Merry Christmas!~

Well, my favorite time of the year is close and I've been so excited and happy. ^^ I just fucking love Christmas.

Anyways, I've been having some decent luck with FFXI lately. I got lucky and my LS helped me finally finish ToAU. That last fight was a bitch but was so fun. I forgot to take Pictures cause I was too busy spam curing Lec. I swear that guy just ate my Mp like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet. I got a Crown proving that I'm Naja's Bitch <_<; Not sure if that's a good or bad thing really.



I bought a Vile Elixir, Vile Elixir +1, Hi-Elixir, and a crap load of Hq food for Mp. I used it all in that fight. Was worth it though. Because of that I'm not 3/3 on Expansions.(Don't count Wings as an expansion till the last mission is out) I got myself a decent Ring that I don't plan on using a lot but it's still nice to have.



Since I got that done I was finally able to become a Captain for my Assault rank. That means no more paying for Runic Portals and I get 5 Assault tags now(4 if I don't carry one on me at all times)

I'm rather happy that's done.

I just did the Christmas event tonight. I got a Dream Robe +1, Dream Boots +1 San d'Oria Stables teleport scarf, Bastok, and Windurst Scarfs aswell, And all the Costume Belts.

The Dream Boots +1 aren't that too either, it's the new item they added for this event.



Heres Myrrh in her Christmas outfit. I realize I'm missing the Dream Hat but I think the Crown looks cute on her.



Recently, I've been doing Campaign on Smn. Since they fixed it so Smn actually gets Exp. It's really fun to do. The exp and Allied Notes(the currency the used in the past) are well worth it. I plan on capping Exp on Smn and Whm through Campaign. Hopefully I can do merits aswell since I hate Pting with people.

I've also been debating whether or not I should lvl Sch again. It's at 21 right now. If the job was actually fun to play I'd take it to 75 but really, it isn't. It's like a gimp Rdm. I don't have Refresh or Convert but the Grimoire things are fun and rather interesting. I'll most likely lvl again once SE fixes it. IE, give it a few new spells, and so on.

Aside from that stuff I've been preparing for Christmas at home. I set up my tree and put up decorations everywhere. I'm even wearing my Santa hat as I write this. I just fucking love this holiday ^^

Till next time my loyal reader~

Where has the time gone?

I know it's been forever since I updated this and that was because I was in the hospital for a month. Since it's not FFXI related I won't bother telling you about it.


Since I've been back I dove into the expansion just like everyone else. The first thing I did was get all the Maws so I can have access to all the needed zones and not be gimp and make people wait on me during a future event.

Getting all 9 of the Maws took me about 7 or so hours. Was a long and annoying process but it will be worth it in the end. The Maws are much like Runic Portals. In order to use them I need to get them from the past and then you can use them anytime you need to.

After I got the Maws I decided to unlock Scholar. I read online that I have to do some stupid quest that involves Vellum or something. Rather then doing said stupid quest I just bought the needed items off AH for 35k. Saved me a lot of travel time.

So, after that was unlocked I went to lvl it. I'll tell you now. At level 1 Scholar fucking sucked. The only spell I had was from my SJ. I didn't actually get a spell of my own till lvl 4. So, lvling took me a long time. It took me a good 2 days to get to lvl 10. After I hit 10, I have to say, the Art system was kind of cool.

Dark Arts makes it so all my Dark Magic, Enfeeb, and some other Blm type skills go up to B rank, which is nice for nuking. On top of that Spell cost is - 10%, and I think it gives a bit of Fast cast. Not sure about that yet.

When Dark Arts is active I get to use these JAs called Strategems(Who ever named it that needs to die, such a fucked up name). At lvl 10 I get one called Parsimony. It halves the cost of my next spell. It sucks it's only for one spell but it can help. Like I can make Fire cost something like 12 Mp. At later Lvls this will actually be really handy. I'm lvl 21 right now so I don't have access to many spells or the other JAs. I can't really comment on them yet.

Now that I've explained Dark Arts, let's do Light Arts.

Light Arts have basically the same effect. With the same JAs but they work for White magic type stuff. Healing Skill, Divine Skill, Enhancing, and so on.

Lvling through the dunes hasn't been the best thing. I've been forced to solo through must of it. Now on a job that has a very shitty spell list that wasn't exactly easy. When I did get a Pt it wouldn't last long and I'd be left either lower then when it started or 1k from my level. So, it took me about 4-5 days to get from 10 to 20. I wasn't happy with that.

