Weekend update
Submitted by mAdBoY on Mon, 05/02/2005 - 08:49.

Well, it was a somewhat productive weekend. We got somewhat of a late start on the garrison event in Windy while we searched for a WMG. The first round did not go well, as we formulated a strategy to take down the waves of Yagudos. Our original plan was to sleep one mob while we attacked the rest. This would allow us time to heal in between waves.....but we realized quickly that the NPCs have a mind of their own and kept attacking the last mob. This put us in a bind going into the last round, which was the cause of our losing. We attempted the Garrison event again with a new strategy: Having Maior kite one mob away from the rest of the battle. We cruised thru the first 3 rounds, but were unable to keep the last NPC alive against the final NM. BAH.

We then traveled to Jeuno to complete Mission 3.3 with Trix, Maior, Kyler, Aleesha, and myself. We easily worked our ways up Delkfutt's Tower and mowed down a few mobs on the way. As we approached the final level and prepared for the NM battle, I began DC'n! I logged back in to find everyone celebrating....they had already dispatched of the giant NM. I was able to get the key, but felt slighted since I didn't get to *SEE* the big guy. We waited around for it to respawn and watched as another group engaged the boss.

So I was able to obtain Rank 4 and Trix was able to get a pair of mannequin legs, after haggling with one of the pt members we recruited. Overall, a successful weekend.

We will begin looking at next weekend's schedule. I know with Mother's day, things may be tough to plan. I am attending a wedding Saturday evening, so I won't be available then. Please notify Trix or myself if you have anything you need assistance with this week/weekend.

What he said...

Yep, that's pretty much what happenned.

The part you left out was, after our second attempt we did get the mannequin legs... but due to a distribution snaffu, someone else got them.

Trix logged because he was pretty upset, and the rest of us farmed Giddeus for another Qupus. Thirsty is credited for getting (thanks Thirsty! You rule!) and by the time Trix logged back in we were ready to rumble.

The third time did not go as smoothly as #2. I couldn't kite the mobs without linking them and wound up dragging the candidates with me. At first we thought this was a good strategy, but the candidates wound up getting a lot more hate than I did and I couldn't really kite too well.

Our WHM got bound and died, and that left us without a healer. I 2 houred on one of the NMs and we did manage to get the drop again. I then died quickly thereafter. That left Thirsty and Aleeesha and they managed to take down at least one more enemy before biting it themselves.

Still, I wouldn't consider it a total loss. We managed to do quite well and got two mannequin drops.

Sunday evening, I had another encounter with a GM.... stay tuned for the full info :-)
