I've been taking a break from FFXI for a while now, but with a patch on the horizon I'm trying to get back up to speed in case they're releasing sea gods and I can play ( Read more... )

I wrote up a list of goals I wanted to accomplish before this patch came out ( Read more... )

Things are still pretty quiet in game while waiting for the patch. BLM is going pretty good, but I took a break from it to level up RDM sub. 7 to 29 in about a week's worth of getting PLed a few hours a day. I decided to splurge and get a few of the remaining reasonable upgrades left for my THF (War Gloves +1, War Boots, Bomb Core, and 2x Merman ( Read more... )

I've been busy getting my BLM in gear before the next patch rolls around, which means I just need to get 525,000 xp in the next 3 weeks (´д｀) to have it at 75 by then (and that's not even counting the meripo I want). Doable if I find a static and quit life for the next 3 weeks ( Read more... )

I am writing this update having had several days to reflect upon the significance of what's happened. For several months now, my HNMLS has been stuck in sort of a rut. Well, not exactly, but Steam Cleaner went MIA for two months, leaving us with only two endgame options: Dynamis and "The Big Three." Thanks to a lot of work, we managed to win a ( Read more... )

Ever since this last patch, I've found myself just overwhelmed with the number of things to do. A lot of it is done just delicately enough that it's a big time sink but it doesn't feel like it's that bad. Still got tons of stuff to do, and people still wanting to camp old HNMs makes it even harder to fit everything in. Nonetheless, lots of stuff ( Read more... )

Been busy playing around with the new update. Sea is barely implemented, but it's definitely a cool place so far. Even though the patch hasn't been 100% what I was hoping for (I think it'd be naive to think any patch would be that great), there's plenty of stuff to do until the next update. *Tons* of new meripo upgrades, new ENM battles which ( Read more... )

After spending a good month and a half flagging some new people through 4nations dynamis, along with a nice farming run that resulted in getting Cleric's Briault, Monster Gaiters, Bard's Justacorps, and a nice big zenmetsu at the end, we found ourselves back in Beaucedine to clear again. I don't remember how many times we've done Beaucedine, but I ( Read more... )

I have a Level 75 Mithra Thief character named Quicklet on the Bahamut server, and I've been playing FFXI since the PC release in October 2003. FFXI has been a very enjoyable game in many respects, but it also has its problems, of which I will probably expound upon in great detail over the course of my posting. With the release of World of ( Read more... )
