Day 2 of My Journey Back

So I get on today to try and level DRG some more. I have my gear on and ready when I logged on. I head to Buburimu to take on some pages. I chose page 1, kill Syvesteres and Mighty Rerab. I attack a Rerab and I get attacked by a gob. Needless to say, even though I disengaged and ran, I still died as I was about to zone.


At this point, I decided to start cooking. It takes a while to get unweakened. I came back when I was done with chopping up my food. I got to talk to Frizzlefry and people in my main LS. I did so as I was fighting. There was a guy in the zone Loshinoloi who helped kill off the gobs. Yay for me.


The thing that made me laugh in LS was this guy named Gelfing. Just because my char is lowlevel, he thought I was a newbie. He's talking to me as if I'm just starting out the game, lol. Granted I may have forgotten a thing or 2 in my absence, but I'm no newb. He didn't even notice that I'm a sackholder or my nation rank is too high for my level. Lol. Arisonsbaby had to tell him to stop calling me Tiger and that I'm known as TK. He even noticed I leveled and congratulated me. He's trying to be encouraging I know, but it's too darn funny.


A lot of old friends are still on game and some are gone. I do have to eliminate some friends off of my list, like Clinpachi. Whatever went down in the dyna shell while I was gone is his business and none of mine. I don't need to feel the brunt of it. People who are not playing anymore that were cool is Zannon. He stopped playing after the dyna fiasco. Oh well. Frizzle said the game has changed a lot. I'm sure it has and will continue to do so. Especially after the world merge on May 10th.


By end of my time on the game, I gained 2 levels and am now 18. 42 levels to go.

Guess What??.... I'm Back!!!!

I'm signed on game for first time in a while tonight. It's was a great experience. I saw a lot of friends still on the game. That was a great to see. 

As I stated in a previous post, I'm leveling DRG to 60 or 65 to beat Maat. I don't want to do the RDM fight again. So I get on to find my macros missing. I had to back out to restore them from the server. Thank goodness they were still there.

Thus began a desperate search for gear. I changed from RDM to DRG to find I need earrings, body, hands & weapon. So I run to AH in Windy, NOTHING. I go and switch to SMN so I could go to Jeuno easily. I had to be reminded how to OP warp. I go thru Quifm to get to Jeuno.

In Qufim, I found my first asshole. I get a tell & invite for me to help this person Skill Up. It was not a question, but a demand. I ignored him. I hope I don't get any more assholes, but then again, the World Merge is happening soon & we will get a shitload of people from Diabolos server.  Anyway I digress.  I make it to Jeuno AH and there's nothing on AH there either. WTF?  Has the economy gone to hell? I did get a pair of gloves anyhow.

I sent a ls message to borrow some gear. Cyricbellheart, had a huge heart & lent me a weapon & body. I meet  him in Windy and we decide to duo in Tahrongi. We only did one page. He was level 11 and leveled twice. I leveled myself too. I didn't find out until I quit for the evening.  44 more levels to go. I have a lot to work on. Duoing with Cyric was a lot of fun.



Well that's it for now. Until my next expedition into Vana'diel.

A Little Change to This Blog

I have made a slight change to the side panel of my blog. This blog will forever be my FFXI blog & will return to the game the latter half of April. However, I do play a lot of games on my iPhone, PS3 and Xbox. These games are quick easy games. Not like FFXI that takes at least 3 hours to play at one sitting.

So I was suggested to do reviews on some of the games that I play or have played. The change I made in this blog is the box that used to say "Status Updates" is now called "Gaming Updates".  For those who may be interested in the other games you can click on the link and be taken to the blog post for the game.

Take care.

See you in Vana'diel soon.

World Merge March 26th

So Siren will be receiving residents from Diabolos server. I'm not sure if I like that. I've heard Diabolos has a ton of assholes. But that's just hearsay. Hopefully we get some decent people.

I believe I shall return to Vana'diel after Tax season is complete. I do miss the game.

A White Mage and a Dark Knight had a date…

story by Demicus of Siren

A White Mage and a Dark Knight had a date…

WHM: I got a date with that Dark Knight tonight...

PLD: A DRK? One of those emo knights eh? This should be interesting.

WHM: He's not emo, he's just multifaceted.

PLD: Multifaceted, you mean multi-hit weapon skill.

WHM: What?

PLD: NVM.

WHM: Well anyways we're going to the Lion Springs Bar in South San D' Oria.

PLD: I danced there once.

WHM: You what?

PLD: It was for a quest, don't look at me that way.

WHM: ...

PLD: Well be careful, he's a Dark Knight, he's probably into all sorts of weird stuff, like cutting himself, and you. He'll probably try to bind you up or something.

