Bah, Missing Updates...

I'm missing updates again! I guess it's because its almost the end of the year, but I'm becoming like Zeth and Neo on updating blogs. But it's December and it's one of my faviorite months in the year. I will try to update tomorrow, but it won't be much since I haven't logged in FFXI much. Anyways, Happy Holidays readers if I still have any...

Last Week and Half of this Week

I missed out on updating most of last week since I'm getting lazy updating this blog every day.

Anyways, starting from last Wednesday we did Sea popping and Sky farming. I was apart of the Sea popping and we did Jailer of Faith. It took like 45 mins to find the ??? to pop it and I died like 3 times trying to scout for it. However, when we did find it we had to move quickly because it moves every 15 mins and it was only a couple of mins before it would move. So Aal popped it right after we finished killing adds and aggros, but the WHM were low on MP so it took time for us to get it down. When we did get it down though we got all drops but the torque. Next time hopefully we will get the torque to drop. For the rest of the night at Sea we farmed for chips since a few people had to leave. After Sea, I did Limbus Temenos North solo for NIN material. And again I would beat it with 10 mins left and the NIN material dropped this time! Next Wednesday I will do Apollyon SE which is much easier compared to Temenos North.

Last Thursday was Assault and we were suppose to do FL missions, but Galaika didn't show so we did Nyzul Isle boot runs again. We did 3 tags I believe and the first 2 tags we didn't get any boots to drop, but the 3rd run we got a boot to drop and it was Denali Gamashes! I lotted a high 900 and won the boots! So far since I joined the static we are like 3/25ish on floor 20 for boots. After Assault was Sea farming, but I was a bit late so I joined in the middle of the farming session.

Last Friday was Dynamis at Jeuno and it was the same old thing. We kill stuff, we laugh, I kite and hit stuff. I can't wait for Northlands since I got pretty much all I want from the Cities. AFs that dropped were RNG, BLM, RDM, WHM. I dc'd at the end of the run so I don't know if anything else dropped. Next Dynamis is at Windy.

Over last weekend I didn't do anything since I got my new xbox 360. I wanted to log in on Sunday morning for Limbus with Dreams, but I overslept again! I should really set my alarm clock.

Monday was Assault and again Galaika didn't show so we did 3 tags of Nyzul Isle for boots again. However, the usual happened, no boots dropped.

Today was Minis Genbu and Suzy. We did Suzy x2 and then Genbu x4. Sky Minis are getting boring for me really, I tanked Suzy and sat for Genbu since PLDs in Rawr tank it. Anyways, we got lots of drops and made some members happy. Tomorrow is the rest of the Minis we have.

Quick Update

I just wanted to do a quick update on what's been going on before I post a more detailed update on the past week later today. Anyways, to start this post I would like to talk about the hacked accounts that many of you may have heard about.

If you have been following news from qcdn or any other FFXI related site, there have been reports of players' accounts being hacked. This all happened around last week, and one player stated that a trojan or virus on ads in ffxiah.com and wiki.ffxiclopedia.org are how they were hacked. A friend of mine Jussy got his account hacked and moved to another server over last weekend. Currently he is trying to recover his character and hopefully some of his gear, and if he does not get his character back he will probably quit the game. Anyways, I just wanted to spread caution to people and be careful with where you browse. Also to update your computer and do regular scans to keep it clean. Try not to click any ads and keep to search engines.

Also, an update on my playtime. Currently I'm playing 360 since I got it last week, I've only logged in FFXI for events like Assault, Sky, Sea, Limbus, and Dynamis. Also with the Holiday season FFXI time will be limited more. I will probably play more FFXI soon since most of the games I got for the 360 I have beaten pretty quickly. Anyways, I'll try to do a more detailed update on things I did last week later today. Stay safe everyone.

Sunday Solo Limbus, Monday Assault, Tuesday Sky Farming

Sunday I did Limbus solo because I had do drop off my parents in the morning, making me miss Dream's run. So when I got back home I did Temenos North and got the 1st Floor done with 10 mins left. That's the fastest I did the floor so far, but it was pretty easy since neither Goblin did much DA or WS moves. Unfortunately I didn't get a NIN material again, but I did get a MNK material.

Monday was Assault and we did 2 past missions for Myrrh and 1 tag for Nyzul Isle. No boots dropped on Nyzul again, but we did win the 2 missions for Myrrh. Thursday I believe we will try to finish off the FL missions for Nyo and Galaika.

Tonight was Sky farming, but like last Tuesday most of the NMs died before our farm session started. Still we were able to collect a few ToDs on a few NMs, and until the windows opened we popped BB and Olla. After popping BB and Olla, the first window that reopened was MG and we killed her. Farming was over once we killed MG, but a few of us stayed over since we had Faust's ToD. So once 40 mins into Faust's window he popped and we killed him in a textbook fashion. To wrap up the night we check Zippy and he was up too and killed him as well. Not a bad night for overtime farming. Tomorrow is Sky farming for Sky only people, and Sea popping for the Sky/Sea people.
