75 BLM - 43,999/44,000
75 THF - 43,999/44,000
75 RNG - 43,999/44,000

heck yeah!

next on the list:
more merits and
64 PLD - 11,930/24,500

Merits x12: done
Dagger skill 8/8

and on an interesting side note....

To date I've spent allied notes on:
Cobra Unit Leggings: 50k
Cobra Unit Subligar: 50k
Cobra Unit Trews: 50k
Cobra Unit Crackows: 50k
Cobra Unit Cloche: 40k
Cobra Unit Gloves: 40k
Cobra Unit Mittens: 40k
Cobra Unit Cap: 40k
Iron Ram Sallet: 60k
Iron Ram Dastanas: 60k
Iron Ram Greaves: 75K
Iron Ram Hose: 75k
Iron Ram Shield: 4.5k
Fourth Gun: 4.5k

Thats a total of 639,000 allied notes spent on items, I'd say an average of 20k spent on sigil, teleports etc.

so...
659,000 ish spent so far.
I just broke 400k again last night. @402k now.
This means I have earned 1,061,000 allied notes to date.

Mamby might be right. I do play with myself too much.

Keeping in mind, my day has just begun.

1) Wake up, pack up laptop, grab boots, raincoat and set out for walk to work. (Car battery is dead and payday is a few days a way still) The walk is 2.4 miles there, and 2.4 miles back. (thighs of fury soon enough!) I get about 1/3 of the way to work and it begins pouring. So tossing on my rain coat (cause i *can* think ahead) and gauge the direction the rain is coming at me to prop my laptop case away from. I continue on. Get to the halfway point and stop for a cig. Waited there a bit, wondering if it would let up. Finished smoke, continued last half of the way. Got to front work door, put key in lock... rain stops.

2) Found out boss not going to the fisherman's con today, so he'll be in today. wrecking the point of bringing in laptop to play ffxi.

3) Found out boss made a deal with the construction crew working next door to hold off on doing the work right next to his office wall until today as he'd be at the convention and they could drill holes into the concrete... NOW he gets to put up with it all day long. HA!

4) Found out the other guy who works here got a pep-talk entitled "when are you leaving?" So he's basically fired, which means his whiny self will be removed and I'll get the raise I've been denied for 4 years.

and it's currently 10:15 AM... day barely started!

I'm out of stuff to post, used it all up on LS page lol.

however happy to report BLM, RDM and THF all back @ 43,999/44,000

And Mamby got a 20k buffer back last night as well ^^

(i'll campaign her later :D )

Assault related material:

I figure since we will be spamming assault for points to use in salvage, we should probably go after individual ??? items that we would like. I snagged the info for these and will just list them by rank. I realize that some of these are way out of are reach atm, but it's just a heads up.

I'm gonna be home late. Boss man heading up to Ballard in a few, so I gotta stay until 5-5:30PM. Plus need to pay a few bills and hit up the grocery store. Will not be home tonight in time to static, but will be able to log on and do some campaign battles while at work.

Just be running AFK frequently.

20 minutes to go until relax time!

So, I've never been one to say lolpup or loldrg (unless I'm leveling drg :P) I've never invited a pup simply cause I was I had no clue what pup was and where to put them in a pt. A few nights ago me and my wife were building a pt, me on PLD and her on RDM. Found a WHM, SAM and WAR. was looking around and the only thing left with seek up was another SAM and a PUP. So i sent a tell to the pup asking them to join. I figured we were set on enhancing/healing and damage so this would be a good chance to check out what pup can do.

OMG!

So, pup shows up with there auto in RNG attire. They asked what job for their auto. I simply said, "I have no clue what a pup does, so whatever works best for you."

I'm really glad I grabbed the pup for two reasons. 1) they were incredibly nice. and 2) We lucked out and got a pup that understood his job very well. (which is good, cause I didn't lol)

The pup was easily out-DDing the SAM and WAR. The Auto itself was putting out close to RNG numbers. Adding in the pup's WS's and I'm sure it was about even to a RNG w/o Barrage.

PT went on for a long while and everyone got enough levels to get out of Adyeewa.

Next evening the pup was soloing on VT lesser colibris with seek up. Yes soloing VTs. So me and my wife went out to trio cause no one was responding to tells. PUP had WHM auto out. PUP was level 60 at the time, we were 61 and 62. So exp dropped off a bit for the pup, but were were chaining to 5 and just messing around. Then we got aggro from a fomor. And the oddest thing happened.

I got regen II cast on me.

