Initial 15 Completed!

So I got lazy and stopped posting. Someone, I'm not going to say whom but they know whom they are kept asking me where my new post. I'm not sure what has happened over the last 8 months, but I'll try to remember what has occurred. Within the first 5 jobs to level I knew then that I wanted all my jobs at 75, because I like to be adaptable to situations. So coming up on six years, I have completed my goal... but then only to be confronted by the 5 new jobs they released. But I have completed the initial 15 jobs on FFXI when I joined the game.

October

Back in the summer of 2008 I was continuing my quest to get as many 75 jobs as I could. During the summer I was getting close enough to obtaining that blue caap. But I slowed down a bit in August, didn't feel much like playing for the month. Anyways, through the summer my friend was getting close to getting his maat's cap, so I kept pushing him to get his. He got his a month earlier than mine, after that I thought that I should get off my butt and get mine as well. So after the long exp grind, I do infact have a Maat's Cap.

I didn't think much of the Maat's Cap itself. I enjoy the title that you got more, and that was my main goal. Though the cap is very usefull and looks great on me :P  Besides (whm, sam, blm, brd, pld, drg, drk) I fought Maat shortly after I hit 75.


November

Wish I could remeber when I got my jobs to 75. My leveling order goes: WHM RDM MNK THF RNG SMN WAR BST NIN SAM BLM BRD PLD DRG DRK. What is puzzling me is "what jobs did I have to finish leveling to 75 now that I put Maat in his place?" Though I do believe that I got.... actually never mind because I just remembered what happened and when. Anyways, so November came and I believe that I decided to... no wait I remember what I did lol. This is what I get for not posting month by month, trying to remember what I've done.

After defeated Maat and obtained by caap, 75 SAM was my newest job to 75. I wanted to merit and I wanted a Hagun but I didn't have enough money for it. I asked one of my good friends (Yarly) to buy me a Hagun in exchange for me to level his thief from level 57 to 75. He accepted my offer so what I did to get him through those levels was just for him to afk in my merit pts. It worked well, I could of finished it in faster time but my bard (Morejuiceplease) lives in EST and I get off work usually late, so we didn't have enough time to do as long as parties that I would of liked to. Sometimes I would have Cahlista come and pull for me but she doesn't really enjoy being on her bard :P

So pretty much November schedule was: Dynamis (Sunday afternoon), Nyzul climb to 100 (Sunday morning), Assaults (Wednesday night), Salvage (Tuesday), merit pl (whenever free).

December

December was pretty much the same as November. I've done the same events but when Morejuiceplease or Cahlista wasn't available I would take the time to level my black mage (which was 70 ). During this month, we had (I think) 2-3 other black mages that were leveling (Deagol and Khayre). They were still going through the levels but they were able to do it so much faster than I was doing it. By the end of the month we all were 75 black mages.

One of my fond memories of this month is that and both Christmas eve and New Years eve, the linkshell and I celebrated this moment together. Haha, how sad that on both days others and myself spend the whole day being online with other people that were online. Oh well, like I have anything else to do, kek.

January

I think around this time, I started to level my bard. Believe that I stopped at 66 and fought Maat. I enjoyed leveling bard but after awhile it got old and then people tried to tell me how to play my job such and such. So after some point I was done with trying to get random pick up parties. Instead I just made my merit party and took a dd and a healer and leveled my bard that way.

I had this one party and how they were treating me was terrible. We were doing Greater Colibri and they were either complaining about songs or pulling slow or something. But it just got to the point where they wanted to tell me how to play the job/game and they weren't even playing the game theirselves. Instead they were sitting there afk with their weapon out and not swinging. I quickly got tired of their crap and I instantly put on my Maat's Cap, said goodbye, /pcmd leave, Myinre uses Maat's Cap and then I went afk for the rest of the day cause of the mood they put me in.

