You have my Soul and my Sword.

I've said before that I was a gimped whm. Well I finally decided to change all that. I was gonna get all my Teleports. ALL OF THEM. Okay not really, Tele-Vazhl could rot for all I care. Tele-Yhoat is the s$%* though and same goes for Altept. So to do this I enlisted a good buddy of mine and LS mate: Loferecuent, the drunken bard! He got bard to lvl 70 some how while drunk. And thankfully with Lof came his NPC! I need to get one of those...And another friend of mine and LS mate: Evey! The prettiest Elvaan lady. She was about 50 RDM. With them aggro from the tele spawn points was gonna be easy squeezy. My two wonderful elvaan helpers were assembling and getting other things done. So I decided to run and do something completely different!(Evey and Lof have real lives and needed to attend to them, who am I to ask who/why/what?)
I went to go get myself started on DRK/SAM/PLD unlocking. I went over to Bastok and some of it's mines to get my Emosword. Grabbed that and then ran off to Kazahm in hopes of getting to Norg alive. Which happened but I got lost, upon reaching the cliff which divides the lowlands with the highlands I tried running my choco directly off the cliff...for thirty minuets...roughly. I then got off my choco and tried running down myself, choco's don't go into certain zones any how. Noooope. The reason that I got to Norg was because I am lucky, no skill just luck ;.; Another bard I did not know from anywhere; Dravion ran by and we chatted for a moment.he was willing ot show me the way and sent me an invite to party. I basically interrupted a merit party ;.; He showed me how to get down without dying. Then how to get to Norg without dying.
Norg is a very strange place. It's like Pirate Ninja Samurai Mercenary Headquarters. Which is a complex idea and at the same time nonsensical. I'm some what surprised that Corsair isn't unlocked there. I may never under stand things like this. But I did grab the pop items for the NMs that needed to be killed to unlocked Samurai. I quickly looked over the spects and saw that the requirement of hte quest was 30. I had lvl 41 WHM. This looked like it was going to be too easy, so I ran out the the Highlands and tried ot kill Forger. I buffed up and ran in cause that's all I could do. The end results:
It was laughing at me -_- It ate through my stoneskin in two hits. It then snorted up my shadows from blink. To say the least I died, quickly and I quote Lof: "Are you wearing toilet paper armor?"
To which I responded; "I'm a WHM."
So Lof came to help and he brought Evey after I re-obtained the pop item necessary for another Forger. This time, Loferecuent ATE FORGER. I love that drunken bard. Lof even has a Swan Bilbo, he might be one of the only Bards on our server that has that.Either way after Forger was eaten it was on to some other thing in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, I think it was a Gobbie. Lof literally killed it too fast, I popped it and then there was something in the treasure pool...I love that bard. Lof and Evey ran to Jueno to resupply and wait for me to get my Samurai sword. Which I did...after I got disconnected and reconnected. Three hours of trying to figure wth happened until I finally got back on and unlocked Samurai. Then ran over to Jueno myself and instructed Lof and Evey what was going to happen.
The plan was this:They would check on spawn locations for the incense while I checked on a different set of spawns.

Operations begin!
After a period of Lof running down holes killing what ever he saw and I Sneaking and invisible-ing Lof found the damn trigger. I instructed him to basically kill anything that spawned around the candle thing while I ran to his position. Lof enjoyed this plan far more than he possibly should of. It was not long before victory was ours.

