First FFXI post~
So, for a while, I thought I might have been done with FFXI.. but, I'm really not there yet. I still enjoy the game immensely. (I'm sorry, Yvee!). Anyways, I thought I would take some time and make a post about FFXI (behind a cut, of course! I know there are a lot of people uninterested in it on my friend list).
To begin with, my character is a Tarutaru on the server Kujata called Lornkeit; I am in the endgame linkshell Shogun.
These posts for FFXI will mainly cover my Ninja, but I will put in things about my Black Mage, since it's a job I do a lot of things on for Shogun. As of late, I've been focusing on my Ninja more than my Black Mage, but I've tried not to forget the latter.
-NIN gear rundown-
-TP gear-
With this setup, I have 37 accuracy (which is working out very nicely), and a mere 8% haste gear.
Things I'd like/need:
-Byakko's Haidate
-Diabolos's Earring
-Swift Belt
-Brutal Earring
-Dusk Gloves
-Sniper's Ring
-Hope Torque
At the moment, my rings are Venerer/Woodsman. I'd like to replace both of these with a Sniper's Ring on each slot: 2 more accuracy than Venerer, and getting rid of the yucky Evasion-5 on Woodsman. I'd like to point out that those gloves are Horomusha Kote (ATT+15), and were lent to me by Sawaa, another Shogun member and a friend. I'm hopefully getting the new, rare/ex version of Ochiudo's Kote this weekend sometime (ATT+20, Eva-5) for WS. I'd like to get a pair of Dusk Gloves to get a Haste gear setup started: I'll mainly focus on accuracy and haste gear for TPing in. A Hope Torque to replace my Spectacles would be great, but it's something that doesn't really drop too often, and there are other people who need it.
For earrings, I'm obviously keeping in the Suppanomimi fulltime. My friend Serra and I plan to get prim-o evasion gear, cap dagger skill and duo Limbus together for coins. With those, I'll be saving for a Brutal Earring. I plan on getting a Diablos's earring to wear until that time.
I'm actually very satisfied with my Ninja's TP gear at the moment, minus the gloves. Just a matter of time, though. But it's going well.
-WS gear-
I'm lucky enough to have a Breeze Gorget and a Rajas Ring, but, other than that, this set of gear isn't out-there spectacular. The Woodsman Ring works nicely for me, and the Rutter Sabatons are great.
Things I'd like/need:
-Waetoto's Earring: I couldn't find a picture of this, stats: STR+2 VIT+1 Level 55, Tarutaru only.
Triumph Earring
-Haubergeon
-Optical Hat
A Haubergeon would be better for WS than Koga Chainmail, though it's only slightly so, I'm sure. I can live without it for a while. The Optical Hat is for Accuracy, until I can get a Shura Zunari Kabuto(ACC+5 STR+5), though I'm told the order that they go in is: +1 Kabuto -> OHat -> Kabuto. A Waetoto's Earring is a definite want of mine, and the Triumph's Earring would be there until the Brutal Earring came in. I've read on forums that it doesn't go off on WS, but, meh. It saves me a macro slot. :)
As for HNM and other endgame things, I haven't re-bought my gear for all of that, yet. I was sitting at 1100 or so HP for tanking with Physical Damage-% gear on. I'm going to work on HP merits- but I'm posting about merits at another time. At the moment, I'm barely over 1k.
Things I need:
-Jelly ring
-BQ Ring
-Mermaid ring
-Arhat's Gi +1
-Morukaka's Earring
-Eris' earring
-Harmonia's torque
-Seiryu's kote
Of course, for some specific fights, a lot more specific stuff is needed, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. This is what I want to get for general endgame tanking. Frankly, for the moment, I'm not stressing over it. If I take my Ninja on events for Shogun, it's for things that I tank in melee gear.
Ok, this is it for now. >< Bleh. This has tired me out quite a bit, hahah. I'll make another post some other time with Black Mage gear and such things.
