Update, Holiday Season Coming

With the new expansion released and the Holiday season here playtime on some of my events have been canceled. As you all know last week was Thanksgiving week so I didn't play much, or rather not many of my events happened because of cancellation. Like Assault, my Assault static hasn't done much the last few weeks because Myrrh was in the hospital sick and Galaika's busy real life schedule. Also with the expansion here its the new thing crazy all over again. It always happens when a new expansion is released. People are crazed and rush into the expansion to see what its all about. But its expected because new things are always fun to experience, and also its a fast way to earn gil. This is seen on ffxiah.com where prices for items have gone up and new items from the expansion are up on the AH for crazy amounts of gil. This is also expected though since people want the new things quickly, and they will pay insane amounts of money just to have it.

Anyways, with the expansion having been released for a week, I'm slowly getting back into my usual playtime. However, expect another slow down as Christmas and New Years approach. With that, this week has been like this so far.

Monday was suppose to be Assault, but Myrrh wasn't online, Skaw was busy with the new content, and Galaika was downloading the update. So Baja called it for the night and Assault was canceled. Hopefully we will hit Nyzul soon, but we need to finish FL missions for Nyo and Galaika first.

Tuesday was Sky farming and we got SC and a few water. I heard everything was killed before our farming session even started so I decided to skip the rest of the night and farm for some web before logging for the day.

Wednesday was Kirin and it took awhile for everyone to gather for it as usually. However when it did start it was the usual for us, a nice smooth run finishing around 45mins and the drops were N.body for Dar, Osode for Starks, and S.cloth for the bank.

Today was Sky/Sea farming for Rawr, but before that I was doing Assault first. We started 1 hour late because we were waiting for Myrrh and when he finally got there we did the Khimera FL mission for the first tag. It was going pretty well, until we hit 25% and it started to spam his special move. In the end we wiped, but still I believe we could have won if we were abit more careful. The second tag was a past mission someone needed, but we failed and so we tried again for a third tag and got it done. I hope the next Assault run is Nyzul Isle, but it will probably be FL missions for Galaika and Nyo.

After Assault I went up to Sky, and from what I heard over ls chat we got Despot before I got there. When I got to Sky the others were heading to SC and I joined to help. However I believe we missed SC because from what Miya saw the other two LS in the zone were gone when we got there so they must have killed SC. Still we got Despot and now have 3 sets of each mini. Tomorrow is Dynamis, but I can't go because I have to baby sit my baby niece. Saturday I'll be off the game because of my niece's 1st Birthday Party! Sunday is Limbus and I'll try to remember to wake up on time for it.

Week Off and Hope Everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving

I basically I got this week off because of the Thanksgiving holiday. However, I did do some things ingame this week. Tuesday was Sky farming but we only got SC and everthing else was dead so farming was cut short. Wednesday I took off because of shopping, I was trying to pick out a gift for my baby niece. Later that night though I tried to solo Temenos North, but ran out of time with the last trigger mob at 25%. But since that was my second time doing a solo run I learned a few things and I'm going to adjust. Next run I'll get it done hopefully and get a NIN material item. Thursday was Thanksgiving so I took that off, and Friday was suppose to be Dynamis, but was cancelled so I farmed all day for money. Next week should be back to my usual schedule online, so until then later all.

Old Assault Missions, Sea popping and Dynamis Jeuno

Thursday was Assault again, but we only did old runs so it was kinda boring. We did the fishing mission again for Nyo and won both. We tried the Divisor Ring mission, but with only 3 we lost. I hope we can do some Nyzul Isle soon again.

After Assault, which was quicker than usual, I went to Sea for popping while some other Rawr members went to Sky for farming. I'm not sure what the Sky people were able to get, but we at Sea did Fortitude x2 and also a Ix'Aern Monk. Celv's toon was able to get a Fortitude Torque, but was personally not here because he was at the Fan Fest. All in all though it was fun to do Sea again.

Currently my interest in FFXI are: Assault Nyzul Isle, Limbus, and Dynamis. I would like to do Salvage but I would need to quit my static and find a group to do it with. But right now I don't have funds to buy the material to upgrade the gear in Salvage, so its Nyzul Isle as my first propriety. I also plan to level PLD again as soon as possible, so I've been farming more for PLD gear.

Yesterday was Dynamis Jeuno and White, Hyre, and Dou were at the Fan Fest so others had to setup pts and organize stuff. However the run was smooth, except for the end were some RDMs were dead or asleep and we wiped cause one summon was awake and 2hr'd. This happened during the pull at AH, but we could have killed the entire pull, it was just bad luck for us. Still it was productive night with lots of coins for Zel, and 3 AF2 dropping (RDM, WAR, SAM). Next Friday is our first trip to Northlands, hope it goes well.

Assault Farming, Sky Farming, Kirin x2

Monday was Assault and we only had 4 people with Myrrh and Galaika still gone. So for 4 tags we did farming for points. Nothing special, just did some easy past missions for quick points. Hopefully Myrrh and Galaika will be back on Thursday so we can do some Nyzul Isle or FL missions. Something harder than those kiddy missions.

