Welcome!!

Welcome to my ffxi blog. Hope you enjoy your stay. I try and post at least once a month, sometimes more. I blog mainly about what I been up to and what my goals are in game. It's a nice way to keep me on track and show how I have progressed.

Another week and Another Job to Level

I had planed on doing this update tomorrow after trying to get a few more things done this evening but with the holidays and things coming up I might not get the chance.

Lets see this week in review.. what did I do again? There was that dyan thinga-ma-bob were we went to windy and got like crap drops. No idea on the final currency count but we did get at least 1 100 bill. Also don't remember what AF dropped. Damn im not sure I was paying attention at all in dyna.

We done some light sky trig farming and got most every trig again. I really hope we switch up to doing sea again soon. Soo much we need from there as an LS plus its been awhile. I also need to get on finishing a WS gorget. Not sure which to do as I have need for DRK drg and Finally..


SAM!! Yup, after all this time I finally got to leveling the job. It sits at 47 right now and I should make 50 I would think if I can get any kind of decent xp party in the next 2 days. Its been costly already with me dropping about a mil on it already but its been a lot of fun to play too. Just 3 more levels till I get to break out my Soboro and of course I already have pole arm leveled from DRG so I'm pretty much set till 75. A few more big purchases to make on the job, mostly str gear and a Hagun, but that's a bit away and hopefully ENM's start being nice to me soon. That or the manteels we get from B2 start selling again. I also have built up a few more seals to go do some KSNM and BSNM again so lets hope that pans out.

That said it may be a few weeks before another update. We basically have two weeks of free events because of the holiday's and I'll log in far less anyways with all the commitments I need to make. I would like to try and squeeze in the ASA final mission and of course keep leveling SAM up.

Where my SAM gear at???

Its been one of those weeks that I know I did a lot of stuff but nothing really sticks out. Did the usual ENM's and whatnot with no drops. Did a few B2's again with nothing worth noting dropping again. We have done a good bit of sky lately but last night was to be the last for a good while. Did 3 kirins yesterday and got 2 Osode, Nbody, and a D body. Most the other gods we did just dropped free lot crap. And I think that about covers this past weeks events.

Well almost anyways. MPTB has decided to do Dynamis once a week now. This is going to be mostly a money grab for some people with just a few actually needing any relic. We are dividing all profits up between members so at least everyone gets something for going. We went with 21 people and walked away with around 100k each. I still get bored somewhat with dynamis but doing it with my LS won't be so bad. Plus I really could use some Relic for my DRG I guess. The northlands pieces seem nice anyways for it.

Beyond that I merited Angon on my DRG to at least have it for events in the rare case they need me on the job. I also got enough money to probably level SAm up to at least 50 now. However, there has been almost no gear on the AH for me to buy. Just on standby waiting for OKotes to pop up and a decent weapon. Would like to start this soon as I been waiting forever to level the job. Keeping my fingers crossed and hitting refresh on FFXIAH.com.

Lots of Merits

Finally finished up my INT merits. You know it wasn't as bad to do as I thought it would be. I been putting off meriting attributes for a long time since they are so costly but once I set my mind to just get it done, it didn't seem so bad. I believe in total now I have spent around 323 merit points. Sadly though I have a long way to go. DRG I haven't even touched yet and both PLD and DRk still have a decent ways to go still. All told I really need another 158 just to be done with the jobs I have at 75. At least I have DRG now to merit with. It's my go to job for merits now as people seem to fall all over themselves to get DRG in bird parties. This is fine with me though I'd rather DD then have to go dress up RDM to get merit points.

As far as other stuff goes I did pick up a few trinkets from sky. I got some N:hands and A:head. The head is nice as I can use it to replace some other gear in my sorc ring latent set. Should actually save me some gil too and free up an inventory slot to boot.

Other than that we did do some more fay weapon fights. I got a slightly better lance and im just going to stick with that for now. Pro tip for those doing this. We had 2 DRG's in the party rotating Angon on the boss (Grauberg fight) and it was waaaaay easier than any other time I've done it. We won in less than 15 minutes while other groups I went with that had some pimped out relic weapon thf and adaberk drks nearly timed out. Meanwhile right after my group got done owning this fight 3 times in a row another group came and wiped back to back times. I got a good laugh anyways.

Only other thing I can think of that I did was some ENM's. Doing brothers on Tuesday's with diz now and we got crap items. Thursday's we still do sheep and once again got crap. That's the breaks. We do still have as an LS 4 more evokers to pop which we are going to do some of tonight along with a few B2 fights. Hope bahamut gives up his scythe tonight id like to play around with it a bit and I believe I'm next up on the drop list too.

Sorc Ring Finally

Been a few weeks since an update but what do you expect with the holdiays and being away a bunch. I've missed some events and i've made it to some events.

Did some more B2 runs but got utter crap. ENM's have yeilded zero good drops. Salvage has still not dropped my legs causing me to become so frustrated with the event i'm just not going to do it for a long time. SO yea pretty typical stuff for FFXI, lots of wasted time.

I did get a few things done though. DRG hit 75 probably the day after my last post a few weeks ago. I did manage to get Drakesbane weapon and then the quest done and unlocked. I got in a few fay weapon fights but nothing to steller as far as augments go. Got a thal-1 right now with 3 dmg and 2 Dex. I've merited a good amount and now have 4/5 int merits done and need just 5 more merit points to finish it out.

Also, the other thing I had been working on was getting a sorc ring and then a set of gear to trigger the latent. Managed to finally do that and i'm more or less broke. I got about 100k on me and another 500k tied up on the AH so i can get by for a bit but need to make some gil. I did go out and Nuke a pudding to see what damage I could do. Got 2330 on Freeze 2 and that was before my last couple of INT merits. Since it doesn't look like i'm going to finish my Morrigans set now the only thing left for me to do on BLM is get that last INT merit, try and find people to assualt for some yigit feet, and then a Novio. Funny thing is i'll probably get a Novio before i get the yigit since noone does assualt much anymore excpet for salvage points and they all do RvB.
