Hornie has started hunting down Lamie No.9 for the ever elusive Evoker’s Gages. There was admittedly little experience with this mofo between us all, which showed when her avatars’ Tidal Wave reared it’s head, or when Lamie caught a Summoner or tow in her sexy (lol) Charm. Yet we have still been able to pull out a victory with every meeting. Thanks, Hornie, for knocking down the Undead Swarm a couple of notches!

Ah, but the Gages still elude us! Welcome to “The List” Lamie No.9! We can tell we’ll be getting Hornie all over your face for quite a while.

It seemed a little rocky when we were gathering together. Many of the Hornie members canceled their RSVP to this event (it was Easter weekend after all….we did not factor that in in our planning). But those of us that were there were determined. And with the help of some of the Hornie Peeps, we were able to snag in a PLD – a key to our success without a doubt. We also had a RDM and a WHM, and of course our resident Treasure Hunter Monkey. All other attendees were SMN.

I hate to say that we overestimated this mob but it surely felt that way. We were using a different strategy than most linkshells would have the luxury to do. But the concept was the same. PLD holds him down, everyone else rape the mob. And oh, was it a rape fest! Each wave of bloodpacts would shave off 15-25% of the mobs HP. And without any extra melee going on, we never saw more than a handful of that nasty AOE that everyone fears. We were even able to summon + assault from outside of the AOE range. I believe that as long as there is a PLD (or other proper meatshield) to hold Vulpangue down, a small amount of Summoners and a healer for the PLD can take Vulpangue without any issues.

Out of 5 pops, 2 Karura Hachigane’s dropped, and maybe 3-4 Sylphid Epee’s.

I believe we’ll be trying again next week.

Me so Hornie!

Summoners young & old gathered together for the first Hornie event in a long time. Mind you, it wasn’t anything as epic as an 18 hour marathon with Pandemonium Warden, it was still fun to get together and show these avatars who runs these cloisters! I guess this marked the official start of the rolling of the ball (is that English?).

We ran around Vana’diel and raped every avatar (minus Fenrir, which we did the next night). Aside from the loooooooooooong ass walks for those of us unable to mini-warp, and our token THF Homicidal eating a few Astral Flows (thanks for the 1k sucka!) it was obvious that we hadn’t lost our Hornie-fied touch and we gave them “Prime” avatars the business! Again, downing avatars is no miraculous feat these days, but it was fun.

Today also marks the announcement from SE of some new updates to the Summoner job. While I’m not truly impressed at this moment, I’ll save my judgement for when the actual update comes about (upgrades to the Merit BP’s sounds interesting…but as I always say… ‘you never know with SE’).

Stay Hornie!

Looks like we’re gonna give it another go! After all, what else have we got better to do than to run around Vana’diel with 20 Carbuncles in tow?

We’re looking for Cerberus Summoners to join Hornie, that’ll be interested in doing some rare & downright crazy events, that either involve SMN related missions/gear/items, or would just be fun to do as a band of Summoners. Nothing is scheduled right now, so there’s no “line” to jump in to yet. Just looking to get the ball rolling since, as you know, hardcore SMN’s are hard to come by.

No strict requirements but here’s a loose outline:

» 70 – 75SMN in level is preferred for the planned events, and lower level SMN’s are more than welcome to join if you need guidance, help, or just wanna Get Hornie now in preparation for when you do get near “endgame”.

» You need not be “SMN only” and there will surely be instances where we’d want a career SMN to play another job. But you should at least have the desire to be SMN for most events (if we don’t roll as a Summoner force, what’s the point? lol)

» Though we do plan to do a few events that would normally fall into “HNM” category, we do not consider Hornie to be an HNMLS. Nor do we require exclusivity, so you’re free to be a member of another shell that is not a ‘conflict of interest.’

If you’re on Cerb, and you’re interested, talk to Aeonis for a pearl.
