Starting out
Hello everyone reading this though I doubt anyone will at least this will help me to remember what I’ve been doing on FFXI. For starters my character’s name is Hesper and she is a Mithra. I have quite a few jobs leveled as you can see from the picture below but all of the jobs I have leveled other then White Mage (WHM for short) are kind of blah in my opinion just due to lack of great gear and lack of merits. Any who this is going to be a Bi-Weekly log (Updates Monday and Fridays) of my characters activities in FFXI that some might find entertaining well enjoy.

Well I decided when I got going today that I might as well clean out a few crafting materials and crystals off of me and move them off to my mule since well lets face it they take up a lot of space that I could be using for other things. After a few minutes of doing this I finally managed to clear out some space and then remembered what Reauland told me about making some money in game with mining so I decided to pick up my mining gear and 24 pickaxes and head out to Mount Zhayolm and try my hand at mining. After a few successful runs around I started having problems finding mining points so after 2 laps around the mountain I decided some other jerk was getting to the mining points before I could and decided to head back to town with my pathetic load of items. I don’t remember which items Reauland said to keep so the items I wasn’t quite sure about I held onto hoping that he will log in later tonight and let me know what to keep and what to sell.
So after my not quite successful Mining trip I decided it was time to sit back and hope to find a party invite on my WHM to no luck mostly due to me passing out but I have a feeling that WHM is going to be a harder job to level up past 75 just because everyone would rather have a Red Mage (RDM for Short) *Uggggg* and I know for a fact that at the moment or possibly ever that I will never level RDM past 75 just because the job isn’t much fun to me anymore and I did it in a vane attempt to get merit points for my retired Paladin (PLD for Short). Well still have a little while before the group gathers together for the Wings of the Goddess (WotG for Short) Quests that we have planed for tonight. I’m hoping that this goes smoothly but from the sounds of Onedarkflame this might not be as smooth as I hoped well we will see later on tonight when he logs on.
Well while waiting on ODF to logon/Get back for AFK I managed to get into a Moblin Maze Mongers (or MMM for short) party. These parties are really cool since you normally walk out with about close to leveling in 6 runs. I managed to get 37,000 EXP granted the first run was better because I used an Empress EXP ring but this managed to get my WHM to level 77 (yay)which gives me a few more MP points to play around with when I cast spells and such. Only complaint I have is that every time I got to cast Protectra V and Shellra V the party starts to run off (Grrrrrr) I think people hate mages when they buff or hate them period because they always run away (Ugggg) any who still no word from ODF I have a feeling we are going to be playing the farming game when we are going to be ready to run the static I hope not though.
Well I’m off to get ready for WotG missions tonight and then get a tell from ODF that he might not make it *Cry* but then he said he can but probably only able to do the two fights which is better then nothing. So we all get ready to go me on my newly leveled 77 WHM, Anderoc on his 76 Dark Knight (DRK for short), Onedarkflame on his 75 Samurai (SAM for short), Carste on his 77 Black Mage (BLM for short), and Zerayla on her 80 Dragoon (DRG for short). Well for the first fight we set off for Pashhow Marshlands [S] for a fight which turned out stupidly easy and we were done with it in about 3 minutes. After that we headed for Fort Karugo-Narugo [S] to kill some birds again just about the same thing as the Pashhow fight only against birds (fantastic…) any who another swift and easy victory *Yay* After both of these stupidly easy fights we had a lot of leg work getting from one point to another just to give a creepy catman food *Sigh* any who after feeding the stupid catman we headed to Sauromugue Champaign [S] for our last fight which went a bit tougher then it probably should of ending up with a death for me and Anderoc. Oh well can’t go no deaths on everything but the fight wasn’t that hard it was just that we got ganged up on which sucked.
