Well, I finally upgraded the template for this blog to their "new and improved" system. It broke all the customizations I had done to the previous template, but it wasn't too painful adding them back.
Check out this one last screen shot of a Gigas i think its pretty funny and speaks for itself.
My march to 60 might be paused for cash making. After, being given next to 9 mil gil i have blown thru it with items that are resell able at a later date but leave me currently semi poor. After tonight i will have close to 1 mil on the AH. Last nights party came quite quick and i have hope for the party. The first setup was Drk/nin, War/nin X2, Pld/war, Rdm/whm, Whm/blm. I was puller for most of the parties and when i checked the mobs they compared as neutral evi or low evi so i figured i could pop some meat and be good. This was a mistake and half, my acc for the next two hours (yes two i ate a 1 hour meat twice because i didn't pay attention) was around 68%. However with 1 sushi and 30 min my acc climbed to 71% so i was very impressed with the results this also allowed me to pass the dark who was killing me before.
Finally we got down to a set party that was good. I forgot to reset the parser so there are some left over numbers in there but you get the idea from the numbers.
Some key moments from the party i am very proud of:
This is what happens when you pull to much hate and the entire party is silenced and the poor mages have run out of echo drops. =( But thru my death the rest of the PT lived so it was worth it.
Yesterday, a few of us finished up with some of the ToAH missions so that we may take part in Salvage. It was a conglomerate of Moogle Army members and Rayneblood, a Guts member. We first completed ToAH Mission 13 which is an easy NM fight to get a coin to allow us onto the Black Coffin, the dreaded pirate ship lurking in the waters around Aht Urhgan.
to try to cast long duration spells, allowing me to always run away before the spell cast. Anyway, I made it to the point without further incident, even with Mr. Sunshine on my heels. (You may note that the link shows that a Soulflayer is 'True Sight'. Needless to say, he aggroed me from behind his back. Some people say there are literally true sight and true sound mobs. That being the case, this one is definitely sound based, or both.)
Once at the Black Coffin, we watched the cutscenes then tried to enter. Flotsam was missing the coin so he had to drop and we tried it with only 5 people. The only healer, other than the PLD's own healing skills, was a BLM. The basic plan was Jedi (WAR) and myself (THF) were to duo the mobs while the PLD, BLM and DRK focused on another. Jedi and I rocked through two of the mobs while Maddox (BLM) was on sleep/heal/nuke duty. We easily got through the first wave but failed to allow the BLM to rest MP back before taking on the second wave of undead. The captain was at around 50% HP when we wiped. We just didn't have enough healing power, and failed to sleep the second group as easily as the first.
We all returned to get some coins and fought the mission again, with only 5 - we picked up Flotsam (BLM) and lost a DRK. The fight went very smoothly with no difficulty.
I can't let Flotsam post all the posts. But, my FFXI time has been fairly boring. Balu and I have been spending a lot of time out in M.Coast hunting Odqan for my elusive Bravo Subligar. While I know he has a very shitty drop rate, he is still fun to camp. Although, it is very hard sometimes to know if it is foggy out. I only know because I can see other Clusters on widescan.
I am almost to the point where i will be temp stopping at 40ish range for my AF weapon and to allow time for old gear to sell and obtaining new gear. Being a war is very fun i can do massive damage and have much more survivability than a BLM. The party invites are very slow i was expecting a higher invite rate.
Just ding'd over to 39 on my way to 40. WOOT.
Corpse was also in need of some AF mob killing, so we headed over to Davoi. After running for days it seemed we arrived at the spot killed a couple mobs and waited for NM to spawn. Killed him quickly and Corpse got his RDM AF.
So Peck and Deana, both needed Dark Spark. When we get there we are talking about what TP moves he does, i forget who said that he will self-destruct but i had never seen it, so we assumed it was a very rare thing. We start fighting and then about 10% left he decides to self-destruct. We all lived so it was fun times, and everyone got the AF they needed. I will see you soon also Dark Spark when i come for my War AF.
My love for warrior has caused me to stop lvling THF and sell all my THF gear. I can tell u this my THF compared to my WAR at this lvl are so far apart in damage its not funny. Now one thing that hurt me was when i got a PT i was in a rush so my gear isn't as uber as it should have been. Warrior's weapon skills are very heavy on the STR part so i have to get a STR build, for my WS and maybe just normal melee's. So for now this is my current parsed data not bad but does need work.
