With this in mind, DryRoot is recruiting selected jobs. If you’re in Europe OR can play European hours, we’re interested in hearing from you.

We’re looking to recruit heavy Melee (DRG, DRK, WAR, SAM, RNG); Mage jobs (RDM, BRD, WHM, BLM) and some utility jobs (COR, THF, SMN, DNC).

If you have any questions about our recruitment process, event schedule then most if it is answered in ours forums. If the forums don’t answer your questions – please send me (Dazusu) a /tell in game. I’m more than happy to answer any questions.

Pixie Earring went to Seventhmagi, as did the Aquarian abjuration: Feet. Whut? Tongue went to a Buyer.

Another Aspidochelone, more shit. Sold the Egg to a buyer with Alexos winning the W. Abjuration: Body

Our best drops from Yilbegan to date, after 7 kills. Agrona’s Leggings for Yurimi

This week also seen the first time we managed to kill Dendainsonne. Figured out the trick to limit the number of Meteors and Stuns it uses. Also got it with the worst possible combination – Worms. Fantastic.

A tier one also for those that missed, delaying our Odin cycle

Medusa went down, again for those working on Mythics. Troll next weekend.

More to come with a PW attempt in the works. Keep it here

A special thanks goes out to Flic for assisting with holding AV during Regen lock & JoL, Tsolamogola and Breaze for coming along as COR and BRD and Daiakuji & Niche for filling the last two DD spots in our alliance as two DR members were absent  

For all the haters who claimed we had 50 people for the fight; or that we teamed up with other Linkshells: Sorry – But No. Just No. Keep hating.

Things to improve: Moar TH4.

We killed a King Behemoth, but I forgot to take screen shots. I won M. Legs, and Brook won a Pixie Earring. Iwfym won an Aquarian Abjuration: Body. Congratulations, now you can walk around looking like an over-grown apple.

Castonell nabbed two Attestations, which means his Sword will be finished…. tomorrow morning actually. Excali incoming.

Gulool Ja Ja for those of our members working on Mythics. Castonell won the Volunteer’s Ring.

Mikeh, Arasuta, Brook, Castonell and Anarki are all sporting brand new Varangian helms. Lookins good gents.

Chiefbootron won a Strigoi ring from Lord Ruthven. It’s about time this bitch put out. Really.

We killed quite a few Kirin, zerging. Seen two pairs of Wyrmal Abjuration: Legs. They went out to Erialc and Iwfym.

Either way, we went on as planned with our first attempt and messed around with locking two hours. Most of which we locked; except for Manafont… some how it fired, and well – that was the end of that. Thanks to everyone who came along to help from DoAnEffort, and friends of the linkshell. We appreciate your time and EXP loss. We’ll be trying the now popularised zerg method on Sunday.

With our recent attempts at AV (before the bandwagon started!) we’ve been farming a lot of Sea, Yurimi won the Hope Torque!

Anarki won the Justice torque

Got through about 10 of them in 2 hours. Absolutely no Belts. And that’s an enmity set on my newly levelled Paladin. Need Bahamut’s Mask and Homam Feeties ._. Gtfo.

Never a pair of Gaiters when you want them. How unfortunate.

Odin was an interesting fight; we had a couple of errors with the add puller. Resulted in a dead tank, still – we killed within 25 mins with 20 people. Not our best effort; and you’ll probably agree that the drops echoed that. An Earthen Abjuration: Body went to DoAnEffort member, Arcangel. Chiefbootron won the Phantasmal Abjuration: Body. Other stuff went free.

We killed two of these birds. Not a bad mantle, Castonell and Iwfym picked up one each. I think Rizko won the Accuracy neck piece that it drops.

Did a lot of Abyssea, and a lot of NMs with a couple of drops which were banked.  Been a fun week or so; unfortunately drops haven’t been great – but we’ve had fun. More to come, as usual

An M Abjuration: Body from Nidhogg, we’ll be picking Kings up again pretty soon, so more of this to come

King Vinegarroon puts out again, this time for Castonell

On a side note, did you ever notice how much of our member base remains consistent for long periods of time? I love you guys 

It seems no one else is interested in KV anymore, so we’ve killed most of them and let a couple depop while we were busy doing other stuff. Congrats to Iwfym on the first hat.

Yet more KV, this time for Chiefbootron.

We’ve killed five KV the past week and allowed two to depop. Interested in buying an Ace’s Helm? Shoot me a /tell. Letting them go for 4m at the moment.

