Dial Up + FFXI= No money

[eternalshiva]

I recently obtained that super awesome Duelist Chapeau for my RDM <3 I'm 4/5 on Relic AF for RDM! Just need the tabard. Is it just me or does Northland AF drops suck arse?

EDIT: Good luck in WoW! I hear it's fun for the first little while :P They all come back evantually to FFXI! Now make sure you don;t start preaching about hot crappy FFXI is compared to WoW and how we're wasting our time etc, we've heard it before and it's a pointless arguement. We still like FFXI ;o

Though, may I ask, why you are on dial up? Broadband's pretty cheap these days.

I live on campus at my college, and there's no broadband access, or rather the only broadband is a Token Ring which is not compatible with the ps2, which is what I play ffxi on. For that matter I could theoretically play ffxi on pc and have the token ring, but my pc won't work on a token ring either. A local cable company has cable internet but the college goes through a different company that doesn't. It's horrible, really.

Grats ES. I never did get either of my northlands pieces. While I was gone though my old dynamis ls got 4 Assassin Armlets in one run. It's sad, b/c now that I'm on dial-up I can't really do dynamis runs. They tend to get a lot of drops b/c they're very proficient at dynamis. They've double cleared each of the 4 cities, and are conquering more and more of the northlands each time they go. I've actually found that Xarc drops seem to be more common than Beaucedine. Beaucedine sucks.

Actually I think the big lie in the FFXI community is that everyone that plays WoW comes back. For every 1 you hear about coming back there are probably 10 or more that don't. The ones that do are the super hardcore players that have the time to devote to endgame. For someone who can play that much, WoW would likely be a bore as they would get done very quickly. (Well known endgame BLM on my server took Mage to 60 in under 2 months and completed all of his dungeon and tier gear and was just a little short on finishing his epics apparently by the end of his 3rd month before quitting and returning to FFXI)

As for preaching about how crappy one is over the other, they are very different games for different types of people with different amounts of available free time. FFXI is a phenominal game with good bones, but they have the crappiest development team that doesn't seem to care about the players or even understand the mechanics of the game they have created. I think FFXI is such a good game that it perhaps could've become a super power like WoW if not for the lazy development.

As for northlands gear. I was lucky and got both of mine on my very first runs to each zone, but that's just insane luck. My D shell has good luck with RDM hats which most people complain about. It's SMN that's rare. In 1.5 years I've seen 2 horns and 1 Doublet. Apparently my LS did Xarc tonight and DL dropped another Mantle. They haven't seen a ring in a very long time.

[Del Murder]

Yeah but aren't you one of those hardcore players?

In recent accomplishment news, I got Blu to 19. It's really fun. I can either tank or DD with ease, but no one really is interested in a Blu tank. I want to see if I can try to solo some. I hear Korokola Tunnel is a good place. Is that true? I'm going to go there anyway to try to get a Nadrs for level 24.

[eternalshiva]

Korroloka Tunnel is like sex to low level soloers ;o I got my rng from 14 to 20 in there in no time. was hard as hell though lol

[Jecksy]

I still need to get my choco :X I recently decided to take a break from lvling my whm and kick some ass on my monk. I think the parties I was in were sick of the white mage trying to become the offence. *sigh*

[Mirage]

Melee whitemages for the win!

[Rostum]

Did my first Xarcabard dynamis. =) Also tried Divine Might, but ran out of time (had the Elvaan and Hume left), seems a lot of that fight is based on luck. We had a good strategy and everything.

So next time we're bring a lot more pentasphere's and we'll be prepared for it!
