Week's Stuff!

Tuesday was sky farming and when I logged in I had some time before going to sky, so I decided to farm a bit for mermaid parts. When gathering time approached I headed to sky with hopes of getting some NMs because the last 2 farming days we got nothing. However I did not need to worry because it turned out to be a pretty good night for sky farming. Having heard that Despot popped 30mins before we got to sky we decided to camp SC. We got lucky with SC because it popped during our first detector pull. After SC we sent scouts to Faust and MG and when both arrived we found that both of them were up. We processed to killed MG first then escaped and killed Faust next. Just when were we about to call it a night we decided to camp Despot while I went back to change my job to RNG to wide scan for Zippy. But by the time I got back they killed Despot. And they already sent a scout to check Byakko island for Zippy. So I ran down to Genbu island to scan but a ls mate saw Zippy and we kill him and called it a night.

Wednesday was suppose to be Kirin, but with only 17 people we decided to pop minis instead. We popped 2 Seriyu first, and then killed BB for a complete Suzaku set then killed Suzaku. I tanked Suzaku with Khajit and it was fun. I'm working on a magic defense setup and I wanted to try it out but it needs more testing. We saved the Byakko set for later because it got late and because we heard TheFlock was at Byakko popping 5 of them.

Today was Assault and Sky (Kirin or farming). But I got a call from my brother asking if I wanted to come over and watch my niece so I said yes. I did Assault before going because I didn't want to keep the static held up. We did 3 missions of Sergeant before I left for my brother's house. The missions we did were: Stop the Bloodshed, Imperial Treasure Retrieval, and Supplies Recovery. The mission Stop the Bloodshed was just killing 35 chigoes in 30mins. It turned out harder though then we thought because 4 people in our party died, but we still won with a few mins left. Imperial Treasure Retrieval was just like a game of tag, or capture the flag with jewels. Which ever side, us or the enemy, recovers the most jewels wins. And finally Supplies Recovery was just killing imps for supplies they drop, but the trick is we have to recover more supplies then the immortals who are also killing imps. Overall it good day with 3 wins in Assault, and if all goes well on Monday we will be able to do SM promotion quest.

Sunday is Dyanmis so until then I'll be taking a break, maybe pop on to farm some. Anyways later till next post.

Silver run, Apocalypse Nigh, Dynamis Beaucedine, ToAU 29, Assault

Saturday morning I did a Silver run with Blabj's group. Was fun but we waited a bit because only 5 of the 12 people showed up. 2 people I heard transfered out of the server. Anyways, after that I logged off to start on the new Harry Potter Book.

Silver run, was pretty easy now with the update they did with CoP.

Sunday morning I did Apocalypse Nigh with Blabj's group, we did 4 tries and on the fourth we finally won. We basically killed the kid first really fast and wiped south and kill the guy. The fight was fun, but doing it 4 times was discoraging. However, through preserves and hard work we won in the end.

CS before the fight.

After AN I did Dynamis-Beaucedine in the afternoon. It has been a few months since I did it and nothing much has changed, only 1 AF2 droped and only like 1/4 of the money droped covers the 1m to enter the area. Still was fun with only 26 people or so. After that I logged to finish Book 7 of Harry Potter... >.>

I was getting touched...

Monday was a bit busy. At noon I had just logged on and I saw Doth shout for ToAU 29 and I said sure. Unable to find anyone else we decided to duo. First try we got it at 8% but knew we needed help because he spams his special move that goes throw shadows at 20%. However, Doth was able to get someone from his LS who needed it and decided to help us. Nicholette arrived on BLU and we entered in and tried again. This try he was going down faster, but I was unable to keep hate on me and we wiped on 25%. Third try Nicholette changed to BLM and we entered again. This run was much better and won the fight. We were going to try for 30 and 31 missions, but I had Assault so I had to say no.

Third times the charm, won this time.

