Life at Vana'diel: October 2004

Bad Luck

I didnt get a single Astral ring since Tuesday (T_T), even though I managed to open 6 coffers. All I got is gil, from 8K~13K.
Kinda felt being cursed........... Even worse, I bought 1 stack of Shinobi-Tabi in Jeuno AH for 97K instead of 9.7K....... ; ;
Then I decided to sell my hairpin and leaping boots to get 2 sniper rings for my Warrior. Maybe it is not wise to use THF farm Astral ring continually.

Pre-run for Promyvion-Holla

Today I went for farming of recollection with 8 LS members for Promyvion-Holla.
It is fun and excitement w~ compared with the boring THF leveling in the past 3 weeks.
I went there as BLM, and eventualy becomes a healer. Supprisingly I felt like to play as mage, maybe I have played too much melee char? Maybe I should continue my WHM after farm enough gil for my WAR equipments.^^

Yeah THF60

Finally my thief reaches lvl60 today, After 5 hours party. ^^
Then went to Castle Oztroja to try my luck, and I FOUND THE TREASURE COFFER right after the leech pool. With finger crossed, I tried to open the coffer with living keys. "You unlock the chest! You found an Astral Ring"^^
Wow, it is sweet! I flee out of the Castle Oztroja and heading back to Jeuno, since my LS members are waiting for me for lvl61~63 party. It is not the happiest moment yet, I found the price of Astral ring is 230K! ( the normal price range was 180K ~200K). Immediately I put my Astral ring in the auction house, then went for the party^^.
Party at onzozo is a bit messy at beginning, because there are total 4 parties there -.-? All the Temoras are pulled right after spawn. And I keep missing the mob during fighting, which is so ........ (I must go Castle Oztroja more often to earn more gil now >.<) Still Managed to get around 4K exp after 2hours party.
And i found my Astal ring was sold after returning to Jeuno W...
What a lucky day!

Finally I can wear my Rogue's Vest

Finally I can wear my lvl58 AF armor - Rogue's Vest, after 3.5hrs' party last night. Now my thief is 32k exp away from lvl60. Excitement!^^

I will start farming with thf, once it reaches lvl60. Need around 2~3 Million gils to buy up-to-date equipments for my warrior. T_T sianzzzzzz

Just felt getting tired of leveling one job after another now. Maybe it is time for me to concentrate on warrior, and doing some high level quest/mission with my Linkshell Members. Start to feel guilty for ignoring them while chionging level myself ; ;

I met an old Japanese friend "Pirotan" recently. He is my first japanese friend in FFXI, since this January. I was a tarutaru whitemage and he was a tarutaru thief, when we met for the first time.
I cannot describe the feeling of partying again with an old friend after 8 months.
It is GREAT!

Another day

Another day has passed while I was trying my best to get thf to lvl60. I formed a party last night, and get myself and squallwl about 8k exp. It is not bad as we only fighting for 2 hours (4 meat dish used). However, I felt maybe it is the time to move to Cape Terrigan or Gustav Tunnel for lvling party. The exp gain is not very good since I am lvl57 in Boyahda Tree.

Besides, I just found that I made a big mistake to go for lvling last night, as I already had an appointment with an old LS member. I think he/she was mad because I fly aeroplane...
Arhhhh.. (T_T)
Just hope he/she cools down today, and accept my appology.

AF armor

Today I opened coffer for AF pants and body armor. First tempt ends up a Mimic pop up ; ; Have to perfect dodge and instant warp.but have 100% success rate in the following 2 tries..After this, I also got my AF2 for THF, thanks to the help from Votricion, Dragonwiz and squishy^^Now left only the AF3 armor for my THF^^Suddently I have mood to lvl thf, and post my AF pic for DRK and WAR.
