Busy weekend.

Friday was the Diablos rematch which went excellent, having Tobal stun each Nightmare AOE things seems to go real well.

Saturday I managed to get level 65 Bst, cant remember what else happened on Saturday other than logging on at about midnight with quite a few beers in me going a bit crazy with the emotes.

Sunday four ENM's three successful, then exped Bst starting out as a duo party and eventually a quad (is that the word) party, it was good fun and I managed to get about 3.5k tnl so hopefully I will be getting level 66 Bst in a few days.

Hi All,

With the annoucment that we are going to get to keep our FF characters on the FFXI beta for xbox, at the moment it looks like we are going to be transfered to an excisting server. If so im going to come and join you lot (well if thats ok lol)

Just one thing thou or maybe two, You all sound like your all very far on in the game, EG doing CoP etc... Im only rank 5 and will be around lvl 42 Dark Night.

Only thing i wanted to know was as have u people at my stage in your LS? Or would i be better going onto a not so old server?

Or would the NTSC-UK LS be good to help?

Would it be ok to start lvl'in around my lvl also, i hear that on some of the older servers that its hard to find parties at lower lvl's?

Thanks

[Darwock]

There's people of all levels in the LS.. there also isn't really such a thing as an old server as characters get distributed throughout them all (even when they launch a new one they migrate people to those servers). And I don't know where you heard it was hard to find low level parties but that's not really any more true now than it's ever been.

[Darwock]

I've got to say again how much I enjoyed garrison on friday night.. it was a real opportunity to open up in a game that is usually so restrictive. An all out battle against multiple enemies is a great thing, rather than creeping around having to keep a low profile and making sure all fights are contained to a small area. I know there's still an element of that, what with outside aggro still featuring.. but to me it felt like the shackles were taken off FFXI.

BLM turned out to be a more powerful job to use than summoner (which I used for the 30 caps).. sleep does work, the only issue with it is the NPCs waking the mobs with AoE spells - presumably that is only an issue when defending windurstians. Not only that but I had no problems taking hate off the NPCs... so big thanks to talizker and hicory for keeping me alive!

Some folk were saying we won't do another 40 which I think is a shame, but with that in mind I went out and farmed up a trigger for xarcabard (50 cap). We subsequently lost control of the region so it's not much use now. 20's will be cool for the rewards but I don't think they'd be as much fun, because our skill sets will be far more restricted. I hope next time the 50 becomes viable we can get a group for it.

[Tobal]

CoP 3.5 return leg was a good fight, we totally stormed it and for once I paid totally attention to the text field for every time Nightmare went off, stunning all of them which was a complete different story to the miss-aphon of the 2nd fight.

Next up preparation for CoP4-2, I really don?t want to go on until I get this G.K. from SiteB, as well as it being the best G.K. 50-60 its also 1 of kind and won?t cost me 800k or 1m for the other lvl48 and lvl50 g.k I can only get. So I hope to get quite afew turn up to beat this thing!! If we end up with a party worth of people I?ll be buying yag/regen drinks for everyone.

Quick edit

i got lvl50 cap for garrison when doing the Dark Spark fight, which San'd own for the week.

DJ if character migration os offered to Seraph I'm sure you'd find a warm welcome with us. I fell very lucky that when Hicory created her character she wound up on Seraph. There are plent of people levelling at all ranges, though I found 20 - 25 rough recently but I think that was just bad luck. Currently levelling thief to 45 with it at 31 right now so as you can see even in the LS there are people levelling at al levels. Think our current span is around 20 - 75!

The garrison was fun and I'm up for doing again only problem on Friday was tiredness. With the adrenlin of beating diabolos it seemed like a great idea by the time we had started I ws flagging quite bit, sorry

Tobal count me in for the cluster mobs, we can go get tail feathers and the maps when we go back. Lets make it a solid session and sort the lot out, don't see it being too bad. See if we can get Elite and a few others on an event with us.

[Tobal]

Don't forget we do ENM, Garrison and general death quests every week ^^.

[Darwock]

Has anyone actually confirmed the tail feather theory in Riverne?

Reason I ask is that a wyvern also failed to aggro me and Rare as we rested after fighting on Saturday night... it came lumbering over and stood right beside us - we were both anticipating an attack and Rare even stood up, but it just sat there for a couple of minutes then wandered off again. This is exactly what happened when the Hippogriff failed to aggro us on that first visit, so I'm thinking Riverne might have a few wee bugs rather than that tailfeather sparing us the first time.

Excellent sounds great then. My current LS with DavidFallows in from here seems to be spliting to all different servers so i thought why not go and join my home boys off NTSC.

Also sounds like u have alot of events going on all the time which is cool because at the moment we only ever do 1 ish a week.

If we get to make a choice ill jump on Seraph.

Do you need me as RDM/BLM or RDM/WHM dude (do we have another WHM)?

[Darwock]

I think it'll take more than a single party - even with 5 we had not chipped it down to the point where it self-destructed even once, and as we apparently need to let that happen twice before anyone tries to stun it, I bet that's going to claim a few lives (based on overall strength of the mob)