On another note, I need to get one of those NPC things.
Any way, I went back to good old Sandy to get my Teleport-Mea while Lof and Evey enjoyed each other's company. I notified Lof that I needed Tele-Dem and He said something like: "lol@< teleport-dem >"
That was dealt with without problems or notable happenings.
Teleport -Yhoat was COMPLETELY different. To get the spell one must obtain a piece of Elshimo Marble, which is Rare/Ex, and trade it to the missionary in Kazahm. This reeks of Sand' O rian imperialism but feh...I need teleports. The plan at first was to wander through the surrounding jungle killing White lizards and Marble lizards accordingly. No one liked this plan but it was the only thing I thought up around 11 P.M. and I think 1 AM for Lof and Evey. After about...30 minutes of that we found a spot where the damn lizards regularly spawn. I pitched a tent, Evey started a fire, and Lof sang some songs and we went to work on the lizards. Well the lizards have a laggy spawn time so we killed Coeurls and gobs to pass the time.
Two hours later we each have about half a stack of coeurl meat and a random assortment of lizard parts but no marble. Lof was still soldiering on with Evey in pursuit, like they were competing for damage dealing, while I operated as a mass puller. I would sleep/bind/Dia II lizards to get them to come to Lof. He would weapon skill one shot one of them and then chip away at the second while Evey got the third. I was a whm, I couldn't hurt a fly so I hasted Lof and Evey and cured them. Pretty nice set up all things considered.
Then a freaking piece marble drops. Evey, being the funny gal she is lots on it. I freak out, Lof laughs his ass off, and Evey then passes on it. I lot and Banishaga II everything to celebrate. We run over to Kazahm and I get told that I need to go to Sandy to get it carved into a statue of THE goddess. That is all done hte next day. But right as that moment I Tele-Dem Lof and Evey to the Highlands. Lof wanted to camp Stray Marry again for the Horn of Mary. Evey, the kind girl, was willing to help. I logged off for the morning. Basically I got Teleport-Yhoat.

Thanks Lof, thank you Evey. (I casted Invisable on Lof XD)
I'll get to my leveling spree(s) later.

Ties that Bind and Chains that Kill.

No this isn't some weird Emo post. Come on people! It's a joke on the Bind spell and Skill chains. Because Bind generates hate so it kinda ties the mob to you. And skill chains are skill chains. :P *old draft got deleted*
Speaking of Bind and chains I did my first Promy (Mea)!!! And liked it! I could try and give a guide to this whole event but I am clearly not qualified to do so. I got most of my info from Jowah's, Souleater.org, blog which you can dig around for. My Main man Frohike's, ffxiwarrior.blogspot.com, blog which covered it from a WAR/NIN point of view. And an episode from Limitbreakradio.com, things are just much easier when all you have to do is listen :P Seeing as how I went as lolBLM to the Promys I was going on my own guide. But it was fairly simple; The empties give their element away my the color of their um...centers? And so I would just Nuke it accordingly. In case of links I would aga everything with every aga at my disposal. But I preferred to use Firaga on the tall Spider like Empty and the Memory receptacles. I am called Tognesss the burninator after all...
I was fortunate enough to be in a Promy run sponsored by some LS mates; Eodwen & Zarmina. Who had prior experience with the event. So they could fill in any gaps in my knowledge and fix my strategy. Orders were simple: follow Eo or Zarmina. This proved difficult as I ran into one of those 'You're screwed if..." situations. As seen in the picture below:

I am a lonely Mage currently surrounded by aggroing hate machines. Yes, I did die, but only once. Because I'm lucky.
Second order; when we are fighting anything big: burn it to hell. When we get to the Boss: Bind him and aga sparingly. Not to my knowledge this boss had a circle AoE tp move that resets hate and Bind causes a good size of hate... so at about 20% health it starts spamming Carnival and we lose a tank and I just casted Bind. It hates me now. So I run ot the other side of the room while tanks wait for provoke to count down. The Summoners just two hour'd. Things are looking up! Ooops...it Carnival'd killing both SMNs before they could pop anything off. I'm still running waiting for the tank to try and get on this and I'm running out of places to run. Oh no...Eo is down. He didn't get to cast shadows so he went on the Carnival too. It's me and the WHM now(Zarmina). And you know what? I'm in the red and trying to Bind this ugly thing that is not supposed to exist and Zarmina two hours. To her credit the tanks and SMN kinda got one shotted. For a moment is seems we could bounce hate with me aga'ing and her curing. No go. She just got two shotted. I died shortly after trying to sleep it. I'm smart >.>;;
But here comes another fun part. The SMNs and I have reraise. Sure it's health restarts but mana burning it is tempting. :E I'll admit it thought it was fun for the first two nukes. Then we patted each other on the back and went our separate ways. I hope I can do another Promy run with them again ^_^
