Disconnected

Thanks to my short time in Menace, I wanted to avoid endgame in general; however, after much boredom, I decided to try out a new Sky LS. It turns out that Disconnected is quite similar to Ischemia, but the former has relatively nice players when compared to the latter. Moreover, attendance in Disconnected is strictly voluntary.















Above, I discovered Shikigami Weapon was up on "Widescan" (thanks to breaking my Clear Chip the day before), so I decided to ask my new LS for help. A group of us managed to assemble, and we even beat several SMNs who were also trying to claim the NM.















To our surprise, the robe dropped, and since everyone contributed, we all agreed that the robe would go free lot.








By some bizarre luck, I managed to win the robe with a relatively low lot, and along with my Evoker's Ring, I will be well-prepared for my somewhat distant SMN career. Coincidentally, I also happened to be the highest-level SMN, at level 24, of our group, so I would like to thank my new LS for the booty!

My LS also managed to pop three different Sky gods on a late Sunday night (below), and as one can tell, Genbu loves to reward us with Wyrmal Abjuration: Feet. On the contrary, I was quite impressed with our luck on Byakko...














































... especially because no one else wanted the Neptunal Abjuration: Hands. Unfortunately, I do not have the 3M gil to purchase a pair of Cursed Gloves -1 just yet, but it is something that I can look forward to someday. Someday, when I have plenty of gil in my pocket again. That is all for now, folks!

GUPS 012















After leaving Diabolos for Asura in late July, I have been pushing myself on a great number of tasks. For one, I have finished my BLM's Ice and Thunder potency merits, and I have also regained my highest Campaign Medal. In addition, I have been trying my hand at more BCNM and KSNM runs; however, none of them provided anything spectacular. Finally, I have reached lvl 100 Alchemy on Alchemy mule after extensively camping the AH for high-level Alchemy materials.

AH Purchases
Aquilo's Staff
Jupiter's Staff
Igqira Tiara
Igqira Lappas
Jet Seraweels
Cobra Crackows
Forest Rope
Uggalepih Pendant
Skulker's Cape
Juggernaut
Chiffonier x5

These items will be used to improve my BLM and BST's endgame potential (more on this later).
