Roc Star
I’ve spent a lot of time tracking down and hunting for the two birds Simurgh and Roc. They both are very rare sights, and highly sought by high level people from all across Vana’diel. They are said to hold a few very valuable pieces, which make them very popular, but hard to find.
Me and my friends in Offline has therefor spent much time camping him. People have gotten their Trotter Boots and the very shiney~ Dryad Staff. I’ve actually seen three of the staves drop, but I’ve always been outlotted by someone in my linkshell and it’s been depressing me.
Today, after having spent countless hours camping, I finally found Roc. No one had spotted him, so I got really excited. I checked the linkshell but no one was awake. I waited nearly forty minutes before someone got on, and even then we weren’t really ready to take him on. I had come as Paladin, like I’ve done the last few weeks, so I wasn’t in any danger. Hozu, one of the linkshell red mages came to help, but with only two people there wasn’t much we could do. It took almost an hour before Evilelf, our ranger also came and we were ready to take Roc head on.
I pulled Roc by provoking him and ran down the ridge, heading towards where Hozu and Evilelf were eagerly waiting. The fight was slow, but we were draining Roc of his power at a steady pace. He attempted to cast Benediction on himself, but we unleashed our damaging power at him — granted, not very significant damage — but we finally killed.
And there it was, my staff. Finally!
