What Shall We do with the Drunken Corsair?

Akashea, Teila and I did two Assaults on Periqia today, and I think we’ve nailed this. It seems to be very popular, so it took us no time at all to put a party together. We even had a Japanese member, and for the Japanese to carry out missions with the English speaking players is rare!

Both times we escorted Excaliace quite easily to the end of the dungeon, and I had learned to control him so that he didn’t run off every time he saw a monster. I think there were only two slight blips where he ran away when I stepped slightly too far back in the first run, and in the second, a hidden Pugil that the party had missed popped its snout round a corner and every time Excaliace saw it, he panicked and ran for it. Still, both times we got him to the final room with around eight to nine minutes to spare. The first run I won a ??? Box (which was appraised and turned out to be a Set of Cleaning Tools (Furnishing)) and also a High Potion Tank, whereas Akashea won a High Potion +3. On the second run, Akashea won a ??? Sword (which was appraised and turned into a Gust Claymore). Each time we came out with 750 AP so if I try to do around three a day of these, I’ll have my Yigit Gomlek in no time!



After the Assaults, I reverted back to THF and headed over to Windurst to check on FrostMoon. Meanwhile, BBK was preparing to go into the Treasures & Tribulations BCNM in Balga’s Dais:

(Bigboykoala): I’m just about to do the Treasures and Tribulations BCNM! Squidy says I should go for the box on the right, so if it eats me I’m running upstairs to slap him!
(Kixxi): lol, gl dude.
(Bigboykoala): It just one-shotted me. ; ;
(Kixxi): No way? What job were you?
(Bigboykoala): A DRK25, now a DRK24.

So it seems, like that advert, for every bit of good luck, the balance is restored elsewhere.