Assault we did 2 Corporal missions, and one repeat for farming. After the runs I was able to get the Sergeant promotion quest. The missions we did were Building Bridges and Searat Salvation x2. Building Bridges was just running around and hitting switches while not getting captured. Building Bridges was an Escort mission. The farming was Lamia No.13, the one where I just watch. I did not fight anything, however, Skaw got to kill Myrrh... o.O Pictures later.

We got lost alittle.

Nothing New

Nothing new to report, I had to take care of the baby on Thursday so I didn't play at all. Nor could I even if I tried because she is a hand full. It was still a fun day, just not in game, but I can never say no to my niece because she is so CUTE!

Friday I didn't do anything just relaxed, until I logged on for a merit party at night and got 2 merits out of it. Need 5 merits more to add an upgrade to STR. Saturday is a silver run, then I'll a break before work. Sunday is Dynamis if nothing comes up.

Meriting party, I skilled up my parrying 2 levels with 2 merits from this party.

What's Been Going On.

I've been doing the same stuff this week: Monday Assault, Tuesday Sky farming, Wednesday Sky. However, I have been NM camping a bit more for some items I need. I've also been farming for items for quest reward equipment and force pops. I started off by farming for an air tank, which I was lucky and got pretty quickly on the second kill. Now I need to look up a few people to see if they can help me with the NM. I also been farming for mermaid parts for the ring. After those two I've been trying to figure out Eastern Shadow's window, and also I've been keeping an eye out for full and new moons for S.bow. Later today be Assault and Sky again, and I'll probably take a break until Dynamis on Sunday. Pictures later, until next post.

Me hunting for an Air Tank, lucky drop.

Me trying to get some mermaid parts.

More pictures of my mermaid parts hunt.

Dynamis Windurst

Sunday was Dynamis and we ran Windurst this time because our new people needed the win to enter Northlands. Overall it was a good run with only 30 people, but we did have a good mix of veterans and new players. The drops were NIN, WHMx2, and WAR AF2. I got the NIN AF2 putting me at 1/5 for NIN relic. I had a good time with the run, a good mix of humor and getting the win. Next Sunday is Beaucedine, and I hope NIN drops there too so I can move up the ladder in that zone. Pictures later.

NIN AF2 dropped for me in Windy.

Win for us.

Thursday and Friday

Thursday was busy now that I joined a Assault static and Sky LS. In Assault we did LC missions, earlier then I thought because I thought Galaika need a few more points before doing LC. But I was happy never the less because they were catching up to me. We did 3 runs of LC missions, first was Shanarha Grass Conservation in which you just kill like 20 rabbits in 30mins. Then we did Shooting Down the Baron where you kill a NM imp in 15mins, and then last was Demolition Duty where you escort an automaton to destroy 5 shipwrecks. On Monday if we win the next 2 LC missions they can do the C promotion quest and on Thursday we can do C missions. Or we could farm LC missions and on Thursday Nyle or whatever Galaika decides.

After Assault I ahead to sky, I was late because my static has the potential to go over into sky time. But I was asked to NIN because for Byakko they use NINs to main tank it. It was fun because in CK they usually let the PLDs tank everything, sometimes NINs tank but mostly it was the PLDs. It was my first but Khajit and Jussy helped me out, and I just went along with what they did. I learn more watching them and figuring out their styles in tanking then ever before because the kitty is dangerous. I got to tank 1 run and a half, the first pop I was with Jussy, then she died and Khajit came in. The second I sat out as back up, and the third time I was main with Khajit and around like 60% I started to DC. I swear I have bad timing when I DC. But when I got back on they killed it fine. The experience was fun, but the drops sucked because no b.haidates dropped out of 3 runs. Next week I believe we farm on Tuesday and Wednesday/Thursday depending on attendance is Kirin.

Friday was a free day but in short I just merited and relaxed before work. I got 4 merits total, 2 in a morning party and 2 in a afternoon party. Pictures later.

Wednesday Gods

Wednesday morning I did a quick merit party as and got 1merit before the party dispanded. I decided to farm/mine the rest of the time while waiting for sky later on today and the loot I got during that mining run was the best so far. I got about 300-350k in profit from that quick mining run. A few more and I'll be ready for SAM leveling.

