Final Fantasy XI

[Yvondith]

Working on my Ninjutsu today. I gotta get it to 150 to be capped at level 49. I also got my Ninja Hakama and Ninja Kyahan today, the only two pieces of AF I can equip right now. I can equip the Hatsuburi real soon, but unfortunately it SUCKS.

Edit: I got Ninjutsu to 148, but then I ran out of tools. Good enough for now. >.>

I love how NIN AF looks on females. Unfortunately, Yvondith is wearing the male version because she's taru.

I am apparently leveling BRD soon, after I'm satisfied with Dancer. I wanna cap my merits, cap dagger, cap evasion, and get level cap before I level it. Dej gave me some BRD scrolls to get me started. Thanks!

[masaia]

Dancer has full af3+1 now and a double attack cape of awesomeness by helping people with a mm pop last night. Was worth the time and money invested because my dnc will never stop attacking with samba and haste up. I'm in no hurry for the +2 versions. I will chip them away as I see shouts. More interested in finishing the abyssian questline. Hard to find shouts for raja though.

Should be able to curbstomp cop now. Should probably work on an empyrean weapon but I can't be assed.

[Yvondith]

Do you two have any need at all for my DNC at this point?

I gotta start BRD soon I guess, or something else useful.

[Caller]

What he's not telling you is that the DNC Body cost him around a half a million gil in pop items.

I still need THF legs and Body, and DNC typically drops from the same NMs as THF, and since he's after THF too, we're not technically done with DNC yet. I'm more interested in BLM though. I liked THF, but seeing how DNC can do *everything* a THF can do and do it better, it kinda disillusions a person. The only exception is Treasure Hunter but whooptishit.

Someday I'll get DNC to 95+, so I can solo more. THF can do a lot but I can't trust my THF evasion enough to sub DNC. I *have* to sub NIN and that sacrifices my healing because Bloody Bolts barely work in Abyssea, if I could even hit with them, which isn't likely given THF's C in Marskmanship. Now outside of Abyssea THF is absofreakinlutely broken as THF/NIN since Bloody Bolts *do* work. But I can see DNC being better at it.

[masaia]

Half a mil for the best dnc body in the game is a steal. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. Paid more for those cowboy pants. I will be more frugal with my ninja body since I am hoarding the cow hides. We will get your rdm body from that nm, and we can cat fight over the whm seals

All of warriors nm blow and monks are mostly iron giants. Le cry

[Caller]

not concerned with WHM. I want BLM and THF.

[Yvondith]

Big night for me. I finally got level 95, and more merits. Also... this is huge, and I know a certain taru probably didn't expect this so soon... (Unless a certain Hume spilled the beans) but I got the Atma of the Razed Ruins. +50 DEX, +30% Critical Hit Rate, and +30% Critical Hit Damage. I'm so excited, yay me! That was scary. I died twice, to the Observers in the vicinity and ran around like a scared rabbit while the NM was fought. Got some screens too.







Obligatory THUNDAR for that last pic.

Also, I got these!

Bustle Dirs

Savant's Chain

I can't use em but I got em anyways!

Woot. Happy taru is happy. ;D

Also, thank you Mark for hanging out with me in my crapola group. We were a hell of a team.

[Yvondith]

Gonna need help with the Baronial Bat today, I tried to solo it, but the skeleton mobs obliterated me with magic before I could do jack shit about it. Got paralyzed instantly, and had a case of the "Yvondith is paralyzed" x 100.

I can't even get past the mobs guarding the spawn point. /facepalm

[Yvondith]

Nevermind, I'm not gonna be online tonight, I'm having issues with Steam (AGAIN!) and need to reinstall the game... AGAIN! Which probably means reinstalling 3 times before I get one that works.

[Yvondith]

I have half my steam issue fixed. However I'm getting the same old problem I always get when I reinstall the game, something is messed up with the game and I'm unable to get it to work. So, uninstall, reinstall and try again.

[masaia]

Hunted gangly gean last night for ninja aft neck piece. Painfully easy solo as dancer but 0/7 on drop so far. It has a horrid rate of drop and proccing does nothing to help. Just gotta hope I don't have yue's brand of luck

On a side note, ran into an old friend of mine from way back when. He wanted me to join his ls. Problem is, his ls is Arch Dominus, the once elitist hnm ls of our server. I even would have to fill in what might as well be a job application to join. I'm going to talk to him about that later. Not wanting to turn this game into a career.

Danno how your game keeps breaking down like that.

[Yvondith]

I have the problem fixed, finally. I hate steam.

[dejibo]

I had my COP darkness fight with Diablos, which means I unlocked Dyna! I got to go to my very first Dyna last night. I got all kinds of cool peices and a ton of O peices to sell. The crew let me hug the OP for as long as I needed, and come out when I could as WHM to pro/shell and so forth. It was so awesome to feel like I had advanced my game.

BST is 95 with some help, and WHM is 95 with some help, and I am working on Skill ups. Got my RDM to 31 and my bLM now sits at 28, and I will work on getting it to 30 so she can Abby leech. Amazing how much easier it is to level now. Those FOV books or Ground Tomes really throw the EXP at ya. Zip! I went from level 9 RDM in 3 hours to 31.

I am trying to do some Zilart missions and COP stuff, so I can do sea and sky. I have never had a character go that far before, and I am so proud of myself. Went to oldtown and got mahself a map. Really good place for farming, and stuff falls out of the sky. My bazaar was empty after one hour last night. Zip, all gone!

I unlocked one mule, because with high level jobs come high level gear, and the need for beast stuff is wild. Chakoteh crafts the jug pets and the food for them, so she sends me plenty if I send her the ingredients for it.

I have really been enjoying that I am taking my game further than I thought I could. Half blind, and dependent on the kindness of my LS mates I am nudging my way along.

[Yvondith]

I'm so glad you're doing well in the game. I'm happy to let you leech when I do GoV, though be warned, I'm slow at it.

I capped Dagger yesterday, finally. I also capped my Reverse Flourish merits. Should I do Closed Position next, or Fan Dance?

Many thanks for helping me get Evisceration. It's NICE! to be able to do real damage in Abys now.

Also, I have written both Caller and Masaia PMs explaining what happened last night. I am really, really sorry about my behavior.

[Yvondith]

Got my new pussy cat to level 21 in a Gusgen party. Fighting skeletons seems so incredibly counter productive, one blood saber and it's back to full health. Gonna get her to 30 in there, then get my support job and license.

Also worked on my dagger trials. I want that Evisceration +10% dmg dagger, at least.
