Only did a few things last night (no, wait, its tomorrow so it was the night before the last one), as I had to work overtime for three hours /cry.
again. That's three in a row. /die.
Anyway. FFXI.
Got home and geared up on BLM and went trekking through the Eldieme Necropolis. I had three hours until I had to gather for Salvage, so I was determined to get it no matter if I had to sit there for three hours. So I went down there and checked all the surface ones that didn't need to be accessed by opening any doors. No cigar. ; ;
Bluvion was nice enough to be my door man and switch the lever for me to get through the doors to the other spawn points. No cigar ; ;
Even dropped down underground and checked there. No cigar ; ;
We outpost warped to Beaudecine glacier (well I did, Blue went to Xarcabard somehow instead and had no map so I had to run over and pick him up) and walked all the way to Batallia downs from there, dropped down the cave, and...
NO CIGAR!! ; ;
/sigh
Then Sidsith in the LS goes "what coffer are you looking for?" (cue growly noises as i had just been talking to the LS about how ive been hunting this coffer for months and every effing time I come down here its not here.) Apparently he has just seen it and is sitting on top of it as we speak.
At the first place I looked.
Cue escape and frantic running to the other side of Batallia Downs and slip sliding down into Eldieme Necropolis on my slow lanky Elvaan legs, barrelrolling into the room with the coffer. (with Sneak up, of course.)
win!
/em puts on her not so smexy black mage trousers.
Stylish. -.-
Oh well, the stats are smexy, thats all I care about. Really. >.>
After that, I had about an hour til Salvage was due to start, so Blue and I helped Sid and Chanel farm her LB1 papyrus (for her other Character Ecstazie) She had this crazy plan to log Nel when it dropped and relog to Ecs and join party and lot on the item. Well, after an hour, it dropped, so she quickly logged (she had to go pick up her daughter so had to be superfast) and we waited for her to relog with baited breath. I guess something came up, cause she disappeared. After that I ran off to do Salvage, did 2 Ilrusi assaults with Hidezou and Farris, then zipped off. Went to Silver Sea Remnants and Urora got LV15 feet for THF, but they all wiped near the start, so with me being the only person alive, with no magic yet, I got to be the suicide decoy to drag the mobs off their dead bodies so they could reraise. Let's just say that I don't run very fast or take much damage before I implode. I didnt get very far.
But we all managed to get back up and going, but ran out of time to fight the boss. So rather than waste items and exp, we mucked around a bit talking about, well, i dont know. I dont understand japanese. I was dozing off, so when we got back to Alzadael Undersea Ruins, Ingram asked me to go to Assaults, but I was too tired, had to work 9am yesterday, so went to sleep in the ruins (also known as falling asleep on the couch. again.)
Last night, I logged in and took a bunch of my LS to get runic portals they were missing, it was me, Blue, Cerebralpaulz, Noodle, Zihark, Braidertom. We went to Mamool Ja Savagelands, Nyzul Isle, Ilrusi Atol and Periqia. Fun stuff. I was exhausted by the end of the run, I must have needed the sleep cause I fell asleep right after we got back, was going to exp on blm with Blue, but it didnt happen. Sorry honey!
And now I'm at work, in the last half an hour before my ONE WEEK HOLIDAY!!!!1111eleventyone111oneoneone
whee.
I plan to sleep, play ffxi. Sleep, um.... go to the gym ? clean the house?
ok time to finish some reports see ya kittens <3

My friend Faulsey has a very cool FFXI Blog >>> Go check it out at :

That is all.

That is all.
Extended Blog Vacation Catch Up
I've been off work sick for almost a week, and haven't really been in the mood to write anything, so I guess I have a lot to catch up, but it probably won't be too detailed, Four to five days worth of being home sick = lots of FFXI play time = too much to write before my hands fall off.
Since my last entry, we went to Dynamis on Saturday, nothing too exciting dropped though (Still no WHM AF2 body!! I swear, its a myth *shakes fist at SE*) This was on Saturday afternoon after my last entry~ It's now Wednesday, so forgive me for not remembering finer details.
We did (yet) another Dune Boots NM run, and it took three hours for the little bastard to spawn, our longest camp session yet, poor Bluvion he gets the short end of the stick every time ; ;
But!!! We kirred it good. We had a few people switch in and out as we were there a while, but we ended up with enough to kill it so Congratulations Bluv! We are going for Sonnia's boots on Sunday, so hopefully it doesn't take that long. Can you tell I hate camping NMs?? haha.
The things I do for my LS lol.
Hmm... what else did we do ? I levelled Paladin with Bluv's white mage for a bit, got to LV20 and he LV19, might be going to level that a bit tonight if no one needs anything.
Umm.... Oh yeah! We did a bunch of Promyvion runs (I think I'm the only person that actually likes them). I took the LS through Promyvion Mea two times and did Promyvion Dem once. We did Mea twice because a couple of them missed the first run, so we did Mea one night, then did Mea and Dem the next night. We kirred it good. We did the ENM too, we raped Mea, no supercool item though, but a tasty 3000exp was nice. We lost the Dem ENM @1%HP we were a bit sad, but it wasn't really important, we tend to use them as practise runs for the mission, especially for those that have not done it before. It's a nice warm up, and if we win, bonus exp and possible prize. I did it once and got a Timorous Vision, which I think ended up as a Wind Earring =900k, which was nice. Congratulations Shaunmc and Ruska {Lufaise Meadows} {All right!} Planning the last Promyvion Holla for Thursday evening (my time) so hopefully we do as well as we did last time.
