Feast of Swords

New Event!

Peach has turned to be a SAMURAI in TRAINING! haha!

Peach has no time to complete the training yet, therefore no +1 Katana yet. boohoohoo!

But Vot shared his taru cakes with Peach, and here's Vot, Grey, Ces and Peach returning to childhood :



Have you notice that Grey was so plump in his childhood? Look at his tummy!! HAHA!

Peach drew out her wooden "bamboo" to kill this Armor in East Saru. It's really a funny sight to see a group of adventurers chasing after the Armor!

COP Mission Chap 5 (Part 2) - Ulmia Path

Yeah! A continuation from COP mission!

With 3 paths to chose from, Peach and team decided to follow through Ulmia's Path first. And the first BC we were faced with was : the 3 Tracker Mithras!



Somewhat the same with the previous BCNM, this BC requires Peach and members to defeat 3 monsters, which will aggro at the same time. And this 3 mithra have amazing TP which could do Darkness Skillchain.

Peach's party consist of BLM (Peach), WHM, RNG x 2,SMN & PLD. It was a 1st-try WIN, but Peach would say that it's a close win. See our HP/MP bars, you will know :



All of us KO and raised (on reraise scroll) to fight again (with the exception of Zaan). Mata sacrificed 2 times! (PLD's way of life ;p). Anyway, if Peach's magic did not one off kill the last mithra, Peach would had KO the 2nd time (22 hp!!!!)

Peach was so busy during the fight, that screenshots were forgotten!!!!! (arghhhh). But Peach had saved the screenshots of the battle log. Here it is (you can right-click to save target as):

Battle log

*****************************************************************

Next, we had to go to Bear Pinnacle to fight a Snoll Tzar Bomb within 45mins (or so).

We had to do as much damage as possible, before this ice bomb explode and kill all of us. It took Peach 3 tries (2 tries with 2 different teams). The first 2 tries we tried on Watersday, which was a terrible mistake! Most of the mages' Fire magic was resisted, doing as low as 20+ damage. Arghhh...

The 3rd try, we did on Ice day. None of the Fire spell was resisted, and Grey, who was the rdm, did very good damage with Chainspell. Hurray!

Battle entrance - A gush of wind!


The Snoll Tzar


However, Vot exited the battle with 20+ Hp left. We wanted to cure him once he stepped out the Cutscenes so that he will not KO. However, the moment he clicked, he fell flat in front of us {/cry}. The DOT done by the Snoll Tzar is said to be -32hp..

Snoll Battle log

Ulmia's path is COMPLETED!

ZM 6 - 12

Together with Luka, Ink, Ces, Vot and Grey, we stormed through ZM6-12 (in 2 sessions), with the goal of getting our SKY passes!

ZM 6 - Through the Quicksand Caves

We had to defeat 3 Anticans in the BC in Quicksand caves. This BC is pretty similar with ZM 4 Battle..except that most of us (except Luka) needs to equip ourselves with Echo Drops.
/Blush : Peach was "Day-dreaming" and casted Sleep2 instead of Sleepga2. Lucky there's good team members! If not Peach can dig a hole there and hide away [Peach slaps herself]. Due to the wrong move in the beginning, Peach didn't take any screenshot during battle. Busy redeeming by keeping the ants asleep! *sweat* After the fight, Peach was transported to here :



And here's the the ZM team :



ZM 8 - Return to Delkfutt's Tower

Alot of people warned us that this BC is the hardest of ZM Mission (before Sky pass). All of us went in the BC with 101% preparation. Equipped with Hi-potions (even the mages!), echo drops, Hi-ether, food and drinks, we climbed up to the highest floor of Delkfutt's Tower (using the elevator of cos!)

The fight was rather smooth sailing. Vot, our PLD kept his hate management VERY WELL! Even at times where the Hate Reset move went off, Vot managed to get back the hate rather fast! And of cos this PLD is always well-prepared with his medicine/food (and very generous in using or passing out to others!) Ces and Luka's attacks were super, Grey's dispel was very useful (sub rdm) and Inky's healing was so in time to bring Vot back to health (and with that panic action!). And thanks to Luka, Ces and Vot, they kept Peach updated about the colour shining on Kam'lanaut so that Peach will not cast some magic which add on to his health instead. Great job done, everyone!



