Dynamis Scythe!
I have nothing else to post because my internet was out, but I picked up this today. Stage 3 completed.
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
A couple of things. Turned in items for Stage 3 Scythe.
I finally decided to not be cheap and finish Stage 3 Scythe. I turned everything in on Sunday. I get the stage 3 scythe back next Sunday. I am down to 15 mill 13 of which I currently have "invested", I just need the market to pick back up. So I am going to try and build up my gil stash so I can play the buy low sell high game again.
I wasnt able to do both of the salvage runs on sunday since it was Labor Day weekend and I had a cookout to go to. I have yet to see a lvl 35 drop in salvage, such a bummer. I picked up this.

I am starting to think I shouldnt keep any salvage pieces unless I have the 35 pieces first. Its really starting to hinder my inventory space.

Shura Togi!

Its not a huge deal because D.body is typically a throw away kirin abj. But I received it via free lot. This is a very nice improvement for my MNK. It is the final improvement I am willing to make to my MNK right now besides Usukane gear.(with exception to lesser sky abj.)
There are a few other upgrades I can do, but I rather not because Im 340 bronze pieces away from having stage 3 complete. After I finish stage 3 I am going to take a break from buying coins so I can expand on my gil supply. I spent 5.5mill on stage 2 and will spend 20.5mill on stage 3. If I can get by with only spending 6k per byne bill, I can get away with spending only 37 mill on stage 4. (which after stage 3 ill already be halfway there) My goal has been to finish stage 4 by myself and find some help with stage 5.
I have been feeling out my role in my new shell. As expected I am pretty much BRDing 95% of the time. I really dont mind as long as I get to work towards the gear I want for my DRK. Playing BRD is super easy for most events so I can just do my job and not worry too much. Its really not too stressful. Only time I dont like being BRD is on Zergs. I have spent a decent amount of gil on my zerg build and I do actually like to use it. If not I will sell everything and in the process it will pay for 1/5th of stage 4..... I cannot wait to get rolling on this relic. I will be sooooooo happy when I finally get stage 4.
I decided to start working on a Catastrophe build. (though I guess it will be at least 4-5 months before I get stage 4 done) 3 of the items I want the most besides J.torque and Ebody are Speed Belt Ares Legs and Aurum Feet. I dont see a way to maximize that build w/o a speed belt. Having a speed belt allows ya to keep Aces Helm and use Aurum feet.
So I think my new list is Apocalypse>Ebody>Speed Belt>Jtorque>Ares Legs>Aurum Sabotans. The nice thing about all those pieces is they can double as useful pieces for other jobs I have, namely WAR.
I was checking out what I could do to boost my STR build a little bit. (I dont know why, I never use /THF anymore) But I saw I could make a very minor improvement. I figured since I had all the gear I wanted from Ampoules and have 40k ampoules left, I would pick this up.

Right now I am missing a few STR upgrades. Cerb Mantle+1 Onyx Cuisses/Ares Legs, Alky Bracelets, Flame Ring, Triumph Earrings. Probably the only ones I will actively go after are the RA/EX ones. N.Body/J.Torque/Ares Body.
I know I know... A long post of...ramblings, but thats what you get!

My new LS.
I am rather enjoying my new LS. Seems like everyone is knowledgable and has alot of fun. We came up short on a few of the things we went out to accomplish. We failed a Vrtra zerg, and lost Odin at <1%. Everything else has been positive.
I joined a salvage group. They seem to have thier shit together. I hope I can make it most of the time, salvage is one of the things I really want to make sure I do. I REALLY REALY REALLY want ares legs and body.
Beat Armored Chariot. I picked up this.

Now I dont think I will be upgrading this anytime soon. But I lotted it to keep it from hitting the ground.
I am making it my goal to obtain stage 3 scythe ASAP, so I am working on gathering coins at the moment. I have more then enough gil to buy stage 3 atm, but I dont want to overpay. I went ahead and picked up this:

God willing I can get stage 3 in the next week or 2.

