Yes Its been a long ass time. I was trying to do a long break and regain some joy again, but its just not coming back. Dont get me wrong FFXI is still fun and great, its one of the best games I have ever played and I met some great people there, but I just dont want to devote so much time into this anymore. I always thought if Iratus would ever disband, wich it did in the end, I would still have fun not playing in a HNMLS for a while, wich I was looking forward to so I could level some Jobs. But it dosnt seem to satifsy me soley. But I also dont want to join one because of my time schedule. I just cant bring up and dont want to spend so much more time into this anymore, so its kinda like a dog trying to bite in its own tail!! Another reason is alot of ppl I was close to ingame left and are leaving, its just not the same without them :(
For those who heared me playing WoW, yes it IS true, and no it DOSNT negate what I just said above, for it is not the reason I quittet FFXI. I would have done so anyways, in the aftermath. I just have better options to schedule my playtime there then in FFXI. Im not gonna go full-throttle like I did with FFXI (well right now Im playing much together with Ultimo, because were on holidays ^^).
Well, thats all to say I guess I just wanna thank the great ppl I met in FFXI and Ill so miss the beautiful world of Vana' Diel ; ;. If I might ever play again? Highly doubt it. If, then probably not in the next 2-3 years. But I can gurantee that Ill definitely try out a new FF Online (IF such thing should ever be created) :D.
So, had a great time with yall, I know not many ppl read this but I just wanted to make a clear line. Bye bye ;;
The method for obtaining the items listed below has been adjusted. The monsters that dropped these items now have a chance of dropping an EX/Rare item with the exact same attributes.
- The Notorious Monsters listed below now require a certain item to be traded in a certain location in order to appear.
Big Bomb/Alkyoneus/Pallas/Sozu Rogberry/Ullikummi
- The items listed below can now be obtained through different methods.
Cassie Earring/Serket Ring/Juggernaut *The Juggernaut will still also drop from the usual monster, but at a lower probability.
- The “Lock of Siren's Hair” will be removed from the treasure dropped by the following Notorious Monsters.
Voll the Sharkfinned/Zuug the Shoreleaper/Pahh the Gullcaller/Worr the Clawfisted *In accordance with this change, the drop rate of this item from monsters other than the four mentioned above will be increased.
- An item to replace the “Kraken Club” has been added to the treasure dropped by the “Lord of Onzozo.”
Okay now I promised that Ill start up the LJ again, and here we are xD.
Yeah I have alot to catch up with, Ill just post some random stuff thats happned the last few days and weeks.
Blue Mage Yeah, I was insecure alot of what I should level next. I still have my BLM at 63, but I'm waiting for Reeshin (aka Worm or President :-D) to catch up, so we can duo together. We all know that getting invites on BLM is nearly impossible these days xD. Anyways I decided to start BLU (I brought it to Lv. 8 before, for pure testing reasons), after seeing some friends and LS Mates playing with it. It really caught my eye. Currently I'm 42 (900 tnl ;;) and trying to get it up as fast as possible :-).
Al' Taieu Not much to tell here, but we did kill Jailer of Temperance the other day. Too bad I died without having a WHM to Raise III me :-(. Anyways, no torque drop ;;.
Salvage As SE announced a new instance, called Salvage, my exceptions weren't all that high. It has been proven that my exceptions have come true :(. With a new Salvage Linkshell called Onikage I've done 2 test runs and I can tell you it's not all that great imo. It's not all that long (100 min. if I remember correctly), but theres nothing thrilling to it if you ask me :(. You start of completly naked with EVERYTHING being restricted. I mean EVERYTHING. That includes not only Level, but every Equip slot, every single stat, Magic, Ability etc. You need to unlock each with an Item wich sucks, since every members needs one. Esepcially with stats its totally stupid, since you need to unlock them single. Like if you want your STR Stat unresctricted, you need to find an Item just for STR. Oh and I forgot that you also need 2k each run from any Assault. It can suck for people who rarely do Assault or want to save for a certain Item. Big no, for now imo. For me at least.
Treasures of Aht Urghan Missions Yeah I've processed a tiny bit in ToAU. The CS are very well done again and extremly entertaining added with a good amount of humor when it fits :-). I need to do a few CS still then I'm ready for Khimaira BCNM. Hit me up if you still need it. Anyways, hoping that SE will move this story in a good direction, cause till now its kinda promising if you ask me.
Well thats it. Just a small review of what I've been doing the last few weeks. Stay tuned!
Oh and I've met a GM for the first time ! Was shocked when I saw a red name for a few seconds, untill I recognized what it was xD.
Yo ! Bet no one even reading this, but IF there is any just wanted to let yal know Im still alive and kickin. Was taking a big break, but I think Im coming back soon (already playing a bit lately). The show will go on on my Journal as always!
Okay this is a bit late, but we did Swift Belt the other day wich I alsmost missed ><. Thx to Ondori for telling me on ICQ and waking me up lol. Anyways they were still doing it and I joined them and they already did like 5. None of them dropped. We went on when I arrived and did many but they also didnt drop at all. I was at last of course and seeing that all didnt get drop made me feel kinda sceptical. Anyways Ultimo got his and afterwards me. Everybody else got pissed lol. Guess I am very lucky with 1/1 ><.
Oh yeah we also did a Proto-Omega, but it only dropped 2x Shoes :( Grats to Ninee and Caishen though ;)
Done the last Limbus 'till our first Omega battle \o/. We linked a bunch of Dhamels on the last floor but we handled it very well. Got 4 Coins, wich is decent for 18-Men Limbus XD. Let's pray that it drops Corazza on Saturday :Q_.