My friend Lenneth pretty much solo'd his way through the dunes but at a much after pace because he was a Dancer. Who are as of right now, fucking broken and strong. This kid could solo VTs and still have full hp and Tp.

I hate him a lot.

So, after my shitty few days of Lvling, I finally hit level 20. I was glad to move to Qufim at that point.

So far, I've only had one pt and that got me from lvl 20 to 21. They were a good group of people and I had fun. After that Party was over I left and geared up Smn to try and see if I can solo a KSNM.

I almost died, I got it to 40% and ran out of Mp, I tried to Carby stall till I got Mp back but my Hate was too much for Carby to get off me. I died. But now I know I just need to bring some Mp meds, a Mp drink or two and I can solo it. I'm rather pleased I even got it down that much. I expected myself to die at about 80%.

So after that failed I decided to help my friend get the spell called Flood. It drops from Quadav in some bastard place to get to. I've been here for a few hours now and still no drop. Since I don't really have much to do right now I don't mind.

After this drops I'll send it to him and prolly try to lvl Scholar some more. Either that or try my hand at that KSNM again.

Well, that's all I've done for now. I'll update again in about a week when I'm sure I'll have more done.

Till then, later my readers~

The beginning.

Well, I was reading over some of my entries and realized I never told you about my first journeys as a FFXI player. Todays post will talk about that.



It all started when I was at school. My friends had bought and played this game and were always talking about it. Me being pissed off at not knowing what the fuck they meant had enough and bought the game. I would have started playing there but first I needed a CC. Which as it turns out isn't easy. I believe it took me about 5-6 months to finally get a CC and play.

So one day during school, my friends and I decide to skip and go set me up in the world of Vana'deil.(Did I spell that right?) For months I had planned on being a Tarutaru from Windurst and my name was going to be Psychomouse. Sadly, the name was taken. So Marajade, Lenneth, and myself sat around for about 20 mins contemplating new names for a char.

Finally Marajade suggested I pick a name from my Fire Emblem game. Me being a huge fan of the game at the time thought it was a great idea. So after going through a list of the names in my head I landed on a small dragon girl named Myrrh. Since we couldn't name a Tarutaru after a kick ass dragon girl we decided to make me a Mithra. After that we input the world pass.(Back in the day SE had these codes in order to pick a server. Unlike today where you can pick anything you want.)

Myrrh the Mithra from Windurst was born.

During my 5-6 month wait I had gone over what job I wanted. I had picked Whitemage. I liked being Whm. The idea of healing someone and not hurting was a good idea to me. I was a pacifist when I joined. I hated doing things harm and I was happy being a Whm.

For my first journey in FFXI Marajade was playing as Myrrh to show me how the world works. He showed me the Auction House, Mog House, and Various other goodies in the nation of Windurst. After I got bored of seeing him walk around town I told him to show me how to get Exp. We went out though Windurst Woods and fought a few monsters. I was in Aw with how cool this was looking.

Marajade was doing a pretty decent job soloing me some exp at the start. But after he fought a tough Bee he didn't want to rest to get my Hp/Mp back to full. He ran in head first and fought a Mandy. It was going well till the Mandy used a Regen move and any dmg Mara did was pretty much worthless.

Myrrh died.

I wasn't too pleased to have died within the first 30 mins of joining FFXI. After he died I decided to call it a day for Myrrh and go home and test it out.

When I got home my good friend Lenneth told me he'd help me out with some starter gil. That was pretty cool of him. When he met me in Windurst and he was in this red version of the lvl 1 Mithra RSE gear. I was thinking that's pretty cool. So he traded me 2,500 gil. I was thinking I was rich considering how much low lvl gear that could buy me. He also traded me a Linkshell pearl to a Linkshell called "LegionOfOne"

My very first LS. It was full of kind, funny people. Some of the names I can remember are...

Meanie, Ketsurui, Milgard, Hillzpac(Our leader), Mitsuhide, Realina, Bloodscream, Pryman, and so many others who quit and I forgot their names >_<

After Lenneth set me up I headed out on my own. After soloing a while I met my first ingame friend. His name was Thorny. He was a very nice guy and we duo'd exp for a bit in Giddeus. We were duoing for a while when a nice high lvl came along and PL'd us while we fought a Yagudo NM. It dropped a crappy low lvl shield that I won the lot on.

