the wedding of Ivone and Nakira

To be honest, I forgot about the wedding too. Sorry! ( >_<)

I woke up at 8.30am that day. After staring at the sky through my window for a good 30 minutes, I got up and logged in. Members in Doom are mostly still sleeping so I switched to Sanctum LS and saw the lsmes which mentioned the wedding.

/panic

Then I rushed my way down to Windurst. While on my way, Ivone got on the LS and told me that it’s starting soon.

Everything went on pretty smoothly except for a galka mule that tried to disrupt. If only there was a special zone like dynamis. And only those who possess a rare/ex wedding invitation card can enter.

Anyways, lots of screenshots!


We we’re told to queue up.



Where the wedding took place. I forgot to ask if Ivone/Nakira chose it or the GM.


Suzulolo! Notice the special icon next to her name.


I think Ivone should be giving the chocolate and Nakira giving the soup.
Because of the saying:
"The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach."
I’ve tasted Shark’s Fin Soup (the real thing!) and believe me, it’s very, very delicious.



Fireworks, go!


Trying to arrange ourselves in a heart shape around the couple.


Close.






This means Nakira can now squeeze Ivone’s financials dry.

Congratulations to the both of you!

wallpapers for my phone

Just for a change, I made some wallpapers for my Nokia phone using photoshop and FFXI model viewer. The result looks very nice on my phone!

The first one is my character in DRK AF2. The details appear beautifully on my phone. The second one is not modelled after anyone I know! It’s just my favourite face type for hume female. 

the falling standard of FFXI players

This year, I’ve noticed a lot of players performing poorly. I don’t usually complain because it’s usually 1-2 players int the PT but just this time, it’s 3. I don’t mind if it’s in the early lv20s or 40s but at lv60, you should be familiar with your job and at least eat foods!

I had an EXP PT last night on my PLD60. Setup was DRK WAR PLD RDM BLM SMN.

DRK wore AF Body and Legs. Those are pretty useless in the ATT/ACC department unless you’re soloing stuff. He didn’t eat food too. Not even a cheap bream sushi. So his WSes ended up missing most of the time. I think I saw only 5 distortions throughout the 2 hour PT. To make it worse, he kept using Absorb-CHR which pretty much doesn’t help in anything at all and is just a waste of MP.

When asked why he used Absorb-CHR, he says it’s because it worked. (I think he meant unresisted)

I gave him advice: If you can’t afford haubergeon, at least get some food like Bream Sushi which is cheap accuracy food. Don’t use Absorb-CHR because it doesn’t help at all.

He didn’t respond like a noob but more like a newb. Which is the only good thing about him I guess.

But then he casted Absorb-CHR a few battles later again! orz

I guess DRK AF Body didn’t make him look cool enough and so he wanted more CHR.

 

Next is the JP RDM. LV60. WITH A LEVEL 10 BLM SUB JOB!

Halfway, he fell asleep and did not respond.

Throughout the PT all he did was refresh everyone.

I examined him because I suspect he was one of those RMTs. But I guess not.

He had no earrings and wore lv10 boots and a bunch of other lv30 stat-less equipment. orz

 

The WAR too had a slightly underlevelled SJ. He had Japanese in his macros but I have a good feeling it’s just another NA/EU player pretending to be JP.

/sigh 

Chaos Gauntlets +1

Had extreme luck with my first Temenos where the materials needed for making my AF Hands+1 dropped. And on my very first Temenos run! You need 1 synthesis material for DRK from Temenos and Apollyon. I also got my first synthesis material from Apollyon on my first run!

But of course, observing the rule of equivalent trade (Full Metal Alchemist), I had 2 NINs and 2 PLDs in my level range seeking EXP PT on Sunday night making it impossible for me to get an invite on my PLD.

I ended up re-watching FMA and played a bit of Counterstrike-Source and then went fishing in FFXI until Conquest Tally finishes.


I manage the funds of my Sky LS.

Can’t wait to merit again. Oneko! I’ll outparse your MNK!