Hmm what else did we do ? Forgive me, I've been ill, the days blur together a bit when you fall asleep in the middle of the day, you tend to lose track of what day it is and what you've done.
Oh that's right~ non LS stuff I did on Saturday night, I went to Sky with Ingram's LS, we fought Byakko the tiger and Genbu the turtle. Byakko dropped Aquarian abjuration for the Zenith crown, which I already have (Urora got it woo!) and Genbu dropped his shield. I want it, but I wanted the hands Abj. more, so I chose the hands. /cry. Oh well, next time.
Oooh and the LS did Garrison on Sunday night too, it was so much fun. We did four runs in. West Ronfaure LV20 cap and got 2 Tunics, 3 Hands, 2 Boots and 2 Helms. We did it firstly as a test run, we decided to see if it was at all profitable and try to sell the Garrison gear and split the earnings. So far about half of it has sold, but because we have 10-15 people each run, it only works out to be about 15-25k each per run. Although that's not at all bad for a free to enter event (just have to farm the key item~drops very easily) which is a ton of fun to do anyway, even if theres no reward.
(zomg I nearly died just now, my stupidly long acrylic nails stumbled over the keyboard and hit the back button the browser, after going forward my entire post disappeared~~ *heart stops for a moment until I realise blogger autosaves drafts*) Phew.
So I have til next Sunday to try and move the rest of the gear, it doesn't sell as fast as I would hope, and I'm worried I will flood the market and it will be worthless... We'll see. If pooling it doesn't work, I can set up a lot system where everyone can lot on the gear and obtain a piece each if wanted. Still have to work out what we will do. So far we decided to let Mannequin parts free lot to those that are doing the quest. Thanks to Braidertom for helping me with working out the best way to do it, and thank you to Ataka for suggesting we try it! Lots of fun to be had.
Before Dynamis last night, Draako mentioned she was going to take Mjgone to do 3-3 Promathia mission (you know, the one where you have to fight the thing, and run up the mountain?). I have fought the NM but didn't have time to run the jewel up the mountain so I was going to do it later. If I had known better, I would have just set my hard drive on fire and saved myself the stress. I hate SE so much after that. So much. I just wanted to jump off the mountain to my bloody death below. We didn't have a map of Attowa Chasm, but we found the NM easy enough, we kirred it in about 30seconds, then had to grab the jewel and run up the mountain to the top in under 1hour.
An hour seems like a long time, right?
Wrong.
It took so long to find the part where we can actually get on the path up the mountain, we wasted a lot of time. The map is useless anyway, as there's smoke barriers all over the place. So. We get on the path. It's really tricky, you have to climb up and fall down certain places to get over obstacles and get to the top, but if you fall to the ground you have to start over again. So we got about half way up, we were a bit lost, but trying to work it out, when ZOMG DISCONNECTED. So that meant I lost my jewel when i logged back in. Back to the start. Get the jewel. Kick the computer. Run back around the mountain to the path entrance. And we couldn't find the way up we wasted like 30mins before the beautiful Chanel came out to give us a hand. I love you Nel!! <3>
Went to Dynamis Jeuno last night after slitting my virtual writs over the 3-3 mission and swearing at Promathia, Shaunmc came along even though he had to work so early, but Congrats! Dynamis Beaudecine here you come~ We had RNGx2 SAM NIN MNK and a 100 drop on the run, Mj missed out on MNK gloves as Yoyosendak was in front of him in the queue, but I believe he is up for it next. Fingers crossed that we actually go back to Jeuno at some point soon. I still need my stupid clown pants!! 6months Ive been waiting for them to drop... (haha yeah very funny, I know what youre thinking when I say that) But seriously SE, you suck.
After Dynamis last night we went to Einherjar, we were better prepared this time and came so close, the NM was @5-10%HP and we ran out of time. The thing that was annoying was they pulled before everyone got inside, so Mjgone and Darkscythe got locked out (MNK and RNG fyi) so we missed out on their DD skills. I still reckon we would have won if they had gotten inside. Its hard though, we all have to rush in or we waste time to fight it. Its only 30min after all.
I'm sure we will win next time, we had more people too, i think about 30 went in this time as opposed to last time we had 22.
Anyway, shortly therafter I fell asleep and decided I was feeling better so I went to work. Turns out I still feel like crap but hey, got to pay my rent some how. :\
Thanks for reading, tonight I hope to fiddle around and add in some pictures to make my ramblings more interesting. I have a bunch of Screen shots that I want to add into past posts. I have to clear my folder, I cant take any more until I do, I think i maxed out my space for screenies.
Keep posted for further photo edits and further updates.
Love you all <3

Of Artifacts and Black Mages
Hola!
