Just had to post these pics up... they were in-game pics of myself and a very good friend of mine who is also a fellow member of ChaosRhapsody (Amon Kojiro). We were killing antelopes for exp by using AOE spells... (I shall leave out the precise systematic strategy of the dynamics of our battle)...Heh!
However, what I found hilarious was how swiftly the antelopes (usually three to as many as five) would perish and stagger to the ground in a clustered heap.
That was sterling work Amon... thanks again for an entertaining evening lol. BTW, the Antelope Protection Agencies shall issue a statement within the next few weeks stating that we did them a favour. True story, bro.
Afterwards, Amon also helped me unlock my achievements categories (for Dungeons and Items) at Buscarrion's Fold and Hyrstmill (both camps are located in the Black Shroud area of Gridania environs)...

Then we went NM hunting and pawned a couple of them for the achievements... (I also got an oppurtunity to try out my Lancer's level 50 six-hit weaponskill)
Speaking of weaponskills and all that yada yada... the next day, I logged on and was invited by some Japanese friends to come try Ifrit. Giddy with excitement, I joined up, travelled out there and we got into the instanced battle...(there was another party out there as well)...
Then, feeling overly spiffy with myself, brimming with self assuredness and confidence; I unleashed the most effective weaponskill in my arsenal (my brand new six-hit decimation thingamagic)...
...And the good ol' Ifrit didn't even flinch. Then he proceeded to introduce himself and brimmed his flames right back... I must say I now stand corrected in my over-enthusiasm...
So urmmm... yeah... I kinda had to head to the bar afterwards to sooth my bruised (literally) ego... but I must confess that it was a fun and exciting battle nonetheless. BTW, I didn't know that the pirate ship Astalicia docked in Limsa had a nice little pub in the rear where the pirates basically trashed-talked each other all day long. Scandalous stuff lol.
Now sufficiently tanked up on liquor and grabbing a few extra shots for the road to fire us up, I went exploring (shamelessly using Company resources). Actually, I was about 400 seals short of the required 2,500 seals needed for my next promotion, so I thought I'd drag myself to do some Grand Company missions. Briefly stopped by Mistbeard Cove and was stunned by how much it reminded me of Sea Serpent Grotto (the route to Norg from FFXI)... dam, now I miss Gilgamesh lol...
Anyway, I got my seals, got paid by The Maelstrom... and got my promotion...
Yes indeed, that will now be "Sarge Atreides" to you wonderful good people. Long post and lots of images this evening but it felt great just tossing some of these photos up. Be well everyone!
