The thoughts and life of Cyberstorm
It’s that of the year! The moogle’s grant us gifts and tell us how much we suck. I don’t think I’ve ever posted my Adventuring Stats on my blog before, so I thought I’d make a small update including them…
I don’t spam GM’s enough!
But more importantly, we get that special gift that is well worth it…
A whole new ring, I can’t wait to use it :3 All for now~
Today my sky/sea linkshell decided to do sky gods for the first time. Due to time restrictions, we only were able to fit in two gods, Byakko and Seiryu.
Seiryu’s drops were the best of the two. Got two Zenith Pant’s drops and the lolsword.
I got the lolsword so I can pretend I have a Ridill. 
Byakko had shit drops sadly. One day I’ll get that damn Haidate!! 
It feels good to do sky again, seeing as how the last time I did anything sky related was back in early 2006…
Interesting note: {Hmmm.} in the auto-translator shows up as {むむむ。} (mumumu) in the Japanese client. The mumumu part made me lol…
…Anyway…
I finally finished my Elemental Magic skill merits… Only having Black Mage at level 75 forever.
And now that Elemental Magic is done, it’s time to start doing Enfeebling Magic. I got it to level 2 before I started hating merit parties again.
Sea time! I got another new piece of gear from sea, an Astute Cape (from Ix’DRG)! This will be armor piece #129 that is ex in my collection.
As of right now, I have two jobs that are close to 75 that I never level. One is Dark Knight, the other is Thief. What I’ll probably end up doing is using Thief in Campaign to keep my rank (which is about to delevel AGAIN! GRR), and maybe do the same on Dark Knight. Dark Knight’s invite rate is super poor sadly, which leaves me LFP for a good 4+ hours before I get a party invite.
However, I did get a good party not too long ago and I did hit level 69…
The last 5 levels will be good. At 70 I get O. hat and Fire Bombet, 72 I get Dusk Gloves, 73 I get Perdu Sickle, 75 I get Askar, Brutal Earring, and W. Turban. I’m sure there’s other things I’m forgetting about in that range, but it’ll be good. :3
WHY CAN’T I FIND A BLOG STYLE I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111ONE
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I wanted to try out WordPress 2.5 (the newest one), and they are taking their swet time getting WordPress mu out and running, so I decided to ditch the mu blog. I was the only one using it, and I would never post anyway so it has died.
Nothing but spam bots too, they kept registering. So I’ve closed the mu blog’s registration, and I have a 304 redirect from all http://blogs.fungusamungusls.com/cyberstorm/ to http://blog.fungusamungusls.com/, keeping the same syntax you entered.
As with every move, most of the images are missing on the older posts (not that anyone reads those anyway), and I’ll eventaully get around to fixing those broken images.
So, I went a whole month without updating… Well let’s see… I guess I’ll start from the last time I updated…
February 29th, 2008
Baclrock, Rilian, and I got together a Double Dragonian run and did two orbs each. Making me, for once, not poor. Balrock ended up getting his Destroyers for his monk (the main reason he wanted to do this), and I got some cool stuff too.
March 1st, 2008
Somehow I managed to get 240 in Great Axe skill, allowing me to quest for Steel Cyclone. And while breaking the trial Great Axe, I got a parry skillup. 
March 2nd, 2008
Rilian, Myranda, Pururunnyan, and I started doing swift belt runs. NIN, BST, WHM, THF was able to kill not only the Hume, but the Mithra swift belt monsters. It took us about a week (we could only do runs when we were all online), but we all got our swift belts finally.
March 16th, 2008
Obtained the highest Campaign rank that’s currently available.
March 28th, 2008
Put another 3 meirts into Elemental Magic.
March 29th, 2008
Nyzul static finally got our first body drop off floor 80. Askar for me.
April 1st, 2008
I turned 19. Yes, April 1st is my birthday.
A lot more stuff happened than what I’ve posted, but all the screenshots are on my laptop (since I play on my laptop at college), so I’ll probably make another post later with more stuff. Also, I’ll try to update more frequently.
Whoops, forgot to add this is my last entry…
I went 1/5 on that damn NM, with TH3. Also, he’s a bitch to solo at 71 THF without any evasion gear. He’s only really bad when he 2 hours and then double attacks, draining near 600 HP in one attack round.
Also, blog logo updated. I’m not sure if I like it though, may need some more work still…
Last week was winter break, meaning I had the whole week off, and I didn’t update once (except to say that I added a new style).