Afternoon approached I did Gods with Rawr. We popped Seiryu twice, Genbu once, and Suzaku twice with 17-18 people. Its been awhile since I did Gods with only 1 alliance. Their game plan was similar to how CK ran it. And it went pretty smoothly overall, using winds helped us a lot, but their game play also helped. They all had fun and were good killing the guys quickly.

I was a NIN during those runs, and I mostly just meleed the first three runs because the PLDs tanked Seiryu and Genbu. However, Suzaku was tanked by NINs. The first pop was a bit hairy. The BLMs didn't have a stun order to stop the ag's, and I was catch off guard from the start since I rarely tanked when I was in CK. But what killed me and a few others was his 2hr and spamming FiregaIII x5... Stun gunner died so it turned bad, but they didn't panic and they rode it out. They second pop Jussy and I tanked it better, however, around 30% I crashed and had to restart my computer. But I did not need to worry because they had it done by the time I got back. They drops were nice and congratulations to those who go something.

Tomorrow is Byakko x3 or x4, and they say next week is Kirin. I also have Assault tomorrow so it will be a busy day.

I also got a night merit party for 1merit before they disbanded, it was getting late anyways. Pictures later.

Monday Assault Repeat and Tuesday Sky Farming

Monday was Assault night with Galaika's group. I joined them last week to catch up on Assault points for some items I like to get and also to rank up a bit. The group is pretty spread out rank wise, but we are close to LC missions. I think only Galaika needs a few more points before LC promotion quest. I'm like 10 points away to Sergeant promotion quest, but I still have to wait for the others to rank up faster. Anyways, we did 3 runs of Assault on Monday, 1 was Saving Private Ryaaf for the first time for some and the other 2 were for points on Troll Fugitives.

Today was Sky farming with Rawr, I'm trying out with them for a more casual end gaming in Sky since my schedule keeps changing. We popped Ulli fours times, popped Olla once and BB once. I believe Wednesday and Thursday we kill minis. I like to try for D.head, but since I just joined I'll wait until the next run with minis. I'll build points for the lot until then. The other items I like to try for are N.body and W.Legs, but they require more points so I'll have to wait.

Waiting for repop on ??? for Ulli.

Four autumnstones.

I've been farming more to save up on money for items I need for NIN and RNG. Also for gear for SAM which I'll be leveling soon. I've been fishing more too, its been fun but after awhile you get tired. I've been fishing to music to try and make it more entertaining... I'll post up pictures later.

Dynamis and 3 Merits

It's been the same old thing for me lately, meriting and farming. I've been saving gil for few things I still need for my NIN and RNG, and also money for gear for my next job to 75. So to that end I've been crafting and farming more. I also being meriting more so I can cap RNG and start a new fun job. Anyways, this morning I got a merit party that got me 2 merits, it was decent start for the day before Dynamis later on in the day.

Dynamis started a bit late because we were waiting for a leader or officer to show up and more members to showing up too. The turnout however for Bastok was better, about 31 people showed up. Much better then the Jeuno run where we barely had enough. In this run though, I died a few time, however, that's normal in Dynamis. The run went smoothly with a rain of 3 MNK AF2 at the start. Then later on a BST AF2, 3 PLD AF2, another MNK AF2, BRD AF2, and a RDM AF2.

Some issues with how lotting and money distribution is done was brought up before and after the run. I was glad because I had the same questions. Basically from what I understand is that your give a cut of gil from the coins and 100 coins that drop during that run. And you only get a split of the money made if you already have your AF2 from that zone, or it doesn't drop from that zone. If your AF2 does drop in the zone of the current run you don't get a split of the gil made. It sounded fine to me since I originally joined because I just wanted to get some AF2 pieces for my jobs, and also so I didn't have to pay for the hourglass.

