Cherriepie and Ruck come back from a long extended break. Welcome home you nubs! Upon returning, Cherriepie has joined Dreams Dynamis. PrincessDiamand, one of our newer LoC Members also joins Dreams Dynamis. Welcome ladies, the water's warm . . . but probably because Dor peed in it.

Sky

Sky is sky. We did 1 Genbu and 1 Seiryu. Unfortunately our male photographer was away posing for pentmog magazine and we are screenshotless. Nonetheless, our drops are as follows:

Genbu:

Bolteux - M. hands

Chulhoon - Genbu's Kabuto

Seiryu:

Anapuna - D. head

Congratulations to the three of you!

Dynamis B. Glacier

Well, we started late, but not because we wanted to. Perseverance was finishing up their glass on our zone, so Caelan was getting anxious and gave their mule a swift kick in the . . . shin? Caelan you bad boy!

We did pretty well last night with 25 members and killed the fake dynamis boss stone. Kriist and monks (and later we found out thieves too) don't mix like 2 d*cks, but then again as a manthra. Kriist lives by the words "we don't take it, we give it!", but I saw him taking a lot to the tail and eating some dirt last night. Might wanna change your phrase, bud!

One AF2 dropped last night and it was our first. It should have went to me, but I thought Caelan could put more use into it right now.

Onto next week!

Sky & Limbus



Due to the Easter weekend holiday, many of our LS members were missing, so there were no notable accomplishments for this section of Dreams.


Dynamis - Xarcabard


Two words: Bad run. As a co-leader, I'm still "feeling the ropes" on this zone. Other zones are easier with 21-24 members because of SE's zone setup. Xarcabard is extremely difficult for a low-man setup because of the following factors:


1) There are stones AND eyes
2) Demons are harder to kill than orcs, yags, quadavs, and gobs
3) The NMs pop in 3s, and are hard to hold them.


Our first Xarcabard run in the prior week, Cherron sac pulled every stage which made things very easy for us. But this week he was missing and, well, I didn't pick up on it quite as fast. I tried to see if instead of sac-pulling, we could get our tanks to kite 2 NMs around while we finished off 1, but that proved quite ugly. I think I must have killed everyone more than 8 times this run, but it was quite a learning experience.


1 BST AF2 droped for Jefa. Congratulations!

"First of all i would like to say a BIG thank you to Dreams for all the sky gear I have gotten! It's very exciting seeing that NIN in an Osode and Byakko's haidate, now pretty much a dream come true. I also want to say I really enjoy running with you guys. The lack of drama and selfishness has been refreshing and makes every sky run an enjoyable time. Thank you all so much for the friendship you have shown me.

Next on the list I would like to add some more sky items to my wish list. Most of these items I know I will be way down the que for, but like i said when I first applied, I'm here for the long haul so w/e it takes I'm willing to put in the time."

Kindred Seal 99
The Early Bird Catches the Wyrm

Dreams' first attempt at this specific KS99. The first attempt was a wipe. We rushed in and didn't let the tanks get enough hate before the skillchains went off. The melees skillchained in the beginning (all of them /WAR), and the black mages bursted crazy - from 100-50% in 30 seconds. The dragon then flew in the air and began to kill everyone us with fire spells. Hate was not controlled and we had to accept the wipe. No reraise was possible due to it drawing in the members.

Our second attempt was all win. We decided to go slow and steady in the beginning, allowing the melees to bring our dragon somewhere around 65% HP before skillchaining. The skillchain sent the dragon to the air. Upon flight, Starfyre (RDM/DRK) activated chainspell and stunned it, while the our cute black mage team proceded to nuke heavy to bring the dragon back down the ground at 25%. The melees then proceeded to bring the dragon to its knees in defeat.

Drops were as follows:











Nice work team! Now, let's get some black belt items for our monks!

Dreams just popped 1 Water and fought 1 Genbu, which dropped 2 A.hands. Unbelieveable!

Congratulations to Wargod (armor whore) and Zaria.

Dynamis Xarcabard

Tonite marks Dreams' first attempt at Dynamis Xarcabard. We did pretty well with our 21 members and obtained some really nice drops!

1 One Hundred Byne Bill

1 L. Jade Shell

63 Single coins of various currencies

Congrats to Kimaara for obtaining her long sought PLD AF2 Valor Body! Woot!

Congratulations to Dor for obtaining his WHM AF2 Cleric's Mitts . . . after 5 long years of Dynamis experience, he's missing 2 pieces of AF2 to be 5/5 on SMN or WHM. What a guy!

Poor Caelan lotted a 108 on Valor Surcoat, but he obtains a consolation prize of a Wyrm Armet. Congratulations Caelan!

Omega was good to us tonight. Drops were as follows:












Congratulations to Theneck and Venomice (again) for receiving their Homam Leg pieces.

General:
This weekend, Nugotugo pulls up to first place as the top armor whore of our LS.

New Recruits:
Please welcome our newest member(s):
Ean (Dynamis)

Sky:
Kirin was stingy again. Congrats to Topler for D. body. We also got a D. ingot.

Dynamis:
Jeuno was a bit of a crazy experience. We were low-man, but we were missing a couple of our key players from previous runs, though gained some new faces. Starfyre and Bolteux are original members of Dreams, but recently joined our Dynamis group. Ean was also recruited as a Dynamis only member. We still came out with a win, though the death toll was high. Still nothing to complain about when you're running zones like Dynamis with only 18 members.

Thanks guys!

Drops were as follows:
NIN (Nugotugo)
MNK (Nugotugo)
DRK (Yatsumoto)

Limbus
Proto Ultima was easy this weekend. Kill time in about 25 minutes. We got lucky and popped the item chest first. 3 deaths, but they don't count as it was before the last 20% of the fight. We zerged Ultima from 21% to 0% in 20-30 seconds, without it even being able to slam us with 1 citadel buster. You guys are too good.

Drops were as follows:
Nashira Hands: Rari
Nashira Hands: Chantal (Arctyreal)












Congratulations to the both of you!

Onto next week for more fun.

March 1-2

General:
It was a great weekend for drops, and though a number of members received really items, Venomice again pulls up to first place as the top armor whore of our LS.

New Recruits:
Please welcome our newest member(s):
Madddog (Dynamis)

Sky:
Kimaara walks away with MVP of the Kirin run. She kited Kirin without dying once the whole run, surviving even Astral Flow with no damage taken. What a girl!




Wargod finally obtains his long awaited Kirin's Osode. Venomice also finally achieved non-gimp status by obtaining D.body. Congrats to both of you.










Dynamis:
We finally beat the Glacier, and with 23-24 people in the LS at any time. Dor takes a self-proclaimed MVP title for Dynamis. Madddog takes title for the most deaths for the run.

Our drops were as follows:






Congratulations Theneck!






Congratulations Nugo!






Congratulations Venomice . . . again . . .





Meh, this drop really sucks Enrollox . . . I don't know why you lotted it.

On to next week!