We got a bit done last night, headed out to do Noodle's DRG Artifact helm NM in The Temple of Uggalepih (/cry) and totally raped it. We had like 8 people though so it's understandable. Congrats Noodle on your smexy new helm :P
Next was Ruska's SMN AF weapon fight I think, at the Cloister of Tremors. I have only been there once before, and got the party lost as Draako and Braidertom (the two that know the way) had to log for work and bed. So we got lost and ended up back in the Altepa Desert. So Enishi logged on and I conned him into coming to give directions. There was a mix up when we got there though, Enishi and Macixc entered the Titan Prime fight instead, so had to wait for them to finish that, I think they were doing well, until they died... Rested up and buffed up and went in and kirred the AF NM then the guys + Ruska went in and kirred Titan. I dont have my fork still so I sat outside with Mjgone and Noodle.
Then Eni and I went to duo BLM, our normal spot in Aydeewa Subteranne was taken so we went to Bibiki Bay to rape the BST Goblin's pet rabbit. It was a lot of fun, I got my LV60 and I was getting really tired and dozed off a few times but Eni managed well on his own. I was just saying I should get to bed when I'm pretty sure i fell asleep on the couch in front of my laptop, cause I woke up this morning and I was still there, not in the party, but still there. And then I saw Eni pull the rabbit :O He was still there!! He told me he had to log out cause of aggro but that he let me leech his exp for a while : I was 7k into lv lol. He had a nap and started soloing again, he got 61. He disconnected a few times and Bluvion logged on!!
Dune Boots Madness!! go go go !!
So I warped and gathered a group to go get his boots. We got there and it was up!! We snuck into the next room and pulled him and engaged. We had Me/Ataka/WHM, Macixc/Braidertom/Rikoro/Osodabear/RDM, Bluvion/MNK, Xaq/PLD, Annes/NIN.
I thought it would be enough to kill it. Slowly, maybe, but still win. I had to go to work so I left my char there for needles buffer, and I got a text a while later to say they lost from a MPK ; ;
And then a text to say they got it down to 1% and wiped ; ;
/em fails at life.
I'm sorry Bluv; ; Ill help you get it this weekend, when I get home I have Dynamis-Beaudecine, and then Einherjar, and then I'm free til about midnight. We'll do it!!! Poor unlucky Bluv.. This was his first time doing the fight with TRS, but has had problems with it before I think he's 0/4 on it ; ; And it's a 100% drop!!!
I feel so useless.
Stupid Cactuar Ballerina -.-

Dune Boot Extravaganza!!! (and undeadly death)
Okay, it wasn't that fantabulous but I was pretty rapped. This week TRS got both Mjgone and Shaunmc their Dune Boots, we're planning two more runs for Bluvion and Sonnia (who strangely, doesn't have them yet..). We also tried camping Diamond Darg or what ever that beetle's name is, but no cigar for Braidertom. While in the beautiful Quicksand caves we tried helping Ataka with the Shaman's cloak NM Centurio X-I. He can be duo'd so we went to merit when Hoshimoto (newly joined the LS that night) offered to help her camp it. I do believe they were unsuccessful due to the ten other people camping it also :(
I merited in KRT in my first real bones party last night.
I'm never going down there ever again.
Everyone talks about how zomgawesomeexp!!1111oneoneone it is for monks, and thats fair enough, I'm sure the monk's had it really easy and had a blast.
This poor white mage needs a bit of therapy though :(
The party was me: WHM Shokora: BRD Mjgone: MNK Shaunmc: MNK and two pick up monks.
Shaun got stuck in Windurst during the Whitegate maintenance so had to wait for that to finish so he could warp and pick up a tele. When he finally got there the Japanese MNK {Have stuff to do, gotta go!} -.- So I invited another Galka MNK. WHAT. A. BAD. IDEA. /slaps herself.
He was such an ass! Okay, so heres the picture for you:
Shoky is pulling with elegy, hitting it with finale on the way to camp, singing two attack up songs for the 4 monks and then if they havent killed it yet she runs back to give me ballad. Which isnt often as usually its dead and she has to pull again.
The four monks are Boosting, and punching. Thats it. Thats all they have to do. Easy, no?
So I'm the lucky white mage. Shokora cant always get finale off in time before the powerhungry monks leap on the mob for the kill, so naturally Ice Spikes paralyzes everyone. I interrupt my haste cycle of four people (have omitted myself as i cant afford that MP) to paralyna. The new monk decides im a moron and /party {insert current status effect} Every single goddamn time. Wait your fucking turn!! I have enough to do, hasting you all, paralyna'ing you all, and then dont forget AOE Curse and Slow. So that's Haste, Paralyna, Cursna, and Erase, that needs to be cast on all four monks and JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A KIRIN'S OSODE does NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT make you more important that everyone else. I dont give a crap what gear your wearing. Shut up and punch.
Don't get me wrong, after the first five times he felt like letting me know about his current negative status effects, i responded with "I know." "yes, I know." "I know!!" "Please stop reminding me, I'm not a moron, I bloody know your paralyzed, so are the other three" and finally i snapped "GODDAMN WAIT YOUR TURN!!"
I swear to god he has tainted my fond experiences hunting bats in KRT.
Summing up, after a while of me throwing things around my apartment Shaun D/C so Sonnia switched in and Shoky switched out for another bard. He wanted to roam, and I said its not a good idea as im having trouble with my Mp as it is, would be worse roaming.
I'm promptly ignored as the stupid monk agrees it's an excellent idea. They run out, and punch a skeleton, and one falls below yellow as I am still standing up. He aggro's the room. Everyone dies.
I home point and come back to raise. I get to camp and my sneak wears off with no where safe to run, I die again and everyone decides its just easier to home point and call it a night.
