Under Moblin City

Have you ever gone to Oldton Movapolis and leaned over the edge to see how far down it goes? Have you ever preceded to trip and fall over that edge into the pit that lies below? I have. Here are my shots:

Guts & Glory

raprot — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 01:44:00 -0400

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up about a 5k walk I'll be doing in Tempe next weekend at Tempe Town Lake. It's a walk to help support and improve research and educational programs for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 3 years ago, though I've been living with the symptoms since I was 9. I believe a couple of people in our group may have or know someone that has either of these.

To help support the cause you can make donations (fully tax deductible) here:

It's that time again! One year later Mistress Meretrix has another folder full of photo goodies from around Vana'diel. Many shots were thrown out, many shots didn't make the cut, and even more shots were told they weren't allowed to be posted (something about making an NC17-rating look like Strawberry Shortcake). Heh, but what I do in my mog is my own damn business.

Truth is, it looks like I've hit my gallery limit. 1M KB is all you get these days and frankly I'm not sure how in the world I've hit it. Sam and I will work out the logistics of that later so I can finish my uploading.

Teleport Scroll Walkthrough FinalÃ©

raprot — Sun, 14 Aug 2005 05:24:00 -0500

I have finally taken the time and finished the Teleport Scroll walkthroughs. Head over to R&Rs Strategy Guide to Questing for the final product. Holla, Mea, Yhoat and Vhazl have all been added.

At this point in time I should probably move onto fishing. I'll post it under Around Vana'Diel In 80 Days once I've started. I will spend no time talking about tricks or hints to fishing with the new system, knowing how much I despise it. It will purely deal with skilling from a trade point of view.

Teleport Scroll Walkthroughs

Just a note to everyone to keep an eye on R&Rs Strategy Guide to Questing. I've been working on walkthroughs for all of the WHM Teleport Scrolls. Currently posted are Altepa and Dem. In the near future I will add Holla and Mea. Last to arrive will be Yhoat and Vhazl.

ShurGard Armor Storage

raprot — Tue, 03 May 2005 05:05:00 -0500

Having trouble storing all of your armor? Do you really want to keep a set of armor to use for every level cap BCNM, but just don't have enough room? Fret no longer, Squeenix has come up with a solution!

Located in every realm around Vana'Diel, you can find Storage NPCs! They'll hold onto 'full' sets of armor for you until you feel like pulling them out of the safe again.

You do not have the ability to mix and match, unfortunately. This puts a damper on certain jobs like THF that don't have sets of armor for each 10 levels like WAR does. All in all this is a tidy solution to level cap armor problems.

Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...

Though I feel that some of these points are completely biased, I have to laugh at the fact that they're closer to the truth than I like. :P Anyway, enjoy.

In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.

Tired - SATA Editorial

raprot — Sat, 16 Apr 2005 06:39:00 -0500

I set myself out in Jeuno again this evening (as I do every night). Last night I had a wonderful party in W. Altepa and we chained beetles through 2 levels for everyone. I was hoping to get the same, but tonight I received yet another invite for Crawler's Nest. Everyone seems to love going to the Secret Aparatus room. I gave in because I had partied with this PT's leader previously.

After I arrived I settled into the PT and was allotted first SATA. I'm proud of my armor, abilities, and how much I hit for. I've seen THF/NINs attack for a little more than me, but when you monitor our hits consistently, I hit for more more often. You question this because they have two weapons, but every THF/NIN I have seen wears gear 10 levels below them and have little ACC. So they miss every other hit, nulling out a second weapon.

Plant 'em if you got 'em!
