Fun day!

Started the day in Castle Oztroja, went so-so. Hit a coffer and got my THF AF pants. yet another piece I had forgot to get earlier. I got the AF2 versions already so I really have no use for these. Then hit Campaign, got my Ribbon (Level 4), after that we did Limbus with the LS. We split up and did Temenos East and Temenos North, was a smooth run, considering we only had 5 and 6 people total. We got both chips so we're now a bit closer to our next Ultima pop

After that we went to Behemoths Dominion, since window was open for King Behemoth, well, we were not the only ones.. There was 194 people in zone at one time when i checked.. Lag was bad, I was tired, and we were facing an army of German bots that somehow decided to switch over to the Midgardsormr server.. Mighty annoying!
(Update: We didn't get claim but it was a fair claim by Deeds, so thats fine.)

New year, same game!

Yes, looks like 2008 will be another FFXI year for me, hehe.
Today my plan was farming some, doing the rank10 fight, and maybe some other stuff.. But I've been blessed with the hangover of the century!! So I ended up up doing stupid stuff (on and off since I had to go throw up now and then..) like attempting a solo rank10 figh on THF/DNC, lol. That may very well have been the most pathetic fight ive ever done.. I went down in 15 seconds.
I then spend the rest of the day in campaign, since you really have nothing to loose in there. Thats good for days when you have an IQ equal to a seagull.

Nothng special..

I farmed some more today in QC, didnt get anything good.
Then I went to solo Dark Spark on THF/NIN, was a cakewalk.. So now i have yet another piece that just takes up space..

Got a pt invite on my BLM, made about 10k exp, so im halfway to level 61 now.

You guess it, farming!

No more fishing.. that sucks. so back to Quicksand. First i did the pop-NM again, so good drops.
Then I camped the Ranger NM and got the Loxley Bow and 6k gil. Was a easy kill so thats fine.
Popped 2 Coffers, netting me 17k. Redid the pop-Nm again a bit later, crap drops again. Moved to Monastic Cavern, opened a coffer, found my THF AF gloves item, i forgot to finish, lol. Guess I can do Dark SPark once i go do the last battle for Bastok Rank 10 in Castle Zwahl Baileys. Was planning on doing Limbus with the LS but personal things got in the way.

Farming

Another day of farming. Went back to do the pop-nm in Quicksand Caves. Got two Adaman ores today so that was nice. Decided I would try my luck at Angel Skin fishing.. never done that before and well.. its boring.. Went THF75/DNC37, and that is really nice for the sneak/invisible and free heals.. Think im gonna like this addition i now have for solo-stuff.

Well fishing didnt work out.. I just dont have the willpower to sit there for hours and..well I stayed for an hour, then i left.

Went to Whitegate, and flagged up for a merit-party invite.

Adventure on my own

Today I wanted to do something different, so I went to Quicksand Caves, planning on see if any NMs where up and maybe pop a coffer or 2. I got 1 coffer and did one NM (Tribunus VII-I).

Went fine and all.. Got the drops, not that it was of any use for me. 3 x Iron ores and the Axe that i cant use.. Well, fun and easy fight atleast.










After that I figured i'd check out the BLM NM (Proconsul), guide said it was soloable by WHM/NIN.. I guess I should have atleast but reriase up, which i didnt.. I wrnt THf/NIN and I got raped.. not used to that on THF.
But I wanted revenge, so I got on SAM/NIN and went back.. Unfortunatly I pulled and got a link, and this turned out to be the thing that would turn the tide of the fight.
Treated it like a Maat-fight and Meditated up before fight, pulled (got link), WS, 2Hr, WS, WS, Meditate, WS, WS, got him to 1%. And died. I counted my damage and it turns out that i was 150 damage short of killing it! So i reraise, planning to get up and just 1 shot him..well, hurray for Great Katana delay.. He hit me once before i could get of my attack.. So I'm dead again. And have to HP again.. Screw him, his crap drops aint worth dying for.. No I have to go level my buffer on both THF and SAM, both are just 3k from deleveling to 74 :(. Got a merit pt, got a 12k buffer for THF and 1 more limit point.

Farming..

..not fun but it needs to be done sometimes.. So I went out to farm Giant Bird Plumes.
Seems today was not a good day for drops, but I made about 40k in ~1 hour. Will probably have to go back once more this week. These birds die fast when using daggers.


After that it was time for LS event. Today we had scheduled Ouryu again, if enough people showed up. And that didnt happen.. Then there was plans for a swiftbelt run, but that didnt happen either..so i went soloing. Exp was dead in Lower Delfutt's Tower, so I grabbed the boat to Kazham, hoping to get a party invite. I didnt but I solod a bit.. Got about 3k and then i got tired of it.
