[center]June has had the biggest update in years with the level cap going up to level 80. There's oodles of new gear, new zones, new events. There's been lots of new and exciting stuff for us to do - along with the old. We've been spending a good amount of time in Abyssea and Walk of Echos.[/center]

[center] We've also killed Pandemonium Warden 2 more times, visited Kirin and his pals in sky, VNM, King Behemoth, Dynamis, and Einherjar. There's been a lot to do - along with a lot of leveling jobs to 80![/center]

[center][/center]

[center] I'll start with Vodou who finished his 6th relic - Bravura!(It's a bit hard to see on a taru.) Big Congrats!![/center]

[center]Next we have a few of the NM's we've encountered in Abyssea-Konschtat so far. Events that give you good amounts of xp are always welcomed! So far we've gotten some nice drops.[/center]

[center]Walk of Echos is interesting - we've had wins for the first 3 chambers several times now and gotten quite a bit of materials for the new +6 stat rings along with spells and other equipment.[/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]



[center]We Made 2 more trips down to Pandemonium Warden with our friends in AD; both kills went smooth![/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]

[center]Over to Balga's Dias to kill many Wyrms, unfortunately there were no speed belts.[/center]


[center][/center]


[center]Camped some more King Behemoth.[/center]

[center][/center]

[center]We went back up to sky to pick up some W. legs and other wanted items. 3 minute repop on the ???'s makes things much faster.[/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]



[center]More Einherjar - More Odins.

[/center]

[center]We've been doing a lot of VNMs to pick up some more rings. We popped a few of these new tigers this week and got a ring first kill!

[/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]

[center][/center]

[center]Back to some CoP dynamis zones to pick up more AF-1, hydra gear, and accessories!


[/center]

[center][/center]


[center] Here's to hoping there's a lot more to come with both Abyssea and Walk of Echos. I'm sure we'll have a lot more done in both of these areas in July. It's hot outside - good time to stay inside and check this stuff out! [/center]Find this interesting? Tell us!

[center]Yes, it's been awhile since we've updated - we've been crazy busy as usual: We've been focusing a lot of time on the new VNM system, new shiny rings and other goodies: Many fomors have been slayed for their treasures, and we went back to sea to get some more torques and capes: Of course we've been busy in Dynamis working on more relics, Einherjar, Limbus, and ZNM to spend more time killing our friend Pandemonium Warden: I think the pictures can say it better than I do!


Here's Plexiglas and his Apocalypse - the first of the newly finished relics: He looks pretty scary and ready to tear through some mobs.


Next up is Maximuss and his Excalibur, an excellent addition to his paladin and looks very nice next to the Aegis!


Here's me with my Carnwenhan! Longer songs are always welcomed:

Congrats on the new relics (and mythic)! We have a couple more relics nearly completed, and should be done within the next month!



Killing Pandemonium Warden is a whole lot of fun: Drops have been great, and we've gotten a lot from the tier3's as well. The fights are so hectic that I don't have very good pictures this time.



Tinnin has also given us some nice loot pools recently: A couple more Tinnin fangs and Alkalurops!




VNMs are a very new system that we've been spending a good amount of time on with all the rings that are wanted: We tend to get the meteor casting, dark star spamming Yilbegans which makes it all that much more exciting!



Gigantic blob attack!



Antillions that can shoot lasers!



Pixie Killers!



Huge Crabs!



There needs to be more Vampyre type mobs, they look so badass:[/center]

[center]


These Fomor NMs were added a few months back, we visit these guys from time to time to pick up some goodies: There's one for each race:

Beating down the Mithra!



The hume meeting many of our Samurais.



Ah Dynamis, you're never very far away. We've had some awesome luck with currency in San d'Oria, and -1 gear in Tavnazia and Buburimu. We spent a lot of time in Beaucedine getting tests for our up and coming relics as well.[/center]

[center]





After obtaining a few cloud evokers we traveled over to Riverne Site A to visit Ouryu.[/center]
[center]

Which lead to a visit to Bahamut.