Bloody monks.
I merited in KRT in my first real bones party last night.
I'm never going down there ever again.
Everyone talks about how zomgawesomeexp!!1111oneoneone it is for monks, and thats fair enough, I'm sure the monk's had it really easy and had a blast.
This poor white mage needs a bit of therapy though :(
The party was me: WHM Shokora: BRD Mjgone: MNK Shaunmc: MNK and two pick up monks.
Shaun got stuck in Windurst during the Whitegate maintenance so had to wait for that to finish so he could warp and pick up a tele. When he finally got there the Japanese MNK {Have stuff to do, gotta go!} -.- So I invited another Galka MNK. WHAT. A. BAD. IDEA. /slaps herself.
He was such an ass! Okay, so heres the picture for you:
Shoky is pulling with elegy, hitting it with finale on the way to camp, singing two attack up songs for the 4 monks and then if they havent killed it yet she runs back to give me ballad. Which isnt often as usually its dead and she has to pull again.
The four monks are Boosting, and punching. Thats it. Thats all they have to do. Easy, no?
So I'm the lucky white mage. Shokora cant always get finale off in time before the powerhungry monks leap on the mob for the kill, so naturally Ice Spikes paralyzes everyone. I interrupt my haste cycle of four people (have omitted myself as i cant afford that MP) to paralyna. The new monk decides im a moron and /party {insert current status effect} Every single goddamn time. Wait your fucking turn!! I have enough to do, hasting you all, paralyna'ing you all, and then dont forget AOE Curse and Slow. So that's Haste, Paralyna, Cursna, and Erase, that needs to be cast on all four monks and JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A KIRIN'S OSODE does NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT make you more important that everyone else. I dont give a crap what gear your wearing. Shut up and punch.

Mmmmm Long weekendy-goodness..
I tried Einherjar on Saturday, it was.... Interesting.
We did the Ghoul one, it was crazy. Ingram didn' t tell anyone to bring poison potions, so we all got slept in the first few seconds. It's pretty tricky, we only went with 20 people though. We ran out of time in the end but we only had about four of them left to kirr, so I think for a first run, we did pretty well. And I didnt die!!
BCNM Madness:
I did Operation Desert Swarm twice this weekend, first time with Sonnia (War) Enishi (Nin) Shokora (Brd) Thorsvald (Pld) Eldoras (Rdm) and me as (Whm). My first time doing this one, I was so scared..... We used five orbs as Shoko doesn't have any KS but we needed her Lullaby talents so she came along to help.
But we farkin pwnt it. And got a Damascene Cloth, a Venemous Claw, four Orichalcum Ingots, and a Serket Ring!! About 2mil worth of drops there, Eni and I sold everything but the Serket Ring, with out that, it came to 1.3mil... But some bastard is undercutting me on the ring, it was 900k, then 850k, then 800k, then 760k, then 720k, then 719k.... It makes me die a little inside after each price cut. I'm going to have to give it away soon. Hell, soon I'll be able to buy it :\ Hope it sells soon, need to pay the LS^^
Bloody undercutters.
Second run I did with me as (Whm), Shokora as (Brd), Macixc as (Rdm), Demented as (Pld), Tidbit as (Mnk) and Mjgone as (Mnk), we did really well too, but drops werent as good. Off five orbs we got a Damascene cloth and an Orichalcum ingot, as well as a bunch of synth material. Sold it all within an hour and got about 600k for it.
Ive decided BCNMs are tasty.
Im planning on organising a ISNM run soon, I did one before with CielBleu and was really successful, own drops though, I lucked out and got one good drop, I cant remember what it was now, but the others got some nice ones. The fight was difficult, even with Ingram going as PLD, but I'm hoping we can do well enough to defeat it. I did the one called "Compliments to the Chef", its basically a big catfish that spams Virus/Paralyze/Bind(or something that needs Erase) its annoying and I was spamming macros from start to finish. I think we need WHM RDM a good tank, maybe a BLM and 2 DD's. We pretty much don't have many regulars that are BLM's in our LS, we have a couple but they aren't on often enough to count on them to join, unless they happen to be logged in. That's why Eni and I are duo'ing our BLM's, so we can do things like Under Observation and such like.
There are 2 other ISNMs that are uncapped, all look tricky, but with a bit of thought, planning and practise I think we might pull it off.
Hmm what else did we do... We merited a bit in King Ranperre's tomb, we had me WHM, Sonnia MNK, Mjgone MNK, Chanel WAR, Draako PLD, and Bluvion MNK. It was realllllllllllllllly difficult with out another mage, as I was on healing duty, haste duty, and Banish duty. Draako needed MP to cure for hate, so I had to banish, throw the odd haste, but mostly cure the monks that kept getting paralzed :\ I wouldn't reccomend this camp without a refresher. Chanel switched out for Macixc RDM it went a bit more smoothly after that. After an hour or so there I had to go do Assault, I just got T3 Superior Private or what ever its called, so did a Tier 3 Periqia assault. The one that you have to find the prisoner. Yeah, was easy. Ingram PLD Alexier RDM (from CielBleu, not TheRisingSun) and me as WHM. We just ran around, following Ingram and he beat down a few chigoes, we found a few prisoners, and had to run past a zombie to get to the chest and ported out as it started beating on Ingram. Fun times.
