I was flipping through my XIV picture album today, thinking about what to post. I considered the first screenshot I ever took, one of the last pictures we took as a LS, and various events in between, but even though I have several pictures more eye-catching, more colorful, or more exciting, in the end I'm going to have to go with one that really captures my best experience in Final Fantasy XIV 1.0.

Clearing The Raven, Nevermore with four days to spare was definitely my fondest memory from this game (to save space in this thread, full story for this picture is over here). When I was organizing this undertaking, we weren't sure how we'd fare without relic weapons, without triple melds, without Darklight armor, and without the tank having a mic to talk on mumble (^^;), but we pulled it off. Learning the fight was challenging and we got frustrated sometimes, but everyone was so enthusiastic and encouraging, we didn't give up, and in the end it was worth every wipe.

After probably 60 to 70 fights with my main linkshell we finally gave up hope on beating Garuda and decided to stop our static. Soon after I joined the linkshell in this picture and after two nights of hard work, constructive criticism and completely re-learning this heck of a fight I finally got those 5 achievement points I had been striving for. Unfortunately for this specific win all I received was those 5 points and 2 lovely totems but my only "goal" before 2.0 was to beat the bird b!@#$ and by God we did it, I will never forget this fight or the countless attempts and hours spent trying to take her down. And if you can't tell from the image we came pretty close to wiping again that night, this was actually the 3rd fight of the night and the previous attempts we were around 10% left, luckily a last ditch Burst got the win!

After a night of eating way too many Pomflares, Redsky Tekk, Mitty Tsuyoi, and Ceipher Reginax took Good King Moogle down once and for all.

A Reprieve from Battle

I didnt manage to post my Story for the above picture number # 121

I was minding my business one day taking a stroll through Uldah, Not really being a fan of Uldah I wanted to be in and out as quick as possible. I made it to the market wards in good time, everything was going swell, I got an awesome piece of equipment for a very good price. So......

Feeling chuffed with myself I decided to parade around in my pants as one does when they are very excited about something. I was merrily prancing in the street lion king style when all of a sudden I am pounced on by a cat burglar.

I wake up moments later to find all my equipment and money gone and I am surrounded by feline fiends !!!!.

So whats a girl to do.........GET EVEN !!!!

So what happen next........

I would like to say I won and that I walked away unscathed after a brutal battle. However, I cant I was beaten to a pulp and left for dead even the lallafels joined in on the beating.

To this day I avoid Uldah and the hooligans that live in those scary streets !!

Anyways, I now live a happy life as a pirate .

Becoming a Dragoon:
This is the day Seraphim came out in droves to unlock the ancient arts. A group of our finest Lancers set out to master the art of the Dragoon. Never did we expect to come into contact with the power of Nidhogg, Lord of the Dragons. To the best of my knowledge, we were among the first adventurers in Eorzea to be awarded the gifts of the Dragoon. With us stood two newly appointed Seraphim Paladin who aided us in our quest. One poor soul was wounded in battle, and retired to the Lancer's guild to recover and thus not present in this picture.
