Mmmwhatcha say

Yeah random title since I couldn't think of something else interesting to put there. I've been on downloading craze lately trying get all sorts of music. Makes for more fun times when im playing so I dont lose my sanity. Especially like last night where we spent 6 hours farming Dio for Ulli. If wasn't for music, youtube, my boyfriend, and LS mates on vent I think I'd go gone crazy after hour 3.

So far I've got LAOS, Jimmy Eat World, Blind Melon, and The Fray. Makes for some decent music to listen to while playing the game. Before I moved I had this huge itunes library of like over 5000+ songs. And a playlist for basically when I played the game. Then I lost everything in the move -.-;. So now im back to re-building the list. But instead getting all the same stuff, I've been trying explore new music. And learn some new bands. Basically want something new and good listen to. Also really getting into William Fitzsimmons. Some of his stuff kind of sad, but most of it makes me really relaxed and happy.

Anyways onto game stuff. Not much has happen other than I dinged 73 on NIN. Not had much time to really lvl it due to being so busy with endgame stuff. Finally getting into camping HNMs some and im pretty excitied bout that. So far I've done Dark Ixion, Nidhogg, and Fafnir. And im digging it already! I'm trying to get my RDM ready for endgame stuff. And working on trying to finish meriting it. But I can't seem to make myself stay in merit parties long before I lose my mind over the boredom. I swear I have ADD when comes to that kind of stuff. I can focus on almost anything else, but if its boring and repeatitive, and I don't have something or someone to entertain me, I lose interest. I keep getting into merit parties only to want to leave like an hour later because im not entertained enough XD. Its bad when I can stay entertained if I got a good LS convo going, or when I can end up main healing, enfeebling, AND pulling in that party on RDM. >.> <.<. Hey it keeps me in party and myself entertained. And im not a half bad puller. Infact already been told I should start lvling BRD lol since I act like one in that sense.

Which of course is one the next jobs I want to try after I finish NIN and WHM. I've been intrigued by BRD for awhile. Well that and/or a DD job. I'm wanting to finally lvl my first DD job as well since everything I've lvled so far as been main healer or tank. Nothing really hardcore DDish. So I guess I'll decide when I get closer to finishing WHM. Or knowing me, just duo between BRD and another job. Thinking either SAM or DRK. Both look fun and interesting to me.

Doing Dyna-Xarca tonight so im hoping SE gods are kind and let the drops rain. I really want RDM and PLD, which im on list for RDM. Think im like #4 on that one. And PLD I'd just have to hope multiple drop for that XD. And some NIN be nice too. Maybe if I give alot cookies and prayers it'll rain relic tonight! I can hope right? Tho knowing my luck I'll do all that hoping, and go in and get like x50 bst and pup. I love my endgame/dynamis LS tho. Their the first LS I have ever got relic in. Already almost finished with RDM, and my WHM will ding into almost complete relic lol. And kind of funny that since they've been doing it so long and most people are 5/5 that I usually joke and say that they have the best dressed mannies of FFXI. My luck in picking the 2 jobs tho that have the lowest drop rate of them all XD.

Anyways must head out to nom. Just wanting to update.

Senjuinrikio = Mine!

Well after 15 tries, I finally got my Senjuinrikio to drop. I was so excitied about it finally dropping that I couldn't stop squealing. And then sad part was after 15 tries and it not dropping, it finally starts raining them >.>. I think someone in SE was laughing at me then lol.

Finally dinged 73 on NIN so im pretty happy. Im getting much closer to 75 and its driving me insane to be so close to it. Also been working on building up the ISP for Perdu, but im starting to realize its going to me awhile to get that one. I didn't think about how long its going to take to get that much ISP. But it'll be well worth it when I do finally get it. And im 10k into my goal so far. I figure I'll get NIN to 75, and then merit on RDM and that'll help. That or just get to work on lvling WHM since its at 54. Haven't quite decided yet, since I really need to finish meriting RDM and PLD and of course NIN. My only questions are what all im going to merit on NIN. I guess I'll figure out when I ding 75 and read up on it.

Kind of sad tho to hear that one of my good friends is quitting the game. I understand that people get bored with it after awhile, its just sad to see someone so nice and sweet go. I'll miss you so much Purptigerlilly. Im glad that I have her added on FB so that really its not so much of a goodbye. But I will miss her on the game.

Time to go though, rl work calls!