So what has been going on? Not a whole lot.
Last Saturday (the 16th), I ranked up again in Campaign. Only two ranks left to go until I hit the top (for now)!
DRK has stopped completely. Invites just suck. It takes a good 3-5 hours to get a party, and then it’s off to kill maybe 5 Imps before the party disbands. It took me from Friday to Wednesday to get one level.
So Dark Knight may be 68 for a long time to come, which sucks since I liked it a lot… I even got a Perdu Sickle, which will be nice when I finally do level it to 73.
Before I got Dark Knight to 68, I went into two Besieges on Warrior and got my Scythe skill to 240 so I could get Spiral Hell.
So I tele’d out to Kuftal and started working on breaking scythe. In the process, my parry leveled to 185.
And after a few hours and some help, I got the WS, which, as it turns out, sucks a whole lot…
Maybe at level 72 when I can use my sea gorgets, it’ll be better… Maybe…
Last Wednesday, after my Dark Knight party disbanded, I got a party on my Red Mage. It was your standard RDM, BRD, WAR, WAR, DRK, MNK party on Colibri. Ended up getting 21,000 exp/hr and a total of 34415 exp. It was fun too, a little stressful at times, but no one died and we never lost the chain, so it was good. :p
And it didn’t stop there :p, we killed one more after it.
The last party I had that was like this was on July 31st, 2007. Only last time I was the Bard that was pulling, and we had two bards in that party.
So what did I end up spending those merits on? I decided to put them into Bard and Black Mage…
Yesterday I spent some time doing the last two S.O.B. quests to get my Promise Badge. It’s been a really long time since I’ve done a quest, and I didn’t want to buy it (50,000G on the AH), so I sucked it up and quested it. The quest wasn’t so bad, the only thing that sucked was getting the coffer key (1/42 on it), and then getting the weed off of spiders in Kuftal (1/12-ish). Took me a good 4 hours or so, but it was worth it…
With that, I now have enough MND (4 more than I need actually) and Enhancing skill to have stoneskin’s potency capped on Black Mage. Seems like kind of a lame reason really, but the badge was free, and it means I can sell my Holy Phial (which I already have) for 10,000G. :p
So that’s all that’s happened this week. I’ll probably spend some more time meriting on Red Mage/Bard so I can finish off Ice Potency and work on my Elemental and Enfeebling magic merits…
I just can’t find anything I like ._.;
Hopefully I’ll be able to modify this one to fit what I want. I was just browsing around the net and found it, and it stuck out so here it is! I’m still in the process of fixing it up so it looks nice with the mods I’ve created and such.
Only thing I don’t like is going from having two sidebars to only one, which means I have to cram a lot of content into one little space. Oh well, I’ll just have to make due.
Also, the image with me singing is probably only temporary, I used it for the DeepBlueFungus logo when we started up again (for like a week, lawd), and decided I’d give it a try here. I’ll probably change it to something BLM related one day…
…one day…
It was Janurary 30th, 2007 when my Paladin hit level 70. Since then, I have stopped leveling Paladin and sold all my gear.
Then, Campaign was released. It allowed me to get exp without doing my job. It took me only 5 days to get Paladin from level 70 to level 74. PLD/NIN is actually a really good DD in Campaign it seems, and it’s also easy to get loads of exp (2000-3000) a round.
Sadly, school started back up and I had to stop doing Campaign battles for awhile. I finally got around to going back and doing some last night (to keep from ranking down). I actually ranked up to the first emblem, and just now realized that I forgot to screenshot it. Oh well. >_>;
Anyway, I managed to get 20k exp in Campaign, and so I hit level 75 finally on Paladin!
I think they should add Cyberstorm attains level 75! after the battles so people can tell when you level up. :p
Side note: yes, I do need to recap shield and sword now. Since you don’t get skillups with allied tags on (and no exp without allied tags), my sword and shield are capped at what they would be if I was a 70 Paladin. Oh well, I can just go PLD/NIN in a merit party and skillup there.
Sunday morning (yesterday), I had a shitty party on Dark Knight in Caedarva Mire. A level 66-67 party is a terrible idea for there. We even had a powerlevel and still wiped (along with the PL) several times. Took forever, but I finally got the 5000 exp I needed to level up and some buffer before we disbanded.
Hopefully my next party will go much better than that one did…
