Back to War!

After taking DRG to almost 40 (@2k), i have decided to stop for a short bit and wanted to level war again. Got my gear and macros ready, lets get to work.

My STR build for my WS's.

Finally Broke 1k on a normal non-two hour WS.

This was with my Two hour, Mighty Strikes was nice.

First Limbus

I joined an LS that was somewhat new yesterday, we had our first limbus with a limited number of ppl and jobs due to the holiday. Over all was a good, fun experience the first floor boss owned me after this:
We made it to the 3rd floor with 7 people and some of us was our first runs b4 we had an very unlucky pull and wiped. =(

Camping

Reza was after Modly earring and there was a couple of MA members already there i was bored and decided to jump over also. Not long after I got there he pop'd Roni got claim, was easily defeated and Reza got drop.

I decided to check on Ose on my way to pop spot i saw Peg Powler. We stopped to kill Peg Powler!

Got a nice drop for my War.

Partying with LOLDrg

First off i am in no way an expert on drg yet. I have reached lvl 29 almost and have found that the drg job itself is amazing. Parse damage wise i have been able to keep pace or pass anyone in the party. I haven't had the pleasure of parting with a bst yet although i would love to see how they parse with their jug pets. I can't wait for 30 drg when i get my Acc bouns that should help some.

I am really looking forward to getting my Drg af and then lvl 66 so i can fight maat.

Looks like i might be back!

My goal is to obtain Maat's Cap. This is a link to my Job Data, so as you can see i have some work to do.

Saying Goodbye....

I think the time has come for me to say goodbye to FFXI.

No sob stories just wanted to say thanks for the great times and the people.

Blu Power!

I am nugging closer to 75 and needing more and more challenging spells to get solo. So i attmepted to shout in White Gate last night. I get a tell from a group of people that are already in Halvung (sp) getting some spells i need there. So i promptley rush over to help/obtain my spells. Last nights party ROCKd we were doing chains like 4 and 5 but only getting around 90-120 XP at most since there was 8 of us, however the FUN factor was thru the roof. I did get last night cannon ball and amplifaction. My goals now are couple ToAU's and Sea spells to complete my list.

Savage Blade!

Finally got my Savage Blade weapon skill. Thank you to Moogle Army and Guldukat. I am already haveing a TON of fun with this weapon skill, can't wait to get Cannon Ball for a Solo Light Skillchain.

Uggalepih Pendant

Couple people from Moogle Army wanted to get Ugly Pendants either to use or sell. I went on 4 runs with them and 3/4 on the drop. I am not sure how many HQ compared to NQ knives there were.

Obtaining Spells

Joined up with a blu hunting party / small alliance. I wish i could have stayed longer in the party because it rocked. I finally got to learn warm-up which is ok haven't gotten to use it on XP mobs but looks like it will be decent addition.

The next spell was magic hammer this was great fun fighting little froggies.

The only thing wrong with these tiny bastards besides being annoying is they can charm you and turn you into a frog. =(

Bugbear mission cleared!

Jetsam was having internet trouble so i played for him. We did a dry run for bugbear fight and then headed back in. Was good times. Next up is snoll.

Obtaining My Potent Belt

Finally, after what appears to be forever and a day i obtained my potent belt. Now to just actually get a party to play with it and parse my ACC.

Crafting Madness!

I finally decided to sit down and start crafting again. I got to 60.4 in cooking last night and shall continue on for more once my current products sell.

More Blu FUN

Just have more fun with Blue mage job trying to crawl my way to 75. I now truly can say i feel the pains of Jetsam when he was leveling his THF to 75. Their are just so many horrible blu's that people have started to fear inviting them. My goal is to slowly change peoples perceptions of the job and i hope i am doing just that.

Snoll Fight

Last night Moogle Army attempted snoll fight. We really had a great plan but I kinda messed up the game plan. I had me and abdi did way to much damage to quick and didn't allow for cold to keep hate. I have a better understanding of the TP burn and I think we can come out as winners. For some reason the parser didn't want to save the data which sucks because its good info to have. Oh well atleast there was no XP loss.

The Way of the Blade

Sorry for the lack of updates in post and videos. The reason for the lack of COP updates is due to me wanting lvl 30 SAM before we move forward. Last night i closed the gap. I am shooting for lvl 30 by friday. After that, i will get more COP updates going.

Blue Power

Last night i finally got into a party with my Blu and i was very happy to see we had two blinkers. Main was NIN/war and second was war/nin, we also had a THF in the party who was just plain awful. For the most part the party was good, i think i got about 10k of XP in the party. The THF had some really bad gear and insisted at lvl 63 that he still needed to stack SA and TA instead of using them separately.

VT + Qiqirn

Kitty Whoopin'

Many thanks to Coldwind, Krile, Adb, Flotsam and Bermont for helping me clear the COP Mithra Tracker fight.

Now, onward to crush the Snoll Czar!

Couple of cool screen shots!

Was playing around with the spell this was to a T monster in B. Thickets. Not sure why i got 1000 but it was the first time i ever used it and it was great ^^.

