Smashed Zenith and Subjob leveling

Jul 15

Posted by arrode in Crafting, Dynamis, EXP | No Comments

So I had Asaka attempt my Zenith Pumps yesterday and ended up with a full break. ; ; Lol, just my luck! Oh well! There’s always next time!

Besides that, I’ve decided I’m going to take DRK to LV37 before anything else leveling wise. I got it to level 16 tonight in the Dunes (the horrors) thanks to Kayile and Malekai power leveling my poor party for a while tonight. Level 37 should be no problem at all with the EXP boosting items as well as the easier time people have leveling recently. I just feel totally inadequate as a melee job.

After finishing DRK, I’m probably going to complete leveling WHM to 75 since it’s been sitting at 62 for forever. After that, I’m leaning towards starting my first official melee job, SAM! ^_^

That is, if I have the time. I started my summer job to save up for college this week and haven’t had time for camps, farming, or LS events in general and I feel really bad about that. ; ; I’m going to try to make Friday Dynamis runs with higher frequency and attempt to get Tuesday work days swapped to Weds so I can go on Dynamis city runs with the LS and help out our members going for final stage relic weapons.

(Goddammit window crashed, so this is the second time I am typing this entry! Yay!)

Ok beforehand please forgive any spelling/grammatical mistakes. I am pretty sick right now, head hurts, etc. I can’t think straight so things might seem kinda dumbed down in this entry.

I think Locke puts it best.

Thanks :)

Did some of the new dumb Al’Taieu missions since Square did such a poor job of releasing new areas. No new HNMs, one event based NM, and a lot of repetition and retardation to get to the gardens of ru’humet, which, btw, look EXACTLY like the shrine itself. Yayay for bad programming! Random note, for some reason this entire region gives the feel of Chronopolis from Chrono Cross. The ways the Quasis talk, the emptyness of the castle, etc. Idk, maybe it’s just me.


His wings look really neat.


Teleporter thingies.


What a long way to fall.


Machines that do, you guessed it, absolutely nothing! Well, yet anyway.


Maybe they went up a ridiculously long-ass tower that takes like… what? 3 hours to climb? -_-*

Alchemy 95.6+2 right now. I’m never gonna be able to get my Emeralda before summertime.

Going 100% to The Uni of Central Florida in two months. Are you around there and want to give me free hotpockets?? Feel free to drop me a line. :)

Leveling WHM

Mar 24

Posted by arrode in Crafting, EXP, General | No Comments

Leveling WHM recently, not much else to do honestly. Currently I’m at LV56 and close to 57, which is pretty awesome. I can’t wait to get to 58 so I can wear my Vermilion (I’m such a lazy butt XD). Aiming for reaching LV75 within two months, so hopefully I’ll get a range of good parties.

Attempted the notorious subligar (panties, whatever) farming again a few days back. A great deal of the people didn’t have Sacrarium open so we were forced to do the LV40 Phomiuna Aquaducts, which I hate with a passion. A lot of jobs aren’t very well geared at that level in addition to lots of death. And yes, we experienced full wipes numerous times, though the subligar drop rate was high. No RDM subligar though, the RDMs were the types of Formors that traveled in groups making taking them out nearly impossible after one of our NIN tanks went to sleep.

Getting close to Alchemy 93. I’m getting really tired of Icarus Wings at the moment.. There are approx. 3-4 other alchemists skilling up on those with me and some Alchemists (Not naming specific people) really are tards and undercut by like 3-4k per wing just to get their stuff to sell fast, which is ridiculous considering the Icarus Wings sell OVERNIGHT. Therefore, they control the market making a break even synth cost quite a considerable amount. It’s a tad annoying.

Real-life, today was my 18th birthday. :) Finally legal and I can honestly say it feels very odd. If anything, it’s just a reminder that I need to decide on which college offer to accept and get ready for my move back to the United States. Meh. Time really flies the older you get; that is no lie.

Real-Life Issues

Dec 14

Posted by arrode in General | No Comments

For a change, a topic more on real-life than FFXI.

Holiday season is upcoming, last week of school for me before the break. I want to focus a bit on classwork, if I can and finishing up my last application to Florida State University. Hopefully after some Xmas shopping is done, my applications are sent in, and this week is over, I will feel a bit happier.

Lol, and just when I’m about to log off FFXI, my friend asks me to go bell hunting for WHM AF in Eldieme. XD; Ah, I’ll never get away from this game.
