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. ( >_<)

A bird’s nest and other random stuff

Mum told me a bird had built it’s nest right outside the gates of our home.

It flew into my house and into my room last night. Took a bit of effort to shoo it out. It’s a small yellow bird with a long beak. Don’t know what species that is.

I bought this little Japanese police car and left it on top of my second LCD monitor just for decoration.

I found my Optimus Prime action figure toy! The arms were removable and thus, missing. :(

The container at the back was missing too. It’s probably still somewhere in my house, in one of those boxes, but I’m too lazy to search for it!

the lolAegis plan – 02

Finally got another relic shield from Dynamis-Jeuno.

Had Tuufless synth an orichalcum sheet for me. I had the ingot in my mogsafe for a while now.

First synth broke. I was like, "lol, nevermind". Then I went to AH and bought another. Second synth broke. Wow… I’m really unlucky today.

Tuufless was 87+2, and with advanced support, he’s 1 level above the item cap. Anyway, he had some stuff lying around, bought some materials from the AH and donated a 3rd one. Thanks! :D

Brought the materials and ancient currency to the goblin in Castle Zvahl and traded. I did it on Sunday, so I don’t know if you had to wait for JP midnight or conquest tally. I went on Monday morning to pick it up.

One step closer towards lolAegis. Hell awaits. But let’s just focus on the next stage yea? ;)

Transformers 2007 movie

I watched it last Friday. To me, it was awesome.

There are many reviews that either give it a poor rating or a very good rating. I assume hardcore fans and people who don’t know much about Transformers, won’t like it.

I watched it when I was a little kid, even though I didn’t understand what was being said and what was going on in the cartoons, lol. I still remember having the Optimus Prime toy. Hmmm, I should go find it. May be worth hundreds! 

The one scene where I heard Optimus Prime say "Autobots, ROLL OUT!", I felt a strong urge to cheer out "yea!!". This is the best nostalgic moment.

I enjoyed it a lot. Only thing I didn’t like was how they threw some "romance" elements into it.

The last few scenes sort of hinted that there could be part 2. Not surprised when I think of Spiderman and Pirates of the Carribean.

Also, I watched the first 5 episodes of Season 1 of the Transformers cartoon last night. :)

Second Haubergeon+1

Yessssss!

And the day, vana time, moon phase was exactly the same as when I got my first HQ.

4th session: 1/6

First HQ that I sold, 500k went to my main char to clear some debts. 500k went to my "shopping" mule which I save up gil to buy stuff from my wish list. 2m went to my "investments" mule which I use to fund these Haubergeon synths. Last 1m went to my smithing mule to fund smithing skill ups.

I haven’t been skilling up smithing, I left it at 81. Didn’t want to power level it but the profitable synths at this level sell very slow. :/

I need to get it up to the 90s where I can at least break tier 2 on darksteel chains so I can cut down my losses when I NQ haubergeon.

HQ Haub is selling slow, once I sell it, 1m goes to my main char to finish my debts and finally have some gil of my own. 2m goes to investments. 500k for smithing, 500k for shopping, which I will use to start buying some dynamis currency. :)
