Mathy Mathy Mathy…

Ugh, Excel is both the most awesome program ever and the most dangerous. I took some time this morning to tabulate up how many merit points I need to fully merit my 5 99s and associated categories: 691. Ouch. Guess I got a lot of worm parties or whisker burning to do… On the less ... Read More

Looking Forward…

Thus far the use of Ninja to collect seals and +2 items has gone rather nicely. Wednesday night I killed Pascerpot a few times with a friend’s BLM to get the 8 seals for Iga Kyahan +1, and we killed 3 Bukhises as well, which weren’t nearly as smooth, even with another NIN to help, ... Read More

A Heart Beneath a Blade, Clothed in the Light of Dawn

It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote anything over here, so it’s time for some recap action! I’d started work on finally finishing the Lu Shang’s Fishing Rod quest, even going so far as to compile a spreadsheet to track remaining fish, stacks of fish, and full 200-catch fishing days, but some reading ...

Another New Month…

I’m back in Vana’diel for the Nth time. An old friend of mine, the original owner of my second account in fact, started playing it again and posted on Facebook that he needed an Earth Staff. So happens I had one on a mule signed by someone who was in our old HNMLS on Ragnarok ... Read More

Life on a Role-Playing PvE Server…

TERA is a game I was never certain I would play. It’s not that I thought it was a bad game at first, I just didn’t feel like playing it as I was still figuring out what game I wanted to play between FFXI, WoW, or FFXIV since I finally had a computer capable of ... Read More

New Year, New Goals, and a Beta?

It’s been a while since I blogged here, hasn’t it? Since last July, I’ve waffled between FFXI, FFXIV, and Guild Wars 2, which I picked up on release date. GW2 was fun at the start and I actually enjoyed doing some PvP as a Guardian. I quickly got a little tired of it, however, once ... Read More

Vana’diel to Eorzea and Back Again

Apologies to J. R. R. Tolkien for mangling “There and Back Again” for this post’s title. By the end of March, after a few weeks of slogging through Vana’diel mostly on my own or with a couple of friends, relegated to being RDM or a rather gimp non-relic DRK, later on a very underequipped, underskilled, ...

The Beast Within

This week I paid for two Fell Cleave parties to get my Blue Mage from 30 to 99, so I have quite a bit of catching up to do for spells and skills. I had enough merits stored after the second FC to max Assimilation, so I will be able to easily set desirable traits ... Read More

Current Leveling Priorities!

The time has arrived for me to get down to business and actually level stuff up. Since completing the Level 99 Limit Break quest, I have a need to sit down and get both “main” jobs and “support” jobs up to snuff. First priority is to get Red Mage to 99, followed by DRK to ... Read More

Magians and Miscellany

The Magian Moogles are going to see a lot of me as things progress. Between getting my AF3 and some AF2 upgraded, I am working on a few weapons for various purposes: a STR Shikargar for my eventual Almace offhand, Almace itself, the Occasionally Attacks Twice Fulgurante, the Occasionally Attacks 2 to 4 Times Ogresse, ...
