Final Fantasy XI Then...

Dj, have you cleared lvl 1 Mamool Ja Training Grounds yet? If not I?ll definitely help you with that as I need a lot more points there. Pretty sure Moot and Saerik would be game too as they also need the points. Would suggest capping at lvl70 as I need good evasion and many of my best pieces for that are in the 61-70 range.

[djtickle]

Yup ive cleared, Leujaoam Sanctum and Mamool Ja Training Grounds.

Im after a Chivalrous Chain, which assault do i get that from? I dont mind doing any really but it will be nice if we can do any of the others

[Tsingtao]

I'm back!

Well after a week of training in London and a weekend of beer in Leicester I'm back home. Think I may have a bit of a play later, thugh pub is quite tempting. Anyway following the usual hiddeous time in the Dunes I've reached level 12 on RDM anyone want to party up?

As for other stuff, I need more assaults (specifically for chiv chain) and clearances on all level 2s. Other than that I'm up for some acid farming for ToAU if anyone else needs it....

[C']

Chivalrous Chain is 8000 points from Lebros Cavern. It?s a wicked piece of gear and well worth the effort to obtain. I mine

[djtickle]

If we can do a Lebros Cavern that would be great i really want that chain

Tsing, i need to farm that Acid too. Im up for that also

Any other assaults is good for me also.

[Tsingtao]

Ok I'm currently sat in Valkurm dunes geared for RDM but I can easily fix, so any interest in a low level static to blow the dunes away?

It does seem to have got much worse there of late, Friday night was 4 parties for a total of 300 xp. Saturdays was much better making around 6k in 2 hours, problem is no one seems to have a clue right now. I joined one which was all one LS up to rank 5s and they couldn't even pull without links.

[Darwock]

I popped on briefly on saturday to clear my final auctions and found it an absolute nightmare to control with a laptop keyboard and a touchpad - took me about 15 minutes just to warp to Jeuno and get into my moghouse! I'd thought about running around re-watching cutscenes but don't fancy it after that experience. So as I said to those who were on the LS I think that's it - the sh!t is hitting the fan trying to get my final preparations made and I don't think I will have any spare time left before my laptop gets returned.

Big thanks to everyone who has helped out and made the experience what it was, also thanks for putting up with all my ranting and moaning over the past couple of years. And I'd like to say a big F*CK YOU to two special friends - Mahisha and Noble Mold (who thought I was gonna say Tobal & Daragon?), die die die die die die die.... I will be having bad dreams about these two arse-bandits for the next fifty years. I would log on and kill them both for revenge (again) but they wouldn't drop anything.



I found out that I'm going to be living in Osaka (I half expected to be in some sh!tty industrial backwater) which is handy for people visiting so if any of you find yourselves out there drop me a line, I still plan on checking NTSC-UK but I will most likely be steering clear of this thread!

[Tsingtao]

Good luck mate and I sincerely hope you manage to get online once you're settled. Rest assured you'll be missed and may manage to provide the impetus I need for a trip to Japan, was planning a trip to Australia so could drop in on a lay over

In other news any further thoughts on a farewell beer in the real world, I for one would buy you a farewell pint. Be a shame to see you go without some sort of LS send off, I've spent more time with you over the last 2 years than several real mates.

[djtickle]

LOL love that picture, made me laugh. Good luck D hope to see you around again soon. Can we not have a online get together b4 you shoot off?

Tsing - Dont know how much of a rush you want to lvl Rdm but i need to lvl Blm shortley but wont be for about 2 weeks, im up for a static then though.

[Tsingtao]

I can wait for 2 weeks, I'm in no rush. Talizker mentioned he had a lewl 10 WAR as well, I may continue with RDM and level DRG with you guys then. The other alternative would be SMN been waiting for that as well or maybe bard.

[djtickle]

Sounds cool to me, at 25 i can change to Whm should help us out some more in getting parties together

[Tsingtao]

Cool RDM I'm taking to 41 and SMN probably as well, DRG is just a toy for some DD fun. We ought to have a look who has what to level as my NIN is still 37 and I really want to reach 40 with that at least.

Other question is LS parties, now I'm 74 I'd be game for some levelling with the merit parties. Anyone interested, I can go full on TP burn and if I get savage blade should be up to spec.

[djtickle]

In the next 2 weeks i hope to achive -

Lvl 70 Drk.
Upgrade to Thick armor.
Testimony and Maats Death
Lvl 37 War currentley at 30.
More ZM or CoP or Rank missions. (No rush thou apart from maybe ZM to keep up with the current guys.)
Assault and Chiv Chain.
Lvl Blm
----------------------------------------
Fellowship NPC quests if i have any extra time.

BCNM60 would be nice as i have a orb still, Apa is back tomorrow so might be a good time to get together. Rare you coming to tank as we owe you one?

[C']

I will come back on tanking duty but including me in drops would only work if the exact same group go again and we consider it a continuation of the previous run. If you swap in Apathye the whole sell and split thing becomes skewed.

Other than that I don?t have much on. My focus right now is meriting (working on my 4th katana merit currently) and missions. I?m helping the current ZM runs in order that Kuponut gets up to Ark Angels so we have a WHM up to that stage. Me and Moot are keen to beat them so we can finish this story arc and focus on Promathia and I know a number of others have expressed interest in battling the AA.

Very few pieces of equipment I need right now are buyable (Dusk Gloves and Peacock Charm being the exceptions). The majority of what I need comes from Dynamis, HNMs or CoP related.

[djtickle]

hmmm. yeah i see your point i was thinkin of doin it as a 7 man swap out, maybe we should help Dara with the Sleepga 2 nm when we all get a mo?

Otherwise it would be unfair on Apa.
