Final Fantasy XI Then...

[C']

At some point I'll have to get another Rargh pearl logged back on today for the first time in weeks.

Both myself and TObal are sackholders os if you see either of us around, we should be able to get you a pearl if you're still interested.

CAUTION: Linkshell list may be in danger of needing to be scrolled if we receive many more members.

Are we retrying SW Limbus tonight? Now we have a solid idea how to do it.

Enter as Hume/Taru
How to pop the chest on flr 4 etc.
Chest control.

As I said after the last run, I have an evening class tonight so can't make it.

Probably for the best though if you were wanting me to pull again

I assumed we would be either tonight or tomorrow but isn't Hudooo clearing the ASA fight in Full Moon Fountain priority for this evening?

At the minute the server has imploded creating a hole in time/space. Once people can actually log in again, we can't buy soap until 8:30pm, so hopefully try and squeeze it in before hand.

The entire POL server seems to have collapsed on itself with it taking multiple attempts to just log in to POL Viewer and then eventually got to the title screen but "could not connect to lobby server" and was chucked out again and now I'm informed that I do not have an active content ID.

I have a confession to make. This is probably all my fault. On my lunch breaks at work this week i've been reading old posts in this thread from years ago and today was reading the mid-2006 9shortly after ToAU's release). A lot of the time then it seems we'd make elaborate plans for that evening's activities (CoP, ENMs, Assault etc.) only for them to be regularly scuppered by an emergency mainetnance. Clearly I've created some kind of temporal paradox and brought the issues of 2006 into 2010.

Perhaps any minute now Darwock will post saying that this is a great opportunity to see if Mahisha is up.

Hitting everyone, in every region.

Did you guys manage this tonight? I'd really like to try and fit in my 2 limbus runs a week so I can at least sort out the double attack earring. Thursdays are ****e for me though right now

[Rep]

There's a major routing issue which is effecting all regions. It's nigh on impossible to log into Playonline, let alone get into the game itself. For the lucky few that had managed to get in playtime lasts all of about 2mins (I was booted out 4 times). Has been in this state for about 9 hours now.

[Daragon]

That sucks any idea when you'll be limbusing next?

[C']

I guess there is a chance we could run tonight (appears that the login problems were sorted as I got in this morning) but if not I'm likely going to push on with MNK up to level 25.

Currently at level 20 if anyone has any jobs they want to level and is interested in syncing to 20 for some easy Qufim EXP.

[Daragon]

I think I have SAM in the early 20s I wouldn't mind taking to at least 37 for possible RNG subbing.

[Rep]

Going to be taking a break this week while I sort my **** out, final week of uni and all that jazz.

I really enjoyed things this weekend.

Picked up another 0.2 parrying skill up on Friday taking me up to 267 (out of 269). Desperate to get this capped before the update in June that increases the level cap (as I don't expect to ever cap it once the level cap goes up).

MNK is now Lv.27 and with the assistance of Dara's Treasure Hunter got a pair of Boreas Cesti 1/1 so got a prety clear run to 37 where it will likely stop (despite several people trying to convince me otherwise but I already have my eye on what job is going to 75 next. Great Axes look pretty awesome don't you think?

Whilst I've still got some rust I still need to shake off when it comes to tanking big things that 8-man Genbu was enjoyable. Was so uneventful for the first 60% or so then an unfortunately timed Poisonga right after reapplying Utsusemi left me stranded. Really though the more I went over the fight the more I /facepalm over the mistakes I made. Firstly not using the PDT macro set. I even reshuffled a my macro sets around so this was easy access in emergencies and in the panic never used it. Secondly, capping hate was never really hard anyway and Yonin has only made this easier so there was really no need for me to be spamming Stun whenever it was available for hate gain after the first minute or so. Whilst the Poisonga casting was too quick to Stun itself, having the Stun ready to allow some time to recast Utsusemi would have been far more useful.

Once hate was capped I should have also looked at idling in more eva gear too.

Just scribbled some kind of event timetable thing, which incorporates other shell events too. Obviously even I wouldn't stick to it 100%, as I often enjoy walking away from my PC occasionally.

Monday: Limbus

Tuesday: Dynamis

Wednesday: Einherjar

Thursday: VNM / Limbus

Friday: VNM

Saturday: Nyzul Isle / Dynamis

Sunday: Einherjar / KS-BCNM
