Busy Week

Monday was Dynamis-Windy with Limitless, the run was much better than last Friday. For this night I played WHM and it was pretty busy, fun too but busy as well. After the win we farmed a bit and I was lucky enough to get the RNG AF2 on free lot. After Dynamis I farmed a bit and than logged for the night.

Tuesday was Sky farming and at the start we were able to get Despot, but that was all we got for that night as we just missed Faust and MG never popped. For the rest of farming we tried for Diorite since we needed 2 or 3 of them, but that didn't drop. After farming I leveled PLD for a bit, but the party was slow and wasn't very good so I just logged after a few thousand exp points.

Wednesday I had to skip Limbus in the afternoon because I had to pick up my baby niece, but after that though I was about to attend Rawr's event for Sky/Sea farming. Sky crew tried for Diorite, while we at Sea tried to pop some Ix'Aern. We were able to get Ix'Aern DRK to pop and MNK too. I had to afk during MNK pop because I had company over my house, but I believe Tenk got the cape from MNK so congratulations to him.

Thursday was a busy day. I camped White Coney real early in the morning from 11pm to 3am PST or whenever the window was for full moon on last Thursday. Anyways, I went 0/11 on that damn bunny when full moon's phase was over. After that I logged and tried to sleep off my disappointment. In the afternoon I did a few tags with my old Assault static. We did Nyzul floor advancement to 40 floor on the 1st tag and it was easy. On the 2nd and 3rd tag we tried the 40 floor and got to the boss on both times. We got Askar Dirs to drop on the 2nd tag which Nyo got and the 3rd tag nothing dropped. It was fun to do Nyzul again, and I hope to do more. After that it was Sky/Sea, but surprisingly only a few people showed online. Only 3 or 4 members were at Sky so it was canceled and everyone was moved to Sea. Unfortunately Jailer of Temperance was our target and I never see it when I attend Sea to try and pop it. And the same happened that night with it not popping that night. We basically just farmed for chips and merited that night. After Sea was Assault, but I only did 2 tags of SP for a new member to catch up with the rest of the group. Once that was over I logged for the night.

Friday was Sea, JoL with Perseverance. I recently applied for them last week and to my surprise they replied. I'm currently doing tryouts and hopefully I do well. I suspect my upcoming weeks will be busy and there will be hard choices for me to make if tryouts go well. However until then, I'll be continuing to do what I do, play the game.

Koga Chainmail and Salvage

Friday was Dynamis Beaucedine with Limitless and again lots of people showed. Not the 60+ we had last Friday, but 50+ people. It turned out to be a good night for people wanting AF2 drops with 6 of them dropping: 2 NIN, 1 PLD, 1 RDM, 1 DRG, and 1 WHM. I was fortunate enough to get one of the two NIN AF2 and it was what made my night. Begen also got WHM and Starks PLD so congratulations to them too!

Saturday was to be Salvage, however my baby niece was coming over last minute so I couldn't make it. Didn't do much but after she left I seeked on PLD and got almost 2 levels out of the party I got.

Sunday was Limbus Omega in the morning, it was a messy run but I made the first mistake of getting Omega too close to mages. That threw off the BLMs timing on stun order and 2 of the 3 NIN kiters went down, me being one of them. We were able to recover however but had to kill him off right away as time was running out. We got Legs, Body, and Hands thought so congratulations to the winners. After Limbus was Salvage in the late afternoon at Silver Sea. This night we got 4 drops and I got one on free lot Marduk's Dastanas the level 15 piece. Kea got the Morrigan's Robe level 15 piece, Tears got Ares's Cuirass level 15 piece, and Alv got the Ares's Mask level 15 piece. Congratulations to us! After Salvage was Assault and we did 3 tags of SP rank Assault. Tomorrow is free, probably farm for gil or play my wii or 360.

Half Week

Since today is Valentine's Day, Rawr and my Assault static decided to take the day off. So I decided I may as well do a quick update has I have free time on my has as Valentine's Day is just a reminder to me I'm single... Anyways on with the half week.

Monday was the start of Dynamis with Limitless on Mondays. It was Dynamis Xarcabard and I must say it was a bit messy. I guess its because of all the new members they have recently recruited. And all the job shuffling that they usually do at the beginning to balance parties out, that's what threw some people off on their game. But they will bounce back, its not hard to see what went wrong and learn from it. However, we did get 3 AF drops and a 100 coin. Still, overall the run was a bit messy. On a good note I got my first Xarcabard drop on free lot, WHM mitts.

Tuesday was Sky farming and it was not bad as we were able to get Despot at the beginning of farming. We then did water until Faust pops near the end of farming. I left a little early but I heard we got Faust at the end of farming.

Wednesday was suppose to be Limbus with BK but my network went down for 40mins so I missed it. I almost missed farming but lucky my network went back up. Anyways after Limbus it was Sky farming again since Aal had his power down. Farming was good again as we got MG, Despot, and SC. We also got a Diorite while waiting for Faust, but it didn't pop so we ended the farming.

Today like I said is Valentine's Day, so Happy Valentine's Day! Next week if I know Aal, we will probably do minis since we have at least 2 sets of each mini. If we get a Diorite on Tuesday while popping items we could have 4 Kirin sets ready once we kill all minis. Tomorrow is Dynamis and the weekend is Salvage. Until then I'll try to get pictures up.

Week's Report!

