Red Mage Revolution

Fun times in Delkfutt's Tower.

A red mage must be properly equiped, unfortunatly for us this can get quite expensive at times. Recently I found my self drooling over a pair of aqua rings I saw in a store window. After much digging around in my mog house I could only come up with a small fraction of what I needed for my new shinies. I must remember never to leave my gil alone with that moogle...

After much deliberation I decide that camping a NM would be the best course of action to raise the money I needed, but this opened up a whole new can of worms. It's a delicate science, choosing NMs to camp, there are many factors that come into play: spawn time, size of the spawn area, difficulty, money to be gained from drop, how many little Taru gil sellers you have to step on to get the claim... Idealy you want something with a low spawn time, that sells for lots of money, and most importantly no gil seller compition. My choice? Enkelados. So it's off to Upper Delkfutt's Tower!

And to my joy I find the area deserted. Well it would have been deserted if there had not been a 2ft tall taru hiding under that dead Gigas. Well in retrospect I guess it was kind of odd that there was a dead gigas on the ground. I had just assumed he had killed him self when he sensed my presense.

The taru was a gil seller for sure. Crappy gear, gimpy sub, rank 1; a perfect match...

RMT> {Money} {Do you need it?} {sell?}

I swear, I would have never guessed...

After an hour or so ol' Enky spawns and thanks to Dia I out claim the little Taru retard. Everything was going fine untill I see

"Enkelados readies Charm."

Oh damn, he manages to charm me. I'm thinking okay so he'll just wail on me untill charm wears off and I'll get back to killing him.

Enky had differnt plans. I see his name go yellow, Oh damn. The taru goes nuts, starts spaming all kinds of magic and claims him... and his pet.

Remind me to thank Enkelados next time he spawns. Maybe I'll let him live more then a few seconds next time. Taru's HP is dropping faster then a rock in water. I deal the final blow.

Retard falls to level 59.
Well atleast his sub isn't gimped anymore.

Hiro-1
Retard Gilsellers- 0

I come uncharmed and finish the ol' giant off. No drop. Oh well atleast it wasn't a wasted day. I start heading home to have a talk with that damn moogle about honesty and how stealing is very bad, when get a tell. Oh not just any tell... it's from [GM]Moriyan

[GM]Moriyan> Hail adventurer.
[GM]Moriyan> I have recived a complaint about your behavior while camping a NM in Upper Delkfutt's Tower.
Hiroaki> I don't recall doing anything that is in violation of the ToS.
[GM]Moriyan You killed another player.
Hiroaki> Oh you mean the Taru, what about it?
[GM]Moriyan> Well to start... He's kinda not moving.
Hiroaki> You sure he's not just tired? I'm sure a little guy like that needs to take lots of naps to keep his energy up.
[GM]Moriyan> Well judging by the sword and axe wounds... and the fact that his right leg is in the next room... I'd say he is not sleeping.
Hiroaki> Well I'm sorry to hear that he died. I had no choice really, Enkelados made me do it.

Definatly not a wasted trip to Delkfutt's.
