CoP Days

Sunday was a swift belt run and CoP static with ls mates. Both didn't go very well, but it was a fun try with both. The swiftbelt ran smoothly, just IT DIDN'T DROP! 0/6... Was fun though because we got to party with old CK people, Amenti and Sappy.

After the swift belt run it was time for my CoP static with ls mates. Like I said before it didn't go too well, but still a fun try. I believe the reason was because of me, I was a pld that time and hate was all over the place. I think nin would be better for it. We will see next time.

Monday was CoP with my qcdn group. We finished 8-2 which took 3 HOURS AND 45 MINS! God that was such a pain... I got 3k of limit points though because of it and almost to a 3rd merit. Next Monday I hope to finish CoP so I can do sea with my LS which is during the same time as this static. Tomorrow is Assault/ToAU missions, can't wait!

This is the group in action! We aggro'd so much we should have just killed everything...

This is a CS before 8-3, we will finish 8-3 and hopfully 8-4 next Monday.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Thursday was Jorm, but my *&@(!$ connection was down from 4pm PST to like 2pm PST the next day. I was pissed because I heard they got it down to 10%, and would have gotten it but a mistake happened which caused the loss. It was still a good try, I mean 10%, just alittle longer and they would have had it.

Friday because my connection just got back on at 2pm PST I didn't do much. In fact I don't remember what I did because I was still pissed I missed Jorm.

Anyways Saturday was farming day in sky and we spent the whole time there at Ulli. And the bastard didn't pop... the same kind of bull shit we are used to, sometimes I think SE just hates us... Right now my Black Mage is at 35, almost to 36. I don't think I'll be leveling it to 75, just doesn't feel like a job for me. I'll try Red Mage, but I'm pretty sure I'll level that to 75 because I like to solo factor of the Red Mage. I may however level it to 60 just for the AF! Tomorrow is Swift belt run, and CoP static with ls mates, I'll report back later.

ToAU Missions and Assault

Tuesday was ToAU missions and Assault with my static. We started off with doing ToAU missions, we first killed the fomor NM on 'Lost Kingdom' mission, then did a CS before doing the first BC fight in the ToAU missions. We had to wait for Eulore though because he had Limbus. This is a picture of the CS during 'Lost Kingdom' mission.

Before we fought the NM fomor.

After we killed the NM fomor.

When Eulore got back, we did the BC fight. It was easy, and the CS was nice. Soul was the only one that got killed... he got one shoted by the NM boss! This is a picture of the CS after we beat the BC.

After the BC we were done with the missions for ToAU for today, and decided to start on doing Assault missions. We did four Assault runs again, all SP level so Rim and I can get the promotion quest for LC. The missions were fun, most involved killing stuff so I enjoyed it! We won three, but the last run we ran out of time... Next Tuesday we will get it and finish off SP. Tomorrow is Limbus, I hope to join in for my first run!

CoP Night!

Monday was CoP night. But until then I decided to start on leveling lower level jobs since I capped Warrior group 1 in merits. The sub jobs I'm going to work on are: blm, drk, and sam to 37 hopefully in 2-3 weeks. It was a slow day though because we had a server restart on Monday so not many low level people looking for a party. So instead of seeking I decided to afk until CoP static started.

At 6:30pm PST everyone gathered and I was excited because when we beat this BC we would have access to sea and limbus! Since we did all of the BC so far 1/1 I didn't expect any worries. However, we lost our first try... it wasn't so bad though because even though we lost, we lost because when we started the fight about 20secs into it the tarus sleepga2 everyone including our whm. It was until dragod(black mage) and me(monk) were dead did we figure out our white mage was still slept... we were so close too, he was like at 20% before he did his WS that throws you out. Anyways the second time we did it we won, and finally sea access! The cut was long but very cool! After the CSs we started on 8-1, and after that we wanted to start on 8-2 but the mission is long so we decided to wait until next week to do it. Anyways I have sea and limbus! Tuesday I have assault/toau static and Wednesday I would like to try Limbus! I'll post lots of pictures later.

CS after the Tenzen fight... and its a twist in the storyline!

I'm in sea! CS of me finally there!

Quiet Weekend

Friday and the weekend were quiet days for FFXI. Friday nothing much happened. I mostly tried to get a merit party, but ended up quiting for the day and watching TV.

Saturday I didn't play much either had RL stuff to do, but I heard we skipped sky farming to camp Fafnir, didnt get claim. I did however merit with some ls mates while camping Ulli when I logged back in for the tonight. I got a merit out of it, but Ulli didn't pop.