This was a 0% TP SATA Chain Affinaty(CA) Death Scissors

The gods were pissed i was leaveing the island.

Chivalrous Chain

I finally got enough assault points to get my Chiv Chain!.

Tenzen Path Completed!!

Well not much to post i should have got some SS's there was a couple of great moments on the run. The Pso'Xja part of Three Paths is a endurance test, there are 16 doors that you have to fight thru. Well about half way thru it gets a tad tougher, well we were fighting thru and i forget what door but we got magic agro from one of the pots in the other room. Well everyone did a great job cleared to rooms etc. However i was put to sleep by the pot that was agro'd i tried getting some one attention to cure me to allow me to run thru the door. By the time cure was cast the door was closed and the party was fighting the magic pot and the mob that was already in the room. So me semi in a rush to help out i run over trying to find something and click on the door by accident. "I said um...." guys sorry i have a friend i was trying to solo it but wasn't working well. So i used my reraise item and assumed the worse, next i see a cure bomb on me and i lose hate. So now the party is dealing with the pot, a tonberry i think and now a new doll. So i start throwing what ever ranged attacks i have at it. Jet Stream, Pinecomb bomb, and wild oats. After couple of crazy minutes we finally win rest up and continue on our way.

Promie Vazhl ENM!!!

Pretty much all i can say is LOL pinball!!!

Chk out the video.

Side note congrats to Cold, Krile, kyss, abd, bass, and berm for clearing Vazhl.

Vazhl!!

This mission is great fun. Its hard trying to organize for so many people at once because of people's real life schedules. We went ahead with last nights attempt only missing 4 people that i know of, Bass, Darth, Kyss and Mike. We are going to attempt another run up the spire to catch everyone up. It was soooo very late once we got to the top but we had some ppl who wanted to try this mission. So 6 of us headed in for our fight very low meds, no anima, wonder how well we would do.......

Videos to the right and parser data below. I also added the parser data to the prev mission.

Sacrarium

Last night we completed Sacrarium and we got our CS's ready for Promie Vazhl. I am in the process now of uploading videos of fights. Our only true tank for Keremet did get charmed and that was poor Cold. You should be able to see in video one where he was attacking and killing Krile. So i was trying to think of what i could do to help out, so i thru Cold a head butt right in the crotch. All in all was good fun. Tonight i think we attempt to conquer the Tower that is Vazhl.

FYI the Old Prof video isn't complete and i didn't upload parser yet. I will get those added and remove this message. The video feed is jacked up apparently the other night when i was trying to upload while playing the uploading software didn't like it. So it made several copies to of itself in my RSS feed of the videos. This apparently will only be fixed by me adding new videos to the feed which will happen slowly during COP.

Blue Mage learns Auto Refresh!!!

Screen shots, speak for themselves now i just need 12k to 58 and auto-refresh.

Updates Again.....

Okay i wanted to make a couple of changes first change is the Devparser is no longer going to link to the blog but to the forums for to allow quicker access to the program.

Second i can't seem to find a way to keep the RSS feed of my videos longer than 4 or 5 videos at a time. So i have changed it to Blogger RSS update instead of 3rd party tool hoping it will work faster since both limit how much i can feed. I am also going to put a link to my video storage site. The videos will be listed and grouped by tags. If u click on tags they should filter out what videos u see, this will allow for easy archiving.

The link can be found on the far right under the heading "Resources Sites" then clicking on the link "Video File Storage"

Riverne - Site B01

A total of 8 people got clear last night. Congrats to Jet, Kyss, Jean, Cold, Bass, Abd, Mike, and Arc. If i forgot someone i am sorry. Our first group consisted of 3 BLM's Jet, Kyss, Arc and 3 melee's Cold, Bass, Abd.

Our first run we are going to call a Test or Dry run if u will. Our Plan was to Nuke, sleep, mistmelt and then repeat. Well everything sounded great in practice LOL. We go in melees get agro from there we are down hill. I call out a time to Freeze, well....... i decided to start like 3 seconds early =(.... Kyss who was now rushed used sleep II instead of Freeze, and poor Arc controller was acting up so he was forced into keyboard use. I know what that is like and its a pain in the ass to use when you have no idea how to use it. So while he is trying his best to get thru menu's etc he starts casting a tad late. Well after freezes go off kyss is left holding the hate candle. I think mine mostly removed his stone skin the first round. So cold abd bass no one could get hate back so she wipes and then we all do.....

The second and third try were much smoother. I didn't go early ppl nuke'd and slept on time and in the 2nd party with a RDM there to dispel it was very nice. I will try to upload the BCNM Pic i took last night.

Diabolos!!!!

Sorry this was the only picture i got of the fight this is right after Cold dropped down to engage. We did two fights to get clears for Diabolos. Both parties won the first fight was a little tougher because we missed one Nightmare. The second group was alot smoother there was not one Nightmare that got off and Diabolos was forced to show his true pansy colors. There should be videos up on the side bar there of both fights.