I kept it till I hit 75. That shield was from my very first NM.

So, after we fought the NM the nice high lvl player asked if we wanted to see Bastok. We both said sure and he escorted us. Along the way we had some aggro and the high lvl was handling it. At this time I didn't know what macros were and the high lvl was using them when we aggro'd.

Every battle I'd see "Para , Now!". I assumed he was talking to me and I cast Para on a few mobs, I got hate and died. He asked me why I did that and I told him. We had a good laugh while we waited for a Raise to come and get me.

We got to Bastok and my very first thought was "That's it?!" After we got there the high lvl person had to leave. Me being unimpressed and really tired logged for the night.

Fast forward to lvl 50.

I was in need of my G1 items. I had gotten the coal from a kind person soloing in the Basement of Citadel. I only needed two more and I could lvl to 55. I don't remember how I got my Crawlers Nest item exactly. With two down I only needed a Paper. It had a low drop rate off Skeletons in a place that to this day I still can't spell. A good friend from LegionOfOne had put aside a few hours to help me get it.

We get there, he kills one Skeleton and it drops. I was laughing so hard. Everyone I talked to said the paper was the hardest to get and it took them hours/days.

With G1 done, I could work on my AF gear for Whm.

The first few parts were pretty easy. I remember the only 2 I had issues with were the Body and Hat.

Two very good friends of mine helped me get everything I needed for the body. First we needed to get a bell off Shadows in the same place that drops papers for g1. I remember this took me about a week to get. Teppo and Nibble just wouldn't quit till I got it. After we had that done we had to fight one of the hardest AF NMs in the game. Teppo and Nibble had gotten a Japanese friend to help them fight the NM for me. The whole walk there he was talking about how he wanted my Mithra fun hole and it was very weird.

Well, they kicked the NMs ass. Some of his moves nearly killed us but I was on the ball with my all my cures.

With that done I could focus on getting my AF hat. I hated this AF quest so much. Since I was low lvl I had to have Sneak/Invis up everywhere. I had spent a good few weeks trying to get my Coffer key for this item. First my friends helped me. Then I had to hire Jps to get it for me when no one wanted to go back there. It was a bitch. But finally after weeks and about 500k later I had gotten my key..... Now all I needed to do was open the chest. Crap.

Finding it was just about as hard as getting the key. I knew very little of the place and travel was restricted due to the doors that needed 4 people to open them. After a while I had finally got my AF hat which at the time was pretty decent compared to anything else I could use. I was happy. I had finally finished the set and I looked liked a real Whm. I was very happy.

After that it was just basic lvling till I needed my Noble's Tunic. Once I hit lvl 67 I stopped all lvling. I did not want to continue and be gimped. I had spent a few weeks Tele whoring around Lower Jeuno. I got lucky a few times and got 50k for a tele and then one person was quiting, when he heard that I was trying to save up he gave me 1m for a teleport. I was shocked to say the least. After some time I had finally saved the 8million gil I needed for a Noble's Tunic. I was jumping for joy to have one of the best pieces of gear a Whm could ever use.

When that was done I took my sweet time lvling to 75 since I wasn't in a hurry for anything. I had joined a few new LS once LegionOfOne died out. It just wasn't the same. With Legion I could swear, make gay jokes, and so much more. I was new to these ls with "Rules" I was told to tune it down a lot. But I still had fun. I couldn't be my vulgar self. :(

After Whm was lvled and 2 years had past I decided to take Smn to 75. It went alot easier then Whm. If I ever needed something I could solo it on Whm(cept Avatars), I hated to rely on other people and preferred to solo. That way if I had fucked up I could call myself a dipshit but still expect me to help myself later on.

That's my update. I figured since no one knew how I started it would be a good change. I would have posted my current FFXI status but I haven't really done anything. I've been doing Dynamis as normal, Assault as normal, and pretty much just staring at my MH wall.

Till next time my loyal reader(s)

Summoner > You

That's right, Summoner is better then you. Just give in and accept it.

I say this of course because of the awesome stuff I've been doing as Smn lately.

Let's see, what stuff can I remember.

Well, the last 3 days Two Summoner friends and myself have been doing Ugg Pendent. For those that don't know it's a fairly decent Neck piece.



