Fomor's
Oh how I hate thee which has fallen in battle and come back to cause me eternal grief. From a previous post I had spoken about doing a Fomor Codex run. Well the time has come again to hunt down another codex. The same friends and I that got our codex's the last time decided to pop them on Friday night. 0/3 is about all I have to say about that. I don't think we killed enough to get my TH2 warmed up. Anyway, thanks to all that helped and here's a pic to show our group.
Gigas
These guys are the big dumb lugs you almost have to love around Vana'diel. This next one is on the lower end of that list just for the sheer aggravation he caused me when trying to cast a spell on him. His name is Gration and he can intimidate even the best. After our attempted Swift Belt run one of our helpers asked if we could help him kill this thing. Well of course we said "you bet your sweet ass petunia" we'll help you. This guy even helped us farm our codex's so it's only right we help as much as possible. So anyway, back to the fight. It was a long, LONG, fight. Dot's at 4/tick is a slow death. The Ninja, Paladin, and Monk were tp'ing on the critters around the area and then weapon skilling on Gration. He didn't go down easy, but we got him after about 1-1.5 hours of kiting, DoTing, and a few choice nukes by yours truly. I wish I would have been on my PC for it because I even got the kill shot. Either way our helper got the help he needed and recieved his Tatami Shield. Grats Skaw on your new shield.
Merits
We all love these things, they are just such a pain in the ass to get sometimes.
Well I busted out a couple more on Saturday morning to get to a total of 5 and then I got this:
My next planned set of upgrades will be my Ice Magic Potency. Only on stage 2 so it will be a while before completion.
Tuesday I farmed for a while and then went hunting. Hunting a smelly, slimy, ugly thing known as Sewer Syrup. My Paladin is 63 and can wear the nice ring it drops. My friend Passions came down to help me camp.(read: kept me company for the agonizing repop timer on slimes) Well after a couple hours Pass had to log and I stayed for a couple more pops, but no dice.
Wednesday was a whole new story. I went down there, killed a few slimes and then there it was, less than 45 minutes since my arrival. I was still resting from my last Mousse kill but was getting antsy to kill. Now I had read about how much hp this thing had so I was ready to Manafont at the drop of a hat. I got up, buffed, ate food, and rested 1 click. After that it was pretty much all over, but the crying from the Syrup. Grav, T4, B4, Stun, Bind, SS, F4, T4, Manafont, Burst II(2245 dmg^^), Stun, Bind, SS, Freeze II(2136), and done. Total dmg was 11093 in 6 spells, so an avg of about 1848 per spell. Needless to say I was very shocked at how weak this thing is to magic. A friend made the comment that it might have the same characteristics of the ring which make it so weak to magic. Either way I have a nice new shiny ring to play Pld with. Back to leveling =)
Well, it's been another longish update, so if you made it this far, thanks for reading and we'll see you next time!
Peace,
Shmed
