Quick Updates

So I haven’t really posted in a week, but I should have an update ready soon

In the past week I have

1) Beaten Dynamis – Beaucedine
2) Another Proto-Ultima win
3) Beaten Dynamis – Xarcabard (including Dynamis Lord)
4) Finished my Dark Knight to 37 (for mnk/drk on above mentioned Dynamis Lord)
5) Leveled my Samauri to 15
6) Leveled my Dancer to 24

It has been a busy week.

There was also the virus scare that really hit home for a lot of FFXI Players. I know the thought of losing both of my characters was horrible, but at least there was no way to migrate them to another server (still in 90-day cooldown from last migration).

Wings of the Goddess – Now With Pictures! Part 2

Woooo! My exciting trip to Windy. First sight of the city. Unlike the other two cities, this entrance is in the same place in the present as the past.

Opening CS that somewhat mirrors the new player CS for this zone.

For the Federation! War Warlocks off to battle evil Yagudo.

Ugh, I’ve met her daughter, she tortured me in the Thief AF quests and for Yagudo Necklaces for my Ninja spells. I don’t like where this is going….

Ack! The cooking guild burned down. Someone forgot to turn off their oven I bet.

I liked this picture.

New monster : Toad. And yes, they do link.

After joining up with Windy, I tried out my first Campaign battle. The first encounter did not go well, hit for 1100 right off the bat, then killed right after I was raised.

Eventually I was able to just engage the monster and fight a little. It was interesting, and I can see this being fun.

After Campaign, I decided to try to level my now 24 Dark Knight up a level or two.

I saw this, someone bazaaring a Soul Plate for Absolute Virtue. Haha…. yeah I won’t pay 2 mil for that.

While seeking in Qufim, someone asked me where to buy an Empress Band. Really? You don’t have one by level 20.

And finally, proving that all good mithra names end in the letter ‘a’.

Nmira is a Dancer, which is definitly my next job now. I ended this party at about 4:30 am having gone from about 3K to level 25 to 2K to level 29 (or level 24 – 28 if you wish) in a single party. I almost left after I hit 27, but stayed the extra hour and a half for the level and a half. The party leader dinged 30 dancer and a ranger dinged 29 on our last monster. The party had 2 dancers, 1 scholar, 2 rangers, and me as Dark Knight. Also, there was a 75 pink mage and 75 white mage for power leveling.

Until later

Wings of the Goddess – Now With Pictures!

As promised, here are some pictures. This post ended up being too large (26 pictures) so I’m going to spread it across several postings

We start by traveling back in time.

Whoaaaaoooaaahhh

And that’s just the first Cut Scene.

After hitting the past, I went to work on becoming a Dancer and working my way to Past Sandy.

Here I am as a level 6 Dancer with my friend Golgothan.

The next day, I worked my way to Past Bastok, or Pastok.

Found these guys in Pashow. They were getting ready for a Campaign battle.

pastok1.png

Since they were still glitched and may have attacked me, I left them alone.

Still wandering through Pashow, I found some new monsters, and some old ones. This is some new dragon type monster called a Peiste, and an old friend in the background, Ruby Quadav, who only checks as Decent Challange

pastok2.png

Here I am just after zoning into one of the new zones, Grauberg, which connects North Gustaberg and Pashow in the past.

pastok3.png

I try soloing my Dark Knight up a little bit. As a 21 DRK, most monsters were on the bottom level of Easy Prey, so exp was fairly slow, even with an exp ring.

This is just a nice shot, complete with the comet.

And of course, what would a trip to Pastok be without creative Galkan names.

pastok5.png

Yeah….

After leveling my Dark Knight up to 24, the party broke and I went to help the AF team farm some sea organs for gorgets.

Rawr.

12 more pictures coming in the next 24-48 hours depending on when I get time, maybe more if Limbus and/or Dynamis go well this week.

Cheers!