Then I levelled PLD a bit, @400 to LV14 its quite fun. Not so fun when the nooby warrriors AND MONKS!!!!!!!!!!!!wtf provoke the mob off me. I think I'm doing pretty well so far. Only one party wipe thats cause the puller pulled an IT++crab that was quite obviously out to get us. I hit my RR scroll just before I died so it looked very funny when I was crouching near a pile of dead bodies. I laughed a little. The white mage "disconnected" and the others got raised but I was very tired and needed to sleep for my monster 12 hour shift today.
We have Dynamis-Jeuno tonight.... I'm hoping my AF2 WHM pants drop. I probably won't use my AF2 much, but I still really want it lol. Hey, it's free^^ Not like salvage gear.... *glares at SE*
Well at least I'm starting to save up for it now, going to try think up some more crazy money making schemes as I only have about 40KS left and about 70BS. Planning to do Amphibian Assault BCNM60 I have done that before, it drops some shiny torques and ores. I got crap all last time, but I notoriously have bad luck when I lot on things and trade orbs. Come on, I lotted 26 for the Damascene cloth last night. It was ok cause I was the quartermaster and treasurer. But still!!
Oh and Shokora wants to do Hostile Herbivores BCNM50 soon so I'm going to help her out. I wont have any seals but I dont mind helping her, she helped out with ODS. She wants the Minstrel's ring badly. We'll need a WHM, 2x RDM, 2xNIN and a DRK maybe. Lots to think about and do.
Anyway, that's it for now, I should go back and do some work........ I am at work, after all.
Toodles~

Mmmm... New Update...
I'm looking forward to the new changes...
The ones I'm most excited about are :
Mog Locker capacity can now be increased to a maximum of 80 slots (whee more inventory space {All right!})
The three Salaheem's Sentinels members stationed in Windurst, San d'Oria, and Bastok now offer teleport services to Whitegate for registered mercenaries who have completed the quests they each offer. (now I won't cry every time I accidently set my HP anywhere that's not Whitegate)
The price for the key item needed to enter Limbus (Cosmo-Cleanse) has been changed to 30000 gil. (my incentive now for actually getting off my ass to do Promathia missions)
1500 Assault Points are now required to obtain a remnants permit. (Oh thank god!!! That's all I have to say about this one)
It is now easier to obtain imbued items when defeating monsters within the remnants (most certainly a good thing)
The maximum limit for point allocation in the "Combat Skills" and "Magic Skills" merit point categories will be increased for all jobs (oooh more merits)
and
Einherjar!
It sounds interesting and EXPENSIVE!!! $180,000 per key item to enter?? thank god you only need one. But with 36 people its only $5k each. I'm not likely to go in with that many, maybe 18, so that's really "only" $10k each, but with 12, thats $15k each and with six.... its $30k. Might as well go to limbus really.
Some of the armor looks okay, but not a lot that I can use, til my BLM gets levelled up.
Speaking of which, LV58 now!! And I have a Moldavite earring now!! I can't remember if I said that yet so tough. Thanks to Fraguar, new LS member who helped me out, much appreciated. Lots of cookies coming your way !
Went to Dynamis Bastok last night... I think it's best if we just don't talk about it.
On the plus side, BST MNK DRG and 100x1 dropped. I really don't feel like going into the other details. If you were there, you already know, and if you weren't, its not worth going over again. And if you left early, then shame on you...
I got my Zenith Crown last night!!!!!!!!!!
A certain friend whom I was about to trade the materials to for the synth, traded me the crown instead as a gift and wouldnt let me pay for it :\
Having friends is nice. Now I have to think of something to get him...
But what do you get someone who has everything?
Anyways, short update tonight, going to plan an ENM run soon for Bionic Bug in the Mine Shaft, I think thats it anyway. A cape of some sort that Shaun wants drops from it so thought we would go try it. Any one who is interested from the LS drop me a tell, we need to go farm key items to enter. I also want to try for a Penitent's rope BC NM soon I almost have the 60 seals. Eni said he would help me on Ninja but a third person wouldnt go astray. If you want to come or need the rope or other drops let me know also.
Love you all, and I know you read this stupid thing so stop being lazy and leave a comment!! >:o

My Crazy Weekend
Hello again everyone! What a busy week! I'll have to be short with it as so much happened..
So I was off work on Friday and Saturday, so I got a bit of play time in. The last thing I posted was Wednesday night's Salvage, after that.. on Thursday, I went out to dinner afterwork, so I didn't get home until really late. I saw Spiderman 3 it was pretty okay. Got home at about 12.30am and logged on for a bit but I was pretty tired so I didn't play for long, I don't even remember what I did to be honest.
Friday... Friday.... Hmm..... I think I just mucked around and levelled Black Mage for a bit and random LS stuff that day.. Nothing too amazing, and like I said, it was a few days ago now... Maybe I should start taking notes... Anyway, went out to dinner for my girlfriend's birthday on Friday night with our friends, I had the nicest steak I've ever eaten, it was bliss.
After that I headed home and logged into FFXI for Friday night Salvage. We did a double run tonight, we tore through Zhaylom Remnants and Arrapago Remnants. In the first run we killed the NM and 2x LV35 gears dropped, and one was my Enlil's Crackows (feet)!!!! The other White Mage Alexier lotted straight away.. for 880 !! I couldn't believe it. I never lot that high. Ever. For anything I ever need. /fails at life. So I stared at it for a whole minute (a minute is a long time when you're in shock) with the group telling me to lot on it. So.... I lot.
