Hallo Ocarina! I hope everyone had a good weekend ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ At the moment, I am currently mass crafting while I'm blogging, trying to practice my multi-tasking skills here (even if I macro craft, I still need to push buttons). One of these days, I need to start going through my gaming back logs, it's getting rather long. Tonight is going to be another random FFXIV adventure blog post, so let's get into it!!

Last week or so, Butter and I were doing the Fashion Report for that sweet easy 60k MGP. However, the requirements were... well, very questionable. I was very unamused when we needed the sugarloaf hat, luckily, it doesn't show up on Vieras. I was dying a little when I saw Butter wearing it, it's so ugly LOL

Butter mentioned about a magic talking caterpillar... and so our chat went in this direction HAHAHAHAH I thought about Chesire first actually, then the talking caterpillar who is obviously high in Alice in Wonderland. 

I sometimes question my sanity because I'm leveling my crafters again on my alt. I have a strong habit of wanting to repair my gears, but my alt cannot. I also like the melding privileges, meld wherever I want and whenever I want. I hate running around Eorzea just to find the melding NPC AND IT'S EXPENSIVE, OKAY? 1.8K PER MELD!? That's almost two teleports....(；￣Д￣) !!!!!!

The Cucco Mist house really needs to be revamped. I do have a list of things that I want for the house, the real question is "when will this happen". I have planned out what I want to do with the basement and on the main floor (≧◡≦) As for upstairs, well, I can think about it later.

Same thing again, I am questioning my sanity. I decided to unlock the Nier towers on my alt because I want glam, but IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT? I was hoping the healer top from the first Nier tower to be one with the cape (for males), but that's apparently the fending top. Now I'm asking myself if I want to farm the fending top, I think I'm just being crazy.

Things I find in Party Finder, it's always amusing whenever I go through it... like this guy trying to find a girl to play with him. I even like how he had to specifically say he's a bunboi too.

I'm actually curious if anyone paid for this service because this is NOT cheap LOL and what is this "WHOLESOME" chat?? Is it really wholesome or it's something else....? Does anyone want to try and participate in this for science?

Alright, that's all for now! Hope Monday isn't going to be mean to you, and until next blog post,

Happy Friday, everyone! Tonight is just a random short blog post, nothing too fabulous. While I'm typing this blog post away, I am camping for S rank call outs so I can cap my weekly tomestones on my alt. Friendly reminder -- Don't forget to do the Halloween event, it's still happening!! 

I've been trying to find reasons to go back to Dravanian Forelands since I completed my beasties years ago, and I thought... "Well, why don't I just come here and craft things?" I used to craft at the FC house and mostly there because I can access the FC chest easily. This expansion, I decided to switch locations and change things up °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° Elpis is my other go to location for mass crafting since that map is really beautiful. 

Questions for other crafters - Do you like to craft in specific maps or you don't really have a preferable spot?

I took a sneaky snapshot of me, Rare, and Rix while we were doing EXDR. Butter was catching up to us, so I couldn't grab a full group shot here.

I started doing a bit of fate grinding because I want some of the minions that are locked behind these shared fates. I thought these blobs were just plain blobs, but little did I know, they had faces!

I still haven't finished all of ShB zones, I'm missing two more. I'll get there eventually... * starts procrastinating anyway *

The starting progress for EW zones... I got two years to complete this (and I told myself that for ShB zones ripperoni) ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

As for raid, some of my raid mates should be shamed ಠ_ಠ (especially when they do custom emotes like this)...

Here we are organizing ourselves for Phoinix, and by organizing ourselves, I mean continuously getting our ass kicked. On the bright side, we're making decent proggers!

Well, so far, the first half of the fight is pretty easy! The bennu ads is a little butt clutching because of the DPS checks. My bunboi literally captures the mood for this fight, especially for the later half. I just start sobbing while I'm healing both my tanks (ᗒᗣᗕ) Also, Phoinix is a Walmart version of Phoenix - a lot of the mechanics reminded me of OG Phoenix and this fight just doesn't shine bright to me.

As for Cucco raid, better luck next coming week!! Getting really close in P2S, we managed to see enrage multiple times, the closest we got was 2% (edited because Geir remembered the better run). Hopefully we'll do the last part of the fight more cleanly and then we'll have our clear (๑˘︶˘๑)

That's it for now!! I hope everyone has a good weekend and until next blog post,

Happy Patch 6.08 everyone, I hope your class got buffed up (ripperoni SMN though)! DNC got really nice buffs, but I was hoping to see some healer changes too. Ohs well!! Is it just me but getting out of bed is one of the hardest things to do? I'm feeling like I could hibernate all winter and just burrito in bed all day. 

These days, I haven't felt like leveling my other classes and I've been doing a lot of gathering instead. Gathering is zen and I'm also thinking of leveling them later on my alt, but we'll see! Asa recently made some gil, so he bought some mats and I helped him made the new crafted i580 gears ( ´ ▽ ` )b

Here's a closer up shot of female miqotes inside Level Checker. I just find it so amusing that the males are like "Halp, we're trapped!!" while female miqotes are just modeling or sitting very lady like, as if nothing is weird LOL

Public cities never seem to stop amusing me ... sigh, what is this thing....? (´。＿。｀)

Later on, a bunch of people in Sophist's Robes gathered around and decided to party in Old Sharly. It was kind of lit.