WHM: DRK's don't get bind.

PLD: What if he's subbing rdm?

WHM: I doubt it'd land, but I'd just repose and tele the holla outta there. Maybe. Hmmm.

WHM: Well I'm gonna go on now, I'll see you later!

PLD: Atleast cast blink on yourself, sub nin or something!

WHM: BYE!

Later, in South San D' Oria...

WHM: So then no sooner did I repose the Eruca, our nin slapped it with his Katana, waking it up. He claims he didn't see the spell go off but I think he just wanted to try to solo it.

DRK: I see, so tell me, have you ever found it odd that WHMs use hammers as a weapon? That's gotta hurt more than my scythe. Ironic isn't it? You heal, yet your weapon has to inflict the most excruciating pain to your foes, breaking them from the inside.

WHM: That's quite an interesting way to put it. I hadn't thought about it like that, it's rare that I get to DD though, I always have cure you guys!

DRK: Yes, as a DRK, I must confess my appreciation of you, and your job, I would not have killed even a tenth of the mobs I've killed without your ever diligent support. Still I can sense you yearn for the spilling of blood.

WHM: Heheehe, don't be silly, I heal, I don't kill...

DRK: More hollow words have never been spoken m'lady, You see, I have an abyssite of Discernment, so I can tell what you're really thinking.

WHM: OMG, are you serious?

DRK: No, but, you should've seen the look on your face.

WHM: Well, ok ok, maybe just a little... I admit, whenever I sub nin, and I put that second hammer in my hands, I feel like bashing the tar out of stuff. Its odd, but I feel like I can take on anything. I mean within reason. I secretly went out and got Reverend mail one day with a group of friends, and never told anyone outside that party.

DRK: Hmmm. The plot thickens...

WHM: Oh stop /Blush.

They both sip their ales.

WHM: So, whats with so many DRK subbing nin these days? Don't you guys love /sam?

DRK: Funny you should ask. A friend of mine told me how good his Vorpal Blade was in comparison to Guillotine, and I scoffed. But hey, with all these Over Powered Crit + and STR+ Atmas out there, I figured, why not.

Once I saw it first hand, I was impressed, so I decided  to make a sword build. Sure enough I was easilly trumping my guillotine by 1000-1500 each time, so naturally... Also /nin has so much survivability, and with magian trials I made a... My dear, I'm boring you aren't I? Come, let us talk some about something a little less rougeish.

WHM: Don't be silly, I am totally curious about this, because well, I feel its time to dust off the ole Reverend mail. /grin.

DRK: Hmmm, you know miss WHM, you strike me as one who secretly has a WAR or something up your sleeve.

WHM: /Blush.

WHM: Yeah, I also noticed you subbed rdm tonight.

DRK: /Blush. Yeah I uh was soloing something earlier.

WHM: MmmmHmmm

I'm tired....

So I am at the point where I need to take a break from the game. I will contimue to pay for the service. With my life being so crazy it's hard to get on. I don't want my dyna shell think I'm just ditching them. I'm not. I will miss them. To all my friends on game, I will see you soon. Some time in the new year.

Damn It! Almost Had Him!!!!

So after a long time away from the game, the first thing I do when I get on, fight Maat. I was relaxed and ready. So I run off to see the old man. Everything was working like clockwork. He was staying slept. I even slept his chainspell. I got him down below 50%. Slept him, silenced him and then I put on my Chainspell. Of course he woke up and bind wore off.Then silence did, but I was still nuking him. He had put on a strong poison. So I tried sleeping him but he kept interrupting. So it was down to who was gonna die first! It was me due to poison. I couldn't take an anecdote nor cast a spell. But he was so close to death. I felt cheated. I so felt today was the day. So I was trying to get another testimony in Delkfutt Tower. Friend newly named Aukai (can't tell you his previous name because he'd like to play drama free) came to help. I grabbed a pot. We were going okay until he aggro'd 2 gigas. So in the end I was fighting pot alone and I died. I could've taken the pot if I didn't run out of MP. I had to HP and return. I put on RR and went to raise Aukai. I decided to take on the bats cause I have before. I slept the additional bat. Don't know what's going on but the bats were kicking my ass. They never kick my ass. I died of course. Aukai finished them off. i rested up and pulled another pot. I got the testimony. Thank goodness I didn't have to stay there all day. Then I joined Aukai in Cape Terrigan to do some FOV. I like doing this. I get skill ups and exp. I definitely need the exp before I head to another dynamis. I didn't get to finish page with him. My boyfriend came home and started to distract me, lol.
