Go go runfastpants! (FFXI)
Warning: This is a really rambling post.
With maintenance extended until 10 last night, I wouldn't have logged on at all last night if I hadn't parked my toon in Castle O. Popped on as soon as I could get the Play button to appear.
I was the first person in Castle O. Gave myself a second to let things load, then started running. Nothing, nothing, nothing... popped invis, still nothing. Of course, it popped behind the brass door. /sigh
Slept the 2 Yags in the Torch Stand room, popped the torch, cast invis again, and ran for it. No luck, but I was damn close. Logged to clear hate and tried again, making sure I had invis ready to hit this time (was on the wrong macro row the first time).
Bless those Crimson Cuisses, it worked! Barely, and I mean the camera angle changed on me I was so close, but I got in. Twice, because I'm an idiot and didn't actually look behind the password thingy the first time.
Also, I'm glad I didn't find that Nest Chest Sunday night. In looking through the walkthrough for the boots quest again, I hadn't talked to Curilla again after that scene in the Cathedral. Turns out there are more chest spawn spots on the map I didn't check, either. Already logged out in Pashhow to farm water clusters. Hopefully that won't take too long, and I will have time run to Sandy, get the CS, and at least search for a chest before (less expensive!) Limbus. If I'd been awake enough, I'd have done that this morning. Oh well.
Was hoping not to have to farm water clusters this evening, but no such luck. Not that many up, and water crystal stacks were 1500 gil and up. I can afford it, but I'm just cheap that way. Randomly hitting bazaars otw back to my MH, there was someone with a bunch of Gold Rings in their bazaar. This got me to thinking that whoever made the rings should just desynth them, which reminded me that I want to get rid of the water energy in my MH.
I forked over the gil for the 2 Dressers on the AH and re-arranged furniture this morning. The 2 remaining 9-Drawer Almirahs still give me a Water Moghancement. Hopefully, a 3rd Dresser will get rid of that. I'd like to keep at least one Almirah since I can't put my 4 chocobo plaques (only kept the non-yellow ones) or Bonbori on a Dresser. The plaques and Bonbori are half of my "decorative" furnishings (my 3 flags, a bed, and Windurstian bamboo tree are the other items), and I'd like to have a place to put them other than the floor.
