Questing and Merits

Thursday, I mostly did quests since a lot of people were seeking for merit parties. I did Bastok quests, and I think I said this before on another post but like Sandy I did most of the quests in Bastok. All that's left are the quests that you need parties for, or requires lots of travel time. I also did Aht Urhgan quests, like the new quest where you find out more about the background on the serpent generals. I'll add pictures of quests later.

Bastok quests, mostly a love story.

Ode to the Serpents quest.

This part is about Najelith the Galeserpent General.

This part is about Zazarg the Stonserpent General.

This morning I got a nice merit party. Looked like a nice setup with 2wars, nin, brd, cor, rdm. I got a total of 3 merits. Was fun to do some meriting again. Warriors still out dmg me! Probably need to look at my gear setup, I'm still missing some TP gear for it. I'll add pictures for merit party later too. I'll edit this if I get another merit party later tonight.

3 merits in this party, chain ended at #116 which I did not get >.>

I got a night merit party and it was pretty good. Was surprised because there were a lot of people seeking and was about to quit for the night when I got a /tell from a THF asking for a party. I'm not picky about parties just as long as I get exp/limit points. Overall it was pretty good. I got a total of 2 merits in the party, so not a bad day with 5 merits total which brings my grand total to 213 merits gained. More to come!

Leveling and Back to Dynamis

I finished leveling RDM at 41, going to stop for now until I decide I want to pick it up again. I also did some leveling on my WHM just got one level to 39. On Sunday I did Dynamis with VanadielsFinest, seemed the best choose with my current schedule as it is. It started off slow with the gathering time with us being short. After awhile though more people start to show and we got ready to enter. I also saw a few people I knew in the LS probably because the time is around the time when they usually do their Dynamis. Dynamis is the same as I remembered it, and it reminded me why I carry reraise pins with me with 4 deaths in Jeuno. Still not the record of 10 deaths I had in Windy.

I'll try to get the pictures up I took from yesterday on soon. Until then.

Red Mage Leveling

Well more leveling on my RDM has turned productive and is currently 39. Leveling turned out to be much quicker than I thought, I was lucky to get some good parties. I guess mages do get parties quicker. On Wednesday I got from 31 to 35 and Thursday I got from 36 to 39. I hope to get 40 tomorrow and stop, then maybe start on SAM or level WHM to 42 for some taxi service.

More to come later, thats all for now for my quick report.

Nice Trip and Leveling RDM

Got back from my trip yesterday and the first thing I did was order some Chinese food because after a week of crappy food I needed something good. After that the second thing I did was play FFXI. Not sure if I said this before but leveling between 20-40 is hell these days. Not many people looking to level around these levels. However, still I mange to get some leveling done usually a 1 or 2 levels during my limited playtime. Right now my RDM is 29 hope to get it to 37 soon.

Anyways the trip was fun because I spent it with friends I haven't seen since I was in high school. Mostly what we did was drive around during the day and partying at a night club at night. I was kinda sad when it was over because mostly of them live out of state now. Overall was a great trip, but there is no place like home.

I hope to balance out some playtime with work, but it gets hard. However, I told some people that my brother plays my character more because he is getting bored with WoW. He was the first owner of Jediknight when FFXI first came out for PC. However he quit, and I took over after a few months when he bought the game. In fact I didn't like the character so I deleted it and remodeled him. But, he said he may join a LS so he can do more stuff than leveling. Not sure which kind of ls he wants to join but I suggested to stay with people I know in game. But, if you see Jediknight running around give a poke could be my brother or me.

lolWoW

Ok... so I flaked and I got hooked on WoW. I was wondering how the game play was so I did the 14 days free trial and got hooked. I have a 40 NE Druid and 40 NE Warrior, I was planning to level them more until I heard of the new updates to FFXI and a new expansion coming soon. I then decided to get back on FFXI to catch up on things. But before I can play more I have a to Canada then its playtime. However, there is another problem I got a job so I won't be playing my hardcore hours, but my brother is playing my characters mostly my mules so you may see Jediknight on but it could be my brother.

Anyways a quick update is my RDM is lvl 23 right now got about 3 lvls tonight. I'm going to try for 24 soon before turning in for the night. I also got to see an old friend online in FFXI land Jobe who is a Bigfun ls mate who was sucked into WoW. I also got caught up with a few friends I haven't see in a month when I was WoWing.

So that's all for now, I'll report back in a week after my trip. I'll see you all when I see you.