July

For the first 10 days, I will be gone on vacation to wonderful OHIO to see my SUPER BEST FRIEND, Khayre. I'm so excited. Not sure what I will be doing for the 10 days that I will be gone but I'm looking forward to it! Think that we are going to make a trip over the boarder to Canada to see Niagara Falls. I went there as a kid so it would be great to see it again after all these years. I am almost ready to go but I'm always worried that I'm forgetting something :3

Yeah, I know. I'm missing Feburary through June. That's because I don't remember much that has happened through those months. I have to look through my screenshots to help me remember. But I did get sea, got Jib sea as well. I've been in a salvage group(s) with my linkshell; since around September; and we were able to obtain or finish the following pieces: Ares Body, Ares Hands, Ares Legs, Morrigan Head, Morrigan Body (2), Morrigan Hands (2), Morrigan Legs, Marduk Head, Marduk Body (2), Marduk Legs, Usukane Head, Usukane Legs, Usukane Feet, Skadi Head, Skadi Body (*though that is what I remember when I went to the runs. Since there were 2-3 different groups or variations with characters). Lots of limbus. Great Dynamis pieces of my linkshell. Nyzul Completed. Nyzul Weapons 19/20. Unlocked Nyzul Weapons 14/15. Sky/Sea/ZNMs/ISNMs. LOLRelapse. But I will write out more as soon as I go through the screenshots.

Lately I've been busy with leveling. People always ask me if I have my Maat's cap because of how much I play and level. Now that my friend is near getting his cap, I've decided that I would get my cap before his. I would eventually would like to get all the jobs to 75. I love the idea of diversety. Previously I was playing dark knight and that was fun to play 60+. I retired it and now I am playing black mage. I'm only done with my current goal of 70 black mage. I just need about 20,000 more exp. 

Funny how black mage has turned from being invited for magic bursting in parties to not invited at all and forced to solo. At least it's pretty easy to solo. Only thing is that it takes time to level, sometimes it feels like forever. 

Since the last update early June, there's been a lot of things to do to keep people busy. I would like to do ZNMs but I don't have much help on doing them or people do them when I not around/aren't able to come. I would also like to finish the missions for Bastok and Windurst. Also I need to catch up on the WotG missions. I'm just waiting on a friend; Morejuiceplease, to get online a bit more. Also I need to do more merits... ugh the things to do in FFXI are endless for me.

 Not bad, so it took me a week to get from 60 to 68 dark knight. Used 2 or 3 charges off the anniversary ring early 60s just to set my first goal of 63. Took awhile for me to get to 70 though. Level 68 through 69 was done all through campaign battles except first 5k exp I gained from an earlier party. I was expecting that ground strike would of done more damage but still doesn't seem that well. I've only tried it against imps so far so hopefully my next party (I'll party again for my buffer) we can fight something else and I can test what damage it really can do. I'm thinking about leveling to 71 and then stopping just to get dread spikes for when I go up against Maat. But then again I might ask Wololo if I could borrow his Kraken Club and just beat the crap out of Maat for an easy win. I fought Maat once before as a 70 dark knight hume for a friend of mine, was an easy fight for the most part even though I did miss to equip an item here and there. 

Now that dark knight is over with now I can focus on my samurai duo and/or playing my black mage. Either or I hope the time passes so I can get my inventory space back from last months event.

While installing FFXI over 4 years ago, I was trying to decide which race and job that I wanted to be. I bought the Bradly Guide for FFXI (actually mom asked me if I wanted it cause it was a birthday present). I looked over it a lot and thought about what I wanted to do. When it came down to it, I wanted to be a mithra because of that stats balance and the dex (for critical hits). 15 jobs but I had to pick one (for now, kek). I didn't know what I wanted to do nor what to expect. But overall I wanted to be a Dark Knight/Thief because of the high damage they talked about in the book and /thief for treasure hunter and making money.

I can't wait for this update. I'm not sure to think that if making group 2 merits the same as group 1 merits is going to help or break the game. It's just going to be crazy. I don't know what to merit in my group 2 after this update. I'm still looking over it but still unsure. I really wished that I had samurai and dark knight at 75 to take advantage of. Well this is what I think I would do for those merits:

After a month of camping I finally was rewarded with my Yinyang Robe from Shikigami Weapon. We came back the next day and another robe dropped. Makes my record 4/12.

During my time at work I usually read on forums and at home I read linkshell chatter about people leveling up all the time. I'm still a little burned out from all the exp. That and the events that I do and the random NMs that I camp with my pet linkshell.

