We thought that Tal. But when we started today I was hanging around the start area soloing the jelly and pugil for about an hour and the fomors weren't there (neither the SMN nor the MNK). I'm not sure why.

I've done some background reading into these items via AK, and my god were they nothing like how I imagined them to be....
At first, it was "Meh, these thf JSE pants with the spoony name are a piece of ****e what with their craptacular +1 to r.acc" then rather by making myself sound like a moron by complaining about how ****e the JSE is, I looked further.
Seems that once you have obtained the JSE piece, you take it to some girl in Bastok to exchange it for something several times better - HASTE +4% WOOHOO! Rather than give into the pressure of those sordid chinese RMTs and pay out the ass for a +1% haste subligar, you can have a +4 body piece for the price of the odd death or 2 (and you don't even have to look like a pansey in a gay subligar either)
Too bad I couldn't make the run tonight, we will have to go again at some point.Last edited by Daragon; 29-01-2006, 00:14.

Logged on this morning and to my joy the map ??? was up so I grabbed it whilst I could. I hope Tsing doesn't log on too soon after me so that it has chance to respawn.
Also, I looked up the price of Iolite (the remaining Gobbiebag 6 item) and they currently go for 250k. I'd like to avoid paying that if possible so is anyone interested in attempting to take out Corse mobs in Attohwa Chasm?

I would love to go in and get myself the THF JSE if others are up for it too, the blm element of the JSE does look like it could be useful for lvl 50 capped stuff - but are there any fights capped at 50?

Def: 27
Dark Magic Skill: +3
Elemental Magic Skill: +3
Enfeebling Magic Skill: +3
Enhancing Magic Skill: +3
This can be Macro'd in (in place of the Warlock's Tabard) for all non-enfeebling spells (Nukes / Drain / Aspir etc) for + stats that can't even be obtained from the most Rare / Expensive earings - possibly all the way to Lv75...Last edited by talizker; 29-01-2006, 13:17.

I'm going to cancel my content ID tomorrow evening because I'm moving house. Those who wanna borrow equipment off of me have till I log out tomorrow to ask for the items. I will be contactable through the followng email address [email protected]. If you do e-mail me please put "Rargh" in the subject for the first e-mail -_- i dunno yer e-mail addys.
Hopefully I can get a few extra things done while I'm off line that I need to do.
Personally right now I am addicted to FFXI and I have been for a while. It has affected my working habbits and has turned me in to a hermit.
End game activities don't appeal to me because it means waiting around. hopefully this break can rekindle my liking for FFXI and help me manage my self back in to my old self.
Happy Adventuring Rargh!
What the heck did you put in that drink Tobal last night ... I woke up with a nasty headache and few other soar spots >.>Last edited by Kerushi; 29-01-2006, 19:35.

Well hope you have a good break and recharge Kerushi mate, one day I shall have to address my addiction as well, this stuff is worse than crack. Hopefully when you get back on I'll be back up to your level and we can go form rubbish parties again
The weekend for me was kind of middle of the road, didn't really achieve much. The biggest one I'd hoped for didn't come off, the Map of the Phomiunia Aquaducts sadly didn't pop for me.
On the other hand I did however manage to get my NPC to 40 and finally open the quest for the tactics pearl. Expect that I'll get the NPC to 44 or 45 this week as she's practically 41 already. Other than that it was mostly questing for me, got quite a bit done but no big rewards, however at last I'm ready for the Sleepga II quest that should bring in a nice wedge as for once I'm going to sell it.
Ok so plans for this week then? Well I think a couple of mannequin body runs if possible to get some gil in and if anyone is interested a return to the aquaducts. Would need around 6 to be able to check the map points or farm subligars but to be honest I'd be happy with just blasting our wat to map points if no one else wanted anything though I think Darwock still needs BLM JSE.
Final goal I think will be to get back on the xp trail been having a break since getting my Sky access, now it's time to puch on to 70 and go back and give Maat a pasting. Haubie fund now stands at around 4 million so much to be done first!

What a productive weekend (although my inventory is currently crippling under the extra strain that it has brought about).
Obviously the Phomiuna Aquaducts run was the main thing and I?m glad to say I?ve got most of the stuff I need for in there although I?m aware that a few people still didn?t get what they require so obviously I will be willing to go back in. From what I recall the following people still need items:
Darwock (BLM JSE subligar)
Talizker (Balloon Cloth)
Apathye (Balloon Cloth)
Tsingtao (Map & PLD JSE subligar)
Mosley (RNG JSE subligar)
Rabs (PLD JSE subligar)
Daragon (THF JSE subligar)
From what I remember of our trips a PLD fomor can be found solo near to the minotaur. The 4 Balloon Cloth we got were off of RNG near the 2-3 library area so if we can camp there we can get RNG JSE and cloths. I seem to recall WAR fomors there as well so we could get PLD too. However we would have to return to the Saturday evening camp for BLM JSE and map.
Also, there is an NM in the Aqueducts I wouldn?t mind us having a pop at. His name is Tres Duendes and it?s a BST type bat with a fomor pet (seriously). I believe it?s a difficult fight but he has 3 rewards.
Vampiric Claws (Hand-to-Hand weapon with HP Drain effect)
Chiroptera Dagger (Dagger with Ranged Accuracy+12 stat)
Niokiyotsuna (Katana with Double Attack+1% stat)
Obviously I?m primarily interested in the katana and the other things may be of interest to people.
So, plenty of reason to head back into those sewers. I actually enjoyed that zone. Wasn?t really too difficult to get around with care and attention.
Yesterday was a quest day. Started in Maze of Shakrami and completed a Windurst quest by obtaining a Burnite Shell. Whilst doing that I killed crawlers and quickly obtained 8 silk thread which combined with the 4 I had in my mogsafe completed a stack. Always a nice bonus. From there I moved on to NPC G1 quest (after having it unfinished for over a week). Didn?t know where I was supposed to go so went through the zone in question. Took about an hour of searching but found it (along with a key item for another quest accidentally) and got that out of the way. Got 4 magic scrolls whilst there and was pleasantly surprised to learn they would net me about 500k on auction.
Finally I completed the Bygrid quests and obtained my Nokizaru Gi. A really impressive piece of gear with AGI+4 and Emnity+1. Should pair up nicely with the Nokizaru Hakama when I can afford it (currently 2m short of last sold price).
My priority now is getting Gobbiebag 6 out of the way. Like I said, I have 3/4 necessary items so just need an Iolite from Attohwa Chasm. These drop off Corse mobs which are BST type and are around lvl67 but should not be underestimated as they can charm PT members. Would like to go as a full party for safety?s sake with people who can sleep and Dispel (I believe Dispel breaks Charm and Sleep is for use in case the Charm cannot be broken). I am aware that some people have already completed GB6 and have bought this item. In this case I propose that we make the gems free lot to everybody (although once you obtain one you cannot lot on any others) to help people recoup the money they have spent in the past. Seems fairest.
I?d really like to get this out of the way as soon as possible to help relieve my collapsing inventory. I know Tal and Apa are definitely interested but more would be welcome. There is also another quest item (Tea with a Tonberry also needed here so we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone).Last edited by C'; 30-01-2006, 10:10.
