Final Fantasy XI Then...

[talizker]

I can't believe that I have only just realised, this morning, that I only need my BLM sub at Lv37... for some reason I had Lv38 in my head. This makes the @1700 > Lv37 and another crap night without my LS friends even more annoying. It was a late start for me after 24 and after waiting an hour for an invite (having seen loads of other lfg people get parties - how I wish i'd started my own first off...), we then waited another hour @5 for a tank, which we never got. Logged off at 12am with absolutely no progress made. /sigh

Are we doing CoP 4-3 tonight? I don't think there is much preperation needed, just 1 CS, but is everyone available (and has anyone told Mos?).

[Darwock]

I'll be there. What is this one? sneaking mission? boss battle? I'm trying to save gil for the big push to 70 so if we have to creep around I'll sub red mage.

[Tobal]

Well If everyone?s online tonight we?ll go for it, so if someone finds mosley before I get on around 7pm tell him about it.

Last night started of badly, teleported in the woods and ran to the city to find the Mabloro do agro, which really mad me angry as in the man times before I?ve ran past them I haven?t agro, lucky I wasn?t far from the city and Wedge raise me in time for besieged which I ended up as lvl 19 whm for?. 80exp and 100is.

After it finished Meric, wedge, rab and I formed a party got a whm and a war and exp?d on tough and vt?s much like sky but with in even faster repop?s, ended up making 22-25k exp in 2 and half hours. I?m thinking about levelling and subbing corsair to use corsair?s roll for exp gain, in those situations.

7th great katana upgrade getto!

I can do CoP Mission tonight.

[Tsingtao]

I should be cool for tonight I'll get on and get the ground work done. I would like if possible to get my map while we're at it in the Sacrarium so I intend to trigger that as well.

Why not bench the xp on BLM talizker and we'll just organise an ENM to finish it off with? Seems the easiest route to me and I'm sure we could get a few together if we used the old school and do them right. How about Monday instead of doing an xp party we do 2 (maybe 3) x ENM that way we can go all LS and not have to worry. How about:

Talizker
Darwock
Tobal
Wedgemoon
Tsingtao
Mosley

Use the CoP static as we know we know each other well, may even be able to do all 3 if we really get it done right. If we really get it down might even be time for a trip up to Monarch Linn. 11.5k xp and a load of gil if we get lucky, how does that sound?

We can define jobs as we go, I'd have WHM, PLD, WAR, THF and NIN available.

Yeah, that sounds perfect dude - Exp and hopefully some Gil ^_^

[Darwock]

At lower levels I'd have said no until I'd had a chance to cap my magic skills via xp, but looking at the 27,500 tnl I now have I think I'll get plenty opportunity to do that. It still fills me with apprehension though, memories of recent attempts are not easy to shake off.

For promyvions I have BLM, RDM, SMN and I favour using them in that order. For any others it's pretty much BLM only.

Monday's the bank holiday innit, reckon I might try 'pulling the strings' during the day.. I've been putting that off for a while.

[Tsingtao]

We could go for the approach that you do the first one on RDM and Talizker on BLM then reverse for the runs after if thats not to difficult to sort gear for. That way Tal dings then can move to either WHM or RDM for the rest of the runs.

We are going to get these right though, no running around like idiots and getting agro, no running out of the BC, no splitting the group in 2 and dieing, no I'm just going to look at x, no I think we can just about make it. We do it the way we used to together with 1 leader and no messing about.

Personally I would prefer to use PLD if I can as I know it best but I'm open to the others.

Perfect for me. Once BLM=37 then I am happy to put Exp on RDM or WHM.

Just been reading up on this CoP mission and I think its going to have to be broken down into two sessions.

As for ENMs im available as Bst, Brd, Drk, Whm and preferred in that order as Drk and Whm are jobs im not interested in lvling too much.

[djtickle]

Im up for a ENM i can come as drk

[Daragon]

Just wondering, has anyone read this?

http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_bannable-offenses_archive.html

its a blog of someone who's "apparently" a GM for FFXI in which he talks about amusing situations in which he's punished RMT or self proclaimed retards by sending them to jail and then having them killed by the dragon Jormangand.

Now I strongly believe this to be some nut job's attempt at humor rather than a genuine GM, but it's pretty funny either way so might be worth a read.

[Darwock]

From my one and only encounter with a GM (so not exactly conclusive), that is blatantly not one. The one I spoke to wouldn't even say 'merry christmas', it was 'happy holiday season if you celebrate one'. I made some joke about them assisting my suicide and got quoted the guidebook on suicide threat procedures.. they seem to be very very constricted in terms of what they are allowed to say to customers. That guy is full of it, especially as logs are kept.

[Tsingtao]

My only call was ok, the GM was conversational and even concurred that it would be nice if Jeuno was a little less like a Kindergarten then saat quietly and did for Saeriks mule and Prokchop.

[talizker]

Do people really have enough free time to make that up???
