Magian Moogle Trials

We all know this already: the Magian Moogles are a very suspicious bunch, and their methods of making gear or adventurers stronger is very... questionable, shiranai no?

They lure adventurers to their clutches by promising to make everything better, stronger and... more better, but the little things you just need to do to get it all turn into a lo~ng line of ardurous quests, and the Moogles shoot those sharp (and heavy!) stars at you at every opportunity.

They're certainly not too gentle, and still adventurers flock to them, yearning more power and higher levels. For a good while Pasifika was immune to their siren calls, but then they came up with a way to pull her in, too:


The epic long-lost Chocobo Chick Black Wing Giant Frog Technique!

Job specific emotes! Yours for the taking, if you just complete a little trial, that really isn't a trial at all...

Next thing you know, Pasifika was doing a trial with her loyal adventuring fellow Romidiant, to make him stronger as well. Luto said Romi had been feeling down ever since Pasifika beat him in the duel, and in a way that was completely understandable. It was Pasifika's duty to help her friend get over it, at all costs! So she did a teensy weensy little trial.

Then she took a club trial, because clubs are good, especially the hammer type ones. Just kill some easy notorious monsters, the Moogle instructed, and Pasifika went camping.

Easy! Just kill a notorious sheep three times.

Pasifika had a little lamb...

There's time to take in the sights as well~


Kill three notorious orcs... so~ easy!

Look where you're aiming with that thing, you could put someone's eye out! D:

Kill three ugly notorious spiders.... ugh! They're creepy...

Could somebody cast blind on me for this fight..?

But the view is great, and there's no hurry~


Then things got just a little bit more complicated (Two possible trials? What is this all about?) and Pasifika stopped doing trials for a while... a very short while, because there was a new limit break for Romi *and* another club waiting for her...

Experience and merit points

Brave little Donthitme, the optimistic optimiser, left Vana'diel for a good while... and then he returned!

Was it the enchanting gameplay and plot that brought him back?
New blue mage spells?
The level cap raise in general?
Or perhaps he just got bored of the other games for a while...

Maybe it was the shock of this unexpected event, or due to Nt's newfound love for the new Grounds of Valor, but after Dhm's return, Pasifika quickly gained a couple of levels in the gloomy depths of Garlaige Citadel and Horutoto Ruins.

Exping in a duo!



Exping with a couple of friends!



Exping with friends, fellows and pets!



Exping in an alliance of adventurers and adventuring fellows! :D



Maat needs a little more convincing to let Pasifika past 80, but not much... A couple of merit points should do it.

Even Pasifika's ninja leveled up to 49.

Too bad her spells, skills and such aren't up to date now. ._.

New adventures

So much has happened lately, I don't really know where to start... But I have to start somewhere, so I might as well tell about notorious monster hunting. Lina has for some time now had the ability to pop up monsters to kill her (and her friends) whenever she sits down to heal, and others seem to pop them similarily - sometimes they even mean to do it!



All sorts of things can pop up, from fierce cats to fairies, and from huge rams to tiny but deadly bunnies.




The bunny was Lina's, but what we really wanted were the rams, for this mysterious little thief:


Erzio, is that you?

Also, it's time for Adventurer Appreciation Campaign again, and we all know what that means - pretty new event dresses! :D

The Moogles had the dresses ready, but otherwise had problems with their supply network, so Lina and pasifika gave them a hand.



Are Moogles really so bad at getting things done, or are they masters at getting adventurers to do their work for them..?
This time they also had some other non-Moogle helpers to do their dirty work.



Either way, the new dresses are really cute and frilly, and the jackets for guys are equally stylish and cool~



Power Frog Girls!?

Equipment

These days I mainly play with Lina, when she ask me to go on an adventure together. Because of that, I most often play when I'm with her, away from home - and my home computer - so I use Dhm's little laptop.

It's slow and doesn't have all the keys as conveniently as I'd like, but as long as I have my gamepad, I can at least do something. It's not configured right, though, so I'm quite clumsy with it anyway.
Sometimes I forget my gamepad home, and then I have really hard time trying to do something, but... at least there's the external numpad, I can use that... ^^;

So when I say "I'm on my laptop, so I'm a bit slow"... That means very slow, and more likely to accidentally warp out than cure you in a pinch. ^^;;
