The sun broke out across the world for a hint of summer as our members took to the otherside to experience real life, but that didn’t stop Hyozan from racking up another week full of achievements.

So I missed a week! I’m getting better at it. See? SEE? I’m updating now!… Okay, you want my excuse? Been working on the new website for He Says, She Says, so if you used to listen to the show, I’m happy to announce that I’ll be starting up the show again this summer with a slew of (guest) hosts :D

Let’s take a gander at what’s been going on in the shell!

Right! It’s been a very long time since I last got around to post a TWIH, but that’s really because a lot of things have happened in the shell since moving to Cerberus…and even before that!

But something else that’s been long overdue: Let’s identify some people first, since there have been some namechanges!

This Week in Hyozan #16 (week 22)

Posted by Tamtu on Tuesday Jun 2, 2009 Under This week in Hyozan

thisweek1This week is going to be an exciting week for myself! Sooraya and her family will be visiting next week so I need to get things spotless and clean! Doesn’t mean I won’t be busy myself, though. I’ll be going on a hiatus next week, just so you know.

For now, I’ve been thieving it up in Vana’diel and got THF from 26 to 32! 27-31 in something that was pretty much an all-day XP event with Arwin. Fun was to be had as we swapped in LS members throughout the day in the Jungles. I gotta say, Trick Attack is a lovely, lovely thing. Now to find some innocent White Mages to SATA.

TamTu grins roguishly at Sooraya.

Besides that, I got the AF weapons for Black Mage and Warrior with the help of Arwin and Ravencroft for completionists purposes. Still need Warp II, though.

Let’s see what the others have been upto!

  • Raige is slowly climbing up on Dancer at 17!
  • Katamatoo’s worked his Thief to 21 and Samurai to 34!
  • Level 25 White Mage Sooraya at your service! We have an additional Raiser in the LS, people :D
  • Ghostofonyx is now finally enjoying the wonders of Warp with his Black Mage levelled to 17! His Monk is sitting nicely at 31 as well.
  • Cressidia is steadily working on Dancer, sitting at 43 and hitting Rank 5! Now she too can rap along to my parody! Samurai to 30 as well.
  • Segan got his Black Mage to 40! (Hey buddy. Under Observation, {Can I have it?}, {Please}? Pretty pleaaaase?)
  • Kigeca unlocked Summoner and Samurai, got her Red Mage to 36 with BLM and WHM both nearing 20.
  • Danta got his Warrior up to 27, Puppetmaster to 48 and Rank 5 in Bastok! (Airship Rap, {You can have this}).
  • Garin finished Dragoon to sub-level and got his last Mog Safe expansion done.
  • Eruainur is still goin through Ninja. 29 levels done, 8 more to go! You can do it :D

Before I wrap this up, here’s a link I found at the Playonline Community sites page: http://ffxigear.com/ It’s probably the best gear tool-site I’ve ever encountered! Check it out :) It’s great for planning ahead or check out your current stats with particular setups.

What a week! Aside from my K-1 Visa interview IRL, FFXI has been keeping me busy this past weekend and before! But definitely the rest of the LS as well!

We’ve got a bunch of stuff done this week, but mostly: People have been returning! Garin popped up a bit more frequently, as well as RAAAAAAAIIIGEEE. Myri finally got off her City of Heroes kick and found her residence back into Vana’diel, as did Kigeca and Zaryph. And one of the more exciting returns is that of Biri!

We had an amazing alliance in the Dunes, ending up with 16 people in the sandy beaches fighting lizards and goblins and sheep, oh my! It all started when an un-named smartass Tarutaru telling Raige about skills and crap (or lack there of) under level sync, then going ahead and camp on top of us. Even went as far as calling us noobs, when he couldn’t even lead his party to do anything, besides having the NIN-tank die. He promptly ditched them to solo his Ranger and left to their own devices, their new leader Rickyorton asked if we wanted to alliance with them. I told everyone in vent to do it. Crazy shit. It’d be awesome.

The podcast has kept me really busy! Episode 10 of HS/SS and the Square Enix Podcast Tour special kept me away from the game and go figure; the time I *do* find for the game, it’s usually gone to waste (except for that one day I levelled Samurai).

This week in Hyozan #10 (week 14)

Posted by Tamtu on Monday Apr 6, 2009 Under This week in Hyozan

This week in Hyozan!It’s that time of week again my friends and it’s been quite an eventful week! Let’s check it out!

I’ll start with some unfortunate news; Serennie’s account was apparently hacked into and he was able to retrieve his characters. And as such, he started his new characters Roflcopter (Tarutaru mule), Galloen (Galka character) and Rorukatto (Mithra). Here’s hoping you find new inspiration and motivation to continue playing, my friend! This week is also April Update week!

I haven’t really done a lot this week, but I was able to participate in two very successful Promyvion runs for Serennie, Rahi and Seker, as well as help some people with some Wings of the Goddess missions! I gotta thank Serennie, Rahi, Sooraya, Arwin and Ravencroft for helping out with farming the 108-Knot quipu for the Windurst storyline in the past.

Also. Pankration. During Sooraya’s inactive-account period (It’s all up and running again :) ), I picked up this over-looked event. While I can understand why it’s been overlooked the way it has, it’s something that I can actually do to stay in-game and *do something else* if I don’t feel like levelling or farming or helping. My Ghost, Undead Jack, hit level 5 last night. Ectosmash (as much as I hate the move when it hits me) is his strongest move right now. I’ll have to research Pankration some more, but I’m at least accumulating Jettons at a relatively decent pace :D Perhaps we’re looking at possible ZNM runs in the future!

The end of the week probably handed us the biggest event (for the San d’Orians in the LS, anway)! Gustaberg is under San d’Orian control! For many people the last OP warp they needed to do, including myself.

Onto the others!

  • Eruainur got WotG Mission 10 done (Which is the big Treant fight), a bunch of merits, and finished ToAU mission 22.
  • Segan’s still Campaigning and got Sterling Star §§! Dragoon is slowly rising up to 33, and his Red Mage is at level 10.
  • Ravencroft has finally joined us in game with his new powerhouse and merited off Trolls in Halvung and overall helping out a lot with Arwin. Yay! He also obtained Ninja Kyahan+1
  • Ghostofonyx had his BIRTHDAY yesterday and being San d’Orian, it looks like Altana graced us (San d’Orians) with control over Gustaberg. Sorry Bastokers, but as far as I’m concerned, you can have Ronfaure XD. He also completed Storms of Fate!
  • Katama entered the ranks of the Knights of the Iron Ram and opened up 4 Cavernous Maws in the past. Claimed Nunyenunc last night and got his Pilgrim’s Wand!
  • Sigmund’s been drooling over the SAM/RNG combination and levelled it from 20 to 26! (Archery for the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiin~!)
  • Kaixy completed his BLU AF and got his Black Mage out of retirement!
  • Seker’s been Woodworking and got it up to 22, along with Ranger to the same level. Promyvion-Mea was finally completed so he can continue CoP! Donged to 74, but re-dinged 75 on his Red Mage!
  • Last but not least in this update, Cressida hit MNK30 and WAR15, unlocked Dancer and Samurai with Segan’s help :)

Sorry if I missed anything, but that’s what this forum is for, guys!

New members this week: Uhm. refresh my memory guys.
