Happy New Year, SGD! May the Crystal guide you through 2015 aswell :3

For the first time since 2.0's launch, I decided to enter the Heavensturn screenshot contest. I wonder how well this pic would do :D

Belated Happy New Year!! <3

Holy Carp Fish! I thought I was doing OK at 3,000. What achievements are on your to-do list?

She's working on it I believe.

At the time the achievement was for feeding 30 Chocobos of other people... but Rubi was too swift with his smartassery XD

Hmmph. Just waiting for a chance to club Sophia over the head cavewoman-style to drag him to the Sanctum of the Twelve.

And to answer Mishini, pretty much all of them. Not that fussed about the PVP achievements, and a lot of the ones left are ones that I class as "gradually" in that over the course of time doing normal activities, I should be able to obtain them without special effort. At the moment, I am working on GC leves, big fishing and fishing luminary as well as various coil ones with FC.

You can also use /beckon to make pets that do that sit on your shoulder at prompt. Though for some reason it doesn't work on the colibri... Does with succubus and opo and whatnot though

It depends on their personality. Neither Bluebird nor the Colibri will react to /beckon. (they do react to /pet, /handover and /slap, as most living minions do)

They are also very skittish and will leave your shoulder as soon as you pretty much take any action, as opposed to the Succubus, who will gladly stay hooked on your shoulders for over 3 hours if you let her.

The ffact that you are Legac i think makes this extra confusing. If I understand correctly, based on the achievements you did not get in 1.0, you can only get a total of 91% of the total achievement points accross 1.0 -> now. Out of those points, you have completed 88% of them, mirite?

Maximum Obtainable (Me) 898 987 89 91% 7,005 7,935 930 88%

Either way, Congrats!

Also, I noticed what some of those are. As close as you are it looks like some of those seem prett far off still. (Eg, Tank high Level Parties as WAR & PLD combine them for 21/400 full party high level instances. :S )

I finally reacquainted with someone i loved very dearly, but we got separated almost 2 years ago. Thanks to that, i've finally completed my White Mage Glamour! \(^_^ )/

Ah no. The first lot is the number of achievements. The second lot is the achievement points. Even though they are the same achievements, there are two different completion percentages because while I have completed 91% of all the achievements they are only worth 88% of all the points.

Re the Legacy, how it works is there are (currently) 773 available achievements worth 6,555 points. These are the Realm Reborn totals. For the Legacy Achievements, there were 1034 total worth 1,745 points. Of those I completed 898 worth 1,380 points. So my maximum total will always be 1,380 points more than non-legacy people.

And yeah, a lot of the ones remaining are long term goals like the HQ gathers and Fates. I have maybe 200 points that I could obtain in the next month or so. Finishing the GC leves will take 2 months. PVP alone is worth 315 points, but I have little interest in doing those right now, at least until I have completed the bulk of the other ones.

Congrats! WVR is my main so I remember that day well. I only recently got most of my artisan cross class gear, still saving for a good artisan wheel, but my other glasses are poorly geared even with the cross class stuff XD Waiting on next patch's gear to see if I should bother improving my tools and body pieces on other classes yet. Here's hoping it's easier amd cheaper >_<

This is a picture that I felt bad to put inside my hard drive only:
http://i.imgur.com/o0BeEbD.jpg

I was shooting for the contest. The topic is fly kites theme.
I tried so many locations and finally select this pitiful wonderful place... (there are lots other good kite theme everywhere...only here is low enough to fit in)
I tried with lots different emote to "hold" the line, and most of them end up not enough. finally, I found this /rally
However, this one has a huge problem that only 1/5 second or so is useful. So, I took another 100 photos to get the feeling and another 200 photos to get the best lightning. Then, this guy just decided to jump in... without the guy, this will be the perfect one such as the sheep is @ decent location, the head is separated from the back ground and ramen's hand is @ correct "holding" position.
but he is there... initially I was mad (if I go check my photo, within 2 seconds the sheep will just run away [to lock the sheep, you have to keep /cheer then immediately /rally for the photo]) so I took more photos. But, when I see actual picture...he's wearing sheep head, have that "flying" jump, nice outfit and shinny boots. It's a really really good shot. However, I really cant justify it with the topic, such as

• "fly kite with buddies"- if he jump in +45 degrees not -45 degrees will work.
• "fly kite is exciting"- he is excited, sheep is excited, me is excited - but only me is holding kite... sheep and that guy all facing different direction...

so I have to let it go...

He is just trying to catch your kite...

Yuhuuuu! finally the alexandrites farm is over and now I enter in the novus stage.

So I checked out the old lodestone website cause it is going down soon, and I checked out my character and its like

Man, I barely recognise my old self. I think Rogue is a lot prettier now.

I'm happy with my change, too. My old character Kyan (who evolved into Yhan) was based on my XI character - I am glad I am Miqo'te now, though. FFXIV is a very different game since 2.0!

Also: I got married!

My Crystal is exactly the same except for her haircut. She had the long straight haircut with a fringe, now she has the version with no fringe. The change is minimal but I like it :3

Rysta, one of my alts, on the other hand is finally who he was always meant to be. I created him in 1.xx with the vision of a boy cat but boy cats weren't available to make yet so he was a pretty boy hyur. When we got the option to remake our characters in 2.0 launch, I changed the original Rysta into someone completely different (a female Roe with a different name) to free up his name and then I created him from scratch on this account as the kitty I'd envisioned. Now he is what he was always supposed to be, he's younger (as he's supposed to be), and he's on my main account so he can hang out with his boyfriend alt Bysta on my alt account ^_^ (Hence why the original Rysta couldn't be used, he was on my alt account so they could never see each other because you can't have 2 chars from the same account on at the same time and I didn't think of that when I first made him >_<)

All my other characters are completely the same as their 1.xx counterparts.