I needs mah Senji

So I've been leveling NIN like crazy lately trying to hit 75. Got it to 71 right now, and I'm going insane its so close to 75 I can taste it. I've also been trying to pre-plan and get the gear I want for it for when I ding to 75. So far I've been working on getting Senji and earning the isp for Perdu Blade. And saving the gil up for the other things I'd need to buy off the AH. I've got a popset for Byakko so im hoping the kitty will be kind and drop me a nice pair of pants. This job has become like my new love, and I can't understand why other than I just really enjoy it. And it's been so fun to play, especially like in campaign. And I can't wait to start using it for other things, like helping my friends with NMs. I've even thought of getting the Relic Katana, especially after a friend told me today he wouldn't mind sponsoring me for it. Which of course made me go O.O.

Anyways yeah getting Senji to drop in ODS is a bitch. I did a total of 9 runs today and got every weapon to drop but that. But im discovering that ODS is even easier than RJ. I went with the mage method, and we were killing and finishing it in under 2 mins. First set of runs we did 2 rdm, 4 blm, and the kills were amazingly fast. And last 2 runs we did just 2 blm and 1 rdm and was still easy. From what I read its even soloable, tho im not sure I quite have the skill for that yet. And I'd be afraid to die and lose all those hard earned seals lol. Especially since sadly for me, they seem to come so rarely. I envy those who tell me their sitting on 1k worth of seals in their MH. Short of lvling BST I just don't see that happening for me.

And as of right now waiting on Dynamis-Xarcabard to get started. I'm hoping the SE gods will be kind, and drop like x4 RDM hat since im 4th on that list, and x3 PLD body. That'd make me one happy mithra indeed. And finally put me 5/5 on RDM. Here's keeping my fingers crossed!

Dance Dance Dance

So lately I've been leveling DNC for my NIN. Well not only for NIN, but for PLD as well when I want to go into campaign. And I dunno if its just me being weird, but I just haven't found much love for the job. I mean it's interesting job, and I like the fact that it can keep itself alive by merely its TP, but at the same time I haven't well...felt it liked grabbed my attention and kept me intrigued. Then again NIN started out that way for me too at first. It wasn't really that awesome til I hit 40 and got all the nifty job abilities and was really able to handle my own. And now that I can start subbing /dnc, its really becoming one my favorite jobs. My dancer is only 30 tho so I can't properly sub it with my NIN being 70, but it was still fun to test it out in campaign. For once I don't have to rely on npcs to cure me.

I know your probably thinking im strange. I love NIN/DNC, but I don't get into DNC/NIN. I know one my friend's already thinks im weird for it. In her opinion their both almost the same. But I dunno I don't see it quite that way. In a party im not the tank as DNC. I'm the somewhat dd, somewhat healer, and well somewhat enfeebler. As someone said in a ffxiah.com post I read, DNC is average in all those departments. They'll never be the best, but their average in each area. Which is how I see it. Maybe it'll get better tho if I decide to take it past 37. But right now I have alot on my plate trying to merit RDM and PLD, finish NIN, get to work on WHM, and then you add in the endgame I've been in, and helping to run a large social LS, and it seems like im always on the go and never with enough time to lvl a job for fun lol.

Thats really all I have to update on as I havent done much other than trying to lvl DNC, and with the craziness that comes with holidays I havent had much time to post or do anything. Which Santa was good to me this year! I got clothes, candy, perfume, video games, and well I guess you can say a shared PS3. Its almost sad that my own Mom got a ps3 before me. But then again shes just as much of a gamer as myself lol, and actually has played more FF games than me. And its currently playing God of War. Anyways time for me to go. I need to get back to lvling DNC and finally finish it up. I've been duoing with a friend of mine who just got back into the game, and im glad because I've really missed him. It was a funny story in that when I was first lvling RDM around in the jungle, I met him there. And he was lvl 70+ RDM. And he helped to guide me and explain the job, and PLed me. And we use to hang out alot. Well then he took a break from the game. And later came back for a bit while I was lvling PLD. And then he was gone again. But now hes back for good, and was shocked to hear that I now have 75 PLD, and working on NIN and WHM 75, he said I was growing fast lol. And now im the one teaching him things about RDM. And I took him to my dyna group to help get his Dynamis Sandy win. So this week has been pretty good for me, considering I got to see an old friend. And been duoing and catching back up on all that missed time. Welcome Back Sojobo! And your not allowed to leave ever again.
