Amusing Items/Pointless keepsakes

[JpegAsura]

Key Ring Belt for lv20 THF dispenses skeleton key, steal+1 and dex+1, quested not crafted... to an end-game player it is virtually useless and uses an inventory slot for dispensing a key every 30 min when a stack of keys dispenses instantly with inv-1. And the quest for it is kinda funny but stupid.

Yesterday, I was sent an apple pie by a character named Ronaldmcdonald. I still have it in my dbox.

I just love the story on it. #1 Galka item that doesn't require bondage.

I stumbled across a friend, his gf and their dead party in Sacrarium late one night, and got them back on their feet.

The following day he sent me a signed pair of Khimaira Gamashes. Awesome. ^^

Galka tails grow back? Fucking Awesome

I carry around the Sprout Beret I got from the gold world pass. I wear it whenever I don't have a headpiece (random teleporting/warping/retracing without gear on). I used to wear it in town all the time, but I got lazy. It was funny to put on in the jungles and people would hit their pull macro while targetting me for jokes, since I'm a taru and the perfect size for mandies... or maybe they really did try to pull me instead of a mandy...

Here's what I carry in my Bazaar..

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...PenBazaar1.jpg

The cooking stuff is pretty much stuff I get off my 2 cooking friends as they progressed.. I still have to add the 2 sole Sushi.. Lilac Crosage is a one on server only thing from a friend/off and on girlfriend, Earth Crystal from my first Genbu, Cave Cherax as a running gag between me and a fishing friend.. ["You don't want me, All I ever fish up are crabs!"] Sparkling stone cause I like shiny things, Magellan Card signed by a friend..

Not included in bazaar [only cause if I included everything I'd never have any space ; ;] is 13 Wizard Cookies, gotten on the day I met one of my closest FF friends, an unsigned, HQ level 7 Cape I got off a member of my first LS when I was a newbie, A bottled Pixie [sadly can't Bazaar that...] which is a joke between me and my on again off again girlfriend, who kept telling me to set it free... and like 3 stacks of Karakul Wool or whatever the Caedarva Mire sheeps dropped from when a friend and I used to farm them before she quit a year ago. I also still have a bunch of lowbie gear for some jobs said friend lent me and said they wanted back before they quit. I refuse to sell it, on the grounds that should they ever decide to return, I'll show them I kept my word all this time.

Anyways, sorry for the wall of textness. XD

I could NEVER carry that many stuff. I always have full BRD gear with me, and full NIN/DRK gear for quick oshitsomethingpopped situations. Not to mention 2-3 cudgels food tools. I am always @ 68ish/70. .

[LarienTiwele]

lol thats part of the reason I don't carry more. I somehow manage to hold gear for 75 WHM, 75 DRG, 75 SAM, and 75 SMN, where max change time is 30 sec, when I can't find one thing due to fresh sort lol and still I only end up at between 47-52 items at once in general, more or less depending which of the jobs I have to have full geared... I think for SMN full geared I cap at 67-69/70 myself.. but I'm lucky in that my LS has me as the only DRG currently, so I'm usually at the low point [47-52] even though I don't get how it has so little gear on it x_x;

[Asura_Zilla]

The first pair of black cuisses my DRK ever wore were a gift from a friend to me. I've had them ever since, and I'm never selling them (even if I get Onyx/Ares). I have a signed Sniper's Ring from an old friend, and despite our relationship went kinda sour, I still haven't replaced it. My Amemet Mantle +1 is signed, and was handed down to me by a friend that quit, and he had gotten it from the original crafter when they themselves quit. Then there's my collection (that I keep on my mule, unfortunately, as I have no space):

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b.../keepsakes.png

Backstory on them:

The top two (Gateau aux Fraises and Buche au Chocolat) were given to me by the same person (crafted by themselves). The gateau was during Christmas, and the Buche was the day she quit.

Silver Ring was a gift (signed) from a friend when he quit (the same guy that gave me Amemet +1).

Red roses I got on Valentine's Day from 2 close friends (one gave me a stack, the other gave me one [I think I bought the other 3 or something]). Rain Lily was given to me by a close friend about 4-5 months ago (they called me down to Tahrongi and gave me it).

