Final Fantasy XI

[Yvondith]

Woot! Go Dej!

I have a question for Masaia/Mark, would you be upset if I used the same head type for my mithra as Masaia is? I haven't decided if I want to use the orange or the purple, both faces are so cute. However, I know you played Masaia for years, and I sorta feel like I'm going into your territory on this. I wanted to check with you first before I settle down and create the character.

And yes Yue, I know you don't like the... what was it, mater head as you used to call her?

[Caller]

I doubt he'd care. I'll make him check this later.

And yes, TOMATER HEAD

[dejibo]

Long ago, and far away original Dejibo (red head mithra) obtained a scorpian harness and had no idea what it was for, but she liked it! She bought it off a bazaar and didnt realize she was waaaaay too small to wear it, but hung onto it. Well, last night Hume Dejibo hit Level 57 THF and after all these years was able to slip it on! Finally she can sell it, or trade it or whatever, but she got the satisfaction of using the damn thing. I am loving the Jarideh gear and its pretty too. it was just a matter of pride to be able to wear that harness.

I have been playing more than I expected. Happy to be able to putter, and my LS has been extremely accomodating of the blind girl. They drag me to and fro and are happy to let me leach. They want to drag me to abby as a leach as well to just pop me over the edge. I really dont want to fight Maat as a THF but unless I get my WHM up and over I wont be able to use her to do it either.

So glad you guys are back.

[Yvondith]

Yup, the scorpion harness is a good piece of equipment for melee classes. I had one for my RDM, just for when I melee with Yue, or solo.

You are doing so well in the game. Congrats!

There's some sort of maintenance going on today, so I'm assuming the next patch drops today. I hope it's that AH joining patch. The auction houses in the 3 cities are empty.

And, has anyone notice how deserted Bastok is?

[dejibo]

Bastok has been deserted for a while now. Not sure what that is about, but tons of folks wanting taru or Elvaan characters.

Im off for my big girl appointment in the big city about 2 hours away, so I will be gone. its snowing to beat the band and we are expecting about 18inches up there, so this will be fun.

I am looking forward to brining my WHM up a few levels she is almost 45 now. Tons of folks have been gifting me with their scrolls when they drop off of chests and BC fights, so I am all set for that, but need to get my butt out there. Leveling WHM is so hard! even with easier EXP. At least the FOV book will help.

I remember simply having a mule whos sole purpose was to be in a city to check on AH stuff. no other reason, just to be in Bastok to sell the stuff that sells quickly there, and check on stuff that is usually in stock. Linking the AHs will be awesome! Maybe I will kill off a mule or 3. That means sorting thru some crap. Eeeek!

[Yvondith]

I was in Bastok markets yesterday, and was amazed to see only 4 people, including me, in the entire zone. My god! Windurst and Sandy still have a decent amount of people in them, but I am noticing that there are hardly any other bazaars out. I've been sitting Ondraphe outside to sell stuff since I've been working on her.

I'm trying to get Ondraphe ready to tank, so Yue and her can duo. Which healing class did you wanna level with her as? I can grind her to 15 solo I'm sure, if you wanna go DNC.

Just sorta lost interest in the taru recently. I dunno what my problem is. I'm getting attached to the elvaan.

I'm probably just going to putz around on all 3 characters and get them to 30, for now. I want to get someone to max level, but I'm worried I won't be able to do that without the abyssea expansions.

Also, I'm getting Granny for a few days, so I'll be spotty during the day. But I should be fine at night to do stuff.

[dejibo]

I want my WHM to go to 75 and she is 44 almost 45 now. My BLM is 24 and I need her to be at least 35 to match up to my WHM. My BLu is 34 and I can use it as a compliment to any job. I want to really level my BST too, which is level one.

Im off to the big girl place of medicine.

[Yvondith]

They are definitely up to something today, you can't even login right now. Really, really hoping that those auction houses get joined. It will be so nice to see everything up for sale from one location.

[Caller]

I can be DNC, WHM, or SCH, though I have no gear for SCH, the only thing I want from it is that sexy AF. <.<

[Yvondith]

I want Yvondith to be SCH, the AF is cute. I want to play but the servers are still down.

[Caller]

I gotta get NIN to 65. I wants Dual Wield 4! I meant to do a little Campaign but never really got around to it yet.

I like the idea of SCH but I don't get Cure 2 till Lv17. DNC gets Cure 1.5 at Lv15. I like the things SCH can do but it's so "blah" at everything til about Lv40.

[Yvondith]

I went to bed early last night, sorry.

Hopefully I'll have some time to play today. I was busy all day yesterday.

We did NOT get the AH merge. They are acting like we will get a new update fairly soon, and at that time, they will be merging several worlds as well.

Honestly I'm surprised Bismarck managed to keep a decent sized population.

[Yvondith]

I give up on the alternate characters. I'm too distracted when I'm leveling then, I need to be focusing on one character, and only one character.

I guess I should work on Yvondith's other jobs right now, and maybe get them all to level 10 or higher.

I'm gonna keep Ondraphe a few more days and then delete her, and replace her with a Yvondith clone mule, that does AH and Bazaar stuff. I need to close down the 3rd ID I have before the month is over with as well.

[dejibo]

onedaphe got bought out by Dejibo. I didnt know it was you! I was thinking that I want to level BST and need level one gear, and there you are! I always try to help the little guy out so I pulled from your stuff.

I worked on the Tea with Toonberry quest a bit yesterday. I got the ginsing and then the black board and got my questions answered. Now will have to go to Fey Yin to do a big fight I guess. I also need to go to Fey Yin to do my final Rank 10 fight. Never did get to that. oh well.

They have not announced the final date of the world mergers, and which worlds will be folded into what worlds. Bismarck has done great for itself! Horrible name, so I am surprised. With this merger the AHs will become linked as well. This means I can get rid of at least 2 mules. Wont need um to sit in a certain city anymore. That was their sole purpose in life was to sit at this city so I could check the AHs. I guess LillyBilly and Moonie will go the way of the dodo bird. MaggieMoon has come far and so has Osiyo, so I think i would keep them for storage, altho storage has gotten a ton better.

I think steph is right. Keep to one character, and get some quests, fame, and a good foundation under her. Do some supply runs, and get all your jobs to level 10 so you can level sync. Then you can chuck the level one gear and make room for other stuff. Happy to help, just say the word. I am going to drag out my BST later at level one. maybe we can play.

[Yvondith]

Thanks for your purchases yesterday, I appreciate it.

If you want, get your BST to level 10 and we can level sync down and duo mobs in one of the secondary zones, or in King Ranperre's Tomb.

I wanna start leveling Yvondith's warrior, so she can level ninja in the future. Still working on getting my WHM to level 30 as well. I may go and start LFG myself in Qufim. I still haven't gotten my air pass to Khazam though, so I may be spending a lot of time in the dunes and qufim.

Sorry I haven't been spending any time in the WWLS lately, just been feeling sort of anti-social.

Also, I sent Yuehunei 19k today. Please accept it, it is payment for the loans you have given me since I came back. 5k for the Beestinger, 3k worth of greens for my choco quest, 10k loan, and 1k for the Gold World Pass. I think that completely covers the loan you gave me. I hate being in debt so please take it.
