Level Up!

Thursday August 24, 2006 at 08:48 PM (EDT) by Cyberstorm

So I woke up this morning and decided to see if I had done enough PFC rank assaults to move onto SP rank. The only two PFC ranks I’ve done were Lamia No.13 and Lebros Supplies. But Rilian and I had done 20,000 Assault Points worth of Lebros Supplies, so I figured maybe rank up is points earned based and not doing 4/5 or 5/5 of the different Assaults for that rank. Turns out I had done enough. :3

Rilian logged on shortly after and the hoofprint that I had found was still there so he got his SP badge too.

Then it was off to level Dragoon. I was only 22k to level 74 and I was determined to get it! I got ~13-14k in one party, and the last one got me my level and a buffer of 6,992 exp.

Double Attack + Jump = Massive TP + Nice damage:

I was trying to see how high I could crit at level 73. I think I did pretty good. The Amir Korazin is really nice.

The Amir Korazin also seems to add a lot of damage to Penta Thrust. It does a pretty constant 500-600 damage without berserk, higher towards 800 with it, even against IT imps.

The first party was a normal party, but the second was a burn party. We had the main area all to ourselves, so we got a nice chain, and my level.

What’s the first thing you do when you level? That’s right, insane damage.

If parties didn’t show up, we could have kept going, probably chain 100+, but sadly 2-3 parties showed up and we lost our chain. This was the highest we got (and I ever got XP).

Of course, my polearm skill goes up when I level, so I deal out more and more damage.

I’m hoping to get a nice buffer into 74 today, maybe even 75, but I think that might be stretching it.

First off, some old news:

But in recent news (all the following happened Yesterday): Completed the streak of doing Lebros Cavern Assaults non-stop to get me 20,000 Assault Points.

Then it was off to help Rilian’s mother, Myraanda, to do her AF3!

Poor, poor too weak monsters that got in the way. But what’s AF3 without the ability to use it? That means it’s time for G2!

The team: Myraanda, Cyberstorm, Rilian, Tahngarth, Jadu, Kaegan. The poor monsters: Boreal Tiger (x2)/Hound (x2)/Coeurl. People couldn’t move fast enough so we had to… kill some monsters twice. I don’t know why, but it only parsed the damage of Rilian and I on the Coeurl, oh well. :p

Parser Report.

Rage

Tuesday August 22, 2006 at 10:20 AM (EDT) by Cyberstorm

The past 5 weeks have been pure hell. Adelphia, my internet provider, got bought by Comcast and a store next to my house opened up. That’s when all my internet troubles started happening. First, the internet was off for a whole week, took them a long time to get some idiot down here to fix it. Finally, they “fixed” it. A week later and it broke again.

Ever since then, I have an unstable connection. I can’t play FFXI. I usually have enough time to login, move, and then I would get booted off the internet. I’ve lost 3 parties because of it on Bard.

Finally, today I got results. I called them and they said that someone would come down to my house and fix it. Fix it when? A week from today. That’s right, a fucking week from today I can play FFXI again. Until then, depending on my luck, I can play FFXI for 5 seconds to 3 hours. This is really just the dumbest thing that’s ever happened.

Prolonged FFXI Update

Tuesday August 15, 2006 at 12:42 PM (EDT) by Cyberstorm

So I’ve been lazy and haven’t updated my blog with what I’ve been doing. Oh well, I have some stuff that I can post now so I’ll do it.

Few days ago I was leveling Dragoon again. Didn’t go too far with it, just had the urge to level it and so I did. I was only something like 8k from level 73, so I got my level pretty fast. Off to Caedarva Mire!

img_0164.png

As always, I take pictures of my high damage to brag about how good Dragoon can actually be. XP

First off, the Wheeling Thrusts.

Next, the Penta Thrusts.

And last but not least, the Impulse Drives… or Impulse Drive…

img_0173.png

Who say’s that Dragoon’s can’t match Warrior’s damage?

img_0170.png

Did some EXPing on White Mage, and got another 3 merits, so now I have Burst II!

img_0175.png

I’ve been exping Bard really fast too. Right now it’s 69, hoping to get 70 by tonight, 75 by Sunday/Monday. I got some nice exp from The Boyada Tree. :D

Trying to get some nice gear for Dragoon too. Involves doing a lot of Assault. Tranced, Rilian, and I have a static that does an Assault in Halving. All you have to do is evade crawlers and feed guards. You talk to the NPC where you start in the zone to get food. The two weakest foods you can get are Pea Soup and some bread. Here’s what I got… x_x;

img_0181.png

Did the HNM limbus last night. Got to finally test out Burst II in limbus, and it’s pretty nice. Cynoprosopi is Fafnir, only weaker and in Limbus. Still has all his nasty moves (Spike Flail to be exact). He didn’t like my magic. D:

The Big 600!

After that level, when I added up all my job levels, they added to the big… 600!
