I broke a long-standing personal FFXI "rule" last night. I have generally always waited a bit after version updates, additions of new events, new equipment--new anything really--until more information has been gathered, before jumping into something. Yesterday, being bored senseless with farming, I suddenly decided it might be interesting to get ( Read more... )

Finally got a real start on ZNMs. With a few volunteers Sunday we successfully took down the T1 puk. More death than I had wanted ideally. Definitely will suggest making sure we have a WHM along whenever Shagg decides he wants to do his. Turned in the wing, got the T2 seal and had enough points to get the pop item for Iriz Ima, which looks to be ( Read more... )

A Short List of Things NOT to Do on Your Ohat Run (in no particular order)

In any case, Morbolger's spawn window is pretty bleh . . . Though, at least the area is somewhat less dank than waiting for Charybdis was. (...somewhat...) After getting the ( Read more... )

Holy crap... Went up to Beaucedine to camp Nue for the Brown Belt quest, since MNK is nearing lv. 40, and... Dorp. 1/1 ( Read more... )

Our Nyzul Investigation run Monday went very smoothly, despite a disappointing outcome vs. Cerberus @ floor 60. With Oddyseus unavailable, ( Read more... )

For some reason, I've been on a kick lately of trying to level a few low or mid-level jobs, or just suddenly picking up random quests. Or trying to (finally) finish up stuff that's been sitting in my Current quest log for God knows how long. I don't know why this is, but . . . It's actually been kind of fun. I feel like I 'should' be focusing more ( Read more... )