99 Goldsmithing
First of all, so far my server change has proved very lucrative. I have made a few million just buying cheaper items on Quetz and transferring to Garuda. I was accepted for trial in 2 LSs. I joined the one that seems like it would fit my needs better. Tripredacus. How active this LS is, was very welcomed.
There are a few things that will be a little harder to get used to. Quetz had a thriving Bazaar area, with at least 30-40 people minimal afk at a time. This is not the case on Garuda. It has proven difficult to do the buy low sell high thing w/o a bazaar community like that. Also the elemental bead market here blows by comparison. I don’t know how I didn’t pick up on that before my move. Some positive things seems to be the items I farm for gil, are twice as expensive here. This makes it a lot easier to keep my goal of at least 140k a day.
99 GOLDSMTHING!!!
Man was I excited when I dinged 99. It was the night that I transferred. It kind of sucked because I have no friends on this server so I had nobody to share my excitement with. (bar one of my buddies on my friends list)

A big change
Due to my Dezvoltare being inactive for an extended period of time I decided to leave. I am changing servers to Garuda. I am probably going to go today or tomorrow. I got into what seems to be a very active, and well skilled group. I am pretty anxious to change.
Other then that, I am now 63 on THF. That is pretty much it. Just been trying to make some money. I am up to 25mill and 7.5 mill in dynamis currency. I am hoping on the server change I will be able to get better deals on some coins and then I will try to upgrade to stage 3.

An update finally
I have got .2 on Goldsmithing so I am now at a 98.6.
I have not done much besides make money and spend it. Rebought a Hauberk+1 and Mercurial Kris. Salvage has yet to net us a lvl 35 piece. One of these days....
Not really much else to add....

Little luck finally, but too much...
I got this itch to do a skill up synthe for goldsmithing. Just 1 since O.Ingots are hard to get at a decent price. So I went and made my ingots. I went to synthe the Orichalcum Ring and BAM HQ.

Usually I would be very very excited on a tier 0 HQ for a 98 Goldsmither. NOT THIS TIME. As most who would even read this blog would know, this is a worthless ring. Pretty much my options were NPC it, or try to desynthe it. I of course decided to desynthe it since I had a very very small chance to make my money back. Low and behold... HQ on the desynthe. Bigdadddy obtains 2 Orichalcum Ingots.
I am thrilled that I didnt lose 600k and was right back where I started. So I synthed the Ring again, NQ this time, and then synthed a Snow Ring and got .1 for Goldsmithing. This is awesome considering I havent skilled up Goldsmthing in 5-6 months.
Picked this up in salvage.

I have been working on merits and THF. I capped out Hand to Hand and put 2 upgrades into Kicking. I also went a head and finally got Troubador for my BRD.
I picked up this with my Allied Notes after the update.

This will pretty much be my full time PLD body piece.

60 THF and Leathercraft skilling.
I lvled my THF and skilled up my LC on whims. Only did a few levels of each but progress is progress. I dont need LC leveled for anything, but it looks easy to level so I will probably finish it.
Picked up these 2 Salvage pieces:


I had a rough day crafting the other day and lost 1.2mill. But I worked my ass off to make up for that the next day and im pretty close to being back where I was.
I have been camping Odqan for the hell of it and am currently 0/17. I found a way to make acceptable money while I am there so I been doing pretty awesome dual farming at once. I think I may do this for now on because its a quick and easy place to get to to farm.
We are doing KS99 tonight, so I am hoping to make a decent bit of gil, but if I don't, no harm no foul.

75 NIN on Mule and another lvl 15 salvage piece.
I am rather enjoying Salvage. I wish I could do it everyday.
We had a big scare in the End game shell. Lots of assumptions and worries since our leader been awol awhile. We about broke, which would be a damn shame. I think we worked out the issues (at least to start).
Anyways things are starting to pick up a bit, So hopefully I am not just making money all the time.

The start of my Salvage group!
We messed up initially on our first run and it lasted 20 minutes with a wipe and no reraises. Our second run was much much better. We didnt get any major drops but we did kill an NM. All of us are pretty new to salvage so its more getting used to Salvage and all being on the same page. We wasted a decent amount of time but I think that will decrease as we are more comfortable. We got 3 lvl 15 drops. I picked up my first Salvage piece.

Not much but alas its a start.
Other then starting salvage, I been pretty much solely making gil and showing up to normal events. I am 19k TNL to 75 NIN on my mule, so maybe in the next week I can finish that off while I farm. I have been trying to get 3k exp every day.

Black Belt!!!!