This weekend was fun in the world of Vana'Diel. I recently joined an all pet linkshell which consisted of mostly beastmaster/summoners and a few puppetmasters and dragoons. In the previous weeks I have done the lesser sky gods with them. I think that I like this way better. There are less deaths for sure and even if so you don't have to fumble around with who to invite to replace that person because its either another beastmaster or summoner. So it just makes things interesting in that linkshell. It's nice to use my two jobs that I never thought that I would use for end game. 

Last weekend in the pet linkshell was Kirins. I didn't doubt their ablity to defeat him just was wondering how smooth the fight goes. It was going to be an all Kirin week end with a total of 5. Woke up around 10am to gather in sky with the other 24+ members. I brought Jibrienne along with me on my ps3 to help raise people. Each Kirin took little over 40 minutes to defeat with maybe 3-8 deaths per round. Drops were good! I can't remember what they were exactly but on that day I believe that we were rewarded with 2 wlegs, 1-2 poles, and an osode. 

I wake up again around 10am for another 2 Kirins. I asked the leader if I was able to use my trigger and he said that we would be able to use it if we had enough people/time. Again took that Kirin without any problems. I've noticed that summoner's new job ablity Elemental Siphon was really good because you would use it, recover mp, do some more blood pacts and then it's back up again. Believe that we got another pole and osode from the first Kirin but the second one dropped no abj. and no money making items (Raise III & Quake). We had defeat two Kirins and we still have time for another one. Finally I was going to be able to use my triggers that I've obtained from my previous sky linkshell. Of course on my trigger this turned out to be the worse Kirin that we faught. I guess that people weren't paying much attention when the first summon came around, Suzaku. It chainspelled and 3-4 summoners went down, so it was slow for us to kill the pets. Next was Genbu, then Byakko, and last Seiryu. Somewhere in between the white mage for the kiting party ate dirt twice and I had to join their party on my Jib with my ps3 controller. All in all we defeated him and got an osode and dryadic body. So now I have my Kirin's Osode! 

Not bad for an all pet linkshell!

 To start I finally got 75 ninja from months of duoing from level 50. It was fun going through the levels and not worrying about looking for a party or having trouble not finding "this job" or "that job." Last Tuesday I capped my xp for ninja. I'm not really sure what to think about meriting ninja. It doesn't look that appealing to me. One day I was helping a friend in Castle Oztroja getting a coffer key and while I was there I might as well get a ninja testimony. Got the drop of course and fought maat. It was so easy, I love overkilling Maat. My Blade: Jin at the start of the match got him down to 51%! What I wanted to do was use the Opo-opo Necklace and get 100%, Jin, Tp wing, Jin and it would of skillchained and I know it would of put him in his place. But when I went in, I forgot that my necklace was still on my mule outside of the bcnm!! Oh well, I popped at least 10 Hi-Potions though before the match so it helped out after he Mijin.

General:

I haven't really had much of an urge to post anything in awhile. I do a lot of events but I still feel like I don't really play, so there isn't much for me to talk about... but I guess I can talk about some nonsense that is going through my head. I think that ever since I started to level my ninja in a duo it has taken me away from doing anything else in the game, because I don't want to mule gear for when I need to play the job. I was able to get rid of some seals and store some items where I could actually keep my ninja's gear/tools on my main character insted of trading it back and forth.

So it has been awhile since I've updated so here I am writting. In the past couple of months a couple of good changes have happened. I got a new sky linkshell. Got some more job levels. Got the expansion, completed some quests/mission, and got 2 new jobs to play.

Ding, #8!

Beastmaster
Finally did it. My goal about beastmaster was to get to 75 before I could finish externship. I finished 4 days late. Started on June 21st and finished on the morning of August 10th. I just need to gain a 15k buffer (at least) and then I could mule my beast gear away. Think that I might try The Boyahda Tree and farm.

I completed my 8th job to level 75 (WHM RDM MNK THF RNG SMN WAR BST). Next, I want to level either black mage or ninja, more leaning to black mage. But I think I'm going to take the time to level my second character and get her from 64 to 70 white mage so I may have access to raise 3. Shouldn't take long since I have a full anniversary ring with her.

Beastmaster

Last sunday (7/22) we did Dynamis-Xarcabard. NMs went by swiftly but had some troubles at the "wall of death." We tried the Dynamis-Lord again but failed duo to some starting difficulties. Only the white mage gloves dropped.

