as I got him, I went to play around.  A crowd gathered because everyone wanted to see what it could do. For the people who were there, this would be the first time any of them had seen Diabolos.

stallion

What people also do not know is how far back Stallion and I go.  He organized my first CoP static.  It died out after a couple weeks, but we still managed to get through a handful of missions.  This is one of the reasons I was happy to help him with the 8-3 and 8-4 battles.

zencart

While browsing for other pictures, I ran across this one.  Could that be?  Zencart?  This was me leveling my SMN in the high 60’s, probably in Bibiki Bay.

Sometimes the game messes up.  Thankfully, I was quick on the screenshotting 🙂

I’ve got one more entry in this series I’m working on.  It will be posted soonish.

Chat Lines that Amused me

enkedoodle

Biggest waste of money ever.  Never used them, ended up selling them off for 50K.

Proof that sky doesn’t suck as much as everyone thinks it does.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.  If you get it, you get it.

Really?  "She" defeats.

ayslain_hates

Awwww Ayslain hates this game.  That’s why you got BANNED.

I hope no one actually bought that.

On the upside, I did get my O Kote, and I still have them.

Good marketing for V-Day.

From the Photo Archives

I’ve been taking screenshots in this game since about the time I started and found out what buttons to hit to take them.

I came across this old one today and wanted to post it.  Deergirl is my current Sandy mule, but at one point was my Windy mule.

 Deergirl_and_afv2

Now, this might not be impressive, until you see the date — 2004.  This was taken late-summer 2004, and this White Mage already had AFv2 body.

For reference, most players I know had not started, or were only playing for about 6 months when this screenshot was taken.

I was running by this player, and I saw what looked like the normal AF body, but it didn’t quite look right.  And for some strange reason, it was a lvl 74 item.  It was not for a couple more months that I realized what it was I had seen.

At last check, Xyiliumy still played.

I saw her character much later.

I wish I could make faces like that in my /seacom.

More to come soon!

I’ve done it!

I’ve done it, actually done it.

What have you done Pyra?

I’ve turned the mithra into the biggest skank out there.

Even RSE would cover more, which is saying a lot I think.