Sunday again was RL stuff for me so I didn't play much. I did however quickly logged in to kill Snoll for my ls CoP static. Next Sun is Airship for them!

After the RL stuff I had to do, I logged back in for a late night merit party because I'm only 1 merit away from getting Warrior group 1 capped. Got a party and earned 2 merits out of it putting my total at 175 merits and Warrior group 1 is capped! Now I'm going to level some sub jobs. Monday is hopefully 7-5 Tenzen fight, if I beat that I'm on chapter 8!

HNM kills and Merits

Hello! Wednesday and Thursday were fun days for HNM camping. Wednesday we camped Fafnir again right after the restart because of the update of the servers. We missed claim but the ls that got Fafnir claimed flies as well so they called for help and escaped/wiped. We waited for Fafnir to turn white, and when he did we got him. When we finished him an E.hand and Talon droped. It was fun because I got to tank it! Pictures to come later. After the Fafnir kill I seeked and finished the night in a merit party, I got 1 merit out of it.

Thursday, we were to kill Jorm, but because of the restart he wasn't up. So we tried Fafnir again, but I didn't get to camp it because I was driving home. I heard he poped first window. Behemoth was next, so I came running down there. I saw him appear on my radar and I should have claimed him! But my stuipd butter fingers pressed F8 and my voke macro at the same time doing nothing... So I left a 2 second delay for someone else to get him.

After Behemoth we went to Valley for Sorrow for the turtle. Again I saw him pop but I was recasting sneak... but luckly Nomar was there and he provoked first, a second later I pulled him in. It was the NQ so we killed it fast. Not a bad couple of days for HNM camping, still no black belt items though for me, hopefully soon. After the HNM camping I did some merit with ls mates and got 2 merits! 3 more until I cap Warrior Group 1 and start on leveling my sub jobs for my next job to 75.

1 Merit! and Assault

I finally got a merit party! Been a few days... like 5 since I got one. I need now 6 more merits to finally finish Warrior Group 1, and then after start working on some sub jobs. I'm still trying to decide on which job to level to 75 next. I'm either going to do rdm or blm.

Yesterday was Assault night. We did two missions to finish off PFC so Rim and me could do the promotion quest to get SP (Superior Private). The other two missions we did were repeats to build on assault points to get items we wanted. After that I went to finish my promotion, so I went off looking for the 'Dark Rider's footprint'. Took awhile but I found it in Mount Zhayolm. Here are some pictures.

This is from a CS of the promotion quest... the Dark Rider

This is me getting promoted to Superior Private!

Last Weekend's Stuff and Monday

Last weekend we didn't do much. Saturday was sky farming. But before farming started, a few other ls mates were going to do the KS30 copycat, so I joined. It was pretty fun, however, we did loss on two orbs though, it was fun watching as I tried to kill my fellow ls mates! In the end we all got about 290k each. After the KS30 run, we did sky farming and it was a poor turnout. We started late so we missed Ulli, and because we had a few people still gathering we also missed Faust. The only item we did get was water for Olla. Hopefully next farming will be better.

Sunday we were suppose to have Dynamis, however, again another poor turnout. This time no paladins showed, so until further notice PinCKs isn't doing any runs... That really killed the night. After that I did Moblins BC with my ls's CoP static. We defeated it pretty easily, next Sunday is Snoll.

Yesterday I didn't merit, which I should have because I still need 7 more merits before finishing off Warrior Group 1. But I did get to finish 6-4 the airship battle. It was a fun and hard battle, but we won on our first try with lots of time to spare.

After the battle we did CSs and a few of us did the NMs fights for 7-4. Next Monday is 7-5 Tenzen's BC. I hope the static sticks together because we are only 2-3 weeks until the finish.

Week's Stuff!

Hello! I keep on forgetting to do daily posts, but I'm lazy so that I rarely do so and just wait for the last minute to update.

Anyways, Tuesday was Assault night. It went well at the start. First two missions were easy, then the third we hit a snag. In that mission we were to mine for a ore with 30mins, but we lost because we couldn't find it... all we found were worms, or got a "You find nothing" message. So we retried again and got it the second time by spliting up at the start.

Wednesday was suppose to be Dynamis, but we didn't run again... I'm getting kinda of despressed with Dynamis lately. But I got 3 merits that day so it wasn't so depressing.

Today was Kirin! We tried to do a TPburn off of Kirin, but it didn't go so well, so we had to improvise and kite as normal. But the drops were a W.LEGS! Yep, its been a LONG while since we got one. After Kirin some ls mates wanted to merit so we made a CK merit party and started off into a war party to kill trolls. It was a fun party and got 2 merits out of it.

