Oh yeah.

Oh, crap, I have an FFXI blog.

Uhm, an upate... an update...

My WAR is 43 now, but I've been very busy lately so I haven't been working on it much. My prediction of Nya passing me was correct, of course, since she's now RDM 54.

Wings of the Goddess is out now, of course. Like everyone, I had a hell of a time securing a copy, but whatever. I'm a Cobra now, in the Windurst mercenary force for Campaign. What exactly that means, I have yet to discover. I still need to collect the Cavernous Maw locations on the way to Bastok and San d'Oria, but I'm not exactly sure what to do after that.

I have no interest in Dancer or Scholar.

DRF has had some profitable Dynamis runs lately... our last two runs (Beaucedine and Jeuno) yielded four 100-piece items each.

Other than that, I haven't been up to much in FFXI.

I'll try to remember to take screenshots in-game again, so I can keep this thing updated.

WAR/SAM could work... >.>

I finally took my WAR into a party today, after a while of soloing in Batalia Downs.  My Great Axe still needs some work.  There were only 3-4 people looking in the 37-40 range for the longest time, so I got invited to a few incomplete parties that ultimately gave up.



But after a little while one of the parties managed to get enough members.  

We headed down to Crawler's Nest as WAR WAR SAM SAM SMN BLU.  It was a decent start, but one of the SAMs soon aggroed an Exoray and we wiped.



After a little while, though, the other Warrior disconnected and the Summoner had to go.  They were replaced by a Paladin and a White Mage which definitely picked up the pace.  Soon after, I reached WAR39.  I'm actually only about 800 TNL, so I might throw my WAR into another Besieged if I don't have time to exp it this week.  That should get it up a level.  I can't wait for that, since I have some decent level 40 gear to put on, and clear out some inventory space.

Of course, in the time that I was LFP and partying Warrior, Nya got her Red Mage up to 35.  She'll pass me on yet another job, I'm sure -- but hopefully I'll get to exp with her a few times on the way ;)

After my party, I had to make a quick jump over to Bastok to join the rest of DRFierce for a Dynamis-Bastok run.  It turned out to be very profitable.



In the end we had a bunch of AF2s: two MNK, two PLD, two DRG, two THF, one SAM and one BLM.  I already had my SAM gloves from here, so Thelan got his.  I did get a few money drops though.  Not much, but I need gil however I can get it.

The second Dragoon AF dropped with only a few seconds left, so it was lost when the Dynamis ended.  But then, who cares?  It's DRG.

Sea Farming, CoP 8-3

On Friday, we went to Sea to go after Jailer of Fortitude and Jailer of Faith.  It took us a little while to get to Faith, since there were a number of people camping it.  Neither fight was all that quick but they went by pretty well.


 
After Sea, I finally got a move on Chains of Promathia.  I need my Rajas Ring!  So a few LS members stayed back and we did the pots BCNM fight for 8-3.  Now I just need to get the final Promathia fight done, and I'll be done with it.  (And on to Bahamut, I hope.)