Another weekly report from Jediknight! Yes, I know stop your cheers and clapping... Anyhoo. I'll be starting from last weekend.

Saturday was Salvage and it was a good run with a few pieces dropping for people, nothing for me still but that's expected with all the rumors of how its kinda like Dynamis or worst with drops. Still, I just have to be patience and wait it out.

Sunday was Limbus in the morning first and we did Omega. I was one of the 3 kiters, but I disconnected at the beginning when we started to engage Omega. When I reconnected it was almost dead so I didn't help much; though it was a good run for those who won pieces from Omega. Salvage was later that evening and it was average run with only 1 piece dropping, and again not for me. Since it was Superbowl weekend Assault was canceled so I logged for the night.

Monday I couldn't play because my baby niece was coming over, so nothing to report on that day.

Tuesday was Sky and we only got SC, Zippy and a water that day. Still was more productive than all of last week. After Sky I farmed a bit a logged for the night.

Wednesday Limbus first and then it was Sea popping. Limbus was an average run, but got some coins out of it. When that was over it was Rawr's time and I started to head to Sea, but Scwall called for help as both MG and Faust were up so a few sea people went up to Sky to kill them. Once MG and Faust were down and items were with people, Sea people and a few extra people we pulled to join us, headed to Sea. The first popping at Sea was Jailer of Justice and from my experience it wasn't so good. I think I was 0/3 with it while I was with CK. But this time I would see a victory. Rawr put up a good fight with only 15 people as we slowly killed Justice! It was about 14mins total in the fight, and it was fun with 3 deaths, but we only got a virtue, weapon to drop. Unfortunately this time no torque, but maybe next Justice we do we will get lucky. After that sea was over since we lacked people to attempt Prudence, but still it was a good overall day.

Thursday was when my sickness hit me with full force. I believe I got it from my niece when she visited on Monday, I started to feel it on Wednesday during the Sea fight but hoped it was nothing. Anyways, I logged in quietly in Rawr only to watch for NMs for the Sky people because I had a really bad headache and I was burning up. Anyways I just sat at MG scanning until farming was over.

Friday I was still sick, but I wanted to attend Dynamis because I'm new with Limitless and like to build points for lotting AF in Northlands. The zone was Windy and we had 3 wipes which surprised me. I guess even miscommunication can happen in a LS like Limitless. I don't remember what dropped mostly because I was sick. Anyways I hope to be better by Monday for Dyanmis with Limitless again.

Saturday was Salvage and we did Bhaflau Remnants farming for level 35 pieces. We did floors 1, 2, and 3, but no pieces dropped. Still it was a nice smooth run with limited deaths.

Sunday I missed Limbus with my crazy network beginning down, but lucky got back up in time for Salvage as it was my lucky day. We did Bhaflau Remnants again for level 35 pieces for floors 1, 2 and 3. The first floor nothing dropped, however when we got to the 2 floor and tried to pop the NM it finally did and we got a drop for a Usukane feet which Ramen won. Semi disappointed that I didn't win, but still happy something finally popped. Another NM popped and again Usukane feet dropped which I won! But that wasn't it we also got the NM to pop again for another Usukane feet for Dental. We were happy after that and headed to the 3 floor for some more luck. On our way there we go a Ares feet to drop from a gear mob which was for feet lotted. Unfortunately nothing popped on the 3 floor, but still 3 level 35 pieces and 1 level 15 piece was a good run. After Salvage was Assault was we did 2 quick tags before calling it a night. We wanted to do 1 more tag, but the missions we had left needed 6 people and only 5 of us were there. Still though it was a good day for me. Tomorrow is Dynamis I hope and a bit of farming.

Weekly New Update

I feel like a reporter now recapping my week's stuff, anyhow on to the news!

Starting with Monday Jan. 28 which was nothing but farming lots and lots of gil for equipment I still need for jobs I have like WHM and NIN. PLD gear I also need to work on but its mostly cheap.

Tuesday was Sky farming again but before that we did DM for people who needed it or who wanted to redo earring. After DM was farming, but BoL popped not only Despot, but SC and Zippy so would night with farming was unproductive. I'm trying to work for that D.head I still like to have for my MNK and NIN, but it isn't easy. DM was fun though, would have made it an unbelievable night with some NMs under our belt but can't have it all I guess. After Sky I did the new quest for the Serpent Generals storyline, which I like personally. After I farmed a little and logged for the night.

Wednesday was Limbus in two zones Temenos C and Apollyon SE, I was in the Apollyon group and no NIN material dropped. I hope soon so I can get it upgraded for my first NIN AF2 upgrade. After Limbus was Kirin x1, was to be Kirin x2 but another LS was there. However, they were nice enough to help with minis and its nice to accept every now and a than. Was a good night overall with a W.Legs finally dropping for Apu. Gali is next in line and after it's Aal turn.

Thursday was Sky/Sea but neither groups had any luck popping/farming so it was unproductive night. Hopefully next week will be better.

Friday was Dynamis-Xarcabard, the Dynamis LS I was with merged with Limitless so I'll be doing Dynamis with them again. The AF2 that dropped was BRD(Auto-drop to Dar), WHM (Begen), and BST. Three 100coin also dropped going to Courtney and Dou, with the third 100coin going to the next Friday winner. I'm planning to do Monday with Limitless too if I'm permitted, but if not it will be farming for gil again.

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.
