Hello everyone, long time no post. As you have guessed, I've had to leave the Vanadiel world for an indefinite period. With the change of jobs and personal ordeals have kept me focused on other things. I've read the posts and enjoyed reading about everyone's progress!

I've been playing less time consuming games, that was until I played GTA: San Andreas and Halo 2. Halo has been my recent addiction and have run into some of my old Xbox live friends. I'd definitely like to play with any of you guys who have picked it up.

Anyways, hope everything is going well. I may not be around, but I'm always around.

Let me start by saying...I've seen weather/elements change regularly while playing this game, but the game knows when you're looking for the changes and gives you nothing but blue skies. I started the summoner quest after getting help from a lvl45thf, who offered to help me get Carbuncle's Ruby after seeing me fight leeches in Burb. Pennisula. I appreciated the help and with her sneak attack and me casting regen on her, we were plowing thru leeches faster than they could spawn. I've been fighting leeches for about a month during downtime trying for this ruby....it took about 45mins with her in my party to get the drop. Lesson being...thfs can make all the difference in the world. hehe
