Final Fantasy XI Then...

[talizker]

Well, looks like I am free tonight now if you want to make a start on something. We all need to get the Uggalepih Offering before going after the Mitts - not sure if others like Tobal still need the Mitts also, I believe the Crimson-toothed Pawberry is a very hard fight. The ??? is a 2 hour spawn but you really need 2 people to check, one to open the doors, the other to go in and check (invisibled).

[Tobal]

i've given up my smn ways, cor is the way for me! I'm not in the mood for helping anyone out until i can get out of dunes, walking back and to from it is a total pain. Hopefully i'll break out tonight.

Agreed ~ you really need to stay until you are done for sure. Will be back there in a week or two...!

[talizker]

All this talk of Mitts, while fun and exciteing and all, I still want to be concentrating on Lv70 and the Testimony... If Tsing and DJ are free tonight I suggest we try for these while assisting Tsing WS thingy.

lol, its cool, I won't be on until after that anyway

[Tsingtao]

Well we'll start with the testimony's but I think I'm out tonight, I'll let you know when I know for sure. Might be best to let tal get his level 70 first then start to worry on the others, the extra levels will help with the farming unless you need your right now DJ?

[djtickle]

Na not really matey, was just thinking of somthing to do to break up the EXP thats all

Ill hit the exp again then tonite and get a good buffer into 68, if your on about the same time tail we should pty together

[djtickle]

Ding dong,

well hit 68 hard last night and got over half way through it. Picked up my new armor for my hands (Thick).

Also picked up a Drksteal scythe as they are 80k and more dmg than a Vassagos.

Getting abit skint now so gonna have to watch the spending, as i need money for stuff to give Maat a good kicking.

Anyone else up to much?

[Tobal]

Managed to take Cor from 18 to 19 1/2, sadly the dice dealer in AL Zabi been kidnapped so I can?t get Healer?s Roll to go onto Qufim tonight.

Managed to have a fun meriting session last night netting 32k EXP in 3 hours. Gave me enough to upgrade katana skill modification to level 4 and leaving me with just another 8k to lvl5. After speaking with Saerik last night though I?m having a bit of crisis of confidence in my meriting skills plan of Katana 8 Evasion 4 as it leaves no option to merit other skills for other jobs.

Whilst I am highly NIN-centric I do plan to level other jobs (THF, WAR, BLM and BLU notably). 3 of those would benefit from Sword merits (which would be wasted on my NIN (although my Suppanomimi adds 5 sword skill) and meriting Dagger for THF and early weapon skills is also appealing. Bit unsure what to do.

Have to say I?ve become a hypocrite. I always said I wouldn?t rely on TP Burn parties and would give ?regular? EXP parties a go but the previous 2 nights of poor non-TP burns have put me off. Last night I gained 32k EXP and used 1 stack of Shihei whereas the same amount of shihei netted me 5k EXP the nights before (and a lot more enfeebling tools). Spending more money for less EXP seems like a stupid option.

Me and Moot would like to merit again tonight as well. Hopefully Wedge would be up for it to try Seagull Grounded again then some level 2 (I?m thinking Lebros Cavern and Mamool Ja Training Grounds)

[Tsingtao]

If you want to TP burn tonight Rare any room for me at 74 now so should be able to porovide useful input to the damage. TP gain as well is fast these days with dual weild and Joyeuse.

Last night I just killed the Dune and suprisingly got no drop. I was hoping to go get the ancient salt from the sand diggers in quicksand but found them to be behind one of those multiple people to open doors

I need level 2s, so count me in!

Not planning to EXP tonight. Some TV I watch at 9 on Thursday evenings which basically comes slapbang in the middle of the evening which is not good for EXP. That is why I suggested Assault for later in the evening.

Before that I?ve got some questing to do. Need to hand in my Jody?s Acid and convert some of last night?s Imperial Standing into Bronze Coins for the Walahra Turban. Should be extremely close now (was 155 coins short at last check). Also I will have 5000 IS left over (I?ve been keeping a considerable buffer otherwise I?d have turban now) if anyone is interested in trying some ISNM for some gil.

Also, managed to progress in Fellowship G3 last night so can finish that off and aim for capping my NPC?s EXP.

Also, speaking off Jody?s Acid, I got the impression that people were annoyed that I obtained this solo. My intention was not to exclude people when doing this. I thought people knew me well enough by now that I aim to progress through the game without guides and spoilers from other people, and attempting to push myself and solo what I can (remember, I am the guy who the day after getting Sky went up and entered a AA fight solo and actually tried to fight the AA Elvaan. Spirits Within put an end to that). I didn?t know for sure that what I planned to kill would drop the Acid (although the clue I received in Nashmau was pretty clear) but I knew that if I announced on the LS I was going for the Acid someone would offer to help/team up and tell me what it was I needed to kill rather than letting me figure it out for myself. Turns out I got incredibly lucky and got drop first kill.

But that was all it was. Should people want me to help them obtain their Acid I am more than willing to do so and if a LS farming group is setup, I?ll help with that too.

[djtickle]

Cool, there is quite a few of us in the LS that need the Acid so if we all grab it this weekend maybe we could try the next mission together as its a 6 man jobbie.

Think at the moment I'm just a bit lost for focus, I'm at one of those stages where there is so much to do it seems overwhelming. Think I need to sort out my to do list and start prioritising, guess PLD to 75 should be first. I'm also interested in the Opo-opo crown but more because I can than I need it.

Looking at the crown I do need some LS help, especially with the huricane wyverns and getting to the sand diggers.

I'll have to ahve a think and see in what order I'm going to get things done.
