Over the weekend, I attained Rank 6 thanks to Joachim and Puipuipui for helping me defeat Shadow Lord. Joachim and I died the first round, second form. Puipuipui was able to drain and aspir and slowly kill Shadow Lord but alas, we ran out of time.
So Joa logged out to read up on Shadow Lord. Turns out that during the first form, when Shadow Lord uses an ability that makes him immune to physical attacks, he is actually weak to magic. Something we didn’t know. Equipped with this new knowledge, we went for a second round and defeated him with ease. No deaths too!
On Sunday, the Linkshell tried to form 2 parties for Promyvion-Dem. Congrats to PT#1 (Ladyrikku, Joachim, Triston, Puipuipui, Tatomi, Seraphx) on winning. My PT however, failed 3 attempts, largely because of me [:(]. I lost track of provoking the boss and caused the death of the other tank.
My reason at playing badly would be because it’s been a long time since I played a tank role. But giving excuses is not what a man should do. I accepted the blame quietly and apologised to the other members. I wouldn’t mind losing since I’ve completed Dem but since I’m the cause of our defeat, I feel terribly bad.
So for now I’ll be avoiding activities that involve other players except those from my Linkshell. Crafting Jack-o-Lanterns and farming for some gil now to complete the gobbiebag quests and increase my inventory space. I just soloed my Ranger job from level 1 to 7 last night just for the fun of it.
This morning, I brought my cooking skill from 47 to 48 from crafting Apple Pies. Attained Journeyman status and the option of purchasing a Chef’s Hat from the cooking guild is now open to me. I just need to rack up enough guild points for it. Currently 14K, target 70K.