My wife had only regen. then Cure V lands on me...

o.O The auto then erased the drown I had on me from the fomor.

I'm sold. PUP is awesome.

Finished off the night doing the PUP AF head piece fight.

PAYCHECKS!

HELLYEAH!

COFFEE AND REAL SMOKES!

{um...} {i'm sorry} just got excited....

New relic weapons. better/not better than dyna ones. enhances job abilities and att's twice, just not as hard hitting as dyna relic.

I believe I read that these new relic were supposed to be a bit easier to obtain. Obviously that's untrue. These are considerably harder.

Done talking about them though cause I'm sure on a long enough time line I still won't have one :P

The one thing that pisses me off about the WHM club is that is supposedly has a permanent Divine Veil effect which I think WHM should have anyway. That and hastaga. RDM should not be the healer. But will continue to be as WHM has become the unneeded healer. as PLD is the unneeded tank. Which is really frustrating cause anything "end game" requires them, and they're expected to be merited, yet no one invites them for meriting. THAT is what SE should be fixing. Instead of giving SAM more job abilities.

Tried Einherjar for the first time Sunday. Was chaotic but fun. Look forward to trying again next Sunday.

Another month of city runs. Only Xarc is this weekend and it's beastmen owned. Hopefully the shell will make enough currency to do some more northland runs. So, i've decided that I may have to come THF every city run instead of mage. Last bastok no 100's dropped. time before I was on THF and tagged all the stats and 3 dropped. (maybe 4, don't really pay attention to currency) It's either that, or I make sure a THF is loaded with bolts.

Doing assault tonight. Working toward rank and points. Would like to get to point where we have the rank and items we all want out of assault and go to Nyzul Isle. This time w/o a MNK/WAR tank that drains MP like a $%#&er.

Bored at work. Not really organizing thoughts, just kinda regurgitating them. Boss is here so I can't log in and campaign or farm lol. No worries though, he should be leaving earlier tomorrow, so I may have an hour or two to mess around. Laptop ftw! (also interestingly enough, I appear to be the only person on the planet who can play FFXI on vista w/o problems. Odd.)

Trying to finish PLD then RNG. But honestly, I'm starting to loose interest in exping. Gonna get those 2 to 75 and probably call it quits as far as leveling anything else. Frustrating enough have to re-obtain exp every time I eat dirt. This will put me at 5 jobs to re-obtain exp on. Enough is enough. (I say that now, then watch me level DRG or something in a few months)

I think after assault I'm gonna give in to Mamby's request and duo the ENM brothers with her.
Been bugging me about that almost as long as her RDM with my PLD.

AHHHH END ALL READY! I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER GAME OF SPIDER SOLITAIRE! THE COMPUTER HAX!

meep.

So server maintenance. 3-1/2 ish hours until back up. already bored with Spider solitaire. Spend most of yesterday helping.

Khatana got old gauntlets from Beadeaux, as well as Illsaide's friend Eriq (PLD legs not WHM). Got many BLM scrolls in there. (flood, waterga 3, water 4.) Ziotahn lotted them so that should help.

Got Zio wizard's coat. he ended up with stonega III off Warlord in Monastic Cavern.

Eventually they all pussed out. Cause of work or something like that in the morning. excuses excuses. So I had Zio run out to LoO and pt up with me. stood around waiting for Mysticmaker Asshatix to pop. lost first claim to a pair of JP who didn't get drop. next pop I got, no one was around. he got earring. no good scrolls off him though. seriously, you east coasters want coffers or NMs just take a nap in the evening and log in about 1 hour after you usually log off. zero competition.

Took forever to get coffers for Zio, Khat and Eriq due to a lot of ppl going after AF.

When Mamby got tired I had her pt up and stand in the Crawlers' Nest. proceeded to kill Death Jackets til my TH wore out. ended up with 10+ stacks of beehive chips and she got 14 royal jellies. Hopefully that will be enough to take her from 99.7 to 100 cooking.

Speaking of which, building stacks of Mugwort for Shin.

3 hours left.

i think i'll make food.

Got RNG to 61 so I could equip 2x Trailer's Kukris and my Amemet Mantle +1. The Seline's bow is nice as well (too bad I equiped it on the r.acc+25 r.att+5 moon phase).

We were fighting colibri. am now 2/20k.

once I equipped Seline's Bow my Sidewinder damage was about 900 average. with a few spikes of 1020+

Long story short... I'm really curious to see how far I can stack this damage if I actually use food (about time to upgrade to coeurl subs too :P).

Now to work on enough conquest points to get a P.P. Arrow.

