Maintenance Day

As we all eagerly await maintenance to end in about an hour and a half I have run out of things to do at work and have decided to make an update here.

It's been just over a week since last update. On the 13th I was at a great Dynamis-Bastok run here are the statistics from that...

Single Coins -- 302
Saotome Kote -- Caaeia, Thelema, Unmaligned, Guiller
Wyrm Brais -- Direwolf
Summoner's Bracers -- Inuyashha
Sorcerer's Tonban -- Talrappy
Duelist's Gloves -- Valkyrion

Yea that's right, 4 SAM drops as well as a whopping 302 single coins! That number was only off our record by two back when we got 304 coins back in November which was also in Bastok. Unfortunately Andreas (the one person actually needing SAM Relic in Bastok) left the run early after only one of them had dropped.

On Saturday the 17th we went to Dynamis-Beaucedine where it was announced that once again I wasn't going to have an opportunity for my attestation because of the maintenance today and us needing to get some people the win. Thankfully we will try to make four glacier runs in March in which two of them will be attestation attempts. Anyways let's go ahead with the Beaucedine loot...

Wyrm Mail -- Arturus
Duelist's Tabard -- Cinder
Melee Cyclas -- Knightblade

On Sunday we went and camped Fafnir in the afternoon before heading to Sea. It's kind of funny how some groups claim way more then others, I'm starting to really wonder if there's a way of simply just being able to prove cheaters based on the ratio of claims a LS gets to the amount they camp. I mean theres really no skill in claiming nowadays, you just need to be lucky and in any algorithm that involves luck all LS's should have pretty much the same ratio of claims to camps. Unfortunately I don't think thats the case and if you were able to track each LS's ratio you would easily be able to pick out the LS's with the most cheaters (I say most because I don't believe theres no such thing as an end-game LS without any). Saying all that though I think it's clear which LS's are claiming the most and having said graph of ratio's is pretty much just a formality.

We went to Sea and killed Faith and Ix'DRK getting both the Virtue and Deed we needed. Unfortunately we still aren't back to where we were when Johnnyb stole all our pops from us but we are being viligent in getting back to that point.

In completely unrelated news I have got my WAR to Lv73 and about 25K from Lv74 which I hope to take a chunk out of tonight and maybe even hit 74 or come close.
