Happy 2007

I hope everyone is doing well, had a Merry Christmahanukakwanzaka and a Happy New Year. Not much has been happening in game, just been meriting on the good 'ole WHM, un-retired my PLD (which is now 53) and doing all kinds of uber map quests. My in-game goal is to get every map available. I know it'll take me a long time, but it's just something I really want to do.

Anyway, I'll make a short story long.... /giggle


So yesterday I was just hanging out in game all day (no work ftw!) when I was just talking to one of my friends. I had told him I got Hexa Strike last week and he said the usual {Congratulations!}, then went on about how uber I would be with certain gear (Reverend mail, seawolf cudgel, robber cudgel, etc) to sub nin and then I might be able to solo something. (My nin is lvl 1... Lmao) Well, I told him, "I thought I told you I had my Reverend mail" He replies, "{Holy} {Calamity} you do???! Helllll yeaaah! All you need is Seawolf cudgel and you're set!" So I reply, "Hmmmmmmm seawolf cudgel huh? Who drops that?" He says, "NM on the ship to Mhaura" I say, "Coooool"


I hop on alla and look up info on the cudgel. Pretty nice item,if you ask me!






Hmmm Silverhook huh? Level 0? O_o /panic Meh, I can try. So I head to Selbina.....and get on the ship. No pirates. Ok, so I tele-holla and go back to Selbina. Again no pirates. Finally, I get like the 5th ship, and FINALLY pirates spawn (I learned about the chatlog trick with how the zone loads) but unfortunately, the middle pirate is not wearing a vermy cloak, soooo no Silverhook. /cry


Eventually, friends join me, so at this point, I have 4 friends trying to help me with the quest (aka help me keep my sanity from taking the ship so many darned times)
On like, the 12th ship, pirates spawn, the middle guy is wearing a vermy, AND SILVERHOOK SPAWNS! We pwn him... and THE CUDGEL DROPS! I was literally jumping out of my chair. My friends (Bless them) all passed on the cudgel and let me have it!!!!! I was so so happy.
We stayed on the ship for about 7 more rides, trying to get my other whm friend the cudgel. Unfortunately, the pirates only spawned one more time, and the middle guy wasn�t wearing a vermy, so... /sigh no Silverhook. And everyone was going insane on the ship, so we called it quits for the day.

Here's a long story short:
Camped Ship to Mhaura all day.
Silverhook spawned, got claim, got drop.
Seawolf Cudgel {mine}!

Congrats. Awesome looking stuff for the WHM, I admire that for one who can just stick to that one job and dominate it :) I have wandering tendecies to do everything (Blame being an RL Red Mage too!) and thus work on all my jobs (except PUP because it annoys me). Soon as I get where I wanted in a particular one, I'm done and on to the next one. Just dropping my Convert recast timer recently with merits has been great fun :)
