Digging Rank and Thief

So as far as chocobo digging ranking, I figured out that I am classified as "Artisan", at least, according to the zone loading time before being able to dig. It will be nice to hit the next rank and actually have a chance at pulling up elemental ores.

As far as goldsmithing, it is slowly seeping away at my gil. >< I took more time to farm to compensate, stealing beastcoins and selling the ingots I make out of them and such. Slowly, but surely, my gil is starting to recover. I just wish people would stop undercutting the Sorcerers Ring so much...it went from 1 mil to 750k =/ I'm still trying to sell the one I got as a drop in "Treasures and Tribulations" (bcnm 60)

Solo leveling Thief is great, though a bit expensive due to the costs of bloody bolts. :) Working on getting Thief to 31 today...possibly 32 if I get really lucky. It's interesting being able to take on Toughs without being utterly smashed to the ground.

Sorry for not posting

Apologies for not updating for the last moth. I've got some family issues going on right now that are really stressing me out. I haven't been in a cheery mood for the last month or so, and being unhappy kills my will to do...anything really. Yep, depression is lovely....:(

I'll post again when something interesting happens ingame >< I spend the majority of my time afk-ing lately. I just need to fix things in my life, then I'll be back and...hopefully, happy, once again.

Happy late New Year!

rings!

....if only I can have this kind of luck in real life.... :) I should like...go play the lottery or something...

Oh and my little Taru is on Ragnarok lol >< I go by the name "Inkpen", it's fun running around not knowing anyone and having no gil lol. Reminds me how tough it was to make it as far as I have on Diabolos. :)

Never a good thing in besieged ><

*smirks*

Despite being angry and frustrated for the last 24 hours.... (I love spending gil on a prommy run, only to have it not happen...=/ I'm more irritated that I'll have to save this junk in my already packed Mog House until another, inevitably, canceled prommy run happens.) *I honestly don't give a flying fig if these people get their prommy's done, especially after last night, when we were waiting around for someone only to have them say "I never said I would go." I could have been SLEEPING kthx! *

This still makes me smile. :)

As for my going on's, I got so frustrated I started another character on another server (I honestly forget which one...I picked it randomly from the list.) , where I can hide when I don't want to be bothered. I must say I'm really enjoying it. I'm dirt poor but doing quests and farming items for monies. I started little black mage Taru female, and I adore her ^^! I don't know why, but the thought of starting over completely doesn't make me fuss much. (if I were to ever lose my account...which is happening a lot lately due to that keylogging thing going around, I would just pick up the pieces and start over.)

It's not that I hate people over on my server or anything, I enjoy being around the majority of them, it's just....meh...

*cries*

I feel like crap today. It's days like this I get tempted to go back to WoW. I know I'm pretty cut-throat and "no-nonsense" due, in part, to that game. But I believe in punctuality and organization, which you really need to succeed in a higher end LS and events. I realize that most comments toward me are innocent, and supposedly jokes, but it gets old after awhile. I try to be nice, I try to help people learn how to make gil, no one tends to listen to my advice, and that's fine, I tried. I get made fun of....for some reason, for saving my gils to buy expensive equipment and such....since when it pre-planning and working toward a goal...funny or a reason to be vindictive?

And again, I enjoy events and LS's that are run on a schedule, I enjoy organization, I enjoy getting things done without fuss. I enjoy WINNING. I hate wiping due to rushing or poor planning. It's a waste of time, and despite the fact that people seem to enjoy grinding the fact that I have tons of free time, my time is valuable! Just because I can sit and play for most of the day, doesn't mean my time isn't worth anything. It's things like that make me want to cry. I'm depressive enough without other people making it worse...which is why I sometimes I just want to stop playing and go back to WoW, a game where you can be a hermit and still play. :( I love FFXI, I don't love being made to feel bad. I know I'm overreacting most of the time, but fuck....
I can only hear these comments so many times before I feel like they mean something by it.

Perhaps I should distance myself or something...or start on another server...or something like that....

Jello

Did the BCNM "Royal Jelly" last night with Zuriel and Chupacabra. :) I felt bad for making poor Chup worry, as he had never done it before. But it's really not a tough bcnm....and I don't know why people complain about it =/

Well....we got the Utsusemi: Ni drop :) Most of the other stuff wasn't really worth much, so we distributed the loot and Chup put the scroll up. This gives us all 115k if it sells :) Not too bad.

Glad we could get Chup some good gear from it (the Phalanx scroll, he needed that ^^), that's what these should be about...not greed...The gil is nice, but I would rather give the loot to someone who needs it.

Oh and thanks to Chup's super powerleveling skills, and Mobpim being in my party (ranger goodness ^^) I am now a 25 thf....4 levels in 1 day....not bad. ^^

Goldsmithing Update

>< Slowly...very slowly getting my goldsmithing leveled. It's becoming quite expensive, but I find I'm making lots of money when I farm silver/mythril beastcoins. My favorite place for this is Zi'Tah, because at night, the bat's pop and drop beast blood, which vendors for over 500gil per blood. (most of the bats drop 1-2 bloods so they stack fast) ^^

My next project is to get thief leveled to at least 37 (going to try for 40...and higher if I like it) so I can farm a bit better. It's been on a list of things to do for awhile...I think I'll get off my ass and do it finally tonight. (at least get it started...as my thf is only level 21)

Maintenance today, so it looks like I'm doing something else whether I like it or not :) Need clean clothes...so I suppose I'll venture down to the laundry room shortly to start that.
