Bloody Rare!

As you may already know, I've got a mage now and I'm keeping it as a 'trophy' sort of character and staying at level 70. Managed to get quite a few achievements on it at the moment, but for the second time on another character of mine other than Zukiji, last night I managed to obtain the achievement 'Bloody Rare' after a few days on and off searching for the Vorakem Doomspeaker (Last one of the set). Below is the kill-shot and achievement shot ;)



Now, just a mere 50 minutes before this, yet another bloody rare occurrence happened. I was helping a friend (not saying his actual name to conceal his 'true identity') in Sunken Temple to do his level 50 hunter Quest. This was the second time we had been here, the first was when he was around level 48/49. I knew before hand of a specific rare drop that drops off the last boss in here, a sword which when equipped and procced, summons a little Emerald Whelping to fight alongside you! Pretty sweet, but the chances of it dropping are damn slim, around 1/1000 if I'm not mistaken so we didn't count on it dropping. Well, apparently we were wrong...
What surprised me about this is that I had never seen it drop whilst levelling my paladin which thus far has been leveling solely through the means of the Dungeon Finder. I've seen a few epics drop, Deadman's Hand, a BoE Sword etc, but never this! All I can say is Gratz to him for winning the blade! Tis shinyyyy! :D

Still here!

That's right guys, I'm still here, just replaying the most recent events over in my head from both Final Fantasy XIII and the more exciting news for our Guild in WoW 'Back in Action'.

Progression started off pretty slow and ended in the guild managing to do a few bosses in the first Quarter of ICC. This doesn't sound like very appealing news as over half the servers now are probably pugging their way up to Putricide (Possibly x)) but as a guild, using everything we possibly could, we have managed to get a pretty solid team together and have surpassed Rotface and finally, the benevolent Festergut (We had more troubles on Festergut due to DPS reasons, but we managed to get him down eventually with many cheers from those who have spent a great deal of time and effort into this great progression so far). There are a few select guys who really stand out and I would like to do a personal shout to them for their hard work and ensuring that we will become a successful guild, and hopefully during Cataclysm, one that strives for victory! You guys undoubtedly know who you are. We have had a few problems whether it be in Guild, Raiding or in general, but we seem to overcome these and now the Roster for 'Back in Action' is looking pretty solid for 10 man Raids, which is a personal preference of mine! Our loot system makes sense and ensures those who intend to stay with us, will agree with the rules and work as hard as they can to ensure their position as a Raider.

Back when the guild was named 'Lost in Action', we had a nice group going for Ulduar 10 man Progression, and it's humble to say, that 'Back in Action' is heading back in that direction!

----------------------------------------------------

As for Final Fantasy XIII... Holy crap, that game is damn shiny to look at! x) The battle system is simple at first, but eventually you have to start to use your head a little instead of just bashing 'Auto-Attack' all the time. The main thing I'm worried about at the moment is the lack of major Side Missions/Quests as there was in previous Final Fantasies (Chocobo Treasure Hunt and Tetra Master in FFIX, Blitzball and Monster Catching for the Arena in FFX are a few examples) but at the moment, I'm seeing it as a roller-coaster ride, one way to go, and multiple levels of difficulty but at the same time, a pretty epic experience!


Little odd me talking about something other than WoW, but hey, it's a damn good game and has kept me off my computer for the first time in a while! Next thing you'll probably hear me talk about is Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver! x) (Damn I want them so bad right now... fucking pokémon obsession...) Ah wells, until next time guys!

Salty Zukiji

It's about bloody time that I took a good few moments in a decent attempt at 'Master Angler of Azeroth' achievement and on my first attempt, I managed to acquire it, being my final achievement required in the Professions > Fishing tab!
Finally, I've got the Salty Title! :D

The main reason I picked the boots over the heirloom ring came down to the amount of 'fun shit' I have in my invent, items which port me from place to place and the extra fishing skill on the boots will help for further fishing progression in Cataclysm!

Really looking forward to 3.3.3, many new pets and mounts to look forward to!
