That makes some sense…

That’s right folks, DRK90!

Got into a really good Abby – Ule party on some Bluffero and took it to cap. Now I just need to work on getting the weapon skills leveled up to cap. That may be the hardest part, but I’m sure it will be worthwhile!

In that same party I managed to break the latent effect on the trial scythe for Spiral Hell, which has turned out to be an interesting quest. It involved an NPC that, lets face it, other than questing Drain or a very brief CS in the DRG story you don’t pay much attention to him on the way to the Bostaunieux Oubliette GoV book burns.

In the quest he explains the origin of the Shadow enemies and explains as to why they’re all Elvaan.

After those CS, I kinda sat back and was blown away. Never thought that this quest would amount to anything other than a weapon skill I wouldn’t use more than to get blue !! trigger.

His explanation, other than him claiming to have been there, makes a lot of sense as to why they’re all Elvaan, also why you only really see them in areas around San d’Oria or related to the Kingdom. Though it makes me wonder why they’re classified as Undead. Ah well, that’s speculation for another day.

Also been busy helping a friend out lately. Eyvind is a relatively new player to FFXI, introduced to it by my friend Terren. He’s been hanging out in our linkshell (to which our slogan is that “We Build A Better Noob!”). To meet someone who has such zeal and interest in everything this game has to offer is quite refreshing. Us old salty dogs sometimes forget what it’s like to do something new for the first time.

A few nights back we did the 5-1 Windurst fight in the Qu’Bai Arena, with much victory! Granted, without the level cap on the battle it’s a lot easier, but still just as fun!

Archmage Assassins!

We also, a few nights later, beat up some Shadow Lord but I forgot to get FRAPS running to take a picture. Ah well, there’s always other city missions to do!