...
...
...
...

...
...
906!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{mine}
I felt a bit bad... but hey! I won! :P
We didn't get any drops on the second run. Well, nothing 'important' lol.
I was quite excited. Now I'm up to 1/3 on the Mardu body and feet... One day... One day...
Hmmmm a while after that i went nigh nighs zzzzzZZZZZ
Saturday I had the morning off work so I slept in and did some stuff around the house, as you do in the real world.
Then I logged in and merited on Whm with some friends, Hax and Enishi as Ninjas and my memory's a bit fuzzy after that, but I'm sure we had more than three people in that party. It was nice exp, we went to Nyzul Isle and fought Mamool Ja in Bhalfau Thickets.
DYNAMIS!!! poo.
Dynamis!! My long long quest of searching for the Cleric's Briault........................
..........................................................................................................................................
Is still going.
No drop :(
But! the Mnk body piece dropped (semi funny, semi sad story here : Mjgone from my LS was going to come, but promised he would help his friend do something, forgetting about dynamis. So he did the honourable thing and skipped dynamis... and it drops. As free lot! Poor baby *hugs to MJ, you'll get it next time*) and also the Rdm body dropped at the start. Not bad really I suppose.
PROMYVION MEA ENM!!! so-so.
After Dynamis I organised a Promyvion Mea ENM run with my LS, it took a little longer to get sorted than I thought and I ended up being late to this work dinner I had to go to, but I didn't really want to go anyway. (I made it in the end though)
So it was me as Whm/Blm, Bluvion as Rng/Nin, Mjgone as War/Nin, Cerebralpaulz as War/Nin, Shaunmc as Mnk/War and Sidsith as Smn/Whm. Not a bad set up, if I do say so myself.
We had a few problems getting up there, Bluvion hadn't gone to a Promy as Rng before, so we got a bit mixed up with the widescan (I really don't know how it works Rng LV1 ftw) but he was getting readings from different floors in different directions. I have only done this ENM when Ingram has led it, and knows the way, or with Eldoras on the missions, who also knows the way. So Paul whipped out the atlas and grabbed the coordinates and off we went. We wiped once when someone accidently aggro'd a big tall leggy creature I can't remember the name of. Crawler, or something. I hit RR and we went down, and I got up and raised everyone. That was on the third floor. Other than that, it went really smoothly.
At the Spire, we rested and got ready to enter, with me reiterating that it wasnt Ancient Flames Beckon, but "the other one". We all get into the arena, when MJ says "what other one?" Turns out that he had logged to mule when I was telling everyone "DONT FORGET THE CENSER ITEM" and explained what it was and where to get it. I mentioned afterwards asking if everyone the item and RR, and MJ told me he didnt have the reraise item, but was no problem as I had an earring. Whoops to me for not double checking, sorry MJ :(
So we tried with 5, and within 15 seconds I went down so fast I dont even know now what happened there. Imagine my abject horror to realise that in all the fuss over MJ not getting into the arena, that I forgot to use my reraise earring. So i basically shouted for everyone to use their 2hours and go nuts on it. Shaun died but reraised in time to help finish it off. He went down fast. Phew.
I didn't get any exp cause I was dead, but the others scored their 3000 exp points. Except MJ, who was outside :( I had to home point as we had no Raise, and I was soooo late to dinner. Off I went, thanking everyone for coming. I think we will do awesomely next time, as we have more practice and get used to travelling there.
And using reraise.
Oh, and no good items dropped.
I went out until about midnight on friday night and came home shortly thereafter. I logged in to check a few things, and Ingram from my Salvage/Dynamis LS asked me if I would come help him in sky as my Whm.....
Now.
SKY!! zomgiwanttodie.
For those of you that know me, I hate sky. I went there once to poke around and died more times than I care to reminisce about. I vowed never to return. But I have trouble saying no to my friends...
/sigh
We head up there and I have no map, so imagine me being grumpy and perpetually lost. At 1am. And a little drunk from dinner at the National Wine Centre. Just take this image of me and insert me into the place I hate the most out of the whole game. Fun times.
I'm so glad that Enishi came with us, I would have been lost and in tears with out him. The whole LS that came to sky, about 16 people total, were all Japanese except for about two people. One of those was me. Who got lost twice and had to be rescued. Thank you Eldo! Oh, and I died three or four times due to this bard casting sneak next to a mob, and dying. I happened to be standing near by and got killed too. I think I cast cure on her from a distance out of range of the mob, but the whole hate linking thing got me there. I don't mind dying, really. It's kind of fun, and part of the whole life/death game thing. But it's a bit annoying when it's not even my fault.
Oh well, nevermind.
We went up to fight the Despot for the item to pop, oh I dont know, one of the big boss things. Warrentang was camping it there ahead of us and outclaimed everyone there, as Pld/Nin. Yes, thats right. Pld/Nin. None of this Thf/War business, didn't you get the memo? That's so yesterday for camping things. So {All right!} to Warren, nice work. We got there and kirred it and headed over to pop Suzako. Suzuko? Suduko? You know the one, the big bird. Uneventful fight, no deaths or any exciting near misses. But the only good drop was the Aquarian Abjuration for the head piece... And I got it! Woo~! Zenith Crown, here I come!
