Boroka Bama

Posted on February 10, 2008 by pyra | Leave a comment

Friend in my LS said Boroka was up, so we got together a group and went to make him slightly less alive than he previously was.

I’ve never fought this NM before, so it was a fun fight. But was a lot simpler than expected.

This next picture would be perfect except for the ‘miss’ on the screen. Oh well that’s what I get for turning on the damage report.

boroka2-2

No deaths, although there were a couple close calls.

boroka_end

Yay! Thief kill 4tw. The Auditory Torque was what we were after, so it worked out well. The elf pictured — Yenvious — ended up with it. Skulker’s Cape was sold, and probably used to buy a silent oil.

boroka_drops

Fun fight, wouldn’t mind going back to sell the drops at another time.

Boroka gives you a title too (surprise to all of us involved).

boroka_title

Cool!

Since this didn’t fit anywhere else, and this is already a large post, I wanted to post this pic here.

I helped the AF group do CoP 8-2 and the map acquisition quest. The map part… sucked, a lot. But in the end, we all got it.

For some strange reason, I always hit the NM on Darksday. I was hoping that for once, maybe, I would hit on some other day, but no, Darksday again.

This time, he really spammed the sleepga2.

Good times.

Wings of the Goddess Mission 2

Posted on December 3, 2007 by pyra | Leave a comment

I’ve finished the missions currently available and took a ton of pictures. I’m not going to retell the story as it really goes, I’m going to re-word it greatly.

wotg1

Welcome to Fort Karugo-Narugo [S]. This almost looks like Castle Oztroja.

So I went to the Fort, and ran into a couple of mithras not doing anything. Figures that one is a ranger, they can’t do much since the update a couple years ago.

wotg2

Look, they are STILL standing around not doing anything, while a small taru gets attacked. Shame on them!

wotg3

The taru found a Lynx NM named War Lynx. And thought he could fight.

wotg4

Of course he couldn’t, so its Pyra to the rescue!

wotg5

wotg6

OUCH! This move takes you to 1% HP, which was 3HP for me. Luckily, he wasn’t able to hit me again. But seriously, ouch!

wotg16

So then when I finally beat the Lynx, and save the taru, the yagudo show up.

wotg7

Ohh this is gonna be fun. Oh wait, the mithras finally decide they want to help. Yay! About time you two did something.

wotg8

Wait, it was a trap?! Who didn’t see that coming. Ugh. Wait, fight to the death, what do you mean?!

If this isn’t the biggest look of WTF ever, I don’t know what is.

wotg9

Ohhhh a taru came, and used Blizaga IV on the yags! We saved!

wotg10

And you blinked, just in time to ruin this picture I was taking of you.

wotg11

But who are you? And will you possibly be an important figure in the upcoming storyline? That fancy staff of yours says yes.

So much magic that he doesn’t even stay in focus. I bet that drives all the ladies crazy.

wotg12

Ruh roh, looks like the Yagudo were watching from afar. Methinks we might be in trouble later. Or maybe this is foreshadowing. No, Square Enix never does foreshadowing…

wotg13

But anyways ladies, now that I’ve saved you, I must ride off into the sunset, but we will meet again soon, I’m sure I’ll have to save you again shortly.

wotg15

Meanwhile, back in Heaven’s Tower

wotg17

Oh hello again ladies, so glad you could show up. The Star Sibyl hasn’t been waiting or anything…

wotg18

But who are you, and why do you cover your face? And why can’t I have a Cutscene without her in it, I’m important too damnit!

wotg19

It doesn’t matter who I am, but I have a relic staff, so I’m either Japanese or a gil buyer. We will meet again soon.

wotg20

So those are my pics. I made fun of the mithras a little because they really didn’t do much, but this taru was cool. I hope to see more of him.

That’s my little commentary too. I hope you enjoyed. I might do some editing over the next couple days once I re-read it all.

Wings of the Goddess – Now With Pictures! Part 2

Posted on November 28, 2007 by pyra | Leave a comment

Woooo! My exciting trip to Windy. First sight of the city. Unlike the other two cities, this entrance is in the same place in the present as the past.

Opening CS that somewhat mirrors the new player CS for this zone.

For the Federation! War Warlocks off to battle evil Yagudo.

Ugh, I’ve met her daughter, she tortured me in the Thief AF quests and for Yagudo Necklaces for my Ninja spells. I don’t like where this is going….

Ack! The cooking guild burned down. Someone forgot to turn off their oven I bet.

