<< Slowly, But Surely. >>

FFXI, barely anything happened. Most of the days I was too busy with school, and if not, I ran my character around to places to help a few friends. Nothing too interesting worth mentioning. I’ve decided to cut back on the blogging. It just takes too much time to write every single thing that happened on that day, every day, and frankly I’d rather be playing than writing. From now on I’ll be blogging about once or twice a week, with interesting information ( hopefully ) every time.

Interesting Fact #1.
I joined a tarutaru static. Basically, for those who don’t know, its a group of people who create secondary characters and meet up with each other a few times a week. This way its a guaranteed party for your character, with the same levels. :) I’ve always wanted to join a full tarutaru party so I joined. I didn’t mind making another tarutaru anyway.

• Blue-cowlick-haired tarutaru Poccha created!
• Goal: 18 MNK -> 37 WAR -> 75 DNC (not final)

Interesting Fact # 2.
Today’s my mom’s birthday.  She didn’t go to work today. Not because she was playing hooky, but because she was sick. She’s in bed right now. Not sure what we’ll do to celebrate.

Interesting Fact #3.
I has needz expansion packs!

Interesting Fact #4.
Mid-Winter Break starts Monday. No school for a week!

Interesting Fact #5.
The post has ended.

Saturday, Febuary 2, 2008

Well, the day was rather dull, but fun. I woke up around… well it doesn’t really matter does it? D: I went on FFXI, finding myself still in Bastok. Well, I finished up giving the last bits of my treant bulbs to Salimah, (don’t remember her name too well) and then bought slime oil from the AH and gave it to this galka in metalworks to get my Warp Scroll. And since I already switched to a BLM beforehand, I casted warp on myself.

Note: When casting warp, you go to your home point, the place you selected to appear when decapicitated.

Well, I appeared in Qufim, and since I had nothing to do there, ran all the way back to Jeuno. I tried buying some new spells in the Jeuno scroll shop, but everything was so expensive T_T Instead I just took the chocobo all the way to San’doria. Wow, San’doria. I haven’t been there in 4 years. I didn’t really remember much about the place but for some reason I was able to hum the tune of West Ronfaure (area outside of San’doria) perfectly o_O Well when I arrived in Sandoria I really had nothing to do so I ended up running around there for a bit, when I saw deadzone, someone from my linkshell. We chatted a bit and ran around empty space for about 10 minutes. Oh tarutarus, how hilarious they are. Then we started to poke and slap each other in front of an Elvaan Paladin. @_@

Well, we were both bored so I suggested that we could level up our level 1 jobs, and so we did. I became a level 1 RDM/BLM and he became a level 1 WAR/WHM. We bought some equipment from the Auction House (He bought 2 +1 level 1 gears, expensive-much? D:) and then venturd out to East Ronfaure. I must say my taru looked pretty spiffy with his sword and hat. And well… Deadzone was a taru in leather, not much to say about that. We both leveled up to level 4 when I had to help out my mom with furniture stuff >.< When I came back Deadzone had already changed jobs to his 27 BLM/WHM and was in Selbina. He was trying to hunt for a Carbuncle’s Ruby, an item that was required to become a Summoner.

I offered my help and he came back to get some stuff and we headed out to Valkurm Dunes (outside of Selbina). We tried to fight some leeches but Deadzone kept dying since they linked, and instead of fighting 1, we ended up fighting 5. >.< Saisgirl, a mithra from our guild came to raise Deadzone and offered to help. But she told us to go to Buburimu peninsula to do it, and so we did. We went to Selbina, took the boat to Mhaura and went out to Buburimu Peninsula. We were told to stay near mhaura so we don’t die, and Saisgirl did all the work. Thank her kind soul ;O When reinforcements from our LS was about to come Deadzone had to log off :/ But since I might become a SMN later anyway we continued to try and get the Ruby. 4 extra people ended up coming and helping and in about an hour we had 2 rubies drop at the same time. Since the rubies are exquisite, you can’t trade/sell them. :/ If only deadzone was on for a bit longer… Oh well. I ended up getting a Ruby, and after saying my thanks I had to go to bed (4 am).

P.S. When Deadzone and I were leveling, we got 666 exp. >.<
