The Joy of Joyeuse

During my recent ZNM exploits with Mogwae and his linkshell (I never bothered to /check anyone to see what it’s called), I was able to get the time of death of Charybdis, one of the game’s more pursued NMs. While it’s not as grand a monster as Fafnir or King Vinegaroon, it does drop the Joyeuse 100% of the time. The sword itself looks a little fruity, but it attacks twice 45% of the time without double attack. So for a warrior, there aren’t many swords that could be better. For me, it’s probably the best sword I could ever get. Ridill might be better, but I’ll never get that. Ever. Anyway, Mogwae, myself and a few of Mogwae’s ls buddies all headed down into the Sea Serpent Grotto to find the flying octopi and take his sword. After killing a few Devil Mantas, the big guy showed up. I myself did very little fighting, which was gay. The six or seven other people there to help killed Charybdis with little trouble, though. I don’t think any of them came close to dying the whole fight. So I got my new sword, and they got Charybdis’s time of death, allowing them to come back 3 more times (I think) and get swords for the people who didn’t yet have one. Here are a couple pics of me with my new sword.
