Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Darwock]

er.. this isn't the fish one tobal, the leeches have hit you on previous attempts... don't get cocky!

[Vanicent]

Made it!! {Ranger} level 30 = {mine}!

Finally, I've reached level 30 Ranger, and I feel very chuffed with that achievment.

(For those of you that don't know, I've been trying to get to this point on and off for a couple of months now.)

If nothing else, I finally get to wear that cool gear I've spent so much (to me) gil on.







Now, for anyone who is interested, my equipment at this point is as follows:

-Archer's Knife
-Great Bow +1/Zamburak +1 (depends on which I prefer at the time)
-Silver Arrows/Acid Bolts/Holy Bolts
-Noct Beret +1
-Noct Doublet +1
-Noct Gloves +1
-Noct Brais +1
-Bounding Boots
-Ranger's Necklace
-Shield Earring (x2)
-Beetle Ring +1 (x2)
-Brave Belt
-Nomad Mantle


And my stats are:

STR = 36
DEX = 38
VIT = 33
AGI = 43
INT = 22
MND = 31
CHR = 27

Finally, I think my ranged damage is pretty cool now. I only used the Great Bow +1 and silver arrows during the short time I was online after I hit 30, but my damage (without Sharpshot or Squid Sushi) averaged at 68 points.


Overall, I think I'm doing quite well.

I need to remember to update my bio on the LS website too. 8)

You do look cool in that first picture. Noct gear looks goooodddd!!

Plus, you can now start coming on the Promyvion ENM runs which should help speed up your leveling (don't rely on them though otherwise your combat skills will fall behind).

Also, did you use Berserk? What did that do to your damage?

Oh and congratulatios. I can tell from your post how happy you are with this

[Tsingtao]

Congratulations Vanicent, good to see mate!

In other news no play for me last night but given that I'm intending on leaving Alla I can now be as offensive as I like. I'm currently working out what you have to say to get banned, my current pinacle is implying a players mother works a a whore so he can buy gil. I wonder how that will go ^^

[djtickle]

Not had much chance to get on myself either! Although i was online when Vanicent hit 30, last nite! Gratz!

I hit 53 last nite, and now have to get over 10k exp for the first time!

Lvlin in Kuftal was fun though! More of that tonite i think!

Need to get my AF3 and AF4 sorted now though, my armor is getting abit dated, not to mention G2.

[Tobal]

Your getting close to having your first piece of end game armor "the Haubie"(lvl 59), current price is around 6m, but it is worth the price.

Nice kit indeed. Have to work on that.

[Darwock]

That's quite a low craft level required for such an expensive item... what's the +1 go for? 30 million?

[djtickle]

hmmmm. Anyone in the LS got the skills to craft such a item?

[Tobal]

The items to make it are expensive, so it not worth trying to profit on until you at least 10 levels above the main craft, plus you?ll need your cloth and leather crafts up to 60 which will help, so that 3 high lvl crafts you need = uber expensive. I think the +1 is around 15m, but it?s been a while since I last looked.

[djtickle]

+1 would be very nice indeed.

Its on my list, most likley will be for a while lol.

Even if they had, you would still need to provode a Damascus Ingot which would likely come close to the cost of a Haubergeon anyway and is it worth the risk of spending the money on the ingredients and potentially have the synth fail and lose the expensive ingot?

Heh! Got ya ^^ Dammit! oh well looks like it saving time for me! Damm thats gonna take alot of farming to be able to afford one of these babies!

Im just looking forward to looking like a nut again, Corsair Hat and a Brig dont really make my look like a hard ass Dark Knight lol

[Tsingtao]

Dasmascus ingot current prices is around 5 - 5.5 million, with the other ingredients I beleive that the Haubie is a slight loss as an NQ and a 100% + profit as an HQ very similar to the scorpion harness.

My funds are somwhat depleted now, had to buy a new shild for Thursday as I sold my diamond to fund NIN, down to my last 1 million and I need a Nikkariaoe next level and not long after that comes Utsusemi:Ni. At the moment it looks like selling the Gluttony to pay for it, to be fair though I don't use it anymore not till the levle 60 cap CoPs anyway.

Think I might get on later and do a bit more ninja, level 30 will be nice to get in the bag and see me almost out of the jungles at last. In fact I may go all out and aim for 32 tonight and get onto the next zone.

Bad news is I'd quite like that katana from Tres Duendes in the aquaducts, did I hear people discussing another subligar run ><

[Darwock]

If we're going back into the aqueducts I would really like to kill the Mahisha (spelling?) in there for a sinister mask... the stupid thing is I've killed it before, seen the drop and passed on it not realising it was a NM taurus (I thought it was a regular one and I'd have another chance to get it).

Some may think it's a bit silly wanting this is as black mage (strength +2 intelligence +2) but it would help me for soloing where I don't actually nuke very often. I'd also quite fancy a set of BLM subligar to actually wear (a total of conserve MP +5 would be handy for Ancient Magic soloing too!) but given how hard it was to get last time I'm not gonna force that issue.
