Now to gather all the attack gear I can get.

Inspired by what someone in my new LS said...

So Happy New Year!
Totally forgot to put that in the last post. 

Anyhow, with the new Abyssea expansions the level cap has increased to 90.  In the past three weeks, I've been making a push to level all my jobs to 90.  I completed the last job tonight which was PLD.  Interestingly enough, PLD was the first job to 75 for me.  I still have a few SJ to cap at 50 as you can see.  Most of the important SJ have been finished already.



After today's PT, I was also capped at 20/20 merits with @1 xp for the 21st merit.  For those that don't know, I had capped already capped merits for just every 75 job except BRD around the time the first Abyssea expansion came out.  I was only missing upgrades on BRD since it was the last 75 job.  With the expansion, I had partied in the past and managed to cap certain jobs to whatever existing level cap it was at the time as well as gaining merit points in the process.  But soon enough, I also capped all the upgrades I wanted to get for BRD. 

Before leveling PLD, I had opted to drop my enmity merits in favor of spell interruption down since I had already capped merits at 20/20.  These upgrades only dropped me down to 10/20 merits points.  But through LS events and random shouts for atmas, I already managed to accrue 13 merit points before even starting on PLD!  And after capping PLD, it didn't take long until I also capped merits again.  So with 20/20 merits, I dropped my Parry merits in favor of Great Katana although I was tempted to put them into Katana.  The upgrade dros me back down to 11/20 merits which should last me a while... hopefully.






In other news.... ouch...

So... I joined a new LS called Vocaloid LS.

Hopefully they can teach me something new about Abyssea. =]
(which is everything)

Have people become less interested in FF11?  Maybe because of FF14?

I know I have lost interest in FF11.  And I don't even play FF14.

Even with all these new things to do (Trial of Magians, Abyssea NMs, Abyssea parties), I don't even have the motivation to continue playing.  This malaise is partially due to the the fact that my current LS is a ghost LS.  There used to be at any given time at least 7+ people in the LS chatting.  Now,  just having two people chatting would be considered a "busy" day.  No more events are scheduled.  Its hard to do low-man limbus when there's only 2 people.

What's even worse one of my closest friend just disappeared earlier this year.  I always enjoyed chatting with her and doing random stuff for her and her friends.--  V, if you're reading this, check your gmail.


I would like to do some of the instanced old content (limbus, dynamis, heck even salvage) as well as more of the new content.  The gear from the old content is really more for "completion of armor."  They were really just goals I had that I want to finish.  Some of the new content armor definitely trumps the old content armor.

So is anyone reading this looking for someone or think their current LS can provide a new social environment for me?  I tend to value my time and will participate in any scheduled event when real life doesn't interfere.  I'm on PST time if that matters. 


Thanks.  For job information, please let me know and I'll give you the details.  Though you can probably find it on old LJ posts.


*edit*
I'm looking for a pretty laid back but no nonsense type of LS.
I"m also willing to server jump.

Compare that to last year.

So, is a 75 job still an accomplishment despite never having partied once after 40?

( Maybe? )

Its been about 3 months since my last post. Quite a lot has happened since.

The biggest thing to have happened is that four LS members quit FF11. One (LS Leader) was banned for the "gardening" exploit that SE implemented. I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact details as well but apparently its become illegal to grow and sell harvests in large quantities to NPC. The other three quit because the leader was gone. So... now I'm in need of a new LS at the moment -- on any server probably. I'm not actively looking though. Why am I not actively looking?

Because... my playtime has been cut pretty drastically. I recently started work and I can no longer log in every day. Weekends are the only times I can log on but I mainly just do the typical XP scrolls that are available every week (Chocobo, Sacrarium, Escort). If I can, I'll catch the occasional Besieged and do whatever Campaign and Campaign OPs that are available to me.

My project of leveling BRD only through XP scrolls, campaign, campaign OPs, and Besieged is going slowly. I was 50 at the start of August. I'm only 63 three months later. I haven't done much crafting or fishing. The only other thing I've done is level mules to 20. Being able to warp back to home nation is nice for some of the crafting mules.

Doing my normal Sunday morning routine of grabbing xp scrolls, I obtained...


Its definitely a good number! I figured it must be a sign from the FF11 gods telling me to finish up this job to 40. I was 37COR last Sunday. Through a combination of Besieged, XP scrolls, and Campaign battles, I finally managed to hit 40 and finish off the last job I needed at 40. Thats roughly 12k xp in a week! Almost all of it came from campaign battles too.

This is getting pretty ridiculous. My LS does low-man dynamis weekly. We usually enter with roughly two parties worth. If we're lucky, we get maybe 14 people! And that is a good turnout. Because of the small LS size, everyone has almost everything they want from Dynamis Xarcabard and Beaucedine. We are to a point where THF hands and PLD body *will* be free lotted the next time they drop along with just about ever armor. Sadly, we're still missing two or three RDM hats, SCH hats and BLM hats. We are pretty much doing Xarc solely for these three AFs. The same situation is also found in Beacedine. Though the wanted AFs are NIN and RDM which are two fairly desired pieces.

Out of all this... I have DNC body for my mannequin. I also have SCH body for my mannequin. I'm sitting on 4/5 COR AF2 when my COR is only level 26. The only pieces that I truly want are BLM from Windy and Jeuno. And probably COR from Sandy so I can store them. But damn... these free lotted AFs sure look good on my mannequins!

Pretty ridiculous don't you think? Sadly, we need people and are trying to recruit word of mouth at the moment. Seems like every LS on valefor are also recruiting too.