Anyways, tomorrow is Friday, probably going to merit more and finish my CoP CSs. Saturday is Farming and Sunday Dynamis... I hope.

Operation Desert Swarm and Merits

Last night Rece asked in ls if anyone wanted to do a KS30 run ODS. I said yes and so did 4 others. I need some money and Senjuinrikio katana which drops there so it turned into a productive night for me. Rig, Rece, True, Soli, and Mori were apart of the run with me. The run started slow with crapy drops, but when the run ended we had two D.cloths and a O.ingot. But with the economy as it is now I expect we will only get 350k each or so.

After the KS30 run, Pau wanted to merit and setup up a LS merit/exp party. But we were short one guy so we got someone outside of the linkshell. Anyways it was a fun party, Rece was main healer for like 45mins because Javir needed to get his gear ready. It turned out fine because we got around 10k in a hour with only 4melee and 1brd main healer! When the party ended I got 2 merits out of it. Overall the night was a good one. More to come later.

Fafnir camping, Sky mini gods, Swift belt run, and Dynamis

Lots of stuff has happened when I last posted. I guess I'll start with what my ls has been doing for the past week. Which was camping fafnir. From Wed to today we camped it and we could not get claim, which is depressing but I know one day we will. We just have to keep trying and keep up the hard work we all have been doing.

Thursday we did mini-gods. We did 1Byakko, 1Genbu, 2Seiryu, 1Suzaku. From Byakko I tried to lot on E.feet, but they didnt drop. From Genbu I lotted Genbu's Kabuto which I got. Both Seiryu I tried to lot D.head and Seiryu's sword. First try, either droped then the second pop the sword droped. Suzaku, I lotted N.hands and they droped. It was a productive day for me. My list of stuff I want in sky are now: Seiryu's kote, D.head, E.feet, and Kirin's Osode. I'm also interested in N.body. But I'll decide if I want it or not later.

Saturday was a swift belt run from QCDN.org, and it went pretty well. I believe we went 6/11 or 7/11. However, I was one of the unlucky ones that didn't get the swift belt to drop. But I guess its natural, I'm never a lucky one. My friend however Deathdealer got his swift belt after 13 tries or something, so Congratulations to him!

Today was camping fafnir again. We didnt get claim... after that was Dynamis-Beaucedine. I'm main lotting Ninja in Northlands because its more useful than Monk AF2 there. However no ninja AF2 droped tonight. I did get Warrior AF2 legs, which is good for my collection and it adds +5 str so it could be useful swaping gear for WSs. We also got a Black Mage AF2... which a pld got because the BLMs didnt main lot it, but its ok cause his Black Mage is 70+ or he would not have been able to lot it. CoP was postponed because Ninya is still having trouble getting online. Tue I have Assault and Wed is Dynamis again. I'll add pictures later once I log off my PC, right now I'm typing this up on my notebook.

CoP Static, Fafnir Camping, Assault

Sunday Dynamis was canceled again... was depressed about that, but because of that CoP started early so the team gather and as we started to enter the BC... I couldn't enter! I missed a CS! I was about to kill myself so I warped myself to Windy. Running around waters to walls to finish the CSs I began to reflect on how much of an idiot I was... Finally getting the CSs, I travel back we did the Mithra BC, which was an easy fight. Next Sunday is Moblins BC.

Monday wasn't a busy day and I didn't feel like doing anything. But there was a call to camp Fafnir so I came running. After two hours of camping and no pop, I get a /tell reminding me I made a promise to help with a BC fight for CoP. So after the 4th window I left to gear up. But when I was picking up gear I heard Fafnir popped and Purpose claimed. After I geared up I did the Moblins BC and finished the second path. One more to go, the Snoll fight.

Today, Tuesday we again camped Fafnir, but we missed claim. It popped this time during the second window and Perseverance got it. We also almost MPKed them because Daodao linked some flies on top of them... that was bad, but we cleared it up and explained it was not on purpose.

After that I did some Assault with Aeron and Soul's Assault static. I finally got PFC, this is a picture of 1 of 4 Assault runs we did.

Now that I'm PFC I was able to advance more into ToAU missions. Some pictures of CSs.

This is a picture in Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. The zone is beautiful, and the CS was nice.

Doh... looks like I can't add more pictures, maybe ran out of room. Next time more pictures! Tomorrow is Fafnir again, maybe dynamis... but I think its canceled again. Thursday minis.
