Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Marvelon]

I'llbe back on this evening, I'll be having a go at farming some more recollections, at the various Promy's...

Any news on the Lv 10 happenings? RDM/blm Lv 10 here, more or less ready to go!

My BLM is lvl 7 at the moment so I might get that upto lvl 10 ready for the Rargh party.

Also I might head into Promy as well.

[Darwock]

Are we going to get our jobs to 12 individually so that Vanicent can be the 6th member, or are we going to party as five until that point, or something else?

Might as well party upto that point.

[Vanicent]

It's actually going to be level 13 before I can become member #6, as I've levelled THF (102 exp short of level 13 when the party disbanded ) and RNG that far now.

I won't go any futher with those jobs now unless I'm in the static party.

I'll be on just after 8pm tonight and am up for farming some recollections. It will have to be back to Dem first whichever we go to as I will need to clear my memory before heading to another Crag.

As far as the level 10 party - the weekend / early next week is going to be perfect for me. For the rest of this week I have the following planned:

-Getting hold of one of each Anima + the recolections to get a second.
-Getting a Ordelle Chest key before Thursday
-Getting at least one more RSE item on Thursday (although two would be great)
-Attempting 1 or more Promy BCNM
-Getting 4k exp to make level 40

At level 40/41 I have loads of things I want to do including BCNM40's, AF1, Rank 5, getting more teleport crystals, farming for gil etc.

It will be cool to slot into the static 10 right after this week as I nice RDM break

Aight, We're having a go at getting to the BCNM in Promyvion-DEM this thursday evening, from about 20:00 UKtime. We'll have at least a few Anima's but I think we should have a go at this dry and see how it goes, I can't make an informed judgement on how many Anima's we require for this kind of thing so I think we should try with as few as possible to stop ourselves overfarming (which would end up being wasted time/money).

If the thursday run goes well we can try some more this weekend, and also I'd like to call a startday on the strat of our lv 10 party... I'm working saturday so how about sunday afternoon, I suggest we start the 5 of us out in Bastok then go to the dunes from there, so we can fight the Lizards on the Bastok/Konshtat side of dunes. If we do alrightish we can rpolly get to about lv 13 in a very short amount of time. After Van joins us and we hit 15 (prolly should go for crabs from 13/14 onwards) we should pack up and head to Korroloka Tunnel, where 15-19 should be obtained in short order.

After that we'll prolly need to break for equipment/spell upgrades etc.

A note on the economy... I think the current problem is caused by the fact that there is too much gil in the economy. There are players on Seraph who are sitting on several hundreds of millions of gil. Consider where this money comes from: you start with 50(?) gil. You can make small amounts by doing quests/missions and even smaller amounts by selling things to NPC's all the other money comes from Mob gil drops and Treasure Chests.
What bothers me is that I found out through an old in-game friend that there is a Goldsmithing Linkshellowner who has lv 100 in goldsmithing (probably 103 with the items you can get through guild contracts).... now that's fair enough. Additionally he has 2(!!) Mules with lv 100 goldsmithing... furthermore he is sitting on about 900 million gil. Just that one guy could wreck Seraphs economy overnight, if he wanted to. Instead, like the greedy bastard he is, he sits on his cash and uses it to make.... more cash, occasionnaly he shows his benevolence by granting some of his LSmembers items he's crafted for them.

It angers me that the spirit of cooperation which this game is supposed to create through it's Forced-grouping mechanic goes completely out the window when it comes to money and, especially, Greed. It saddens me that someone would measures his accomplishment by the size of the stack of Gil he can make. As used to be said in 80's corporate America: He who dies with the most Stuff, wins.

Bleh, I wish for once people could see past their own, admittedly short, penisses and just help others and use whatever they had gained to help others rather than hoard virtual money and be virtually rich. I guess Virtual Power corrupts too, and Absolute Virtual Power corrupts absolutely.

Don't mean to speak on his behalf but I don't think Talizker can make afternoons...

If that is in fact the case, I'd just like to go on record saying that neither hell nor high water is going to stand between me and watching 24 on Sunday evening

(I know it's repeated mondays but I'm not taking any chances!)

Promyvion-DEM

I should be able to get on around 8pm on Thursday for this. I have a Hysteroanima to bring and will be coming as RDM/BLM.

Level 10 party

Sorry to say that during the day is impossible for me. Wife and two kids take up all my time - just like weekdays, it's evenings only for me. If you need to start without me I can try and catch up during my normal playing hours but fear once you set off with the static you will level much quicker than I could keep up with. If this is a problem then i'll just have to bow out and do my own thing fitting in with other LS activities during my evening sessions... Sorry!

Thanks for that - you know me too well it seems!

Ah - 24. I [cough] download that beauty a few days after the US air date so am a few hours in front of you. It is getting VERY good

Just to say on record. I can basically play from 9pm-9.30pm until whenever AM any night. I can get on earlier some nights but when you have a totally non-game understanding partner then you obviously have to balance your computer time so as to not upset any one... (and I do manage to put in a lot of FFXI time considering my situation!)

Amusingly enough I said just the other day that it would be cool if she played FFXI with me but she gave me a strange look, laughed and walked out the room... Guess thats a 'no chance in hell' then!

Mind if I tag on to that please?

I guess Virtual power corrupts too, and Absolute Virtual Power corrupts absolutely.

So it would seem...

That applies to me to.

[Darwock]

I'll be up for Promyvion-Dem as well - I have a recollection of pain (stepped on a plug once) but had trouble converting it to an Anima last night; I will re-enter the shattered telepoint tonight and leave Promyvion without erasing my memory, and see if doing that allows me to trade the recollection.

(BLM/SMN)

[Tobal]

Well i be logging back on to take down Deggi, got him again last night but only got the impact knuckles(that now 4 pairs gotten off him in my Deggi hunting career), hopefully better luck tonight. I'll head back to Jueno before i log to trade my Recollections over for Animas and hope theres a Haubie for under 3.3m

Sorry to intervene in something that doesn't concern me but...

Best Post Ever(TM)

[Darwock]

Got humiliated by the 'Wings of Fury' orb battle again last night :-(

They have an additional trick up their sleeves that they hadn't revealed on my last attempt, so all our planning was for nothing - every single bat casts drain... if it wasn't for this fact we would without a doubt have been able to win it with the 2 of us.. but with them doing non-physical damage and healing themselves at the same time, we just won't be able to stretch it out long enough. Not without a crapload of medicine.

After that failure we took the opportunity to get a number of other Ghelsba related objectives out of the way.. Claude killed Warchief Vatgit and then we went on the path up to Horlais Peak looking for his chest key, which we got.

Tonight Claude is going to Jeuno for the first time (starting at 6:30 ish).. if he decides against doing it solo, i'll accompany him... but i'm still up for Promyvion-Dem either way.

Have the groups already been arranged?
