Final Fantasy XI

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

Today and tomorrow mark the Fourth Anniversary of my obtaining Sky access and entering into endgame officially. On November 16, 2005, I spent two hours in Lower Jeuno shouting to form a party to finish Zilart Missions 6 through 12. The following day I was pearled for the now-defunct ObscuraNox endgame linkshell. That decision changed ... Read More

I’ve gotten the 2 best pieces of relic for Blue Mage in the body and the back; however, the learning spells thing kinda still sticks with me as to whether or not I want to take it to 75 right now. I’d feel a bit left behind if I did a bunch of Level Sync ... Read More

Last night… And then 5 minutes later… I am one very happy Red Mage right now.

Ever since I learned way back in early 2006 that Blue Mage would have A- sword skill and access to its EX weapon skills natively, I have resented that “slap in the face” to Red Mages who like to melee. I resented it so much to the point that if a BLU were seeking party, ... Read More

Hmm, I forgot to update this regularly, orz. Since the last post, I’ve made some progress! DRK is now 75 and needs merits, I acquired Homam Manopolas from a recent Omega, and yesterday the LS did a La Vaule SCNM, which dropped Gnadbhod’s Helm, which I won the lot for. Universal WS head, gooooo. I ... Read More

When I quit FFXI “never to return” three years and one month ago, I thought that if I ever returned, I wouldn’t do endgame of any sort. That held true for a few months after I opted to play more towards the end of 2006, did some endgame with the new version of my old ... Read More

Last night we ran Dynamis-Valkurm and not one, not two, but THREE Valor Capes dropped, and I got one of them! Got a lot of other stuff too. Pictures forthcoming tonight when I get home.

PLD hit 75 on January 30. Today I acquired the last piece of Relic Armor. 6 months is pretty fast for that, heh. Now to hope I can get the Valor Cape in less time than nearly 2 years like a friend of mine had to wait.

Since the last update, my DRK is now 62, hitting that last night. Unfortunately, thanks to Level Sync, I didn’t get Guillotine until last night’s party, and I think I’m in love, lol. As soon as I hit 200 skill, when I had TP I threw on Souleater and Last Resort and tossed out one ... Read More
