Week of January 20 to 27

Another week without daily updates. I guess I'm getting lazy with daily updates, but here is my last week.

Saturday and Sunday I joined a Salvage LS, and like Dynamis drop rate is low so it will take time. The LS is new so there will be problems, but I hope that will fix itself out later.

Monday was nothing, I logged in late at night to farm for some gil and then logged out. Tuesday was Genbu x1, but then we found Zippy was up so we killed it and did another Genbu. With that we now had 4 Kirin sets so we have 2 sets for Wednesday.

Wednesday I joined Celv's Limbus LS because I can't make Dream's schedule. Wednesday was the first run for me and we did Temenos, was fun to do Limbus with friends again. After Limbus was Kirin x2 and drops were for the first Kirin was pole and gil, then second Kirin was Osode, D.body, and pole. We will do gil split next week now we got money from minis last week and past stuff we did.

Thursday was Sea/Sky and I was with the Sea group. We were able to pop Ix'Aerns DRG and DRK, but no cape dropped, just deeds. Sky group was unable to get anything since another LS cleared Sky NMs.

Friday Dynamis was canceled because of lack of funds, I have to admit that is not a good sign and usually signals trouble. Hopefully I'm reading too much into this.

Saturday was Salvage and again and this time we did 2 runs. First run didn't go too well and second run we got 2 drops. After Salvage I did 3 tags of Assault with Salvage LS members.

Sunday was Limbus and we did two zones Apollyon NE and Temenos N. No Apollyon NIN material dropped, but I heard Temenos NIN material did. I however need Apollyon. When the run ended we got a total of 101 coins and the split was 5 each with the extra of 14 banked. Later on in the day was Salvage and this run was like the first run yesterday. 14 people were there but I think we did more with 8 people yesterday. Leadership said this is the last time we will be doing Salvage in big groups. 7-8 people groups will be the max I think.

Minis and Dynamis

Last Wednesday we did Seiryu x2, Byakko x4. The Seiryu minis fell pretty easily and dropped equipment for ls members, unfortunately no D.head dropped and the line for it is still so long. I really hope D.head drops soon because its becoming annoying, I swear getting my Byakko Haidate was easier than waiting for the D.head. Anyways, after Seiryu was Byakko x4 and it was a bit more exciting. Its been awhile since I tanked Byakko and I've made some mistakes losing hate at times during the first Byakko. However, team work with other members was lacking so it wasn't any one person's fault. After the first Byakko, the other three fell easier but unfortunately only 1 Byakko Haidate dropped out of the 4 we did.

After Sky I did Apollyon SE solo and got 6 coins out of it however my network crashed for 1 hour when I was on the last slime so I couldn't pop the chest for material items.

Thursday was Sky/Sea farming, however my brother had a problem so I couldn't log in to help out with farming.

Friday was Dynamis-Windy and it was bad, we were off but mostly because of bad mistakes and carelessness. AF2 that dropped was only BST. Hopefully the next run will be better.

Saturday I solo Apollyon SE again, however I was too careless and awhile looking awhile at the TV I didn't see I was low and shadows and died... Oh well, loss of 10k or so since I only killed 4 slimes and got 2 coins.

Schedule so far is Tuesday Genbu or maybe farming, Wednesday Limbus and Kirin, Thursday Sea/Sky farming or maybe Kirin, Friday Dynamis, Saturday Salvage, and Sunday Limbus. That's what my week should look like. I'll add pictures hopefully soon.

Ok... Quick Run Through

I have no idea where to begin, so I will probably be editing this later to add stuff I forgot. A recap is I didn't play much most of December. More accurately I played much less since it was December, my favorite month but now the holiday season is over I'm playing a bit more.

I'll add stuff that I did to this post, but a quick run through would be I did Sky, Dynamis, and solo Limbus zones. On my free time I farmed and crafted a bit. I hope to plan a bit more so I can complete my AF +1 gloves for NIN and also to lvl PLD to 75.

I believe my last post was about 12/11/07, so a recap starting from 12/12/07.

Wednesday 12/12/07, we did Seiryu and Byakko. As we usually do in Rawr the PLDs tanked Seiryu and NINs did Byakko. Don't remember the drops, but this was around the time when Jussy's account got hacked so it was kinda of a depressing time. After Sky I took a break and later at night I did Apollyon SE solo, got 6 coins but no NIN material.

Thursday 12/13/07 was Sea/Sky farming. I remember Sea being bored to death since the NM we were trying to pop never showed up. Sky group did ok I heard, but not much.

Friday 12/14/07 was Dynamis - Windy, was a decent run with a few AFs (NIN, BST, PLD, WAR, BLM x2, SMN) and we got the win for people who needed. The next two runs would be Northland runs, so we were excited.

Tuesday 12/18/07 was Sky farming, but I didn't attend because I was out with family doing stuff.

Wednesday 12/19/07 was Kirin x2, I was kiting again and didn't die this run. I forgot the drops, but I can look it up and edit it for later.

Thursday 12/20/07 was farming again, but I didn't attend because of family stuff.

Friday 12/21/07 was Dynamis - Beaucedine for the first time and we only got BST AF2, we were close to the win but lost at the last minute to dragons returning.

From 12/22/07 to 12/29/07 I was busy with family and friends so I didn't log in FFXI.

Friday 1/04/08 was Dynamis - Sandy, on this run we wiped like 2 times. 1 to a unslept avatar and the other was to a really big pull. I'm not sure with what AF that dropped but it was like 3-5.
Sunday 1/06/08 was Apollyon SE and I got 75 coins for a Boxer's Mantle.

Tuesday 1/08/08 was Sky farming, but I arrived like 1 hour late. But it was a good night for farming as they got most of the NMs in Sky and pop items for NMs too.

Wednesday 1/09/08 was Sky farming again, not much this night but still it was nice to do Sky again.

Thursday 1/10/08 I was busy so I didn't log in.

Friday 1/11/08 was Dynamis - Jeuno and we got lots of AF2, NIN AF dropped but my lot was low so lost it.

Tonight was popping NMs for complete sets and 2 Suzy and 1 Seiryu pop. We got some good money drops and a few members got their gear. Tomorrow is minis again.
