Final Fantasy XI Then...

[vwilsonuk]

Hicory, I too have overheating problems with my laptop a does someone from my work, I bought a thing that lifts the laptop off the table so there is more airflow around it.

I also noticed lag when I used to play ffxi on it.

I have basically given up on laptops though, had three of them and they all had something major go wrong with them.

I really liked my first one but I only ever used it for desktop apps (not games). Am quite getting into the building pcs idea right now (anyone running FFXI on an AMD Athlon?). Laptops are really neat for portability but its expensive to keep a high spec machine regularly updated.

For pure portable desktop apps the tablet pcs are looking quite cool - a colleague has one. Next time around I could be tempted towards one of those for mobile necessities and a big f*** off custom built monster for gaming and everything that happens at my desk (which is, in fairness, most of what happens with my pc right now anway). If Tsing wants me to game in the same room as him with another pc in a tower case mind he'll just have to buy a bigger house ... best not tell him, its just the excuse he's been looking for!

The big difference this time compared to last time we did promey is the ability to return to the spire gate (if you complete it)

You can do that now?

That would've saved some mana points!

My NPC saved my neck tonight! I was farming EP beetles as 27 red mage, had a link after one spawned next to where I was fighting, and it didn't stay asleep due to what I assume were my blaze spikes waking it up again.. my HP was rapidly descending, so I got on the blower to big Wagwei and he appeared, provoked it, and saved my ass! Having him three levels higher than me is certainly useful - in fact at this level it's more of a life saver than the red mage's 2 hour ability! I guess it means he won't be gaining levels any time soon though. I've only called on him once before, fighting the same beetles. Tonight he appeared to be wearing Lizard armour.. he wasn't wearing that the first time.

I haven't got the hang of telling him what to do yet though, I clicked on him and he asked if I wanted him to leave then stood on the spot.. I ran back and clicked him again and he left - I could have made more use of him than that.

Hehehe - thats so cool!

Finally got round to completing the NPC quest last night and took Sharlene for a trip out onto Batallia Downs to kill some Tigers before bed ^^

You charmer!

Anyone up for skill ups on ep mobs to lvl 70 (im talking about taking on crabs in the Tree), I still need 140 ws point to finish points stage of the quest(about 28 sc3 would do it), I hoping to borrow rare for 1 or 2hrs(I?ll pay for ninja tools) and you should easily be able to get weapon skills up to +220/230 if wanna skillup something other than katana?s.

I will be up for this. I really need skill ups on my Sword but i'm guessing these mobs will be too high for me (currently about 145-150 I think). If I can't do anything with sword I can skill up my Magic as I only currently have Enfeebling capped.

[Darwock]

I reckon you'd be alright Tal, when fighting Robber crabs in the tree I usually get in and melee with my wand, as it drains MP out of them. My club skill is way below my staff but I am still able to land hits.

I can?t do skill up in Boyahda Tree tonight as I believe Moot and Apathye are heading into Toraimarai Canal to find Girtab scorpions and hopefully get Viking Axes to drop. I?ve said I would go along to help. However I think these things would check Easy Prey to you so if you want to come along we can hit them with some Blade: Ten >> Tachi: Gekko for Darkness goodness whilst we?re there

[Tobal]

as long as you have acc+ and steel shell is dispelled(you have hit and cause damage to skillup) you'll be fine being that lvl 50-60 exp on them.

[Darwock]

Hmmmm... I picked up my AF3 quest last night and it takes place in Toraimarai Canal... I was planning on going in to investigate tonight so you might see me down there.

Not sure if you guys would be willing, or if I even want to ask for help yet, although from what I've heard about AF3s you tend to need alliances if you want to tackle it at the right level? That's just never going to happen, so I might have to swallow my pride again.

[Tobal]

Ok, im coming with you guys ^^.

[Tobal]

As for any AF3's i'll come to help if you guys get an allience going i will come.

BCNM60 Do you need it.

Anyone up for this sometime soon, if we do the Quicksand Caves one we need Sleeping abilities with backups, 1 Blm, 1 Brd and 1 Rdm worked good before, add Tank and two Damage Dealers.

anyone interested.