After Dynamis I decided to seek to regain lost exp and merit more. The party setup seemed good, but it must have not been my night. I died two times costing me like 5k in limit points because every time I died I would become uncapped. If it weren't for those 2 deaths I would have gotten 2 merits, but the party only yielded 1 merit. Anyways I'll post pictures up later. Tomorrow is Assault hopefully and Tuesday farming. Night!

More on Thursday

Just a quick add to what I did on Thursday night. I join an Assault static for I'm hoping some ranking up and points. We only had 4 people on so we farmed and did 3 runs of Ilrusi Atoll's Golden Salvage. I believe they are all SP so I'll have to wait a bit for them to catch up to me.

Got the figurehead first chest...

I also did Sky with Rawr, but was late a bit because I had some personal stuff to do before farming. I got a merit during the farming and so my total now is 217.

More Meriting

Just a quick post of what I've been doing this week. Mostly I've been meriting in the mornings and I haven't been able to do much of anything else in game because of work and personal stuff. I have been helping out a friend move and it took much longer then I thought it would. However we are done finally and he is fishing up unpacking his things.

Monday I did an early merit party and got 2 merits out of it. It was a decent party but it was kinda slow going because the area was pack with 2 other parties. But it was nice because I had time to browse the web and play at the same time... I didn't go in game for Tuesday and Wednesday much because I was moving a that friend of mine. But today being the first day I got to spend more time in game I got 1 merit out of a morning party, which would have been 2 but I was careless and died during the first pull. So I'm a bit short of another merit. My total is now 216 merits and I'm currently working on meriting for Ranger and Combat Skills.

This was the merit party where the SAM had the relic Gkatana, Tachi: Kaiten, Player Vira.

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.

More Questing

I'm finishing up my questing today. I feel like doing some leveling soon so I'm going to stop questing for a bit. But, I did do all the quests I could do solo for Sandy which I'm almost done with all the quests for that nation. I'm also done with all the easy quests for Bastok, and all that's left are those long series quests and quests that require lots of travel time. In Jeuno its the same deal as Bastok, I just have those long series quests left and quests that take travel time. Overall this week of questing was fun.

Like I said I'll be leveling my RDM to 37 and after maybe level SAM to 37. I'll add more pictures later on the quests I did. Some of the quests had an interesting story, mostly the new quests that came out with CoP and ToAU expansion.

Questing

The pass few days I have been questing in Whitegate, Sandy, and Bastok. Also, I must say I ran across a very strange and disturbing quest in Whitegate. Its one where three men fall in love with each other... But its a long story so you have to do the quest to get the details.

This is the end of that weird quest "Three Men and a Closet"

Basically all three of those guys were in love because of a potion.

Anyways, a quick recap on my pass two or three days is I got level 20 on RDM first before I started my questing. The reason being for my questing is that I wanted to catch up with my quests for some time, and since I'm not in any end game ls now it seemed the time to catch up is now. So, I started off doing the new quests in Sandy first, and also did a check list on any quests I missed there.

The quest "A Timely Visit"

The ending for "A Timely Visit" a nice story behind the quest.

After doing quests in Sandy, I stopped by Al Zahbi and Whitegate to catch up on the quests there. I flagged and did all the easy quests, and saved the harder ones where I need a 70+ job or a party of people to complete it for later. I than stopped in Bastok to do quests there. I first stopped by all the zones to flag all the quests I could, and than I started doing the easy quests. I'm currently still doing them because most of them require traveling.

Quest in how the Skyserpent General came to be. Nice quest on the background of him.

The General asking for MY NAME! (I'm a nerd >.>)

I think after I'm done with Bastok's quests I'll stop by Jeuno to catch up on those quests, and than I'll stop for now and level some. I'll save Windy for last because the nation is just so big. I'm probably going to continue RDM until 37, then work on my SAM after I finish with quests for Jeuno. I'll upload some pictures of quests I did later on tonight. Till next update.