Not a bad piece if you ask me.

Anyways so in order to get this Neck Piece you need to fight a NM that spams a spell called "Death" I don't need to tell you what it can do. So my two friends and I cheat while doing this NM. We spam our Carbuncles and let them get his with Death and various other mean high tier spells. We do this till it runs out of Mp and he gives up since he can't melee. After that we melee him for about 30-4o mins because Smns have zero fucking meleeing skills. My friends and I are 3/3 on this pendent and we plan on farming the hell out of this.

It's easy gil for a few hours work. And hell, I love doing shit as Smn. Honestly, this job is just cheating. I can summon infinite amounts of a blue rat till the mob dies. I don't know I didn't level this job first.

No...wait, I know why. It's because Whm is fucking awesome.

Anyways...

Besides that I've been camping some HNMs like a Mofo. I've done about 4 HNMs a day with my friends. I feel like a RMT. It's kinda funny but it's fun. I've even claimed a few of them with Dia which itself is fucking awesome.

I've also been after a nice lowbie ring for Rdm. It's better then an Astral Ring and it won't cost me a dime. After I get one for myself I'm going to try and get Levica to come and camp one with me for her Smn.



Not a bad lowbie ring if you ask me. Considering what other options I have at that lvl this is pretty damn awesome.

Hmmm. Let's see what else I've been up to.

I did a KSNM 30 with a few random people and made about 400k for 30 mins of work total. That wasn't so bad.

I've been trying to save up so I can buy a Vcloak and a Errant cape. They aren't really needed but if I can get them it's 2 things I'll need to worry about them in the future. Currently I'm very far off my goal. I still need about 3 million gil. By the way things are going it's going to take a very long time. -.-

I have some plans in the future to solo a few HNMs. One drops a item called Joyeuse and the other drops Enhancing sword. I want both for Rdm. I plan on being a pimp fucking Rdm when I hit 75.

Oh Ya I've also decided to take some time off from all endgame stuff. Just till I get my life sorted out. lately RL has been hectic and I need some time to myself. It's not FF related so I won't bore you with that.

I did the MH expansion quest and can now hold up to 70 items in MH. That gives me about 220 Inv spaces in my MH.

That's all for now.

~Myrrh

Slacker wacker.

Shut about the title, I'm not good at naming things <_<


Well, I'm sure you've been wondering where I've been. Honestly, I've been doing the same ol' stuff.


Let's see...

Well, I just got {First Lieutenant} in Assault. Doesn't really help me much but assault is fun and I can't wait to try these new ones out.

Been doing a lot of Limbus lately. Recently I just got two sexy items.



and



Been exping on Smn some more too....





(Note, that's not me soloing a lvl back or anything. I solo'd about 30k exp in lvl 74 so I earned my 75)

Hmmm. What else...

Well, I recently made a great friend. Her name is Levica. She's so awesome ^_^ She keeps sending me weird and random /tells at the oddest times.





Levica and I have been trying to lvl Smn and Rdm together but we keep getting distracted and before we know it 4 hours have gone by and we did zero lvling. <_< Not complaining though, I'm having a blast with Levica.

Oh yeah, something cool happened the other day. Levica and I were taking the boat to Windurst and a NM spawned on us. His name is Silverhook. He's a lvl 70+ Skele that can rape most people. When I saw him spawn I almost shit my pants. I thought I was dead but then I remembered I was on Smn and I had my ass kicking shoes on.

I summoned Titan and attacked with all my might. I was trying my hardest to kill it. Titan gave some good blows and Silverhook killed TItan a few times. But the bastard forgot who he was dealing with and I kicked his bitch ass.

The fight was just non stop insane Dmg. Titan would do stuff like this...



And Silverhook would be spaming Teir III Ga spells on Titan.

Just when I think I'm going to die this happens.



Wtf...No god damn drop. For a fight so fucking epic I didn't get a drop. Just fuck you, Silverhook. Fuck you and your pirate ass to hell.

Well, that's all for now. Till next time my readers.

~Myrrh

Loot whore strikes again!

Well, the last few days have been pretty sweet for gear. I recently did a KSNM with some Smns and got a Morgenstern. It's a great club for Whm.



I also got a staff from that KSNM that has a bastard ass name. I guess it's good but I don't plan on using it unless I'm skilling up staff as Whm.



