My AF2 Pants were in the Cloister of Frost in Fei'Yin. Since we didn't have enough people to help me we joined an Alliance of people going to Fei'Yin for WHM AF3.

Here are some pictures of me just staying out of everyone's way.

They defeated the monster and then people came to help me with my AF2 Battle. We had a full PT to help now.

Oh crap! I hate it when monsters jump out of walls to attack me. Thankfully the PT took care of it.

An evil Tarutaru is stealing the energy of the Avatars!

Here is the PT basically unleasing hell on the Dryad monsters. I did Diamond Dust, SAM did his two hour and did so many Penta Thrust attacks.

Next stop Sea Serpent Grotto. I had to get a coffer key from these Sahagin (the forgotten Beastmen) and then find a coffer chest to get my key item "Old Guantlets."

Over the course of two nights, two PTs, and five hours I got the coffer key.

We ended up finding the coffer chest pretty easily, now to get the Gloves upgraded.

I had to fight a NM at the evil Castle Zvahl Bailey a.k.a. Hellish Linking Demon Nightmare Castle.

I d/c right at the start but thankfully I logged on in time for the fight.

sat040809132912a.jpg

Very scary.

Here is where some JP players trained a few Demons thankfully they were able to kill the demons that linked.

We were able to kill the NM without it exploding, and I got my AF Gloves!

Thanks to some jerks not letting me join Coffer PTs and such, I needed to enlist the help of a level 75 BST for my last two coffer keys. Lilyanne and her other BST friend Farplaner. With a little Reward offered she decided to help.

One of Lilyanne's friends opened the 3 Mages Door to allow access to the Toraimari Canal, the underground sewer type thing under Windurst.

My luck strikes again. The large mass of monsters killed me and Far. Lilyanne was able to run to the Windy zone. She charmed a Scorpion, distracted the undead, and then Raised us.

sat040820164426a.jpg

I waited at the zone while they killed the monsters, the coffer key dropped very quickly.

No time to celebrate off to the next location the Temple of Uggalepih a place with lots of high level Tonberry monsters.

sat040820174312a.jpg

Inside the old Temple.

sat040820181403a.jpg

Lilyanne and Far charmed some Bees to kill some of the Tonberry for the key.

sat040820182604a.jpg

A dead Tonberry. I guess Xylia is right they are kinda cute :3

sat040820191229a.jpg

I key dropped within an hour and that's when Lilyanne and Far had to leave. I logged off for the night and found a good place to camp the coffer chest because I was too weak to open the doors and get aggro from a Toberry guarding the coffer. Too dangerous to drop Invisible in this place so I camped at a safe spot.

sat040821122926a.jpg

/cheer I got my AF Body Evoker's Doublet! After spending about 3 hours camping the coffer a high level JP SMN and his PT told me where the coffer was. I guess he had bad memories from his Temple Coffer Chest. So where ever you are thanks! (I was too nervous to take any pictures my hands were even shaking, lol)

sat040821141845a.jpg

Back to the canal some people came along and opened the 3 Mage Door so I started my search for the chest.

sat040821150021a.jpg

After 4 hours of searching I finally found the chest (thankfully no one looks for this chest it was just me there).

My luck striked again this level 70 NM was blocking my way. I made sure Sneak was fresh, summoned Carbuncle, and ran for it. I opened the chest, got the Boots, Sneak wore off, Carbuncle played defense and I warped out with a Scroll. I was so surprised that I actually lived, maybe my luck is changing? Anyway after running around the sewer I needed new shoes, and I had to get them to match my new shirt anyhow. And about the picture I was so nervous I forgot to take the picture so this is just one I found on the internet.

sat040822113957a.jpg

Only one AF piece left. The AF Head Armor Evoker's Horn. It's a level 60 item that I need an Alliance to beat some NM in the Cloister of Storms and the Cloister of Gales. Not even I know how this will turn out. All I know is that the Evil Tarutaru can't be allowed to continue his twisted plan. Hopefully there will be a Part Two, I must stop the Taru!