This sunday (7/29) we planned on doing Dynamis-San D'oria but another linkshell went in one hour before we were expected to. So insted we went to Bastok. Smooth run but we had trouble after we passed the auction house and our puller died in the middle of the second alliance, so half of the alliance wipped due to about 3-6 mobs were free... two of them happened to be monks too ><. Drops: 2 Red Mage, 2 Dragoon, Samurai, Bard, Beastmaster (mine), and Paladin. 

Beastmaster has been going well. As of 7/29/07 I am level 72. I'm so glad that I'm done with the Bhaflau Thickets camp because it was either empty or just over packed. Beastmaster, jobs subbing bst, and xp parties. Xp was really slow there, like 3k/hour and needing 30,000+ xp just seem like it would take forever but I just devoted myself to get through it as fast as I can. So now I'm going to take my trip up to sky so I may solo in peace.

Dynamis-Xarcabard WIN

Thief

I awoke around noon on Sunday and was asked to duo with another beastmaster. Since I haven't exp in the area they suggested, I took them up on the party. Was good, gained 11k xp. After the beastmaster had to leave I decided that I would attend dynamis to keep my points active. Once again they were going to try the Dynamis Lord, but the odds were looking better with 46~48 people. Bard pants and Black Mage hat dropped respectivly from the NMs. I'm not sure why they wanted to do this but they brought the Dynamis Lord to the "Dragon camp." For this attempted we heard from another ls to use more Rangers, use Dragoon's Angon, and use Thief's Feint. Well I guess it worked pretty good since we took him down very cleanly; no deaths and no tp moves used. Shadow Ring did drop and went to a friend of mine, so congratulations to you! Well at least my attendance was well rewarded for, still unsure when the next time I can attend dynamis.

Beastmaster Conquest

Beastmaster
My time on FFXI has slowed down because of my externship. I work between 9am-9pm and get about 40-50 hours per week. I need a total of 240 hours to complete my externship. Because of this change, I have decided to take up Beastmaster again. So far it has been fun again and I only had 1 (3-4 since 7/21) death, not bad since I haven't played it in about a year. 

This post is going to be about me leveling Beastmaster. I will update (edit this post only about my experience than making new posts) between now and the end of my externship, or til 75.

     Haven't posted in 3-4 months now... I need to get rid of my screen shots that I have taken over the months that been recording my progress. I'm not sure what I was doing back in March and what I was leveling so I'll try to sum it up. I took up Summoner and eventually got to 75, after I hit 70 I got parties slowly. I had the YinYang Robe NM's tod once so I got people together to try for it. We didn't claim it but the person who did died and we got it after that. Didn't drop it, I had my shot. Then I got around to meriting. Slowly I merited my axe from Ranger so eventually I would level Warrior, and I did. Currently I would like to level Black Mage or Ninja, but I would like to finish off some merits first.

The following links are going to be really short because I can't remember the feelings and details of those days:

Ranger

     Since we only have two Rangers in my sky linkshell and now it seems like they aren't showing up, I decided that I would level my throwing this week and try to get it to the cap (which is 220). By today (Thrusday), I was able to get to 190 (started at 106 on Monday). Kuftal Tunnel's crabs get iffy on skill around that level so I decided that I would try the higher level crabs in Cape Terrigan. I would have 5+ minute fights with crabs and pugils and getting little or no skill, so I left there and was going to the B-Tree. 

Tuesday: 
Nakedsnake fails, he suppose to be our "wide scanner," yet he came up on his summoner. So because of his failure, I came up as Ranger. Only got Mother Globe and Faust. Our linkshell just camped Ullikummi but it didn't spawn while we were there.

Wednesday: Dynamis-Xarabard
Meh, I don't really like X-Bard that much when I'm in the Wed. dynamis, because I have a very low chance of even getting thief gloves. My white mage relic lotting still exists so that's what I had to try to lot on. I don't even have a relic from xbard yet. 4/5 Monk (missing Head), 3/5 Ranger (missing Body and Hands). Drops were really bad that night, for relic that is. Two 100 pieces did drop, then later that night a Beastmaster's relic gloves dropped. I always thought that in dynamis monk and beastmaster always dropped and rotted but yet I don't see it all so much, but when beastmaster relic does drop, we have other beastmaster that are higher above me so they get to have the item. Oh well.

