Final Fantasy XI

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

I admit it, I used the Fortifications to skill Scythe to lv50 cap for DRK since I was stupid and used GS only when leveling it for sub. That being said, I contend that SE added Dancer to enable melees to solo. What does this mean? Gear defensively (eat Tavnazian Tacos, etc), sub Dancer, get ... Read More

To start off, I finally capped Shield Skill on Paladin! I tried PLD/RDM vs. Pucks in the Den of Rancor, but that ended in death, so I went back to my old friends the Steelshells as PLD/DNC. I proceeded to pull only EM or T ones and beat them down with my Warp Cudgel so ... Read More

I have but one word for Composure: awesome. The recast time increase is a very manageable 25%, but the duration increase is 300%. Accuracy bonus seems to be a straight 15, which is a very nice amount for free. While I was farming Enthunder II, I managed to aggro Bonze Marberry and an Iron Maiden, ... Read More

Two words: Holy. Crap. Nuevo Coselete will be mine! I’m still torn on whether or not to pair Accuracy +10 or Fast Cast +5% with Enmity +5. Accuracy can be made up with Dorado Sushi, but having that much extra would be quite nice for Atonement spam. On the other hand, Flash going 5% faster ... Read More

I’ve not made a real post in a couple weeks, and since I’m presently skilling Staff on the Fortifications, I figure I’d make a post. In the past few weeks I’ve accomplished quite a bit. Most recently, I hit Floor 100 in Nyzul and got my Vorpal Sword finally on Saturday! I immediately went out ... Read More

I won the Mandragora Doll! Got the email last night while I was farming an Oztroja coffer key and helping a friend work on his Sturdy Axe for King’s Justice. Much thanks to BG! 😀
