05-08-06 Last 2 Staging Points and NIN AF Boots

Considering that we are slow at doing anything in this game, Sean and I had a rather eventful evening! I think it was the pressure I put on myself to have something to put on today's journal entry :p

I decided that it was time to make the last 2 "Death Runs" for the Halvung/Mount Zhayolm staging area and the Dvucca Isle staging area... in that order. The Mount Zhayolm run was cake. Just zone in to Halvung and escape, short run in Mount Zhayolm and bingo!

The Dvucca Isle one was more of a pain in the tushy. I died once, but I at least had Reraise II on and the sense enough to run like hell and die in the spot that was clear of Imps. Nothing like turning a corner and running right into 3 of them.

Thank goodness for the Online maps that I printed out earlier... they were soooo helpful.

I can now say that I have all the staging areas under my belt {/flex} and that is worth the death in my opinion :)

Picture of me "becoming one" with the runic portal:

Meanwhile....
Sean spent some quality time in a party in Kuftal Tunnel. Good party and when people decided to leave they kept replacing. He went from level 53 to level 54 and strolled out of there with his spankin' new NIN AF Boots :) Of course he guilted me into coming out there to take a screenhot of his new sex-ay attire.

Speaking of his NIN AF Boots, as you may know that is a Treasure Coffer in Sea Serpent Grotto. We had farmed for his key weeks ago and even popped a chest just to get a map of this area to speed things up when he need to pop it.

Last night, we ran all the way to the section where the coffers are (behind the mythril door), find a Treasure Coffer, I slept all the mobs in range with Horde Lullaby so he can safely open it...

and he tells me that he left his Coffer Key in his Mog House.

O.o What?!?!

Anyway, thought you would find that amusing... but I honestly didn't at the time :p I told him that I will never let him forget this blunder. Every time I mention it he just flicks me off t(o.o)t

Finished the night off with some bee farming... damn NIN is eating threw our gil again. Looks like I will need to spend some quality time farming to make Silent Oils again... grr!
