The Outcast Warrior
Fighting my way to 75 with a Great Sword was painstaking yet rewarding... in a way. I recieved my first Great Sword from my sweetheart, Vivos, at level 13 and haven't put the weapon down since. I was looked down on by many, admired by a few. Early in the game, I was a soloer. I soloed from 8 to 20, and it took a long time. Past that I only partied with my boyfriend.

From 13 to 73 I did not have much of a weaponskill. I used Sneak Attack Hard Slash whenever I got enough TP. The damage was generally weak(around 300-500 level 50+), although I did not get any complaints from party members until level 60+, when I could be using Rampage. I have gotten Vivos and myself booted from parties because of my play style. More often, party members have left or force-D/Ced themselves.

I remember being told that I wouldn't defeat Maat without an Axe or Great Axe. I fought him with a Zweihander and had to rely on Hard Slash, not Raging Rush as many other Warriors could, which made their fights so much quicker and easier. Maat got to use his 2 hour and hit me with Howling Fist while it was active... I came out of the fight with less than 200 HP.

Ground Strike was my first really damaging weaponskill. Getting all the weaponskill points for the quest took a long time, but it was worth it. With my Martial Sword, I can easily pull off 900+ damage each time I use it with Sneak Attack. With Warrior's Charge, I can break 2k damage. Still, I am looked down upon and thought to be stupid just because I play different than other Warriors. There is no way I could've made it to 75 without the help and support Vivos gave me, not to mention all of our parties. To be honest, he is the best Paladin (playing-wise) I have seen.

I do not have the most elite equipment, but here's the list.


 * Main Weapon: Martial Sword

Once I get more gil I am going to upgrade; get some Flame Rings, an Assault Earring maybe, a Cerberus Mantle (heh I can dream)... my gil is going toward my lower-leveled jobs at the moment.

First End-Game Linkshell
I used to be a Notorious Monster hunter. My HNM linkshell, Rush, broke because of thieves and traitors. Names will not be called out here, but I will tell a little of what went on.

The first real fracture in the shell occured when one of our members bought Strider Boots at a Linkshell discount, then abandoned and camped Simurgh against us. He had all the NM ToDs and gave them to his new Linkshell. Anger and bewilderment struck Rush.

A Speed Belt we were going to sell was stolen somehow. It had to have been one of our two LS admins, but I am still not exactly sure who did. However, the leader I didn't expect to be the thief disappeared without a trace one day... it is thought he made a new account so no one knows it is him while he reaps the rewards of the stolen item.

In Gustav Tunnel, our members were in for a surprise when one of their leaders was camping Bune against them.

In all the confusion and drama, many of our members quit the shell. There was a split between our members, some going with a former Rush leader, others in their own new Linkshells. We saw each other at the Notorious Monsters we had camped together as friends under Rush, only this time, we were against each other. Such a strong Linkshell that had just started, and it was broken by pointless greed.

Nowadays I make most of my money farming basic Auction House items, until maybe I can find a new HNM Linkshell...
