Quickie FFXI update
Feb. 7th, 2006 09:28 pmTired, tired.
Monday night: Went to Eco and Escort as RDM. Was strange. Not as much fun as melee, though I did enjoy burning things with fire. FIRE. FIRE! Woo woo!
Got an invite to a manaburn party, and was sorry to turn it down. I would have liked to have seen how it went, but I wanted the "free" XP from Eco/Escort for DRK. (I thought manaburns only worked in the later levels? Would it work in the 60-63 range?) I've not done the solo ENM BC for free DRK XP in weeks, so I really don't want to lose the Eco/Escort XP for it.
Tonight: A "mostly LS and friends" XP party. Ead MNK, Theonion SMN, Des NIN, me (RDM), and two randoms. The random RNG was seriously bad about hate, but it gave us something to bitch/laugh at. I would have let her die, but we were waiting on Des's level to disband, and I was tired and didn't want to extend the party longer. Other than the RNG, the party was really good: Fun and relaxing.
I'm like 2K from 61, which is really odd. Our XP per kill was seriously low (90 unchained, 130-150 chain 5), but we killed really fast. Went to U-whatever Range and killed raptors. Bibiki Bay was too crowded, which was really sad.
I need to work on BLM really really soon (can't hit RDM 62 without becoming gimped) and while I hate playing the job, I want to work hard on NIN, too. (It's 6 now... don't ask me how I can hate a job I only took to level 6. :P ) Mentally my solution to all melee or party problems is to slap /NIN onto things ("Gah! This RNG sucks so much! If only she were /NIN she'd not be so nearly dead so often!"), so I really should have it leveled myself too, eh? Plus RDM/NIN is like the most uber thing out there.