Then we went to fight Byakko, the big tiger. It was kinda fun, spamming Paralyna and Erase. Every three seconds. He went down pretty fast, and guess what he dropped? Aquarian Abjuration for the legs...
And guess who got it? That's right! Powerwhitemage here I come! Being Elvaan is depressing, I have no MP at all. This is going to help though. In a big way.
BORING STUFF ABOUT HOW POOR I AM!!! /fail
Cursed Crown : 140-150k Auction House price
Synthesis Materials : Copper Ingot, Gold Ingot, Siren's Hair and Fire Crystal.
I have all these now, Ingram offered to craft it for me (yes, I know, it's cheaper to buy the crown, but dammit I want a HQ!lol) He has an 11% chance to HQ the synth, (as it is only a lv91 goldsmith recipe) so I had a long think about it (a whole 5 minutes) and decided to spend the extra cash on the materials in the hopes for a Cursed Crown -1 instead. It wasn't much more expensive, I picked up the Siren's hair for a good price (~159k, and it went for 163k, 200k, 161k after I bought one last night.) and the copper is 1k and the gold ingot, Enishi gave me three gold beastcoins (thank you! <3)>all. So shut your mouth, you Blm haters! :P
I made an exp party of my own in the evening, after exping with random people earlier, we did a LS party it was so fun. We pissed around for about half an hour before we started so we wasted lots of time but it was a long party so it was ok. It was me as Blm, Sidsith as Pld, Bluvion as War, Archangyl as Rdm, and two people I invited that I had exp'd on earlier in the day: Fraguar as Thf, and Mirohan as Rdm also. It was a lot of fun, we hit up Lesser Colibri in the Wajaom Woodlands. I invited both of the newies to the LS and Fraguar hopped in for the rest of the night, but Mirohan has one of those silly end game LS's so he will only be visiting now and then.
After a long time I got very sleepy and disbanded and went to bed around 3.30am I could barely keep my eyes open.
This morning I logged on to check a few things and Fraguar dragged me down to camp my Moldavite Earring in the Labrynth of Onzozo. I guess he didnt think I was cool enough without it :P
Mysticmaker hadn't spawned by the time I had to go to work, but he said to leave my character logged in and he would try get the drop for me, how nice! I was happy enough going to work today, but it's been flat out busy, I've barely had any time to sit around and do nothing all day. How rude! :D
I wonder if my character is still logged in and if he was able to get the earring... Man, I'd owe him so many favors if I get home and I have that earring. I feel like I'm cheating a bit, but hey, I put in plenty of time elsewhere, and im currently 0/3 on it. Something's gotta give.
Okay, I'm done here. You can go now.
Thanks for reading again, and sorry for the lengthy post.... It was all important, I swear!
Oh, and I had screen shots too, I'll have to edit some in later and make this post super gigantic.
I love you too ~!
So I was off work on Friday and Saturday, so I got a bit of play time in. The last thing I posted was Wednesday night's Salvage, after that.. on Thursday, I went out to dinner afterwork, so I didn't get home until really late. I saw Spiderman 3 it was pretty okay. Got home at about 12.30am and logged on for a bit but I was pretty tired so I didn't play for long, I don't even remember what I did to be honest.
Friday... Friday.... Hmm..... I think I just mucked around and levelled Black Mage for a bit and random LS stuff that day.. Nothing too amazing, and like I said, it was a few days ago now... Maybe I should start taking notes... Anyway, went out to dinner for my girlfriend's birthday on Friday night with our friends, I had the nicest steak I've ever eaten, it was bliss.
SALVAGE !! fun.
After that I headed home and logged into FFXI for Friday night Salvage. We did a double run tonight, we tore through Zhaylom Remnants and Arrapago Remnants. In the first run we killed the NM and 2x LV35 gears dropped, and one was my Enlil's Crackows (feet)!!!! The other White Mage Alexier lotted straight away.. for 880 !! I couldn't believe it. I never lot that high. Ever. For anything I ever need. /fails at life. So I stared at it for a whole minute (a minute is a long time when you're in shock) with the group telling me to lot on it. So.... I lot.

906!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{mine}
I felt a bit bad... but hey! I won! :P
We didn't get any drops on the second run. Well, nothing 'important' lol.
I was quite excited. Now I'm up to 1/3 on the Mardu body and feet... One day... One day...
Hmmmm a while after that i went nigh nighs zzzzzZZZZZ
Saturday I had the morning off work so I slept in and did some stuff around the house, as you do in the real world.
Then I logged in and merited on Whm with some friends, Hax and Enishi as Ninjas and my memory's a bit fuzzy after that, but I'm sure we had more than three people in that party. It was nice exp, we went to Nyzul Isle and fought Mamool Ja in Bhalfau Thickets.
DYNAMIS!!! poo.
Dynamis!! My long long quest of searching for the Cleric's Briault........................
..........................................................................................................................................
Is still going.
No drop :(
But! the Mnk body piece dropped (semi funny, semi sad story here : Mjgone from my LS was going to come, but promised he would help his friend do something, forgetting about dynamis. So he did the honourable thing and skipped dynamis... and it drops. As free lot! Poor baby *hugs to MJ, you'll get it next time*) and also the Rdm body dropped at the start. Not bad really I suppose.
