Five years of Vanadiel


Five years, and this is what i have to show. With that been said, i'd like to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the people i have met in this life of virtual vanadiel, without you guys, this world would be lifeless (duh). i'll just end this post w/ some random pictures.

finally got steel cyclone after who knows how long


Cannau got aggroed after we finished our quest, lol.

SAM 67

i finally had some time to level my sam again, and got the most popular WS for the samurai.

these are the highest dmg i got from it so far


one of the pts where someone ran a parser (the setup was drk, sam, rng, nin, whm, brd, i think):

i got the result from him and the dmg output was sam > drk > nin > rng, i was surprised, nevertheless. according to the parser, i only held target (grabbed hate) about 15% of the times, which is pretty good considering the dmg output.
some more pix of the pretty WS


SAM is pretty fun, almost as fun as THF. maybe i'll go back to THF after samurai? but being a high-level thf sucks..... meaning no pt invites. oh well, will worry about that after sam turns 75.

salvage

I've been wanting to write about salvage for a long time now, with strategy, routes and the drops we were getting from mobs and NMs. But i realised that some other sites (wiki and air) are doing an amazing job of compiling all those stuff, and that i really don't have the time to organize all those stuff together. Therefore, i'll just post stuff and pix for some of the runs we did.

the 2 mnk for low number salvage getting ready to undress:

it's pretty obvious which zone we were in:

skill up!!

the drop rate on cells for our first run was terrible, no weapons, no JA and only 1 head cell.

needless to say, this was the only result we have to show for:

so we prepared for our second run, w/ a lot more medicine, and a little change in pt setup, i like what Koen said about salvage.

so our second run began, and the drop rate on cells was better.

after we got our first weapon cell and JA cell, those mobs became a joke. wahaha...

we chased after the treasure hunter,

w/ it dropping bombs here and there

the mobs were easy to tank once i got my /nin and magic

but the running away of the rats were getting annoying

lolbombs

i also got my blackbelt when i tank this, it was a joke (if you got /nin and magic)



we were killing mobs a lot faster once we got our weapons/JA

this is what the rat astrologer dropped: -_-

oils and powders are a must for this zone



and toward the end of the run (was running of time), stuff were dropping left and right:









we have been doing salvage ever since it came out, this is the only completed piece we have to show for so far.


we'll be doing the same zone again this coming weekend, hopefully we'll get lucky on the cell drop rate. -_- really hate this zone since even if you bring a thf, the drop rate is horrible, horrible, i tell you. anyway, more update coming up.