Tuesday was Sky farming and it turned out better than last Tuesday. We got Despot first right when farming started, then we got MG and Faust. We also popped my Diorite and spent the rest of the night farming for more Diorite since SC and Zippy were killed.

Today was Kirin x2 and I was finally up for N.body! Kirins these days are easy now with all the new members we have. Usually we get 25-30 people now, when I joined it was 18-24 with a few people dual boxing. Anyways the Kirins dropped easily and I got my N.body! Gid also got a N.body on the second Kirin and Blue Osode. Thursday is Assault and Sea, and I'm hoping we do Nzyul because I like some boots!

Assault on Thursday, Dynamis Bastok Friday, Limbus Sunday

Thursday was Assault again, but Galaika couldn't join us so Baja asked anyone in his LS if they wanted to come and do Nyzul Isle for boots. Unfortunately nothing dropped for us again, and we did 3 tags worth of it. I really do hope we get better drops next time so we can try to do other floors for those item pieces.

Friday was Dynamis at Bastok. I was confused a little since it was suppose to be Sandy but I guess we switched with Limitless since they were the first to post for Bastok. Anyways we did Bastok and cleared it pretty easily. Again we got some new recruits and hopefully they will stay for awhile. We still need more BLMs though but that's normal in Dynamis. Its hard finding BLMs that are not in a Dynamis LS already, or finding BLMs willing to do Dynamis since that job class dies probably the most in Dynamis.

Today in the morning was Limbus again with Dreams and still no NIN material for me. I'm only running with them one day a week so its expected, so I guess the only solution is to solo Limbus for NIN items on Wednesday or skip Sky on Wednesday and do Limbus with Dreams. But if I do skip Wednesday it will probably be after I get a N.body and D.head. Tomorrow is Assault again, but no idea if its FL missions for Galaika and Nyo or Nyzul Isle.

Assault Galaika's Return, Sky Farming, and Kirin x3

Monday was Assault again and this time Galaika was able to show up so we did past missions he needed. I would have liked to have done Nyzul Isle for boots, but points are also good for me. Thursday if Galaika is able to join we will be doing FL missions for him, or Nyzul Isle Assault again.

Tuesday was Sky farming and we didn't get much. I was in Sky a bit early so I scouted for NMs and saw MG killed and Faust wasn't up. No officers were on at start so we farmed at Despot, but then more people showed up so we split up and did Despot and SC. Unfortunately Despot popped for another LS, so one group did SC while another did farming for water. I was in the water group and we got one water and then decided to pop Olla while we were there. We were also able to kill MG during off time farming hours since we got ToD of her, so it wasn't a complete waste of a night.

Today we did Kirin x3 since we had more then 30 people for the night. We were only suppose to do 2 but with such a great attendance why not do another. Unfortunately the drops for the last two were not so great, but we still have another 3 sets of Kirin so hopefully we will get better drops next time. Anyways for the first Kirin we got N.body and S.cloth, second was D.ingot and O.ingot, and third was D.body and Pole. Tomorrow is Assault again and Sea popping if I get there in time, otherwise I may do Sky if the Sea people are too far in.

Assault Nyzul Isle and Suzaku x5, Dynamis Windurst, Rostrum Pumps Run, and Limbus

Thursday started off with Assault Nyzul Isle and again we invited someone from outside the static to join us on the run. We did 3 tags at Nyzul Isle, but the first tag we didn't make it to the boss with 5 mins left and we still needed 2 more floors. However we did win the last 2 tags but nothing dropped for us. Hopefully Monday we will get to do Nyzul Isle again for boots.

After Assault was Sky and since Assault usually takes longer then it is suppose to with waiting for people to show up, I was late again 1 hour for Sky. Anyways, I got to Sky and they killed Byakko x2, and I think both dropped B.panties. I was waiting at Suzaku with the other late people since again we had close to 30 people. Long story short we made quick work of Suzaku x5 and now have 6 Kirin sets. This Wednesday we will be doing Kirin x2 and Thursday will be our first Sea popping.

Friday was Dynamis at Windy and this time we had close to 30 people on this run. Mostly because of all the new recruits we got, but still we had the man power now. We did wipe once though with someone aggroin' the mobs at the house, but other then that we did well. We got the win and only 2 AF this time but Windy is like that with AF. Next Dynamis is at Sandy and I believe after that Jeuno.

Over the weekend was a few events. Saturday was the Rostrum Pumps run setup by Gene. The run went well with 12 people getting Rostrum Pumps including me. Javir tanked most of the time and I backed up, I died a few times but it was fun and it was worth the deaths to get everyone there new shoes. It took 6 hours with 22 people I think from first pop to 16 people on the last pop. Sunday was Limbus and we did Omega, it was my first Omega and it died pretty quickly. I wanted to farm for NIN material, but they put me in Omega alliance instead so after the fight I decided just to log to do some stuff around the house. Next Sunday I hope NIN material drop and I get a good lot.
