MARCH
In March I accomplished alot, it was also my birthday on the 26th, but as usual no one remembered besides my family and one close friend that I've known for a very long time. I don't blame people though, it's a hassle to remember birthdays, just like a lot of other things. Dynamis has been great to me these last two months. I got my Ninja Chainmail and it is definitely one of the coolest body armors that I have look-wise. It dropped on some of the first mobs in the zone if I remember correctly and I had priority so there was no competition.
One of the first HNMs I was able to tank as NIN was the Orc King. I wasn't even 75 at the time (aw I spoiled it, I'm 75 now) but I think I was 72 and it was a really fun time. We had almost full loot I believe. Maybe I should kill-shot more nms because these drops were awesome. I also picked up this sword that I think I used for 10 minutes when we headed back up to sky to continue farming diorite; then it went straight to the mog locker.
I went and did the biggest joke quest in the game as well, just because inventory +1 sounded like a great idea (And I could start another quest that I have been wanting to do. So Kentare, Inferno, and Azarus came and helped kill the nm and I know I said thank you, but thanks again, means alot to me.
Next off we have the Dynamis-Windurst discussion. Now I know everyone loves that zone as much as I do (being sarcastic, of course) but lately it has just plain-old sucked. Now you probably asking why is that. Well because in two Dynamis-Windurst runs we have had eleven (yes 11) Warrior's masks drop. Can you guess what happened to, I believe, 8/11 of them?
Here is a nice screen from Windurst as well that I liked (and because so far I cannot find another one to use.)
As for those Hecatomb Hands that I received from Byakko a while back, well they are finally un-cursed, so quick screen-shot here.
The update was kinda cool I guess. The most useful thing that I got out of it was buying Monomi (Ninja Sneak) the day it came out. I didn't buy the tools until they lowered in price though because I was smart and not in need of them. Overall though, it wasn't that bad of an update and was a good job on Square Enix's part; unless I'm forgetting something crucial, but I think not at this time.
Next off I said dyna has been good to me. 3/5 RNG When I got this, beat one other person with my 983 lot, I was pretty happy because this is another awesome looking (but unfortunately useless except in certain scenarios) body piece, straight outta Dynamis-Xarcabard.
Now in my Fraps folder it finally looks like I am to the part where I receive another sky drop. Before I post the screen-shot I would like to say thanks to everyone in DarkEmpires that night and everyone forehand that helped farm the triggers for the pop. It is very much appreciated, thank you very much.
I love these dang things!!!
Now those pants, would get cold and old if I didn't have a job to hold them. On March 18, 2008 I dinged 75 on my Ninja and it is one hell of a job to play around with. At times it can become frustrating, but what would FFXI be without frustration?
Now when I originally went to the Labyrinth of Onozo, I was only there to accomplish one thing, too bad that never works for me and I ended up screwing around and having fun for a few hours after I was done.
Originally though, I only went to do the Blade: Ku wsnm though which I accomplished with ease. I'd like to say thank you to Angron and Serpent for helping me there, we destroyed the huge crab (and Angron did like half its hp with a weapon skill.) Two trial weapons unlocked in a month and two weapon skill nms beat, that isn't too bad in my opinion; even though I started the pole arm months ago but only put around 50 points on it soloing.
I've been dong a little meriting lately specifically for NIN. The first thing I did was spend one point on Subtle Blow because when I solo (which is alot on Ninja) every little bit can help. It is going to be the first thing I cap for NIN category 1 merits. Not really positve what I'll merit in Category 1 besides that and what I will do in Category 2 as well. If you have any suggestions let me know, be glad for some help deciding.
One thing I like to do on my Ninja is solo in sea. It's something different to do and keeps me away from everyone else (mainly the noobs) on the game. I get decent experience (when I am not dying to Blizzaga III.) I have been working on Organs for Obis and the first one I got was Anrin because it is nice for Kurayami macro on darksday (also, I only needed to farm one more organ for it and I would have had all the items needed because of previous sea trips.)
Back to sky again, close to the end of March I got my Genbu's Kabuto making me 3/5 on the sky god set. Unfortunately though this gimp head cost me 400 points which is alot seeing Byakko's Haidate cost me only 50. Thank you again nevertheless DarkEmpires.
Towards the end of the month we got to kill Simurgh (multiple times for no drop.) It's a fun fight (when you aren't slowed and your Utsusemi: Ni timer is at around 3 Minutes.) It can be challenging as a ninja.
That's it for this post as far as ffxi. Now I need to adress something to certain people who know who they are. It's hard when you don't know how to say this without sounding emo unfortunately though. The last few years (gonna have to say 3 years) of my life have been very hectic and busy. I don't have much time for fun and overall I do not consider ffxi much fun anymore except for certain times. All these games do for me now is stress me out more than I already am because of real life problems. Alot of the times I kid around with you guys (ok mainly only one of you) and you get somewhat angry. I just want to let you guys know that what I say I really don't mean and I am truly sorry for letting some of my stress out on you, it's my problem to deal with and not yours. Sorry Ken and Inf.
/emo off
A few days into May I will finish April in review. Everyone take care until then.