Thursday: 
Sky triggers didn't even happen today. People went up and everything was already cleared by RMT and DH. So they wanted try again 3 hours from our start time. Not many people showed up, so I believe that we got nothing again.

Saturday:
I figure from our triggers that there will be no sky gods. Doesn't matter, I'm not going to log on for it anyways.

Sunday: Dynamis-Beaucedine
Our linkshell decided to fight the larger statues for more enemies insted of farming Hydra's. Either or are fun imo. I decided to come as White Mage that night cause I didn't have sushi on me at the moment and I didn't want to mule more over. For Dynamis-Glacier, I have 3/5 Relic Armor(s); Monk, Thief, and Ranger. White and Red Mage are the last two that I could obtain for now but, probably would be awhile til I could get it. Over all, good drops: Summoner Body, Ninja Body, Warrior Legs, Bard Body, Ranger Feet.

     This week I just completed my AF quests for Black Mage, Dragoon, and most of Dark Knight and Samurai. While doing AF1 Dragoon I saw that no one was camping the Dune Widow, so I decided that I would try it out. It popped about 20-30minutes of waiting, dropped Spider's Torque (400k) 1/1. There was a KS30 Manaburn run that was going on early Sunday. So I went with 3 orbs to try my luck. My first orb was the only lucky orb, got D Ingot and O Ingot, total of 1.2m. Surprizingly I have money now... well whenever the things sell. I don't really know what I want to spend the gil on. I'm drawing a blank on things to get besides of HQ Elemental Stave(s).  

Tuesday: 
Don't remember what happened that day. Probably didn't claim much as usual.

Wednesday: Dynamis-Beaucedine
This was our second run since last week was just terrible. The run was a bit smoother but the trouble the linkshells mostly has is everyone fights too close and AoE hits more people than it should. Drop: Thief Pants, Monk Body.

Thursday:
Don't remember what happened that day. Probably didn't claim much as usual.

Saturday:
Woke up late for Gods. They did  2 Genbu's and Seiryu without me. I came up for the 2nd Seiryu though. After that we had Suzaku. After that the event was completed. Really short day.SAD FACE.Been hard trying to get triggers lately. Drop: 2 Venomous Claws, Seiryu Sword x2, Dryadic Head x2, Aqua Legs (no surprize there), Dryadic Hands (dot dot dot). 

I've been trying to get [info]khayreShaman's Cloak because she so desperately wants one, but there is this red mage taru that is always there and it's obvious that he doesn't need it. Everytime that I'm down there he is there or log on. So yeah, we didn't get the NM so they went to pop the Tungi NM. I left real quick before that because I just got a coffer key and found the coffer. I went back and got my Samurai and popped it for the pants then came back to kill Tungi NM. No drop.SADFACE. On that map there are two other NMs behind the doors. The mage one wasn't up nor would spawn after killing PH, but the WAR? was up. No drop either.MORESADFACE. So with little to do it was down to camp Ose or Diamond Daig and because double earth weather was in effect and we were near by, we decided to go with DD. Didn't take long to spawn after we killed the PH. This NM took awhile because of it's high defence but it was an easy fight. At least the Protecting Bangles are 100% drop so we were able to walk out with something from the NMs that we killed today, not to mention the 10~15k I got from them combined (w/ mug included). Congratulations to Khayre for Protecting Bangles!

I still had time left before my linkshell wanted to try for Divine Might, so we spent time at Ose. I think it took almost 2 hours for it to spawn and when it did a random party that just zoned in stole it -.-

Divine Might, here's my chance to finally beat it as I thought, but something went wrong. Unagihito was sick over the weekend and Sharm/Battra's connection went out due to their dog used the bathroom on their router. No RDM, SMN, WHM as we wanted to have. Overall we lost because our kiter for Mithra AA d/c RIGHT when I pulled and I was killed under 10-15 sec. Mithra then went lose basicly and killed everyone else. Full story.

Sunday: Dynamis-Xarabard
The event that I waited for all week, because it was my chance to get my own thief relic hands. Think that we had 40 people come; was a really good run and we cleared out a lot of enemies. We actually went back to Camp 1 and a bit further... before we wiped from the huge train. Drops: Red Mage Hat, Ranger Body, Black Mage Hat, White Mage Hands.