The Papillions and Angelwings were a gift from a friend. She used to say whenever she used one it would cheer her up, and always told me to use one when I was feeling down, as it would cheer me up too ^^.

I keep that Clear Drop because it was the first ever drop I ever got from doing a SE event (I'm not really that much into events, so that's why it was my first).

Both Truelove Chocolates, the Heart Chocolate and the Love Chocolate were Valentine's Day gifts. The Love Chocolate is signed, and is from a friend that moved to Carbuncle. The Heart Chocolate was from a friend who moved to Leviathan a few months after I did. One of the Truelove Chocolates was given to me by a close friend (our relationship went sour, though), and the other was given to me by my closest ingame friend (the only other member of my lone Linkshell, with whom I do just about everything - from BC/KC/IS/E-NMs, to Limbus, to farming the sky pops for my Haidate, currently farming sky pops for our ZMitts).

Rice cakes are self-explanatory. I just have a thing for those (got them from events, still missing Hume - forget about Galka though!).

Edit: Don't mind the Empress Band, lol.

[Siralin]

Recently finished the Windy rank missions and for this to drop from the last BC. It's not crafted, but it's fairly rare and I think it's pretty neat. Only useless item I carry around.

[Guitarman]

Good friend of mine when i started this game; both of us got to 75 around the same time signed me an ice shield. He quit years ago but i still have it. None of my jobs can use it; but i refuse to sell it.

[Dawezy]

Synthed up all them Pizzas that were released a few updates ago, signed, etc.

Pepperoni
Margherita
Anchovy

Agaricus farming sucks btw, heh. >_</

[Pyree]

I still had the key item Drawing of a Galka on my character from an event in like 2004 or 2005. I don't think it's even possible to get rid of that thing anymore, but it's always nice to have available for the auto-translator.

[fren.]

When I first started playing I had the idea of making 1 mule, sending the gil from the coupon and the initial 10 gil to my main, delete, remake, rinse and repeat...

Clearly looking back on it 40 gil every, what? 10 minutes (Cutscene) wasnt worth it.

Then I moved onto Bubbly Burnie and doing that quest.. yea no so much. I do have a steam clock still so thats my contribution to this thread!

Then I did the airship passenger quest back and forth.. good times, was so naive

Bubbly Bernie was my main source of income. 6K/hr was pretty epic. I couldn't wait to get Thf to 25 just for Flee to make the time shorter. I eventually did two years later and moved onto whoring the Aspir quest.

240K/HR with your main job being a level 40 Blm? yea, nothing was gonna beat that shit..still hasn't. Too bad Bastok sucked cock and was always third so I couldn't get cornettes.

[Teakwood]

I've got a Halcyon Rod that my best friend / roommate signed for me before he quit. That's about it, though, I constantly carry BLM and BRD gear around in main inventory so I can't hold a lot of stuff.

I have some random stuff in Storage, but I can't get ingame to check right now, mostly stuff that friends cooked for me.

[Redshift]

After the first time I quit and came back (everyone does), my friend Blackjakal gave me a Sacred Sword and I still it have to this day.

[vegetaa]

I started playing in early 2005 as a MNK, and it took me a couple weeks to realize that my gear was made of horrible choices for a MNK. So I decided to farm my ass off and buy a complete HQ Soil gear set (this, this, this, this, and this). It was ~150k for the whole set. I still have the whole set on a Mannequin in my MH, and a few old friends still mention this set once in a while (back then white borders in Valkurm wasn't usual at all, on non-jp characters).

I also keep a Triton ring (that useless t0 HQ orichalcum ring) a friend gave me back then.

[Jak]

I have two Morion Earring NQs signed by two incredibly good friends (Icon and Fugee from Fairy) before they quit. I still use one or the other on my Blm75, even though I know it's gimp. (._.) It's just habitual now..

[Brill Weave]

I only have two items that I won't get rid of. A Red Terrapin and a signed Goblin Mushpot from my friend Poochie. She left Cait Sith due to an extreme(almost pyschotic) level of stalking by another player(fuck you Zifnab) and she gave me these before she left with her fiancee to go to another server. Still miss those guys.
