Aquarius Fun Times

Yesterday an LS friend needed his weapon skill NM killed and it was in The Boyahda Tree. On our way there we say Aqurius. Now if i was BLM/rdm i could have solo'd him, gravity is so very nice. But we waited for some ppl and had our way with him.

Kinda Slow

This is a pic from the top of the COP moutain in Attowha Chasm.

Also i have just recently obtained my Zenith Mitts.

Viper Bite This!

THF was always a job that I enjoyed. But, like so many other things in FFXI, leveling THF fell to the wayside as other, more interesting, things peeked my interest. After a time, however, I have realized that I want to push THF to 75. Of course, this is something that still hasn't happened for my BLM who remains parked at level 73. But, considering I do not do much end game activity, having my BLM to 75 isn't a huge priority for me.

So, in XPing on THF, I was reminded how much fun it is.

For just getting back into the job, I don't think that is all that bad! 848 was my highest, I believe. Go THF!

Some NPC Skillchain Fun!

I've been on this NPC leveling kick lately, and it is pretty fun stuff. My little buddy, Balu-Falu is set to Soothing Healer at the moment, so he doesn't weapon skill all that much. But, when he does, it is some fun stuff! Here are some shots from our time running around Altepa.

Lots of excitement little reward.

Well first off i have decided to start fishing skill ups so after much reading i have found that sandy offers a good skill up spot. So on my way there i see Jaggedy-Eared Jack. Thinking to myself wow what luck i must hurry before some one gets him. As i am running, i am also looking around no one is around. So i get the claim and the kill, no drop. Excitement no reward =(.


Ok so the next NM on the list, is Harajnite. This guy is tricky to say the least. He drops a Harajnite Shell which sells for 10 million roughly. There are a couple of bad things about this NM one when his head is out he takes full damage and will use an AOE posion effect. The next thing is when he pulls his head in he takes like 4 or 5 points of damage from all types of hits and has a very strong regen. I was able to put 5 enfeebs on him: Shock, Burn, Choke, Bio II and posion II. It took 3 trips on the manaclipper to pop him. We only had two people trying to fish up the NM. I think if we had about 8 to 10 melee DD's all fishing we could really get him up and get the drop.





So i finished my NPC quest that allows her to learn the next 3 job types. I currently have two types on me and jetsam has the 3rd i just need to trade with him so that we can both learn all three. Pimy is starting to kick butt in levels.





Last two things are small but cool. Staff skill:

And finally my fishing skill:

Small update depressing News =(

This was put together for the purpose of a progress bar, and hopefully seeing this list almost everyday will help keep me motivated. On next post i will be marking off any items that i have obtained and update on the points have/need.

My needs sorted by points. I know i have some points in all areas just not sure how many.

Lebros Cavern: 8,000 Chivalrous Chain

Leujaoam Sanctum: 10,000 Potent Belt

Mamool Ja: 23,000 Total
3,000 Antivenom Earring
20,000 Yigit Hands

Ilrusi Atoll: 43,000 Total
5,000 Garrulous Ring
8,000 Grandiose Chain
10,000 Invigorating Cape
20,000 Yigit Turban

Kinda of depressing when i look at my goals this way but on the plus side i will working my rank up nicely by doing all of these assaults. If only there was a way to get around the limitaions on how many assaults you can do in a row. More to come.....

A Couple of Events.

Ok lets start with some simple stuff. Random picture of my NPC and me lvl'ing in the jungle. This pic is about 3 levels old.

First off, my NPC has had a new quest open. It is called Chameleon Capers this will allow me to add the 3 additional jobs for my npc. I bought one of the job types for 5k i plan on waiting for Jetsam to get this quest also so that we can get all 3 job types. Last night while camping ose with an LS mate i pulled out my NPC and was just playing around with her. Thought that was pretty sweet, i wasn't expecting her to level at all.



Next thing on the list is Jetsam and I are goign to be leveling bst very soon. So we decided to get us a very cool item for us. Adds +2 chr and the NM is almost never camped. So i headed out to the camping grounds killed a couple of bunnies and there hey was Sharp-Eared Ropipi. After a swift and sweet victory, my reward was entrancing ribbon. I can't tell you how psyched i feel about leveling bst there are so many things that a bst can solo .


Ok my last little tid bit is nothing important but it marks a spot for me where i see my gear is improving so that i can be useful on gods. Can't wait for 75 and a higher elemental skill also.
