Operation: "HQ staves...get"

Working my butt off to save the gil to get a full set of HQ staves for my Black Mage. I'm a mage at heart, working on getting the best possible gear for these jobs. :)

Choco Digging is proving to be very profitable for me again lately. I've been sticking to Altepa Lately, coral fragments and philosopher's stones are lovely. Zinc can be made to brass, which sells nice, bone chips and femurs go to the vendor or sold on the AH depending on price....

The Gold ore I've been digging up is good for getting my Goldsmithing leveled up some more....very, very slowly. ><

grrrr

So to block out some of my the major irritations in my life right now *coughs* 18 year old younger sister called to tell me she's pregnant *coughs* I've decided to play even more of the game.

My poor eyes.... they're going bad on me...at this rate I'll probably need glasses soon ><

Star Necklace is mine now! It's a good neck for mp whores like myself. :P

I've been doing this all while coding stuff for elhaym.net
I've let is sit for way too long....

Progress

Holy Meat Mithkabobs Batman!
I have a little cooking mule Taru who is my meat mithkabob making whore at the moment. Having cooking at 72.2 is useful I think... I just need to farm some more honey to keep raising it. (I'm cheap and don't like to waste money buying ingredients.) Thanks to herb seeds and brass flowerpots, I now have 7 stacks of Kazahm Peppers to deal with, hurray for cost-cutting!

Did lots of Quests and Missions lately.


Group for the Minotaur Fight in CoP. We had almost a full alliance, I like large groups..you die less. (generally) :P
Ulma singing a pretty song with her harp. ^_^
Foul Mouthed Prishe.

Other stuffs:


It's been an npc focused kind of day. I did the Mirror Images quest, fought a solo bcnm with Yoli (npc's name), and broke her 65 cap. Pweh!

As for the Linkshell dilemma, I've asked around, and found a new endgame linkshell on my sever (there are many apparently) where the members and leaders (especially them) are civil, courteous and friendly. They have enough for Salvage and things like that that, but they're still working on the numbers for dynamis. We'll see we'll see ^^ I'm in no big rush, I'm still trying to get my missions all complete for my country >< .

I'm not a fan of linkshell where its "Fuck this." "Fuck that" as soon as I log on. Call me old fashioned, but I'm not a fan of constant foul language. I'm also not a fan of singling people out and putting them down for honest mistakes. :)

Back to some more quests. ^_^

Endgame

Did Dynamis Windurst for the first time the other day. Compared to the really intricate strategies of WoW, I found it to be almost boring compared. Hopefully places like Sky and Sea and such are better. ><><

I've even been searching around other servers forums for some nice sounding shells, if I find one where people aren't overly petty, nasty (apparently they yelled at a friend of mine for messing up a Skillchain the other day...honestly, once I heard that, I made my decision to find a shell that was not like that.) I never thought I would miss my old WoW guild..><><

Anyway, since I've been discouraged lately (I don't want my game to be ruined by dreading endgame events.) , I log on from time to time to farm, I'm working on packing my mule with consumables, choco racing items, food, choco medicine, choco feed, low level armor, etc. I can't wait until I can make some high level armor and sell that in Rolanmart outside of Jeuno. My goal? To be able to make the majority of my money from mules. I hate AH fees. ><
Last night I spent a lot of time farming honey for Speed Apples. I went logging in Caedevra (sp?) Mire, but I think theres that warp botting going on there....I noticed a lot of logging points suddenly disappear with no one around... will report them if I find that out when I go try again today. Dogwood logs are my focus, as I can make them into yogurt. ( for more choco apples lol)

Time to switch to windowed mode...even though it kills my eyes if I look at it too long. I still refuse to download mods of any kind for this game. :)

meh..

Debating on transferring servers in FFXI. None of my friends are really on anymore so I figured I could start over fresh somewhere else and make new friends...sounds weird, but I've already developed a lot of biases toward a lot of people on my server. (like who are the resident assholes, etc.) Also, I didn't really intend to start on Diabolos (lol I liked the name Leviathan and Odin, etc more hehe), I only did so because a friend, who stopped playing like.. a month after I started, played on that server. It's somewhat frustrating to start somewhere and expect to buddy around and find the person leaves....

I've been snooping around during prime time on an open content id to see what the populations are like on certain servers. Doing my own research...

But of course, before I go through some rash decisions, I'll see about joining some different Linkshells (no ones ever really on my current one during the day when I'm normally hanging around). I don't know....meh.... The only problem is, again, the biases (I know its bad but still you hear the local gossip a lot) Linkshells on that server (and many others...) are really petty and theres tons of drama. Mainly the Endgame ones. Which I will be getting into sometime in the near future.

I think I'm one of the few that thinks a change is refreshing. *shrugs* That and its only like $12 or something really reasonable. ehhh....

*blahblahblah*

More rants meh

Sometimes I wish I could shove my foot up the worlds ass...

I'm getting very sick of people insisting I get that stupid O. Kote. The more I hear it, the more stubborn I become, and the more I don't want to camp that NM that drops it. I'm also quite sick of all the know-it-all-ism's. So you have 7 level 75's....that doesn't mean you can play. Having a few 75's doesn't make up for the lack of skill when someone who "knows everything" screws up something a new player would find simple.... I very much enjoy watching this happen. There's also an overabundance of jerks lately. More that usual. I had to blacklist a few people this week, one being in campaign, just kept insulting everyone and flapping their yap when absolutely no one was answering. You would think the fact that there wasn't anyone dignifying him with an answer, that perhaps they would think "gee, no ones respond..." and stop...but no.

Black Mage is now level 39 after soloing the majority of the way. I only got into one...very...mediocre party with it so far. Stupidity seems to run rampant in this game.... A lot of the game is common sense, but this escapes people....o_o But again, I digress. (learn to #$!@%^@ play! *fumes*)