Breeding Chocobo and Leveling Red Mage

I'm trying fraps on another computer to see if I can get some pictures. Anyways the pass few days I've been playing my Red Mage, working on my Chocobo, and doing some fishing. Right now my Red Mage is 17 hope to get it close to 19 by tomorrow. I also Breeded my two chocobos for a new egg. My male Black Chocobo and Yellow female Chocobo. I hope to get a Green or Red Chocobo female, but I understand it is only 30% chance for a color Chocobo. Anyways I'll upload the pictures of my Chocobo and me leveling soon if fraps works on this computer.

Working with chocobo.

Playing Red Mage leveled 18

Playing Red Mage leveled 19

Slow Days

Nothing new and no pictures yet. I just check my folder where I store pictures but it looks like fraps didn't take any pictures at all. So I'm stuck with nothing. Anyways I got 2 merits on Wed and Thursday I got another 2merits. My total is currently 206, and with another merit I will add another upgrade to Tool Experise for my Ninja.

I'll probably level some low level jobs after that final merit for my Ninja like RDM or SAM. Until next post and I'll try to get some pictures up next time.

My Chocobo is Still Alive! and Merits

I took a few days to focus on my chocobo because he was pissed at me for not looking after it for like 2 months. After a few days he got a little better so I decided to get a party and see if I was rusty after awhile. It took like 2hours of seeking total to finally get a merit party. It was fun since I haven't played in awhile. I got 2 merits out of it and the party was pretty good with 7k of experience points an hour or so. That would bring my total merits at 202 I think.

I hope to party some more and maybe join a linkshell to do some end game stuff like dynamis, limbus, sea or sky. Anyways pictures to come later.

Woot Post!

Well after a 3 month break mostly because I burnt myself out on FFXI and also I got hooked on other games Vanguard, CC3, and Supreme Commander. I reactivated my account to check out FFXI again. Not sure I'll be playing as much, probably just wander around nude or something... o.O;

Anyways, updates are going to take an hour right now so I'll see you when I see you.

Small Update

Woot update! I'm taking a break right now. So I haven't played FFXI in like 2 weeks. I also sampled Vanguard and I'm hooked currently... o.O/

I'll probably pop on FFXI for a bit later on when new content comes on. Till then. (y o.o)y

Bad News

Well, I was in a good mood this week because of Kirin x2 and my chance to get a Osode. However things happened and we couldn't do Kirin and did Minis instead. Currently we have half our leadership inactive and half our members busy with real life. I'm pretty sure we won't be doing Kirin for awhile. We may even not be a LS with whats happening.

However, whatever happens it was a fun ride and I own a lot to the LS that helped me with getting items, Final WSs, missions, and money. Ironically this month marks the 1 year anniversary for me being a CK member. I was hoping for this month to be a happy one to mark my anniversary, unfortunately it could mark the end.

Late Night Merits, Ulli Again

Late night on Thursday I was too excited with Kirin next Thursday that I couldn't sleep so I got a late night merit party, which ended up with 3 merits for me putting my total to 199. I passed out when the party ended.

Friday because of the merit party last night I didn't play much cause I woke up in the afternoon, and I was busy with the baby mostly. Also when the baby was gone I overslept again during my nap and missed Dynamis... I was pissed about that because I wanted to try my luck on lotting for a 100coin.

Saturday I had a doctor's appointment so I missed half of sky farming. When I did log on, I headed over to Ulli to help with camping. After about a hour and a half he popped and we got claim! That's another Ulli for us and 2 more Kirins. After farming Rimmy setup a KS99 which turned out pretty nice. We killed the Behemoth version in KS99 twice, but we only got to open 1 of the chests out of the 2 runs because we ran out of time. It sucked because the first run we killed him but right when we did about 5 seconds later we were kicked out. The second run we killed him and it was smoother, but the drops were crap.

Sunday I got limbus, and tomorrow sea. Report back later.

Back to Sky

Nothing much went on this week for me because of real life stuff: work, baby sitting, and school. I haven't had much time for FFXI, but I did do some stuff. Mostly I have been catching up on merits before I start leveling on SAM. I got 9 merits this week so far, and I also got a Sorcerer's Ring from soloing bcnm 50s, I got 2m out of it which I needed for SAM stuff.