This is a big staple piece for MNK if you know anything about FFXI you know about this item. This will give my MNK 25% haste. Now if only I could pick up a D.Body Abjuration.
Dinged 74 NIN on my mule Cmdrfly. I am pretty excited to get this finished. I am guessing 1-2 more weeks. I have quite a few nice upgrades for 75.
I havent done much else besides make money.(as usual)

73 NIN on mule - Crazy Fafnir recovery
In the process of my farming I have been slowly accumulating exp on my mules NIN. I dinged 73 yesterday. The original Cmdrfly would be happy to know that I dropped the Tamas Ring I had decided to get and regot the Rajas Ring. Cant wait to get his NIN to 75.
I have seen and done almost all this game has to offer. That said, yesterday I had a first. My LS claimed fafnir yesterday. One of our tanks couldnt see the animation or somthing and flailed him right off the bat. We had a full wipe except 3-4 people and we managed to recover and get the win. I have been in the Aery alot and never seen a LS recover from a flail(usually it gets taken), so I would say it was an interesting night.
I completely sold out of all the dynamis currency I had. Pretty good stuff. Made a pretty decent profit. I also bought an M.kris again because I saw it for somewhat cheap.
We have a lot of inactivity in the shell as of late. I know its mostly because the leaders have been busy with RL stuff. Hopefully things pick up.

75 MNK
Dinged 75 MNK. Pretty exciting. 75 is such a big level for Monk.(as it is for pretty much every job) I pretty much dinged then logged off yesterday. Dinging 75 gains me 10% more haste and Martial Arts IV. I am pretty sure the first time I have free time I will take it to skill up the last Hand-to-Hand and evasion skills.
Other then making gil and exping my Monk, there hasnt been a whole lot else going on. Einerjar and Dynamis pretty much only things kicking around atm. Hopefully that changes. I want more points so I can actually bid on E.Body, if it ever drops.

Asuran Fists and Behemoth Tounge
I unlocked Asuran Fists. Man am I glad I did. It seems to be superior by far for my farming needs at the moment. I am really enjoying Monk. Every level from here out I have something new to wear or to get so its exciting.
I picked this up at our KS99 last night.

That makes me 2/3 on Black Belt items. My monk will have a 25% haste build after getting BB. It is definately one of my short term goals. I think I may even try to buy my last item.
Picked this up via free lot.

I have made enough money to finish stage 2 of a relic. This has been my long term goal I started. I been making 1.5-2mill a week, which I think is pretty awesome considering the amount of effort I have been putting into it.
Anyways normal goals: Get LS points/Make money/lvl MNK to 75.

MNK 71
I dinged 71 Monk. These last few levels should be exciting. I get somthing every level. I managed to get my Knuckles of Trials worked off and only need the fight to obtain Asuran Fists. I am pretty excited. After I get that fight, I will probably start seeking again to try and level up as quickly as possible.
I ended up buying an M.Kris back because we claimed King Vinny. and it was late and we had a low man group. I saw one for relatively cheap and decided I may be able to make a few bucks off it eventually.
We killed King Behemoth (first KB claim we have got since I dont know when) and I picked up this:

Not really all that great for any of my current jobs, but my THF is next on the list of jobs to level and it will be great for it.
Still pretty boring life on the game. Just making money, while leveling up my MNK and my mule's NIN. I will starting Salvage today. Hopefully this will bring some more excitement for me.

Lvl 70 Monk
I have been doing the normal HNM thing. Just trying to gain points. I been trying to average 100k a day via farming/crafting which has turned out to be incredibly easy for me. I have 5 more levels on Monk, then I can really get busy with making money. I decided I am going to make a serious push to upgrade an Apocolypse. After selling my M.kris I am up to 8 mill to get me started. I figure if things keep going like they have been for me, I should have 12-13 mil by the end of the month. I have several options that I could take to lower the amount of gil it will take, but for now I am not going to worry about it and just worry about making money and getting a good nest egg together. Hopefully sometime relatively soon I can host dynamis or join a new shell that will let me go forward with this endeavor, but we will see.
Oh yeh, ding lvl 70 MNK. Hopefully I can get some Black Belt items soon!

My first big Goldsmithing HQ.