ZM Evil Characters :



And the poor victim :



And a view of the new area!



ZM 12 - The Mithra and the Crystal

After ZM 8, we ran between Jeuno, Ro'Meave, Norg, Rabao to do some Cutscenes. Finally! The last battle before our sky pass! With just the 6 of us, we tracked down into the depths of Quicksand caves. We cleared the mobs around and sprawn the NM by clicking on the ??? spot.

This NM is not very hard, the only problem was the magic it used. We were not able to silence it, even with Elemental Seal. Peach would say Stun is quite important as it cast Ancient Magic and lots of -ga III magic.



Yeah! We finally can enter to SKY! ^^v

Note : We did ZM6-12 with just the 6 of us, as 2 battles are limited to 6 members. We were between Lvl 70-75 (only Luka is 75). If you are planning this and have 6 members to do the BCNM, you do not require help to "bring" you to the battle field. The areas were pretty straight forward (not like COP mission where True-sight mobs are around). Peach is shocked to see people asking for helpers to go along with them to the BC.

Continuation of Avatars Battles

Many of you who are faithful reader here would have remember about Peach's first 2 avatar fights.

This day, Peach has the chance to continue her quest for more avatars' fight!

TITAN

Together with Grey, Vot, Ces, Iio and Darkx, We went to Quicksands Caves to enter into the BC.



We woke Titan from his sleep... and forced him to submit to us :



The fight was an ease..partly because of our levels. Woot~



GARUDA

Next we went to Cape Terrigan, to battle Garuda.



Again, the fight was pretty easy and in no time, Garuda was defeated.



Hmm..but have anyone ever notice that Garuda's legs don't look in shape?



*gasp*

Yeah! 2 more whispers to collect (Ifrit & Leviathan) for Fenrir Quest!

Pea~

Pea is Peach's nickname..

Do you like Pea in this :



OR this :



Cannot say you don't like both, must chose 1 ok? ^^

Gambling Gobs

These Gobs are professional gamblers. Hmm..maybe the Intergrated Resorts can employ them? haha!

Peach was cheated gil! Blame it on the tough luck! Blame it on the stupid gob! Blame it on everything else! HMPH!

Windurst Mission 8-1 : VAIN

Wow, so many missions to complete...From COP, to ZM, to the very first set of own country missions.. How can Peach ignore Windurst Missions?

This Mission consist of 2 parts, where the first part can be solo. Equipped with silent oil, Peach went to Ro'maeve to examine Qu'Hau Spring. And some strange figure showed himself for a while :



After this 1st part, Peach had to wait a few weeks to do the 2nd part of mission as it requires the help of some adventurers in order to take down the NM. During this period, the doll that was following Peach got on Peach's nerves. The talkative doll paused Peach every each zone, screamed at Peach..it is absolutely IRRITATING!



Finally! It's time to get rid the doll, TOTALLY! Thanks to all who helped! Peach got the cursed wand, and passed it to the taru.

The NM :


The Taru :


And the People who are there :


Finally got some peace!

Romance in the depths of Gustav Tunnel

We discovered things at a time when it seems so inappropriate.....

We felt like light bulbs..that lit the already dark tunnels so brightly...

We felt like leaving..for we felt out of place...



In one of the session farming for Mata's DRK Testimony, we had a bad fight..which resulted all of us KO..and we discovered this :



Make out you own story from here...haha

Quests to complete for easy access to Mine Shaft #2716

Those who need this to gain easy access to Mine Shaft #2716, here it is :

1st Quest : Out of the Depths

Take note that You do not need to do the many runs between Bastok and Oldton as what was written, Peach thinks this has changed after a few updates. You can Trade the ash in the sequence 4, 3, 2, 1 (in separate trade window), and get all the 4 key items, before you make your trip back to bastok.

2nd Quest : A Question of Faith

Take note that you have to be ready to fight before you talk to the Rakorok.

3rd Quest : Return to the Depths

You only need to complete this quest up to before the BCNM. Tarnotik in Oldton Movalpolos will teleport you to Mine Shaft #2716 in exchange for Ahriman Tears.

