Winds of change... or a gentle a breeze, at least

New important missions and battles, and all that... but most importantly, a new spell for white mages and the long-awaited Mog House visiting possibility!

Ok, grab a scroll of Repose and learn it... check.

Go into someone else's Mog House and take lots of pics... check.

Not that much else to do for now... just hanging around in a Mog House not my own. Whee! :D

I guess that Moogle might be feeling a bit crowded, though. Well, if the host didn't want his guests to annoy his Moogle, he shouldn't have told us it dispenses drinks when you pull it's pompom. xD

Clothes make the mage

Finally Pasifika can disguise herself and pass for a proper white mage. :D Well, one more level for the mitts, but no one notices them... x)

Coming this far has taken time and effort, and for a moment it looked like it might've all been in vain... Pasifika ended up in a party with another white mage, and it seemed like she had gotten her AF from a box of Cheerios that morning. ;>_>

Well, after a while the other whm actually turned out to be a nice and mostly effective healer, but apparently she has gratuated from the same fine institution all healer npc fellows come from (well, except for Efe, perhaps o_o;). She promptly keept barfira up in case the Lesser Colibris decided to suddenly breath fire, and she also silenced the birds at every opportunity. Since no one got burned and Pasifika didn't see those birds cast a single spell, that must've been a very effective strategy.

The two white mages took turns to keep the party alive in the midst of the non-stop pulling, and gradually Pasifika started meleeing while waiting for her turn (with full MP), and even during it, since a strange rdm came to stand by the party and he occasionally cast haste on all the other melees.

After the other whm was replaced with a rdm, however, Pasifika put on her 'I'm a real whm' -robes on and stayed back. Dull, but well worth it because of the last charge in the Anniversary ring. (Goodbye forever, fantastic exp ;_;)

The cool gang

Everybody wants a pair of these cool shades, but only a select few have them. ...so far. By the end of next week, not only everyone has them, but they'll be so~ out, too. x)

(Huge crystal... Shiny~~ *_*)

Oh, there's the matter of proving which nation was the greatest, but, um... that's just an excuse, right? Phu couldn't have had any ulterior motives when he suggested San d'Oria as a base of operations... right? ^^;

Pasifika's step-by-step guide: Goldfish Bowl

You will need:

1 Sunbreeze festival
1 Goldfish bowl (note that this is not the same Goldfish bowl as the one we're making)
1-??? Super scoops
1 Goldfish set
1 Only slightly over-prized Glass sheet
1 Piece of Lauan lumber
1 Crawler calculus
1 Tiny goldfish
1 Black bubble-eye
1 Friend with decent to very tough crafting skills
1 Linkshell
1-??? Additional friends
Some other items for the craft, like a Bottle of Sieglinde putty, a Bronze ingot and a Light crystal

The list above may not be complete, so follow these instructions to aquire the required materials and resources to get your very own Goldfish bowl furnishing - in 8 easy steps!

1. Wait for Sunbreeze festival. Once it arrives, get your Goldfish bowl and as many Super scoops as you need and get scooping. Tear your gaze off the hypnotic dancing Tarus long enough to get enough fish for the Goldfish set - but don't turn them into points! Be really smart and give them to your friend with crafting skills, so *he*(/she) can get the Goldfish set, because its ex. (It's not rare, so don't worry - your friend can get their own, too! :D Optionally, you can get the set for yourself and take the "risk" with that lvl 10 woodcraft synth, but where's the fun in that?)
2. Check for the price of glass sheets at Jeuno AH and be horrified. D: 10 or even 20 times as much as usually, because of the festival! Check the prices again a couple of times, then forget about it untill your friend with crafting skills (who's keeping your Goldfish set) reminds you about it after a couple of months.
3. Get moving! Keep checking the prices of some necessary items and grab them off the AH when you can! Send them to your other character for safekeeping, because your inventory is constantly overflowing anyway.
4. Realise that there are no suitable fish for sale at the AH and you sold all you had left to NPCs when the Sunbreeze festival ended. Get your Goldfish bowl and that 1 last Super scoop out of storage (Who would throw something like that away?) and very carefully scoop up some fish - don't rip that last scoop! You can get some nice goldfish in the moats in Northern San d'Oria, for example. Ignore the stares as you fish with your scoop, they're just jealous because they've run out of Super scoops already.
5. Buy a Lauan log and get a Wind crystal, then craft the log into a piece of Lauan lumber. Even *you* can do that much, and it gives the finished item a nice homemade touch.
6. Change into lvl 8 WAR/WHM and go Crawler hunting with your friend for the Crawler calculus. Get killed by 3 Yagudos and a Goblin, then ask for a Raise in your linkshell because your homepoint is somewhere far away. Finish your hunt for the calculus, but be more careful this time.
7. Check that you now have all the necessary items for the craft, and tell your friend with crafting skills that you have them ready. When they tell you they didn't mean they're in a hurry about it when they reminded you about the Goldfish set, tell them *you're* in a hurry now that you remembered it. Send them the items ASAP and have them craft the Goldfish bowl somewhere where you can see them - it's a Light crystal synth, so it's beautifully sparkly and shiny. *_*
8. Take the finished Goldfish bowl to your Mog House, place it in your collection with all the other items that have moving/shiny parts and admire it.. the fish really move! Just a little, but they do move...
