The journey of rebirth

There is a time when Galkas has to return to the place where he was born. Galkas are immortal but that doesn't mean our journey through life doesn't end at some point. My time in Vana'diel has come to an end, I'll go in my journey of rebirth and I can't say how long I'll be gone, or if some day I'll come back. One thing is for sure I enjoyed every single day, hour and minute I was in this world. A world where I met great friends, friends which made my stay more enjoyable. I make this entry so that if my memory gets wiped clean, somehow I get my hands on this journal, read the writing, look at the pictures and remember what I did and with who I was at the time, because I don't want to forget.

I remember how I wanted to be a dragoon, because like so many people I thought having a wyvern as a pet was cool. I had a lot of fun, I had a lot of free time on my hands too waiting in the dunes getting a nice tan.


I remember doing mission 2-3 with some members of the Radical Dreamers, Houzukimaru, Hyorin, Yukimu, I was impressed by the Shadow dragon at the time.

Getting help from Flotsam on mission 3-3, here is Flotsam fighting the three stooges. The poor taru got knockdown on my account, but still got the job done.


Meeting Hiroishi in north Gustaberg after been banished from San d'Oria, good thing for him because that place is terrible. He started as a Warrior but soon learned the way of the Samurai, his Elvaan ego increased ten fold afterwards.


Doing silly stuff in unexpected places like the time we spent in Korroloka tunnel just killing stuff because we could, I never forgot that day.

Becoming a Paladin to help others in everything I could.

Went to some nice places like the waterfall in Miseraux coast.

And did some cool mission like the last Bastok mission with the group you see here.

Reached the skies with a bunch of MoogleArmy members.

Got attacked by nasty creatures too.


The last thing I did was joining a party as a Beastmaster and have fun with my sheep and reach the level I could wear my last piece of artifact armor.

Just want to say to all the people that knew me.... Thank you. Thank you for been there in good and bad times. Thank you to the MoogleArmy linkshell for letting me be a part of it. And forgive me for my abrupt departure. God speed and god bless, hope to see you soon one day....

Big surprise

The other day I went to the Garlaige Citadel basement and was surprised by what I saw. Serket, a big scorpion was around the area. Some adventurers fought it but I'm just glad I got to see it with my own eyes.

Rampaging beast

I recently learned the axe technique Rampage while fighting bats and beetles in the Garlaige Citadel. Its really cool, I do double the amount of damage than my others axe skills and it will get better as I get stronger!

Paragon of Beastmaster excellence

After a lot of training as a Beastmaster I was ready to endure the Artifact armor quests for Beastmaster. I was sent to Fei'yin and put the souls to rest of all the animals that fought in the crystal war. Jeangallo, Houzukimaru and Bermont helped me on the quest. It turned out the animals weren't too happy and a ghost attacked us. We took it down with no problems. A spirit of Galka Beastmaster talked to me about the how he lost his animal in the war and how sad he was about it. Then I had to look for a beast collar and to give to a monkey walking around in castle Oztroja. For all that I was rewarded with the beast boots.


The beast hands were crafted by the spirit of a crafter from the crystal war era. He told me I was to find a pair of old gauntlets, which I found in the crawlers nest. Then he told me to bring him ancient flames from Castle Zvahl. When I was about to get the flames a bomb attacks us but it was a very easy to defeat. After completing this quest the spirit told me there were other pieces of my beast armor in treasure coffers around the world. A couple of days later I had to go look for coffers to get my body and head pieces. I went to Beadeaux where my body piece was, I found the coffer but the quadav there were not to happy to see me get the treasure coffer there, I woke up in port Windurst but had the Beast surcoat still in my hands.

My next task was to go to the Eldieme Necropolis and use the tamers whistle near one of the tombs there. Roninhiroishi, Kyrek, Squeegie, Nephelim and Sachiel helped me on this quest. I started playing the tamers shistle and the eerie sound it produced send chills through my spine and before I knew and was ready for it a hound appeared with two tiger beasts. I ran out of there to where the others were and exited the necropolis in hope that the two beasts gave up and we only had to fight the hound, but it didn't worked like I was plaining. Good thing it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be and we defeated it with no problems. Then the Galka Beastmaster appeared talking about taking over the world, I figured he was talking gibberish and was because of how much he missed his pet. I played the tamers whistle again and this time the little monkey I gave the collar appeared. This made the Galka stop after seeing his long time friend, master and beast reunited and ready to move on to the afterlife. For all that my reward was the beast trousers. My helm was deep in the Garliage Citadel and it was a very easy to find my coffer there. Now I have all the pieces, the only problem is that I can't use this great armor for now... my mannequin looks good on it though.

The interview

When I was in Jeuno shopping for supplies I met Omael. He is interviewing some members of the MoogleArmy and he told me I was next. So we met at the Neptune's Spire inn in Lower Jeuno to have some rolanberry pie and coffe during the interview. You can go here to read it, hope you enjoy it.

Not alone anymore

Not a lot has passed in this last couple of days, I keep training as a Beastmaster battling goblins around the world with the occasional random monster from the area. I got invited to a group a couple of times and its surprising how many people don't know anything about the Beastmaster, for the most part I go alone having a lot of fun. Something caught my attention, lately more and more Beastmasters are roaming around the areas that I go to. Its cool that they are fellow Beasmasters training, not cool having to compete against them. I better take a break and get some things done for a while, like getting my artifact armor or training as a Whitemage so I can have my abilities up to date. I haven't use Whitemage as my subjob for a while and I have noticed its better for certain camps. It's better if I get those things done now so I don't have to worry about that later.

Barbaroi and some other stuff

I love the Beastmaster job and I've been getting stronger and stronger very fast. One day I was in upper Jeuno and Brutus the chocobo caretaker there told me one of his chocobos died. He told me he wanted to give a proper send off to the chocobo with a guiding bell that could be found at the Delkfutt tower. I had the great idea of going as a Thief but with as little clothing as possible and with some thief tools to open the treasure chest. After what felt like hours looking for the chest I finally found it, I kneel to open it and a trap triggers weakening me. I decide since I can't open the chest again in that state I should take a nap and rapidly felt asleep on the spot. Some strange sounds of what it sounded like a giggling goblin startle me and I snapped out of my sleep only to find a goblin bomb to my side. I didn't had time to react and the next thing I remembered was opening my eyes and getting out of the infirmary. I went back with the intent to get even with the little goblin but didn't found it, I found the treasure chest instead with no traps this time. I gave the bell to Brutus and he rewarded me with the Barbaroi axe, which is a great axe for Beastmaster.
Speaking of axes, Omael needed help fighting the Aquarius crab notorious monster for a very good axe. We took down the monster with only a couple of knockdowns and Omael got his axe. It's such a good axe that I think I'll get it for myself someday.

I tried Salvage too and I think is a fun thing to do with great organization. I hope I can do it again sometime.

Last but not least I helped Houzukimaru with a couple of Zilar missions fights so he can get sky access at last. After that it was back to Beastmaster for me.
