Happy day to you all, fair bloodlust creatures of Vana’diel!

I’ve actually been sitting on this entry for a while (no, really… I’ve been sitting on it. It’s not as comfortable as I thought it would be). I took another break from adventuring and forgot to post it. Oops

I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to stimulate me and encourage me to stick with “The Grind”. And I think I’ve found just the thing:

Campaign!

A few weeks ago, I stared at the Bronze Ribbon of Service I received for signing up with the Windurst Cobra Unit, and thought it looked pretty. Then I remembered that I got that over a year ago and never thought to update the darn thing. At the time, I didn’t think I stood a chance to since I was so low in level. But now that I’m a bit stronger, I figured it would be worth a shot.

I’ve asked my faithful Mogle-Pogle to smuggle some goods to me while I took up residence in the Windurtian barracks. It’s a simple lil’ space, but the hammocks are quite cozy (food, on the other hand, needs some work… bleh).

After getting settled, I chose to warp to our fortification in West Sarutabaruta, since a battle was about to start.

Oh man… I had NO idea what I was doing! xD I got my Allied Tags, I waited, these Yagudo came with 10 billion HP, and then there were these Giant Birds that were summoned by some guy, and they were eating the Yags like “OM NOM NOM!”, and then these other people show up and started dancing and piroetting, and ninja came with their katana and went “SLASH! BOOM!”, and these White Mages were casting Holy, and it was like “KABOOM-BOOM!”, and there was running, and screaming, and dismemberment, and leap frogging, and pants wetting…

It was truly chaotic. And I loved it.

I love swinging my sword and whacking mobs blindly, even though I’m barely doing damage. I love nuking randomly. And healing randomly. Heck, I don’t mind dying so much, ’cause I gots the Reraise up.

I did campaign so much that I actually got a new medal: Brass Ribbon of Service.

That was a while ago, though… my medal expires in 11 days   I got back on that Campaigning trail so hopefully I’ll earn enough to get me to the next medal.

Make Love, Not WAR

I’ve been running around as Warrior as of late (shocking, I know >.>). It’s the last of the Beginning Jobs that I haven’t leveled considerably (it’s been at 8 for the LONGEST time). I figured I would make the effort to get it to at least 25, making it a suitable sub for my Ninja (leveling the sub for my sub for my main, if you will).  So far, it’s not so bad. Managed to get it all the way to 20. Huzzah! I’m actually liking this more than I thought I would. I guess I have to head for Qufim to level now…

…

( ; ; )

There’s more chaos to be had, so I shall end here and post more soon. Adios!