Well its not really that big. Tier 1 HQ. After selling all the NQs I will have made about 300k profit. Not much, but still a first for me.
Dinged 69 Monk. I am getting pretty ancy to get into the 70s. I have sone pretty nice gear ready for it.
Killed the Eviceration NM. Finally. Mainly got motivated to do this so I can start working on Asuran Fists when I ding 71.
I decided to unequip my mule's WHM. Its going to be harder to Solo/Duo my Monk to 75, but I think it can still be done. I am about 2-3 Einerjar away from getting Cmdrfly another Item. I think I have changed my mind and am going to get him an Iota Ring for his Ninja. I am going to be very cheap on his NIN so I am just trying to get good enough gear that I can farm decently.
I have over 30k Ichor on Bigdadddy.....with nothing to buy. Should have a Odin next week.

Few and far between update.
Picked up my final piece that I wanted from limbus for my main character. The musical earring will probably be my final replacement for a very long time on BRD.
My Monk is now 67. I hope to ding 68 tonight.
My FFXI life has been pretty boring as of late.(thats why so long in between posts) Login, go to the same ol events, logoff. Occasionally I been exping my MNK. Crafting for skill ups is pretty much at a stand still until prices get adjusted on Orichalcum Ore/Ingots. Only do about 4-5 synthes a day to try and scrap together money.
I did manage to get a merit party to get me enough merits to put 2 upgrades on my Hand-to-Hand skill.

Hell hathe frozen over!

One of the pieces I thought I would get months ago. God, the amount of excitment I had when this dropped. I spent 199 points for it, and I dont even care. My DRK TP/Zerg Gear got a boost. My PLD /NIN gear got a boost. Not to mention my up and coming 58 THF. I just cant speak to how happy I am to finally get this piece. The only way I would be happier is if I picked up an E.Body.
Now, to have a different goal in Limbus for the first time in 10 months. I am curretly about 50 ancient beastcoins short of a Musical Earring and 75(the full amount) short of a Loquacious Earring on my mule.
This opens up a whole other set of questions for me. How much longer do I do Limbus? If I drop Limbus what do I do to take its place? Regardless I am going to continue to do Limbus until I get the coins I need for my earrings. I been tossing around the idea of getting Nashira on my mule. I dont know though, off and on during my FFXI time I have spent around 2.5 years doing Limbus. Maybe its time for a break.
I have been working on leveling my Monk. So yesterday I managed to get me some Destroyers. Arguably the best Hand-to-Hand weapon for typical Monk. There is nothing in my way now of exping. I just need to do it.
I have also been exping Dancer here and there. I want it as a full sub so I can really start taking advantage of campaign.
Dinged 63 on Monk.
Dinged 9 on Dancer.

A couple Sky goodies.
I have still been gone the majority of the time due to the NCAA tournament. But I did manage to get a couple free lot things.

Which is good for about 1 thing... Earth Resist build.

This is good for my mule Cmdrfly. I sold his Berserkers Axe a long time ago, and I finally replaced it with a upgrade.
Other then that, we finally got Homam Legs to drop last Monday. Chinis got his pair, so I am now next in line. We are doing Omega today, so hopefully we get lucky with a 2nd drop in a row.
Dinged 62 on my Monk. Its pretty nice to be able to solo 2k+ exp in campaign now.
Wings of Honor: Re-recieved the highest campaign rank again.

A few things here and there!
Not really a whole lot but I have a few misc. things.
Dinged 60 MNK
Got .2 on my Goldsmithing. Sitting at 98.3.
Other then that, I been pretty much not logging on as much. Mostly because of all the NCAA basketball thats been going on. Now its pretty much limited to the weekends so I will be trying to get on more.
At this point I want to get my MNK over the hump. I have all the gear bought for it that I can all the way to 75. I just have some end game activities to do to finish it off.(for the time being) D.Body, D.Legs, D.Head, Black Belt, Destroyers. All items very do-able for me.
As always one of my main things I would like to see happen somtime soon is seeing Homam Legs drop.

98 Goldsmithing and another FAIL at Omega.
I HATE HATE HATE Omega right now. We got dual Homam Head drops AGAIN! This is soo retarded. I been saying this for months, but I am really sick of this shit on Limbus. I want my damn legs so I can get on with my life.
98 Goldsmithing (actually 98.1) Thank god I am done with S. Ingots... but now I have elemental bead rings... Blah
Been doing nothing but trying to get linkshell points so I can at least meet the minimum on e.body.
Dinged 55 on MNK.

Valor Surcoat!!!!!!

