Ah! Ah! 12 amu in the mass spectra?! WTF?!

Well, I had fun last night… spent a whole hour trying to solve this mass spectra that we got as homework. Got my exams in 7 days, so it’s not a good that it took me a whole hour to solve it!

The thing that I got stuck on was the fact that there was a peak at 12 amu, which is quite rare for mass spectra. But it was solved later as the figure was CF3CN. Oh neat, WordPress does subscript automatically.

I’m on Twitter now, so you’re all free to add me there as well.

Don’t think there was anything new, we failed Odin again, timed out at 1%. It’s kind of disappointing, but yesterday we just finished another entry set, so we’ll be entering monday from now. I’ve also taken up the task to organize the member’s list and to see who has what feathers. :3

Not much progress otherwise, finished up Sublimation to 5/5 and Grimoire recast to 5/5, although, now I think perhaps it would be better to do Helix potency. Although, I’m not sre if I’ve ever used helix to start with…Working on Enlightenment, it’s at 2/5, want it at 5/5… ^^

Got to go as SCH to one of the LS events, yay! Was only Dyna-Sandy, but it was mighty fun nuking with te BLMs. ^^

Christmas Break Update

Wow, so what have I been up to recently?

Christmas break, and I’m not touching Masspspectrometry until January 2nd!  I’ve been levelling DNC like crazy! Lv.37 -> lv.54 during the christmas break. The Dagger merits are getting used! I’ll come back later with a picture, when I’m not looking too retarded in my mismatch outfitaru!

We did Einherjar yesterday. Only tier 1. Didn’t really clear, we finished off the Manticore boss, but remained was 2 Dark Elementals when we pinged out. We knew something was fishy when we got into the zone and the only mobs there was Dark Elementals and the Manticore boss. Seems like Sage Sundi forgot to mention that they were gonna implemend a new update into Einherjar! Mass PING outs!

Hilarious, LOL ensued, followed by panic and frustration!

Nuking gear

Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve been thinking of upgrading my equipment for SCH, since I lack a nuking setup (and detest it!), don’t even have all the IV nukes yet, (I’m a poor taru!).

So after reviewing  http://kanican.livejournal.com/34049.html#cutid3 I’ve come to the, very brief, hysteria that I can manage the gear and get some decent nuking gear on my Taru!

Main	Elemental Staves (need)	Potency +15%, Hidden MACC
Ranged	Sweet Sachet	INT +2
Head	Argute Morterboard	Skill +7
Body	Scholar’s Gown +1 (need)	INT +3, Skill +15
Hands	Genie Gages (need)	Skill +8
Legs	Mahatma Slops (need)	INT +8
Feet	Goliard Clogs	INT +4, MACC +2
Back	Merciful Cape (need)	Skill +5
Waist	Argute Belt (need)	INT +5, MACC +2
Neck	Elemental Torque (need)	Skill +7
Ear 1	Elemental Earring (need)	Skill +3
Ear 2	Moldavite Earring	MAB +5
Ring 1	Tamas Ring	INT +5
Ring 2	Snow Ring (need)	INT +5

So I need: All HQ elemental staves (except Terra’s Staff), which I use for Elegy on BRD.
What I need to be dropped is Synthesis Materials for SCH body, Argute Belt, Merciful Cape

Need to be bought is:

Snow Ring ~ 300k
Elemental Earring ~ 550k
Elemental Torque ~ 160k
Mahatma Slops ~ 280k
Genie Gages ~ 150k
Aquilo’s Staff ~ 130k
Jupiter’s Staff ~ 550k

Total: 2 120 000G /sigh

Set Bonus would be:

INT +32
Skill +45
M.acc +4
M.atk +5

Granting a Tarutaru SCH/RDM without Elemental Magic Merit nor INT merits, this would grant Skill 301 and INT 109

Anyone with any BLM or SCH experience that could tell how this would fair against HNMs?

-Enmity Gear

Main	Light Staff	Cure Potency +10% , +1 MND
Sub	Staff Strap	-2 Enmity
Ranged	White Tathlum	-2 Enmity
Head	Argute Mortarboard	Fast Cast, +5 MND
Body	Goliard Saio	-5 Enmity, +5% Haste, +5 Conserve  MP
Hands	Scholar’s Bracers +1	-3 Enmity, +5 MND
Legs	Mahatma Slops	-4 Enmity , +8 MND
Feet	Scholar’s Loafers	-2 Enmity, Fast Cast
Back	Errant Cape	-5 Enmity
Waist	Penitent’s Rope	-3 Enmity, +5 MND
Neck	Benign Necklace	-2 Enmity
Ear 1	Novia Earring	-7 Enmity
Ear 2	Delta Earring	-3 Enmity
Ring 1	Tamas Ring	-3 Enmity , +5 MND
Ring 2	Trooper’s Ring	-4 Enmity

This is a tweaked version of the one that Kanican gave out! Total is -45 enmity -5 enmity from merits equals to -50 enmity.

Scholar drop in Dynamis! ^^

Got a nifty gift from zEUs today!

The Argute Mortarboard! They give new spectacles too!

I’ve also decided to pimp out my SCH! It’s a really fun job to play! I’m going to start maximizing the -enmity gear it has for curing etc. Following that SCH-buddha that I read on LiveJournal, forgot their name! >.<)b

Assaultarus!

Trying to complete my assaults for Captain rank at the moment!

I’ve finally beaten More than One now! Yay! That Cerberus fight was freakin’ tiresome! The thing is now, that since I’ve finished doing them all, at least that’s what I think I did! Apparently, I don’t, so I need to figure out which ones I still need to complete.

Jormungand!

We managed to kill Jormungand Sunday with ease! We were mostly doing it for fun, since it doesn’t really drop anything worthwhile. The fight was smooth, a few died… but I survived! YAY!

It was also fun to do something on SMN! Since it’s nothing I usually do… The damage was consistent and a few even excelling. I of course, accidentally woke up Jormungand when we slept it…

Fracilicious

So an update! Yay! Mattycakes ought to be happy.

Haven’t been able to do a lot of things lately because of exam times. You can read all about my school work on lifeontheclist.wordpress.com, if you’re into chemistry and organic chemistry angst.

So zEUs was doing Dyna-Beaucedine yesterday and for the first time since the update, COR relic dropped. And guess who was the one who got to lot it? Yours truelly, Tykkaru!