Shin and Andain... Hurry up and come back from vacation. I wanna shoot stuff!

emergency maintenance. yesterday during campaign i noticed sneak attack wasn't going off. I had originally thought that i was lagging and just missing the line up, but after popping sneak attack and being set perfectly behind a Ronin and getting no critical hit, i realized that it's no wonder my SA Dancing Edge did 400 lol.

This kinda blows because... this is my last day of @ work slacking cause the {Mega Boss} is coming into town tomorrow. But hell, as long as my sneak attack works when I log in ^^

Update:

HNMs added.
does nothing for me. I don't do HNM stuff. And I really hope SE didn't leave 6ppl pt's out of the new pop item NMs, but I'm sure they did.

Ixion:
Not an avatar. That's to bad. Is an HNM. That's worse. Ixion's Cloak = Awesome. But that's awesome I'll never know.

Nomad Mogs:
Awesome, I don't have any dunes jobs now >.> but awesome for all the new players and ppl still working on subs ^^

Mogstorage:
WIN. (but I can't help thinking about SE's "we can't increase storage, the PS2 can't handle it!")

New allied notes equip:
Not too shabby, still gotta wait on body pieces, but that's something to look forward too ^^

Missions:
I wonder how long it's gonna be before we get some more? I imagine it'll be as drawn out as CoP and ToAU were though. Probably be a few more months until we see anything more. (which is kinda nice, since I want to actually do THIS expansion as it's released lol, no more slacking and feeling ridiculously behind)

Campaign:
Ouch. We're getting our asses kicked again. but the XP wasn't cut as bad this time. OPs on the other hand... >.>
I usually spam the Campaign supplies in Saruta 7 times once a week. 350xp + 1000 notes x 7 = 2450xp + 7000 notes.
However...
now cause it's the one ppl spam i got 178xp and 510 notes. 1246xp / 3570 notes total. Here's the problem... I used th OPs on low level jobs that have a difficult time getting pt invites and cannot do campaign. Now that's not a possibility anymore. well it is, but it's only half a nice. oh well. It'll probably keep me from leveling a few jobs I was interested in, but it'll also save me gil.

Crafting:
Um... ?
Ok, the cannot synth HQ thing is kinda cool, but there was supposed to be an HQ increase item? where did that go? (possibly in a future update? I hope.)

Equip:
Awesome. Pure liquid awesome. Now I know why the increased drop rate of dynamis can happen without SE freaking too much, they just made gear that's beyond any Dynamis Drop lol.
However, this posses the question of "are any of the pop NMs able to be killed by 6ppl?" Which after seeing those stats, I'm gonna assume no. Well theres always Assault and Dyna for me. will have to be good enough.
Do feel bad for the Salvage ppl though, especially if these equip end up being easier to obtain. I can see the price of imperial wootz ingots dropping. Most if the body pieces seem to be way better than the salvage gear. Oh, new grips... NO! %#$@ YOU SE! I'm not getting 8 elemental grips. I refuse it. Give us 2 more gobbie bags and I'll think about it. I sit @ 62/65 on RDM and BLM most of the time.

Gonna have to look up the new quests. actually, gonna have to finish the old ones lol. still need last gobbie bag quest done. Probably should go kill that stupid Orc.

Is the maintenance done yet?

nope >.>

@ 30% downloaded.

I'm at work, began update. gonna have to cancel it eventually to head home. Something ridiculous like 5-1/2 hours left on this slow ass 256k. I keep trying to push the broadband here at work, but they don't want to spring the cash for it. (a little more expensive in a business application.

I am mostly indifferent to most of the update as it no longer/will probably never apply to me. i.e. I'm not a MNK or leveling in the dunes. Have never through money away err.. raised a chocobo. However the WotG missions seems cool. as well as the much needed medal increase with new items, and the ability to get items from other countries with my insane amount of allied notes. think I'm at 340k as of last night, and I've burned on Items alone probably 150k so far (not including warping to campaign areas). If only conquest points racked up as fast lol.

 CoP.  Is not hard. At all. Period. SE made adjustments to use more items per fight, and we're not even using them a lot of the time. In fact the only real noticeable difference is the Promy mobs, or lack there of. Should be in Sea next weekend, just have to plan which day to do slap Tenzen's emo ass around.  (I should mention that CoP may in fact be difficult. but my Static group is so fucking PRO we can't tell.)

Both Mamby and I have stopped watching the cs. It's been 3 years since we started the missions, neither of remember what happened back. We're both to lazy to go and re-watch the cs. Basically the story is this: Promethia is coming, thats bad, we chase down, get access to new areas, kill Promathia, get a shiny ring. That about sums up the storyline from what i can tell.