I got me a Valor Surcoat! Fairly rare drop, really my last piece of Relic that I am willing to spend points on. (Well besides -1 and acc pieces) Its not a huge upgrade but alas it is an upgrade. Now I want a refund on my Gallant Surcoat +1!
Also got my MNK to 54. I am kind of anxious to get to 57 to wear my Scorpion Harness.
Freaking Goldsmithing. 97.9. I WANT TO BE DONE WITH SCINTILLANT INGOTS. .1 more!! I am sick of them. I want to get my .1 then make a few elemental bead rings, then take a break. I am kind of working towards one of the new crafting rings that increases success but cuts out chance to HQ. This will be great for the ring since it requires crafting 2 O.Ingots then crafting the Ingots into a Ring, then 1 bead synthe, then 1 with the ring and the bead.
Also one of the big accomplishments for our shell has been finally defeating Odin. We have been doing Einerjar for ages, but never have more then 20-24 so Tier 3s were extremely difficult for us. Our LS leader gave a huge point bonus for Einerjar and magically people started showing up so we have 28-32. We have won our past 4 tier 3s+ 1 Odin. I think we are finally set to start farming the hell out of that guy. My hopes is this expidites our rate of getting E.Body, making it #1 on my list.

My first Dynamis-Xarcabard piece and more.

These went free-lot and I picked them up. I wont use these for 95% of situations, but is a phenomenal MP piece. Regardless my first Xarcabard piece after 2 seperate Dynamis shells.
Dinged 52 on Monk and finally found some Cross-Counters to buy after going 0-2 on Western Shadow for the RA/EX version.
Did omege yesterday......
2 heads 1 body......
Well done on the body, but 2 heads!! AGAIN!!
25 successful Omegas, 20 Homam Heads...... Thats ridiculous.
Did 3 Ouryus yesterday. We have 4 Bv2 pops now. Hopefully we will get some Masks finally, not to mention some money.
I almost have enough luminium ore to try another synthing session to get to 98... I hope this is my last session, so I can quit turning my money into ingots and waiting for them to sell.

Ultima, Few Skill ups, HNMs, MNK
I recieved this:

Pretty worthless, but Ill take it with hopes to store the set sometime. I am now 4/5 on WAR relic.
Im now 97.7 Goldsmithing. .3 more until I cap on Scintillant Ingots. I cant wait because the cometition is fierce for selling the ingots.
We popped Proto-Ultima Thursday. We got Hands, Head, Body. We have Omega on Monday.
My addiction lately has been my Monk. I have soloed/duoed my way to 49. I am currently looking for some Cross-Counters, and refuse to exp to 50 with out them. I think they will help out tons for soloing/duoing. My goal is to get it up to 60-65 as quickly as possible so I can lot items to finish the Black Belt. I would love to be able to ding into 70 with it.
Still seem to do mainly Dark Ixion. All the kings are out of our time zone. We killed JoL last evening. Got torque and Novio.

97 Goldsmithing and a few more things.
Biggest thing is dinging 97 goldsmithing. Starting to get closer to being done with scintillant ingots. .9 more to go.
Dinged 40 MNK. Its been alot of fun. Think im going to go ahead and lvl it as my next 75 for sure.
Got these in dynamis friday:

We did Ultima on Thursday. Got Legs, Hands, Body. pretty good drops.
We need 2 more chips for Ultima and 2 more chips for Omega. Pretty much guarantee 1 boss for the next 2 weeks.
Got our first tier 3 Einerjar win on Wednesday. We are finally getting high enough numbers to do these.

Quite a nice weekend...
Usually I dont post on Sunday nights, but I had a wonderful weekend.
I obtained 3 great pieces this weekend.



The Ace's Helm is a piece I have been wanting for my DRK for a long ass time. Great add for me. One of the top 3 pieces I wanted for my DRK. E.Body and Justice Torque to go.
The Ochimusha Kote is a top tier piece for DD on MNK, SAM, NIN. I have been on this MNK kick, so it will be a great piece. I went 1/23 on this NM. Worst NM for me.
I broke down and spent 100k getting the rest of my ancient coins to get my earring. Ill be full timing it on BRD, and use it on my PLD for /NIN casting.
Feeling pretty good about progress right now. Right now still my focus is to finish my 1.7 skill on Scintillant Ingots then I will focus on making money and get a couple things (i.e. buying another haub+1) then try to finish up goldsmithing to 100!

