Seer’s!

Back to the game, I took 5 days to level both my white and black mage jobs to 29. Somehow my EXP parties decided to disband before I reach 30. Doesn’t really matter since I just want to be able to put on the Seer’s set and get rid of the ugly San d’Orian tunic and other low level mage equipment.


I bought part of my Seer’s set from this Galka’s bazaar back then. He was shouting about quitting the game and selling his stuff at dirt cheap prices. Bought the mitts, tunic, slacks for a price of 10,000gil only. The crown and pumps I had to get them myself later on.


Now that I’m done with my mage jobs, it’s time to set new goals. For my dark knight job, I need 1 more sniper ring and if possible, an amemit mantle+1. Total cost approximately 1.5 million gil. I have on-hand, measly 300,000gil. Probably visiting the mines again and try again to seek for a party this coming Sunday.

My thoughts of WHM and BLM to 29.


Levelling white mage at Valkurm Dunes was a little stressful. There’s a high possibility of having novice players in your party. But somehow I managed to survive from 16-29 without any deaths! But of course, I have members who die. Some because of goblin/bogy aggro, links, and 2 deaths because I couldn’t get Benediction activated for them in time. I just needed 1 more second!! ( T-T)


Overall I didn’t find playing white mage exciting. All the while I do repetitive stuff. Protectra! Shellra! Paralyze! Slow! Dia! Regen! Spam cures! Then rest and recover MP.


Black mage is the same for me. Shock! Blind! Blizzard, Fire, Thunder! Rest a tick for tanks to get a good amount of hate before getting up and start nuking again to kill it off.


To be safe and courteous, I crafted my own Pineapple Juice and put {Amateur} {White Mage/Black Mage} in my search comments to warn people before inviting me.

During the course of levelling both mage jobs, I got invited by Japanese players on a few occasions even when I’m not on seek and with empty search comments. It’s not surprising since both mage jobs are highly sought after and since it’s in the low levels, it’s not a big deal to lose exp through deaths.


While in JP PTs, I sometimes respond to sentences they say. Then when asked if I understand Japanese, I say “hai, sukoshii” (yes, a little), and they seemed glad. I still don’t understand how the Japanese players think of NAs but I’m quite sure getting an invitation into a Japanese party for higher levels like my 62 dark knight is near impossible. And don’t tell me about forming my own parties because I have received either rude or no response at all from Japanese players. Enough to discourage me from forming my own PTs forevermore.


And so, I whine! [X|]

Here’s screenshots of me in Seer’s set equipment. Low res because I took them at work and my PC in office sucks.

Love the markings and color scheme.
