To get the Carbuncle Ruby you need to kill leeches and while I was leveling up my SMN job in the Dunes, I noticed this person was very desperate.

Sadly some Goblins killed me in the Buburimu Peninsula, and these vultures are circling around me  -.-;

After getting enough fame in San' Doria, I went to the Ice Protocrystal to challenge my first Avatar. Of course nothing can be simple and I disconnected during the cut scene. When I logged back on I had to wait 24 hours to fight the Avatar. I was stuck there because it's a high level monster area. So some LS members told me to call a Game Master. The GM gave me some sage like advice "You should seek the help of a higher level player to assist you in returning to civilization." So I logged off for the day and tried again tomorrow.

These Avatar Battles were very tough, I had to spend 8,000 gil on each fight. Lots of money for me. Also I had to time everything just right in order to use 3 Searing Lights. My 2 hour ability is super strong.

I was able to get Shiva and I was so happy!

Later that day I was able to get the powerful fire Avatar Ifrit, and I got a New Time Record when I beat him!

I had to head back to Windy so I could make money here are some pics of Taru taru.

So cute. Too bad I couldn't fight any avatars in Windurst I have to travel all around the world to fight them.

Members in the Linkshell were talking about doing Mission 9 which would get you Rank 4. Now my level 30 WHM was still a pretty low level to actually do it, but they said that they had extra room in the party. So I tagged along with them. We had to go through the hughe Delkfutt's Tower a.k.a. The Stairmaster it had like 10 floor.

We had to fight giant Gigas. A higher level helped us get the key we needed so we took an elevator to where we had to go. This giant decided to follow me down. Thankfully the guys took care of him for me. But it turns out that if we went down a little further we could have zoned.

Even more stairs -.-

At this point I was desperate for money so I headed out to the Ghelshba Outpost to hunt monsters. By the way "Don't look down."

I was able to make about 20k here which was okay for what I had to do. These things are kinda cute though.
