Since the regular Dynamis group's leader is offline for a bit dealing with RL issues, the last couple runs have been a little different. Not really in method or success rate, just slight changes in job distributions. She has been the main puller for the shell, occasionally alternating pulls on a run w/ another THF. For last night's Dyna - Windurst ( Read more... )

Had a pretty busy weekend and a lot of action on PLD, which was kind of a nice change. Friday's Nyzul runs we had a rep in for Loki, which made our lineup WAR/NIN, DRG/WAR, DRG/WHM, THF/NIN, WHM/SCH, RDM/BLM. We got a few bad floor layout draws, with huuuuuge floors of Kill All or lamps with gears we had to avoid. Also got another Askar Korazin ( Read more... )

I've been working through re-acquiring the PLD AF set, so I can get it stored. Last night after Nyzul I had a block of time free and I had read that you could sneak-pull just the one Orc NM that drops the Well Weight for the Gallant Surcoat quest. I feel like I'm taking up people's time if I ask for help with stuff like this, so I decided to give ( Read more... )

I am constantly amazed how, with certain people, no matter what FFXI job is brought up, or what situation. They've not only done it, they do it better than anyone else.

Got a tell from someone I hadn't even seen anywhere in months. Out of the blue, he starts asking my opinion on various pieces for PLD, because he's leveling it. This was only after ( Read more... )

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

"Could we get by with a RDM main healing...?" If you want the RDM to hate you for the rest of your life, sure! Also if you are interested in eating floor during the fight and likely losing your eye cluster, then this is the way to go.

Wiping to the Temple Guardian on your ( Read more... )

Started the night off with a merit party invite from Aorlik almost immediately after I finished checking gardens last night. I was just about to start my semi-nightly crafting, but I've found that a lot of times prices at the guilds tend to be better (-ish?) later at night anyway. That aside, I'm pretty much at the point now where all the merit ( Read more... )

. . .we're potentially one run away from hitting floor 100 in Nyzul assault. To say we lucked out with the floor draws over the weekend is an understatement. We sailed through 81 - 95, and I think we had over 10:00 remaining on the clock each of the 3 runs. This has led me to the inescapable conclusion that the Clown Loard is plotting our imminent ( Read more... )

 I need to try and find a good time to keep updating this, now with being back to trying to run at full capacity at a "job," however temporary. I ended up spending some of my recently-accumulated merits on capping out Sentinel recast. I guess for no other reason than that doing so would finish it off. Did another merit party over the weekend, this ( Read more... )

Another Big Merit Party Wed night and I've suddenly got 9 merit points burning holes in my pixelated pockets. Happy! Still debating what to actually use them for. The choices are mainly between upgrades on PLD-- which I haven't gotten to use for anything much of late--or SAM--which actually may have gone unused longer than PLD for me, now that I ( Read more... )

No Limbus last night. :( We didn't have enough people on for a viable run. That was okay-ish with me in a way, as I had to resupply a bunch of consumables recently and need to get some money back in again. Still undecided on whether or not to upgrade SAM AF hands, so I'm sitting on the mats & anc. beastcoins till later.

I was just hanging in town ( Read more... )
