Merit experiece and a few more things in game. . .

There's a lot of things that has been happening around the game. Lately, I was thinking to get my COR up but I later decided to get my RDM instead. I thought I want to just have melee jobs but I guess, I should do a job that will benefit from me being as a tarutaru. I actually am enjoying the job. Now I'm trying to get it to the 60's coz...I really like its AF, hehe.

Lots of merits for the last recent weeks.


I got my STR to the 4th level and working for the last STR level. Hopefully will get it done before school starts again. Few rampages with WAR on some mobs:


I think they were not that bad rampages considering my axe skills and basic WAR equipments (don't have N. abjs, only n.feet). I would have better results with a few more gear modifications.

Recently was helping a friend of mine to get the drop from his NM but won't drop it for him. The item is only 20k at the AH (last sale), it's just that, no one would sell them. ; ;. I guess it does have a really low drop rate. After a pop, we went in Labrynth of Onzozo to have a visit with some NMs inside. We got a few drops:



Congrats Pauk on the Assault jerkin >_> and Andy on the earring <_<;

Dynamis has been very exciting too. I joined the LS Limitless not long ago and last friday, we did an unofficial Dynamis-Xarcabard. We got a total of 4 AF2s. We also did Dynamis Lord that night and I got nothing to say about the awesome drops we had from him:


Grats to Pauk on the Mantle! I am happy for you man. Grats to Artem on the ring.
Off to level'ing RDM.

The Past, Present, and Future . . .

Welp, it's always a good thing to recall a few things in my FFXI career. Soo, what really made Ishmaell?

I started playing FFXI around the end of the year 2003 as a Tarutaru whitemage. I was invited by a good friend of mine who worked with me in RL to this game though, I actually bought the game already before he ever told me he was playing too. I started in a different server (Alexander I think) but got a world pass to Quetzalcoatl from my friend. After getting my taru whitemage to 61, I suddenly realize that it was not really fun for me. I then started to make gils to level Ranger. One guy "inspired" me of how Ranger was really a fun job back then (Boondocksaint). Good friend of mine^^.

I then got invited to join a God LS named ThousandSwords which was lead by Sandroi. The leader then was passed on to Atiba and we revived the linkshell who was then become known as Affinity. Lots of months passed, we became one of the dominating linkshells in Sky. But of course, everything has an end and everyone has to move on. Below is a video I made for the greatest linkshell I have ever been in:

The linkshell has to move on also, it has been revived to Fury who still exists today.

I left endgame because of a few reasons in RL. The main reason is because of school.

As of right now, well, I still play :D ~ My present status is just having fun playing with my friend in the holidays and getting my merits done. I also plan to get COR to 70+ when I have time to experience it when school starts again. Hopefully, one day, I'll be back in action in the endgame part of this game.

Now back to merit parties :D

It has begun!

Why hello everyone! I started my post about my FFXI adventures today and hopefully, everyone will enjoy their stay. :) For those people who does not know me, welcome.

Just want to give a brief description of my blog. It will feature all adventures I experience in the world of Vana'diel from this day. Well, I might also be posting a few things about the past so that a few people who reads this blog will know a few history of me. My next posts will probably feature a few things in the past.

Hope everyone enjoys their Christmas day!^^
