Final Fantasy XI

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

Wow, the sky linkshell continues to rock! We felled our first Kirin on Tuesday, which is astounding. But, on to more important things… Wednesday’s Dynamis-Valkurm gave up a Bard’s Roundlet -1, and as I had gotten the NQ version the San d’Oria the week before, I decided to pay for it. Almost immediately after the ... Read More

With the announcement that Final Fantasy XIV is to be another online game, the major question among FFXI players is “Do I leave all the work behind and move on to the new game?” I am certain that a lot of forum posts will occur when the new game comes out that such-and-such LS leader ... Read More

Monday’s holiday saw myself and some friends exping, quite literally, all day. I took that opportunity to burn through my remaining anniversary ring charges as Bard to get even closer to 75. By the time we broke around 6pm, after nearly 7 hours of my crazy pulling, I was within about 8k of 75. Upon ... Read More

First off, Sunday’s Dynamis-Xarcabard yet again failed to put out a Valor Surcoat for me. I am a sad panda. Also our attempt to zerg the last ACP fight failed when my chainspell stun misfired. Now need to find a group for that in the not too distant future. Beyond that, I managed to finish ... Read More

I really should make it a point to update this at least once per week. Trying slightly to improve on that. First off, last Saturday’s Salvage run netted me some new shinies. I am now 4/15 on Ares! Deimos’s Leggings and Phobos’s Cuisses dropped, and I won the lot on both. Now I just need ... Read More

After Dynamis last night, I went to Rolanberry Fields to bazaar the currency I got, and while I was there, I perused some of the other bazaars to see what I could find. One person had a stack of Ancient Beastcoins for 7300g/ea. As I’ve accumulated a decent sum of gil in the past few ... Read More
