Got on FFXI last night and joined a Linkshell xp party synced @ 10, in
Ghelsba Outpost. I changed jobs to
Scholar, and went to join them. Beabiddy was on
Ranger, Kingsofcash was on
Black Mage (and later
Dragoon), and Jicaud was
Beastmaster. Later, when Jicaud left, Fiorenzo joined us on his
Summoner.
The XP was decent, I went through a full charge on my
Emperor Band, but people were getting a little reckless, which kind of put a damper on things. I'm all for having a little fun, and enjoy goofing off and getting reckless, but not when it puts fellow party members in jeopardy. People kept getting aggro (and deliberately attacking)
Warchief Vatgit, who destroyed us twice.
So, I managed to get my Scholar to Level 19, then 18 when we wiped the first time, then 19 again, then 20, then 19 again when we wiped the second time. By that point, I'd had more than enough FDAU, and called it a night.
At least I'm past
Valkurm Dunes-level parties. I'll probably solo a bit, do a couple
FoV to get 20 back plus some buffer, and then toss my flag up and see what happens in
Qufim.