We’ve never really killed much Dynamis Lord because we’ve never really had a burning desire too, but we thought with 18 people at level 80, we’d see if we could clear opposite ends of the zone. So we attempted to clear the way to Dynamis Lord first, all Shadow Dragons upto Y&Y, then all the way to the other side of the zone (literally) to clear a path, via the northern route, to Animated Longsword. Then changed a couple of people to DRK and RDM/DRK and proceeded to annihilate both Animated Weapon and Dynamis Lord with about 20 minutes remaining.

It’s not really a great feat but it’s interesting and shows just how much the game has changed with only a five level increase. Will Final Fantasy XI even be the same game next update? Doubt it.

Animated Longsword for Castonell. Sorry about the piss-poor picture. Now to work on the Attestation. Urgh. During this Xarcabard, we also seen Alexos win a Sorcerer’s Petasos (which serves absolutely no purpose now), and Iwfym win a Duelist’s chapeau (which will be outdated next update). Several Valor Surcoats dropped. Iwfym won one, Chief bootron won another, and I think the third fell to the floor.

We did some Odin, again with 19 people. Interesting and fun fight, this also seems far too easy at Level 80. I hope Square Enix have some new end-game content planned other than Abyssea for the coming months; because Abyssea alone wont hold everyones attention for a long period and it will also completely make redundant every other enjoyable part of the game now.

One of our DoAnEffort members, Rasuka, won the Earthen Abjuration: Body. Congratulations to you – and Rizko won the Valkyrie’s fork for his gimp-ass Dragoon. Ginger cunt.

One of the cleanest Ultima’s I’ve seen. Black Mages actually survive Citadel Buster now. It’s interesting to say the least. New member Lilaan won one of the pairs of hands, and one of our DoAnEffort members took the other. Rizko won Ultima’s Heart, which is okay – seeing as he can’t get any from his missus.

Again, in Abyssea, I was expecting somewhat of a challenge. I know people have done this with 4 people with a little bit of a challenge – but then I’ve heard of other shells having difficulty. Went down in about 4-5 minutes and yep, you guessed it – no drop. That’s too bad  

Another free Sandworm (they are becoming quite common), the bank won the Tathlum. Love this Guivre fight. It’s fun to pull it raged just for the challenge.  

We spent one evening doing nothing but EXPing in Abyssea which seen me gimp my Paladin another 5 levels (now time to learn how to tank! ). Yurimi won the Glyph Axe for her Beastmaster. Again, where are the mage drops?

Tiamat dropped a pair of Herald’s Gaiters for Erialc. Congratulations! Still wish Square would fix the enmity cap issues on this!

During our time in Abyssea Tahrongi we also killed Minhocao twice, as a result we got two Vermeil Bhuj which Rizko and Mikeh won

In addition to Minhocao, we also killed Chukwa twice which yielded two Siege bows. Once for Mikeh and I forgot who won the other.

We got back into Einherjar again with this tier 2 run to finish another Odin set. 17 manned with extreme ease at level 80.

Yilbegan adventure with disasterous drops. Good fun as always though. We are yet to see this one drop a ring.

A free serket today while everyone was battling it out for Behemoth.

Jailer of Love, giving us absolutely none. Jailer of Walmart, new name. Fact.

A couple of LR’s, two capes, no rings.

Free Aspidochelone. Chief won the W.Body, congrats.

Dug up some old screenshots of Exoscrubs wiping to Cerberus, gave me a chuckle so I thought I would share with you  .

Exodus LS teaches me what it’s like to wipe to Cerberus (three times)

A few moments later…

Bless.

We killed Megamaw Mikey, got a couple of nuggets and a scythe for Anarki.

Killed some VNMs, four to be exact, and we only seen one ring – Congrats to Rizko on Karka ring.

Ridill to a buyer. Congratulations Shelby

Sold the W. Head to a gracious little taru; and I won the Pixie Earring for my WHM as everyone else had it

Brook won an E:Body which is now a sexy Armada Hauberk. Anarki won the M:Body to complete his set.

Lingus won the Bow, this turtle is actually how Aspidochelone should have been. Waterga IV, Stonega IV, and Mighty Strikes. Fantastic!

People will always insist on needing W.Legs, so we went after Kirin – and got shit out of it. Seems incredibly easy at Lv.80 though…

Don’t remember who won the belt. Yurimi also won a Thew bomblet during this Abyssea run.

Killed this, it didn’t Doomvoid.
