Final Fantasy XI Then...

Superb good to see we have some interest, current roster I have

Daragon - BLM
Wedge - BST or BRD
Tsingtao - PLD
Talizker - RDM
Xandman - PLD
Bababooey - PLD
Rabs - DRK or THF
Tobal - SAM
Bababooeys friend - BRD
Bevan - PLD
Djtickle - DRK
Rarehero - NIN
Kuponut - WHM
Moot - WAR

So looking at that we're starting up well, looks like our kites are going to be mainly PLDs. I'm happy to do this as many times on one day as it takes. With this in mind we need to see how many Ark Pentaspheres we have. Currently I only know of mine...

The run will be on a Sunday, probably start it around 20:00 GMT (15:00 EST) and keep going until we're done. It will be a zombie run so reraise and the likes are needed.

Looks like we need DD and healing.

<Added DJ sorry mate hard to remember everyone>
<added Moot, Rare and Kupo>

[djtickle]

hey Tsing what about Bere? I bet he will want in also

Oh i forgot to mention i have the new record for beating Maat as drk woot!

Phew well not much play for me yesterday due to being basically shot, however did get 2 things done. I traded my demon pen and went and fought the related NM afterwards, now I've made an important discovery and need some help, probably at least 3 other people.

In other news thanks to Rabs, Bababooey, Djtickle, Rarehero, Meric, and Daragon for coming to help fight the condemned mobs in Bostaneaux Obliette. A most successful fight and smoother than expected given no healers. Both Meric and Rabs took one for the team but in the end the mobs were very generous. Both dropped all their goodies, so 2 masks, 1 crossbow and the Ascalon. So I am now the proud owner of the funkiest looking GS in the game, another target achieved thanks to Rargh and its people.

Next target on the list is San d'Oria 7-2, will put in some real effort to get this done.

Then comes Bastok to rank 10, windy to rank 10 and then Sandy to rank 10. Once thats done I can finally start tto gather my OP warps.

Good night last night even thou BCNM was cancelled.

Manged to help Tsing out and then get all my lvl1 assaults done apart from Periqia which sadley took us too long. Looks like that one needs a full team to get it done quickley so if anyones up for that would be great so i can move onto lvl2's!

BCNM is now arranged for sunday at 2pm dont forget people. Hopefully we can fit in a AA run on saturday but with being on last night and made arrangments with maria for tonite didnt want to push my luck setting a defo time for that. As its the only time over the weekend that i dont have anything allocated for FF. But ive just thought that its bank holiday monday on erm.. monday so im good for AA then as well if we dont get it done on sat.

Other things Dara picked up his O-Hat cluster of a chap in Whitegate for a spanking 900k which i found So thats one more person ready for that run.

I have also been apcepted into Dynacore so looks like my first Dynamis run is going to be soon!

And before you all fall asleep reading this post, heres my blog of it all... lol

If youve not checked it out and left me comments yet shame on you.

[djtickle]

Um... Any reason i seem to be the only Drk i can find on Dynacore?

A busy last few days for me.

I started leveling Warrior as a sub option for my Bst, it was already at 25 but I managed to get it to 30 so far, got to get back to this soon, if anyone wants a level 30 party let me know.

I did the Bomb Queen NM with AaD, I have my main job set as Bst within the HNMLS now which means I go as Bst unless Brd is specifically needed, it was alot more fun than before simply because I was in on the action. This NM spawns smaller bombs every 15 or so seconds, so I along with all the Smn's went solo and we all setup a claim order for the spawns, we each took our turn claiming a bomb, pulled it to the back out of range of everyone and soloed them, ran back ready for the next, it was quite easy but its one of those things which could easily go wrong. I think we ended up doing this NM about 5 or 6 times and I only died on the first one which was before we set the claim order.

Next up was a KSNM30 ODS with Rare and some others on AaD.

We had a decent drop on the first orb then nothing for the next four, then on Beregorns orb (last orb) we hit the jackpot and got a V.Claw, D.Ingot, O.ingot. In total just over 10 Million gil worth which works out about 1.7mil each, a nice bit of gil ^^. Oh and Rare everything has sold so your share is ready whenever you want to collect.

Strait after this it was a quick visit to Aht Urghan to change jobs and then off to Attohwa Chasm for the Rostrum Pumps NM, again I went as Bst (the one and only there) and got put on the adds team, basically I would help fight the adds with a charmed Antilon and if any other antilon spawned nearby I would go off and solo them.
This was quite a fun NM but way too many people needed it, I think 10 or so wanted it so it was a long and repetative session and we still have more to do today.

Finished up with Assault with DJ, Yen, Rabs and Daragon, plus some outsiders. We failed on the first wall mission due to forgetting where the last wall was located, beat it the second time and then beat the Ilirous Atoll, which once again was over very quick, then failed Periqia and I died and lost 75 Brd again... which brings me onto:

I need to get a decent buffer on Brd so if anyone wants a LS party 73-75 let me know.

Am sure you guys have seen this before but its put a smile on my face today ...

Inspires me to start taking a bit more video of my adventures ... certainly with Chakmool as she's still relatively at the start of her career .... of course the decent soundtrack really sets it off.

[djtickle]

Looking more like we'll need to do 2 or more runs to get everyone through my suspsicion is 2 - 5 as we will lose 1 or 2 attempts. What we need now is DD ^^

Beregorn mentioned this earlier on LS but thought I'd link to it in case anyone hasn't seen it.

AAlso, it mentions that S-E Europe PR Manager is Alex Huhtala. Kudos to anyone who recognises his name from something video game releated in the past
