My Little Indrik
IntPiPoMo Update IntPiPoMo is almost at an end, but I wanted to give a quick shout out to those that signed up to participate this year. I’ve been lurking on posts, and it’s been fun to see how everyone interprets their participation in IntPiPoMo. It’s been a light in a pretty dark month to read everyone’s posts.

Pretty Birbs
Posting this a week after the fact, but… Image from Ru IRON CIRCLE DEFEATED HEROIC ARGUS! Congrats to all that were there on the first kill (March 29, 2018)! I’m hoping we can get the mount for some more guildies. A few folks have poked officers about it, and I think they’re concocting something along the same lines as the Moose? I hope so, anyway. We’ve only downed him once, so far. But I’m sure we’ll get him on farm soon, so long as we can skip Coven. We’ve also only downed them once, and they are murder for us, apparently. I think I might be the only one in…

Mounts Galore
It somehow became one of those weeks where I ended up with some luck and dedication and wound up with three mounts yesterday. That Pretty Pink Bird I’ve been trying to grind out Achievements and cosmetics on my new main (Chestnaught—Chestnut probably won’t get played again for a long, long time) in Warcraft for the Love is in the Air event. (A side note: some of these achievements are a pain in the butt to get since most people already have them.) Yes, I know I technically don’t need to grind them out because they are account-wide, however, the UI does not technically treat them as such, and if it’s…

The Weekend Report
I seem to post less on the weekends. I’d love to try to post more on the weekends. In fact, I’d love to try to start posting daily. See if I can get to it before Blaugust hits! Boss Train, Woop Woop! Saturday I hopped into WildStar for an officer meeting, and then a scheduled Rose Bowl event! Not only did we do Rose Bowl, however, we started a World Boss Train. It was a lot of fun! I even got to do R12 for the first time! I’d love to do both again! We actually downed King Honeygrave!! He’s an extremely buggy boss (no pun intended) and can reset…

Haukke Manor
Opportunity I haven’t been online/gaming much the past week and half, really. I had an opportunity for a new position with the company I interned with fall into my lap, and had to complete a project as a part of the interview process. I’m excited to see if I progress to the next step. I know I have cheerleaders in my corner there, so I’m leaning towards the positive. Cake or Death Last night was my first night back in-game since, well, Memorial Day, really. So almost two weeks. Good grief. Anyways. The last time Chaide and I played FFXIV, we had gotten the quest to unlock Haukke Manor, but…

Chocobo Racing
This weekend, Chaide and I played a bit in the Manderville Saucer. I loved the mini-games, but didn’t bother with the Triple Triad table. Maybe I will try a game sometime this week and see if I like it or not. I’m not the best at card games, so I’m kind of hesitant. Off to the Races The one thing I was looking forward to the most at the saucer was the Chocobo Racing. And I found out I kind of suck at it. Most of the time I ended up in eighth place. I did win once, but I call it luck based on how terrible I was doing…

Chocobos and Saucers
Last night, Chaide and I worked hard at grinding out company seals so we could try to get our Chocobos. It took a few hours, and some running around, but we finally got them!! We did it through FATEs and trying to kill a few things in our Hunting Log. Probably not the most optimal (nor fastest) solution, but with different Free Companies, we kind of wanted to do it together. Meet Topaz So named because eventually I will be feeding him (eventually) so he turns blue. He might not be the exact color of Topaz, possibly lighter, but I thought it was a fitting name for a blue Chocobo.…

War Woolie, Nekkid Stormtalon, and His Head
This past weekend and Tuesday night were hopping good times in WildStar. Veteran Shiphands Sunday afternoon, we ran a few shiphands to get Golds so folks could unlock the AMP point (or is it the LAS? I can’t remember…). It was a blast, and I finally got in a Rage Logic. All of the shiphands are major fun, but I get more of a kick out of them as a guild group than anything. I discovered, for the first time ever, that there is a secret hidden up top in one of the shiphands–Outpost M-13. This little guy gets you an achievement when you click on him, and then follows…

Update II: Pre-Cata Plans
Or, “What we got done before The Shattering changed Achievements” Just a quick little check off list to the Elephant’s and my original list, and first update on the list. What We Checked Off: Both weapon achievements: Knuckle Sandwhich and Four Types. They’re now feats of strength. All of the critter achievements. There’s now a new one… which I am diligently making a list for. Maybe I’ll even post the list when I’m done with it. The book achievement. Though, with the little exploration we’ve done, it looks like most books are generally in the same vicinity as they were before the Shattering. Loremaster of both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.…

Update: Pre-Cata Plans
Last time I went on and on (almost ad-nauseam) about what the Elephant and I wanted to complete before Cataclysm rolls around. As it draws closer, we’ve been able to check off some of the items on our list so far. Glory of the HeroWe wanted to grab our Red Proto-Drakes before Blizzard (possibly) took away the drake from the achievements. They’ve taken away some of the raiding drakes, so we got worried–especially with no word on whether the drake is going away or not. So we wanted to be safe rather than sorry. And, I am proud to say, we earned that sucker! The last one we needed was…
