Butcherblock

Kasul and I spent a good few hours yesterday on our Mangler characters, getting ourselves and our computers ready for restarting on Aradune in a couple of weeks. It was classic EverQuest. In FFXIV, you could be kicked out of a group for not pressing enough buttons, fast enough. It’s a frenetic experience. If you’re not pressing a button, you are not contributing in FFXIV.

Whichever artist did the sky – well done. I was blown away. Also, note that Winterwing has a gi now :) That’s the Lonetusk Gi from a named in the Ruins. The stats are awful but… it looks like a gi, and now she doesn’t have to do the woefully out-of-date armor quests in order to look like a monk again. Well, bruiser. ...