Last but not least, Odin and Einherjar.[/center]
[center]

So it's been a busy past couple of months, and I'm sure with all the level cap increases and new stuff to come this summer we'll have an even busier next few months.[/center]Find this interesting? Tell us!

To my humble, but surprisingly good looking, audience: I apologize that so much time has passed since our last update! I assure you that the Taru responsible for the updates has been sacked. Properly buttered up? Okay then, we didn’t fire Memo. But I promise you we kept saying stuff like: “Hey Memo, where’s the update!?” and “Memo, do the fucking update, man.”

It was then, in our darkest hour, that the golden Galka came to the rescue. And here I am. Tada~

Lunarians has had an amazing couple of months. Some of the stuff you’ve probably seen around the interweb, some of the stuff has been secret. We’ve had a lot of our usual events: Sea, Limbus, Einherjarjarbinks, SCNM, ZNM, Salvage, and so on. But today’s update is so special- so RARE- that your average relic holder wouldn’t even be allowed to be pictured in it (sorry guys).

See, we have three levels of relic holder in Lunarians, broken down by snazzy metal codes (much like your, how do you say, ‘Gold Canadian Express Moose Club’ card).

Silver relic holders are members with a single relic- I mean, anyone can get ONE, right?!*

Gold relic holders are members with two relics- wowza! Now we’re talking.

And then there’s Platinum Vodou status. You cannot be admitted to this ELITE club without FIVE relics. Damn you Vodou, gil’s supposed to trickle down, buy some poison pots or silent oils or something! Alchemists need love too!

It’s with great pleasure that I welcome two members to the Gold club and one to the Platinum Vodou club!



Foresta finished a Mandau, proudly worn by her amazing bard and equally amazing thief! This is her second relic, pairing with her Gjallarhorn to make her an unstoppable battle bard! Honestly, her thief puts most DD's to shame, and I'd be willing bet now her bard does, too.



Zerocool has finished his Apocalypse, and he's ready to unleash Elvaan hell! His Apocalypse is the perfect compliment to his Aegis- his Dark Knight hits as hard as his Paladin blocks!



Okay, I know what you're thinking- I can't even see that relic Gun! Well, that's why I helped you. Leading scientists cannot agree- can the relic not be seen because Vodou is so small, or simply because it's hiding behind his other relics?! Honestly though, Vodou started this before his Ninja was even done and, as an old-school career Ninja, his Ninja puts mine to shame. Awesome job Vodou, your Ninja is a beast.



Kapow!


Did I mention all of these relics were done within 24 hours of each other? We all got lost looking for relic "???"s, but it was worth it!

Look at these guys- how awesome is this:



Congrats everyone, it's been a hell of a month!

Oh yeah, and an honorable mention. We have a member in Lunarians who is constantly accomplishing great things but refuses to be held accountable for said actions! He wouldn't even meet me to take this picture, so I had to use my ninja skills.


Technically Max didn't make Gold because this is a Mythic and not a Relic- sorry Max!


Congratulations again- all of these members worked incredibly hard to obtain these. Their work and dedication is evident not only by these relics, but by how they conduct themselves in-game, everyday.

Stay tuned for future updates (maybe even from Memo!), the adventures never stop over here!


*I don’t have a relic and it’s not easy so shove it >:(Find this interesting? Tell us!

Me: Guess what! I'm writing an update for the LS site.
Fucking everyone I talked to: About time...
Me: Sheeeesh. Well, at least I have a title.

The LS has been busy since I last wrote an update. So busy, in fact, that it's the reason why I haven't had time to write anything recently. Between my daily routine of making million dollar business deals (yes, in this economy), scoring hot Asian dime-pieces, working on a cure for cancer, and writing a tell-all autobiography of how I overcame adversity as a tarutaru melee - I have just enough time to make it to daily LS raids, leaving very little time for anything else. I finally got my priorities straight, however, and decided to put aside the whole "curing cancer" idea and instead work on something more important: putting together a news update for the LS. You're welcome, guys!

