So I’ve been thinking a lot about life, liberty, and the persuit of pixelated goodies.  And I thought I’d make a list of what I’ve gotten as a result of being in this ls.

AFv2-

MNK Hands (Jeuno)
THF Hat (Windy)

Sky Gear-

Byakko’s Haidate
Genbu’s Kabuto
Suzaku’s Sune-ate
Genbu’s Shield
Suppanomimi

Sea Gear-

Rajas Ring
Brutal Earring
Both items for THF AF+1 (have not picked an item yet)

Pop NMs-

Optical Hat
Swift Belt

Other-

Rapparee Harness

That’s really a lot of stuff. Consider that my first ls only ‘bestowed’ upon me the Aquarian Abjs for Head and Pants (without, of course, nearly the funds to buy the cursed item), and WHM AFv2 head, feet, and SMN AFv2 hands, this ls exceeds many by a lot.

My second real ls got me the Yinyang Robe, A Abj Feet, Rostrum Pumps, Reverend Mail, WHM AFv2 Body and Pants, and gave me a cursed crown for my existing Abj.

My Tamas ring was all on my own, no ls ever helped me beat the airship battle for CoP.

The third ls I was in (very briefly as they stoped doing end-game about 2 weeks after I joined) got me the MNK AFv2 boots (although the leader tried to break her own rules and give it to her friend), and that’s it. They took the MNK AFv2 pants away when they did break their own rules, and allow a friend of the leader to lot over me (I still lotted, but lost). I was the only one who was elegible at the time, but I hated the dynamis leader. I was not sad to see this ls die.

In terms of time, this is the longest I’ve ever stayed with an ‘end game’ ls. I don’t think its just for the items, but I’m sure that shinies help. This ls is fairly unique in that they work together for the benefit of the group. Many LSes work for the benefit of the leaders first, then everyone else next. And while we certainly have our fair share of the greed, it isn’t as bad as many places I’ve seen. The inclusion of free days is amazing — many ‘end game’ type LSes have a high burn-out rate as the constant camping of monsters and activities can really lead to exhaustion quickly, especially with people who have jobs and/or families, and cannot afford to spend 12+ hours in front of their computer everyday.

I love doing new things with new people. This LS gave me the first opportinuty to really get into Limbus. While we might have some troubles with the learning curve on some battles, we are getting better and working better as a team. The Limbus group was also the first time I was allowed to take control and try my hand at leading a group. It is fun, and I hope it continues to be as much fun as it is now.

In terms of what we can kill, this is not my ‘best’ ls, in terms of what really matters, it definitly is.