Another drop from the KSNM was some real shitty SMN JSE. I don't know wtf SE was thinking when they added this but it's more gear I never have to worry about getting sometime in the future.



The next day I had been in a pt with a friend in Kuftal tunnel. While we were exping a NM spawned. Pelican is his name and he drops a decent Mp shield.



Right after that Pt I was walking around as Smn with Carbuncle out and I was upset about how I don't gain any mp while he's out. So I decided to camp the Brown belt NMs. Since I already had the vine from the KSNM I was 1/3 done. I was camping Nue for one night and got his drop with no problem. Deadly Dodo on the other hand was being a bastard. I ended up spending a day and a half on him and went like 1/13 on it. <_<;

So i got my belt and sold it. I then bought an Apollo's Staff. With it I'll regain mp.



And today I cashed in my kinda sorta but not really hard earned Limbus points for 75 coins which got me......


this!

YAY me. I'm pretty much done my gear for whm. I think I need maybe one or two more pieces. Smn I still need a lot though <_<

Till next time~

Thinking hurts.

This update will be alittle different. As most of you know I was involved with a fuck load of drama lately.

Now first let me start off by saying I'm not a bad person. I'm a mean vindictive person but I'm not a bad person.

Anyway, so after this event I was a little pissed....okay I was REALLY pissed off. But I mean who wouldn't be. I just had a some of my friends and some ls members screw me over. I was pissed. I don't like being screwed over.

So, in my rage I ended up blaming the ls as a whole for the event and not just the ones who screwed me over. I had a lot of friends in that ls and some of them took offense to that. I didn't mean anything by it. But generally the ls leaders mean the ls as a whole. It's like if a member was all for cheating then it's just the member. But if it's a leader then the whole shell takes the hit.

I've given the event some time and I've cooled off a bit now. The other day I found out that the ls leaders tried to turn me against the ls. Slandering my name and making me look like the bad. Like I had some super plan to smash the ls into the ground. You know, cause I planed being sick, posting a thread while I was sick, then I lotted low on the YYR to make Soulstar feel guilty and ask the leaders about lotting, then making the thread on qcdn because I hated the ls and wanted them to go to pieces. Yes, that was my master plan.

Now this is what pisses me off, I'll admit I freaked out on qcdn but who wouldn't? What I thought were my friends hated me and admitted to wanting to screw me over. Not the ls as a whole but the main leaders.

So I read what's being said about me and I'm worried about the other members of this ls. If the leaders are willing to slander a member that fast then why stay in the ls? They keep going on about how I'm the bad guy for not forgiving them after 1 day and how I kept bashing the ls as whole. If they are willing to do that to a member who helped out so much then who knows how safe the other members are. And to say I can't be trusted because I swear and boast about new gear is just retarded. Just because I disagree with Alianne on some stuff and I can't be Pg13 I got screwed over.

Zer, remember when people took offense to my jokes about how women aren't people? You asked me to stop and I did. Well maybe if someone told me about my swearing I would have toned down. I didn't see anything wrong with it since a lot of people had fun.

I'm fine with them staying in the ls and being loyal to their leaders. Go you. But of people actually cared to find out about what happened instead of just following the leaders like sheep dogs this could have been settled fast and they wouldn't be bashing me on the ls site. Look at how fast they tried to slander me on qcdn by posting my SECRET ls rant.

I'm not saying I'm the good guy, I didn't help any by being so angry but I was and I can't take what I said back not that I really want to. I am still upset at the leaders for what they did but not the ls as a whole.

So, in the off chance that someone from the ls reads this I want to say I'm sorry for bashing the people who had no involvement in the event. I'm not sorry for being upset though at how fast you're all willing to be sheep dogs. Take 20 mins out of your day and read the thread. I had every right to be upset. Maybe if some of you could understand that we could do more events and stuff together.

Zer/Xean, I'm sorry you didn't give me a chance to fix this. You guys tried to bury it so fast you fucked up and ruined the rep of your ls. I hate having enemies and I hold no grudges to those that had no involvement. I wish you luck with the ls and hope that you don't get slandered like I did.

Goodbye TBH and good luck, I hope that one day you'll want to fix this. I know it's been a while and no one seems to give a shit anymore but this was bothering me and instead of posting in my thread I wrote this.
