misc update

Nothing much has been happening for me in FFXI as I’ve been spending more time watching DVD movies instead of seeking merit/level up PTs.

Thus, the lack of posts.

I’ll just summarise what I can remember!

Last haubergeon synth session gave me no HQs and I had my first break where I lost a damascus ingot. I woke up specially at 4am for this session so I went back to sleep easily and the sadness went away when I woke up. lol

Went on a Apollyon NW run with 3 BLMs and a COR. I was PLD. We killed the huge wyvern Cynoprosopi with 2 BLMs. One died and hit enter before the reraise menu showed up and ended up at his home point.

With about 20 minutes left, we managed to kill Kaiser Behemoth without taking a single point of damage. I think I’m able to judge the distance and time it so that it casts meteor at the nuking spot for BLMs, and then run out of meteor’s casting range. By the way, I dislike distance and TP plugins. :)

And with killing Kaiser Behemoth, we opened the last item chest and I finally got my DRK item. Just need 23 more ancient beastcoints now to upgrade my AF helm (Chaos Burgeonet +7 STR) and then I can sell my wyvern helm(+5 STR) and free up one inventory space.

I didn’t feel like buying those beastcoins because it costs 23*15,000=345,000gil. :(

NIN has reached LV56. Just 1 more till I can use hocho(cooking+3). I had a fun PT last night with lesser colibris just outside whitegate. Setup was WHM BLM BLU NIN NIN MNK. Thanks to 2 back to back LV8 besieges, there wasn’t a lot of people farming lesser colibris. Just one or two but farming spiders.

Though I had fun this PT, I still won’t take NIN to 75. It’s quite tedious trying to count shadows and stuff. And you seem to need a lot of expensive equipment for end-game tanking. I planned to stop at 60 but my friend wanted 61 for some WS so yea, I will stop at 61.

Speaking of end-game tanking, the recent Kirin I attended, as PLD/WAR to tank the 4 summons, there was once my HP dropped to 9 when Suzaku used chainspell and managed to fire off flare at me. Perhaps it’s because I knew my support would save me so I didn’t panic. RDM/DRK went into chainspell stun mode, I cured 4 myself and everything went back to normal.

Oh yes, I did it again for the 3rd time. Attempting to /besiegemap when I woke up while still on my bed. ( >_<)