*******************

If all the above seem a chore to you, you can farm for a snow lily from Uleguerand Tigers or Snoll in Uleguerand Range. But it seems that this item can be found in AH now (after a few updates).

But for those who spend their time to do the 3 quests, we shall try the BCNM after our COP mission, to get the Bowyer Ring (Ranged Accuracy: 3,Ranged Attack: 3 Level29 ) and 10k gil, ok? ^^v

COP Mission Chap 5 (Part 3) - Tenzen Path

Still at Chap 5...it's a long long mission...

Peach was sent to follow Tenzen.

We saw the Carbuncle who gave some directions on where to proceed...



We went to PsoXja, we had to pass through a lot of doors, and most of the time, it will sprawn a Gargolye :




^ Gathering at the entrance of PsoXja

We had our cutscenes at the Avatar Gate in PsoXja, followed by a few more cutscenes in Jeuno & Battalia. Next we went to Lower Delkuft to sprawn and kill an NM.



Afterwhich, we went back to PsoXja (different tower from the 1st one). There we were supposed to go to the bottom to get a cutscene. The door to click is in a room filled with sound-, magic- and sight-aggro mobs >< . Luck wasn't on Peach, as right after Peach finished her cutscene (will not get aggro during cutscenes mode), and Peach used her silent oil and prism powder, the gob "poped" at the corner of the Avatar door, on top of Peach. Of cos, Peach KO..and given that magic pots monsters were in the room, Peach homepoint as it's impossible to raise safely given that situation.

Misc Screenshots :


Tenzen's path is COMPLETED!

Peach would say that this path is the most boring ;p With so much text to read, it certainly did not bring much excitement to Peach *yawnz*

Farewell Wiz T-T

/cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry /cry

No amount of /cry will truely speak of Peach's feeling.

Wiz had made a decision to leave the game. For all those who had been with Peach's blog since the beginning, will know that wiz is my adventure buddy throughout Vanadiel...the one who are always keen to explore new areas immediately after updates.

Thank you Wiz! For asking Peach along to adventure Vanadiel together. ^^v Hope we will meet again in another new game! :)



It's sometimes so amazing that online relationship leaves a deep impression in Peach's heart. People behind moving charactors made up by 0 and 1, people who Peach never meet before but may had unknowingly pass by each other (Zaan? Chunz? since we all live quite close by..haha!).

Tell Peach what this is!

Is this a Frog? A Toad? Or a standing Worm?

Notorious Monsters!

Some Notorious Monsters Encounters :

ONZOZO

We went to Onzozo with the intention to camp Oze.

We ran past Peg Powler and decided to kill it (who will not kill an NM if they know they can kill it?). The Schwarz Axt dropped and Mata has a new Axe!



We waited for Ose to sprawn (and Peach fell alseep in between), AND when it finally sprawned and killed, Assault Jerkin dropped too! A good night of harvest!



Quicksand Caves

While farming for the spinel in quicksand caves for SOB quest, the NM Sabotender Bailarina popped. Look at it's height! It is so much taller than Peach!



We tried to fight this NM, but realised that it was not easy, We ran to zone, with our PLD Vot with less than 100 HP.



Bibiki Bay

Peach was fishing in Bibiki Bay and caught a Fish NM. Nothing special about this NM as it only drop a quest item. However, Peach likes it's colourful fins.. :)



Temple of Uggalepih

Finally able to do this quest where Peach had to hang a picture "Final Fantasy" on one of the walls in Temple of Uggalepih. Peach had missed out a cutscene before, and therefore failed to sprawn this NM a couple of times. This time is for real!



Beadeaux

Was running around Beadeaux to farm Warding Oil and saw this NM.



Sarutabaruta East

Was leveling lowbie job when Spiny Spipi sprawned.Was excited but being in a lvl 12 job, Peach did not dare to claim it. After much thoughts, Peach decided to run back to Windy and changed job, hoping that no one else discover it's presence.

Bingo! After a short chocobo ride, the Spiny Spipi was still swimming in the river, enjoying his peace. Peach managed to claim and kill it, but alas, no drop except a silk thread. T-T



Altep Dessert

Spotted by Grey!
