Magians and Miscellany

by Jukor
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, ...

Finding Oneself

by Jukor
Sometimes one has to fall further than they ever have to find where they should be. {removed} I entertained returning to WoW, playing The Old Republic, or merely returning to the addiction of Quake 3 Arena, Counter-Strike, or some similar FPS. However, in the end, just over $600 and a new machine later, I returned ... Read More

Alliance, Horde, and a Return Home to Vana’diel

by Jukor
About a year ago, I decided to quit FFXI for WoW, like a lot of Vana’diel veterans, then quit that not too long afterwards after a very bad run in the Pit of Saron, went MMO-less for a couple of months, then went back to Vana’diel for a short while. That was very short-lived as ... Read More

For the Alliance!

by Jukor
After quitting FFXI back in March, I decided to devote my MMO time entirely to World of Warcraft. I’d been playing it between events in XI for a month or so, and the constant prodding of a friend of mine, coupled with SE’s gigantic “EFF YOU” to most of the playerbase in raising the cap ...

The one most people are reacting to is the announcement of the level cap being raised to 99 from 75. The last time ... Read More

HQ Relic Armor and the Future

by Jukor
In +1’ing my Duelist’s Chapeau, I now permanently have -5 inventory as I am 99.9% sure I will never get another NQ one. While having Duelist’s Armor claim slip as a key item was fun for a while, not missing out on another 3 MND for Slow II reallly is worth the inventory space loss. ... Read More

Oh snap, huge DORP

by Jukor
Inventory -5 🙁 But, MND+3 for Slow II 😀 Guess I’ll work on +1’ing the entire set after all, hehe.

2009’s FFXI Big 10 News

by Jukor
Last year, JPButton asked FFXI players to submit their 「１０大ニュース」”10-Dai News” or “Big 10 News” of the previous year. I didn’t do this last year and was looking forward to contributing this year, but Elmer and Corinth didn’t post an official post about it. … I’ll list mine anyway. Quoting Elmer’s post from last year: ... Read More

Set Parties and Level Sync

by Jukor
One common thought on leveling jobs up is to use a “set” or “static” party. I find this to be the most efficient, provided the group can meet more than one or two days per week, since the time spent finding members is removed completely if the set is six members. Additionally, knowing who the ... Read More
