Back in the house

[khoisan]

Well its been a busy several months. I got married in July and was looking for a new house. After a year of planning and thousands of dollars, the wedding went off without a hitch. Which was pretty impressive since we had several people coming from other countries. The honeymoon was in Puerto Vallarta and was amazing, even though it was only for a

I was wondering where you've been lately.

My second wedding anniversary was just recent. It definitely doesn't feel like it's been two years. But it has been. My wife and I are just as close with each other as we were then. 11 month old daughter as of this month also. Didn't get to do much this time around though as I was stuck working bad shifts.

Grats on your progress leveling BLU. I haven't leveled much if at all on any job but I've done a lot of stuff on the side. BLM has Merciful Cape now and I've been keeping the buffer high as much as I can. BRD has 4/5 AF2, only needing Bard's Justaucorps, then I can store the set.

Also got my first ZNM item today, Erato's Cape. Too bad string skill is kinda meh. But it was nice getting my first ZNM drop. And yeah, I'll never want to fight Pandemonium Warden; FFXI didn't need another Absolute Virtue.

Thanks for the well wishings Fred. I hear you're getting pretty close on your relic which is a great accomplishment. And it seems that Dynamis is treating you well too. With the release of BLU AF2, I might be looking for shell in the near future. However I have so many demands on my time these days. I never realized how much free time I had until I started planning for the wedding. Now that we're done with that, we're looking to buy a house. Seems like every evening and weekend is packed with some type of meeting. Hopefully once we move I'll have some time to get back to FFXI.

Once you get settled in a house and such, you should have some more time.

Yeah, just waiting to pick up my stage 4 weapon Sunday, then trying to make a push to completion as gil allows since all I need now is Bronze/Silvers. DL2 has more than one sponsoring runs (2-3), so with me added into the mix, currency gained will be incredibly low, unless a run goes amazingly well with 100 pieces.

Yeah, I'd say it's treated me in particular well; having the only BLM body that's dropped in over a almost 2 year timespan speaks for itself. My points are going to skyrocket because I need nothing AF2 wise anymore except for Bard's Justaucorps and the WHM and BLM accessories from CoP dynamis. BRD cape, I don't care about. I can't see myself ever using Bard's Cape over Jester's Cape +1, which does have more CHR. The acc wouldn't be bad if I were soloing for fun, though, so /shrug.

I am eager to see what the AF2 for the new jobs will be like.

Grats on your stage 4. I don't have the patience for a relic. Only one I might get is horn cause you'd always be useful, but its not that fulfilling.

Hey, does your dynamis group do CoP zones too? I stopped doing dynamis before people really started doing those zones. Some of the capes and belts are pretty useful. BLM, MNK and THF ones are steps up from AH gears, so I'd be interested in them. Plus of course the blu AF2.