96 Goldsmithing
I dinged 96 Goldsmithing and actually made about 300k profit in the process this level. Made a Snow Ring the other day. It was pretty exciting to be able to make on of those rings.
Lots of HNM stuff. Fafnir, King Vinegaroon, Ouryu, Einerjar. Been trying to keep ToD on KV this past week. Its netted our LS 2 Aces Helms. I think I should be able to win bid on one here soon. Its one the pieces of gear that I want to nail down on my DRK. Happend to get a Nidhogg. Got an E.Body out of it. It went to Grodo.
Popped Omega yesterday. Hands and Feet. This is getting old. But we did happen to get a Charcoal and Smalt chip from him. We also sent a farming party to Weapons and got an additional Charcoal chip.
Only side bars were I got my Woodworking to 18 and MNK to 28.

Ramblings....
Decided to exp my MNK when I have some free time. Managed to get it to lvl 23. My mule doesnt have Purple Belt/Brown Belt quests done. So I decided to finish them on him. Picked up a Lumbering Horn in about 15 minutes and completed Purple Belt. I need a Nue Fang to complete the Brown Belt. I am now 0/6 on Nue and 0/1 on Kiramata.
Finally got to pop my Armed Gears. Negative on the drop.
I have been trying to sell my Mercurial Kris. I have used it 4 times since I bought it. Not really all that good considering we now have 4 Kraken Clubs in the shell, and I usually come BRD anyways. I figure whats the point of having almost 5 mil worth of gear for no damn reason.
Been struggling to find skill up materials for my Goldsmithing. I have been 94.9 for 2 days now and havent done a single synthe. Seems there are some other people out there just as desperate as me for Luminium Ore.
We have an Ultima run on Thursday, then hopefully next Thursday Omega.
I havent tried to make gil in about 2 months. Yet since I am skilling up for profit, I have been able to ride the line and stay about even. I found a LS that will sell me a Justice Torque for 3 mill. They said it could be a month or 2 before they can, but to me that may be worth it. I am guaranteed to spend over 200 points in my LS for that torque (only got 2 in the 11 months I been rollin with them). I would rather keep my points and try and get somthing like...oh... say E.Body. (not that I am even close enough right now anyways)
I am pretty bored right now in game. Especially when I have to come BRD to everything lately. I think I may look for a Salvage shell soon. We never do it, no matter how much everyone talks about it.(at least at my play times) We are still pretty busy though, so I am just gritting my teeth and going with the flow. Hopefully will be worth it in the long run.
sorry for the ramblings....

Limbus and a couple Kirins
Still havent been doing much, but did manage to get on for a couple of Kirins last night. Got decent drops. D.Body, N.Body, W.Legs. Isnt it wonderful doing kited Kirins! BLAH! Oh well at least I was on to actually do somthing so it didnt matter to me.
Limbus shell is doing good. We picked up what seems a few members that can be counted on to show up. We actually had enough people on to dual zone 2nd tier Temenos. We have an Omega on Thursday, and next week hopefully we can do 1 tier 2 temenos (actually ill hope for 2) and pop Ultima next Thursday. All I know is the past 2 Omegas we did didnt drop chips and if he doesnt put out this time there are going to be some angry people. Not to mention we really, really, really need a legs drop

Capped Parrying, Finally!
Not exciting to probably anyone else but me, but I dinged 200 Parrying sometime last week. That completely makes my DRK combat skills all blue. Its been a small goal of mine the past since before I quit the first time. Parrying has been the only thing not capped for about 1 year.
Still been having trouble signing on. By the time I sign on I am usually soo late that I dont get to do much, so I usually just do my synthes and sign off. Kind of a bummer, but what can ya do.
Not sure what I was at last time I posted, but my Goldsmithing is at 94.2 now. Funny how I am making about 10-20k a day by spending 2 minutes synthing stuff.
Limbus group is getting pretty ancy with our lack of Ultima pops and lack of decent drops on Omega. I joined this shell around 1.5 years ago, and our drops are as follows:
Homam Head: 14
Homam Body: 6
Homam Hands: 8
Homam Legs: 5
Homam Feet: 13
Nashira Head: 3
Nashira Body: 1
Nashira Hands: 1
Nashira Legs: 7
Nashira Feet: 1
We are 6 Temenos wins from 2 Ultimas and 2 Apollyon wins from an Omega, so maybe the next month or 2 will be good for the shell.
