So in recent news, I caught a cold on Sunday, and I’ve missed 3 days of school because of it. And since I’m sick, I figured why not write an entry in my blog, since I never do that anymore.
So here I am.
Since the last real FFXI update, a lot has happened. My Dragoon and Bard have hit 75, my Red Mage has hit 51 (2 nights ago that happened), and I’ve got a few new records and new armor.
This is when my Dragoon hit level 75:
So what did I do first when my Dragoon hit 75? I seeked to find a Mezraq, the best polearm for Dragoon, not counting the Love Polearm since it requires stones to not suck. At the time, the polearm was like 2 mil on the AH, but I got it for 1.4 mil from a bazaar! Not sure what it is now however…
So my Bard is level 75 now! What does that mean? Insane exp. I’ve capped exp on Bard, and got a new highest chain record. I went from having Chain 74 to Chain 106 as my highest! I was the puller in the party, and it would’ve gone higher if there weren’t so many parties there at the time taking all the monsters. 
Assault time! Rilian, Tranced and I decided to keep doing Halving staging point PFC mission until we got another 20,000 Assault Points! They got gil and I got the best foot gear for Black Mages ever, Yigit Crackows. (Best in exp parties, there are better feet gear for stuff such as HNM).
My Paladin has hit 68 (it’s 2,000 exp away from 69), so Rilian helped me get a Jelly Ring. It’s a pretty nice ring. The first attempt, we got aggro and died. But we came back, and I carby tanked him to death. Meteorite did a ton of damage (700+), and Sewer Syrup doesn’t have much HP to begin with.
Over to {sea}. Limbus boss, Proto-Ultima. 18 people BCNM with a 45 minute time limit. This is our 3rd or 4th successful run against him. Finally I get something from him. :p Eventually I hope to get the full set, but for now, the feet are great (I didn’t snag a screenshot of the gear, but I’ll add one later). The only other piece I really want badly is the hands (-1 prep. for avatars, really nice).
Back to Dragoon. Rilian (WHM/WAR), Kazuo (WHM/BLM) and I (DRG/WAR) went and exp’d in Caedarva. It was a really good party, and it was the first time I tried Meat (Hedgehog Pie to be exact) in a party (I normally eat Sushi, Sole or sometimes Sole +1). So since I was using meat, I got a drastic increase in damage output. The below weapon skills show it. Oh, and just in case you wanted to see, oh say a parser report, here it is.
Last article. Last night/this morning, I finished off my Red Mage artifact set. So this is now #7 of my complete AF sets.
