^_^ eeeeeee

*Squee* Next stop, the apron!

...I may never know....

Why am I constantly referred to as "he" "man" or "dude" ingame? It's honestly pretty obvious from the way I type ,I am, in fact, female. At least the last time I checked.


meh....

Also I love when a GREAT party disbans because of a fight over damage and SATA.... >< Right before I was about to level too.... Now I'm forced to do campaign since it's a bit too late for a party.

I'm also getting somewhat lonely. Everyone that I am close to in-game....minus the boyfriend....is always busy and off doing their own thing. I tend to get one word replies from people who are further occupied, but they are occupied basically all the friggin time. I'm getting discouraged a bit. That and everyones in different shells and quite happy with them.
I suppose I should just go back to the game thing I did with Austin. Traveling as "the pair" and doing our own thing alone. This is what happens with me most of the time, people get caught up in their own thing (and rightfully so) while I tend to get left in the dust. I guess I just don't make that much of an impression on people. ><

Anway, back to campaign, then bed.

Turban ^_^

So after a bout of fishing, I got bored and decided to use some of my 47,000 imperial standing points to finally get my Walahra Turban. Granted, I can't wear it until 75, but I figured I would get all those Bronze Piece turn-ins out of the way now.

Today was spent afk-ing, and working on getting my cooking mule some gobbie bag quests done. Was entertaining running my level 9 to Jeuno. =/ She still needs more fame for the rest of the gobbie bags, but at least I got some done. Cooking requires lots and lots of space ><. I plan on making her a Super-Mule, will get her the mog locker and fill her mog house with storage stuff. Then I can get rid of one of my crappier mules and only have her. :) It will be nice! And I will feel so organized!

exploration :)

This past week or so have been exploration trips. :) It's been fun. Above is a screen from when Zuriel and I were exploring Attohwa Chasm. Oh yeah, first image of my Samurai Artifact Set. :3
I've had it for months already, and for some reason, never took a snapshot lol. We were in the middle of climbing this really narrow cliff to the top, where some sort of altar thing was.

Goldsmithing is level 50, and stalled until I get some more gil. Fishing on Kelvena is 17 already. I'm making some nice profits off of yellow globes and tiger cod. Cooking on my mule is at 69, I'm working in 70....I just need to clear out some more space. Soon it will be time to take a trip to Selbina to turn in items for fame. ><><

I've been Campaigning my brains out lately, mainly because I'm lazy and don't feel like waiting around for a party. Oh, and the triple Besieged yesterday helped out xp wise too. :P

Next goal is to hurry up and beat Maat, then to get my ass to 75, and start venturing into another job. :3 Still not sure what job it will be yet. >< Oh yeah, and gil, I could use some of that now....goldsmithing is hell right now...I'm on gold.....expensive and sells at a loss. :(

rushy rush

My cooking mule is now at 68 cooking ^^. This means I can HQ tons of food and put some money back in my dwindling pockets. Kelvena is at 48 goldsmithing and I think I will put the leveling on hold until I stock up on a few 100k of gil and the smithing glasses. Guild turn ins here I come! This will give me an ample amount of time to dig up some gold coins chocobo digging in the meantime. I like making profit. :)

Now to my other issue...if you want to call it that. I have a friend in-game that has an endgame shell that he joined a few months ago. He keeps urging my boyfriend and me to get leveled so we can join and start doing endgame. However, I'm in no rush to run out and join one of these shells as soon as I hit 75. I did the whole endgame thing is World of Warcraft, I did the drama, I did the dungeons until my eyes bled. (I was starting to see Hakkar in my freaking sleep >< ) And by drama, I mean A LOT of drama. >< I know FFXI tends to not be as .... uhm .... strict as WoW guilds make it, but I know the Linkshells are run similar. Now to explain myself a bit more.

1. When I start working again, I probably wont be on as much. I like to putz around in-game, crafting, soloing for beastmen seals, farming (yes I don't mind it.) , doing random quests and missions, etc. If I don't have much time to myself when I'm home, it means I will just be going to my "endgame shell" to do events...and nothing else. Now, in WoW it was different, as I had hit 60, and seen pretty much everything. I didn't feel I needed to explore anything else, so I did endgame. FFXI... well, there are still some places I have yet to visit, after playing for a year and a half. I don't want to log on and HAVE to go to a LS event, when I might feel like leveling one of the other zillion jobs I have yet to level.

2. Drama. I know there is a lot in pretty much any endgame shell. I don't think people understand completely when I tell them, "I've done the whole endgame thing in another game...I know how people get in these things..." It's the reason I stopped playing WoW. Drama. I have never seen people bicker so much over the STUPIDEST things like I did in that game. I've encountered some players in FFXI who remind me of these type of people, and of course, the ones I did talk to are in endgame shells. I know there is A LOT of drama going on nowadays as well. I don't feel the need to annoy myself with it.

I can tell if I hurry and join the first endgame shell I find, I will end up burning myself out in a few months and quitting. I did it once, I will do it again, I know myself too well. :)

So yeah, even when I hit 75 I will probably wait to join endgame stuff. I want to experience the game for myself before I commit to a group effort. I believe in giving all or nothing so yeah....=/

That and I don't like being rushed... :P