I liked this picture.

New monster : Toad. And yes, they do link.

After joining up with Windy, I tried out my first Campaign battle. The first encounter did not go well, hit for 1100 right off the bat, then killed right after I was raised.

Eventually I was able to just engage the monster and fight a little. It was interesting, and I can see this being fun.

After Campaign, I decided to try to level my now 24 Dark Knight up a level or two.

I saw this, someone bazaaring a Soul Plate for Absolute Virtue. Haha…. yeah I won’t pay 2 mil for that.

While seeking in Qufim, someone asked me where to buy an Empress Band. Really? You don’t have one by level 20.

And finally, proving that all good mithra names end in the letter ‘a’.

Nmira is a Dancer, which is definitly my next job now. I ended this party at about 4:30 am having gone from about 3K to level 25 to 2K to level 29 (or level 24 – 28 if you wish) in a single party. I almost left after I hit 27, but stayed the extra hour and a half for the level and a half. The party leader dinged 30 dancer and a ranger dinged 29 on our last monster. The party had 2 dancers, 1 scholar, 2 rangers, and me as Dark Knight. Also, there was a 75 pink mage and 75 white mage for power leveling.

Until later

Wings of the Goddess – Now With Pictures!

Posted on November 28, 2007 by pyra | Leave a comment

As promised, here are some pictures. This post ended up being too large (26 pictures) so I’m going to spread it across several postings

We start by traveling back in time.

Whoaaaaoooaaahhh

And that’s just the first Cut Scene.

After hitting the past, I went to work on becoming a Dancer and working my way to Past Sandy.

Here I am as a level 6 Dancer with my friend Golgothan.

The next day, I worked my way to Past Bastok, or Pastok.

Found these guys in Pashow. They were getting ready for a Campaign battle.

Since they were still glitched and may have attacked me, I left them alone.

Still wandering through Pashow, I found some new monsters, and some old ones. This is some new dragon type monster called a Peiste, and an old friend in the background, Ruby Quadav, who only checks as Decent Challange

Here I am just after zoning into one of the new zones, Grauberg, which connects North Gustaberg and Pashow in the past.

I try soloing my Dark Knight up a little bit. As a 21 DRK, most monsters were on the bottom level of Easy Prey, so exp was fairly slow, even with an exp ring.

This is just a nice shot, complete with the comet.

And of course, what would a trip to Pastok be without creative Galkan names.

Yeah….

After leveling my Dark Knight up to 24, the party broke and I went to help the AF team farm some sea organs for gorgets.

Rawr.

12 more pictures coming in the next 24-48 hours depending on when I get time, maybe more if Limbus and/or Dynamis go well this week.

Cheers!

Wings of the Goddess – Early Impressions

Posted on November 27, 2007 by pyra | Leave a comment

So while I found a copy of WotG last week for my Xbox360, I wasn’t able to play until Sunday afternoon, due to Thanksgiving.

I’ve so far managed to get 7 of the 9 Maws, which isn’t too bad. I’ve done the walk to past Bastok and past Sandy. The walk to Bastok took about 1H15, but the walk to Sandy took over 2 hours, which was just idiotic. I think I speak for everyone when I say that there is just no good reason for it to take so long. I’m also not too happy about having to make a second trip with my other account, but that’s another story.

Anyways, most of the monsters are just re-skinned versions of the previously existing counter-parts. Some are identical to the already existing versions, with just a different level. Although I did see Ruby Quadav running around as a Decent Challange monster. That was sure odd.

I do, however, love Dancer. Its a lot of fun, and I’m only up to level 8. I also love what I’m going to call the “Dancer and Scholar Train”. Basically, there are so many dancers and scholars out there that they are begging for anyone on a different job to come to their party. Got 3 levels on my DRK due to this.

Which also brings up my first new-job party. At the end it was DNC/NIN, DNC/NIN, DNC/NIN, SCH/BLM, MNK/WAR, DRK/WAR. 3 Dancers was just crazy. They were doing so much stuff to the monster and it died so quickly it was crazyness. Although I did find that if one Dancer used Aspir Samba and the other used Drain Samba that the last one to hit the monster before you hit it is the one to take effect. So for me, every other hit was an Aspir or Drain, but I would get both an Aspir and a Drain at the same time. Booooo.

Anyways, I’ll try to post some pictures when I get home. Going to join the forces of Windy tonight, and sneak/invis my way to Past Windy. Should be interesting.