I’ve only made a few “minor” changes, namely the color of her hair, the color of her eyes, added some eyeshadow as well as giving her a longer and fluffier tail. It did change her appearance quite a bit in the end.

I think C’rysta looks a lot prettier now as well. (^_^ )-b

From 1.0, when she was still called “Caitlyn Aldora”:

Dare I say "a lot" ? XD

Today was a grandiose day for the friends and family of the Beholders of Animus Company on Sargatanas. Today was the day that 2 good friends from 1.0 tied the virtual knot through the Eorzean Eternal Bond Ceremony.

I give you the Eternal Bond Ceremony of Tenrai “The Tail Puller” Nagi and C’rysta Zeith!

But! Before i do, i want to show my sincere gratitude and give my thanks to GM Llyllypy for attending the Ceremony in silence and witnessing this grandiose occasions! /grovel m-(_ _ )-m

For pictures of the entire ceremony, please take a look at the full album below:

Eternal Bond - Tenrai & C'rysta

Both Tenrai and i went full out on the Ceremony, complete with introductions and vows. Since writing the vows were half the fun, i’ll just leave them here. (^_~ )

Introduction

C’rysta clears her throat.
C’rysta Zeith >> Hello everyone, can i have your attention please?
/wave
C’rysta Zeith >> Thank you.
/bow

C’rysta Zeith >> Let me start off by saying welcome and thank you for being here on this important day.
/welcome
C’rysta Zeith >> We are gathered together to celebrate this very special occasion between Tenrai and myself, through the Eternal Bond Ceremony.
C’rysta Zeith >> Today’s promises will become hilarious and serve to bring our Animus family and friends even closer than before.
C’rysta Zeith >> For this to be successful, you will need strength, courage, patience and a really good sense of humor!
C’rysta Zeith >> Again, we welcome you and thank you for coming.
/bow

Tenrai Nagi >> C'rysta you're too formal :o
/huh
Tenrai Nagi >> There aren't any strangers here! They're all our frie-... Hmmm. maybe The Twelve are here…
/think
Tenrai Nagi >> Anyways! Time to intimately exchange our vows ♥
/blowkiss

C’rysta Zeith sees Tenrai Nagi and blushes with embarrassment.

Vows

Tenrai Nagi >> I, Tenrai Nagi, before these nutter's assembled; take this strumpet, to be my wife, my friend, my lover, my hot water bottle, my companion in life, my enabler in trouble...
Tenrai Nagi >> ... and my poster of bail.
Tenrai Nagi >> will care for and protect you, Stoneskin you, Esuna you, and Um...
Tenrai Nagi >> ... Raise you if needed.
Tenrai Nagi >> I'll nurture you and support you, and tell you when you are being a numpty and adore everything about you.
Tenrai Nagi >> In the presence of our these nutte... Um... our beloved family and friends,
Tenrai Nagi whispers "who i’ve managed to fool until today".
Tenrai Nagi >> I offer you my solemn vow to be your godlike partner and lover (master); in health and in health, since you can't be sick married to a white mage.
Tenrai Nagi >> I will care for you despite your tree hugging ways.
C’rysta is annoyed at Tenrai Nagi.
Tenrai Nagi whispers "Don't look at me that way!"
Tenrai Nagi >> In good times and in bad, in joy as well as in sorrow, I promise to lend your strength for all of my dreams, to banish all your fears with my Holy powers of seduction.
Tenrai Nagi >> To use my... "Resources" to always keep you happy and fulfilled in a way that even a Roegadyn or an Au’Ra cannot achieve.

C’rysta Zeith >> Ow, i see where this is going...

C’rysta Zeith >> I, C’rysta Zeith, take you babyfaced one to be my husband, my friend, my lover, my tormentor, my companion in life and my instigator in trouble.
C’rysta Zeith >> I will care for and protect you, support you in your goals, honor and respect you, without TOO much sass (except on fridays).
C’rysta Zeith >> In the presence of our family and friends, I hereby promise to resist the urge to beat your ass when you are difficult to get out of bed (unless you pull my tail... again).
C’rysta Zeith >> In good times and in bad, in joy as well as in sorrow, I promise to be your navigator, best friend and wife; to honor and cherish you through all of life's adventures.
C’rysta Zeith >> I vow to grow old with you and to keep the spoiled little kid in you alive.
C’rysta Zeith winks at Tenrai Nagi.
/chuckle

And then we exchanged rings. (^_~ )

No kiss on wing of light?

Initally, I thought deli didn't change much except the name, but now I see lots differences:

http://i.imgur.com/8RmHFD2.jpg
2.0 <--> 1.0

• hair color
• eyes color
• mustache
• skin condition @@: 2.0's this face have very crappy skin. full with holes... 1.0 has better smooth skin surface.

http://i.imgur.com/U9zVmkk.png

and I found:

I knew this drunker will be a trouble maker in the future. so I took my revenge first...

I wish you guys every happiness! It's so fun being wed! Also, you can set your ring to your hot bar (or use it if it isn't even equipped), and if your partner is offline, you use it over and over again for the love hearts!

I can't handle the feels! T_T
