Salvage in Ragnarok actually pays off!

On Wednesday we got KV again, and this time I was Bard for it which I must admit, was a nice change. SV’d Madrigals for the melee to just rape that scorpion and actually, we got drop!

He’s been camping it alot, so I am sure he well deserves it. Grats!

Next day SpikeFlail was doing Limbus, and since I’m pretty much broke, couldn’t join. The good thing, though is that Jowy didn’t find a party for SCH (well that’s not a good thing, I know~) so together along with Kerb went out for some Sea farming. Sadly I believe we just got a Grah M Chip for Fortitude, which I guess it’s fine, but it was quite troublesome.

I went on Red Mage, I really need to finish that job as soon as possible, or at least get it to 72! I’m playing it mostly gimp for the time being (i.e. no pants/cape/belt) so stuff resists alot. It was all good fun though, as much as I died! But I think that everytime there’s a meeting of tarus in Sea, death is inminent, so as far as the Universe’s stability remains, I’m happy. :D

I believe this was on Thursday and after that I went to bed (and left the couple do their couples-things under no surveillance at all!).

On Friday I took most of the time to do windower macros and camped KV, though no pop sadly, afterwards SF had Odin which according to Jowy dropped W.Body, E.body and some Phantasmal abjuration I can’t really recall (I have such bad memory). After it though, Salvage was scheduled and being my first run “ever” and with people I don’t know much I admit I was a bit nervous. Jowy settled me down though, told me not to worry and to do as told. Man I really enjoyed it, pity we didn’t kill the Bhaflau remnants boss, wipe at 9% :/ We’ll get it next time, I’m sure! And now, pics!

Many taru lives were spared, including mine (about 3 times?), Jowy’s, Ultimatetaru and even the live of Roulateau, a brave companion. It actually paid off though as we got Anu’s Tiara which I passed (I don’t think I ought to lot, not yet at least, and I don’t have funds to build a salvage piece either). Panoramix and Pace got Hizaku feet which completes Pace’s 3/3 on Usukane feet, Grats!!!!

Today dynamis… can’t wait!

Account recovery and King Vinegarroon, all in one day!

As most of you deduced from the last post, I managed to snatch back my character. The process was shorter than I expected (took a week and a day) and was really well-attended by SE employees.

After being able to actually log back in the first instinctive was ti check Inventory, Mog House and Mog locker. There was barely anything valuable left, only three NQ staves (light, wind and ice) and the character was in the worst imagined conditions. It helped a bit though, that the character was returned to me before they had time to move gil out of it, so it had 900k in it, which allowed me to regear in its most basic form both White Mage and Bard (this last one  needs only a Wind torque to return to it’s prior state). White mage, on the other hand, was slightly harder.

Was able to buy a Noble’s tunic, blessed slacks, rainbow cape (choosen because Black Mage can use it as well). Lucky me, I still have some R/Ex that will get the work done (such as Rostrum pumps) but I’ll still miss most of the gear.

After fixing and doing some basic macros Jowah finally logged on. She was pretty surprised, because I hadn’t told anyone except Cookies (who was on msn at the same time I was getting ahold of the account). She was leveling SCH so I proceeded to PL (or rather help PL) so I could unrusty a bit more. Meanwhile King Vinegarroon popped and SpikeFlail didn’t have many players on, so I tagged along to help hold it until more players could log on to kill.

It was really fun, got to meet many nice people and very skilled as well! Sadly KV had nothing really good for us (in other words, no drop!). But I got access to a new Title, which I am thankfull for~

Hopefully can get ToAU done now, and get some money to finally ungimp myself a little bit more.

Practicing a bit

Quickie update. Like I said in livejournal, no news yet on the restoral of the account, but today Cookies was playing and 2boxing his other account, so I offered to play with it… He let me play Toxity (lolHume but thanks a bunch!), then just PlasticSurgeon‘d to look like myself.

Of course, I used the powerful arts of dancing to look myself like a fool.

Now let’s hope I can do this on my character soon (and preferably on my Aristo’s WHM!)

I left like this…

And now hopefully can get my account back thanks to the new account retrieval procedure. Long live to the new Sofo!!!

Really looking forward to play with the rest of tarutarus from Ragnarok (special thanks to Jowy for cheering me up to come back~)