If SE makes another CoP I'll be pissed. I'm so tired of running around all over the damned place getting cs. It's especially bad when it's: talk to Cid, head to Jeuno, head to the middle of some zone that chocobo's can enter, go back to jeuno, then to Cid. WTF SE? How's is that necessary?

HA! I got a POL error, ad have to restart the DL. this is gonna be a long night lol.

GDI Update! Finish already! I wanna see the new shiny things!

all mules level 5!

so.....

RNG is now 28. Slow slow slow ass leveling these days. No one wants to party. Or they do want to party, but the suck at it.

List of priorities. (in w/e order really)
~Shikaree Aketon (need a pantie raid)

~Swift Belt (Shin has planted the seed) (speaking of which theres a small problem with the setup he suggested last night. Mamby's alt must defeat Ouryu before gaining entrance to the Sacrarium (sp?). but that shouldn't be too hard since he's a pushover anyway. **

~Selene's Bow (forced pop NM in the range on full and new moon)

~Vali's Bow (ra/ex version of Euyrotos Box) (yeah right, i don't even have the patience to get a charbdis ToD ; ;)

~O. Bow (goblin NM drop, would finish off bow and x bow needs)

~Archer's Jupon (100% drop off antlion NM in the chasm) (think i can solo even ^^)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a discussion about doing Nyzul Isle after we finish CoP. I'm down. I like the look of the Danali set. And I'm hoping the new relic weapons will be put in there, cause the RDM sword would make me happy for a long time.

Also i'll have to double check if there's an interest with doing ToAH missions, cause i'd like to get those done as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday night is CoP run. most likely doing the fork w/o BCNM fights. uncapped NMs are always nice. I requested that we do the mithra / snoll path last as mithra is the last 50 cap and snoll puts us on 60 caps from that point. I'd like to get rid of my level capped gear. I can haz mog space?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the second path has a BCNM in newton. I bring this up because RUTTER SABOTONS!!!!!

I have 1x airtank. I am up for farming / xping on moblins with said airtank for all that want.

STATS: LV67 DEF:16 STR+3 VIT+2 Attack+5 slow+3%

usable by BRD BLU BST COR DRK DRG NIN PLD RDM RNG SAM THF WAR

you know you want some! swift belts and rutters for all!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now for something completely different....

I closed my lolretirement fund last year, this year my company sent $419 to the account. (i said lol account) and I do not have an account... but i'll tell you what I do have.... a check for $419 being sent out today. It's not much but it's always nice to get money you didn't know you had lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to FFXI.

I am almost done, need to get three more galka mnk mules to 5 and i'll have 16 x 10 = 160 chances to win MOG BONANZA! (read: xp scrolls on a bunch of mules)

however, *IF* i were to win 100 mil. I'd be calm and collected. I wouldn't go nuts and blow through all the money, I'd just buy the essentials

here's a list of the "essentials"

Blau Dolch
Enhancing Sword
Enfeebling Torque
Enfeebling Earring
Elemental Earring
Evasion Earring
Evasion Torque
Scorpion Harness +1
Terra's Staff
Apollo's Staff
Aquilo's Staff
Auster's Staff
Jupiter's Staff
Neptune's Staff
Pluto's Staff
Vulcan's Staff
Commander's Cape
Euyotos's Bow

you know, the essentials.

:P

FFXI:
Trying to level RNG. Hit 23 last night, was gonna solo worms in Korrokola to 24, but I opted for sleeping instead. This morning I woke up at 5AM and logged in, the logged out and went to sleep until 8AM. Somehow I'm still tired. Was going to recap THF this morning in campaign as well, but the pillow was calling.

LIFE:
Speaking of pillow calling... I woke myself up laughing. Odd. OK, for starters, I work in a warehouse (run it really) that is the U.S. branch of an Indian company. Deals with ropes and twines, specifically fishing and sporting nets. About once a month we get a container of stuff and I have to unload it. The president of the U.S. branch lives in Canada, so he's rarely in the office.

Anyway, the dream. The boss was in from visiting a customer in Salem. And came back all superstitious tossing salt over his shoulder and apparently rubbing babies on his car radio to ward off evil music. (don't ask, my head is a very wrong place) Also a container had come in and some homeless people had taken up residence in it, and the only solution I could think of was to set them on pallets and find a place in the racks for them. (again, don't ask.) (also don't ask why M.C. Hammer was break dancing in the warehouse either)