PROMYVION MEA ENM!!! so-so.
After Dynamis I organised a Promyvion Mea ENM run with my LS, it took a little longer to get sorted than I thought and I ended up being late to this work dinner I had to go to, but I didn't really want to go anyway. (I made it in the end though)
So it was me as Whm/Blm, Bluvion as Rng/Nin, Mjgone as War/Nin, Cerebralpaulz as War/Nin, Shaunmc as Mnk/War and Sidsith as Smn/Whm. Not a bad set up, if I do say so myself.
We had a few problems getting up there, Bluvion hadn't gone to a Promy as Rng before, so we got a bit mixed up with the widescan (I really don't know how it works Rng LV1 ftw) but he was getting readings from different floors in different directions. I have only done this ENM when Ingram has led it, and knows the way, or with Eldoras on the missions, who also knows the way. So Paul whipped out the atlas and grabbed the coordinates and off we went. We wiped once when someone accidently aggro'd a big tall leggy creature I can't remember the name of. Crawler, or something. I hit RR and we went down, and I got up and raised everyone. That was on the third floor. Other than that, it went really smoothly.
At the Spire, we rested and got ready to enter, with me reiterating that it wasnt Ancient Flames Beckon, but "the other one". We all get into the arena, when MJ says "what other one?" Turns out that he had logged to mule when I was telling everyone "DONT FORGET THE CENSER ITEM" and explained what it was and where to get it. I mentioned afterwards asking if everyone the item and RR, and MJ told me he didnt have the reraise item, but was no problem as I had an earring. Whoops to me for not double checking, sorry MJ :(
So we tried with 5, and within 15 seconds I went down so fast I dont even know now what happened there. Imagine my abject horror to realise that in all the fuss over MJ not getting into the arena, that I forgot to use my reraise earring. So i basically shouted for everyone to use their 2hours and go nuts on it. Shaun died but reraised in time to help finish it off. He went down fast. Phew.
I didn't get any exp cause I was dead, but the others scored their 3000 exp points. Except MJ, who was outside :( I had to home point as we had no Raise, and I was soooo late to dinner. Off I went, thanking everyone for coming. I think we will do awesomely next time, as we have more practice and get used to travelling there.
And using reraise.
Oh, and no good items dropped.
I went out until about midnight on friday night and came home shortly thereafter. I logged in to check a few things, and Ingram from my Salvage/Dynamis LS asked me if I would come help him in sky as my Whm.....
Now.
SKY!! zomgiwanttodie.
For those of you that know me, I hate sky. I went there once to poke around and died more times than I care to reminisce about. I vowed never to return. But I have trouble saying no to my friends...
/sigh
We head up there and I have no map, so imagine me being grumpy and perpetually lost. At 1am. And a little drunk from dinner at the National Wine Centre. Just take this image of me and insert me into the place I hate the most out of the whole game. Fun times.
I'm so glad that Enishi came with us, I would have been lost and in tears with out him. The whole LS that came to sky, about 16 people total, were all Japanese except for about two people. One of those was me. Who got lost twice and had to be rescued. Thank you Eldo! Oh, and I died three or four times due to this bard casting sneak next to a mob, and dying. I happened to be standing near by and got killed too. I think I cast cure on her from a distance out of range of the mob, but the whole hate linking thing got me there. I don't mind dying, really. It's kind of fun, and part of the whole life/death game thing. But it's a bit annoying when it's not even my fault.
Oh well, nevermind.
We went up to fight the Despot for the item to pop, oh I dont know, one of the big boss things. Warrentang was camping it there ahead of us and outclaimed everyone there, as Pld/Nin. Yes, thats right. Pld/Nin. None of this Thf/War business, didn't you get the memo? That's so yesterday for camping things. So {All right!} to Warren, nice work. We got there and kirred it and headed over to pop Suzako. Suzuko? Suduko? You know the one, the big bird. Uneventful fight, no deaths or any exciting near misses. But the only good drop was the Aquarian Abjuration for the head piece... And I got it! Woo~! Zenith Crown, here I come!
Then we went to fight Byakko, the big tiger. It was kinda fun, spamming Paralyna and Erase. Every three seconds. He went down pretty fast, and guess what he dropped? Aquarian Abjuration for the legs...
And guess who got it? That's right! Powerwhitemage here I come! Being Elvaan is depressing, I have no MP at all. This is going to help though. In a big way.
BORING STUFF ABOUT HOW POOR I AM!!! /fail
Cursed Crown : 140-150k Auction House price
Synthesis Materials : Copper Ingot, Gold Ingot, Siren's Hair and Fire Crystal.
I have all these now, Ingram offered to craft it for me (yes, I know, it's cheaper to buy the crown, but dammit I want a HQ!lol) He has an 11% chance to HQ the synth, (as it is only a lv91 goldsmith recipe) so I had a long think about it (a whole 5 minutes) and decided to spend the extra cash on the materials in the hopes for a Cursed Crown -1 instead. It wasn't much more expensive, I picked up the Siren's hair for a good price (~159k, and it went for 163k, 200k, 161k after I bought one last night.) and the copper is 1k and the gold ingot, Enishi gave me three gold beastcoins (thank you! <3)>all. So shut your mouth, you Blm haters! :P