With so many things being jaded in this game, I looked through my history of screenshots since the last update, and decided to mainly highlight activities that were either still relatively new/fresh/hip and those that we don't do very often. Of coure, because I'm a sucker for aesthetics, I also included some pretty cool looking screenshots (at least in my opinion).

..:: Pandemonium Warden ::..

We've got old man PW down to a science. So many kills now that I've lost count, though I think it's somewhere around four kills. In a Voltron-esque fashion, we form with ArchDominus to create AntiZerg - an evil, yet powerful LS with the sole intention of quelling Pandemonium Warden. And quelled we have... or is it quellored? I don't take kindly to Q words.



My killshot = Ego Boost +1, Treasure Hunter -4


Slime duty for two hours; hope you have a bucket handy, Hydro!


A few ZNM screenshots, since it's our hardwork here that allows us to fight PW. *In foreign accent* "No zeni?! No PW for you!"


Even PUPs get to play!


..:: Odin ::..

Odin finally decided to be kind to us after realizing that we probably have the most Odin kills from most linkshells on all servers. Notice I said "probably"! We've done 39 total, and since we've done it with 99% regularity every 2 weeks, for the past 2 years, I'm fairly certain we rank pretty high in total kills.

Here's a list of some of the neat stuff we've gotten since August:

6 E. Bodies
3 A. Bodies
2 Valk Forks
2 N. Legs
2 Valhalla Helms

Max kneels to no man!


Oh…


Obviously an intentional sacrifice, cus bam…


And more goodies…


Six E bodies in three months without stepping foot in Dragon's Aery. Giggidy.


Here’s lolgren sporting his new hauberk and Rudo with his new helm.


..:: Attestation Runs ::..

The only runs worse than attestation runs are the ones you get after eating bad Taco Bell. We've all been there, am I right?! Anyway, it's not that these NMs are hard or anything, on the contrary, they're quite fun - especially when a pull is botched and there's chaos amidst. Normally they're pretty straight forward though. Thankfully our luck on test drops has been good. Here are some pics:

This guy has an awesome fashion sense.

"Yay! Grats on drop! Now to farm normal mobs for the remaining 6 hours left in here."

..:: Relics ::..

The end result is well worth it though. Every time Jayu kaitens a mob, a part of each of us, kaitens with him. I think I read somewhere that the actual modifiers for Kaiten are 30% Loyalty and 30% Unity.



In all seriousness (even though he finished it shortly after the last update), big congrats to Jayu on finishing his Amanomurakumo!

Here he is, killing mobs and... killing me on parser. :( (Check out the PW bodies too!)



..:: Salvage ::..

With 3 different groups, doing nightly runs, you'd think I'd have more screenshots. Nope!

"Ribbit?"

..:: Random Stuff/A Little Bit of Everything We Do ::..

This section is just a small sample of what our linkshell does on a daily basis. I did not include all the best drops or every little (or big, for that matter) accomplishment that we’ve had in the past few months. I’d need to put way more effort into these updates in order to pull that off. And well, that totally goes against my slacker nature. Hell, I’m contemplating a nap as I write this.

So here we go-

Trying for ugly RNG hats.


Plex’s TH... or is that Hogo's?


Reminds me of when I used to pull in Dyna.


Some Tav runs in hopes of stuff like this.


(Sorry about the blurry screenshot)


“Is that its vagina?!”


A demand for torques took us to sea a few days.


Intimidating, I know.


Looks like it’s blinded by the dust from its own 2hr.


Perhaps the only time an elvaan mage looks cool?



The best kind of Aspidochelone is a free Aspidochelone.


"I'm sure someone else will get the switch."


That's pretty much the gist of it. Now back to watching por... err I mean, curing cancer. Thanks for tuning in!

Fuck yes.



Screen shots aren't great, but hey, the fight is hectic!



Full drops! Thank Hogosha for the sucky/hard-to-read font!



Here's Max modeling some of the drops until we decide who gets them:
