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
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 ~!
