I’ve been on vacation from work this week, with no plans to go anywhere, so I’ve had some free time to get some things done in FFXI. Mostly get my lv 90 jobs to 95, and to camp Charybdis… It’s been YEARS since I camped an NM like this, altering my sleep schedule to get ToD and be awake for the window… Hopefully it pays off >.>
I am a self proclaimed sucker for a good story, and I found another line of quests that fit the bill: Saga of the Skyserpent. It gives a bit of a background story for each of the Serpent Generals. As well as gems like these:
and to explain the arrow and silence bubbles on Galadar:
The quests were worth the time spent on them! Quite the enjoyable story, definitely some good quality cut scenes.
I’ve been spending my off time from Abyssea events leveling and skill up various jobs. As of this writing I count 11 jobs at 75 and of those 11, 9 are at 95. I had decided that while previously thinking that Maat’s Cap was a silly thing to work towards, it was inevitable to end up with one. One of my long term FFXI goals was to level every job and experience as much story (AF quests, unlocking jobs) as possible.
Will I play most of the jobs on a regular basis? Probably not. I’ve got my few that I really like, but I like to help the group and if we need something I hope to fill in the holes.
Will I be skilled at all of them? Probably not as much as I should, but I won’t be a complete noob at them. I still do my research before leveling them, so I at least have *some* idea as to what I’m doing lol.
Some old friends have come back to Vana’diel! Kielee and Malechai are back! And not wasting any time!
They’ve been missed dearly! We’ve got our core back intact and hope to *finally* get around to finishing some missions and the such.
UPDATE:
Okay, waking up *WAY* too early for being on vacation has paid off… going to bed now… will finish later lol
/farewell
