Grats on the drops.
>.> The Myi Post... <.<
LoL First I wanna say thanks to everyone... I have to be honest and say that I don't really know the rarity of these drops. With TheDynamisShow I've seen lots of AF drop for lots of people. Granted this is my first time in the Northlands... I know that we have had a great time every run... this story tho starts a week ago.
TheDynamisShow's first run in Xarcabard left us all highly excited. About five of our members had done Xarcabard runs before. Leaving 33 people having no clue what to expect. Even their puller. In the 5 other cities we have a great pace. We have our technique's down to a science. And because of that science we have progressed rapidly through the system. End Act V, The Glaicer... LS exit stage left...
Act VI:
Scene I
A snowy filled day in a canyon patroled by bonies... An excited crew waits in anticipation of an hour glass that holds the possibility of seeing the Final Curtain call for The Dynamis Lord. Stories told fills us with dread and anticipation. The rarity of the Relic drop... The difficulty of the pulls. Our headquarters party does a run through of the path that we'll be taking. We afk for a bit before the run.
Scene II
The moment is now near of us our first run. Some heads up are given out in the LS and that our method of entering will have us buffing before we go in since right away we'll be moving to camp. The Trail Markings gets appeased by an hourglass. Our leader Foo starts to hand them out. Anticipation is now high. We're all super excited. Nervousness sets in as tonight's the final show... what'll happen? No one knows. As each member enters, we're greeted by a new song of Dynamis. Shouts of joy and excitement fill the LS chat... As we gear up getting ready to move out I get the tells of good luck... my LS knowing how much pressure I put myself under for pulling for the crew. I keep in mind knowing that a mistake by me could end up losing precious time that could cost us the Win. We get to the first camp... more tells of good luck. Grabbing my orientation of the area I see the first eyes that I get to pull. Run to a spot, I get the thumbs up that the groups are ready for pull. Out shoots the pull macro. First ranged shot flies just over the Eye's head. But close enough to get his attention and pretty pissed off. For the first thing he casts is Firaga III. >< That's going to eat through my shadows and tear through the LS. Better take a detour. Boom... within the first few seconds of running we have a puller down. Mobs come in... I'm a bit weak but I don't wanna stall the run... I get set up for my next pull. As an LS, we got our wake up call. Mobs act totally different here. A lot stronger... a lot harder... We pull some mobs and trudge through. At our second camp, my first pull pops a demon out in a wierd place. His run path doesn't follow the others and he pulls link with the next eye... which in turn links a third. LS wipe. Times ticking. 10 minute warning's given... we know we have to get through these mobs to get to our first 30 minute extension. We realize it will take too much time to get through and decide to run for the next extension just around the corner. But a trap is waiting for us. A misstep by someone aggro's one of the 3 eyes waiting for us on the steps. Before we know it, the LS is completely surrounded by mobs and eyes. People dying left and right. Some mobs are being fought. Some people have aggro... some don't... those that don't know it's a futile death so they hide in waiting. Nothing could have been done so no shame in saving the energy for the next fight. However there were those still fighting for the chance to stay alive. A mob is killed. A hundred coin is dropped. Cheers of joy regardless of the run's poor progress of the night lift the spirits of the LS. We got a treasure. That night ended. We lost a lot of XP... but gained another type of XP. Knowledge.