After everyone said their good byes and congrats I decided as usual that I hadn’t had enough so with a new goal in site I decided it was timer for me to head off and get the rest of my Quests and Cut Scenes done while I was thinking about it. Boy did it turn out to be a lot more leg work then I thought it was going to be but on the bright side at least I’m done with them and so don’t have to worry about them for when we gather again either the Friday that is coming up or 3 Fridays from now since Carste isn’t sure about what he is doing this coming Friday. I sure hope he can make it I don’t want to have to come up with other plans for my Friday *Sighs* Oh well that’s about it for today.

Decided to take the day off from gaming and take it easy doing some real life things instead. I know boring *yawn* oh well should be doing some things tomorrow.
Sunday, July 04, 2010
Well I logged on kind of late today and figured I would mule off some things I had on Hesper so I could make some room for more important things that I would need. Any who started doing that when I logged on and trying to figure out what job to come as for the level static today…. Hmmm… decisions decisions… Well at the moment I’m trying to decide between Puppetmaster (PUP for short) or DRK… Well seems like one of those flip the coin and see what happens kind of deals.
So I decided on PUP to level thinking that we were going to be at a lower level sync only to find out we weren’t. I hate my automaton because my PUP gets stuck in low level level sync parties and so my Auto never gets to skill up well it was well proven today in this party that I didn’t have my melee skill and ranged skills caped since my auto was missing just about every swing. But on the good side I did manage to get a level and almost to 62 on the job so at least something went Simi-right. Half way though the party I remembered to check out my Dynamis linkshell to find out if we were running tonight or not only to find the following message “The run has been canceled tonight. Have a happy 4th. Try not to blow yourselves up.” Any who I was a little disappointed but at least it gave me the rest of the night to get other things done.
Well after the party one of the linkshell members and also a member in the party I was in named Janko who was pretty awesome for helping me skill up my automaton which was cool of him to take out of his time to do. So we geared up and headed to The Boyahda Tree to fight crab on the bottom floor. In the first room we found a crab or two and killed a couple of crawlers until Aquarius decided to pop. So knowing this pain in the butt Notorious Monster (NM for short) was up we decided it would be better to move to the next area and hunt for crabs there. Well after that it went pretty smooth except for the idea of using the Drum Magazine on my Auto which didn’t work since all he did was miss.*Uggg* Any who after a bit of joking and seeing that Besieged was going to start up I decided that about 30 skill ups on my auto’s Ranged Attack was enough for now and bid a farewell to Janko. Thanks again Janko for the help.
So I decided that it was time to do a Besieged so I hoped on my WHM and got all geared up after doing so I headed to Aht Urhgan to get ready for the fight that was on its way to Al Zahbi. After about 30 minutes it was time to fight the trolls. I was excited because this meant it was a great time for me to skill up my WHM. After tossing out quite a few Cures and getting only .2 Healing magic skills I changed plans and went on the offensive with my divine magic trying to cap that skill. After 35 minutes into the Besieged the Trolls high tailed and ran away *Ugggg* I hate that the mobs don’t fight to the last man and run away all the time now that the player base is getting closer to 80. So with that plan blowing up in my face I make a new heading out to the Sacrarium to fight IT spiders out there with my divine magic so after a little flying around I find myself at the Sacrarium ready to finish up my divine magic skills. At first I decided that I will use flash as much as possible and the put the mob to sleep after it wakes up after a volley of flash spells. After doing this for a while I spot out of the corner of my eye a Stegotaur which as of late because of the level restriction in the zone being lifted has made them hard to find since everyone seems to be out trying to get their hands on a Fomor Codex that they drop to spawn a NM for a belt called the Swift Belt. So I hit the spider for one more divine spell run to the door to make it out and clear of the angry spider and make my way back in to fight the Stegotaur. After a pretty one sided fight the thing drops a Former Codex for me which was really awesome now I just need to find a Thief (THF for short) to plant some Treasure Hunter (TH for short) on the NM so I can finally get a Swift Belt. After killing that Monster I decided to finish up my divine magic skills which I finally got to cap at 279 (Phhhhewwww) Now I don’t have to worry about that for a little while at least.
After that I felt pretty accomplished for the night and decided it was time to wrap up my gaming for the night. Well I hope you all enjoy my first post about my gaming.
