Hey all! I'm back and in full force. Came back about a month ago, and lately all my time has been spent playing FFXI due to my work taking forever to start my job. -_- Working at Sony Online Entertainment as a Game Master (how appropriate huh?)  I've been neglecting my blog mostly because I'm probably going to forget a lot of stuff to put in here, and also my computer's graphics are complete shit. I haven't taken many SSs because of that but oh well.

When I came back, the last version update had just happened the day before and that's mostly the reason why I came back. COR AF2? DNC merits?! IM THERE BABY. So Ive been working my merits a lot recently, already finished DNC category and working on some things on my THF right now. Still its depressing, I'm at like 255/472 for merits. x.x Long way to go, and then plus I can never stop leveling jobs. Currently leveling WAR, but I think I've said that a few times on previous entries. I've been in love with WAR for a long time, and I seriously think that when I get it to 75 I'm going to be dedicating everything to it but I'm not gonna do that until I do, to see if I truely do love it at 75. I have it at 53 at the moment, and I could have it at 75 quickly, but the guilt of thinking I should be doing merits instead or farming gets in the way of that.

As you can see in the picture to the right, I'm at 3/6 COR af already :3 Posing with Nekura in our stylish Captain Crunch bodies (and that pic was taken by him, wish my graphics were that good ;;). I have done a Bastok and Jeuno but neither of them put out my hands or feet. Getting all this just makes me more and more want to put all my money into my Corsair's gear, and I have been wanting to do this for awhile but stuff keeps getting in the way, like my Marduk's Jubbah which took a whole month of farming and now another piece I have to get money for.
This thing is surprisingly taking me awhile to get the money for. x.x As well as the ingots have risen 50k since I got that. I got incredibly lucky with jubbah, getting a hagun drop from antlion ENM and getting 4 angel skins in a row from Kuftal it took a big chunk out of that 8-9 mil I needed. But nothings dropping for me for this, so its going kinda slow. And I just tabbed over to the game right now while writing this and just got told something about this subject....

Well, about two weeks ago now I had to cancel my FFXI account. At first, it was to try and salvage my relationship with my husband, but now its because I've left him and I don't have my own computer to play it on, nor the income to warrent spending 24 bucks a month on a game. I do miss it, and I'm constantly bugged by friends to come back but I've gotta get my life on track without a husband before I can come back full force. I've already got a job, just looking for a place of my own and then want to get settled for about a month before I even consider reactivating. I'm posting in my RL journal for now, thats been dead for over a year, but just thought it was more appropriate than posting about all that in my FFXI one. So feel free to head over to http://katsie87.livejournal.com if you care to read it. 

Well hello! Bet you guys thought I died, but I have just been way too lazy to actually update my LJ. For a bit, I didn't have anything to put in here but now it feels like I have so much new things the past month that I think I'm going to forget about alot of the things that happened (but I'm sure Frisk will remind me if I forget something).

I've been doing Salvage since the release and I've moved between quite a few different LSs over the time. But over all that time the only piece I could show for it was Marduk hands. Well I recently got 35 Skadi Visor a few weeks ago now, currently 1/3 for that but I'm in no real rush to finish that piece. Was trying to raise money to help gear out my COR well but lo and behold the next week we go to Zhayolm and floor 5 frog decides to be nice to me.


I really didn't expect to get a body as one of my first good pieces and I'm sorta in shock still that I'm going to be getting Jubbah. Well now I'm kinda going to money making overdrive, and SE has been nice to me where I farm. Been getting alot of drops and I'm already halfway to making the money for Jubbah. I tried PCC again duoing with Falisa + Kaylea and Frisk. 0/52 on that now... I have never seen it drop from anyone's orb. Also doing alot of ENMs and hoping those put out. I'm still 1/3 on the Salvage pieces so trying to get as much as I can before I'm 3/3. Sadly, my static for Ashu has stopped so no income from that anymore. It was alot of a nuisance anyways, making sure people could come and people were being half assed about it most of the time. I went about 0/7 on my zerehs before we quit.

Lets see whats next... Well the last update I believe I said I was leveling thf! I got that to 75 quite awhile ago now, before I even got the skadi head I believe. I really barely use it to be honest, mostly only if Frisk and I farm and we barely do that anymore together. Still trying to gear it out of course though! And its another thing on my merit list :x I added everything up today and I realized I still have almost 280 merits left on Fal to finish every category, not counting when they release DNC merits. Then I have alot to merit on Kaylea after that when she gets to 75. She got 73 a few weeks ago and I haven't really had the time to actually seek for pt on her. But oh well, shes at the level I need her to do stuff decently and she can wear errant :D

I've also got into a static of sorts with the most recent update of the ZNMs. I find it alot of fun fighting new NMs and clearing the paths to the higher tiers. We split off into two smaller groups for Tier 1 and 2, and then pair up to defeat tier 3 and eventually the higher tiers. Each of the groups have a person clearing access to Hydra, Khim and Cerb so eventually we'll have clearance to all of them 2x and then eventually Pandemonium 2x! I've gotten Enkidu subligar and Earth grip so far from the NMs (i'm aimming for enkidu cap and mittens as well :3)

Well I got Kaylea 60 RDM today and some sexy chapaeu. Thought it was time for a blog entry. I've been awake way too long to write anything else.