Today, Thursday was sky and I was excited because its been about a month. We kill one of each of the 4 minis, I didn't even know we got Ulli, but we got nice drops overall. Suzaku, dropped Suzaku's Sune-Ate[Deja], A.legs[Dao]. Seiryu dropped V.claw[Bank], W.hands[True], Seiryu's Sword[Soul]. Genbu dropped Genbu's Kabuto[Auto-Drop], A.head[Zylia]. Byakko dropped Byakko's Axe[forgot], Byakko's Haidate[Mori], D.haidate[Kyp]. I only wish I got my D.head or S.kote because it will be another month before I get a shot at them again. Anyways my merit total is at 195, I'm thinking of getting 10 more merits for NIN and 19 merits for RNG before starting on SAM.

Tomorrow is Dynamis in Xarcabard and Saturday is sky farming and a KS 99 if all goes well.

Almost Back to College

This week is the last week before going back to college, so I didn't do much. Wednesday was Limbus and because Aeron quit I don't have an Assault static on Wednesdays anymore. I'll probably look for a LS to do it with. Anyways Limbus was fun, but we got 21 people to show up so 3 people couldn't go.

Thursday we were to do Jorm if he was up or Minis, however we had a lack of people showing up and only 1 officer on so we went to camp Ulli instead with like 5 other groups/LSs. I on the other hand took the night off with fishing.

Friday was Dynamis with Limitless at Beaucedine. But before that I got a merit party and got 2 merits out of it bring my total of merits to 188. The Dynamis run was pretty good, we got decent drops with RDM, RNG, WHM, and a 100 coin drop. However the boss was pretty hairy, kinda shocked that we almost lost it.

Today was sky farming, however no officers and very few members were on at start of farming. However, they did a good job on going to sky and do some farming anyways. They got a SC and BBx2. I did fishing instead of sky while waiting for my brother to come and drop off the baby to babysit, then when the get back I'm going back to their place to help with the baby's room again. Anyways, tomorrow is Dynamis for PinCKs and Limbus for me. Monday I head back to college so I won't be playing much. Till next post.

Nothing Much

Nothing much happened the past few days because I haven't had much time to play. Friday I ran with Limitless for a bit, but I left after a hour because of my sister's birthday party. Saturday was sky farming but again it was more like Ulli farming, which he did not pop for us. Also it was a pretty low turnout again for sky farming, reason why I don't show up on time now a days. Sunday we skipped Limbus again and I didn't play much either because I capped EXP on RNG. I'm probably going to work on merits until I decided what to do for the majority of my free time on FFXI. Right now I'm think of either RDM, BLM, or SAM as the next job to 75 for me. Right now its SAM, but BLM would be interesting as my first mage job to 75.

Tomorrow is Limbus and Thursday I think is mini gods. Also college is coming up again for the spring semester, can't believe how fast winter break was because it seems like it only just started. Anyways, till next post.

Jormungand DEAD! World Serpent Slayers for CK. Ranger to 75!

WOOT! On Thursday we killed Jormungand! The days before though we pretty uneventful. We skipped sea/jailers on Monday, Tuesday though I hit 75 for Ranger, and Wednesday I didn't play much but I heard we skipped Limbus. This whole week though we have been camping Fafnir, we did mange to get a claim but wiped pretty quickly.

Anyways on to Thursday, the day we killed Jormungand. It took about an 1 hour to gather and set everyone up. We had some new people so the officers explained how we fight this and we were all psyched up for the fight. It took 2 tries to kill Jormungand, but at least we finally got the dragon down. The first try failed because we couldn't establish hate fast enough for our tanks. We were going through all the WHMs. Having them log on and off like crazy kinda messed us up. And we wiped around 90% however when we regrouped for a second try we got it down with more people that logged on (Dao, Pau, and Gun).