Act VI Scene III
Saturday morning. A puller discouraged with her performance from the night before. Bound and determined to do a much better job. Know the LS has a new technique... A new method of handling pulls. All the members of the LS are gearing up for a come back tour. As the hour glass is traded... this time it's personal for the puller. Business is good times for the rest... As the hour glass is traded the buffs are being given out. Members are already in Dynamis as the rest of us filter in. A puller runs by her friends and family. Cheers of joy and good luck are given as she passes by. As the last of the LS gathers up with the rest of us... we start to move out to Camp 1 again. As the LS files into camp, the pulls are made. With our new technique... mobs drop flawlessly. Everyone together on the same beat with each mob to be defeated. As the rest of the pulls come in, we dance from Camp 1 to Camp 2. The dread in our puller's stomach grows as she remembers three days before hand and the train that followed. A different story this saturday as a much smaller group of mobs follow. Death still awaits her as the mobs crowd in fast... The raise comes and she's back on her feet. The next THF now waiting to take her place in the pull strategy. Weakness wears as the second last mob of the group is taken out. The cures come and she's ready again. As the last mob is killed the pull shout comes. The next group comes in. This time the mobs are dealt with punctually. However this group bruoght something else with them. Our first Xarcabard AF2 drop. We have one lucky Taru in our ranks. Asanarama... he lots by himself for all the BRD AF2. All of us wish we had is fortune. The cool thing however is the next thing we realize... Asanarama was the first person in TheDynamisShow to get AF. And now he is the first person in the LS to get a Xarcabard drop. All cheer him on. All of us rather confused at what the trait of his AF does. The mob grouping is cleared and our puller sees for the first time her first extension pull. The eyes doing a dance around the stone. With a curious eyebrow lifted, she raises her xbow. This time the bolt finds it's mark as the red rings of her acid bolt does it's magic. Hearing the one stone spawn mobs she runs back to camp. When she gets back to camp she's sees not one eye... but 4. And a slow stone trudging it's way through the mountain snow. Again our new technique proves triumphant and the mobs and stone go down like clock work. TheDynamisShow is awarded it's first Xarcabard extension. Moral and excitement is high. We run to camp 3. This time not aggro'ing the trap awaiting us. Our BLM Corps gets together... this time with a surprise of our own. In a shower of thunder and lightning mobs are dropping like fall leaves. We cheer again as we get our second extension. We feel the steam collecting in our engines as we power ahead. This time we find our camp on a hill. Some mobs await us. With a new charge in her step our puller crests the hill top to pull the next set of mobs. Once again a demon takes a funny trip on the pull and links up with another eye. This time we're greeted with a BST and his surprise pet. (To not spoil the moment... I'll leave his pet a surprise...
) Shock runs through our ranks... but... we're ready for it. In the midst of the battle however... another surprise happens. Our second AF2 drop. This is where my heart lept and sunk at the same time. Assasin's Armlets. LS chat is filled with shocked and surprised smilies and omg's... 
We await the call of who can lot from our attendance based on our glaicer runs. Three names are called. All of us probably sitting there in the same position... heart racing and palms sweating praying that our lots ring true. Anyone knowing my lotting experience knows right away of how crappy they are. Lotting poorly for 10 and a half hours for genaki paper... being the last THF in our starter cities to lot good enough to get the AF... lol... The first lot hits... Sire lots a 5xx... I wince knowing my starter city lots usually happen in the 100-200 range... As I hit cast lot, I see my name take it's place... 864... my heart leaping through my chest as I see my name there. Having lots filtered since my very first dynamis run a year and a half ago... I wait without knowing on whether or not our 3rd THF has lotted. Congrats now being shouted for me in LS as my lot stands in Treasure Pool. I literally start crying and shaking. Tells of congrats come in fast... I reply all the same... Ctrl r "Thank you sooooo much!!! T.T" The replies of "why you crying??" come back and I'm just so happy the tears fell. A tell comes out of no where even before the drop came to me that I wasn't expecting shows up on my screen. (Thank you's much Vang ^^; ) The show must go on... as I'm running around for my next pull... lol the check's happen... everyone waiting to see them be put on. I got two tells saying to sort my items... lol... Dami and Art... For the record I was at 56/60... lol... As the Armlets dropped into my items... I flipped to my EQ screen to don them on... lol LS chat was filled with: PUT THEM ON!!!! WOOOOO!!!! lolol... excitement for all of us... Our hill pulls were not done yet however... I run for the next pull. And this time as the mobs trickle in... we have yet another shocker. This time the mobs brought us another Welcome to Xarcabard present. A brand new Pimp Hat. LS chat this time was filled with OMG and GL RDM!!!! and once again a different group awaited for the names to be called on who had their lotting chance. This time Croge walked away with the lot that won the prize. Congrats from the LS cheered him on as the item dropped into his items. And a new hat was put on... Feather flying high and proud. The LS full of a new found determination in getting the mission accomplished so more joy could be spread around. The fun really started tho as the mobs decided to throw us a different kind of Welcome Home party. The LS met with a few wipes... tho we still got the mission done getting us another time extension. But as we got the extension more wipe. Racing to the next extension we try to end up victorious in our run. Time this run just wasn't on our side.
A great run regardless of not getting the win since once again we set a new mile marker... and our next show at the dreaded Xarcabard will have a new goal. 4 AF2 drops and to get us all our extensions and maybe go visit the over grown Galka. Thank you guys once again for an awesome run and even more awesome times!!!!! Love all of you guys... Once again... sorry for the long post... but so many people like the read... go copy and paste and read it at lunch or while you go to the bathroom or something.
Once again I can't say thank you enough to my LS tho... love you guys!!!

QFT.
Ya we get more AF going for win in Glacier. We have one ramp down we call AF alley where most of our runs some AF dropped.
Hydras supposed better drop rate was not noticeable when we tried them. It did prepare us for Xarcabard with harder fights however and was fun to fight them.
