Linkshells...

Now, I know if the members of Deosil find and read this they'd probably kill me, but meh.

To tell the truth, I tossed the linkshell. Intentionally. I couldn't stand how things were in the LS. I tossed it once before, but someone asked for my return. Tossed it for the second time now, and I'm never going back. I go out of my way to raise some people, and nobody gives a fuck when I die. It's not like I actually beg people to raise me, because it really don't matter, but when I do ask the least you could do is give a damn response.

I don't know exactly what happened a couple days ago, but from Xeo told me, I knew that shit was happening in the LS. Stuff about whining about people talking behind their backs and threatening to quit the game because of it. I'm glad I'm not in it anymore.

I tossed one LS, and I joined another, with good reason too. An old friend of mine is the leader of this Gods/HNM linkshell, so I joined it. I was given a chance to be a sack holder too. Hope this LS goes well, and that everyone gets something good out of it and stay happy.

Well, time to take a nap. The first sky farming event is in about 6 hours.

This is not worthy of a title

Might need a Raise III for this now. It's been what, 2 months since I last came on here?

So I got my results for 'O' levels, entered Nanyang Polytechnic blah blah...

Basically, back to school. Honestly, is there even anything to talk about?

Been on FFXI as usual for the past few months. The return of Xeo is probably the only reason I'm even playing the game anymore. I mean, I did make a couple of new friends since really getting back into the game. Slayerofdark and Athenor, just to name 2, but they're both no longer playing FFXI. Athenor quit apparantly of real life issues, and Slayerofdark, well, just disappeared one day.

After giving up on Blue Mage because I didn't have sea access, I waited for Xeo and some others in our "semi-static" to catch up with my 60 Red Mage, then started leveling that. Got it to 70 before saying argh fuck this. Besides, I didn't have good gear for it. No way in hell am I gonna buy a Penitent's Rope or Jet Seraweels for it.

So I put Red Mage aside and re-geared up Bard, probably the only job I really like.

As I type this, it starts raining, and I get a sudden memory loss. Ah, don't you just love forgetting what you had in mind just a SECOND ago...

Raise II?

Well well. Looks like I left this for dead once again.

Took up Japanese for 3 weeks now. I'm on the 4th, and I believe, the last for the basic course. No more long boring bus rides! Seriously, I fell alseep on the bus on the first day, and well, ended up somewhere else. Ahaha...

So days before Christmas last year, a whole bunch of friends came back to FFXI. And once that happened, naturally, I started playing more of it. Xeo came back after quitting for months or something, maybe a year. Made some new friends as well while leveling Blue Mage and Ninja.

It looks like I might have a chance to join an end-game LS for once, after nothing for 2 years. First Jakal asked me to apply in Anduril, but I read the reqirements and stuff and it said that bards needed at least CoP8-2 and above. I'm on 2-5, and completing 6 CoP chapters anytime soon is fucking impossible. Another one was introduced to me by Deathseeker. This one well, he gave me the site, but I couldn't access it... which brings me to right now. Bills didn't get through for the month, so I can't log in at all. I can't ask anyone anything.

Hmm... I just realized that the two people mentioned above are huge enemies in Ballista, so it seems.

The new "Salvage" thing was pretty fun. Kinda like Dynamis and Limbus, people say, but I don't know I've never done any of those. You are thrown into this area for like 100 minutes. They seal off all of everyone's job abilities, sub-jobs and magic, and also strip you of your equipment, lower your stats and HP/MP. So basically all you have at the start is to use H2H to attack... which makes Monks really useful in there. Of course, any other job with H2H skills work, like THF for example. Oh, and healing items like Hi-Potions are absolutely vital.

As you fight through the area, some of the mobs drop items which unseal a given part, like say, one unlocks the usage of magic, and another unlocks body equipment, stuff like that. Some mobs also drop the items needed for the new awesome Salvage gear. I don't know much after that, cause we didn't make it far with only 6 of us. We got booted in the area where the Flans were.

I've been leveling Puppetmaster as well. It's kinda fun, cause it's one job where I didn't need to rest once up till the 10s. Just fight, and automaton cures when on how HP, then activate Dark Maneuver so that MP is refreshed. Well that's how it goes for the most part. I do use Stoneskin and Flash and other maneuvers like that.

Well anyway, I need my content ID reactivated...

Before I die, heh.