We slowly chip away the HP and balanced out the hate nicely with the tanks. I was pretty nervous and excited because I got to tank with Eulore setting down at his new place. It was fun though and it was a team effort. Soul and True did a great job with Nin/Drk, also the Mages (RDMs, SMNs, WHMs) in the main alliance did a great job on keep everyone alive, doing dmg to Jorm, keeping jorm debuffed, and keeping us buff. The CC alliance also did a wonderful job on keeping the mobs away from the main alliance. With the new position of the CC alliance the pulls were nice and quick. The fight took about 2 hours and it was well worth it with a new cool title and pride given to the entire linkshell for becoming World Serpent Slayers!

Tomorrow I don't think I'll be on much to play with my sister's birthday. But I'm sure Limitless with win Xarcabard again, and on Saturday we have sky farming. I'll add pictures when I get the chance. Good job CK!

Sunday

When the day started people gathered for the Bomb Queen event, I on the other hand took the time to do a back to back Besieged because I rarely get an EXP party on RNG. I'm now 32k to 75. After that I took a break before Limbus, but the others did Dynamis-Beaucedine restarting hope into giving PinCKs a new beginning. The welcome back to Dynamis was encouraging too with several AF dropping (RDM, THF, MNK, WAR, PLD, DRK) and 2 100coins. They all did that with 20 people all the way to the boss, but they didn't take out the boss.

Limbus started after Dynamis and we did Central Temenos 1st Floor with the Enchanted Dragon. It was fast as usual, and we got 2 coins each. I'm now at 38 coins total and need 37 coins for 75 coins for my brutal earring. After Limbus I did Assault with Sin and Soul. We did Counting Sheep 3 times getting 4k in assault points it was a nice day overall.

Tomorrow is Sea/Jailers, but I hope to get an EXP party before. Tuesday is free, but I may not be on. Till next post.

Sky, Ranger to 74, and Dynamis-Jeuno

Thursday we went up to sky to kill Olla x5 for our stock of Zippy drops we got. During that time we also got another water and we also had time to killed MG. After the small sky farming we killed Genbu x4 getting some nice items for our blms and melees alike. After sky we went to Behemoth for a few hours, but we didn't get claim.

Friday I got Ranger to 74 and 8k into 75 around 34k to 75. After that I headed to Jeuno to afk while to wait for Dynamis to start. We had a low turn out around 30 people, but I dont think we get many people during city runs. I could also tell why because not many people lotted for AF, most of the AF2 that dropped were for free lot. It was a good night for me though because I got RNG AF2 in free lot and MNK AF2 finally. I'm now 3/5 for MNK and 1/5 for RNG.

Today was sky farming, but it was Ulli farming really because we spent all the time at Ulli. And of course he didn't pop even when we had the entire area to ourselves for awhile. Later tonight is Fafnir and tomorrow is limbus. I'll cya you all later.

Ranger to 73 and Limbus

I got RNG to level 73 yesterday and I'm 13,000 to 74 right now. I hope to get 75 on ranger soon around next week or so making that my 4th 75 job. Tonight I did Limbus the North Tower and I got 3 coins out of it. I now have a total of 36 coins and I hope to get a brutal earring in a month or so. I'm running low on cash again so I'll be farming and NM camping again. Tomorrow is Fafnir because we will be short on people for Jorm or maybe some other HNM. On Friday is Dynamis at Jeuno I believe and Saturday is farming at sky.

The CK website has been going through some sort of upgrade so its been down for a bit, but its up right now probably going down again soon. I'll see you all later, and as you all may have seen I still haven't posted pictures since I been pretty lazy with it. Mayber later tonight I'll post the pictures. Till next update.

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you. It just turned New Year for me about 33 mins or so ago and I thought I may as well do a the first post of 2007. Quick updates are my RNG hit 72 yesterday and I hope to get 73 soon. Sky farming on Saturday also went good, however, no Ulli for us because he popped before farming started. We still got Faust, SC, Zippy, and did BBx2. Later on today is Sea farming or I hope we will have farming/jailers. Tomorrow is a free day and Wednesday is Assault and Limbus. I hope to add some pictures later today to give this blog more color, until then later y'all.
