Eyeballs. And more eyeballs. « Diary of Amarithia

Today was such a long and boring day. Adventuring usually comes off as flashy, exciting, romantic. There is nothing, I mean nothing, romantic or exciting about standing around in a boiling volcano fours hours and hours fighting disgusting eyeball … things.

It was Klo’s idea. Something about a specific quality eyeball that’s needed to lure another … eyeball? Something. I don’t know. All I know is that eyeballs are gross and volcanoes are hot.

We spent I believe five hours there, through the course there was me, Gafgarion, Klo, Alviine and Zjin. Joined by Fishy, Nanner, Keir and Ceriss at different points to help out.

I was the last to get the eyeball thing, and by the end of it I was ready to ask why in Ifrit’s I wanted one to begin with. As I disgustedly tucked it away in my bags Garion warned me to keep it wrapped tight because they can divide at will and before I knew it’d have a hectaeye in my mogsafe. That’s terrifying! I want it out of my moghouse now. But they actually want to go find more in various places. I’m wondering if maybe this wasn’t a grand practical joke on me by Garion and Klo.

One down, four to go. Ew!

For me, the SSG held both the easiest and the most frustrating eyes. The lower tier mobs coughed up eyeballs at a decent rate, while the ones up top were stingy bastards. Speaking of, if I am around when you need to go through the door, I have a Sahagin key to get you through if no one wants to frolic in the Grotto doing the initial or repeat quest.

Will certainly keep that in mind ^^

The brutal thing was that I decided to go last, to give myself the right the bale if I got so bored I couldn’t take it anymore. And of course, the last one took longest.

Then, after like an hour and a half my eye dropped. And the very next mob we killed? An extra eye.

The FFXI gods are cruel in deed ; ;
