Mamool Besieged
Jun/094
So I was just running around earlier selling my Pterygotus that I caught for skillup (sadly they didn’t break all those Mithran Fishing rods that I made). Anyway, the besieged warning came and I thought this would be a good chance to re-make all those macros that I lost with the old laptop.
I managed to squeeze in all the gear change…. but not the actual spells yet. More things to do for tomorrow then!
More Cooking
Jun/090
I got a reminder from my website host that this wordpress script needed to be updated. So I went to tweak the site a bit and after reading through the posts… I remembered how fun FFXI was, despite the ungodly tedious missions.
So I decided to play for a bit, and then I found that I’ve been saving a few stacks of dragon meat for Red Curry, since my cooking mule is at lvl 99 already. It was Firesday after I was finished with the cooking GP, perfect timing for a little skillup. So I bought a stack of each Red Curry’s ingredients, thinking I could probably only gained a point or two in skillup. I unequipped my cooking apron and hat, then held my breath while I started synthesising. Imagine my surprise when I steadily gained 0.1 points… I got a 0.7 total skillup from a stack of ingredients, bringing my cooking level to 99.7 ^_^ I was tempted to just get another stack of ingredients, but due to inventory constraints… :/
Hopefully I’ll get my 100 in the next session.
Productive Day
Dec/081
So, today has been productive. Last night I made sure to sleep early, at 9 so I can make it to the Dynamis this very early morning at 2:30am. My ls consist of mostly American, so… :/ though when I got on the ls leaders were still trying to find a place cause all of the dynamis zone were used and there’s a possibility that our dynamis time might be moved to afternoon CST which means just the right time for me, yay. After waiting for half an hour to decide where to go, the leaders said Dynamis-Xarcabard. I didn’t take any screenshot in there cause my macro was broken and I had to do every spell manually
After dinner, I logged back in again and put my flag up. I really need to start working on my merit points. I have no time to hunt for those rare/ex item anymore which means my blm gonna be so poor equipment wise and i’m trying to make it up through my merit points. I set a limit that I can only play for three hours a day but you know… I did that with leveling my RDM and in the end I got it anyway, as long as I put in the effort
Not long after, I got a tell from another black mage suggesting a duo in Mt. Zhayolm. We joined up with other BLMs there as they come and go. I only got one point during my stay and had to disband cause Cerberus was up. I was baffled by the fact that Gate of Hades attack did not show up on my chat log while his other attack like Magma Hoplon and Ululation showed up fine… I guess I need to tweak my chat filter again..
Swinging Back to FFXI
Dec/080
Here’s me running away from reality again in FFXI… it seems that the urges to play only come when I have something important to do in real life hehehehe
So after my payment info is settled and account re-activated again, I was running around town trying to re-stock my AH slot with items in all my mules when I saw the irresistible Kuftal Tunnel skill up party shout and I thought ‘hmmmmmmm that’s a perfect way to start playing again, get familiar again with the battle system’ and I still didn’t have my macros ¬¬
Logging back in the evening… saw the Tiamat shout in the ls. I really think I shouldn’t go cause I didn’t have my macro but.. you know… don’t think it could hurt..
Maple Story
Jan/080
Again, I got bored of the routine of FFXI. I stumbled onto a simple MMORPG that I tried way back in 2004 when I was still in the States, Maple Story. It is quite interesting as it’s simple to play, free (if you’re not interested customising your character) and I’m not all powerless as a *what else* magician.
I thought I’d stop after a few days, but apparently I was wrong. I keep wanting to play more MS instead of FFXI and now my magician is lvl 25