Well it's been quite some time since I've written an actual blog entry! I guess it's because I start looking through other people's blog, and see how well written they are and get a little self conscious, not wanting to write a blog because I don't want to make a fool of myself. But practice makes perfect, I'm sure I'll get a better at writing the more I do it. Just need to learn how to get long winded and talk more about myself! <.<

It's Valentines (well kinda...) and much has happened, so much that Falisa is lazy and as a joke I said I would write her latest blog entry not thinking that she would actually agree on it... Well as you can see that didnt go as planned.

So in the Valentine's spirit we did the event together an got ourselves some signed love clubs. Falisa didnt have a great deal of luck with it and kept on getting low scores for the matchmaking :P So it took a few tries before she got a high enough score to get her club.

Fali recently started up salvage with us and I managed to kill her while I was charmed as a frog! (that's what she gets for not kissing me an turning me back)


We've continued to do more Nyzul Assaults throughout the weeks, managed to get another drop but this time on a level20 Boss floor, it's too bad it was lost due to 'someone' not having enough room >.>


On top of her losing those boots she lost lots on an Astute Cape too, sucky week right? Well not so much, the next day we went back to Sea and BAM! another cape dropped, grats Falisa! The following day our LS popped x2 Jailer of Love and without knowing she managed to walk away with  a Novia Earring for her Bard (loot whore!) it's nice to see her get some new toys an she's been really happy about it as well :)

Her DNC also got some love in the last few days, we made her a merit party an she managed to hit 72. So now she can finally wear her purple gear that she's been waiting awhile to use, next step 75 slacker!


Other than all that, we've just been duoing some ENM's and such for monies which has been a lot of fun too.

Hay guyz! Its be blog entry tiem!

Life has been pretty bland on FFXI lately. :o Nothing really new or exciting the past few weeks but that doesn't mean I'm not having fun. Although Dancer is annoying me.. >.> Been considering taking a break from it because its been so hard getting parties and campaign is starting to get monotonous but theres someone I was kinda duoing with in the lower levels that wants to start up again this weekend so maybe I'll get a few levels by next week. :)

I've really been considering leveling DRK because I really want to level something that does damage and DRK may actually get some action with Pxtzle in the zerg fights. And I'd be fighting along Frisk! ;) *insert Pxtzle comment about Frisk's woman #43* I think I'll do DNC > THF > DRK and maybe keep DRK at 72 to try out that Ra/ex Kraken club. But yeah other than that, I've just been doing Ashu and finally did Nyzul a few days ago. :o Im also trying to save up some AP to start doing salvage regularly with Pxtzle people. Anyways, not much else to say so heres a Ashu action shot (can you guess who the picture is of?)

Hey all its my weekly update :o Can finally stop hearing the bitching from Kia and Frisk "update your blog!" but...they'll still say it tomorrow though i know it <_< Finally got stuff done this week...actually been quite busy!

Started doing campaign with Kiarax and Frisk alot and that turned into a static for...well...alot of things with them along with Demogorgan, Tangerine and Whytemike. We've been doing Ashu Talif BCNM everyday (which is incredibly easy), and Nyzul Isle alot, up to floor 45 now. I remember I was all worried about how I was going to be making decent money and starting up a nyzul static and I just happen to stumble into one without even really trying! It's been alot of fun, I'm really glad that I've been able to be a part of this even if that sounds cheesy :x Oh yeah and something I've been ecstatic about the past few days. Did Floor 40 for the first time with my group and..Denali drops! Mike and Kia both passed for me and I was like spamming thank you in the pt chat lol Still really happy that I got it but darn it I haven't been able to try it out on a HNM yet ; ;

Also been leveling DNC as much as I can as I've said before. Been pretty annoying though because it's hard to get parties.. Can have my flag up for a whole day and no invites and no one ever looking for party so I do lots of campaign. Slow but surely I guess >_> And I promised myself not to touch another job until I got DNC to 75.

Well I haven't shown my gear in awhile! I like doing these types of things to see how far I've come since my last time (and the last time I did this was a long time ago >_>) So anyways heres some shots of my gear!


Well thanks for looking. Please feel free to critique my gear because I could always use it. Show me the light if you think I'm doing something wrong etc. :)

edit: LOL happened right after i posted this entry