As I was gonna park my character in an inn (because I was going to pseudo-AFK and play with Beemo), I saw Chips chilling by the aetheryte. (っ≧ω≦)っ Isn't her miqote so cute?

Okay, so there is a short back story that explains Rare's terrible melds. Rare was trying to get his weekly Pandae loots and basically messed up his loots. He was trying to grab two head pieces, but realized one of the bosses doesn't drop a head token. I told him I could make him the headpiece and I'll even meld tenacity just for him.

He didn't believe me and thought I was just joking.

So, I committed to it. And now, he's raiding with it until he gets his BiS.

I do love my late night hunt trains since it caps my tomes rather quickly on both my main and alt. Instance swapping is still "terrific", even when you have 50-60 people doing the hunt train. It's interesting since Old Sharly has two instances and can hold more than 50+ people without telling you the instance is congested. 

I also like doing S ranks when I need to cap my tomes. They permanently replaced trial roulettes for me ᕕ( ᐕ )ᕗ My ultimate strat is to stay max casting range and pray. 

I also saw this popoto riding a dreadnaught and IT SCALES TO THEIR SIZES. Omg, this dreadnaught is really baby sized... compared to the normal thing, SO CUTE.

And I'll end the blog post with Aikia streaming his MH Rise on Discord. He was talking a lot of shit but he was getting his ass kicked (Neru was probably carrying him, who knows).

That's all for now! If Monday was crappy, then I'll send you good vibes on your way and hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Gonna be a quick raid blog post and I don't wanna postpone this too long since last week was a pretty good week!

I'm going to start off with my second group, Evening Gang, and we got P1S and P2S down within a week. RNG had blessed me too so I got a few BiS gears (yes, my alt is more geared than my main at this point)! WHM is really fun in raid, so it's really sad to see that they're not being loved this raid tier. 

We were getting exhausted at the end of P2S, but a CLEAR IS A CLEAR (*ﾉ・ω・)ﾉ♫♩We were so determined to stay over raid time and do our one last good pull -- isn't that the tradition these days? That you clear on your last pull on that raid day?

Here are some clips of Evening Gang:

As for Cucco, we got P1S down on Tuesday night and that was our first raid night together ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ !!! I realized I've been playing AST poorly and I'm making poor Rix do a lot of mitigating work (although, I don't think we've been having issues atm... or she's patiently dealing with my stupidity LOL). Some of the tooltips were not helpful at all and it required me to do some testing/bothering some of my healer friends sob sob, but now I know better!!

They also got to see the entire fight for P2S this week, so I have a good feeling we'll slap this Hippo down this coming week, ＼＼\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶//／／ I can't wait.

Here's some clips of Cucco Raid!

That's all for now! Hope your weekend went well and stay safe everyone,

Monday is here, so good luck everyone and hope it treats you kindly. I'm going to purposely plan my tutoring lessons to be very chill; though to be fair, majority of my students are exhausted on Monday evenings. I'm pretty sure I borked my sleeping schedule, once again. I got into a food coma after dinner, plus I didn't get that much sleep on Saturday morning because I was feeling a little anxious about logging in on-time for my second raid group. Turns out at 11:30-12PM, (  ´ ― `)ゞ the queue was really short.

Let's start off the blog post with some hunt trains! I have been doing them late at night to cap tomes on both my main and my alt because I just feel burnt out from EXDR. I'm not sure if I want to get the Starbird anymore, I might just wait for it to come out during Mogtome events. 

Armored Shaggles makes me laugh because he sneezes at people, stuns them, and then he punches the stunned people into the air LOL 99.9% of the time, people get one-shotted unless they got tank privileges.  

Look, it's Butter!! He had been leading several hunt trains now on Cactuar (≧∇≦)/ Late night trains are not bad, but the instances can be a mood killer because of congestion. So you do have to smash your button on the aetheryte until you teleport to the right instance. Really good hunt trains will link a "vibe" spot aka waiting spot first for every instances, but of course, this means hunting does take longer. 

Here's a lovely shot of the late night Cactuar hunters. Another reason to hunt later in the evening is because of Toast Dayo, I still can't believe he is continuing his early pulling ways from ARR...that is true dedication.

Random question -- I found this B rank while gathering. How do you say it's name!?

In one of my LLDRs, I got a sprout tank. I cannot tell if they're actually RPing because they would ask questions and then say "I'm sorry if I'm asking dumb questions or being a bad player" (°△°|||) I mean, they didn't know some mechanics but picked up pretty quickly!! I had to tell them to stop calling themselves dumb whenever they ask things or mess up a little, pft.

While doing my last Chi fate, I saw someone with the grape vine head piece! I thought this was cute but it's not something I would use for my glams. I don't know how you get this piece, so you may have to Google that yourself!

While getting ready for my second raid group, Neru, Ubi, and I chilled at the Mist house. I like my new flying chair because the bunboi got a nice sitting pose (・ε・`*) .......... Neru just had to keep calling me out UGUU. I do love these screenshots of us though!!!

Then Neruson and I sat on the Fat Moogle mount. Lame that I sit very normally, boo!!!!!

New expansion, new raids, new friends -- Let's go Evening Gang team ♪(･ω･)ﾉ ! 

By the way, I recently got some goodies from Luna's store and patreon. I got some washi tapes, stickers, and other goodies!! Look how pretty her goods are eeek.

I highly vouch for Luna's patreon, you're in for a treat. Click here if you are interested!! That's it for now and until next blog post,