First off my Journal dosn't take care of normal spoilers but since this is a big one for those who haven't completed CoP you shouldnt read this. Otherwise its not like im describing the story just revealing some names ^^.
SPOILER!
Ok, I told you I would post more again, and properly like good'ol days lol. Well today I finished CoP. I've done the Pot BC a few weeks ago and got lucky I found 4 BLM to help me (Thx again). I feel bad enough since I kinda leeched as THF since I didn't do all that much ^^. Anyways since today was Limbus and we had a bit free time before we started I asked around for ppl to help me with Promathia (Since I didn't have a set anymore as I wrote earlier) in Iratus. So we went to the BC and didn't have any problems at all. I would describe some of the action moments, but seriously, everyone who fought him can confirm that he is not really hard in any way. On the second farm Caishen and Matine died at the end cause of the Silencega he does that you cannot cure. But it was all good since Shadows and Ondori finished it off with Sidewinder and a nice Spell :D. Well, now I gotta wait till tomorrow 'till I can get my Rajas ._. (Might even have to get it on Saturday cause I might gotta go to a bday tomorrow). I want to thank Caishen, Matine, Ondori and Ninee(playing Reeshin's Char) for helping me with this :D. And also grats to Shadows for also completing. Now Bahamut (LS doing it soon ^^) and then Apocalypse Nigh ahead ;D. But I might wanna get my BLM to 75 first (waiting for Caedes and Makudesu, so we can create a set <.<). Stay tuned, more news coming soon! (Sry for the many grammar mistakes but its late over here ;;)
Yes im still alive ;;. Its just that I formated PC and I didnt have Photoshop anymore :( And you know, a Kag Journal isnt a Journal without lotsa pics! But I will post my stuff again soon (Not much happned anyway :P)
Dynamis Buburimu was kinda fun. Went really good for the first try! I had to track the Dragons and pull them, was kinda relaxing ^^. Grats to Ondori to Scouter's Belt! Really nice piece.
Sry my loyal fans :( I have been gone too long :P Couldnt find the time to post here, but now I do and theres lots of new stuff so read on! (Gonna skip the stuff like Snoll etc. and just start with Tenzen)
First of all, even though it looks like I got far in CoP, My Set ended in a big mess ><. We did all the BCs with no problems (We might have wiped 1 or 2 times on the one or other but it went good) and got to Tenzen. This is where my SetPT broke <.<. For some reason he kept on raping us and ppl lost their motivation (Wich I can understand in a way) so it all ended with a break <.<. Thank god Relix made a Tenzen attempt and we won (It was pretty unfair because Tenzen gave up at 16% this time, where he used Cosmic Elucidation at 13% the first try with my CoPSet <.<).
Sea acces !!
There was a sea event on the same day, at the same time. Instead of farming Triggers, Iratus actually helped us completing 8-2, wich I was thankful of since it seemed like it would have taken much longer without 18ppl lol.
After that I spent the whole Night to work on Organ farming (I probably farmed over 7h). Ended up with helping many friends getting their Organs and me getting 13 >< (10x Xzomit and 5x Aern, for Soil Gorget). The day after I farmed the rest 2 Aern Organs (Worse droprate <.<). Now I'm in a need of Yovra Organ (If anybody interested in farming it with me /tell Kageo <.<). I know Breeze might have been a better choice, but I choosed Soil since I mostly use DE anyway (or only) for soloing AND I can use it for my upcoming Rampag0r (WAR) that I'm gonna level with Ondori & co. in SetPT. I'm still gonna get a Breeze sooner or later, I'd like to make my own opinion.
Also me and Relix decided to do 8-2 (Hume Towe and Twilight + Dawn Key Item) wich went pretty fast, thx to Relix ^^. Gonna try to attempt Pot BC this week with 3-4 BLMs (With LS ppl since my CoPSet broke <.<).
First Limbus was plenty fun!! Only got 3x Coins but hey. Can't wait for Proto-Omega fight for some Homam Gear :Q__
Sacarium complete a few days ago. Was a bit wacky and not the best runned mission :D. We got lucky that another pt gave us a coral key. We also found another alli that also was doing the mission so we sticked with them. Many deaths though <.<. Sucks. Oh yeah we also done Promy Vahzl on Monday. Running to the BC was very very easy. Alot of ppl said to takes very long and is pretty hard but no it wasnt ^^, thx to Super-Power-Tank Caishen. The thing is we wiped at the BC lol. Dont get me wrong it was pretty easy so far but the problem is that one NM spammed (and I mean spammed..) Sleepga Ability so that was the end since no one also had RR up lol (was casted at the beginning but buff might have been absorbed >.<). Well it was very late so we didn't try again and decided to do this later today. Ill post when we beat it.
Completed all 18 current Missions. Not an accomplishment, but I'm just posting this cause it was so nice. The CS were awesome and the story seems very promising. Lots of mysterys etc. I really like it so far. The BCNM was very Easy ><.
Maddin finally back from Vacation so we could finally settle up our CoPset again. Beat Ouryu the other day. Wasn't hard at all. Left the BC the first time though since someone accidently casted DoT and we couldn't sleep it :D (No it wasn't me). Worked out well afterwards then. Setup: NIN SAM SMN RDM BLM WHM. Later on Sacarium and more CoP the following days. Hope we get sea soon enough.
